#Torvar Skyrim

[nooklingposting]

I personally think Farkas has a crush on the player. Everyone just sees him as an ice-brain, not smart enough, and have done his whole life. Even some of the newer companions can be heard talking back to him. But we don't.

It seems like we're special from the start, he's nicer to us than any of other the companions right from day one. We see a softer, friendlier side to Farkas (eg: 'I hope I didn't scare ya' being his first concern after being surrounded by enemies) - we never really hear him be so friendly to the other members (think the training conversation with Torvar), and that's why we fall for him.

I think he'd be shocked if we chose to marry him. Yeah he shoots his shot, but like I said, he's used to everyone seeing him as an oaf. Then here we are, the Harbinger, showing him the same kindness and emotional investment that he gave us in the beginning. He deserves it.

I just think he's neat.

Continued from this Taliesin: *frowning the more Vilkas, Ria, Farkas, and Aela continuously try to talk to Allora, along with Torvar, Athis making side commentary about her outfit; Njada constantly trying to degrade her; Skjor making snarky commentary and agitating the young woman more. He leans over to Allora to murmur in her ear* I do believe these are the nastiest friends of yours I've ever met. Do tell me your standards aren't always so low? Allora: *used to all the bullshit Skjor and Njada are spewing, desperately trying to remain professional and polite with the quad, and ignoring Athis and Torvar* I picked you up into my group, didn't I? Taliesin: Well, ouch. That was unnecessarily true. Good to know you're sense of character is at an all time high, seeing as you did still take me in regardless. Allora: *snickers, leaning close and bumping her arm against his softly* Who could say no to a pretty face like yours? Taliesin: Indeed, I am quite handsome. Thank you for noticing. Allora: We love the confidence, Tally. *sips her mead with juniper, sighing afterwards* At least no one has asked me to- Torvar: H- *hic* hey, why don't you give us *hic* a song? Can't be a party without a song! Allora: -aaand I spoke too soon. Taliesin: *remembering the last time she sang to a dragon, giving her a terrified glance* What? Sing? Here?! You'll bring the entire building down! Allora: *snorts and laughs, covering her mouth and setting down her drink* Haha- hahaha! N-no, haha! That only h-happens when I use my magick, hahah. We're fine. I've sung at a lot of taverns, don't worry. You're silly. *to Torvar and the others whose attention were caught* Sorry, but I didn't bring my lute with me. Ria: We have plenty of instruments here! Feel free to borrow one. Taliesin: *under his breath* Are all of them so daft they can't understand not wanting to do something? Vilkas: *sneers* We didn't ask for your opinion, knife ears. Aela: If Allora didn't want to perform, she would let us know. Did you not want to? Allora: *gives a firm stare at Vilkas before tugging on her under fur armor sleeves nervously* Well... I don't really know what to perform tonight. And I promised Bren I wouldn't stay too late. Njada: I doubt your performances are much of anything anyways. I'm tired of hearing those two raving about your singing. Allora: Congratulations, I'm not singing. You win. Are you happy about it? *rolls her eyes* Torvar: Ni- *hic* nice going, Njada. Athis: I still say we could be spending our time doing something better like training. None of these festivities are helping us muster our strength. Farkas: Rest days are just as important as doing the work outs. Train too hard and you will be too exhausted to fight. Just take it easy for today. Njada: Yeah, I'm sure Allora knows all about taking it easy. Allora: *too tired for this shit* You wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid. *sips her drink, uncaring* Taliesin: *guffaws as the table has various spit takes or choking noises*

More stuff with these idiots (a continuation of this post).

(also, I MIGHT have disregarded their canonical weapons. But let's face it, I also disregarded a lot of other canonical details, soooo...)

[bigvampa]

Minor video game blood warning (just a few splashes of it, nothing insane)

Anyways, is it normal for the companions I killed to come back to life and haunt me for what I've done or...?

[mujinzzzzz]

i have over 2,000 hours in skyrim and im just now learning you can tell all of the companions about skjor's death ??? have you always been able to ??? this is sad hello ??

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

Torvar: I know what I'm going to be for the Witches Festival — drunk!

[somemaycallthisjunk]

Torvar, waking up from a 3 day coma after going on an absolute rager, so out of it that the Companions thought he was dead and asked the Jarl to break the news to Eochaid: Hey guys, what'd I miss

He's not even the first Companion to come back from the dead in Eochaid's save

Some doodles! ^^ I had a lot of fun with these. 

All TES V Skyrim-based. Some OCs, some NPCs. 

[motherofcats666]

My girl accidentally started a brawl with the Companions. I found Farkas and Torvar walking to Bthardamz so I decided to watch and see what they did, and then this happened. OOPS 🤣 Sorry Farkas... And WHERE DID ATHIS COME FROM!? Also you can hear her speak in this one.

TESSDE AU (+ Lucia :]) (Taliesin part 6!!)

Kodlak shakily walks up the stairs, huffing and wheezing, but eyes determined to go out with a fight. Lucia is behind him, terrified, but hears her papa and wants to know he's all right.

It's not looking great. Ria is fighting two on one, Njada is heavily injured, Torvar is downed, and Athis is struggling against one. Taliesin is trying to assist Ria, but is pinned, Berwhale just an inch too far to grab.

Kodlak: *lets out a bellowing roar as he charges in, slicing the two on Ria before bodily shoving the one pinning Taliesin. He takes several hits, but seemingly does not care as he carves right back into them*

Taliesin: *deeply breathing and rolls to grab Berwhale, seeing Lucia poking out from the stairs* Bumblebee! Hide!

Silver Hand 4: RAH!! *stabs their blade into Taliesin's shoulder blade before being punched away by Njada*

Lucia: PAPA!!

Taliesin: *woozy and bleeding heavily, but forces himself to his feet and shoulder checks a Silver Hand off Athis* I SAID HIDE!

Kodlak: *splutters and coughs up blood, managing to cut the cheek of one more Silver Hand before he's buried with blades, falling to the ground*

Njada: NO! KODLAK!

Silver Hand 2: We've compeleted our task! Fall back!

Silver Hands rush out of Jorrvaskr, dodging past anymore attacks and running for their lives, very few remaining from when they first entered.

Taliesin: *huffs and puffs, collapsing to his knees as he gulps in air, looking to Kodlak's body with a grimace* ...Darn it...

Lucia: *runs to him and hugs him tightly, crying* Papa! I'm sorry! I'm so- so sorry!!

Taliesin: *sighs, wincing at her tight grip but holds her back just as strongly, terrified he almost lost her tonight* We're all right, Lucia... we'll be okay... Gods...

Yeah they probably get along just FINE

tysm for the wip folder tag! as for yours i simply must inquire about "skyrim explode :[" . such an intriguing name

I burst out laughing when I saw this, because I keep forgetting that I called it that and it gets me every time. Nothing is funnier to me than a well placed ":["

"skyrim explode :[" is a planning doc I have for a burning need within me to make a Skyrim/Fallout crossover. Hence the explode. Now here's the thing. I love Skyrim, I LOVE apocalypse AUs, and I love the IDEA of Fallout. One day I'll get into it, but I never really have because I just hate playing with gun mechanics. So, in calling it a crossover, I mean I desperately want to write a fic set in Skyrim that is wearing the skin of Fallout.

I just think it's such a fun idea! The frozen wastelands, the Imperials trying to whip the country into some kind of shape, the Storm cloaks fighting for what little culture has survived through the apocalypse. What do the holds look like now? Perhaps the charus have come to the surface, like mutants in Fallout. The Thalmor could be some high-tech authoritarion force, pulling the strings behind the scenes. UGH the POSSIBILITIES.

Unfortunately, I bear the curse of never being able to be normal about something, so just making one-shots is hard for me. I've played with a few ideas-- something with the Companions, maybe? Ria and Torvar have a soft spot in my heart, and I like the idea of these werewolves becoming mutant themselves to try and protect people in the badlands, and potentially being shunned for it. OR something with Teldryn and Sissel, because old guy/young girl travelling companions in an apocalypse is an entirely new, cool, and original idea I came up with just now. OR Legate Rikke or Erandur, just because I love them, and an Imperial Legate and priest of Mara could be super cool perspectives through which to see the world of this AU.

I'm so excited about the concept, but I haven't the foggiest clue what I'd do with it. So let me know if any of those intrigue you, and if you'd like to see me write it. Look, I just kinda want an excuse to draw these characters with grenades.

I just think they're neat!

I am sending you Athis for the meme!

First impression: "We are all Ashlanders now, brother" he says if you're playing a Dunmer. It was actually a very emotional moment for me. I'd put off playing Skyrim for two years just because I hated learning about the Red Year and what had happened to my beloved Morrowind.

Impression now: On the one hand, he's acerbic and rude, but he's also completely sincere in the lifestyle he's taken up. He'll talk with sincerity about honour and Skyrim and the Companions' ideals while also taking the mickey out of them a bit.

Favorite moment - Even an elf can be born with the heart of a Nord," Skjor said when I joined. I think he meant it as a compliment."

Idea for a story - Athis and the others find out the truth about the Circle. See next item.

Unpopular opinion - I love them but The members of the Circle are incredibly selfish and have fucked up the Companions, creating this secret tier system of werewolf and non-werewolf. I think this is a separate issue from the ones grappled with in game: the morality of being a werewolf and the ultimate destiny of werewolves. Athis and his fellows are being duped. Athis has this conversation with Torvar

Torvar: "One day, when you and I are on the Circle, we can change the way things are run around here." Athis: "I don't think that's how the Circle works." Torvar: "They're lording it over us all the time, though." Athis: "Young warriors are smart to listen to older ones. They've lived."

Imagine him learning that the Circle isn't for honoured older warriors who have embodied the Companions' greatest virtues. It's a club you can't enter without being a werewolf. I think there's potential for real anger from the rank and file.

Favorite relationship - Torvar as seen above

Favorite headcanon - He complains about the "atmosphere" in Eastmarch. I always took that as a sly remark on Ulfric and co. rather than just a remark about ash "I avoid going to Eastmarch if I can. Something in the air... I think it's just too close to the border." So I think of him as having lived in Windhelm once.

The Companions in the training yard, doing team exercises:

Artanis: Are you upset you don’t get to be on the same team as Vilkas?

Farkas: Have you ever played a game with Vilkas?

Artanis: No . . .

Farkas: Have you ever been trapped in a cage with a cave bear?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the yard:

Vilkas, chasing Torvar and Athis: I SAID FASTER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD “FASTER” MEANS? IT MEANS MORE FAST!
