when i was very new to skyrim, i consulted with the internet to try and figure out which child i should adopt. and i saw many people downloaded mods to adopt aventus aretino. now, the issue was i hadn‘t started the dark brotherhood questline yet. and so i somehow confused him with proventus avenicci. so i thought there was a large group of people who decided to adopt the steward of whiterun

I wandered into some closed museum and got the quest of retrieving some artifacts. The curator immediately recognized that I am an adventurer!
Falk Firebeard paid me for the rum. He won't let me into the Pelagius Wing, but he gave me the job to investigate a cave near Dragonbridge.
Got some new spelltomes from the court wizard. She helped raise the dead king. He was killed by some loud guy named Ulfric.
Got the key by lying to the maid Erdi.

Well, that was weird.

i can‘t be the only one who hates the unofficial skyrim patch. it‘s so annoying how they keep „fixing“ things that may not even be bugs! like for example, they decided that the way narfi was talking was a „bug“ and not an artistic choice. well joke‘s on them, because trying to „fix“ that broke everything else, so they had to reverse it
anyway, i only keep it around because one of my favourite mods (i‘m glad you‘re here) depends on it

(This is my journal entry from my first day in skyrim!)
---Last Seed, 17th, 4E 201---
I have just arrived in Dawnstar by boat. My first time away from home! It is much colder than I expected. Travellers have told of snow but to see it with my own eyes… I just want to see as much as possible. I think I will start on the road right now.
I already cleared out my first ruin! I mean, there were only two rats there, but still. I'm really becoming an adventurer. THis is so exciting!!
Night seems to come fast here. I have found a camp and will sleep here. I also fought some wolves and killed one of them.
(^me on my first ruin!)

Senu's Serana Volkihar Headcanons
I was enabled. Hehe. You will regret this
♛ Serana is right-handed. For reference, Vigdis is left-handed. I don't know I think it's cute--
♛ Because of her vampirism, she's cold to the touch.
♛ Serana doesn't even know how old she is exactly, so she just guesses that she was locked up in Dimhollow for over a millennia. However, she was turned around the age of 27.
♛ And, because of all that time spent in Dimhollow and her vampirism, Serana cannot sleep, which makes her perfect for keeping an eye out for danger during the night. [Vigdis would never tell her she appreciates it]
♛ In game she has an elven dagger, but I personally [in my fanfiction] gave her an ebony one. She later obtains Mehrunes' Razor.
♛ Due to her deep involvement with Daedric cults, she's actually quite knowledgeable on all of the Princes and their artefacts.
♛ She finds the sound of ocean waves and the smell of the salty sea comforting. And also that old, musty, dusty library smell. Ancient pages in leatherbound books and such and so forth.
♛ Her handwriting is elegant and slanted. It was imperative that she had neat handwriting when growing up.
♛ Serana really enjoys painting. She's not very good at sketching or people; rather, she has an eye for dramatic landscapes.
♛ She's very interested in architecture. Living in a really cool castle has always given her appreciation for complex structures.
♛ She frequented the library at Volkihar Keep often. Most of the books in the library actually have handwritten notes and doodles in the margins, showing just how much time she spent reading books.
♛ As a Daughter of Coldharbour, her Vampire Lord form is unique to her, and therefore she and her mother are ranked above Harkon, who did not have to suffer the same ritual as them.
♛ Referring to the last bullet, Serana has been a Daughter of Coldharbour for over a millennia. She can never fully purge the vampirism from her body--thus, when she is cured, she can still cast vampiric-esque spells . . . and flecks of glowing persimmon are still persistent in her irises.
♛ Because of her mother, Serana is really good at alchemy, but she prefers to focus her skills and talents on necromancy--which she can, on occasion, be cocky about.
♛ Although the Volkihar Clan owns dogs, she's actually more of a cat person.
♛ As a vampire, she can't really eat. She can handle small pieces of meat, but otherwise her diet is purely blood-based until she's human again.
♛ Serana is capable of blushing--it's just a lot more subtle compared to a human. When she's cured, of course, her blush will be more noticeable.
♛ The Forgotten Vale was her favourite place to visit, followed closely by Ancestor Glade.
♛ As a free-spirited person, Serana was never interested in taking over the Volkihar Clan, or being in any kind of leadership role. She prefers the freedom of travelling across Tamriel and exploring the world.
♛ She's a lesbian. To me. I'm not sorry. Vampires have NEVER been heterosexual EVER. They have been GAY since their INCEPTION and I intend to keep it that way goddamnit
