ok tma/flight rising fans discussion time. which fear do you think each deity/flight best represents
like some are super easy to categorize, ie Ice is 100% Hunt, but some are tricky to think about
I’d say Plague could be both Corruption/Flesh, but leans more toward Flesh because of the whole “keep evolving and changing to survive/survival of the fittest” elements
Shadow may seem to be Dark on the surface but I’d go out on a limb and say it’s more Stranger? Like the whole trickery stuff is more in line with it and their elemental holiday is literally a circus too
Lightning I think hits the middle point between Buried and Vast pretty well. Buried because of the whole Work Till You Drop part and the pressure from that, and Vast because it’s literally called The Shifting Expanse. Plus do you think one dragon matters in mr Stormdad’s plans? Very Vast stuff
Wind is also probably Vast but I feel like if they got evil with it they could probably be Spiral too y’know?
Arcane and Light are both Eye but in different ways I think. Arcane is obviously more about research or I Have To Know side of it, but I think Light is more about the actual watching part (like how the Lightweaver just kinda. watched the whole emperor thing happen and didn’t do anything about it really)
I think Earth might be End? I’m gonna be real I don’t know enough about Earth’s lore to make a call here I just think the aesthetics match up
The ones I’m having a hard time classifying are Fire, Nature, and Water bc they don’t really match up with any of the fears in a major way. Like yeah you could probably say Fire = Desolation and Nature = Hunt but I feel like there’s more to the fears and the flights than that, and that’s just a very surface level take?? Idk

The people are wrong actually, I think Stormcatcher does not drink copious amount of coffee, but rather just straight up eats batteries.

for that one oc ask - GHOST and DESIRE for uhhhhhhh Melliwyk! I know very little about your OCs yet so i'm tempted to just keep throwing asks at you but I don't wanna overwhelm lol
hi hello first of all please do feel free to send more... if the spirit moves you...... 👀
ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?
When asked about the scars up her arm, Melliwyk usually explains it very briefly as the result of a lab accident when she was still a student, laughing off almost dying and how the discharge launched her across the room, but it also launched her academic and research career. What she does not generally explain is that the other thing that happened was her then-roommate happened to walk back in unexpectedly at the exact wrong moment, got caught in the face with magically charged electrified shrapnel, and was permanently blinded... the incident may have accelerated Mel's arcane studies, but it ended Amberly's.
It set the tone for the rest of her career. Even having exploded, her experiment was highly impressive and promising, especially from someone so young and still early in her arcane studies, so it opened up a lot of opportunities for her-- and on the other hand she got a reputation for keeping an eye on the bigger picture and not letting personal risk or others' feelings get in the way of meaningful progress, a reputation she leaned into an benefited heavily from despite the fact that Amberly getting caught in the accident in their dorm wasn't even really her fault. There were lots of other times in the years following where she was more than a little flippant with risk management or others' wellbeing in the pursuit of her work. It got her a lot of professional respect, and mostly her reputation ensured others kept themselves out of risk around her; she got really used to not thinking about anybody else whenever she did anything, for better and for worse.
This was decades ago, now; for most of that time, she's consciously thought about it very little-- and definitely less and less over the years (although it subconsciously has affected her decisions sometimes, like moving out into the middle of nowhere alone to get into weirder and possibly more volatile experimentation). She's been thinking about it a lot lately, though. Adventuring is the first time in a long time she's had to live and collaborate with others, and relies on mutual trust for her own survival. Doing Hero Shit in the real world, with real people enduring real suffering, has also put her back in touch with her humanity after spending so much time in magical academia and then total isolation. She's had to think, a lot, about how many people have been hurt or killed by things like not barring the door while working on something dangerous, or thoughtlessly drawing aggro to an already injured NPC, or failing to safeguard her loved ones after knowing that her becoming an enemy of the state would put a target on their backs as well. She liked Amberly. She hadn't meant to hurt her, and hadn't even meant to be careless about her safety; it worries her how hard it seems to be for her to protect others from her own actions, even when she wants to-- how dangerous she is to the people she cares about. She's not entirely sure what she can do about it other than isolate herself again, and that isn't really an option anymore.
desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?
Oh man this is a really interesting question for her right now! For her entire adult life, her greatest desire was to either reinvent or rediscover artificing, which was a millennia-lost art in her world; she kind of figured, you know, either she'd do that under less fraught circumstances, or it would be a lifelong pursuit that she could work to further but would never personally live to see the end of, so, honestly she's feeling more than a little unmoored right now in terms of, you know... personal goals..... entire life's purpose...... that kind of thing. Fortunately she's still got the broader overarching desire for discovery in general to keep her going, and slightly-more-dubiously-fortunately the Ongoing Adventure demands all of her attention right now (more, I would almost argue, than she has to give...), but Being An Artificer when that was a theoretical/ experimental field has been so central to her identity for so long that I think if you asked her right now what she desires most she'd get really stressed and existential about it, lmao. She hasn't had a chance to figure it out yet! I mean, of course, there's always going to be an answer, and right now it's probably 'to destroy the sorcerer king [our bbeg]' for various plot and personal reasons-- but even that, you know, I think she'd be uncomfortable and dissatisfied with the thing she wants the most being 'to beat the bad guy' instead of something more personal and/or interesting.
ask about my OCs!!
#THANK YOU GOOD QUESTIONS!!#mel remembering that she really does care about other people has been good for her as a person but it hasn't FELT good lmao#melliwyk: [alignment shift from ch. neutral to ch. good]#melliwyk's brain: hey remember how many lives you've ruined getting where you are today. and you weren't even trying to. lol#our druid's entire home island getting firebombed traces back to melliwyk meeting him and taking him with her on her journeys#she's too sensible to Blame Herself for the actions of evil people following a chain of events she never could have predicted--#but she is. Aware. of the fact that if zhartook hadn't met her his home wouldn't have been destroyed and his people nearly wiped out#she's DEEPLY aware of xander getting hit by the retaliatory AOE spell meant for melliwyk and then dying at her feet#because she was more than capable of getting him hurt but completely unequipped to help him. of course#high level arcanist NPC who knows her by reputation: [expresses surprise at her caring or having objections--#-- to a secret construction project where citizens are being enslaved and cruelly and ruthlessly worked to death by summoned devils]#melliwyk: [desperately wracking her brain for whether she was ever really THAT heartless? surely not? surely.......]#(she was NOT ;n; but now that's A Thing she's gotta think about)#... anyway sorry this is so fucking long including the tags I am physically incapable of being succinct dfgkjhffkdgf#ask thing#my OCs#melliwyk

Very Brief Clans Overview
Figured I should have a sooort of explanation post so people don't get too lost regarding lore things, especially because I hope to actually draw out more Lore Important Things at some point or another hehe.
This is just a quick breakdown of each clan in development so far. The titles of each will have a link to their tag on my blog if you'd like to view posts pertaining to That Clan!
Starting, of course, with:
Tumblr media
The Incompetence
Nestled in a gorge along the Scarred Wastelands' shores, the Incompetence is a ragtag bunch of losers led by an arrogant fae named Patience. Said fae is hellbent on the idea of Fate, claiming he is the universe's specialiest boy of all time, and any that follow him are special as well. The dragons who come here do so under the assumption they are not fit to survive in the Wastelands' treacherous landscape. They are the weak, old, and battered. Surely they are not meant to see another day in this cruel existence, and they will die solemn, bitter, and alone. ...But due to some miracle, they've all gone on to live peacefully here. Together. Alive.
Perhaps there is something to our wacky leader's obsession with Fate...
[many more clans below!]
Tumblr media
The Loyalty
And these are the antagonists.
The Loyalty is an old clan with a history spanning back centuries. Born out of nothing but unadulterated respect and servitude to the Plaguebringer, the Loyalty is a ruthless place that has only worsened over time, and any who disrespect them will meet the cruelest of punishments.
While originally a respectable bunch, the lot has grown merciless over the past few decades, with worse and worse dragons taking the mantle of leader. Our current leader is Cletus, a vindictive aberration dead set on making the Loyalty as vicious as possible.
All I'm saying is, steer clear of the Wyrmwound. There are beasts under there.
Tumblr media
Wandering Threads
The Threads are a traveling group of veilspun led by Nootka. The swarm acts as one massive family, both literally and metaphorically (because nearly everyone involved is part of a big polygamous relationship), and honestly they're just having a great time.
Well, like, save for one horrible encounter with the Loyalty that happened recently. But don't worry about it.
Tumblr media
Shadows of Doubt
You wanna commit thievery and have it go so wrong we start replacing our blood with liquid gold? Well come on over to the Foxfire Brambles and join us Shadows! ...Uh. I mean. Actually, don't worry about the liquid gold blood thing. Only Penumbra did that. Gloom, the other leader, is very normal in comparison. And disregard the infestation of bug fae. We're pretty normal here.
We just like to commit theft for these two silly siblings. Don't even worry about it.
Tumblr media
Acolytes of the Arcanist
A mad-scientist prophet in the Starwood Strand has decided that the Arcanist's goals of reaching the heavens and controlling the universe sound really great, actually! Why don't we do that together? Through the limitless bounds of science, we will reach the stars and own them ourselves.
And won't you join us? The stars in your wings shine so... beautifully... :)
Tumblr media
[REDACTED]
Everyone in this clan is canonically dead by the present day. All you need to know about it is that we tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it didn't even matter. Arcane and Light just can't get along for more than two minutes.
(we started a civil war not clickbait gone wrong. etc.)
Tumblr media
The Adherence
Nolan is NOT the leader of the Adherence. I just don't have the leader(s) yet. So for now he's representing this place. Which is fitting enough, honestly.
The Adherence is a city of pearlcatchers that is currently flourishing somewhere in the Sunbeam Ruins. Don't ask me where, exactly. I just know it's in there. They run a very strict society where only light-inborn pearlcatchers can garner any amount of respect. Should you be born of a different flight, or worse, a different breed... You may come in, but you'll get a lot of scorn for it.
Unless you're an imperial. Then you're out of luck. Except for this really nice, not at all suspicious guy named Nolan who is offering you a peaceful sanctuary if you'll just follow him this way.
Tumblr media
Excessive Library Damage
Ok, that's not the name of the clan. It just doesn't really have a name. Not yet.
Anyway, this is a crew of Aethers that crash-landed into the Wastelands, managing to break right through the surface of Sornieth's soil and into an ancient, abandoned library. Likely filled to the brim with incredible history of Sornieth that has been long since forgotten. And countless priceless artifacts.
...Oh. Nevermind. Oh, it's... it's all gone.
------------------------------------------------
SMALL GROUPS WHO AREN'T REALLY FULL-FLEDGED CLANS (YET, IN SOME CASES) BUT ARE STILL WORTH MENTIONING:
Tumblr media
Twisted Waters
A pirate dies. Then she un-dies. It turns out the eldritch creature in the ocean, who is interested primarily in spiting her husband, has chosen this pirate to become queen of an underwater kingdom. And that pirate MUST get EVERYONE in the kingdom to love the eldritch beast unconditionally.
Because while the Tidelord may have abandoned you, Twist never will <3
Tumblr media
Snow Shower Town
There's like multiple different plots happening here. But what's important is that this is MOSTLY based in a small town within the Icefields, wherein a bunch of dragons of varying flights are chilling and hanging out while trying not to die in the regular blizzards.
Also there's like. An ice witch nearby, but you can ignore her, she's totally not important.
Tumblr media
William's Day Out
AHH. The Horrors...
William is a normal guy. The haunted baby is a normal baby. Lutka is a normal guy. The four siblings are all normal. Don't worry about it. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE WISPWILLOW GROVE. I mean what who said that
Tumblr media
Girl's Night
Hey, what happens in girls night stays in girls night, okay?
------------------------------------------------
EXTRAS
Out in the Worldedge Wetlands there's a very sad old man and an old woman who goes "take better care of yourself, old man" and he goes "no i'm depressed." There are vaguely understood nature clan(s?) nearby.
I have in mind a group of Coatls who live in the shadow territory somewhere, but it's VERY loosely defined.
Freaky undead thing hanging out in the rubble of the Hewn City is freaky and undead (NOT an emperor this time)
There's a wanted criminal wandering around in the wastelands but you can ignore him. The person who matters is the Woman he has convinced to join his cause and has since begun eating people
And that's all for now! check back for inevitably 1 million updates.

“Bastian, look out!” Raya yelled as she saw a Worm Cultist sneak up on him.
But it was too late.
The next thing she saw was him on the ground. Instinctively running over to him to see if he was alright.
Darien noticed the commotion and rushed over to where they were shielding them both. However, when Raya noticed the mages wounds, all of her anger manifested as something. ((placeholder cant figure out a good way to describe the arcanist ultimate.))
…..
“Rye? Is that you?” Bastian asked “Did we die?”
“No, you are not dead, and neither is my daughter. Thanks to the Sunburst’s child.” Azura responded
Bastian blinked “…. Who are you?”
“I am Azura, queen of dawn and dusk. I do not have much time. I need you to promise me something, Son of Akatosh.”
Bastian blinked “well that confirms some really specific dreams Raya has been having.” he mused internally
“I need you to protect Raya from herself. I know what is going to happen, do not let her destroy herself because of the Sunfiire.”
Bastian blinked, then nodded, “Are you talking about Darien? Or Meridia?”
Azura sighed “I am talking about both. Meridia and Molag Bal have made the three of you pawns in their war. I have not seen such offenses since the false gods of the Tribunal killed my son, and tried to kill my daughter when she was still a babe. The three of you need to stay together, and look out for one another.”
((placeholder))

find the word tag
tagged by @ahordeofwasps a little while back, thank you!
my words were shield, yield, field, and wield
no pressure tagging @cherrybombfangirlwrites @serenanymph and @annachronisms. your words are golden, glass, grab, and gain
shield
“Derradin shield us, is that what I think it is?” [Aliyne] gasped. Leshanna grabbed at her with tight, terrified hands. “I don’t think Derradin is going to be enough,” she rasped out. “That’s a dragon!”
yield
“It’s not that it is difficult,” said Zinby. “It’s that it could be easier. And faster. And yield more results for less effort.” He chuckled. “If there’s one thing we wizards love, it’s efficiency. None of that witchy wastage of arcane effort.”
field
Rivaanlehnim huffed, expressing his disinterest in infernii politics quite succinctly. He went back to the metal arch that hung on the wall, criss-crossed with woven threads of copper and humming with power. He tapped a thread with one talon and observed the blue sparks that emerged, reading them as easily as Sorrow read salacious novels. “The interference is of a strength I ordinarily associate only with powerful anti-scrying charms,” Rivaanlehnim said. “Or those possessing distinctive anti-magic properties in general, although it is not quite a nullifying field.”
wield
Vren thought he had plenty enough knives and hands to wield them with already, but a good mercenary didn’t turn down gifts from the one paying for the job. Not when the one paying had access to Infernal magical artefacts.

Fated Fortune
Words: 4306
[Ao3]
Canon typical violence.
@tes-summer-fest ‘s day 1 prompt: arcane/beast
(Not sure how much more content I can chug out this week but this was super fun!)
Dungeon delving will never be a safe profession. Delving into daedric ruins even less so. Perhaps fate will be kind to the trio of thieves spurred by desperation. Perhaps not.
(Set in Skyrim era but with ESO content thrown in for spice.)

Romantic Snippet Tag
I was tagged by @moondust-bard ty for the tag!
Rules: Describe the main romance of your wip in a 1-4 sentence snippet.
I'll be tagging @florraisons @memento-morri-writes @authoralexharvey @thevampireconcept
I'm going to cheat a little and share snippets for each wip
Fated:
He looked at me, and for a moment I didn’t feel so awful anymore. For a moment, he didn’t hate me. I was his, and he was mine. And then he met my eye, recognition sinking in and that jaded look returning to his face, turning him back into a stranger. My Wes died the moment he looked at me
Arcanist's Gambit:
“You’re too good to me.” The words come out strained, mangled. 
He gave my hand a small squeeze and rested his head on my lap. “I want to be better.”
Sign of the Times:
“Fuad,” Rowan whispered, hardly believing their eyes. 
“Rowan?” she replied, similarly overtaken by disbelief. 
“It’s you.”
“It’s me.”
Bloodied Hands, Tainted Hearts:
“He’s flirting, Augustus,” I said, my face still firmly in the pillow, “Leonard doesn’t have a respectable bone in his body.” 
“Maybe so, but I do have-”
“Leonard.” Both Augustus and I chastised him in tandem, though Augustus’ voice was notably much higher pitched.
Starcrossed:
 Inside the bag was indeed a shitty, made-to-order gas station sandwich. Extra vinegar, no tomatoes. Exactly how he liked them. He had no idea Nova actually remembered what he ate. No one ever had.
Darkest Depths:
The Horror looked to me, uncertain as to what I wanted from It. That was the one thing I would never grow used to with It; asking permission.
