Calderus x Gn!Sick!Reader

Word Count: 1.5k

Content & Warnings: Hurt/comfort, physical comfort, fluff, brief descriptions of being unwell + some crying, emotional support dragon, Calderus has gentle hands and claws and grabbable horns, love confession?

Summary: Calderus shows up one night at your cabin after you fail to visit him for a few days

“Farmer?” A familiar voice called out through the opening crack of your front door. The slab of wood creaked further and a horned figure peered inside. “Oh, my dearest farmer…” he said once he saw your sorry state. Moonlight poured out behind him, covering his hair and shoulders.

“Calderus…” you turned further onto your stomach; covered in blankets.

“I am so glad to see you safe and sound.” His voice rapidly approached, along with the tap of claws on wooden floorboards. “What is…” he tentatively placed his fingers on you and you groaned into your pillow. “Are you unwell?” He whispered. Not wanting to look at him, you nodded. A moment passed, and the sound of something dragging across the floor pinged at the headache behind your eyes.

Presuming Calderus to be sitting in a chair at your bedside, you blindly reached out with one hand. It found its target and you tightened your hold to never let go.

“Is there anything I can do for you? I know I am not very good with cooking, but perhaps I could-“

“Juststayherewithme…” you mumbled, squeezing his hand to prevent him from leaving.

“Of course.” He responded in a silent nod, wrapping a second hand around your own. “Whatever it is that you want.”

A long, drawn out hum escaped your lips in satisfaction at the newfound peace of his presence. Your body was positively aching at the work you couldn’t pass up for your farm animals, just from the past few days alone. You’d been so busy, and so tired, and so sick that you couldn’t even visit Calderus.

“‘m sorry I didn’ visit you…” you told him, not able to keep the guilt out of your tone. The creak of the chair indicated him leaning forward as a hand held your shoulder.

“You do not need to apologize for that. I could handle you not visiting me for a few days. Right now, I am much more concerned about your own health.”

You hated how worried he sounded. Not because you hated him, no, quite the opposite. But because it just served to make you feel even more guilty.

“Please don’t worry about my health.” You cried suddenly in a high voice, the pain of your body aiding in your pained emotions. A tear or two ran down the side of your nose while you clutched your abdomen beneath you. Everything hurt. It hurt so much. You just wanted it to be gone and you wanted him to stay and make everything better.

Something touched your eyebrow and you flinched.

“Please don’t cry.” You heard the wobble in his voice as he said it. A clawed finger brushed some hair away from your temple before running down your moist cheek. “Anything but that…” he whispered more to himself than to you. His fingers trailed down your shoulder before sliding under the blanket. “I simply cannot bear it…”

“Calderus-“ you failed in your attempt not to sob.

“Shhh…” he hushed to you, caressing your back up and down with his hand. “Just allow me this, please, and if it is what you want, I shall leave afterwards.”

You squeezed your eyes shut farther and focused on his gentle touch. The blanket got pushed back, and he smoothed his palm up between your shoulder blades before rubbing deep circles into your side. It felt… so nice…

A humming originated from his mouth. The sound was music to your ears. He played a soft tune with his lips as he sought to quell the horrid aches within your back. It flowed into your ears and softened the hammering sensation behind your eyes; all melting away. Once he changed up his tactic and began scratching you through the thin cotton of your nightshirt, you couldn’t help the sigh that escaped you in an easy breath. His curved, yet gentle claws dragged up your spine and over your shoulders. At times they would reach the neck and delicately graze the skin there; sending tingly feelings through your nape and emitting more happy sighs from your parted lips. Those same sensations drew up and down your spine from the trail of his claws, and it made the experience all the more enjoyable. The musical hum of mysterious nature continued to grow, and as time went on, illegible words peeked through in a mumble of syllables. It was not in the common tongue. Something about it seemed ancient, but so was Calderus, and there were many things you had yet to learn about him.

And then you caught something among the words; something you had heard Calderus mutter to himself on occasion.

“What does that mean?” You perked up, blinking your bleary eyes in the moon-lit darkness. Calderus halted his movement and music in favor of focusing on you.

“What is it that you are referring to?” He inquired. His hand returned to his lap, and you mourned the loss of contact.

“That word you said.” You jutted your face forward for a second before laying your head sideways over folded arms. Now, he was horizontal on your visual axis. Still just as beautiful.

“Which one?” He leaned down. You spoke a jumbled version of the word you heard.

“I hear you say it all the time whenever I visit. You mumble it to yourself.” You explained. In leu of answering you immediately, Calderus’ face turned darker in the shadows. It reached the tips of his ears and he bashfully looked away; fingers covering his mouth.

“Calderus?” You tilted your head a bit. He hunched further away. “What does it mean?” You asked again, curiously.

With a shuddering breath, he parted his fingers and looked at you from the side; a single visible eye framed by a blush.

“It means ‘my love’.”

Oh.

Oh.

Heat flooded your cheeks. You buried your face into your pillow to smother it. How could you literally face him after hearing that? You would just tell him you still weren’t feeling well. Yeah, that would work. That is, it would have if you didn’t just hear him say your name with such love and tending care.

“Yeah?” You responded nervously, turning timid.

“It is getting late, and I cannot yet stray too far from my home. It is with such a heavy heart that I inform you I cannot stay any longer.”

You think your heart just broke.

“O-oh…” the word warbled out of you. The chair beneath him creaked as he went to stand up. “W-wait.” You told him. You weren’t sure what you were doing.

Scratch that, you knew exactly what you were doing.

“Yes?” He hummed, doing as you asked and leaning close again out of concern. In your spontaneity of not wanting him to leave you, you desired one last act of affection before he did. It would tide you over until you could see him again.

Sitting up from your formerly relaxed position, the blanket pooled around your hips and you reached your hands forward. Calderus found the sturdy base of his horns within the tight grip of your fingers to move as they pleased. He quietly yelped. Firmly, you pulled his face close and connected your lips.

Immediately after, you parted with a gasp-like intake of air, but didn’t let go of him yet. He looked much like before; only this time with a much, much darker skin tone on his cheeks. His eyes were so full of wonders and questions, but regretfully, neither of you had the time.

“Visit me tomorrow.” You pleaded, standing up on your knees now and looking down at Calderus’ face. He just stared in awe; sliding a hand up your arm before wrapping it around the one you had on his horn.

“I will.” He lilted, starry eyes turning heavy. His second hand found yours. Pulling them both off of his head, he brought them to his lips and kissed the knuckles with such a gentleness that it cured you of all misery. “My love.” He added, tightening his hold on you.

“I’ll be here.” You conceded in a slight lamentation. You slipped out of his hold and plopped down onto your feather mattress. “Don’t forget me.” You uttered quietly. Calderus crouched and l pressed his forehead to yours. It was a clumsy gesture, but it was perfect.

“I could never forget you. Even if I were to lose all of my memories, even if I lost every essence of myself, I know that you would still stay in the deepest recesses of my mind. You are too important to forget.” The last part was barely a breath.

You squeezed your eyes shut and pressed your mouth closed in order not to cry. You would not cry. Not again.

“Just as long as you do not forget me either.” He said. Your eyes opened. He was about to leave, but the thought was unimaginable. Forget him? How could you ever forget someone so lovely? Someone so impossibly intertwined with your life that your very soul came to rely on him for air? For life?

“Never.” You whispered.

Then he left. You were alone once again with just your sickly body and the echo of his presence.

But you were happy.

Update: I came across the dialogue!

Here are the screenshots :P

Calderus the man (dragon) that you are...

So imma talk about some dialog that I got from Caldarus so spoilers. I will be tagging this post as a spoiler and hiding it, but I feel like I have to explicitly state that this post contains spoilers.

So I've done the Star Gazing event, and since then, Cal has said some cute lines and such. One line that I got (I didn't screenshot the lines sadly) was him talking about how since he's taken a mortal form, his heart has been beating rather fast and he doesn't really know why.

When I say that I giggled, I would be doing a disservice to the noise that I made. But I made me think of wanting a fic where the farmer decided to "help" Caldarus figure out what would be causing this odd issue. (I didn't mean anything sexual but I could be, be my guest)

Anyway, I just wanted to share that thought. I genuinely might take up trying to write for him. Or at least finally make fan art for a fandom that I'm in.

[jirachuuu]

The pookie as per usual🫶🏼

[m1ster1e]

Long time no see everyone lol. Ngl I've been gone for a while because I went through a lot of dark shit but that's okay I'm back now! I'll still be working on Paper Airplanes for sure but I would also like to work on the other fandoms I'm apart of. I also have gotten into Fields of Mistria so maybe expect some March and Calderus soon!!

Can't wait to get back into writing :) ☆

[skunkes]

Fields of mistria spoilers sorta

CONSIDER: the possibility of some saint making replacement icons for Calderus... Im manifesting this into reality so hard i Need This

There was a mod for portrait/sprite replacement even before his reveal (with white hair) so I know dis will absolutely be a thing... if its serious enough even I might give it a try considering i was picky as hell about portrait mods when I played stardew (so i never installed any...they always twinkified elliott)

[skellseerwriting]

okay, wow

first off, I was practically getting Deja vu reading this. I literally made an in-depth post just like this a few days ago (spoilers for 2 things on Calderus’s gift list)

one thing I noticed for the first time in your post is the broken statue of Calderus. It’s broken in exactly the same places as the mines statue. Lower right wing and upper half of the right face. Left front leg and spike on the left wing.

either they were really lazy with how to design the broken statues (doubtful) or something caused them to break (like magic getting sealed away)

really interesting to think about

Here's some random thoughts and speculation I've been having about the dragons in Fields of Mistria

First, I have not read any spoilers that people have found from looking at the games data and have been trying to stay away from such spoilers. So, this could all already be known or completely incorrect - I just it would be fun to share thoughts and maybe speculate with anybody else who has not looked at spoilers (expect for who the last romance candidate is - that's the only thing I've seen, and it will be mentioned at the end.) This will be fairly long so it's all under the readmore.

Mostly I've been thinking a lot about the second dragon statue in the mines and what potential role that dragon could have in the overall story. Here's what the Mine Dragon looks like in the overworld:

Compare that to Caldarus both before and after being fixed and there are some slight differences between them.

First difference between them is that, even with the lighting differences they are a different color. Caldarus has more tan and yellow undertones while the Mine Dragon has more blue undertones.

Their horns are also very different. The Mine Dragon's currently singular horn has a larger curve and ends at the middle of the head while Caldarus's horns don't curve as much and stop short of the back of the middle of his head.

Then there's the points on the top of the wings. Caldarus's are shorter and stick straight up while the Mine Dragon's are longer and curve backwards.

The Mine Dragon in general seems to have a slimer body and face. A lot of the time (definitely not all the time though) these traits are used to signify a more feminine character. Because of this, and because of the fact that the gender ratio for the villagers of Mistria is very even between men and women, I personally would say that the Mine Dragon is likely to be a woman. (Personally, I would love that so I am hopping that's the case)

Now let's look at the two dragon statuettes that you can find at dig sites:

The first one is stated in game to be Caldarus and although these guys are small and don't have much detail, it does look like him. The second one is an "Unknown Dragon" and while this could theoretically just be there to let you know that other dragons do exist even if we never see them, I don't think that's the case here.

This unknown dragon statuette has a couple similarities to the Mines Dragon statue. The color is similar, and the horns also curve back towards the middle of the head.

To me, this implies that back before magic was sealed away in Mistria, both of these dragons were equally important to it.

The only hang up that I have is that unknown dragon statuette is part of the Oopart set. Oopart stands for "Out of Place" in archeology. Which could mean that this dragon is not from Mistria, or it could mean that these statuettes were originally part of the mines but somewhere along the way were moved outside of them and lost to time. Either way, it seems like the Mine Dragon was sufficiently important to Mistria that it got its' own statuettes and because it has an important role in the progression of the game, I'd say that the Mine Dragon statue is likely going to be fixed and/or given a name later in the story and continue to have some sort of importance in the overall story as well.

This begs the question of how it will be important to the story overall. As it stands now, I see a different character arcs that the Mine Dragon could fulfil.

Just another Dragon - This could simply be used to show another side of what dragons can be like/ what life was like back when people and dragons still lived and worked together.

A rival for Caldarus - rival of what exactly? I'm not entirely sure - maybe just for the town's best dragon or perhaps just some bad blood that goes back to when the dragonguard was an actual thing.

An antagonist - magic was clearly sealed away for some reason and presumably we are going to find out why at some point in the story. This is a very cozy game with little conflict, so I don't really expect this to be the case. However, it's still a possibility and could be resolved with low stakes.

Those are my reasonable ideas. I also have a tin hat theory -

4. Romance candidate - because being able to date either a masculine or feminine dragon would be cool! I did mention at the start that I know the last romance candidate is the Dragon Priestess so how could the Mine Dragon possibly be romanceable? Easy - they are the same person. Honestly this really isn't based on anything other than the fact that I think it would be neat (I did say it was a tin hat theory I do not actually expect this to be the case lol). What if? What if the Dragon Priestess is a dragon herself and she simple looks more human and has been stuck in the mines all these years because not only was magic sealed away but her dragon statue has fallen into disrepair. The human statues of her in the mines have not fallen into disrepair so this is the only form that she can appear in. Like how Caldarus could only appear as a statue in the farmers dreams at first because there hasn't been enough magic released for him to appear as an actual dragon.

That is all, please tell me if you have any theories about what role the Mine Dragon will play in the story. I hope you enjoyed my ramblings and tin hat theory that I've been dying to share :)

Dragontails

Calderus x Gn!Reader

Word Count: 1.6k

Content & Warnings: fluff, communication, blushing Calderus, physical affection, mutual-pining, no admission of feelings though

Summary: You’re hanging out with Calderus when you touch his tail without thinking

It was a lovely spring afternoon in the Deepwoods of Mistria. Golden rays filtered through fluffy clouds and swaying leaves, while the grass rustled along to the melody of flightful, feathered creatures that lived nearby. Accompanying the tune was an elegant instrument of strings held in the capable, but delicate, arms of the dragon at your side. Eyes closed and nearly swaying along with the nature around him, Calderus gracefully plucked the strings as he fell deeper and deeper into the trance of music.

Everything breathed into the sounds, creating something that was truly captivating to hear. He was one with Mother Nature. One with the harmony that surrounded him and his home. It manifested in the way his clawed, slender fingers glided along the silver threads, dancing with them in a pattern only he knew the secrets of. His stone face was one of complete calm and concentration, not a single muscle betraying him. As you stared longer and longer into his features, you turned increasingly aware of just how in the depths of your feelings your heart laid. It ached and soared at the beautiful being in front of you; utterly capturing your soul for all eternity.

Sitting next to the one that filled your stomach with question mark butterflies made you more joyous than you could possibly imagine. Despite the bench being carved out of the firmest of stone, you hardly noticed your discomfort over the sight being gifted to your eyes. Similarly lost in a trance of your own, your attention eventually veered to an originally unnoticed motion.

The stone-like tail that belonged to your enchanting companion was in a rhythm tied to the tune of the small instrument. It swayed back and forth in a slow movement, the effect giving off one of being underwater as the pointed tip curved inward before curving back toward the other side and repeating the fluent process.

It was so mesmerizing, in fact, that you couldn’t help yourself with that happened next. The spines ran along most of the tail, but the wide, scaly base was entirely smooth as you placed your palm on it and started running your hand upwards. Calderus’ spine went rigid and the music he was playing turned into dissonance in the last second of audible notes. Hackles raised, his arms were tense as he turned to you and you drew your hand away. The first thing to leave your tongue was apologies upon seeing his reaction.

“I’m sorry, Calderus. Did I hurt you?”

As you said it, the realization of the middle of his face being a couple shades warmer and a couple shades darker didn’t escape your notice. The pupils of his widened eyes had broadened, and his lips were tightly pressed together. He looked nervous, and you felt guilty.

“No…” he exhaled, staring over your shoulder while his tail twitched. The musical instrument lay on his lap while his fingers grasped at the fabric of his legs. “You did not hurt me.”

You examined him a little longer; concern still consuming you at touching him without permission.

“Are you sure? You can be honest with me.”

Calderus inhaled in a shuddered breath while squeezing his eyes shut for a moment. “Yes… I am sure.” Once he opened them, he deigned to look at you directly. “Since you have granted me to be honest with you, I will admit the truth that… it was actually quite nice.” His face looked even warmer as he said it, and it made what you were sure was a matching heat in your own cheeks.

Distracting yourself by looking at a nearby tree, you pinched your knee before hearing a phrase that made your heart skip a beat. “You may touch my tail again, if you would like.”

“Really?” You inquired, lips slightly parted in an “o”. Calderus’s lungs expanded and his shoulders raised as he looked at you with growing confidence; still blushing just as much as before.

“Yes…” he breathed, subtly shifting towards you and simultaneously angling away that he might put himself in a more convenient position. Twiddling with his thumbs for a moment, he immediately stopped and moved his tail back towards you for easy access. Fire burned your face as you looked at the limb you now had his consent to caress.

Hesitating only a moment, you brought your hand up once again to the base, right next to his spine. Upon repeating that same contact, Calderus shuddered and stiffened again. Quickly though, he relaxed; muscles loosening up. When you repetitively ran your hand up and down the area, he let out a sigh as you practically pet his tail. It reacted with light spasms underneath you at every scale-to-skin contact. Eventually, you trailed your fingers over each stone-like spine, up until the final sharp tip at the end. When he shivered again, you asked him if he could feel it.

“Only some of it.” He responded, flustered face half visible as his breathing turned shallow. “It is similar to humans having nails or hair. You cannot necessarily feel them, but when something comes in contact with them, it interacts with the nerves they are indirectly attached to.”

Softly nodding, you started once more with affectionately stroking the smooth, stony scales close to his back; not missing the way Calderus held his breath and tilted his chin up. Upon you reaching the midway point, his formerly (mostly) motionless tail gently wrapped around your wrist before pulling it close so he could examine it with his own hands.

“It is strange.” He murmured, tracing the lines on your palm. If you had some chicken eggs you were sure you could scramble them on your face right then. The way he looked right now… the way he was looking at your hand right now... “I am quite used to my old body’s capabilities to feel things, to an even greater extent than I am able now. But for some reason, it has never felt this powerful before. Is it normally like this for humans?”

Calderus looked up at you with big, curious eyes for answers. The warm tone of his cheeks was still there, and you could only hope he couldn’t tell you were in a similar -if not worse- state.

Sucking in a big breath, you turned your attention to the rough hands that held yours and mirrored Calderus; rubbing your thumb over the lines in his cold skin.

“Sometimes.” You told him, still trying to discover the right thing to say. It’s not like there was a book on “things to know when you go from dragon to human”. And the closeness, both physical and emotional, was doing something to your head. “I think it mostly depends on who is touching you. If it were a stranger, then it would be uncomfortable. But if it were someone you were fond of…” you couldn’t bring yourself to finish the sentence.

Calderus hummed, lifting your knuckles to his nose. It made your face grow hot at the tender act. Was he trying to inhale your scent? Was that something dragons did? “I would have to agree with that sentiment.” He murmured, eyes closed as he angled your fingers sideways. Surely he didn’t mean that, you wondered in light of the current circumstances. “Humans may be peculiar, but I guess that is on me for being so fond of one…” he trailed off as he nuzzled his nose into the center of your palm. You flinched, though not for negative reasons, and that drew Calderus away from the hypnotic properties of your hand as he realized what he was doing.

Slowly, like a weed, the cool tones of his cheeks and nose grew warmer and warmer until your were positive any more would be inhumanly possible. Taking his time with his embarrassed reaction, Calderus looked away and delicately placed your hand between your knee and his where they touched. He didn’t let go as if burned. Rather, he took an eternity to pull away, crossing his hands in an articulated manner on his lap.

“Please forgive my forwardness.” He told you, sounding the most bashful he ever had before. The sound of his voice absolutely melted you.

Turning to face the forest in front of you, you went along with avoiding eye-contact and rested a shoulder against his. This time, he was quicker to loosen up and relax against you.

“All is forgiven.” you said sweetly, smiling a faint smile to yourself. A sigh of relief escaped him in what sounded like a gentle smile on his part. Neither of you moved, but neither of you moved away. You just sat there, listening to the soft melody of Mother Nature return in the silence of two beings so close you might consider them one. The breeze whistled past your ankles and huddled you closer together. The birds drew your eyes around before they found each other for a moment that lasted longer than it should have, and not long enough. The sun’s golden rays were your assistant in the need of an excuse as to why your faces were so warm, but neither of you ended up using it. You were much too caught up in the closeness of each other, and as Calderus started to doze off in a sickly-health-induced nap, you were more than happy to lay his head across your lap and listen to the quite rumbles of his snores while the unhurried heartbeats indicated a fondness that filled you with mirthful warmth as he rested.

Claderus Lore Theories and Observations

Spoilers for some of Calderus's gifts

I'm going to go into depth on the dragon statues and statuettes, and what I think they mean, along with data I've obtained from the official wiki

First: The Calderus statue on our farm and the dragon statue in the mines are NOT the same dragon/statue (I used to think they were the same and I'm sure I'm not alone)

Here is a side by side comparison, with the most notable difference being the horns. The mines statue has its horn arching nearly to the center of its head, whereas Calderus's barely reaches above his eye. Similarly, the snouts and front legs have a different thickness, and there's also a difference in eye shape

I also want to note that the little engravings on the pedestal look exactly the same, so I'm curious if they have any meaning

Another thing to note, and I'm not sure if this is intentional or an error on the devs' part, but different parts of the official wiki says different things about the mines statue

Under skill perks, the dragon statue in the mines is referred to as just that. If you go into the specific mining and combat pages however, you get something else (I only used the mining page for reference)

Here, the mines statue is referred to as the Calderus statue in the mines. I would understand if the devs want us to think this statue is Calderus as a sort of red herring, but the inconsistency of wiki claims makes me second guess that theory. Maybe they originally wanted us to think it was Calderus but forgot to update certain pages?

Regardless, one thing is certain: there is intentional mystery being shrouded over this dragon statue. If not by the incorrect data, then by the mere fact that this strange dragon isn't being brought to the player's attention in any significant way while playing the game

Eye Break

Now, lets compare the statues to the statuettes

On the left is the Calderus statuette, and on the right is the unknown one. If you look at the circled horns you'll see they match their respective statue above (taking the limited pixels into consideration). The cool-toned unknown statuette also reflects the coloring of the mines statue better (considering its in darker lighting too)

As you may have noticed, Calderus's statuette is a loved gift, while the other one is a hated gift. So clearly, there’s some bad blood of sort between Calderus and the dragon that this statuette represents. Whether it be because of something saddening or out of hatred, I don’t know. What I am sure of is that we will probably get more backstory from Calderus as he gets integrated into the game more, and I can’t wait for crumbs

What interests me most is that we have no lore, no hints about this other supposed dragon. Calderus never brings them up. Never brings up someone from his past (for now). The only mentions we have on this other dragon comes from Eiland's comments on the unknown statuette

One thing that intrigues me about this line is the pluralization of "dragon statues". This implies their are other dragon statues of Calderus in Mistria (that we haven't seen) OR that there are other dragons who aren't Calderus (or he's referring to the countless Calderus statuettes you can find). Regardless, this dragon statuette is different

That leaves the questions: Who is this dragon? What is their history with Calderus? With Mistria? Will we get more lore on them? (I think so)

As always folks, continue to romance that dragon <3

[skellseerwriting]

My sister just brought up a good point

presuming the game enables you to have children with your spouse (which I think it does), what will happen if you have children with Calderus?

like, will they be part-dragon? Will they have dragonish features? Can they use magic?

I have so many questions

[wannabeavocaloidmystery]

I'm so sorry, I'm in year two, he still be sleeping, (sometimes he is awake and says something, yet it's rare.)

DUDE IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS ALREADY! I'M GETTING SAD :((

please talk to me again sir

Where they love to kiss you Headcanons

Fields of Mistria Bachelors x Gn!Reader

(+Calderus & Olric!)

Content warning: none, all sfw and fluffy kisses here <3

Ryis:

Your hands. Literally anywhere on your hands

He’s a carpenter so he has a fond appreciation for all the wonderful things they can do, and is always mesmerized by all the hard work you manage to do with yours

bonus points for more calluses! Gotta keep that farm in tip top shape somehow :)

He’ll also give you plenty of kisses on the cheek. It’s his sweet way of saying hello. Whenever you feel his arm casually drape over your shoulder out of nowhere, expect it to happen

Hayden:

On top of your head

He’s a big guy ok. Chances are he’s taller than you and can easily kiss you there. If he’s not tall enough, then he settles for behind the ear or on the shoulder

basically anywhere he can reach when he gives you a big warm hug from behind + snuggling his face between your neck and shoulder

Like Ryis, he also loves kissing you on the cheek. Just a frequent form of affection along with some regular ol’ kisses

Balor:

The knuckles of your hand

may not seem too different from Ryis, but Balor does it very formally and very romantically, bowing at the waist and holding your hand while he kisses your knuckle

he loves to kiss your neck too. Especially if it makes you flustered

overall he’s just very passionate when he kisses you. Very methodical. He always seems to know what he’s doing and always seems to know exactly how it will make you react

Eiland:

on your forehead or nose

He’s very formal, despite liking to dig in the dirt, so he likes to keep things light when you’re out in public. Not a fan of pda except when it’s appropriate, like holding hands and the lighthearted face kisses <3

blushed really hard the first time you kissed him on the lips (this man couldn't initiate if his life depended on it) and he stutteringly compared it to a marble statue bust’s mouth

only lets you kiss him when you’re in private (though he secretly looks forward it)

March:

Hard to tell because he’s averse to kisses at first

you had to build up to affection by holding hands, and then it eventually evolved into him kissing your palm or your wrist (and he’s obviously blushing the whole time) but he doesn’t do it often

Even when he eventually works up to the point and the courage to kiss you square on the lips, he still gets deniably flustered about it so he rarely does it

when he does though, it’s during those rare, vulnerable moments, and you can rest assured knowing he’s putting all of his love and effort into it

Olric:

On the bicep 💪

He loves complimenting how strong you are or how strong you’ve gotten from your work on the farm, so he loves asking you to flex for him and then presses silly little kisses up your bicep in a form of praise

He may be extroverted, but he’s also a very sweet guy, so when it comes to your face he likes kissing the corner of your jaw

his second favorite part with that is then getting to quietly compliment or praise you in the ear about something he’s very proud of about you

Calderus: (either form)

On your horns you don’t have horns

dragons press “kisses” against each other’s horns as a sign of affection and trust, but since you don’t have any he settles for kissing your ears (or fake horns if you have them as cosmetics). With that knowledge, please please please kiss him on his horns

Due to cultural/anatomy differences, dragons just have different places that are normal to them to kiss

one such place is the back, but that’s hard to do from certain angles with you, so if you lay down on your stomach and let him pepper kisses on your spine and in between your shoulder blades he would absolutely love it

Oh hell yeah! Calderus! I've been playing fields of mistria and he's wonderful but I've been holding back on connecting to him because we didn't know all of his story yet (so what if he was evil? :o.) But after the last update we know more and yeah, I really need to reach out to him

Also have you seen Nivara of Sun Haven?

(I bought the game before knowing the company was shitty and refusing to credit their artists. I don't recommend buying the game, but the dragon designs are gorgeous)

Hi friend!

Questions!

Is there a pc character/deity in a fandom you're not part of, that you've only seen in fanart or whatever, that you're like "I would so worship you!"

Do you celebrate any PC deity related holidays?

If you were a potato, how would you be prepared?

I've been seeing fanart of this dragon character from Fields of Mistria or whatever it's called and yeah. Dragons are my weakness.

I do celebrate the holidays from Elder Scrolls! Mostly the summoning days, but also all the others, but not super consistently lol.

Hmmm. Specifically this one recipe for double baked potatoes from the first Elder Scrolls cookbook

More proof that the Priestess is the mines dragon (or at least is a dragon)

spoilers for human Calderus + his home

There are multiple physical indicators that she's a dragon

Like Calderus, she seems to have silver markings on the small patch of skin on her arm (the rest potentially being covered up)

Second, and this is the strongest indicator to me, is that she has these small patches (scales) under her eyes that Calderus also has. No other characters have these

They also have a braid draped over their left shoulder lol

Not directly tied to the Priestess, but Calderus's home (left) is designed the exact same as the west ruins (right)

like if it weren't for a few differences (including terrain) they'd be identical

The photo on the left is the front yard of Calderus's home, by the way, so this indicates the west ruins area is the home for the other dragon, which just so happens to be right by the mines, where the Priestess is

Oh and here's farther up for Calderus's yard:

the only difference here is that the west ruins has a singular statue (instead of two) right up against the wall

One more thing that interests me is that in some new dialogue Calderus mentioned "dragon priestesses" and said something about them that meant they served/helped dragons or something. If the Priestess we see is a dragon, then I wonder how that correlates?

Ahhh he blushes >////<

and yes I'm giving him a star brooch
