...

And on that note, have a Skyrim meme.

Hey. Hey you. Do you have a Skyrim at home? Like, with your own Dovahkiin and everything? Why not do this meme too, either on your own journal or down in the comments of this one? I'd love to read about your Skybois and Skygurls. That would make me feel just ducky.

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

I'm going by my current Dovahkiin.

1.) Tell us a little bit about your Dragonborn. Who they are, what race they are, you know, the basic stuff.

"Altmer High Mage, Cirrane of the family Aedius, at your service. Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold and Master of the Destruction School. Master Summoner, Master Enchanter, slayer of all who attempt to stand in my way. Should you be foolish enough to try, then I commend your courage. I'll remember your name as my Daedra and my lightning transform you into ash."

2.) What type of person are they? Will they help the helpless, or will they stab someone in the back after getting paid?

Cirrane is... decidedly not a selfless individual. She's very much out for herself in this world. To acquire as much power, influence and coin as she can get her hands on is her primary goal, and out of those three it's magickal power she prizes most. Even her own adopted daughters, Sofie and Lucia, are little more than apprentices to her, someone to pass on her secrets to and continue her work. However, saying that, she will never take on a task that will tie her to someone she cannot outwit or outmaneuver, even if the connection to them would benefit her substantially. Less of being a chess master and more of there being a defiant streak in this one. She's a storm contained in fragile mortal flesh, and any chains she cannot cast off are unwelcome.

Cold-hearted and pragmatic, recklessly arrogant and a touch vain, there's little she won't do if there's something in it for her and she can get away with it. Hates the Thalmor, though. Absolutely loathes them. Kill on sight, no fucks given.

3.) Where does your Dragonborn live? Have they got a nice little house in Whiterun, or the ridiculously expensive manor in Solitude?

The only house she actually bought was Proudspire Manor. She refuses to live anywhere else besides the College. Expensive woman... Oh, she SAYS its to keep an eye on the Thalmor just an hour away, but I'm not sure I fully believe her...

4.) Does your Dragonborn make their own equipment (weapons/armour/potions/enchantments) or are they utterly lazy and keep looting everything they use?

She enchants her own things, but she finds or buys all her potions, and she bought her Master Robes and the to-be-enchanted clothing. However, since she's learned how to dual-enchant items... Well... Let's just say Max Enchantment + weak potions of Enchanting = Destruction magicka cost... 0%... Infinite Destruction spell spam without using glitches, baby. Little need for most potions now-a-days beyond emergency healing.

The clothing she bought? Master Robes of Destruction, a Copper and Ruby Circlet, a Gold Ruby Necklace, a Gold ring, gloves and simple black travel boots. Because vanity dictates if she's gonna slay, she's gonna slay in STYLE.

5.) Did your Dragonborn get married and who was the lucky person? And how did they find married life?

"Hmph. Who has time for such simpering sentiments and limitations? Certainly not I. My apprentices take up enough time as is."

6.) Do you have any favourite Shouts? And any favourite moments using a Shout?

"I will admit that Stormcall has it's charms... The crash and flash of lightning above. The chill of the wind and rain. For all that it is a commonplace thing, the sheer primordial energy of a raging storm is unlike anything in this world... *grins sharply* Did you know that a single bolt of lightning from my Thu'um was enough to strike a dragon out of the sky?"

7.) It happened to us all, the Dragonborn got an early ticket to Sovengarde. So what’s the dumbest way you got yours killed?

When it comes to short cuts, Cirrane may have some tastes when it comes to mountain scaling... Or as the case may be... descending... And a drop by a waterfall was deceptively large... Stupid drops...

8.) Almost done. Did you join any groups? Or did you just run around doing your own thing?

The only group she's officially joined in any serious capacity is the College of Winterhold, where she is Arch-Mage when she's not off adventuring. However, she HAS dipped her hands into the Thieves Guild for... networking... purposes. Only a dip, she assures. I only believe her here because the Thieves Guild is too quiet for her.

9.) Imperial or Stormcloaks? Your thoughts?

Imperial. For me, personally, the Stormcloaks are so short-sighted that it's almost enough to make me rage. Cirrane, however much she despises the Thalmor and their Imperial connections, doesn't hold much hope in Skyrim surviving on it's own. That being said, she refuses to get involved with the conflict.

10.) TAG!

I'm not gonna tag anyone, because HOLY SHIT, I've damn near abandoned this site, and I would have if not for the continued presence of certain people (*coughBavarianZombieBoycough*). So this is mostly for him. :3 Was this all you needed, Mort, or do you want a physical description at some point, too?

Hi, everybody that bothers to remember that I exist! How ya'll doing this fine day?

I apparently haven't added a journal since last year and I haven't done a quiz in even longer, so I thought, why not? I stole this little bad boy from , who stole this from someone else. Please, enjoy as I bombard you with bullshit.

Psycho of the Shadows

For those of you who may be waiting for or at all concerned with news regarding my Skyrim fanfiction, "When the Hero's A Healer", I am sorry to say that I will be discontinuing the series until further notice. I've come to regard much of the material I've previously written with disgust and disappointment as I've learned more about writing technique and developed my original characters (most of which have not yet been introduced) beyond what I had previously. I hope this will not come as too much of a let-down for those of you who actually care, but I will be rebooting the entire fic.

I'll still leave the original chapters up for anyone who wishes to re-read them, but they will be left alone from now on unless I need a reference or base scene. Also, the series will be going under a different name than before. The new title will hence be "Emergence".

Love you all very much and I would like to see if this is still interesting to anyone at all,
Psycho of the Shadow's

P.S. Does anyone think I should submit the new story to a club or something?

Hello, peoples!

I just found out some very interesting things about my mother's family history and it makes me fricken stoked!! Almost all my friends can say they were descended from a particular people or from a particular bloodline. My best friend in the world, , is descended from the Stuart Clan in Ireland; another friend, is part royalty. Several other people have various lineages of importance and, in some way, I felt like the odd one out because of it.

What I just found out is that I'm not descended from a particular person, but 2.

1) William Brewster - I'm not making this up, Monty, Billie. I'm seriously descended from someone named Brewster. William was a political Puritan Separatist born back in 1560 and was one of the people who pushed for the Puritans to leave England behind! He was also one of the figures in the court of Queen Elizabeth up until after Mary was beheaded. His wife was Mary "Mayflower" Wentworth and was the father of 6 children.
           Other descendents include;
                  Julia Child - Chef and tv personality
                  Bing Crosby - Singer and actor
                  Katherine Hepburn - Actress
                  Ernest Lestor Jones - Co-Founder of the American Legion
                  Seth MacFarland - Writer, producer and voice actor
                  Sarah fudging Palin - Urg...
                  Zachary Taylor - 12th President of the U.S.

2) Samuel F. B. Morse - The one of the guys who invented Morse freaking Code...

I'm freaking stoked and I honestly don't care if I'm only from a bastard line or not truly related to them at all. Just the fact that I might be is enough for me to go holy freaking sheet. I'm really freaking happy if you can't tell.

Anyway, enough about that. Just wanted to let people know about some cool news I found out a few hours ago. Night!

Psycho of the Shadows

Just last night, I had a strange dream that left me questioning me sanity. It involves a ship, heavily mutated dogs, normal feral dogs, cute, fluffy puppies, and manages to throw in aliens in a way that makes clear 3 important things. 1) I seem to have a fetish for men having things shoved up their butts in one way or another (given the fact that I write slash, this should come as no surprise, but I've never DREAMED about it before), 2) I've been playing too many RPG's lately, and 3) I should never watch "The Thing" ever again.

It starts off with me in an old Renaissance Italian port town. Real nice place - white marble, wood and limestone structures, healthy green vines and vibrant flowers growing all over the place, a full market place behind me, etc. I'm getting a request from an old artisan to retrieve one of the dogs off an old freighter out in the middle of the ocean. Story is that the thing used to ferry animals from island country to island country, but one day the crew mysteriously vanished, leaving the cargo of canines on board. The ship has since been lost at sea, forever running along its old schedule but never returning to land.

Anyway, I set off, like and idiot, in a one-person boat, riding waves that are three times bigger than I am the whole way. Strange thing is, it's clear and sunny out. I soon find the old boat getting tossed around by the waves, once even leaving the water completely, and in pristine condition for having been abandoned who knows how many years ago in the rough waters. I try to swing around behind it, almost getting washed on board due to the roiling waves, and just barely miss the still-spinning propellers. As soon as I come aboard, I get set upon by a feral dog that it just snapping at my face. Good thing I conveniently have a pistol on me.

From that point on, I don't remember much of the actual dream, only that I'm traveling through the ship, running for my life from feral and mutated dogs that want to eat me. The feral dogs almost always look like some breed of big dog (bloodhound, german shepherd, rottweiler, etc.), while the mutated dogs have no distinct breed but are ugly as sin. You want to know what they looked like?

Ever seen a picture of a cow with two faces?

Think that, but with flexible mouths that stretched almost 90 degrees open like the dogs from RE4 and with teeth that wriggled.

Ugh....

Anyway my bladder wakes me up and, soon after following nature's call, I head back to bed. My dream reboots and I'm back on the freighter, only this time, aliens that look like male human bikers are there and there is a human medic with me. The medic wants to give the aliens a check-up and starts with a prostate examination. I step out to give them some privacy, only to see a german shepherd staring right at me. I reach for my gun, thinking it's another feral, only for the thing to jump out of sight. I follow it like a dumbass to a badly constructed shack in the middle of the boat. The shepherd ducks inside and, crawling to the open door, I peek inside.

I see PUPPIES!!! Big, cuddly, fluffy, playful, adorable, healthy, NORMAL puppies!! I don't remember much of what happens after that, only that I'm in the shack with puppies crawling all over me, licking my face and hands and plopping themselves in my lap until they all start getting tired and I put the last one to sleep. Then I'm feeding the mother (the german shepherd I followed) some dinner and I decide to call her River. Then I wake up.

Very interesting dream... One last thing.



Later!
Psycho of the Shadows
