hiii I'm iggy! I go by he/they and I'm 26 y/o. this is just my Elder Scrolls and otherwise medieval fantasy-related blog. I'll just be posting art and writing and whatnot here, we're just here to have fun!

there may be NSFW here occasionally so please 18+ only thanks.

of the Elder Scrolls games I've played Arena, Morrowind, Oblivion, Oblivion Remastered, and Skyrim, and hope to try Daggerfall and ESO soon. I'd say I'm still an apprentice lorehead cuz a lot of that shit just goes right over my head but I love learning about the world of Nirn! I may have started as a skybaby but I've paid my elder scrolls dues I think.

currently working on a novelization fic regarding the story of Oblivion. I'm writing AND illustrating the thing cuz I can. if you're into that kinda thing hang out, I'll be posting updates here as it progresses. it's HoK x Martin Septim of a slow burn variety ft. my main ES guy, Waelin. you can read it here by searching the #my writing tag or you can read it on ao3!

i just tag things according to their respective media but here's a couple others specific to my blog:

my artwork - all my own drawings

my writing - all my own writing (usually WIPs of my fic)

stupid - all my own memes

waelin OC - anything related to my main TES guy, who is the HoK in my fic. I've other TES characters but he's my fav (you can find the others under the tags Irvaryn OC and Do'zharo OC)

check out my blorbos on toyhouse!!!!

other fantasy series I've enjoyed include Dark Souls and Legend of Zelda, and beyond fantasy some of my other favs include Portal, Silent Hill, and Katamari. I hope to get into stuff like Kingdom Come once I've waned from my ES brainrot.

you can also find me on instagram, bluesky, and I run an etsy where I sell my original art in the form of stickers, shirts, and prints.

hope ya like what I got! β˜†

you guys already know who its gonna be...

Waelin x Martin Septim (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)
The Eternal Champion, Waelin, bears a sworn and unending duty to the Empire, to Tamriel and the world of Nirn herself. All he has ever known is responsibility and sacrifice, of a life marked by heroism and devotion to his Emperor... Is tasked to find, rescue, and protect Martin Septim, priest of Akatosh and unknowing bastard heir to the Ruby Throne and the final entry in the long line of the dragon-blooded Septim dynasty. Their fondness for one another comes all too easily. Waelin is almost immediately smitten with the priest, enamored by his kind heart and sweet words. The feelings are soon returned by Martin, his interest bolstered by the devotion displayed by the Champion during their time together. They grow a dependency to one another, as the task of ending the Oblivion Crisis falls on their shoulders alone. But having been operating under an honor-bound knightly code his entire life, the idea of falling in love with the Emperor's son is regarded with great shame in Waelin's mind. But no matter how he tries to thwart his own feelings, he could not even once bring himself to resist Martin's advances. Their love is an uneasy one in the beginning, blemished by unfortunate circumstances and a mutual confusion of priority. Do they follow the shared song of their hearts? Or focus on their duties at hand? What may lay in the future, if Martin was truly to be Emperor? Was their relationship even worth pursuing, given all that may go wrong? And yet, it all seems to wash away in the night as they lie together. In those moments alone, between the countless errands Waelin is sent on, and the laborious deciphering of the Mysterium Xarxes Martin endures. In this space shared only between them, in each others arms, the lingering fear of the future fades away- if just for one night at a time.
