“Still a mere thrall.”

This was supposed to be a Halloween drawing, but unfortunately I was not able to finish it in time and then life got busier x.x

Finally got around it though! I like how Chry came out. The Mora eyes... eeeeeeh not really, but I wanted to get this out of my system. So there you have it! Hope you like it!

“You’re okay. I’ve got you.”

Miraak shudders against him, still hurt but able to think clearly enough to mutter: “Why do I let you foil all of my plans.”

Chrysanthe places a kiss to his hairline, “I think you know why.”

RE: “I left my love back on Red Mountain,” Teldryn tells him, and for a moment he sounds so distant, like he might be standing back in a place where the ash has fallen thick enough to be someone’s tomb.

Do you think Teldryn is happy seeing Chry and Miraak's supposed ''fate demands us kill the other'' actually turned out well and they're happy being together :] (unlike his own COUGH COUGH)

Firstly, that is beautiful artwork. You always characterise people so well! My favourite part is how Miraak stands with his arm tucked so genteelly behind his back, that feels very old fashioned and I love it.

Secondly yes, I think Teldryn is happy! I think you can have strong (potentially romantic) feelings for someone and still be glad to see them happy with someone else, especially if you're as mature and cool as Teldryn is. To go with the Nerevarine story, I think Teldryn (or whatever name he went by back then) tried to redeem Dagoth Ur and ultimately didn't succeed, so to see someone else turn it around is probably gratifying, if bittersweet. He figures that at least someone gets a happy ending, and he can be content with that.

@99corentine It’s been a while, but it seems summers are the time for my (somewhat) annual Gol Hah Dov art! If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend, without much spoilering, they finally made it to Sovngarde and the description was so visceral I knew I just had to draw it! (This is my new official art account, by the way, just to avoid confusion)

Tumblr, as usual, hates anything I spend more than two hours on, so the google drive host link is HERE. Please go look at it and zoom in on the details. This took seven hours and fifty four minutes and yes, I did hand write all that dovahzul, thank you for asking! Translation under the cut!

Translated, it reads:

Nuz aan sul fent alok fod fin vul dovah nok

But a day shall arise when the dark dragon's lies

Fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!

Will be silenced forever and then

Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot

Fair Skyrim be freed from dark Alduin's maw

Dovahkiin kos fin saviik do muz!

Dragonborn be the savior of men

Heyyyy I'm back to the GHD grind because that new chapter... WOOF THAT NEW CHAPTER—

Anyhow, @99corentine gets another Chrysanthe drawing! This was an experiment using just pencil and markers, skipping the line art stage aside final details for definition.

Coloring him was so so fun and the warm colors always keep me in a good mood when drawing Altmer. So, have a rosy boy!

(I also have a picture of this, but backlit by my lamp. looks pretty sick.)

A quick fanart of Chrysanthe and Miraak soaring away on Sahrotaar to hopefully somewhere nice and cosy. With sweetrolls and ash yam stew. 🥰

Happy gol hah dov anniversary to all those who celebrate🎉🎉

Little piece of miraak and chrysanthe! Chrys could be talking abt literally anything and miraak would be the most interested man on earth. They’re amazing<3

First fanfic I’ve ever drawn fanart of! this is one of my favorites on ao3, everything about it is just extraordinary. Physically could not put it down till I was fully caught up!

Hopefully inspiration will strike again and I’ll make more of these lovelies! Maybe I’ll do the septimus incident or something… we shall see! But for now this is all

Background only is under the cut, for those that are interested

Yes I know there is not a single place in Skyrim that looks like this but quite honestly? Skyrim’s landscape confuses and frightens me on the best of days so it’s better than nothing lol

#my art #artists of tumblr #gol hah dov #I also started reading this fic like. a while ago #but this is my first ‘real’interaction with it #so like #hey #how y’all doing #it’s good to be here #haha as of queueing this I already have 2 more sketches set up to be drawn #Skyrim #miraak #hmm this is also a reminder to get an ao3 acc #so I can comment on chapters n stuff #farlian does art

You know, having Teldryn over the phone can be something so personal.

I drew this marvelous man at the end of July and completely forgot to finish the colouring! Here he is, in a 1920's AU setting because I love the aesthetic.

He's of course talking to the Dragonborn, before and after entering in their service.

I like his shoes

After finishing my like… second reread of the amazing fic GOLHAHDOV by the amazing @99corentine since it wrapped up earlier this month, I needed do doodle something to get me out of the artist slump, so lo and behold, everyone’s favorite golden boi. Everyone go read this fic, it’s been a looooooong time since ones kept my attention so long, and even longer since I’ve been genuinely upset when it ended 😂😂

Happy (kinda late) New Year 2024!✨

Featuring the GOL HAH DOV team, cuz i missed drawing them :] (GHD and Chrysanthe belongs to @99corentine!)

It has been a very eventful year, and i haven't been active much because of personal life haha. But! I have made new friends, learned more things, and can feel proud of seeing my improvement.

I still look forward to the new year, and hope it will go smoothly for you as well :]

Have a wonderful day and a happy new year again!

@99corentine Please have this sketch as my way of saying I loved the final chapter of Gol Hah Dov and appreciate all your hard work. Everyone else left such thorough and heartfelt comments and I don't have much to add to that, so instead, I offer you this picture and my REM sleep.

Even though the story is done I do plan on making more fanart for it!

#gol hah dov #I had limited time and constant clip studio crashes when making this so it looks like ass #but it's the thought that counts! #ignore any weird stuff #i went in RAW with this one #no reference #no planning #no honour #blood to the blood god #sleep to the writing god #it's the “draw a horse from memory” meme except with miraak #good night

Afterword: Will there be a sequel to GHD?

After almost four years, GOL HAH DOV is finally a finished project. 50 chapters, just shy of 375K words (about 4-5 full novels’ worth of writing) and I don’t want to know how many hours of furiously typing, here we are at the finish line. As we started getting near the end a few people asked whether I was going to write a sequel, but the answer was too complex to put in an author’s note, so I thought I’d discuss it in more detail here.

Unfortunately, the short version of this is probably not, but let me explain why.

So, there are many things that could go in a sequel. Off the top of my head, I’ve yet to write about: the events of the Dawnguard DLC. The truth about Chrysanthe’s past. How they contend with Hermaeus Mora, who is still gunning for them. How the civil war unfolds when the First Dragonborn looks at both the Empire and Stormcloaks and says ‘nah, I’ll make my own faction’. How the Thalmor react to this. Miraak’s rise to power when he’s not allowed to use his mind control powers, and Chrysanthe’s general struggle to keep Miraak on a morally good path.

All of this could definitely make for another longfic but what I don’t have is any sort of romantic development. The trouble with writing a soulmates fic is that once the couple have overcome their personal issues, there’s very little further tension. Chrysanthe and Miraak actually got together very early in the fic (about chapter 12 out of 50) and the rest has been about them learning each other, becoming more intertwined… but I’m not really sure how they can get more intertwined, after the events of GHD. There are many external points of tension (politics, Thalmor, daedra) but there’s nothing internal - only Miraak’s dubious morality, but we already know that he’ll change his course for Chrysanthe, so what else is there to add?

Essentially, I can’t see how to further develop the relationship, and to me the romantic tension is what makes a fic worth writing. Without it, I just know that even if I started a GHD sequel, I wouldn’t have the enthusiasm to see it through to the end. Now that may change, and I might think of something new… but for the time being, I’m going to put GHD down and focus on other things.

Those other things are: 1) The Tav/Astarion Baldur’s Gate 3 longfic I’ve started, Tooth for a Tooth, which has all my attention at the minute. It’s darker than GHD but the protagonist has the same steely-stoic paladin vibe, so if you liked Chrysanthe you might like him too 2) A while ago I posted a fic idea in which the Last Dragonborn (Chrysanthe, or a totally new character) ends up in the past with pre-Apocrypha Miraak. Again this is a longfic that I’m not sure I really have the spoons for, but I’d say I’m more likely to write this than a GHD sequel 3) Various other bits and pieces, unfinished oldfics, etc.

I know that might be disappointing for some to read, but I hope my reasons make sense at least! And I hope that you still enjoy GOL HAH DOV as its own piece of work, and come back to read anything else that I might write in the future. Thank you again for coming on this Skyrim adventure with me!

My message is in bold in this text, additional thoughts and emotions i couldn't fit into a sentence naturally will be in parentheses and unbolded. i am typing this way so i can get my thoughts out, i know it might be a bit difficult to read (and i apologize)

i had legitimately one of the worst days of my life yesterday and somehow (legitimate reasons) (see above) (trust me it's been a clusterfuck) i haven't said anything about the GHD update but like.

guys i am genuinely speechless. for when @99corentine sees this: like. the alduin fight is the part of the dragonborn's journey that i have found the most difficult to encompass in words because it ranges from tedious to anticlimactic after the first few playthroughs (this is personal experience) (i play with higher health because i don't want to waste my Joint Time on in-game death setbacks) (they also could have done so much more with alduin's fight) (and the dragon cult in general but that's for another time) (fuck). the way it flowed was so amazingly natural and realistic to both real combat and playing skyrim (when the dragon lands on a different goddamn hill and you've gotta leg it over there)(example), i was just so impressed.

this is very stream of consciousness because my brain is having some trouble with executive functions (see first paragraph) (it's been bad) today but. I just am impressed so much by the choreography and the overall movement of the chapter.

Congratulations on checking off the "I cry" square on my bingo sheet.

Happy Pride! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I have a little gift art for @99corentine, the lovely Gol Hah Dov main cast, with their pride flags!!

For these four, especially Chrysanthe and Miraak, I wanted to pull my style back and try to make it closer to the way they'd originally been drawn. Flag explanations and close-ups below.

Chrysanthe: I chose the Gilbert Baker pride flag for him, and for Miraak as well! I much prefer the colors, and if you go and look up a little more about it, you'll find the history is very cool! It's the first gay pride flag. Chry doesn't necessarily strike me as MLM (men loving men) as much as he does MLM (mer loving Miraak), but this flag feels fitting nonetheless.

Miraak: I also went with the Gilbert Baker pride flag for him, on account of the reasons above. Given, well, as Corentine has stated, he's a 4000+ yr old semi-lich, he doesn't care much about his gender identity. I chose the Agender pride flag for that reason, but also... geen. He geen.

Lucien Flavius: It should be obvious what this boy's pride flag is. Whether it's the Aromantic, Asexual, or the Aroace flag, all apply to him! The beautiful sunset colors also happen to match his color palette and demeanor, which is a plus.

Teldryn Sero: Come on. It's Teldryn. We all know he's Pansexual, it's agreed upon universally. As for his gender identity? He's underneath the Nonbinary umbrella, but if you asked past that, he'd shrug it off.

Close-ups below!
