I've always wanted to do a "Pieta"-esque piece, and figured my Skyrim OCs would be a good vehicle to do it! Scene takes place shortly after the final Alduin fight, at the throat of the world: Vakna (dragonborn) doing her best to keep her Falmer lover, Sivasei conscious while imploring Odahviing to take them back to Whiterun.

the Skyrim intro if it was good:

[teeth-in-a-mason-jar]

I was (and still am lol) a Elder Scrolls Online player. I got bored with the game a while ago and haven't bought the new updates in like a year but I still log in to listen to Daahin the khajiit bard in Rimmen just cause her voice is so beautiful. I just sit there on the bench and listen.

Anyways, I got Skyrim a few months ago. I'm playing as an argonian. I am also a Minecraft player so when I found the survival mod I got really excited. Needless to say it is a rough time playing Skyrim for the first time on survival mode as an argonian. I am constantly afraid of freezing to death, but I'm doing well regardless.

Overall I am genuinely loving this game. The world feels so big despite the fact that it's itty bitty compared to the ESO map. I'm pretty sure that's because I primarily have to get everywhere on foot, (or horse or carriage if I'm lucky). Every character has this life to them. I'm really enjoying it. So while the graphics suck sometimes, I'm always swept away by the vibe and that's enough for me.

It does help that I mostly play minecraft, though I have played DBH and that certainly shows how things can look.

Anyways, I'm enjoying the heck out of Skyrim and I hope we all can enjoy it together.

all i want is to relive the first time i played skyrim—when i knew nothing, the world was infinite, possibilities were endless, and the graphics and mechanics were so new and impressive.

now i want nothing more than to perfect skyrim, to make it what i thought it was when my older brother handed me his controller for the first time.

longing for something i cannot have because i cannot do it myself

Folks who play games that are modded, what do you consider the meaning of 'vanilla'. I always considered it only official content (base and DLC) but heard someone use it to refer to base game only recently.

If you aren't familiar with its use, either don't answer, or pick which one makes sense to you having just learnt of it.

(And please consider reblogging, especially if you post game content, to get a bigger sample size across multiple gaming communities)

Josh is lactose intolerant across all games that I'm shoving him in. Please stop putting cheese in his food. He is begging you to stop putting cheese in his food!

A good survival mod in Skyrim makes survival mode actually fun and forces you to slow down a ton which is nice, it really makes walking everywhere basically mandatory to enjoy the scenery and general weird skyrimness,

also it took me like 5 in game days to beat bleakfalls barrow because I was underequipped and had no money or spells. amazing

Oh! And my favourite screenshots I've taken today - a view of Eastmarch at different times of day (early morning, daytime, evening, nighttime!). If you squint, Windhelm and the Palace of the Kings are visible on the horizon!

Random Skyrim Jackie concept :3 I'll definitely draw more of her, she's way too fuckin cute not to qwq

Speculation below for all my fellow Skyrim nerds:

She's from a continent aside from Tamriel, I was thinking Atmora but the lore states that it's an uninhabitable frozen wasteland. It's still possible she comes from there, as she's still a troll; albeit a very distant cousin of the trolls of Tamriel. Granted, the harsh winters of Skyrim do little to penetrate her thick ass coat of silky fluff! Anyone who pets the big beast can agree: soft, warm, smooth, and silky.

It's likely she found some way off the continent as a young fluffer, finding her way into Skyrim before or around the start of ES5, as an older fluffer. She's no Dragonborn, of course, she's a giant fluffy troll, but she absolutely LOVES food!

Cheese, bread, stews, wild berries, flowers, healthy meat, good bones, fish, I can't tell you how much she cried tasting sweetness for the first time. She loves moths and torchbugs, soft furs, I think she uses an illusion amulet gifted to her by an old mage to appear as a Breton or Imperial, otherwise, without it, big floofer. Sometimes she'll take long trips to the sea, catch wild fish and crabs for food.

She'd possibly have herself a nice cottage, one she found abandoned in Falkreath or Solitude, she grows food there, and wants to learn magic as well should the day ever come her amulet gives out on her. Despite being a troll, she's very friendly, and lacks the territorial nature of her cousins, it may have to do with possibly growing up totally alone on Atmora...
