Ok, but Shepard in a Fallout AU where, as a soldier before the bombs fell, she dies and is brought back to life by an Institute-like org -coughcerberuscough- but she's a synth and doesn't even know it.

oh shit I guess we're doing pinned posts now
hi I'm Rory/Yans and I don't know what video games are
AO3 // Pillowfort (18+)
Gardening & woodworking sideblog: @garryoakenthusiast
Discord: yansurnummu
ESO: hentus-yansurnummu (PC-NA), yansurnummu (Xbox)
I mostly post about Elder Scrolls with a focus on ESO but sometimes throw in other stuff for flavour. This usually includes Critical Role, Baldur's Gate, Destiny, cool art I like, and probably others once in a while. I occasionally post nsfw art & fic that will be tagged #yans after dark.
Tags:
my art

Fic Archive:
ESO:
To the Horrors I've Known and Loved (2023 - Ongoing)
Like Winter (2022 - Ongoing)
A Variation of the Truth (Completed; 2022)
Oblivion:
The Blood of the Coven (Completed; 2016)
Destiny 2:
Destiny Oneshots Collection (2018 - 2021)
My ESO OCs:
Dralvayn "Drals" Arano (he/him)
Dunmer // Arcanist
My cranky old wizard. To the Horrors I've Known and Loved is his story, where he gets put through the horrors and learns the power of friendship.
He's gay/demisexual but he doesn't discover that until partway through the fic, and even then he has a ways to go before he allows himself nice things. He becomes hopelessly in love with Azandar, and later on has a bit of a thing with Zerith-var. He starts out kind of an asshole but he will get better. Probably. He's my little chew toy :)
(tag)
Asha-ammu Kaushad (they/them)
Dunmer (Ashlander) // Nightblade // Vampire
Asha is my precious little princess who I would die for. Like Winter is sort of a character study, following the progression of their relationship with Donobhan, and told from his point of view.
They're nonbinary & transfem, and very shy and a little awkward. They love fungi & dwemer architecture.
(tag)
Donobhan Ravenfriend (he/him)
Reachman // Warden
Don is my sweet boy. He was originally of the Spiritblood clan but left when he couldn't go through with the Vateshran's Rites. He loves nature and has a lot of wisdom about the ways of the world & life & death but is also kind of an orange cat and sometimes his head is empty. His best friend is his guardian wolf, Calahan.
(tag)
Sadryn Favel (he/him?)
Dunmer // Warden // Werewolf
Sadryn is a hot bisexual mess whose favourite pastime is being a public nuisance. He's like 22 and will never die. He has a twin sister, Serysi, who belongs to @tilliphont. She's a grumpy butch and the two of them would die for each other but will probably kill each other first before that happens. The two of them were born to a Telvanni family that expected a lot from them and they ran away from that bad situation at some point. They also have a pet bear named Sujamma.
If he stopped for longer than 2 seconds to look inwards he would probably have a weird gender but alas he is going 5000mph and has a substance abuse problem so we may never know. He's got a big ol crush on Ember but she thinks he's stinky.
(tag)
Auredil (he/him)
Altmer // Templar // Vestige
Auredil is my canon Vestige and gay disaster. A Variation of the Truth is sort of a tragedy that alternates between his point of view (past) and Lindir's point of view (present). Auredil was once a captain in Queen Ayrenn's navy (First Auridon Marines) where he fell in love with Prince Naemon and he and Kinlady Estre became good friends. After the events of Auridon, Naemon shuts Auredil out which drives him to make a pact with Meridia while in a bad mental state, thus being granted his Templar abilities and the rest of the main quest being set in motion.
(tag)
Lilanwe (she/her)
Altmer // Necromancer
Lily is trans & bisexual and could be a villain if she was just like 12% more evil. But instead she chose to be niceys and is just kind of a little morally dubious sometimes.
She was once a promising mage and scholar who, after her brother Auredil's disappearance, fell in with the wrong crowd and turned to necromancy and the Worm Cult. They meet again on opposite sides of the conflict, and Auredil convinces her to leave the cult behind and help him fix everything. She has a penchant for being headstrong and righteous, and after the Planemeld and Auredil's (supposed) death, she goes on a revenge quest to eradicate the remains of the Worm Cult. As a treat.
(tag)
Coralantar (he/they)
Maormer // Sorcerer
Coral was a powerful storm witch who joined up with the Sea Vipers when he was young and wanted to get away from Pyandonea, but quickly recognised the atrocities the raiders were committing. After meeting Auredil in Khenarthi's Roost, he turns on the Vipers from the shadows and eventually works with the Eyes of the Queen as a spy. The Desert is a Memory of the Ocean is sort of an unfinished sequel/spinoff of Auredil's fic, in which Coralantar and @tilliphont's Galen find themselves lost in Elsweyr in the aftermath of defeating Molag Bal and have to work together to piece together what happened.

Found a new song and screaming because I can't animate the cool ass music video I'm imagining in my head, like,,

There's a whole anime-ified sequence that I can picture. And I can't DO anything with it. What is this absolute agony I'm experiencing, why am I experiencing it, I did nothing to deserve this
#not skeleton stuff#rambles#hhhhhhhhhh#apoc why must you do this to me#tsams why do you give me these brain worms#both of you go to the corner and think about what you did#I'm gonna be SUFFERING now#RARARARRARARARAR#BITES BITES SNARL GROWL HISS THROWS HANDS#/joke post#/joking tags

I need to talk about the skill it takes for a writer to do that thing where they're describing something unfamiliar to the POV character while we the readers get to sit there in slowly dawning horror as we realize we 1) know what that thing is and 2) know how bad it is. it's not something you get in visual media but, if done well, it can be just as horrifying as realizing "the call is coming from inside the house".
#yes I realize that's like the worst example of horror movie tropes I know#but I'm drawing a blank#should be noted I don't often get the thrill of reading this sort of writing because...well I'm a wimp#I dislike thrillers and horror in general#the closest I get is the odd post-apoc fiction (which is what I'm reading today that brought this up)#the POV character is a kid who until the story starts has never ventured far beyond his home#he knows a lot of stuff about The Old World from books but he doesn't know what most of that stuff LOOKS like#which leads to moments where I'm squinting and trying to figure out what he's looking at#(thankfully so far this hasn't resulted in any truly horrific reveals but I have a feeling it's only a matter of time)#the unreliable narrator angle pairs REALLY well with this too#especially when they control what you see and know#but it takes skill to keep it from feeling like a cheat#(see: Jeff VanderMeer. maybe one day I'll be brave enough to finish the Southern Reach trilogy. maybe.)

"Only thing beyond here is Outlands. Endless wastes. Monsters. Mutants. Death." Shrike flicked the splinter he had carved into a toothpick last night at camp onto the ground. "If you want me and my rig to go any further with you...I want more." Shrike stood to his full height, shoulders back, hand on his belt, left hand close to his revolver. "I want a piece of whatever it is you're after out there. "You've been real secretive this whole time and I never asked questions but now...you gotta make it worth my potential death. If not...hope you enjoy walking."

For the record the retrofuturism tag is mostly for real world retro stuff that may (or may not) precisely fit the aesthetics of the Fallout/post-apoc genre so it's not a perfect system here but this is mostly an aesthetic/inspiration blog with once in a blue moon writing posts, so what can you do.
#considering a lot of post-apoc stuff was inspired by the American gas crisis of the 70s#as well as the Cold War of the 60s#and the Atomic Age of the 50s#and of course there's everything that has to do with WWII and the Great Depression and blah blah blah#look it's not a PERFECTLY PRECISE time period and aesthetic is aesthetic#I'm just here for cool pictures

I'm definitely going to downsize the account with the intent of eventually deleting it—Pinterest has been a thorn in my side for years. However, I do have some big collections of quotes, creative ideas, character face claims, and other things there that I feel are useful.
First collections to go will be the external links & resources since many are dead or weren't good to begin with. I will keep those up until end of this poll (week) for anyone who wants to fave them.
Collections on the immediate chopping block are linked below!
Also, in part, I would like to remove as much art from my inactive accounts as possible. I know I can't stop Big AI from scraping Pinterest, but I can at least not leave a ton of unprotected (and often uncredited) stuff out in the open. It's simply a sentimental thing at this point.
Save whatever you want and support the artists if you can!
