Anyway~ To the author, their writing is just a m a z i n g. Each time they post it makes my day and just KSBSNAKKA i can't put it into words. They are one of my favorite writers and following them was one of the best decisions I've made on my short time of Tumblr. I send them much love and hope they are doing well and continue to grow with much love and support(•̀ᴗ•́)و Go follow tHeMMM, they are amazing

when will I learn to ignore fandoms like 99% of the time, they almost always ruin a piece of media for me

so anyway the new DLC-

There's a lot of reasons I'm not on board with the Alucard/Maria ship (in Nocturne's context, I still have yet to play Symphony of the Night and so can't speak to their game counterparts) but one of the reasons is that I genuinely think it would be the most boring route to take that would also be the biggest disservice to their characters.

Maria is clearly unmoored right now; she's lost her mother, she's killed her father, and Richter and Annette have left. She only has Juste and Alucard, both who she only just met and has no real strong attachment to. She's throwing herself headfirst into a revolution that's about to turn incredibly bloodthirsty, echoing her own descent into violence and vengeance.

She's likely developing a crush on Alucard, yes, but I think it runs deeper than that: I suspect she's going to latch onto him out of the belief that he's the only one who can understand what she's going through (vampiric parent, martyred mother, killed his father, etc.) And with Maria also turning increasingly towards vengeance and violence, I suspect this attachment is going to concern Alucard more than anything else. He spends decades trying to avoid human attachment, and when he decides to try again this child not only develops an unhealthy fixation on him, but also tries to use him as a blueprint for her own descent into vengeance. That's horrifying. That's juicy. That's going to give Alucard even more hangups about being in the lives of mortals. How can that not make him feel like a corrupting force?

"I want Alucard to jump on Maria as soon as she's 18" Well I want Maria to use Alucard to justify her wanting to behead people left and right while Alucard is wracked with guilt over having corrupted this child. I want them to make each other worse.

finally posting some art on here for the first time in a while so here's some WIPs of my HSR OC :3

With this little cobweb potion, you'll fall into dark devotion~

spam posting all my art here in the off chance twitter really does go down - My idv oc <3

in love with the idea of the db's followers being as remembered in history as the db themself. imagine:

engineers, for generations, mumbling the formula called 'Remiel's Constant' under their breaths as they develop machinery, because it's such a foundational discovery on Remiel's part for a new age of engineering

in contrast, future alchemists agonizing over Xelzaz' thousands of alchemical discoveries a night before their finals, bemoaning why he was so diligent in cranking out formula after formula because now they have so much to memorize

historians and casual history buffs alike locked in discourse on whether or not the last prince of the Thalmor actually colluded with the Dragonborn in the Second Great War to help bring down the Dominion, with vaguely-worded correspondence for evidence

adaptations of the tale where every single follower is at least someone's 'blorbo'

the ballad of Inigo the Brave being a cultural touchstone for Khajiit rep and spawning Tamriel's version of the rogue, underdog hero archetype. even when it's a totally fictional work, if the protagonist (or charming side character) is weirdly charismatic, roguishly handsome, and with a heart of gold, chances are the creator was inspired by Inigo's legacy.

the massive misunderstandings of the dragonborn's original history. Thanks to anti-Thalmor sentiments long after the Second Great War, Nebarra was deemed as a traitor figure to the Dragonborn, but this sentiment was overturned centuries after uncovering contemporaries' journal entries on their friendship

when you ask someone who they think Sir Kaidan was to the dragonborn, there's an equal chance of them firmly believing he was their lover, platonic best friend, or loyal but professional lieutenant. they will have reams of evidence to back it up, no matter which stance they take.

many who have felt that they never perfectly fit into the demands of their faith or community, not just bosmer, resonating with Auri's story. realizing that while they may be an outlier in their own eyes, they can still do a lot of good in the world, and that has to count for something.

common sayings based on (real or not) stories of the followers. if a place is crowded, it's common to joke, "guess the dragonborn's in town."

just. yeah.
