UNDER RED MOUNTAIN // THE DEATH OF VORYN DAGOTH

"This is the end of us / sleeping with the moon and the stars"

[tacccalb]

MOUNTAIN DEW RED!

[jollmaster]

once married, thrice divorced, still love each other

[yaaadooon]

reguri on mt. silver but green is trying every conceivable bullshit thing to get red off that mountain like making weird noises with his mouth, telling off color jokes, making promises he cannot keep, telling him his eyes are pretty.

[logicallyblind]

lying on my floor listening to ‘you can’t catch me now’ from ballad of songbirds and snakes on repeat trying to muster up the energy to write the jason & bruce inspired grief and narrative haunting central fic i plan on writing eventually

i mean look at the lyrics yall it’s perfect canon au atmospheric inspo for a dual switching pov

like bruce standing atop one of gotham’s crumbling buildings, perched on a gargoyle, snow and sleet hammering unforgivingly on his kevlar as he stares unblinkingly at Arkham’s foreboding walls- at the bars that cover the joker’s cell- contemplating.

‘There's snow fallin' over the city

You thought that it would wash away

The bitter taste of my fury

And all of the messes you made

Yeah, you think that you got away’

but then a series of flashes of different moments of jason make their way through his brain and he cannot bring himself to muddy jason’s his robin’s memory, he won’t allow his son’s existence to be drenched in any more blood, not the boy that was so full of sunshine and laughter and fierce protectiveness

‘… But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze

My footsteps on the ground

You'll see my face in every place

But you can't catch me now

Through wading grass, the months will pass

You'll feel it all around

I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere

But you can't catch me now

No, you can't catch me now’

and then the pov switches- and it’s jason, on his bike hurtling towards the flashing and wind battered city looming in the distance before him, chest warmed by the fire within him. It being endlessly fueled by the constant thrum of rage and betrayal and heartbreak and the aching need for the monster Joker to be far far in the depths of the earth forever where he will never hurt another robin, another child again

‘You can't, you can't catch me now

I'm comin' like a storm into your town

You can't, you can't catch me now

I'm higher than the hopes that you brought down

You can't, you can't catch me now’

there’s like, plot inbetween this point but there’s a pov switch again and it’s bruce and jason standing on opposite sides of a building, wind whipping around them accentuating the silence laid between them, rife with unspoken words and festering emotions, a clown’s corpse lying a few feet away from them- its blood spraying the wall behind it as well as the revolver held in the shaky hand of a 19 year old stood in front of the father who didn’t save him in the end- the same father that doesn’t recognise the ghost of the son that he remembers softly laying deep into the earth all those months ago..

‘… There's blood on the side of the mountain

It's turning a new shade of red

Yeah, sometimes the fire you founded

Don't burn the way you'd expect

Yeah, you thought that this was the end’

I really like the idea of omegaverse stuff being elf specific because of how confusing it’d be to outsiders. Nords just like “yeah sometimes the mer go a little fuck crazy. it’s kind of scary honestly.”

I think it’s so funny if it’s an elf+khajiit thing (Argonians get their own thing). Nords can’t figure out why some elves have obvious bite marks for a time. Or an elf with a human partner wondering how this works and if they should bite or not??? And this isn’t even getting into mer being able to smell pheromones this they have a whole new mode of communications men don’t have and can’t pick up on

Remind me, what was the Nords version of Lord Nerevar’s death again? Was it the one where they had one dude shout so hard the sky itself got sick or was that a different one?

I love the Nord version

The Dunmer are like "yeah so there was a battle and the Dwemer poofed and shit happened yo"

whereas the Nords just fucking. took this entire-ass historical event. and just SHOVED A BUNCH OF SHIT IN IT THAT NO OTHER VERSION MENTIONS. AT ALL.

it's like a super bad movie adaptation and it's fucking hilarious.

So in the original tale, Dagoth Ur learns about the Tools of Kagrenac and tells Nerevar. The Tools of Kagrenac would allow the Dwemer to make a mechanical god by being used on the heart of a dead god called Lorkhan, which is sacrilege to the Chimer. Nerevar prays to Azura and she confirms it. Nerevar goes to Dumac, the King of the Dwemer, about it. Dumac, who doesn't know what Kagrenac is doing, is like "first of all, how dare you." So Nerevar's like "well a literal goddess I just consulted confirmed it so fuck you I'm gonna fuck your shit up."

Nerevar goes to fuck Dwemer shit up.

Here Dunmer accounts diverge wildly, and the fact you never find out which one is true is what I love about the lore of this game. The gist we know that's true is that Nerevar fought Dumac, the Dwemer disappeared, the Tribunal became gods and Nerevar died at some point of his injuries.

The details are fuzzier. Some accounts say that Dagoth betrayed Nerevar. Others say that Nerevar betrayed Dagoth. Some say the Tribunal were present, others say they weren't. Some say Nerevar and Azura wiped out the Dwemer. The generally accepted story is that the Dwemer wiped themselves out, but some accounts blame Nerevar. And then of course the most disputed topic of all -- the truth as to how Nerevar died, whether he was injured by Dagoth, whether the Tribunal killed him, etc etc.

No mention of Nords, to my knowledge. It was all Chimer and Dwemer stuff, and the whole thing is a very tragic tale I still get sad over when I'm drunk enough, eleven years after playing the game.

THEN YOU HAVE THE NORD VERSION.

The Nords took one look at this story and basically turned into total Americans about it.

So THEIR super special secret OC was a dude who was dead and CAME BACK TO LIFE to lead their forces into Morrowind and to the Battle of Red Mountain! Why??? because their god was stuck in the mountain or something? Which wasn't entirely off-base -- Lorkhan is also known as Shor, and Shor is a Nord god, and his heart was in the mountain and a major focal point of all this history-bending bullshit. So the Nords were like "we can't have this story about our god without it being about US, too! WE WERE TOTALLY THERE AND LED BY THIS SUPER COOL GUY."

So their SUPER SPECIAL OC marches into the mountain only to find out IT WAS A TRAP, Shor's heart wasn't REALLY there, and the EVIL ELVES literally then go and and DROP A FUCKING MOUNTAIN on them. Also even though it was a ruse and their god wasn't actually there, he also WAS there????, and got the mountain dropped on him too, because EVIL ELVES. Also their SUPER SPECIAL OC killed the Dwemer king and made all the Dwemer disappear.

At which point Vivec showed up and "blasted [him] into hell".

I'm guessing Vivec somehow managed to add that little bit into Nord lore because it sounds like something Vivec would do. Both in the sense that he'd talk about how he wrecked this guy's shit because Vivec loves making himself look awesome but also in the sense that he'd insert that little addendum into history because he thought it was funny.

In another Nordic version of this story their SUPER SPECIAL OC joined forces with their god, instead of getting a mountain dropped on top of them, and fought Nerevar and Dumac. Dagoth took advantage of the chaos to randomly stab Dumac. Nerevar was like "the fuck, dude? I wasn't done talking to him" and stabbed Dagoth. So Shor took advantage of this stabbing to stab Nerevar himself, but not before getting stabbed right back by Nerevar.

Everyone dies, except the super special OC.

So yeah, the Dunmer have this point of history that's super controversial and the Nords just basically yoinked the whole thing and shoved their OC into it and made a hilarious Hollywood movie over it.

I'm seeing an aside note about a dude getting sad that his Voice "failed him" at Red Mountain so I'm guessing that COULD be the guy who yelled at the sky, not sure.

Are you implying that we get an Irish peaklord because a 10-year-old redhead got drunk, brawled their way through the demon and fae realms rather than face their mam’s wrath, got lost, somehow ended up at Cang Qiong. And THEN, since they’re there they thought they ‘might as well’ dig a giant hole in the dirt for hours under the blazing sun (while hungover, mind you)? And that then someone OTHER than the alcohol peak looked at this gremlin and says “Him, I want him.”?

Yes.

[More in #if Cang Qiong had an Irish peak lord AU]

No way I just had the most epic dream about a game with DeMenchev but then forget most of it and what stays is so foggy and vague I can hardly put it into words. Why are dreams like thissss

[aestheticitii]

concept: blue tries to propose to his girlfriend and be romantic for once but she asks a hundred relevant questions while they're dress shopping so he pretends his sister is getting married

the dress? well you need something to wear. this is my sister's wedding we're talking about

the ring? he doesn't need to make an excuse for that. she just goes in because shiny things and he tries his best to pretend this isn't going to be an engagement ring

she also calls up his sister to "congratulate" her but he's already told her about it so that's cool

they go to their two-story house that leaf's parents left for her when they decided to move to alola and he convinces her to go upstairs and try the outfit on.

except he left the flowers upstairs

"hey, babe? did you by any chance misplace some flowers?"

when she comes downstairs, he kind of gives up because those flowers actually had a note that said "please marry me" and he just starts leading her to the backyard but she's like wait, no, let's do this again properly

so she goes upstairs, then comes back down and acts all surprised when he stands there half-bemused, half-annoyed with a bouquet

(he is this close to just shoving it in her hands, but he can tell that's what she's hoping for so he plays it cool)

it's based off of what she said she wanted when she was a kid plus off-handed comments she's made to him over the years

so fairy lights, all their pokemon are there, the flowers are red roses, he calls her a princess but in that teasing way where it just makes her want to smack him and kiss him at the same time (she sticks to the first one)

she's very embarrassed to learn that daisy was not actually getting married. daisy, for her part, thinks it's hilarious that blue went to all these lengths to propose and she brings it up at family reunions

(once, blue says to his kid that lead was dying to marry him so he took pity on her, and then never again, because someone told his kid about the time she beat his strongest team and he became really quiet, not because he was mad but because he was thinking the entire time "oh my god, you're so pretty"

and the kid is like, "i don't know, dad. you seem like the desperate one to me. i mean, what kind of loser thinks the person that beat them is pretty? you even decorated the backyard."

the kid does eat their words. it's the oak family curse)

[isa-ah]

I don't think I can express to y'all how crazy blue going up mt silver to get red makes me
