Molotovkhaos - The Magister

If I were a security guard for a person who’s being targeted by assassins I simply wouldn’t devote my entire attention span to every single noise I hear.

I for one think the symbiotic relationship between Tumblr and AO3 is beautiful

(I bring a sort of “Everyone has inherent worth regardless of their productivity” Vibe to every conversation that ableists don’t really seem to like)

oc doodles, my nerevarine is a loser dumpster fire who has bad vibes and looks like a sparkledog

this is what is constantly running through voryn's mind. just thoughts of nerevar in red, married to him.

i still dont know how to draw his hair. maybe one day.

Got to watch the ending of Oblivion Remastered and tortured myself by listing to Amulet of Kings by Young Scrolls. Why are our heroes fated to lose everything they love?

Our heroes—blessed by Akatosh himself—are chosen to save the world and for what? Recognition? Fame? The world loving you? It doesn’t mean anything when the people who meant the world to you, who loved you, are gone. Why be a hero when you can’t even save the ones who saved your smiles, laughters, and joy?

“What a cruel joke the Time God played on you, to give you none at all.”

The Eternal Champion is hardly talked about anymore, their time as the Hero was done. Their identity unknown as to who they are but only known by who they became to be in the eyes of the Empire.

The Agent of Daggerfall was a twice-cursed victim of time. They were a Hero and a casualty lost to the very thing that the Time God stood for. They weren’t protected from the Warp in the West—the Dragon Break.

The Nerevarine was shoved into prophecy by the dragon rulers themselves (Akatosh and Uriel) with their life revolving around the time long ago that they couldn’t even begin to understand. Are you your own person or are you a man from 4,000 years ago where the gods were so desperate to keep him alive that instead of resurrecting him… they made you?

The Champion of Cyrodiil watched as their friend became the Avatar of Akatosh only to then die right in front of them. Were you really the Hero or was he the true Hero all along? Either way, you were fated to follow under the Aedra’s guidance and then doomed to become their biggest enemy.

The Dragonborn is a funny predicament, the dragon god wills you into being a dragon trapped in the body of a mortal. Now you must fight against Akatosh’s own SON, where you two are joined and destined by fate and by time to destroy each other. Will it happen again in the next world? Will you two be forced into this cycle for the rest of time? This oddly reminds me of a certain serpent… Satakal? Hilariously, Akatosh and Satakal are claimed to be the same in the French translation of the book The Monomyth.

Speaking of, they say that being born under the Serpent makes you the most blessed and the most cursed. It’s no coincidence that dragons look a lot like them. Maybe it wasn’t just about the constellations.

It was about him.

When the next Hero comes in TES6, who knows what they’ll become and lose to time, too?

And don’t get me started with the Vestige for ESO because that’s a whole can of worms I’m not hungry enough to open.
