Did I make my female OC a Breton of high noble birth for the sole reason of having lore-accurate, adorable, slightly pointed, man/mer hybrid ears in the 4th era?

Yes.

Is it a plot point or even at all important?

Nope.

Will I apologize for it?

... No.

Hold up.

Chimer & Dwemer are tight until the Chimer find out the Dwemer are messing around with the Heart of Lorkhan, a fragment of a Divine being. They intervene to try and stop it.

Snow Elves are completely cool with the Atmorans settling along Northern Skyrim, until something at Saarthal incenses the Snow Elves to attack the Atmorans living there. Much later, it’s discovered the Eye of Magnus, presumably a fragment of a Divine is in Saarthal, very likely to be the incentive behind the Night of Tears.

….do we think there is any connection here? Or at least some sort of implication from the Elder Scrolls writers about the motives of the Snow Elves???

Nocturnal being reduced to “big titty goth gf” over & over is kinda exhausting.

She’s Ur-Dra, the eldest spirit, likely the most powerful of the Daedric Princes, whose very nature is truly unknown, and could potentially be older than reality itself. Her artifacts can rewrite reality and unlock metaphysical barriers. She doesn’t ask for worship, only deals—FAIR deals, in contrast to Clavicus Vile or some of the more insidious Princes.

Like, yes, her visual depictions are very sultry, but that’s the least interesting thing about her

Might fuck around and teach myself to draw ONLY to be able to express my vision of the Magna-Ge sisters.

Because they are fascinating. They are related to Dragon Breaks, Time, Unstars, Mehrunes Dagon, Azura(?!), mortal Heroes, and just so much more… I need more of them!!!

Before anyone judges your unhinged Skyrim fanfics, remind them that these are all canon in the official lore:

-Bretons literally came into existence because horny elves enslaved, showed off in court, and bred human Nedes for hundreds of years.

-The demi-god Vivec did the dirty for 88 straight days with the daedric prince of domination, Molag Bal.

-Literally any other lore involving Molag Bal.

-Saint Alessia enjoyed the intimate companionship of a half-man, half-bull demigod, because hey, an Empress needs hobbies.

-Reman Cyrodiil's dad allegedly made such passionate love to a hill that he died on said hill. Literally. After impregnating the hill.

I seriously recommend the books in these games, because you read some wild stuff. 😂

Todd Howard actually voices every elder scrolls character

Did you know...?

Todd Howard does, in fact, voice every single Elder Scrolls character, from the lowliest of tutorial dungeon goblins to even the Graybeards. He got his start all the way back in Arena. The man's talent and versatility are truly astounding.
