Comes from THIS MEME! Accepting more :D

Ooooh, thank you, thank you! Elanor, the majestic goose. What would I love to write about her?

⭐ For once I would be interested to write about her relationship with Paarthurnax, both during the Main Quest and long after, when she does her whole Thurrahdaal thing. Because I think it could be interesting to explore how the ancient hermit dragon somehow becomes more or less the first person in existence to look at Elanor and sort of be normal about her. You know, try to get to know her as a person and act from there as opposed to seeing her as one of many roles she nicely falls into ranging from "yet another Thalmor Bitch" to "means to an end in the divine scheme".

⭐ Another interesting thing would be, honestly, to just go and explore the many cases of Elanor being flat out unhinged and not in the adorable or entertaining way. Not the "gift a talking skull to Elisif" which is, okay, already creepy enough if you think about it, but more like "gets an opportunity to do Namira's quest and happily follows through in full with the typical relaxed nonchalancy. Somehow not the weirdest thing she ate" or "given her functional immortality and ability to reembody is pretty much unbothed by pain, wounds and getting killed and even seeks these out for fun and thrill".

⭐ And another one is probably about how she deals with having a dragon soul stuck in her mer body. Particularly the desire and longing for flight, but you know. Oh, to have a winged soul and dream of flight, of sky, of the wind far above and Tamriel far below, but to be anchored down to the ground.

High elf and a high elf. Saw this particular bit in the "Three minutes of Taliesin being Taliesin" video and thought, that hey, he must meet Elanor in all her creacher glory.

Definitely looking forward to the mod completion, @dynamite124

Hey, look, I wrote a thing!

The premise is that Elanor, being the worst possible person to end up as Dovahkiin, proceeds to join Alduin and things escalate from there.

Including, but not limited to: -dovahzul mistranslations; -blowing up Blackreach; -dramatic dragon brooding; -one arrow in one knee; -a date in Sovngarde (but no dinner); -and a lot of implications.

Many thanks to @nerevar-quote-and-star for the help with grammar and for inspiring/enabling this thing :D

Sorry for the wait with this! And thank you so much for a question! She is my horrible, but special meow-meow, so I am always happy to talk about Elanor!

So, a lot of her concept actually grew from the idea going kind of like "there is a lot of really weird stuff in Skyrim (the game), that we just gloss over, because it is a game from Bethesda, but what if there will be a character, that is just like that?". And so a lot of it does contribute to Elanor's weirdness. But I am getting off topic.

In no particular order and, probably, not being quite that weird most of the time, but some of the things Elanor did that are... unorthodox.

Dis-honorable mentions:

Concerning Elanor's antics in Skyrim

Hopefully a little post for me to finally write down some notable events in Elanor's unending struggle in making life in Skyrim somehow worse.

Elanor's latest object of affections: why can't you just be normal?!

Elanor, who hardly ever got to experience or see how genuine affection presented in a sensible way works and whose idea of a "normal relationship" is based off megalomaniac lich demigod and the least normal Daedric Prince: ???

Elanor, casually strolling across the border, excited to be back in Skyrim a week after another death

The duality of loving Elanor's story of being a horrible little Thalmor creacher and an absolute menace, but being sad that the only way she would be able to interact with most if not all these cool OCs and LDBs is by being hunted down for sport.

Which she and her reembodying ass would have a lot of fun with, but still

Some random trivia about Elanor and her antics in Skyrim, because why not

Okay, incoherent Skyrim ramble time. 

But the fact, that Dovahkiin is low-key forced to be enrolled into the College of Winterhold to get the Elder Scroll in the main quest is hilarious to me in the context of Elanor (for more context on who Elanor is, refer HERE. In short - a dragonborn altmer-shaped disaster). 

Because while it might be more reasonable and expected for her to try and force her way in somehow or circumvent this part of the quest entirely, I am not here to be reasonable, I am here to get as much quips and lols out of the story as possible, so it is far funnier if she just... enrolls there. Or, speaking more honestly, annoys her way into getting enrolled. 

After being tossed at Faralda by her dremora, of course. The only reasonable way for Val to put Elanor down after lugging her across the entire hold, through snow, bears, more snow and more bears. What is with all these bears as of late.

And honestly Elanor tagging along for the entirety of the College questline would be freaking hilarious. To me. So many possibilities. To lick the big forbidden orb, to get turned into a chicken, to blow something up (just like the good old time back on Summerset). Of course the classic show of “people in the backround being genuinely uneasy about Elanor being Elanor, because Elanor is not okay, now ft. College trio and Tolfdir”.

And bullying (affectionately, but violently) Ancano, of course. The main attraction. Honestly while College Trio does the most work in the questline these two could really just try to murder one another in the background in increasingly creative and unhinged ways, it would be entirely in character and give everyone else a good ten minutes of freedom from snooty advisor and his dumbass colleague. 

The itch to write something about how things went for Raised by Blades!Elanor with her generally very sad life full of "that good thing or person? Gone"

Versus

Understanding that no way on earth I would be able to properly portray everything I want and the end result will be damn cringe.

So, hey, let me tell you about Elanor, who you might know from her being very normal and to be trusted with the power of Thu'um.

I think @dunmerdilfs you wanted to know more? I am happy to help :D

She is horrible, I love her. However, there was a solid chance she might not be as horrible! Or far worse!

Now let me also be very normal and tell you about Elanor's complicated background and AUs, existing as separate timelines. Content warning: cringe. 

I can’t believe that I would be sitting here, typing several paragraphs explaining Elanor’s complicated Mary Sue background only for Tumblr to not save it.

I need to explain how she is the specialest little meow-meow to ever meow-meow in Mundus and beyond

Elanor is completely normal and can be trusted with the knowledge of Thu’um. 

Todd got me again, and I am reinstalling Skyrim.

And my truckload of mods for the premium Elanor experience.

Premium Elanor experience being, of course, 4k textures for garlic and garlic only.
