---Heartfire, 10th, 4E 201---

We went to the spot Gore wanted to go, one of them anyway. A gorgeous cliffside, overlooking a vast amount of Skyrim. He wanted to talk about what we could be.

He says he isn't ready for that, he's got a lot of complex trauma and history that gets in this way.

But, gods. I'd wait. I told him, I'll wait.

I'd do that for him.

We went to the other spot he wanted to go, somewhere overlooking the waterfalls. We were ambushed, and some rather interesting things came from his mouth, though nothing more than usual. I inquired about it, and it lead to quite a bit of, well. Interesting history with him.

A killer, by the will of those with more power than him. Who killed to get any peace.

Didn't matter who. Adult and child.

I can't say I'm surprised, though I was in the moment. Given what he's told me about the Ravens, of Jo-Lee, it tracks perfectly.

He probably wouldn't be shocked to learn I've been told to do the same. I'm a knight, formerly anyway, and much like being a Raven, us soldiers would do anything just for a moment of peace, of privacy.

The blood on both of our hands could fill a river. A waterfall, as it were.

I told him I don't love him any less, I don't think less of him because of it. I was in similar, yet different shoes. Maybe I'll get a chance to tell him the truth someday.

Talked to him more tonight. He was expecting me to hate him, so he could end it on his terms. I told him I don't. Regardless of if he's done those things, he's different now. I don't care for him any less.

He thanked me.

I talked to Talley too, about his father, his home. He misses it, but not the people. His things, cats. His body image issues. It makes sense to me why he puts so much into his appearance, given how he's been degraded and demasculinized for it.

Me too.

Saw cool art IMMEDIATELY followed by that person rattling about the how 'bad the 2014 Thief gameplay is' and I'm sorry but that is the worst fucking take I've ever seen in my life.

I'm currently playing through the original trilogy and I won't be finishing the first two games because of how ass the controls are. Maybe it's just not for me and that's fine but that doesn't mean the entire game is bad. I'm so sick of this absolute garbage of an excuse not to give a game a chance because 9 out of 10 times they're not talking about the 'gameplay' and I don't think they are now because playing through Deadly Shadows literally made me go 'oh shit so that's where 2014 got it from' multiple times.

This goes for all videogames, stop being a dick. Stop being so unnecessarily aggressive in your opinion towards media because if you were a bit hit personally by me earlier calling the Thief 1 and 2 controls ass, that's my point, not fun is it? I've been saying this for YEARS but PLEASE just say 'I didn't like it' and keep it at that or slap it behind a read more or something. Just going 'it's bad it's bad' is not a review, feedback nor critique. People who love that thing don't wanna see it and to see it in a tag FOR that thing is worse. I go to that tag to find other people who like the same thing, not you ranting about how much you hate it.

[midnightfangz]

It's hyperfixation o'clock, guess who's getting salty again that there aren't any worldbuilding fics about the Dark Brotherhood

problem I'm experiencing with my Skyrim plot line lately is the godforsaken civil war. Because of course it is. I really want my two characters to have interesting and conflicting opinions on it and have to come to a middle ground over time as they realize they are both right and both wrong.

But the civil war plot has all the intrigue, nuance, and substance of a piece of paper that's been disintegrating in a murky pond for two days. Actually the paper might have more intrigue because at least you can't know what's written on it. And now I am supposed to build nuance and emotional stakes around it which I don't want to do, but I want to leave it out of the story even less.

I wanna know more about Serana being adopted by the Dimitrescus, if you have anything to share ^_^ (Also baby deserved better)

Okay, so, I have no set way for how exactly Serana ends up in Romania (I'm considering putting a little re8 spin on her canon so she fits better tbh. Like she's a very old product of the megamycete cause I have an idea for that), but I'm a fan of the idea that the girls basically just... find her prowling around the castle, looking for food and a way out of the sun, and they basically just decide to bring her in like she's a stray cat off the street. Because they don't realize she's not just some feral creature at first (In their defense, she's a little more... creature-ish than them) and bring her to their mom like "CAN WE KEEP IT??"

Alcina and Serana end up talking a bit (after the girls are made to apologize). Details of the convo aside, Alcina decides that Serana would be much better off if she stayed with them. She fits right in after all, and the girls seem to like her. Serana sees nothing wrong with it, it's not like she has anywhere else to go. Adoption comes with a bit of time, but eventually Serana just starts becoming knows as the fourth Daughter and doesn't protest it.

Now, Serana is... roughly thousands of years old, way older than even Miranda herself. But to Bela, Daniela, and Cassandra, Serana is their baby sister, and they treat her like one. They tease her, and they baby her, and they will kill anyone who looks at her funny.

She gets on the best with Bela. They're both mature, they both have an interest in science type stuff, they're both ace, they just generally have a lot to talk about. Serana also just likes how calm Bela is. Cassandra and Daniela are great, but they can be very intense, and there are times Serana would rather just... sit in silence with Bela and read.

That said, her relationships with Cassandra and Daniela are still pretty good.

Cassandra can be... a lot, but she's shown Serana some more variety of blade skills, along with taking her on hunts. Not that she really needed to learn either of those skills, but it was still fun for her. She also just generally admires Cassandra's bravado, even if she can be a little dense. (Reminds Serana of her dad a little, if she's honest)

Daniela can also be a lot, but if a very different way. Daniela's incredibly energetic and Serana just can't always keep up with her, but she can't deny that Dani is really sweet and caring. She's also really interested in Serana's frost magic (well, they all are, but Dani especially), and wants to know all about it. Dani's also the best for physical comfort out of the three sisters. Once Serana is comfortable enough to allow it, anyway.

All in all, Serana decides she likes having sisters.

Now, when it comes to Alcina, Serana's slightly more... cautious about things. Obviously, her relationship with her birth parents isn't exactly great, and Alcina kind of brings out her mommy issues. Serana is... a very big people pleaser, or at least she is with authority figures. Much like Bela, she doesn't want to disappoint Alcina at all. She tries to be as quick and efficient as possible when something's asked of her. She's basically a huge perfectionist when it comes to being with Alcina, just hoping for a bit of praise or even just attention.

Alcina loves her Little Bat, but she worries about this perfectionism. It's very similar to how Bela used to act and she worries over what Serana went through to make her act in such a way.

I have, predictably, been thinking about Celann; been thinking about Bretons and their half elf blood, the magic in it, their innate magical skill. It manifests, in the player character, as higher magical bases and the ability to absorb hostile magic.

Celann doesn't seem like much of a spellcaster to me.

Schools of magic are called disciplines for a reason: they require work and dedication, even for the simplest spells (people aren't, for example, commonly seen wandering around casting candlelight.) Even with half elven blood, I can't imagine him being much of a caster.

However, there's still the secondary way magic manifests: as a repellant, a shield. Maybe he didn't grow up learning magic–which naturally, in such a mage-focused society (High Rock,) would be met with a variety of reactions–maybe his family realized he seemed to be missing what most people have and let it rest.

Maybe he never really thought about why his sister didn't just charm him during the attack in the woods until the Vigilant woman he'd met brought it up.

Celann may lack magical capabilities, but in return his mind is firmly walled off, untouchable by charms, fear spells, forced sleep. It's invaluable against the kinds of enemies he and his allies face, against mages and vampires and anything else that slings spells with ease–but it also turns away friendly charms. Courage, Rally, any variation of anything that's meant to bolster and assist results in as much a waste of magicka as a curse. Where others learn to shield themselves against mind altering magic, to close their consciousness to them, he, very slowly, had to learn how to create a window for friendly charms to take effect.

It's entirely unconscious; no effort goes into realizing that something is coming and shielding himself from it. The door is permanently shut, and it takes effort instead to crack it open when something friendly comes knocking. He's able to recognize hexes and charms and curses only because he realizes the harm they could do to his allies–if they're aimed at him, he pays them no mind, may not even realize it's being cast. It's a large part of his success as a vampire hunter: their charm, innate, instinctual, and one of their greatest defenses, is utterly useless when he's the one facing them down. (He's used this to his advantage before, on occasion, when goading his enemies is possible and he can get them to expend their magic on him before his allies reveal themselves, no longer at risk of being turned against one another or frozen still.)

Thinking about Celann, lacking any magical skill--potentially ostracizing, to a degree, in his old life--but with a mind like a fortress--useful and valuable in his new one, earning him an easy place.
