If we’re in trouble, just throw a Dragonborn at the problem and hope for the best.

Akatosh, often, definitely

A Taste of Faith

[PRINT] - [COMMISSIONS]

Ok so the concept for this piece was : historical gay nuns, and 70s lesbian vampire movies meets tes (don't ask me why- I just had a vision at 3 am)

Because I think Serana should have been meaner<3 I love women's wrongs and when vampires do the suck <3

Btw of you want to see more gay Serana art, go check out @gay-of-waterdeep, their art is wonderful, and I can't say this was not a bit inspired by what they do :))

Process (and me rambling about some of my favorite 70s lesbian vampire movies (because I have a problem)) below vvv

Additional details about this drawing ! 1) I used the same Mara design than the one from my tarot deck :)) and 2) the other woman is one of the priestess in the temple in Riften lglggigkglgl her name is *check wiki* Dinya Balu

And now......... Some movies I enjoy because my house my rules, you came this far so why not hear about niche european movies :))))))

Disclaimer for a majority of the films in this genre : the male gaze is very fucking obvious in these movies... they were made by men for men, and the message is often "lesbianism is a dangerous temptation for women". It's a glairing flaw nearly all of them share and that sucks (and frankly it's a flaw Serana's writting kinda has in my opinion, minus the lesbianism part, but let's not dwell on that)- so if you can't get past it, it's completly understandable, be on your way and have a nice day <3

- Daughters of Darkness ! A toxic man is returning to london with his newly wed wife, but they get stuck in Belgium and are forced to stay in a luxurious hotel. Don't worry about the 10/10 smokeshow countess seducing his wife :). Completely unrelated, this movie has, in my opinion, the most beautiful lesbian kiss I've ever seen- but I might not be very objective because Delphine Seyrig is there lglglflflllglm The best one in the list ! So if you want to whatch one, whatch this one <3

- The blood spattered bride ! This is more of... an aquired taste let's say- but I really like it ! A quite effective horror movie, with goofy ass scenes (shoutout to the vampire lady buried in the sand naked with only a diving mask that is not the screenshot because tits), and emasculation being a recuring theme <3 (but if you want to watch it, please check the content warnings beforehand, it has a lot of very shocking and frontal scenes, and it's the 70s so it's not done very tactfully. Also pretty intense flashing lights)

- The vampire lovers ! Ok so this one is a lot less fun compared to the other two because it's made by the Hammer BUT... 1) Ingrid Pitt hello and 2) it's such a intriging thing to see a very christian/conservative studio make a film like that. I know a lot of people don't like the Hammer movies from the 70s, because the studio had a lot less money, and were making wild decisions. But I love them, because they tend to be much more fun bloody and sexy ! I'm a simple woman mjllkklhkhlhlho case in point with the vampire lovers (although if you want a fun vampire hammer movie from the 70s, Dracula ad 1972 is way better). And Peter Cushing is there (i love this man so much-) !

And now I shall resume my quest to find Vampire Lesbos by Jésus Franco and have a probably mid experience watching it xoxo

Dipping my toes into Elder Scrolls lore for the first time: we know about Meridia and the Magna-Ge, yeah, but I feel like Azura has - or had - something to do with Akatosh/Auri-El.

He's literally Time incarnate. Azura gives prophecies. She's also Lady of Dawn and Dusk, and her symbols are a moon and star. The star - and her literal Star item - has pointed rays that could just as easily be a sun design. The Snow Elves worshipped Auri-El in Skyrim with a heavy sun theme. In Morrowind, the Nine Divines are implied to be cool with her major goals at that point, or at least cool with the idea of a Nerevarine enough to show up in person (?) along the way in side quests.

Then I just looked up her role in the Khajiit religion, in which she literally has Auri-El's role cutting the heart from Lorkhan.

Does anyone know . . . what her deal is?

💒 Mara is a goddess of the Nine Divines. She is also known as Mother-Goddess and Goddess of Love.

Mara says: Live soberly and peacefully. Honor your parents, and preserve the peace and security of home and family.

Lucien: "That's NOT how fucking dialectics work, you stupid cuck! I didn't study Xarxes plus continental philosophy in general at The Arcane University for SEVEN FUCKING YEARS for some LOW LIFE KNOW IT ALL who's CLEARLY never fucking read Xarxes as he would KNOW that XARXES has NEVER FUCKING EVER use the terms “thesis, antithesis, synthesis” to start perpetuating these LIES at EVERY SINGLE FUCKING OPPORTUNITY! This isn't Xarxes, my friend, no, no, no. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis was thought up by Sotha Sil and it's clearly inferior to Xarxes' dialectical method of imminent critique. Yes, it's called imminent critique. And dialectics is only ONE PART of Xarxes' full method. Which again is called imminent critique which you would know if you had ACTUALLY BOTHERED TO READ XARXES, IT'S LITERALLY IN THE SCIENCE OF LOGIC, YOU DUMB FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I honestly cannot believe the fucking arrogance to come out here, spouting that anti Xarxes garbage. Where did you get your fucking info on dialectics? Fucking Calcelmo? By The Divines, I cannot deal with this bullshit right now. I'm sorry, I'm leaving, I'm fucking leaving."

Alduin: How can you find what you make annoying? You made it.

The Last Dragonborn: Akatosh made you and he finds you annoying.

Remember, TES religion isn't like reality.

There are very very real tangible dangers of pleasing aedra/daedra and there are very real *benefits* as well.

Essentially, this isn't a popularity poll! Please consider your answer honestly and carefully!

Winner of this poll will influence the next poll topic.

Priest of Akatosh

What started as a quick doodle to try a new art style turned into hours of staring at Martin Septim. So really, a great day!

Back from the dead for Snelf headcanons bc Skyrim is my coping mechanism rn

The order of Jephre had no magnificent chantry but a hidden grove very similar to the Eldergleam Sanctuary. Bosmeri exiles from Valenwood weren't uncommon to see there, but they often worked to repent for their exile. The priests would tend to the hidden natural wonders across their landscape and soothe the spirirs of nature. Or even answer their requests to promote peace between the parties.

Archivists fell under the order of Xarxes. They were known to keep archives in a few major cities, but not just anyone could wander into their collections. Obviously, they were protective of their secrets and knowledge, so only highly esteemed snelves could have clearance. Even if they had permission, they were still highly monitored. Good luck stealing from their archives when they stood.

Initiate Paladins had grueling entry exams such as the pilgrimage of the Forgotten Vale, but it went much further after that. They'd be made to sit in the cold with just their robes and recite teachings of Auriel. Usually, their training sessions were held during the day so Auriel could witness.

Trinimac wasn't as popular as others in the Falmeri pantheon, but his order was far from weak. Those devoted to Trinimac often pledged to uphold the image of an honorable warrior like their patron god. However, they could be a bit brutal at times, so they were effective executioners of justice.

The Chantry of Magnus was theorized to be where current day Winterhold stands, but scholars debate on the myth.

Magnus was very popular among any mage in the Falmeri dominion. When a Snow Elf won a magical duel, they'd give thanks to Magnus for their survival.

Necromancy was looked down upon unless it was for channeling purposes. It was a rare practice but often used for guidance from previous masters in desperate times. In all practices, they tried to steer away from using a corpse. They viewed it as tearing the soul from Aetherius.

The priests and priestesses of Mara cared for children orphaned by their mother perishing at birth.

Interestingly, there was a phenomenon coined by Falmeri healers called "Mara's Rage." It was said when a falmer was horrifically assaulted, Mara would give the victim a piece of her aedric anger. Her anger would fuel the victims, and they would pursue their assiliant for revenge.

Syrabane's order was very popular among alchemists and healers. His legends of warding off disease were the inspiration for many young apprentices to begin their studies.

Kynareth, called Kyne by the Nords, is a goddess of the Nine Divines, is the strongest of the Sky spirits and is the deity of the heavens, the winds, the elements, and the unseen spirits of the air. Patron of sailors and travelers, Kynareth is invoked for auspicious stars at birth and for good fortune in daily life.

The Nords Hate Me Because I Made Their Sex Goddess A Monstergirl

Just kidding they love their monstergirl goddess they’re chill like that

Dibella and Sanguine, twins with a bitter sibling rivalry and with many trick up their sleeves for each other. Both will claim they’re the oldest.

While them being siblings in TDI won’t be canon (bc of conflicting plot lines and lessons), I do so love playing with the idea that they’re related. Their domains are so similar, and I think they’re rivalry came from confusion about what made them distinct. Both have realms surrounding beauty and artistry, but Dibella leans more towards expression and decoration while Sanguine leans toward exposure and a natural state.

I was originally going to lean much heavier into the lily dynamic for Dibella, since I already associated moths with Jyggalag in TDI, but then I saw a bunch of cute moth monstergirl art and couldn’t resist. Sorry Jyggy you have to share symbols
