Aryon Is Underappreciated. Such A Cool Character.

Yes, I'm one of those pampered snobs whom you can't please with ANY tea.

Drovas deserved this.

Reblogging because I've added a note (it's this with one " * ") that mushrooms are not the best source of protein irl. Should have added it earlier, now I feel bad for spreading misinformation ):

I'm sorry.

Eat a lot of legumes and take care <3

I know that nobody asked, but here's some Telvanni lore for all the foodies.

Before you begin this culinary journey, check out this post about ash yams it's essential.

-----------------------------

Telvanni Cuisine

It’s obvious that Telvanni have an extensive knowledge of fungi.  After all, they live in huge mushrooms and collect and plant numerous species from all across the Tamriel to use them in their potions. It goes without saying that their cuisine is also quite fungal. The commonfolk at Telvanni settlements as most of the Dunmer source their protein both from fungi* and insect meat. But Telvanni nobles love nurturing peculiar worldviews and traditions that differentiate them from other races - or even other Dunmer. One of them is their distaste for anything that doesn’t grow in soil. They frown upon hunter traditions of Ashlanders and stock-raising of house Redoran and regard them as “primitive” in contrast to the delicate art of growing fungi. The alchemy ingredients are an obvious exception from this rule, but in general as their occupations don’t usually include menial work, their light and low-calorie cuisine perfectly matches their lifestyle. This resulted in traditional cuisine of the nobility being solely plant-, or more specifically, mushroom-based**, that contrasts sharply with the cuisine of Skyrim that is rich in venison and other animal-based foods***. Noble Telvanni shun debilitating ingredients such as alcohol and moon sugar in their everyday cuisine, as keeping their minds sharp is their main priority. In order to get an indulgent sweet taste marshmerrow is used instead. Telvanni rarely import vast quantities of vegetables from other provinces as house Hlaalu does. They use commonly grown foods like saltrice, ash yams or mushrooms as the base ingredients of the dishes. In some aspects they prefer to stick to the Dunmer traditions. The nobles, though, indulge themselves in expensive imported berries - not only because of their magic-enhancing abilities but also because of their extravagant taste. As the Telvanni ranks feature numerous alchemists the import of alchemical ingredients is obviously very common. Telvanni chefs gradually incorporated some of the exotic spices into traditional cuisine. Especially valued are the most characterful of them that fancy up the bland taste of mushrooms, such as juniper, ginseng or garlic****. * In real life mushrooms are a rather poor source of protein compared to legumes like beans and lentil. But since there are no legumes in TES universe (at least as far as I know) let's suppose there are some protein-rich mushrooms Telvanni can plant. ** It’s also worth mentioning that I’m a Telvanni-fixated vegan ass myself so that’s a more probable reason why I made my beloved house also vegan xD *** A lovely example of that contrast you can encounter in @thana-topsy ‘s fanfic “Breathing Water”. This would nicely explain Neloth’s preference for apple cabbage stew. **** This recipe for example resembles Telvanni cuisine, it was one of the inspirations from my imaginary dishes above.

Above I’ve come up with some examples of what noble Telvanni would eat on a daily basis.

Thanks for reading that and take care :3

Even master Telvanni wizards need tea breaks.

I suppose the tea time is the only time when master Neloth can be sunny.

Attack on @snowy-weather !!!!!

(and her cute Dunmer OC Mirni)

Oh my gosh I'd love to see the fellowship at a gas station! Merry and Pippin would get the weirdest and most tooth rotting snacks. Boromir (ultimate cool dad friend) is staring out the window getting angrier and angrier as he watches all the transport trucks that he just spent 4 hours passing drive ahead of them. Frodo got left behind because while Boromir was rushing everyone to the car, he was still standing at the travel book shelves, reading the sumeries for every single one trying to pick a good one for the rest of the trip. Sam was waiting with him.Gandalf didn't notice that they weren't there because he was asleep in the car and no one wanted to wake him.

And Pippin and Merry see a cute dog in a motorcycle side-car, and after jumping in to pet it, they get accidentally kidnapped by a biker gang, who don't realize they're there until three states later

neloth is papa smurf................................

Omg thanks for sharing this answer. I was so in awe of your crazy use of color, gave those drawings of elves a really expressionistic / otherwordly (or psychodelic? I guess) feel and I often found myself scrolling the older drawings on your blog :3

You just reminded me that I used to rely on like 10 classical drawings + photos to pick my color palette for my older "wizard in an armchair" drawings, now I got used to skipping this part unfortunately lol. This post gave me so much color inspiration again, thank you <3

im in love with the way you colour so so muchhh😭 do yew have some sort of method or just wing it?

thank you! 🧡 well, honestly, i don't think im on the level of being able to just very easily wing it; guess im close but there's some work to be done for me to be fully satisfied w the way i color . however i do have a few methods lul obviously the basic knowledge of color theory helps .. color wheel/triangle , opposite colors and alldat. try to keep those things in mind (the superiority of green-red / blue-orange / yellow-purple etc) if u wanna learn to use colors well i think that using limited palettes always helps ; PRO tip from me is to use the ever living fack of the web colors palette from krita im obsessed w it . 

here r some palettes picked from my art. i recently have started to try and keep the colors limited to some degree and not go ham on the amount of shades i have in one drawing

this is showing calmer drawings & brighter ones (ones that ‘stand out’ more) but its all about what kinda ‘mood’ you wanna show in the art u make ...and lol ....... another fun thing u can try and do is colorpick older/classical paintings if the colors stand out to you. i have a few palettes that i just colorpicked from older art that stood out to me w the shades but i cannot for the life of me remember what paintings i looked at LMFAO; so have this as an example

I want to switch places with her
