Ek em Sólhrafn svá sem Þráhrafn. Vætti vitrir, falinn í líki manna. Festhugi ok skáldsál með sýnir í bylgjum ok hugsanir í straumum, ljósfanga hið hversdagslega ok tímans gangr. Eg er Solravn så vel som Lengselravn, vise skapningar, falne i menneskeham. Fast hug og diktarsjel med syn i bølgjer og tankar i straumar, lysfangar det kvardagslege og tidens gang.

3. When they are having a fight, what is it about and how do they deal with it? for Shodara and Bryn

&

4. Their favorite physical feature on each other? for Shoda and Farkas

💛 from @vilkas

Thanks for the ask Kel!!

———

So Shodara and Brynjolf tend to get into arguments when it comes to handling jobs, such as who to send out; if they agree to send out anyone in the first place.

Brynjolf prefers to take larger jobs because he believes it’d bring glory to the thieves guild, and Shodara actually used to agree. They would often encourage the other members to work together on large heists.

But after snow veil, she became much more up-tight about taking jobs, especially if one of the Nightingales is involved. The possibility of death became…much more real to her.

In one particular instance; Shodara practically broke down saying “Because you don’t die twice, Brynjolf!”

———

So I kinda hinted at it in the Dustman’s Cairn chapter. Their favorite feature of each other is their eyes.

Shoda finds Farkas’ calming because they stand out from the rest of his face, especially if he’s wearing his face paint.

Farkas really just finds Shoda’s eyes to be pretty, no other special reason beyond that. Though he does think they look particularly pretty when she wears her scarf since her eyes match the fabric.

[frodo-baggins]

Can I just say…. one of my favorite visual moments in LOTR is when they’re in Rivendell and Frodo and Sam walk by a tree and the leaf gently catches in Frodo’s hair 🥺 I think about that a lot and I didn’t know who else to share my love of it with and you were the first person to come to mind

oh that’s hands down one of my fav shots of frodo in the entire trilogy. like it’s so soft and dreamy. and the lighting is so warm and autumnal. it’s just so gorgeously done 😩😭 and honestly im so honoured you thought of me too 🥺

[reachfolk]

HOWDY! We’re mutuals now! Anyway!!

Firien is my main OC, my Bosmer Last Dragonborn! She’s very angry as a result of trauma but it slowly working on healing! She’s snarky and sassy and has a lot of spark in her. She enjoys sparring, botany, and lighting things on fire. She’s 26 years old currently and she left Valenwood at 15 (if I remember correctly) and slowly made her way through Tamriel to Skyrim. She’s also a Companion and has a white raven friend named Croak! Oh and she hates being the LDB. Not sure if this is relevant?? (or very obvious by my blog lol) but I paired her with Farkas!

Tahir is Firien’s BFF, and a Redguard born into nobility. He found the noble life suffocating and left Hammerfell behind to pursue adventure and met Firien in Helgen, and they’ve been together ever since! He’s more invested in the Companions than she is, and eventually becomes Harbinger. He’s cocky and funny and pretty easy-going about most things. He’s also very promiscuous, confident, and vain. He enjoys the finer things in life and just likes to have a dang good time. He eventually ends up with Vilkas because the best friends dating brothers trope is hilarious to me.

And now I wanna hear about yours!

💛 from @korvanjund

ask game: send me an ask telling me about one of your oc's and i'll tell you how i think they'd get along with my own oc's

aaa hi friend !! ok first off i absolutely adore both ur oc's and i think my main girl alexandria would too ❤ (which is not surprising lol, she's a very agreeable person).

when it comes to firien, i think alexi would be able to handle her really well. even though alexi is only a year older, she would see a little bit of her younger sister in firien (due to their hotheaded nature), and she really likes people like that!! she'd see firien as interesting and fun, and i think her cheery demeanor would balance out firien's more rough (?) vibe, if that makes sense lol. alexi is usually in a playful mood and doesn't take snarky or sarcastic comments very seriously, so she'd just hit back with more banter and keep the tone light and breezy. whether firien finds that irritating as shit or endearing is up to you, it makes no difference to alexi who firmly made up her mind that she likes firien lmao. and if, for whatever reason, firien is having a particularly rough day, alexi knows when to put down her goofy attitude and go all Big Sister mode. she's a good listener and good with conflict mediation in general (thanks to ✨ family trauma ✨) so she'd offer whatever comfort she can.

also, the two def. share some interests so that's a plus! alexi always loves a friendly duel, and as an alchemist, she'd also be interested in botany. she's never been to valenwood, so she'd be SO interested in learning about the flora there. she's a chaotic little shit, so she definitely also has a pyromaniac streak in her lol. you have good ol' sybille stentor to thank for lighting that spark, and alexi would share that dumb story to try to get a laugh out of firien (hell, she'd make it her personal mission to get firien to crack up as many times as possible. she has an endless supply of dumb stories and awful puns)

as for tahir, i feel like he and alexi would get along right away thanks to their somewhat similar backstories! alexi isn't a noble per se and her mixed ancestry kind of muddled how people viewed her, but she is a silver-blood and that's about as close as you can get, ykwim? i think they definitely have an appreciation for the freedom that living on the road gives because they've experienced how suffocating and draining life as a noble can be.

they also have pretty similar personalities, so i think they'd mesh well! alexi is a super playful and loves to goof off, and back when she was living as a noblewoman it was seen as unseemly and inappropriate, but i feel like tahir would enjoy it or even play along. i can definitely see the two of them swapping funny stories and playful banter late into the night over a mug of ale and absolutely cracking up together.

i will say, alexi is also a bit of a prankster, and i feel like poor tahir would be the victim at times, especially after he becomes harbinger. my girlie just finds it too tempting to fuck with authority figures 💀 she would genuinely like him so she'd never go too far, and she'd absolutely apologize if she ever crosses a line. but, yk, she definitely at one point mixed in netch jelly with his fine wine and laughed her ass off when his romantic date night with vilkas ended with both of them toppling over in paralysis for a hot sec. for what it's worth, she's a good sport if he ever decides to mess with her in return. hell, she'd take it as a compliment lol

Day 8 for @korvanjund/@solravn (I don't know if your side blog is still shadow banned so I thought I would tag both.) The prompt today was warmth. This was slightly more difficult but still alot of fun. Enjoy.

The blizzard struck out of nowhere, with little warning. The winds howled, sending driving snow that blinded them and blocked their way. 

 "We must find shelter!" Farkas yelled at Azirina as they struggled through the ever increasing snow drifts. Already, they reached her hips, pulling her down as she walked. He saw her eyes glow in the struggling torch light as she looked before pointing just off to their right. 

 "There is a cave over there." She called back. He nodded, following her as she waded through the snow and into the cave. The wind howled, echoing around the natural shelter, but no snow had made it inside. 

 "I'll get a fire going." He said as he shook snow from his head. 

 "This one will ensure we are alone." She nodded, walking slightly deeper into the small cave. It was just big enough for him to stand in, though it didn't seem very deep. As he started a fire, he saw her coming back. 

 "Nothing?" He asked. 

 "The cave has been abandoned from the looks of things. Nothing has lived here for a long time." She replied, wrapping her arms around herself and shivering. Even with her thick cloak on and fur, the cold had managed to seep into her bones. 

 "Here, come warm yourself by the fire." He said, taking her hand and pulling her closer. He could feel how cold she was simply by taking her hand. She shivered, even whilst standing by the fire. The warmth of the flames causing the snow on her clothing to melt.

 "Looks like we'll have to camp here for the night until this storm blows over." He sighed as he looked out before coming back into the slight warmth. 

 "At least it is dry, yes?" She asked him, shuddering again. 

 "Still cold?" He asked her, watching as she nodded. "Come here." He pulled her closer, pulling a bed roll from his pack. He lay it on the ground before making her sit. 

 "What are you….?" She began to ask when he waved his hand.

 "Keeping us both warm." He said as he wrapped the covers from the bed roll around them before holding her in his arms. He could feel the soft fur of her body against his skin, giving off a very faint heat.

 "Thank you." She said softly as she wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his neck. She could feel the warmth radiating from him, like a roaring fire or the sun. She pressed closer, chasing that warmth as he held her. 

 The blizzard continued to howl on through the night and well into the next day. Not that it mattered. In the shelter of the cave, they fell asleep in each other's arms, craving the warmth the other provided. That included warm feelings as well.

Hmmmmm what about Astrid for the character bingo?

💛 from @vilkas

I don’t feel too strongly about Astrid, but I really do think she should’ve been used more.

I really like how when you meet her she’s almost like a mentor, so I think there should’ve been more times to talk to her as the player becomes the listener and show how she got lead to ratting them out to the Pennitus Oculotus.

Thanks for the ask, Kel!!

[sherryzade]

@solravn

why don’t you read a poem about the sunrise written 5 centuries ago and contemplate the fact that we have been writing about the same sun for centuries upon centuries and then maybe you’ll calm down

[ask-demon-princess-astarte]

3, 6, 9, 12 and a question of your choice for Azirina and anyone else you want to answer for!

Thank you for this. Sorry it took so long to reply to it though. 😅 Let's have some fun with this. For @solravn The characters involved are Azirina and Shi.

1.Who makes up your family?  How close are you to them? (Question of choice)

3.What is your favorite childhood memory?

So, starting with Azirina, her family consists of her husband Farkas, her two adopted children Lucia and Blaise, Lucia's pet fox and Meeko. And she is close to all of them, choosing to spend every little moment she can with them.

In her evil storyline, her family (if he can be considered that) is restricted to Molag. Although, she also considers Brak'aath and Vulon as Family. But she isn't really close to any of them.

For Shi, her actual family disowned her after the death of her grandfather. So, the ones she considers family are Ryotaro Dojima and his daughter Nanako. He was the first one to actual show he cared about her, checking on her as she worked when she first joined the force. Eventually, when she met her partner, she considered him family to.

But, after the events of the game, she was left heartbroken but still called him family.

6. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

For Azirina, her favourite childhood memory is the first time she watched the stars with her parents. Whilst she doesn't fully recall everything, she can still recall seeing her mother and father smiling at her, holding her close as the stars glittered above them.

For Shi, her favourite childhood memory is a trip to the local festival in her hometown. Her parents took her, her mother helping her dress in a yukata. It was the last time they were together before her parents were killed.

9. Are you a spiritual person?  If yes, what do you practice?

For Azirina, one of the hardest things she ever had to do was fight Miraak. Given her ties to a Daedric Prince, she understands him wanting to escape Apocrypha, and she wants to help him. So seeing him being killed before her, knowing she failed, was the hardest moment of her life.

For Shi, the hardest moment was learning that her baby hadn't survived an attack on her. She was attacked because of who she had fallen in love with, and was carrying their child. An attack rendered her unable to carry children after losing the baby, and she has never fully recovered from it.

Neither character is actually a spiritual person. Shi believes in science and fact. The closest Azirina gets to a spiritual practice is her belief in the universe granting you what you desire, provided you don't ask alot, and are willing to work for it.

12. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? (on vacation or permanently!)

For Azirina, she would love to return to Elsweyr, especially with her family. She cannot show them her village, but she can show them about the Khajiit homeland.

For Shi, the only place she wants to go is to somewhere where she could have her child, hold him in her arms and enjoy a life with him. But that, sadly will never happen.

Got tagged in Snippet Sunday by @vilkas !

If anyone wants to join, feel free to! And feel free to tag me as well!

So..I still don’t have a title for this chapter. It’s literally named this in my doc, lol.

Anyways have some worldbuilding!

——————

Shoda shook her head and moved to the side just slightly so Vilkas could get his horse on the path. Then she started to walk alongside him. Vilkas suddenly cleared his throat, which startled Shoda.

“Is something the matter?”

“Ah…the cold is messing with my throat. Unfortunately, while Lycanthropy can prevent us from getting major diseases, it seems to do nothing against common colds…”

“And wounds infected from silver…”

“Aye…it burns us like a flaming blade…and makes it difficult for our wounds to heal, even with magic.”

“But it seemed like I was able to heal Farkas’ wounds easier when he was transformed than right before he did. Is there a reason for that?”

“When we transform, our body's composition changes just slightly. All living things are made of carbon; I’m sure you know that. But for lycanthropes, the way the carbon is arranged changes. So while our body is changing, it can be difficult to use magic since it depends on the composition of our bodies staying the same. I’d reckon Farkas was trying to hold off his transformation for as long as he could, which would be why you had such difficulty healing him in the moments before.”

🌹!

💛 @vilkas

Ask and ye shall receive! Thanks as always, Kel!

I’m not sure what this chapter will be called yet, but Shoda and Vilkas are traveling together.

—————

Shoda shook her head and cleared her throat.

“Vilkas, where do we need to go to get the medicine?”

“Who is ‘we’ youngblood…you’re staying here.”

“Vilkas, please, I insist.”

“And what will happen then, huh? What do you hope to gain by going along?”

“I don’t want someone who’s protected me to bloody die, Vilkas! If I hadn’t gotten stuck in the Cairn, Farkas wouldn’t have had to do what he did to protect me, and he more than likely wouldn’t have gotten as hurt as he did, so I am partially responsible for his state of being! So let me help you to make sure he doesn’t die, dammit!”

Shoda had her fists clenched at that point, nearly having broken out into a cold sweat. Her eyes bolted between Ria, Vilkas, and whatever else they bolted to. She felt her chest tighten when Vilkas sighed in an irritated manner.

“And I thought my brother jumped too quickly…Fine. You can come along, but do not get in the way of things. Get your weapon from Eorlund and meet me at the gate. If you take too long, I will leave regardless.”

Vilkas pushed his way past Shoda, and Torvar as he exited Jorrvaskr. Torvar looked at Shoda and Ria, confused. Ria quickly made a slashing hand across her neck with her hand, with a discomforted face. He knew what it meant and immediately went to train at a dummy.

———

Vilkas is protective of his brother and others, to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@vilkas

[knightfuryvawannabee]

😬 for Shodara?

💛 @vilkas

Thanks for the ask, Kel!! @vilkas

“Draw your OC in something they would never wear.”

————

“I don’t see how you’re able to wear these damned things, Shoda…”

“Well for one, I don’t wear mine so tight that I nearly asphyxiate myself…now will you please hold still so I can finish undoing these hooks?”

Shodara wouldn’t ever wear a corset, at least for long periods of time, because the few times she did, she tightened them too much.
