*pokes* is the skyrim fandom still alive

I love the Skyrim guild questlines because nearly all of them are just "We're in our flop era"

"Statue of the Snow Prince" - Note the statues facial similarity to the "degenerated" appearance of Falmer as opposed to the traditionally handsome depiction we see of the Snow Prince statue in TES V.

In English, we say, "Flirting."

In TES, we say, "Sorry lass . . . I've got important things to do. We'll speak another time."

thieves guild my beloved

Guilds ranked by how much internal fucking is going on

10. Dawnguard: none of these people are fucking each other because Isran is weirdly up in everyone's business.

9. Dark Brotherhood: The only ones getting any action are Astrid and Arnbjorn and only because they're married

8. Theives Guild: surprisingly not a lot of sex going on in the sewers of Riften. The members DO fuck, just not each other

7. Companions: I debated where to put them but I feel like the younger ones (Athis, Torvar, Ria, Njada) are definitely all over each other

6. Imperial Legion: analog to the roman legion so you KNOW there's a ton of gay shit going on in there

5. Bards College: like the thieves guild they mostly fuck people outside the college but there is a lot of shit going down in the dorms

4. Stormcloaks: I feel like there's some weird eugenics shit going on with them

3. Volkihar clan: duh

2. Thalmor: definitely some weird eugenics shit going on with them

1. College of Winterhold: these wizards are fucking each other like you wouldn't believe

Purposely left off the blades and the greybeards because ew

Lowkey like the idea of Gambit's thieves guild being Catholic. It vibes with the Frenchness and the Louisiananess. But it's that kind of catholic thats twisted up in local tails and ghosts and supernatural where the devil stands at crossroads and clever men can trick him with a pinch of luck and a willing saint

I also really like the idea of them being like the medici family where they are huge patrons to the church, with a vain hope that will absolve them of the many sins created to attain the wealth (the medici fam squad were bankers when it was considered a sin to lend and have people pay back money with interest; course they called it something else to be fine with God because tricking god through a very specific use of specific words is a game they played)

Also like the medici family; they look after some of the churches money and grows it.

Only the priest in confessional knows all of what they've done.

Is prayer and repayment to the church enough? Idk but I think it's freaking funny to think of Gambit, nightcrawler and daredevil going to mass together and participating in lint and ash Wednesday.

I have a head Cannon that the thieves guild has an alligator snapping turtle they tested the elixir of life on and have made functionally immortal and they keep her around as a pet.

Her name is Lady Godiva and she's nearly 300 years old

Confession: I love stealing. I'd steal from myself if I could.

Seeing Brynjolf alone at the Ragged Flagon as he brushes everyone off, stating that he's busy when he is clearly not, is... frustrating. I had to give this behavior an explanation, so I put myself in his position: Brynjolf has just handed over his life and afterlife to a Daedric Prince. Was there really no other choice to avenge the Guild, did he really have to sacrifice his freedom forever, even after death? Empty chests can be replenished with gold, a new Guildmaster can be elected, but he will never have his future back. Maybe he even starts to understand Mercer Frey's choice to betray Nocturnal. There at the tavern, drinking ale and keeping his face hidden to conceal the pain, Brynjolf realizes that there is no escape from the fate he was forced to accept.

Thieves' Guild 5, with 2 versions of Wallace Miller's cover art for this adventure supplement by Kerry Lloyd and Janet Trautvetter (Gamelords Ltd, 1981). I always liked the framing of an assassin's point of view, hidden in a tree watching an orc party pass below.

Brynjolf: *sneaks into the Ragged Flagon at 2am*

Vex: *turns in swivel chair* Care to tell me where you were?

Brynjolf: I was with . . . uh . . . Delvin!

Delvin Mallory: *also turns in a swivel chair* Care to— *keeps spinning* Vex. Vex, I can’t stop the cHAIR—
