Ashlander Lullaby 🎵

Happy extremely belated Valentine's Day! I've been struggling to draw these characters of mine for awhile now, so I thought what better way to figure them out than animating them.

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Tumblr was one of the best things that have ever happened in my life.

My whole past life I've been a loner with my thoughts and obsessions. I felt like there could never be a person with similar artistic sensitivity to mine - and artistic sensitivity means a world to me.

But turned out that there were - they were just far far away :D

Even though it's most likely that I'll never meet with people I got to know there they've took my life to the next level - made me fulfilled as an artist and a content creator as I never was before.

I thank for reblogs and likes and the wonderful tags and comments - I've read ALL of them <3

I wish all of you a nice day :3

Autumn is coming, graveyards are becoming increasingly interesting places to study.

Evening falls. The atmosphere would be almost idyllic if it wasn't for the stench of a decomposing cat.

My Dunmer kiddo in a scarf doing some shady things again :)

Theoretically this is my OC, but gives very "Neloth" vibes (I guess I need to give him more distinctive features in the future).

So go on, you can think this is young Neloth.

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

Godric on the way to destroy his hands 🫠 My little gravedigger does believe there's something inherently wrong with bodies that departed from the souls. His hands seem never to be cleansed enough after touching the dead >: [to all ppl with OCD: read abt it a bit I'm not sure how accurate that stuff is, I've never had urges to clean myself excessively to that extent, so forgive me for portraying it in a wrong way]

Orcs aren't just all about rocks and smashing their enemies into a bloody pulp. They can sometimes get romantic.

Weasel OC inspired by Polish traditional costumes

Aryon is underappreciated. Such a cool character.

I totally agree with that (:
