Dwemer spotlight — The Blog Noone Wanted
Hi everyone ! During their travels, the Marsorics came across great amounts of strange things and unknown objects... including dwemer lights ! Malicia grew quite fond of those, so when her sisters provide her with one, she fancies placing it on the bookshelves of the small library, giving more light to some spots.
And today's spotlight has been put in a place "which was very dusty, yes", but who still had the scent and feel of the foreign lands of Morrowind :
THE BLOG NOONE WANTED
I - SYNOPSIS
Solstheim. In the distance, the massive, ever consuming shape of the Red Mountain overlooks the land. Wrapped in fur, a feminine silhouette fights against the ash wind. The woman pauses, hesitating : even to a dunmer, the land felt inhospitable, hostile ; to the point even the dead vegetation, covered in grey, could be seen as a warning.
Selune discarded the thought with a frown. Her ancestors had lived in those lands since millenniums, some dust was far from enough to deter her from her quest : to get rid of the strange condition affecting her. An impairment she had spent decades fighting in vain. But if there was someone who could help her, it would certainly be him.
Readjusting her coat, she resumed her journey with a steady walk. Tel Mythrin's giant, organic frames were right ahead.
II - DESCRIPTION
A - Summary
Blog type : illustrated text — Writing genres : fantasy ; erotism.
By : Jexsam.
Status : mostly available - On hold.
A blog no one wanted, featuring characters no one invited, and for which I'm writing a description no one asked for... I think we might have a best seller concept here. ? Jokes aside, in spite of a rather uncommercial presentation, and a rather messy sorting, the blog features carefully tailored narrations, supporting quite immersive stories (mostly revolving about the prices and drawbacks of the way of magic). Also, for once it's mainly highlighting strongly tempered dunmers. So, what's not to like about it ?
Recommended start : The Apocryphal Beast.
B - Critic
Qualities | Drawbacks
+ Immersive setting, with an exotic environment and credible characters
+ Very well written, demonstrating a fluid yet efficient style, which may rank among the best on LL
+ Very good graphic quality, with often flawless poses, expressions, angles and compositions.
The attention paid to lighting is more variable however.
+ Well staged, with a refined sense of erotism and sensuality, and a talent to exploit even
their psychological aspects.
+ Several sets of settings, increasing stories' variety.
- Very loosely continuous storylines : you'll be able to reconstruct the outcomes, but the story is more here to provide a setting for the erotic scenes rather than a chronologic scenario.
- While the erotic settings are varied, and while we've got a bit of relational & mystery, very few entries do delve into others writing genres (action, horror, investigation, comedy, drama etc.).
- No blog map ; and while this is usually a minor inconvenience, considering the amount of miscellaneous entries, finding out the stories among those can (could ?) require a bit of digging. The presentation (small font/images) could also benefit from minor adjustments, to better highlight their quality.
Malicia : « Professor Neloth : he looks very serious frowning and touching his beard, but in fact he only wants to peek at Selune's boobies, uh.
I'm lucky he doesn't likes bretons, no. »
III - SHOWCASE
The Tutelage of Neloth - Introduction
There it was - Tel Mithryn. Selune had come to this gods-forsaken island, choked on ash and suffered bitter cold all for this moment. She knew it could all still be for nothing - Neloth had many servants but took few apprentices. But she had to try.
Selune entered the mushroom tower and rode the levitation vortex to the upper floor. To her surprise, Neloth was already nearby. "I don't remember inviting you in. Who are you and what are you doing in my tower?"
"I seek to become your apprentice, Master," Selune responded with a bow.
"Hm... and what makes you think I'd even take you?" Neloth asked.
"For many long decades I have sought... means. I have learned much in my years at the Arcan-"
Neloth groaned. "I didn't ask for your life's story, I asked why you thought I should take you on. If you can't answer a simple question without launching into a monologue, you can go ahead and leave."
For a brief moment, Selune was rendered speechless. This journey suddenly seemed it would come to an end right as she was about to achieve her goal.
She thought quickly, took a deep breath, and spoke, "I seek to overcome weakness. You can help me do that, Master, and I will do whatever it takes to secure that."
Neloth regarded her silently for an uncomfortably long time. He looked her up and down, as if sizing her up. Selune began to feel a little self-conscious as his eyes met hers. Had she been too aggressive with her words? Did he think her some power-hungry wizard?
Neloth slapped a fist into an open palm. "I'll do it," he said.
"Oh, thank you, Master," Selune said with a bow, barely containing her excitement.
"Under very specific conditions," Neloth added. "I already have one apprentice, you see, and he's quite a handful as it is. You seem capable and driven... perhaps too driven. You'll need to be kept in line. To that end... if you agree to do whatever I ask, without question, I will accept you as my apprentice."
"Oh, of course, Master!" Selune said. A smile crept across her lips. She'd done it. With the knowledge and resources now at her fingertips
"Now take your clothes off, I want to see what I'm working with."
"Wh-what?" Selune asked. The suddenness of his request caused her brain to simply stop all at once, but soon enough she processed it.
"If you can't even carry out a simple command, I may have to nullify this arrangement..." Neloth said, staring at her angrily.
Selune, face hot and heart beating in mild panic, considered her situation. How much further would he go with these requests? she thought, pondering just how expansive the term "whatever" really was given her new perspective. Still, there was so much to gain... and what could he really do? Make her walk around naked, engage in some fuck-play... nothing she couldn't tolerate in the face of what she stood to gain.
Even with her resolve, it was still an embarrassing situation. "As you wish, Master..." she said.
She shed her clothing piece by piece, and as the last article hit the porous floor, she faced Neloth and bounced a little on her toes just to give him a show. "Do you approve, Master?" If this was the role she was going to fill, she may as well do a good job at it.
"Hmm... yes... yes, I think this will work out well for the both of us," he said, smiling slightly behind his fist.
"Come along, then, let me give you the tour," he said, gesturing her follow.
"May I get dressed, Master?"
"Of course not. What kind of a lesson on your place would it be if I did that? Now, follow me, let me introduce you to my various employees..."
Selune sighed.
Librarian's notes :
As this isn't a restoration but a showcase, I took the liberty to adjust the original editorial choices to better highlight it :
- Formatting changes compared to the original : widescreen images, 18 font size text, smoothed out vertical spacing.
- Two typos were corrected (father -> further, do a good job it -> a good job at it).
Thanks to Jexsam fo his diligent support.
