1, 7 and 17 for the ask meme!

Lets go ahead and do this with my Telvanni Twins; Lorana and Brisala Alithar!

How are their parents? Are they good? Are they terrible? Are they dead?

If they're not physically dead, they are dead in the eyes of the Twins.

They were of a lower level family name, and thus were kind of in servitude to a higher level Telvanni family. Twins are a rare birth and their parents used this to leverage themselves to others and ingratiate themselves by flaunting their children around.

But also as twin children, it was a double package to try and make the two of them fight each other to ensure the strongest one would carry the family name. They thankfully never got that aggressive against each other, and combined the two of them realized what their parents were trying to do.

In an very long and bloody and traumatic story that I will have to write out one day, Lorana and Brisala with their childhood friend Adana manage to kill the higher up Telvanni family that had been commanding them since birth. Once that was done, the Twins took over their family's assets and lands and banished their parents. If they so dared to return, they would be made into fertilizer for their new Towers.

There was no parental love in this family. Only what could be used and benefited from these children who were seen as good luck in the eyes of others.

How easy is it to make them cry?

Their tears have long since dried up.

Anything that could've been used to make them cry has either been locked deep and far away, or has already died and made them cry.

But if we must answer: it must be an earth-shattering revelation that shakes them to their core to make them cry once again.

For Lorana, it was the reveal of a long lost love whom she thought lost in the burning remains of his family's farmland. Returned with a different name, different personality, and a warning of a Writ being issued to one of the Twin's name while dressed in Morag Tong uniform. While in the family tomb where his sister and parents were last laid to rest.

After all these years, she thought him dead and gone and her fault for bringing ruin to his family and now he's back? Never telling her he was alive? And just waltzing back into their lives to casually say his organization was paid to kill one of them and then disappearing again. It was all too much and she wailed in that tomb until she was hoard and dry of tears again.

For Brisala it's harder. She last cried when she wasn't able to save her best friend Vinya. Who was carrying a child, Adana's. Despite all her knowledge of necromancy and the manipulation of life energy she could not hold onto the fading bit of life that was practically in her hands. She watched it fade and slip away like water between her fingers.

To have the knowledge and ability, and sacrificing a bit of your own life to try and keep this one alive, just this one please. And watch it still fade away.

Every since then Brisala has spared no more tears. There shan't ever be anymore tears, not while she still stand. And even beyond the point where her mortal body can stand. She'll make sure there will be nothing left to cause her sister and friends anymore tears.

Do they have any pets?

Oh yes plenty! Need some to keep the sanity in check.

Lorana has a whole flock of bantam guar. Of every color and size and personality. Every day she goes out and tends to them herself. There is a name for each and every one of them too, and the flock just keeps growing somehow but she does not mind. They're so cute and sweet, and remind her of happier times.

Brisala only has one that manages to stick around. A tuxedo vvardvark named Arvek who has one braincell and he left that one back at home. A bit dumb but really cuddly, had a bad habit of eating the mushroom chips Brisala has for herself. But he's very cute and very warm so Brisala enjoys his company.

Song of the day

A deep dive into a glimpse of life from an omniscient observing perspective. Perfect for after a spliff when you want to start your out of body relaxation and raise your vibrations

Hispanic Heritage Month: Literary Fiction Picks

It Would Be Night in Caracas by Karina Sainz Borgo, Elizabeth Bryer (Translation)

In Caracas, Venezuela, Adelaida Falcon stands over an open grave. Alone, except for harried undertakers, she buries her mother–the only family Adelaida has ever known. Numb with grief, Adelaida returns to the apartment they shared. Outside the window that she tapes shut every night—to prevent the tear gas raining down on protesters in the streets from seeping in. When looters masquerading as revolutionaries take over her apartment, Adelaida resists and is beaten up. It is the beginning of a fight for survival in a country that has disintegrated into violence and anarchy, where citizens are increasingly pitted against each other. But as fate would have it, Adelaida is given a gruesome choice that could secure her escape. Filled with riveting twists and turns, and told in a powerful, urgent voice, It Would Be Night in Caracas is a chilling reminder of how quickly the world we know can crumble.

The Lost Book of Adana Moreau by Michael Zapata

In 1929 in New Orleans, a Dominican immigrant named Adana Moreau writes a science fiction novel. The novel earns rave reviews, and Adana begins a sequel. Then she falls gravely ill. Just before she dies, she destroys the only copy of the manuscript. Decades later in Chicago, Saul Drower is cleaning out his dead grandfather’s home when he discovers a mysterious manuscript written by none other than Adana Moreau. With the help of his friend Javier, Saul tracks down an address for Adana’s son in New Orleans, but as Hurricane Katrina strikes, they must head to the storm-ravaged city for answers. What results is a brilliantly layered masterpiece—an ode to home, storytelling and the possibility of parallel worlds.

Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea, Enrique Hubbard Urrea (Translator)

Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican village and dreams about her father, who journeyed to the United States to find work. Recently, it has dawned on her that he isn't the only man who has left town. In fact, there are almost no men in the village--they've all gone north. While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven men--her own "Siete Magníficos"--to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over. Filled with unforgettable characters and prose as radiant as the Sinaloan sun, Into the Beautiful North is the story of an irresistible young woman's quest to find herself on both sides of the fence.

Conquistadora by Esmeralda Santiago

As a young girl growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who traveled there with Ponce de León. And in handsome twin brothers Ramón and Inocente—both in love with Ana—she finds a way to get there. She marries Ramón, and in 1844, just eighteen, she travels across the ocean to a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited on the island. Ana faces unrelenting heat, disease and isolation, and the dangers of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of running Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil War breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda’s slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own. And when at last Ana falls for a man who may be her destiny—a once-forbidden love—she will sacrifice nearly everything to keep hold of the land that has become her true home. This is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where human passions and cruelties collide: thrilling history that has never before been brought so vividly and unforgettably to life.

pinterest | connections | facts

Was born and raised in Briar Ridge. She has a twin brother and had an older sister. Her sister passed away when Kira was 17.

Was always the shy, quiet kid. Banked on having her brother there and usually just met friends because they were his friends.

As she got into high school and found drama club, she came out of her shell a little more. She had friends of her own and found an outlet to gain some confidence. It was from this that she met her first boyfriend, Marcus Bishop.

From the time Kira was a baby, her grandmother had owned “business name” and had run it with Kira’s aunt. Kira worked there from 16 and even though she took a break when she left for college, she worked there every summer. It was decided that as she loved it so much, and if she got a good degree, then the shop would eventually pass down to Kira.

She learnt the business inside out, dedicating as much time as she could to it and once her grandmother was ready to retire, she handed over the lease, keys and company registration. The shop is Kira’s baby and as much as she is probably a workaholic, she loves coming with new flavours and ideas for the shop. 

Although thriving professionally, following her and Marcus’ breakup, she did retreat a little into the shy, reserved person she was as a child. She comes into her own in the shop, but outside of it, she takes a while to warm up and open up to new people.

Hasn’t really dated much since her break up when she was 24 and is absolutely terrified of getting hurt again. She hasn’t had anything serious since this.

Quick facts/headcanons

if it isn’t some kind of contact sport, she isn’t doing it. The exception is the occasional hiit class.

Fucking loves a cardigan

Does a crossword everyday 

Her favourite film is Anastasia and she listens to the soundtrack whenever she is working on new flavours of ice cream.

Is genuinely scared of becoming lactose intolerant.

Once got into an argument when drunk because a woman in a club said she didn’t like Harry Potter.

Goes to a drama club to try and regain some of her confidence.

Plays guitar and has a nice singing voice

I don’t really have anything to say about it but I’ve been watching Adana’s and enjoying it so far.

Mmmm, Ji Sung back in his gothic repertoire but this time they are twins!!! Sandwich!

6 and 10 for an oc of your choosing!

Hi hi, thanks for the ask! I'm going to mix it up and go with my one of my Telvanni Twins, Lorana Alithar!

Based off this ask meme.

6. If you could give them one modern amenity, what would you give them and why?

I saw this answer and immediately knew what to give her. And I'm a little embarrassed to share because this modern amenity is a side hobby of mine that I enjoy using.

For context, Lorana Alithar is a Telvanni Master. Like all Masters, they are deep into research and have lots of data to store and organize. Her specialization is memories and memory stones. How to create new memory stones, how memories are stored and formed, neurological and meta-physical connections of them, etc, etc. She doesn't have the same perfect memory as an Altmer, but through her research and magic she has achieved a similar result. Even so, she is one if not the only mage she knows that is doing focused studies into memories and there is a lot of data and notes to organize.

So what better tool to give her to put in data that can search and filter them than an excel sheet.

It would be like a whole different kind of magic to her. Able to put in all the data she wants and have special commands to highlight, filter, and organize them based on categories requested and BAM there it is. She'd liken it to Dwemer technology and magic but not quite.

All this to say that this was a long winded answer to me saying I want to give Lorana a computer and let her go off.

10. What's a seemingly minor decision they made that wound up majorly impacting their life?

In Lorana's youth, she was an annoying Telvanni brat that thought she was better than anyone else and snubbed outsiders. Which is to say, she was incredibly sheltered but also neglected by the adults in her life and just wandered around between teachers and made her own conclusions about people based on her lessons.

So when her friend Adana asked Lorana and her sister Brisala to go with him to their mutual friends farm in some part of Hlaalu providence, she didn't know if she wanted to.

And she was glad she did, because it was the start of a very cute and life changing meeting where Lorana met a sweet farmboy (brother to their mutual friend) who was her first crush and helped her open up and bond outside of her immediate family.

Who also when his family and sister were murdered because of a Telvanni plot, it ripped Lorana into pieces.

And when he reappeared, aged and jaded and full of trauma and rage, decades later it reopened wounds in Lorana and a now long journey of reconnecting and healing.

All because she tried to make friends outside of the Telvanni circle.
