The Illusionist: To New Beginnings and Old Conclusions by SeydaNeen / @dirty-bosmer

Following the death of the Emperor, Nimileth escapes prison and with it, the shadows darkening her past. But she's a skilled illusionist, a thief, a swindler, and old habits it would seem are hard to kick.

"I needed this during quarantine, and there's a part 2 (!!!)" -- Goo

"GOOD LORD THIS HURTED ME IN THE MEOW MEOW ; A;" -- memai

"Nim is immediately a compelling character right off the bat. She wants to do good, to be good, but she struggles with anger and darker impulses, and this being the prologue makes me immediately want to read on and see how she's faring in the future." -- FourCatProductions

His Silencer just killed the entirety of the Black Hand and he doesn't know whether to be mad or 🥵 about it

Oh my gaaaahd the detail on this piece is incredible!! And she looks so adorable in your style, I can't stop staring. Thank you so much, my friend 💕😭💕 I am so touched and it's more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

@dirty-bosmer’s darling Nimileth at the height of her Arcane University career. :3

Chipping away at chapter 2 of post-applewatch Lucien/Nim smutchaos. He's slowly discovering that his girlfriend is the Daedric Prince of Madness and he's uh... not happy about it :)

Mountain air and forest musk. Sharp sting of pine on wind-chafed skin. Past the battlements of Fort Farragut, the sunlight grasps at all it can touch, scours the world until it’s clean, gilded and glimmering. Lucien has seen enough of Tamriel to know that this is as close to paradise as he’ll ever be again, so he breathes it deep, permitting himself only a moment of idle fantasy, where alone, he dreams of the life that he’s since left behind. One with the security afforded by the familiar title of Speaker, one where he still knew with certainty what Sithis wanted of him. One where he didn’t question the power he’d rightfully earned. The life before he met her.  But now? Now as Listener, bearing the highest honor that can be bestowed, he’s become frayed, unfinished, a stranger to himself. Now when the Brotherhood needs him the most, doubt rots him at the root, hollows him out in the xylem. And it sickens him, revolts him, and he knows this isn’t him, knows in his bones that this weakness comes from powers beyond comprehension. Strange magic she's infected him with— she's changed. She changes him, for he has never been this man, and it’s her fault. Hers. The sin no prayer will deliver. The poison he’d have to let himself bloodless to relieve. Him and his Silencer who's no longer his Silencer, growing together like lichen, alike in that desire makes them even more frightening. How they want so completely. How their love consumes all. Even here, hundreds of miles from their home in Bravil, he can’t escape it. Trapped in the whirl of it, he watches himself orbit about her as if hovering a foot above his head. Lucien's fists strain against the railing, because he is the Listener; he is not this man. Duty comes before all and if she threatens it, she'll reap the consequence, and yet he knows, in his bones, that he'll return to her out of instinct, some animal inclination, by some foreign presence inside him. Inhuman and shapeless, unable to vanquish the final act of longing, he opens his heart to her like a fresh wound. Like something torn apart. 

It's them.

Tagged by @arnaerr to share some fun facts about a tes OC. It was really nice to revisit my disaster baby, thank you :) Especially considering I had no wip to share today...

This is Nimileth, my Hero of Kvatch | Sheogorath

Terribly afflicted by foot-in-mouth syndrome

Fled life as an orphan in Kvatch only to stumble into a Daedric cult. Learned a lot about alchemy and illusion magic while in said cult so it wasn't all bad, sacrifices aside :)

Brewed skooma for the Renrijra Krin in her youth (she has a very strong work ethic, really).

Not keen on authority figures

Stumbled into yet another cult after she just kinda tripped on her bow and shot a countess in the neck and maybe dismembered her a little?? Such bad luck phew 🤷‍♀️

Big fan of red wine and also white wine and also the rubbing alcohol you stick eyeballs in for science

Instead of delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre, she stashed it under Methredhel's floor boards and forgot to do the main quest for two years. This was a time of great self-growth and even greater self-destruction.

First in her family to go to college and also first to be kicked out 🤪

Will break into your house and rearrange the pantry.

Not a big fan of whiskey

Following her apotheosis, she may or may not have eaten Lucien's soul, I mean stolen his heart <3

Loves a juicy pear on a summer eve

Moodboard very kindly made for me by @skyrim-forever <3

Nimileth — The Menace Hero of Kvatch

[dirty-bosmer]

Hello it's me again, went further into the insanity and made Nim a full outfit. Tried to capture the vibe of the dorito shorts + rat slippers combo, because every girl needs options

First headwear, something about this hat in camo is just hitting, plus the earrings can pair with the rat shoes <3

The shirt, perfect and the shorts acts as a warning to Lucien if he tries to stare at her. Or rather a promise, not a warning :)

The socks are cute and hold hands but also the eyes are unsettling and what is Nim if not cute and unsettling. And the mole shoes, which Lucien will call the rat shoes and she corrects him by saying "They are moles Lucien, you know what a mole is? You live like one you should know"

I hope you enjoy whatever this is <3 Fun little relaxing evening project for me :)

I AM SCREAMING FOR 1000 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!

The shirt and booty shorts combo that are 100% stained with cheeto dust I CAN'T. The MOLE slippers little fuckd up freaks 10/10 she'd own them because they're so ugly "and what is Nim if not cute and unsettling" SWEETER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN YOU ARE KILLING ME I LOVE YOU screaming crying puking dying etc. etc. btw my stomach hurts from laughing now

And the headwear on the freaking rat earrings lmao 😭 I kind of want them for myslef now, It's basically a moodring. Going out to fancy anniversary dinner? Rat with a crown. Going to freak at the skooma den? Party hat rats. She puts on rat earrings with black hoods when the Black Hand comes over for official business because she's a classy, respectful lady :)

Incredible. Eve, you are a visionary. Idk how you do it 💖💖💖 <- these are for you. I pulled them out of my own chest. Thank you, I needed this. I've been so low on writing insp lately. Crying from joy and also insanity.

OC in fifteen

Tagged by @justafoxhound : share 15 lines or less of dialogue that showcases your OC's personality

This one was so much fun! I had to sift through a lot 😅 Tagging: @elavoria @thequeenofthewinter @gilgamish @kookaburra1701 @wispstalk @skyrim-forever @theoneandonlysemla @sylvienerevarine @lucien-lachance @bostoniangirl21

Going with Nim for this one and tried to pick quotes that were somewhat chronological:

1. "I bet you don't have any friends either. You're as pleasant as guar dung, and you look like a netch fart with a face."

2. "Were we supposed to kill him?" she asked, shaking her dagger free of the straggling bits of bunt flesh. "Sorry, I probably should have clarified earlier."

3. "Who are you becoming?" she asked it, tapping the face of the emerald as though it might respond. "Is that you in there? What are you doing?"

4. “Well only if there's more to it then. Please continue, Mr. Lachance. You have my undivided attention.”

5.. “Oh, little moss," she said to it. "Why couldn't I have been born such a little moss too?"

6. "Ah— oh." Nim looked back to the bottle like it was a long, lost lover returned from the dead. “Well then… a sip, maybe.”

7. "But it's our guild. It's our fight."

8. “We’ll fix this,” she said, reaching for Lorise's hands, holding them tighter than she'd held onto anything in her life. “I promise.”

9. “It’s quite alright, Master Wizard,” she mumbled hoarsely. “I really should go anyway. I need to, um, brew some potions.

10. “It makes me happy, Mathieu. Why is that such a terrible thing?”

11. “Because I’ve sold him a lie. A pretty one. One that masks all the ugliness inside me.”

12. Her face split into an ugly grin then, cracked like an open coffin. "Yes!" she cried out. "Yes, I'm fucking around! As soon as you turn your back, with everybody, on every corner!"

13. “Gods, Arquen. I’m just a woman. I’m not a war.”

14. “You watched gleefully as I tore my life apart. When you put your hands on me, I turned myself inside out. You touched pieces of me not even I’d seen before, and now what, Lucien? Now you’re scared of what lies beneath?”

15. "It’s me or something pretending to be me or I’m pretending to be it. I can’t tell, but I can feel it. Can you feel it? Have you ever? Have you ever looked at yourself and thought, ‘what will it take to get rid of you? Why do you keep doing this? What a truly remarkable feat that you’ve managed to fuck up your life this badly?’”

[dirty-bosmer]

I’m being silly and I’m gonna make you be silly too, inspired by this what does Nim’s Taco Bell order? Does she get Lucien something knowing he won’t eat it so she can have it? 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you, Eve, for silly questions. What's the point of life if we can't get silly? Would explode and die probably.

Nim goes to Taco Bell Cantina, orders a Baja Blast Freeze with two shots of Don Julio, 2 cheesy bean and rice burritos (value menu queen) + 3 doritos locos tacos, then fills her pockets with at least 25 packets of hot sauce bc she’s a gremlin. Leftovers get eaten for breakfast the next day when her head hurts from bad choices :)

She tried earnestly to order for Lucien before, but he was like, "this drink looks and tastes like antifreeze + this food isn't authentic Mexican. It's barely even food. It’s falling apart the moment I pick it up, and now my hands are covered in Dorito dust. I won't debase myself by eating this. Indeed, now I shall regale you with a verbose tale of the al pastor I had out of the back of truck in a Walmart parking lot after a contract down in..."

Yeah, so now she just gets him a Modelo and some chips and salsa 🥰

How easily could your OC be convinced to do something that goes against their moral compass?

What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?

Thank you for the ask! I will answer these about my HoK, Nimileth.

How easily could your OC be convinced to do something that goes against their moral compass?

Pretty easily if the compensation is good 😅Partly because she lives in constant state of delusion, partly because she has a very poorly calibrated moral compass. A lot of Nim's moral struggle comes from her desire to be better despite not knowing what better means. Having spent her formative years in a cult that did pretty atrocious things, she's never really had a good role model for 'morally-upstanding citizen,' and from her time with the Renrijra Krin and the Thieves Guild, she learned that some of the kindest, most loving people were also capable of committing the most heinous crimes. So she kind of sees it as 'one man's unforgivable sin is another mans means of feeding his family' and tries not to think too hard about, eheh.

What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?

Ooh, funny enough, a few days ago I was looking through old, old, old drafts with scenes that never made it into the fic and realized my early version of Nim was a lot more mean. She's always had a bit of a blood-thirsty streak, but the way I've written her, it's something she refuses to acknowledge about herself because it scares her. She does bad things, but she's not necessarily cruel, and tries to hide that part of herself from everyone until the end of the fic. In early drafts, she was a lot more open about it, sanguine even. In general, less anxious and more comfortable with the ugliest parts of herself.
