This Is More Or Less The Plot To The Comics The Stuff Of Legend

blocking s*baciel shippers in 2024 is free therapy

in love with the idea of the db's followers being as remembered in history as the db themself. imagine:

engineers, for generations, mumbling the formula called 'Remiel's Constant' under their breaths as they develop machinery, because it's such a foundational discovery on Remiel's part for a new age of engineering

in contrast, future alchemists agonizing over Xelzaz' thousands of alchemical discoveries a night before their finals, bemoaning why he was so diligent in cranking out formula after formula because now they have so much to memorize

historians and casual history buffs alike locked in discourse on whether or not the last prince of the Thalmor actually colluded with the Dragonborn in the Second Great War to help bring down the Dominion, with vaguely-worded correspondence for evidence

adaptations of the tale where every single follower is at least someone's 'blorbo'

the ballad of Inigo the Brave being a cultural touchstone for Khajiit rep and spawning Tamriel's version of the rogue, underdog hero archetype. even when it's a totally fictional work, if the protagonist (or charming side character) is weirdly charismatic, roguishly handsome, and with a heart of gold, chances are the creator was inspired by Inigo's legacy.

the massive misunderstandings of the dragonborn's original history. Thanks to anti-Thalmor sentiments long after the Second Great War, Nebarra was deemed as a traitor figure to the Dragonborn, but this sentiment was overturned centuries after uncovering contemporaries' journal entries on their friendship

when you ask someone who they think Sir Kaidan was to the dragonborn, there's an equal chance of them firmly believing he was their lover, platonic best friend, or loyal but professional lieutenant. they will have reams of evidence to back it up, no matter which stance they take.

many who have felt that they never perfectly fit into the demands of their faith or community, not just bosmer, resonating with Auri's story. realizing that while they may be an outlier in their own eyes, they can still do a lot of good in the world, and that has to count for something.

common sayings based on (real or not) stories of the followers. if a place is crowded, it's common to joke, "guess the dragonborn's in town."

just. yeah.

There are two lions in you.

Maria is my favorite character in Nocturne

There's something so interesting about a young kid being strong enough to live among adults in a world made for and ruled by adults and looking at all the mistakes they make and going "Why do you all suck so much!!??"

She works as an embodiment of the frustration towards adults for failing to create a just world and making you want to fix things with your own hands because you have access to basically as much power as any adult, but still being in that sorta immature state where you don't know exactly how to fix things, so you just rely on the little you know to do it.

Most child characters usually get some sort of mentor to help them avoid falling into the wrong side, but she had her mentor taken from her and now keeps constantly walking on the edge.

She reminds me of Agatha from Paranorman, a reflection of how the harm caused by the incompetence, fear, and selfishness of others (in particular, as she puts it, stupid old men) eventually reaches the ones that are innocent and ends up messing them up as well.

To the point where when she does eventually meet an adult that actually wants to help, the distrust is so big that she can't even listen.

It's just so cool watching her journey, wondering how far she'll go, if she'll go back, if she'll lose herself, what she'll learn, how much she should or should not change, and so on.

What a great character!

Maria Renard had the most justifiable crash out in Castlevania Nocturne actually
