She had been tending the king, late evening after supper, and somehow Wyrmtunga gained entrance. Slithered in, she thought as she pressed a cold cloth to her uncle’s forehead. He had been feverish for unknown reasons. Muttering over and over about ravens and wolves in his sleep. He dreams of them much, of late, and Eowyn can find no cause for it. (She took it to Jorunn who said, I cannot scry another man’s dreams for you. If your uncle came, I would tell him what I thought. But to you? It would not be fair to him. But what if it was important, Eowyn had insisted. What if it were a matter of life or death? My uncle is ill and I think something unnatural is the cause of it. Jorunn had smiles that strange, toothy smile of hers made all stranger still with her lips charcoal painted and the red lines down cheeks and nose and neck. The headdress that hides her elderly eyes. Eowyn admires the woman and dislikes her. A strange twin emotion in her breast. I can tell you, my dear hart, that it is unnatural. But as for deaths? Worry not about his. I foresee it, in the manner that all who are mortal must die, but I foresee it for a deeper future than now. A sloping shrug as she offered Eowyn tea who accepted. Tell me, dear hart, shall I call you hart or hind? Eowyn shook her head. What mean you? Ah, ah, we are not yet come to that. Maybe we never well. That is your choice and your choice alone. So be it. Jorunn leaned over the low-banked fire and pressed her warm, dry palm to Eowyn’s face. Child, be swift and be brave and take what it is you want. For know that in this life, no one is going to give it you for free.)

Eowyn and Jorunn - I ship them.

to be honest, the biggest issue with eso’s writing, and one i really hope they finally address and get their heads out of their asses over, is how badly integrated the main character has become into the story ever since they switched to their chronological nightmare philosophy of “everything can happen at any time”.

compare how much more grounded the pc feels in the alliance stories and main story vs the xpacs, where it is becoming increasingly more egregious how you’re treated as just a random mercenary/adventurer/what have you because you might be doing stories out of (release) order... meanwhile you may have beaten molag bal in single combat, ruined the plans of the daedric triad and saved summerset and vvardenfell, stopped a dragon invasion as well as the gray host returned and beat back mehrunes dagon into oblivion twice. and that on top of everything you do in the alliance stories.

and then you get to high isle and... are once again Random Adventurer #1534, with lady arabelle saying you’re “on retainer” and pretending she hired you (???), like you aren’t an eye of the queen/the king’s arrow/emeric’s champion, and close friends with the alliance leaders, and very likely involving yourself with the situation for that reason.

this works if you are still Random Adventurer #1534 because in the utter confusion that is starting eso these days, you started with the peace talks instead of the alliance stories (despite anyone who does that being able to clearly tell that they played out of chronological order, no matter what zos says), but if you actually played the story in order? no amount of “hello my friend :)” or random side characters from side quests you may or may not have completely forgotten about will fix the vast sense of disconnect created by who you are supposed to be, and who you are treated as.

the alliance stories don’t do that. the alliance stories build up over each zone, creating an actual narrative, with your character at the center. the dc will even pull the main story into it with the repeated references to your soulless status. as a result, the alliance stories make for a much more cohesive and enjoyable story experience, despite the fact that i think the writing quality in some of the xpacs and dlc is vastly improved over the vanilla content. admittedly not high isle’s though, that one is a lost cause either way. at least ayrenn and emeric got fancy new looks???

#eso #elder scrolls online #that's not even getting into how awkward cadwell's silver and gold make it #which is weird because i think jorunn treated me as ayrenn's champion in the greymorr epilogue?? #and that was wayyyy after i did silver on lanny #meanwhile all three think i'm their champion in high isle and lanny is like <.< #also i know a lot of people hated blackwood because of eveli #but i'll take eveli being overly cheerful for the situation at hand over arabelle getting constantly hyped but never delivering #jules.txt

How many times can a man betray people before he has no one left to stab in the back?

5 Songs

tagged by @wispstalk and @thelonghanddaydream to share 5 songs that remind me of my WIP or characters. thank you both!!

1. Drawn To The Blood, Sufjan Stevens

this is such a Jórunn song to me 🤧 i made the connection based on my first impression of the lyrics (and on one very obvious lyric in particular), which was before i discovered sufjan’s intended meaning. but i still think it fits her, even if only in its bittersweet sound. it resigns itself to its sadness in a way i just love...

2. Golden Brown, The Stranglers

a little on the nose for Raydrin, but i love this song too much not to include it. it works on both its literal interpretation (a man who is deeply in love) and its intended meaning (of a man in the throes of heroin addiction). i think it also fits him in sound and vibe... maybe raydrin in a modern tamriel would listen to music like this

3. I’m That Guy, Agar Agar

my Mathyas song, dramatic bitch that he is (or more accurately, dramatic bitch that i am about him). it’s worth listening to all the way through if you have time, it builds quite spectacularly :^)

no shade to cassathra but i simply do not listen to the kind of music that would remind me of her. she is no less beloved to me, but for the next two songs i’ve chosen ones which remind me of my current WIP (not my longfic but a little side project i’m working on to keep me from going insane while i get this damn degree!)

4. Hollow Talk, Choir Of Young Believers

5. A Knife In The Ocean, Foals

narrowing it down to just these five was hard so!! feel free to send in asks if you want any more character songs :)

not sure who to tag who hasn’t been tagged already... no pressure to do this either way! @bigcheezey @mondhound @connortheconceded @fivekoboldsinacoat @tossiemering @reaperkiller @aartyom @swordcoasts @crynwr-drwg @falmerbrook @sundered-ghost @fitzonomy and ofc anyone who fancies the excuse to talk about their projects :^)
