tes pinup challenge 2025 ~ mage's staff
third post , but actually first pinup to complete ! did try out several ideas with this prompt , but none of those really work out … which lead to this silly little bit of lesbianism .
as important note , ellona have esotropia and partial blindness in right eye ; this is not error , nor subject of joke . fat , disabled , and sexy !

~ @tes-gala 2025 - Day 3 ~
was unable to finish this story in time for gala upload , unfortunately , as lydia and ellona both go through significant theme and design changes . simple idea is that accost by bandits during travel - grand gala would surely be attraction for those desperate enough , after all . where ellona can wield magic from sidelines and keep clean that way , lydia is much more hands-on rough and tumble .
ellona is cognitively / intellectually disabled and nonverbal with low vision in right eye , and require lydia as aide and emotional support both - invite for ellona is invite for lydia . ;)
did actually get another idea for this day that might have work out better , but this idea come so late in event preparations that just could not do anything with that idea unless sacrifice another day in place . that idea could potentially become bonus for website , at some point , but just not ready in time for now .
and your mind, your tiny mind you know you've really been so blind now's your time, burn your mind you’ve fallen far too far behind fire, i'll take you to burn... fire, i'll take you to learn...
after experiences with martin , once-mortal sheogorath is lost and more spiteful against divines than ever . as world crumble , and wonder if martin's sacrifice was for nothing at all , another dragonborn appear ...
one who is hardly fit for expectations , for this very role - another poor woman jerk around by akatosh , who do not even comprehend what any of this is about .
sheogorath will teach , of course , even if must burn to get there . someone , anyone at all , must come to understand how deeply martin suffer - and what martin hide .
this is something , right ?
is there such thing as too much commitment to accuracy ?
context below :
because 2 yes answers is enough for this , right ? :D
OCs as hypnotic subjects
under conditions of full trust , specifically . any hypnotic subject would be less malleable and willing with someone untrustworthy , after all , so not really need to repeat . :)
thaliendir , pre-mantle :
very giggly and eager , easily compliant and malleable - sheogorathean ideal . will tend to remember everything after session , however - and at that point , blushy embarrassment set in .
thaliendir , post-mantle :
no more blushy embarrassment ! mostly , anyway … usually either solo hypnosis , or else one of prior sheogoraths . 12th era sheo in particular still know how to pull strings from within . would happily trance out for hours on end . days , potentially , but then haskill would have laundry list of obligations to catch up with and totally harsh mellow .
dhajan :
hypnotist would have to wonder if even still awake at all . answers would be incoherent mumbles , movements too labourious to follow simple instructions , and probably soon slip into actual sleep . but like , good , because this man deserve comfortable sleep .
kiliban :
struggle to stay under , things distract and pull attention too much . would also be resistant to most suggestions - even with trust in hypnotist , trauma of authority figures and demands is hard to get past . trance state end up to be not very calm or enjoyable for kiliban .
ellona :
very easy to overwhelm - if ask subject ellona to count to 3 , will fail and start to cry . brain already struggle to sort and process input of all kinds , so trance slow down even further . on bright side , also fairly easy to satisfy : just give some comfy blankets , nice window view or magic light show , and occasional gentle praises , and will be set for literally hours .
fa'zel :
would at first be massive sceptic . but then , sometimes sceptics fall hardest … would be type to forget everything , which find scary even with full trust . would lose pretty much all semblance of speech as well , and ... well ... like cat , compliant only occasionally , much prefer just sit back and chill . would have better time solo than with someone else as hypnotist .
OCs as hypnotists
under assumption that , for any particular reason , would actually know how to hypnotise - not always canonically true .
thaliendir , pre-mantle :
mortal thaliendir communicate with sign languages and illusion magic both . some people who lack exposure to illusion magic might find that this is enough to lightly entrance , even though thaliendir do not intend this . further than this , thaliendir would not have much experience , but happy enough to put on magic light shows and let subject chill out .
thaliendir , post-mantle :
this is how men and mer go mad . 13th era sheogorath communicate in language of thoughts - colours and pictures , feelings and urges , dig from depths of memory - all whiz by and near incomprehensible . this alone can overwhelm people into trances . if then add intentional hypnosis to mix , as sheogorath know ins and outs , know how to find and embrace depths of mind ... would really truly enjoy , but mind might never return .
dhajan :
soft , sweet whispers of praise , physical touch and reassurance to make things comfortable . not much for suggestions - especially as priest of dibella , trance is something of sacred state . would feel wrong to guide any more than necessary , and especially wrong to use just for amusement .
kiliban :
do not trust this man as hypnotist . kiliban can and will use magic to send on hypnotic equivalent of bad drug trip , and possibly drive mad outright . that is kind of whole point of xedilian , and even did this back on vvardenfell once . will have terrible time , almost certainly .
ellona :
ellona communicate similarly to thaliendir , with same illusion magic caveat . even so , magic might not play very much role for ellona's hypnosis . would be fairly straightforward , almost textbook style inductions , honestly , as that would be how ellona really learn about first . would have fun to just ask random questions and see where subject's mind float along , maybe some silly suggestions . there is , however , non-zero chance ellona would also hypnotise self and be unable to continue .
fa'zel :
would learn tricks and learn tricks well , to apply any time and any place . part of rapid induction especially is confusion and misdirection , like any good magic trick , and absolutely useful in some situations - to distract or to spill some beans alike . but beyond that practical use , might not have much interest - tool , not toy .
as for ellona and companions -
on one hand , ellona as werewolf would work for one of lessons of sheogorath . on other hand , think should get to explore some kind of actual relationship with companions .
lydia make up part of that - lydia is werewolf , not part of companions , but at least respect , and do think companions take up some of work lydia need done while ellona go through lessons .
but also think ellona's " predictions " from lessons could be very useful ... so long as someone will hear out .
