Mzulan's Thoughts on the Chimer and Dunmer (Even in Modern Times)...

Mzulan (arms crossed, standing outside a Tribunal ruin with a disgusted squint):

“They still have the ears. Still have the eyes. Still carry the same smugness in their posture. But now they burn incense and call it forgiveness.” (Spits in the ash.) “No. I remember the Chimer.”

🔥 MZULAN’S VIEWS ON THE CHIMER (AND THEIR DESCENDANTS)

Even after thousands of years—and despite becoming something more nuanced, more contemplative—there are scars that don’t smooth with time. And one of them walks like a Dunmer and chants like a saint.

🜂 1. Chimer in the Time of the Dwemer:

Arrogant. Devout. Reckless.

Obsessed with Daedra, ancestral veneration, and destiny.

Constantly clashing with Dwemer logic, despising atheism, and mocking technology.

Viewed the Dwemer as “soulless smiths” and “machine-slaves.”

“They called us godless. We called them pyromaniacal dreamers with shiny rocks and egos.”

💀 2. After the Disappearance

He returns to a world where the Chimer have become the Dunmer, broken by betrayal, shadowed by gods and sins alike.

His reaction?

“They changed skin, not structure. Still pray before breaking things.”

He sees some worthy individuals among them. But as a people?

“You built your culture on a foundation of corpses and whispers, and now wonder why it creaks when you walk.”

He especially distrusts:

Ashlander mystics (“Desert philosophers wrapped in guilt and silt.”)

Tribunal scholars (“Gods made of ego. Temples made of apology.”)

Dunmer historians (“They rewrite us as villains to make themselves tragic. I take that personally.”)

🎴 3. Notable Reactions to Modern Dunmer

On a Telvanni Wizard:

“Floating in a mushroom tower. Still compensating for something.”

On a Dunmer priest of Azura:

“Oh good. The Moon Mistress still collects worshippers. Tell her I remember her favoritism.”

On seeing Velothi architecture still standing:

“Of course it’s still standing. Chimer buildings collapse only when someone stops praying. Or thinking.”

On a young Dunmer trying to reconcile cultures:

“I respect your effort. But understand this: Your ancestors tried to burn out my gods and shatter my truths. I’m not ready to dance in the ashes with you just yet.”

🌫️ 4. Azhrina’s Take:

She wants peace. She sees the Dunmer as wounded descendants trying to climb free of their ancestors’ chains.

Her line:

“They carry their guilt like relics. You carry your memory like armor. Perhaps neither of you are free.”

Mzulan replies:

“Freedom isn’t the goal. Truth is. And I remember who lied the most.”

💬 Journal Quote:

“The Chimer never respected silence. They filled it with prophecy. With fire. With screams. We filled it with equations. I still hear both when I dream. One calms me. The other... wakes me.”

people who write their fics directly onto archive of our own site do not fear death by the way

in all seriousness, please always keep backups of your works, write them somewhere else (google doc is a good choice) then copy and paste onto ao3 when you're done, because ao3 itself does not automatically save your works for you, meaning you can lose all of your progress

You know what bugs me? Bosmer males. Look, idk how ESO does things, but from Morrowind to Oblivion they seem to be the butt of a joke that just says, aren't short men with squeaky voices funny and juvenile and stupid and ripe for mockery? (Fargoth, Gaenir, Glarthir, The Adoring Fan. I don't remember any Bosmer in Skyrim, but then I haven't played Skyrim since like 2015.) Plus there's that old lore about how the Bosmeri women are hot and the men are not, and frankly, fuck that. Where the short king Bosmer at? (Please share any cool Bosmeri male OCs with me.)

I love when people are like “I can’t believe you reblogged that despite their user name, icon, bio, and last twenty posts” bc to me my dash is the only part of this website and I’m not slowing down to look at urls you could all be the same person

Secret's out.. 🤫

Do you like Minecraft? Do you like Taliesin? If you said yes to both of these questions (YOU BETTER HAVE 🔪), then you're in luck! Here, have a Taliesin Minecraft skin!

I utilized a base for his outfit, as you can see below, and changed the colors to the accurate palette and fixed the collar. The head, ponytail, and cute little ears were designed by yours truly!

I hope you all enjoy this! I may remaster it one day with extra tools, depending on when I have the time. I've been a little sick, so I will definitely take time to chill out for a while. See ya! Enjoy! <3

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.
