★ if you’re interested, email me at vampirecoral@gmail.com with your visual references and character info! i’m game for dragon age characters/OCs, but you don’t have to limit yourself to just that fandom. i do require that you pay upfront!
★ if you’d prefer a simple white background instead of a solid color BG, just let me know. otherwise, pick the color that you want c:

(( if you find a ‘lore-friendly’ equivalent word, please let us know because i have the same problem ))
//honestly wth are we supposed to do with these lmao
((One word you could use in place of "cool" is "awe-some". I think preserving the hyphen makes the word sound more archaic. It meant "impressive" circa the 1670's, which can be synonymous with "cool".))

bisexualulfric, legatexrikke Elisif as the daughter of Ulfrikke AU got me thinking of Eliswen and how that would lend itself to certain """delicate""" situations.

((Hey, could everybody who reads this please tag any post that features auditory hallucinations in music/sound bites, in videos, or even in writing, "tw auditory hallucinations" or "tw paracusia"? I have generalized anxiety disorder (diagnosed by a professional) and one of my main fears is experiencing symptoms related to schizophrenia--particularly auditory hallucinations. If you could do that for me, I would very much appreciate that.))
I want to share some additional thoughts on what is my favorite of these engravings. This is a Whale Priest, holding a pair of harpoons and wearing a horned cowl and mittens, which were likely made of fur, horker skin, or layers of both.
Above him is poised a figure charging to spear the great whale from a longboat. Prior to settling in Skyrim, the Nords were predominantly a seafaring people, and living along the frozen shores of the Sea of Ghosts, whaling would have been an important part of life. A whale could provide meat, bone, blubber, and oil for an entire clan.
The details of the whale itself are also fascinating. It’s hard to say whether they are the product of the engraving’s artistic style or accurate depiction of the whales the Nords hunted. The whale has an elongated body similar to those of prehistoric whales such as Basilosaurus and a toothed maw like Mammalodon. Mammoths still roam around Skyrim, so it’s not hard to imagine that such creatures might dwell deep in the Sea of Ghosts.

Starting around the time the Last Dragonborn arrived in Skyrim, Elisif began having a series of graphic nightmares. They usually involve a beating heart, an injured Elisif, and the repetitious phrase, "Sundered, kingless, bleeding" being shouted. Elisif is unaware of the exact cause of these dreams, but she fears it has something to do with becoming closer to Vaermina in some way. She has confided into Falk about these nocturnal disturbances; he surmises that it's due to the pressure being placed upon her. This does not dissuade Elisif from worrying that her soul is somehow in jeopardy.
((The mind wanders: I’m quite curious as to why Skyrim allows for same-sex marriage/acceptance of same-sex couples. How did that development occur? Was it through slow Imperialization, or did tolerance/acceptance exist before the Empire (Alessian or otherwise) butted…

Ah, sorry about this if it comes off as homophobic! I am gay myself, and while that doesn’t excuse my mistake, please know that it was not my intention to be homophobic, and that these questions were not borne out of malice, but misplaced curiosity.
My choice of wording was very poor, I guess what I should have said was; Skyrim and real life are quite different places. There are reasons homophobia developed in real life—but what prevented homophobia from rooting itself in Skyrim’s culture? Did the population accept homosexuality from the get-go, or did taboos arise starting from a certain period of time until sometime before the fourth era? Did the Empire have something to do with changing cultural values (despite the fact that, as tumblr user Lleran pointed out, that in real life, empires have usually been the ones passing homophobic and transphobic laws.)
So yeah. Sorry about the unfortunate implications, everybody! I apologize if anybody else caught wind of this and was made to feel uncomfortable by it!))
