It’s the head that I’ve been using from the start. I guess I just felt like it’s the most similar to my own head. lol Not quite, but good enough. I’m sticking to black/maybe very dark brown hair but I’ve been using a couple of different hairstyles. Now that we can change it, I’ll definitely change the hair style frequently. After all that’s just normal, why would she wear it the same way always?  With the make-up I might just change the intensity occasionally, a bit more make-up for evening look. Otherwise I am keeping the make-up very mild.

Oh, I didn’t think about companion reactions. I hope they won’t react to a hair updo as if my face had changed.  Lol Would be a bit illusion breaking.

Oh I see you updated your profile pic, Tav twin sister. :D

*giggles* Yes, it's always been my cannon Tav head too. The shape of it reminds me so much of my old Skyrim Dragonborn/Listener Beth. I've tried other races and heads but keep gravitating to #4. Initially, Anna (Tav) had black hair as well (2a) but in the last few playthroughs, months ago, I switched to a dark coffee brown color. Not sure which hair to go with when the full release drops. I keep flip-flopping around between 2a, 26b, and 16a. Looking forward to more make-up and other options too, how about you?

The fact we can change their looks later on will be a big relief. Once we get to the city, or maybe sooner, we can literally let our Tav's hair down or get a haircut. Do you think they'll put in companion reactions to changes in Tav's appearance?

Made Dammon my Dream Gardian and he's too powerful 😭💕 Hearing him say "I'll protect you" makes me swoon help-

Thanks to @csphire post =)

[underdark-dreams]

Thank you @effelants for the tag! 🖤

WIP Game

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! Tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Here's what I have going at the moment (my draft titles are so lazy, most of these are x Rolan):

New Management

Night Before

A Strand to Climb [ch4]

Take Care

Birds and the Bees

Wine and Company (x Dammon)

Mine

Feel free to ask me about any of these!

Oh shoot 7 people? Most everyone I know has been tagged already, but @forgeofthenine, @swordcreature, @cloverthebarbearian, @rolansrighthorn, @csphire, and @lemonsrosesandlavender consider yourself tagged if you have any WIPs you are willing to share sneak peeks of! Or ignore this, and just know that I love you!

[indigo-fyre]

@csphire Change of discussion from yesterday, something much more, uh, lighthearted??

After nearly a decade I finally did a Solasmance playthrough

I thought the Solavellan Hell posts were just jokes, I was not expecting to get this deep into it

[strangedime]

this is for @csphire

just wanted to share this with as much people as possible

Edit: for y'all asking, this is from Lorroakan's scene when confronting him with Aylin - I used the Ring of Metamorph mod to replace him with Gale

[killerpancakeburger]

Was writing a Dammon x Reader fic inspired by @forgeofthenine HCs, decided to look up @csphire post about Dammon's forge for accuracy, then ended up checking if @swordcreature had posted new HCs, and THEN ended up listening to Rugan's new lines posted by @my-favourite-zhent and my mind got completely derailed by that beautiful bastard.

Music Shuffle

I was tagged by @skasha. Thanks boo these are always fun

Rules: Set your entire music library on shuffle and list the first 10 tracks that pop up, then tag 10 people. (I am going to roll a die to see which playlist on youtube to use and then shuffle the playlist for each once since I... don’t really have a music library that is all in one spot.)

1) “Sway” by Julie London.

2) “Wrong Number” by TVXQ yeah yeah I like some K!pop

3) “Ana Said” by Instalok ft Lunity (“Mama Said” by Lukas Graham Overwatch parody)

4) “Blue Lips” by Regina Spektor

5) "Ruby and Sapphire’s Fusion” from Steven Universe

6) "Every Planet We Reach is Dead” by Gorillaz

7) “Automatonic Electronic Harmonics” by Steam Powered Giraffe 

8) “Lone Digger” by Caravan Palace

9) “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder. Very awesome song

10) “Take it Back” by Miracle of Sound

If you all want to do the meme too cool, if not that’s cool too, I’m tagging: @orangecitrusring, @dobabiesfloat, @supermanopause, @laelaxh, @meatcreek, @csphire, @tehloserprince, @dalishpariah, @harzilla, @cthulhu and anyone else who’d also like to join in, please feel free to tag me back and say I tagged you :)

*TIRTW & can recommend

I do a quick search for author tumblrs (if they’re not posted on their fic, or AO3 profile); then assume they either don’t have one, or don’t want it linked to their fic, if it’s hard to find. So if you are a writer who has a tumblr they want linked to their rec, or know someone who is, just let me know and I’ll fix it.

+ The overhang at least helped them stay out of the wind. Beth looked about them frantically for anything to make a fire and found nothing. "Cicero, wake up!" She ordered while giving him a frantic shakes. "W-wait..." she let him go and looked at her palms then to the rocks. Getting an idea, she dug two out of the snow, one for each palm and concentrated. Using her flames she heated them up until they were almost untouchable then carefully tucked them under his arms before picking up two more.

In the real world such a sudden and drastic shift in temperature would cause a heart attack. In a fantasy world such as this, there was no such worry. He simply remained in his chill-induced sleep, groggy and exhausted from the cold.
