Some of us in TSC write stories or poems while other members read them. Throughout our time here, we write and read countless blogs but every once in a while we come across a line which stands out from the rest.

It maybe because it made us chuckle or laugh; snort a mouthful of coffee because it caught us off guard. Maybe it stabbed you in the heart because it stirred up emotions which you weren’t prepared for or weren’t expecting.

Feel free to tell us of it. Tell us of the lines within these stories and poems which stirred such emotions and add a link to the story or poem so others could have a read as well. It doesn’t matter if it’s from your own work or someone else’s.

What matters is that the line stands out from the rest.

I think it's safe to say that Aelberon's swearing is considered to be one of my favorites. I could list them... but it would take me a few hours of browsing through 50+ chapters of Straag Rod if I do...

The line which caused me to create this discussion was one from collaboration between two writers, Karver and Lissette. The chapter in question is ….

 Chasing Aetherius: Chapter 6 - Parting Ways

I can feel your face going red, Uncle. “I mean, normally when you get an audience with a Jarl, you fucking hide your loot, for fuck's sake! Family heirloom sticking out of your pocket...idiot!”

I couldn’t help but laugh at this as I envisioned the face scrunching up as he spoke the final word ‘idiot’.

Well done to the pair of you.

Oh yeah, Decimus and his F words. I think he uses at least one in every single speech he has... :D

But otherwise...I think I don´t have any favourite, because me and Lissette have so many good lines throughout Chasing Aetherius. I just know that every discussion between Albee and Decimus is awesome bromance chat and discussion between Albee/Decimus and Grulmar is about Grulmar being an ass taking pot shots at them. 

But there is one scene in Chapter 7 (soon to be posted) that stands out to me the most of all. I advise you to keep an eye out for a scene in Decimus´s PoV, during morning. It´s absolutely hilarious. :D

Oh man, that guy alone has a ton of favorite lines. Grulmar too. And then there's Galar...

I shall have to compile a list of Altmer swear words and bad attempts of humor and all the instances of verily and thus.  Poor, awkward creature. 

There's been many times when writing, particularly in AotQ, that the dialogue stands out to me as I write it. Like in Part 9, where Ardolan freaks out on being Wabbajaked, or the still-in-editing Part 16, where Ardolan decides to act as hammy as possible (makes sense in context), or even part 17, still being written, which has this gem (WARNING: SPOILERS. Kind of.)

She walked up close, and wrapped her arms around me, staring up with eyes that—despite their bloodied redness—managed to evoke a small dog. “Please?”

Here's a paragraph I particularly like. It shows Aela off perfectly.

Aela stepped forwards and introduced herself. She knew her reputation and that of the Companions was widespread across Skyrim and she hoped her name would put the General at ease although her diplomacy skills were somewhat lacking.

“Allow me to introduce us… I’m Aela the Huntress from Jorrvaskr; a Companion. Allow me to introdu… This is a waste of bloody time. General Tulli-whatever the hell they call you. I’m Aela, that one is a Whelp and this reptile is Sotek. You asked him to come here damn it now listen to what he has to say!”
