(( XD! I’ve had thought processes like that before. (A while ago, I wrote a thing where I met one of my characters… uwu it was a sobering experience.)

.u. I would probably want to pet Kii. Though I’d have to be careful with that, I think. xD A nasty set of teeth isnt the first or last weapon he has at his disposal to rebel against it uwu ))

(( XDD ffff

I’m scared that with all of Chira’s knowledge of the (what is) fourth wall, she’d just hug me to death forever uwu ))

(( He’s a talkative sort, you may just be there for a century trying to hear it all! X)

But ohgosh, Vingy… Depending on what mood he’s in, I may just end up his lunch. xD Especially since running wouldnt help at all. But even if not and he was peaceful, he’d probably just talk my ear off (about himself of course) and I’d roll my eyes.

And then be eaten anyway uwu ))

(( uwu thank you anon. there’s really no need to stir up drama—i dont like it, my followers dont like it.))

(( I thank you for your concerns too, anon, but i do want to do this of my own free will. i dont want to openly aggravate triggers, especially when one is brought up to me. we all have ways of ignoring our triggers, but since the term ‘mutt’ has been such an integral part of my writing, to just tumblrsavior it or something would mean to miss half of my posts just because of that one word.

i am in the wrong here, and so i will change that, because it is something so very minor. but dont worry, i wont change thur in any way that affects his views, his values, or his core character. that, i will not do, for yes, he is mine and i made him the way i wanted him because that’s the direction he’s taken me in. :) ))

(( mmhm. i see what you’re saying, and i’ll admit, i did not think of it that way in the least.

i dont believe i was clear, as i wasnt wholly sure of it myself, but now that i’ve had the chance to think it over, and discuss it a bit with a friend, i do believe it was Thurvayn’s personal views of his blood that has drawn me to using the term ‘mutt’. he loathes his blood, and thus believes himself to be one, yes. he’ll more than likely call himself a mutt before i would personally. i think i just fell into a bad habit of using it.

i never meant to throw offense to anyone, and i’m sorry if it has come out that way. i’m am forever grateful for you bringing this up, anon, as i’m a rather naive person and it’s always a help for someone to point out things i should change.

i will definitely work on this, but as i can foresee it being a word of use in the future, especially if it is describing thurvayn’s thought process, but i will significantly limit it’s usage in my description of him in normal narrative. ))

(( nope. my real intention was to reference that he’s of mixed blood. if i’m not mistaken, the term may have come up in some of his mortal drabbles. ))

I beg your pardon?

(( i do tend to use mer at times, but since he does interact with a fair number of male elves, it could become confusing and thus i’ve used ‘mutt’ instead, just to make certain that the readers know who i’m referring to. i believe i’ll use his name more often, as i noticed i tend to shy away from it. for what reason i’m really not sure, as that tends to place anonymity upon him.. i think i got into doing that to separate thur as he normally is from when he becomes more vampiric but perhaps i’ve ended up doing it more often than i should have.

uwu but thank you for your concern anon. i can tell you care for him a lot, and that really does warm my heart. ;u; ))

(( i dont believe i’ve ever used ‘mongrel’, or even ‘halfbreed’, (perhaps i have ‘mixedbreed’) but i tend to use ‘mutt’ because it is an extremely integral part of his character. while i suppose it’s hard to forget seeing as something always brings up his lesser-visible half… i guess it’s just another descriptive word instead of using “him” or his name. (as i do try to mix up my narrative and try not to use the same pronoun too much for more interesting reading.;; ) i cant quite call him a dunmer, but i do when he’s facing another mixed-race character. if it’s another half-dunmer, i use “altmeri-mutt” or if it’s another half-altmer, i’ll use “dunmeri-mutt”

…oh i’m ranting now arent i?

but really, it’s mainly just my being descriptive of him. he hates that he’s a mutt, and does acknowledge it because of the hatred he feels from purebreds of both races of his, but while he’d love to… it’s something that he doesnt forget easily.

i can cut back on using the term if it would help keep the immersion—so, say, other muns wont be inclined to metagame and their characters “realize” he’s a mixed breed just because i’m sticking it in their face.

i do hope that answered what you were looking for, anon! i can always elaborate if you can point me in the correct direction. c: ))

“Ohoh! Haj-Dei scared me with this one!

They say, they say that in Argonia, the TREES come ALIVE and will gobble up little ‘mers!

But he told it so much cooler!” the little mer bounced. “And—and! Isnt that just cool! TREES! That come ALIVE!”

“Guar steaks!?” The young mer perked up. “Where!?”
