anything bold, (in parantheses), AND italicized is stuff i’ve personally added to this for clarification purposes. feel free to get rid of them if i tag you!

b/c i want to, im going to elaborate on this under the cut:

she has a backpack wrapped in a bandolier of potions, most homemade. the inside of the bag is....kind of a mess. she just throws things in and has to dig around when she needs something. (not fun when she needs the knife or needle. but that’s what restoration magic’s for, right? there’s no tetanus in nirn, right?) she keeps the shovel (more of a trowel really, mostly used for muck-ing about, hehe) fastened to her bag as well. on top she keeps her guar-hide sleeping bag, wrapped in kresh fiber.

on her hip she (currently) has a sparks-enchanted glass dagger she nabbed off the corpse of one of her first morag tong writs. she thinks. she doesn’t exactly remember where she got it, but she probably killed someone for it, and love it very much.

her primary weapon, however, is a conjured daedric spear. it’s very powerful, and she loves it. just a wave of her claws and it’s hers, ready to stab.

she wears minimal medium armor, just enough to conceal under her robes. right now, it’s an orcish cuirass and bonemold pauldrons. she has a scarf now, but only after having to brave the ashen wastes of molag amur for mage’s guild business, and then winding up almsivi-intervention-ing to ald-ruhn, where there was a helpful ash-scarf merchant. she brings it with her everywhere on this stupid island now. she’s got a belt just to secure her robes a bit, and a few magic rings. 

one of those is the ring of khajiiti, which she got from doing a quest for mephala that she didn’t know she was doing, who it was for, or why. first guy she talks to in the morag tong base when she finds it says “go poison this guy’s food and don’t ask why.” so she did it without asking why, and when she came back, the morag tong guy said “mephala wants to talk to you now” and then she gave ku a magic ring. really nice magic ring, too.

as i said, her backback’s potion bandolier is chock full of useful little brews. restore health, magicka, fatigue, some cure blight disease, some dispel, levitation, etc. anything she might need that she might not (reliably) be able to cast a spell for. (she knows a levitate spell, but it’s really, really hard. she has one shot for it to work, and if it doesn’t, she’s out of magicka.)

she carries a mortar and pestle for on-the-go alchemy, and a lot of herbs and ingredients. she’s very disorganized, but at least she tries to keep those ingredients separated in pouches so as to avoid accidental reactions. she also keeps some of the marshmerrow + saltrice poultice she learned to make from her naheesh so long ago, for those times she doesn’t want to cast a spell or drink a health potion. if you apply it to a wound and wrap it up, it’ll heal, slowly but reliably.

she wants to get into enchanting, and so carries around a fair amount of petty soul gems, and a few lesser ones, and she knows a basic soul trap spell. but she’s constantly cursing herself because she always forgets to cast it, and ends up just killing the thing. she’s got a loose kwama forager, rat, cliffracer soul here and there, but she decided recently to stop carrying them around, because hist knows when she’ll actually use them for anything. still, she keeps some empty gems on her, just in case.

ku taught herself how to pick locks and disable minor traps long ago, when sneaking around the plantation to get or spread information, or to unlock armories to arm her revolt. now that she’s more magically inclined, she knows an ondusi’s spell, but always tries to pick it first, to try and keep the skill fresh.

she keeps a piece of charcoal to keep up with her journal and update her maps. even in her late 40s, she’s not completely literate, having been first a slave, then a revolutionary, then a prisoner. but she can read well enough to get by, and can even write in cyrodiilic enough to keep as detailed a journal as she can. (unfortunately, despite her ability to read cyrodiilic, it doesn’t do her much good in vvardenfell, since a lot of things seem to be written in daedric.)

she keeps needle and thread to sew up any damage to her robes, and to close particularly egregious wounds to maximize the effectiveness of healing magic done on them. she has a knife for utility purposes, generally gathering/processing ingredients such as plants or hides, as well as anything she doesn’t want to dirty her precious glass dagger for. and she keeps some kindling and corkbulb to start fires to keep her warm during the cold nights.

she always carries food and a slaughterfish-gut water bag whenever she’s on a trip for business. usually she eats salted slaughterfish, mudcrab meat, saltrice porridge, and scuttle. she also never turns down any tasty bugs she comes across. she boils her water (and cooks her porridge) in a small cast iron pot, and has a similarly sized pan for grilling meat. she keeps some sujamma on her, not for recreation, but in case she ever needs a bit of a pick-me-up. 

as a child, she spent a lot of time with her khajiit friends, who always seemed to have a way to occasionally get a hold of moon sugar, despite the harsh punishment if a slave was caught with it. as a result, ku developed something of a sweet tooth, and occasionally like to treat herself to some.

she also carries extra food and water, just in case she ever runs into a situation where she needs to escort a slave to safety.

her money never seems to exceed about 3000 drakes, mostly due to having to bribe so many people for information, since she’s not always so good with words. now that she’s got a semi-stable job with the morag tong, though, this might change soon. and if she ever gets around to selling some of the junk she’s got holed away.

she keeps the journal and map she obtained from arille’s tradehouse in seyda neen in a front-pocket of her backpack, and tucks any books she finds interesting in her travels in the bottom of her backpack. currently, she is carrying one regularly: "a pilgrim’s path,” just in case she is close by to one of the shrines, or forgets what offering to leave.

she carries her sadrith mora hospitality papers, as well as her current morag tong writs, in a separate pocket from her journal and map. she’s also been collecting these strange, glowing, singing plants she keeps finding along the water with no discernible alchemical uses. she’s shown them to other alchemists, as well, but none of them knew anything about it. some, however, told her there was an alchemist in caldera who studies these plants. she has yet to visit caldera, though.

around her neck she carries a sentimental comfort item: a fire-proof twig from a hist tree (given to her by her naheesh, it is a small fragment of a branch that fell from a hist tree) bound tightly to a small pearl ku’s mother once found in the soil at the bottom of a marshmerrow paddy. both of these women are now long dead, lost either before or during her revolt. they’re all ku has left of them, and constant reminders of the futility of her actions as a young adult.

TES hot takes that shouldn’t be controversial but they are for some reason

Forsworn are terrorists, terrorism is bad no matter the reason.

Stop defending terrorism, kiddos and other 16 year old intellectuals in the TES fandom.

[cydonian-mystery]

So amendoze (formerly localdoubt and nerevar-shid-and-fard) is a queerphobe. How disappointing.

Seriously though, this fucking cancer of terf ideology disguised as "more woke than thou" whataboutism and gaslighting is spreading out of control on this godforsaken site and I'm so sick and tired of it.

It doesn't make me feel safe continuing to be here.

Because it's like... every fucking time, it's someone I've followed for years without issue to just out of nowhere repeat the same fucking ancient, tired arguments against us queer identifying people and why our identity is the ultimate evil, no good, very bad word.

I don't even engage with this bullshit anymore, because it's been debunked 50,000,000,000,000+ times by people way smarter than me, like AE Dooland and vaspider.

It isn't new anymore. It isn't novel. It's fucking tiresome. I'm beyond defending my goddamn identity.

I'm queer. Fuck off and die mad about it.

Did You Know: There is no apparent limit to how large a Tamrielic spider can grow?

Unanswered lore question: is arachnophobia A Thing in Tamriel?

“I hate those damn things. Too many eyes, you know?”

Is it a phobia if it’s a completely rational fear of SPIDERS WITH NO GROWTH LIMITS??!

any tes blog recommendations?

@trinimac @profanetools @seydaneencensusoffice @foulserpent @jiubilant @sharmat-dreams @tonal-modulator @nerevar-shid-and-fard @skyrimphobic @chimervera @sai-sahan @kagrenacs @nemenalya this is barely scratching the surface but like, off the top of my head these ppl consistently produce good takes/art/writing/joaks. also ofc you should follow my girlfriend @mistressdratha / @mannimarcos even though she doesnt do much TES any more

[daggerfall]

Can I ask how you became friends with all your TES friends? (Like the-greymarch.) Do you know each other irl? Did you meet on Tumblr? In ESO? I feel like you’ve talked about this, but I can’t remember.

Well I met @the-greymarch almost 5 years ago in a Pokemon Giveaway twitch stream, when we were both trying to get a particular Furret and bonded over our love of ferrets. From there we just became mutuals in the Pokemon Giveaway community, joined a discord or two together, and became friends from there. We both joined tesblr around the same time.

Everyone else that you may see me as being friends with I just met through tesblr by liking their posts or seeing them make interesting comments on my own and/or we're in @nerevar-shid-and-fard's discord server together. Though the first TES server I joined was Stella's partner's, who was one of the first people I followed in tesblr and kinda connected all of us together at the start. Most everyone I just met through tumblr, and my closest friends on here treat me like a person, not a blog.

[electronicdelusionstarlight]

@nerevar-shid-and-fard, small question, do you think this is supposed to be Baurus? The name specifies him being a attendant to the current emperor, and he’s a redguard, and there is a pretty specific number of those characters, while the card art shows him having killed one of the mythic dawn assassins in a place that looks suspiciously like starting dungeon, before you split up with Uriel and go in the goblin infested cave.

Can’t for the life of me remember his lines.

[jiubilant]

i don't know how much ground this has but i always had a particular voiceclaim for ravi and i only now realized that i was thinking of john cleese. naturally, i reread all your ravi microfics in john cleese's voice - nerevar-shid-and-fard

no yeah that's...pretty much perfect. are you a wizard

(also. you reread? my work?? thank you for telling me. this was a very nice message)

fun ravi fact, since we're on the subject: that's not his real accent! he puts it on! in fact he's kept it for so long that he has trouble dropping it now. so he almost never does. and that's cymbal ism

[cinderthemechanics]

Nickname: i guess people sometimes call me marykinz. I go by cinder online.

Zodiac: Scorpio, although i don't follow astrology. I do find aspects of it interesting.

Height: I'm not sure how tall i am in feet lol. I'm not American. But I'll hazard a guess and say maybe 5'2''?

House: i live in a flat.

Song in my head: Falling by Trevor Daniel. Cos my future husband sent it to me ❤���❤️

Followers and following: 57 followers and 653 following.

Amount of sleep: *laughs nervously* Yes.

Lucky number: 21

Dream job: working as a teacher and guidance counsellor. I love working with kids, they have a unique perspective on things.

Wearing: pink pj's, cos pj's are all i live in these days lol.

Favourite song: I'm so bad at picking favourites lol.. I have too many. But i guess right now, nervous energy by glades is one of my top favourites.

Instrument: i can't play anything, unfortunately. Although if i could i would love to try my hand at the violin or the piano. In a completely soundproofed room, for the sake of everyone's hearing lol.

Random fact: i was hit by a car once. Didn't break anything, just got scrapes and bruises.

Favourite author: Again, im very bad at picking favourites. I have too many favourite authors, and i guess it depends on what im in the mood to read and what im feeling at the time. I would have to say one of my top picks would be Marissa Meyer. I love her books, her stories are so unique. And there's the fact that she started out as a fangirl like the rest of us. On nanowrimo too. Its really inspiring for those writers who post stuff online to Ao3 and other places. I could reread her books forever

A few other authors would be Laurie Halse Anderson, Sophie Kinsella.

Favourite animal sounds: kittens meowing. Pretty much most baby animal noises. They're just adorable.

Aesthetic: my aesthetic i guess changes along with my mood? Sometimes im feeling the whole pastel, cutesy pixie/fairy thing. Sometimes I'm feeling the regency era vibes. Sometimes it's the whole fantasy world thing, where its common place to wear armor (WITHOUT BOOBPLATES) and weapons and go on adventures. I like the idea of wandering, just picking up and going wherever you please, you want to go on an adventure? Fuck it, pack some snacks and your trusty sword and just go. I like that.

Thanks @daedriclorde for this.

I pick @sadkhajiit @partyatsanguines @chimkardashian @nerevar-shid-and-fard to give this a go next.

[orsinium-scholar]

HEY i don't know how late i am but happy birthday!! -nerevar-shid-and-fard

Thank you! I had a great time!

I went to pottery club and then DnD

When will my party animal antics cease

[boethiah]

i don't know anything about eso but can you please tell lyris titanborn there's a woman who wants to give her a big smooch (it's me) -nerevar-shid-ans-fard

she was very bashful and also flattered and said she’s honoured :) she’s a very sweet woman and appreciates the compliment 

[daggerfall]

A question: I have a dragon oc who isn’t aro, is that okay??? Like, is it lore friendly???

1) i didnt say tes dragons are canon aro. i believe it though, because theyre not people, and there’s not a single instance of dragons having romantic attraction in lore, since apparently that’s important to you.

2) why do you need my validation, im literally just a 22 year old math major eating m&ms in the student union, calm down. some of yall get too worked up over me and put me on some pedestal as the only person capable of validating your characters and headcanons. it’s dehumanizing and weird.

i’d say im sorry for using your ask to express this frustration that keeps happening and has been happening ever since i got “popular” in tesblr, but im really not. i’m not looking for an apology or anything (please dont), but too many people come to me like “is my headcanon valid?” or “omg PAS noticed me!” or say stuff like “im intimidated to join @nerevar-shid-and-fard‘s server because PAS is there” (also PLEASE dont ever call me PAS, especially to me. i have a name). please evaluate why you’re intimidated by me and realize im just a college student making ocs and memes and having a good time
