i kept meaning to post my ideas on natavi's new backstory on here
-he is an orphan, his mother was an ashlander wise woman of the erabenimsum tribe, and a descendant of alandro sul, his father was an altmer scholar studying their culture who fell in love with her
-his altmer relatives disapprove of the relationship because of their heavy prejudice
-when they find out he had a child with an ashlander, it sets them off. they have both of natavi's parents assassinated, he's sent to an orphanage as an infant.
-eventually runs off as a teenager, is taken in by an argonian mage of house telvanni who also had his own daughter, natavi sees them both as his family and is very close to them
-im still keeping his poison immunity but from a different cause, he basically practiced mithridatism to see if he could pull it off and be like his dad and sister who are immune to poison as argonians. pretty much only the most vile of poisons can have any sort of effect on him. magical poison does nothing. this makes it ironic when his grandson is born under the sign of the serpent and becomes a skilled poisoner.
-when natavi is imprisoned it's from directly defying imperial lawmen. the emperor knows what he is and his destiny from his Old Bitch Visions and decides to be an asshole and muscle this half ashlander guy into cooperating with the empire to try and make the nerevarine prophecies benefit the empire. he didn't consider the fact that natavi would kill all of the blades agents he's found after caius was of no use to him. and that he'd become archmagister of house telvanni.
-massive fucking whiplash finding out his true heritage and daedric nature. oh so that's why he sometimes gets visions of the future. fuck.
-he is not literally nerevar incarnate, he's simply taking up his mantle of godkiller, he is able to wear moon-and-star through his bloodline. exacting revenge on dagoth ur and the tribunal is his birthright.
-this dude can fit so much magic in him

this one would like to hear about montague 👉👈
Ayee my boy!! This is long af and rambling at this point lol
————————
Montague Tesari is an Altmer male who is my Nerevarine.
He grew up in the Summerset Isles. His birth mother died in childbirth and his father couldn���t take care of him so an elderly (early 60’s) Breton couple adopted him and gave him a good life.
They also had a child of their own named Terissa. She was in her 20’s when they took in 6 year old Monty. She really was his world. They were best friends, always doing everything together.
One day, they were running around and they found two Dunmer girls, half dead on the ground. They brought them back to their home and nursed them back to health. They were twin sisters, Neryn and Armreyn Shunai. They couldn’t go back home, so Montague’s parents also began taking care of them, never officially adopting them though.
One day, Monty came home from school and was told that his sister was killed. He was absolutely devastated. He decided he was gonna follow in her footsteps and become a mage.
Monty grows up, him and Neryn wind up getting married and having a kid, Denken Tesari. But, Monty winds up involved in a Hircine Cult and becomes distant, so Neryn divorces him.
He lived as a hermit for a while, working with the Cult. Finally, he was arrested and taken into custody. This is where Uriel Septim bailed him out of jail and basically told him he was the Nerevarine.
Monty goes through all the events of the main quest of Morrowind, and Divayth Fyr invites him to come train with him. He obviously says yes. He’d be stupid not to.
He then trains with Divayth for a while and lowkey falls in love with his daughter Uusepe. But, he is called by Uriel Septim to travel to Akavir and explore with a few others.
He spends about 3 years in Akavir, before receiving a telepathic message from Divayth that Uriel Septim is dead. He returns and meets Martin and my Hero of Kvatch. Monty teaches HoK how to use “Blood Magic” because he feels it will be useful against the Mythic Dawn.
He then returns to Divayth for a few months, and then heads off to see Neryn and Denken.
He also knows how to shout. He taught my LDB a shout that he learned on Akavir. Him and my LDB also have some adventures together and he kind of becomes a fatherly figure to her.

ulfric is trans and he FUCKS: a post detailing my stormcloak fanchildren
it’s honestly a MIRACLE he’s still alive after poppin out these kids holey shitd
░ refs under cut ░
----  20′s:
the first twins; addir and william
addir and william were born as the first of ulfric’s children shortly after the great war ended. both are half-altmer. their father, erydil, was also an imperial soldier at the time (and would later go on and join the stormcloak’s rebellion.)
addir is the special bby uwu. he has a type of emotionally-tied wild magick that forced ulfric to send him away to a school to learn to deal with it at age 7. he stayed there til he was 18, only seeing ulfric in person on holidays and the occasional week he got to go home, and left for the college of winterhold immediately after where he studied (and became archmage after Resident Crackhead Ancano pulled his shenanigans) and eventually learned he was the dragonborn after a dragon attacked and died.
will is not the special bby. he was kidnapped at a very young age by a vampire looking for a snack. this vampire was not very smart and got attached instead and decided to raise him. eventually will found himself as a member of the dark brotherhoos. ulfric, in his grief (as he thinks his son is fucking dead) had will erased from society so like. 6 people actually KNOW. everybody else has a vague memory of him but like not really.
----  30′s:
the third child; wulf
wulf is the product of a night with general tullius during imprisonment, after drinking a little too much whilst reminiscing about the great war. ulfric escaped shortly after but then had a fucking RAT of a baby. wulf is a BASTARD who STOWED AWAY on a SHIP at SEVENTEEN to become a PIRATE and he is a disgrace but he loves his papa.
that’s all you really need to know,, he’s a real bastard of a kid and his friends are more interesting lol
--
the second twins; peter and finley
peter and finley were born as ulfric’s second set of twins, this time fathered by an unknown dunmer ulfric had hooked up with lol.
they are the most intimidating of his kids. even ulfric is intimidated by them or maybe it’s finley’s massive wolf.
peter is brains. he’s the one who makes plans, deals, and generally does the behind-the-scenes work for the two. he’s quiet and reserved though quick to anger and is pretty scary.
finley is brawn. she’s also the only girl of all ulfric’s kids. she likes to get her hands dirty and loves a good fight. while she is just as quiet as her brother, she tends to draw all attention to herself (which her brother thanks her very much for). she’s the scarier of the two. she was born completely blind and has a real big wolf (like REAL BIG) as her seeing-eye dog. nobody knows where she got it. everybody (except her brother and dad) is afraid of her.
----  40′s:
the sixth child; arthur
arthur is ulfric’s youngest and last child (menopause be like 👀 shortly after) and he’s quite the mess. his other dad is my dearest wesley blue-brook who gets half custody so he switches every week (wesley is a stormcloak soldier so he often drops the boy off when it’s report time) 
he’s honestly the most boring of the kids. his personality doesn’t really develop until a major story thing i made (which is a whole nother can of worms) so he’s. just there. bastard.
----
okok before i do refs i just wanna say since this is my fankids post obviously i can’t put others’ here but @imperial-twink‘s norry is THE BEST BOY and i lov he SO MUCH

Hey! Would u ever consider posting a full version of one of your outlines so we could see ur outlining process? I’m really curious to see how other writers plan out their work.
omg i love this. i've been wanting to share but wasn't sure if anyone actually wanted to see it lmao i jumped out of bed to answer this on my pc
i'll share my outline for the horror and the wild, since that's published and i don't have to worry about spoiling something that isn't out yet. for thatw i used my short story outline, which is different than the one i use for longer projects and is a little more bare-bones.
this is going to be rather long so i'll put it under a cut
first, ofc, i do a big free-write where i put down all my ideas and ramble through them for ideas and vibes. once i have a semi-coherent narrative, i make a 7-point outline (i use this reference to work through it)
so here's the 7-point outline i used for thatw:
Hook: A beast is killing livestock.
Turn: Ed sneaks out, against Brandr's wishes, to find the beast.
Pinch: Ed is attacked by the beast.
Midpoint: The beast seems to be gone.
Pinch: Ed sleeps with Verranil.
Turn: The beast is Verranil. A werewolf.
Resolution: Brandr kills Verranil.
So obviously this doesn't include a lot of the plot beats, just the general skeleton, so from there I take my blank 4-chapter short story outline (which i can also post if u want) and I start plugging my current plot points in, connecting them with the empty spaces.
i aim for the first chapter to have the hook and some setup, the second to have the first turn+pinch and end on the midpoint(ish), the third to have the second pinch+turn, and the final chapter to be the resolution and whatever ends i want to tie up.
it's very, very formulaic but it helps me actually create stories with solid structure and decent pacing so i don't mind it. im sure that authors who churn out dozens of books (like idk. romance authors) use a similar sort-of formula when writing lmao.
each section is a chapter (except the middle, which is split in half at the midpoint like i said), and each numbered bullet is a scene. under those i write what needs to happen/what i imagine will happen in said scene.
here's my full outline for thatw:
Beginning (four scenes)
1 - Open on the crime scene - the chicken coop, covered in blood and viscera.
Ed suggests they talk to the guard and Brandr shoots him down
Brandr says he'll lay traps on the treeline. If he sees the beast he'll kill it himself. Show his greatsword.
2 - Ed goes to town to buy a rooster. Enter Verranil, an Altmer who's passing through.
They talk some. Verranil is handsome and intriguing.
And flirtatious. "Aren't you a pretty young thing."
Verranil helps Ed take some stuff back to the farm.
3 - Verranil and Brandr meet.
Brandr mentions the chickens.
Verranil says it's probably some wolves just passing through. Not worth all this trouble with the traps.
4 - Next day, the neighbor's cow is dead.
Brandr is pissed. He lays the traps.
Ed offers to go find the beast, not content to sit around and wait.
Brandr says that the beast is greedy. It'll come around again.
Middle (eight scenes)
5 - Ed sneaks out in the night, looking for clues in the woods.
He steps in one of the traps and freaks out, screams and panics.
Something approaches him in the dark and he hallucinates (lol) that it's huge, but Verranil steps out into the moonlight.
6 - Verranil carries Ed to his camp.
He's an experienced healer and fixes Ed up.
Ed has to strip out of his bloodstained clothes and Verranil offers his own clothes.
Verranil interrogates Ed on what he was doing and insists that heading out in this dark is too dangerous for a pretty young thing like himself.
Verranil says he's actually been tracking this beast for a while and to leave it to him.
7 - Ed arrives back to the farm just before dawn.
Brandr is pissed that Ed disobeyed him. "You're lucky to be alive."
Ed keeps the truth - that he very nearly died but Verranil saved him - to himself.
He's undeterred, and plans to head out again that night.
8 - Ed is attacked by the beast.
He sneaks out late that night and quickly realizes he's not hunting - he's being hunted. Sounds behind him of snuffling, underbrush being disturbed, growling.
He runs back for the farm but the beast catches him, pins him to the forest floor. Claws dig into his arms, tear his clothes. He manages to cast a spell - the beast watches nothing happen and chuffs, something like a laugh, before getting conked over the back of the head with the blunt side of an axe.
"Stupid fucking skeletons," Ed mutters as he makes his escape.
--------------------------------------------
9 - Ed gets home after the attack
He heals himself, thinking about Verranil the whole time. The way he touched him while healing...
The beast doesn't attack and thus it's been a couple days. He's stressed because he knows it's still out there.
Brandr, noticing his strange demeanor, says if it stays away another night they'll go to Falkreath to celebrate.
10 - Verranil is there.
He and Ed chat, trying to keep their second meeting secret from Brandr.
Brandr gets pissed because Verranil is a creep but Ed isn't acting creeped out anymore.
Verranil eggs him on 'til he leaves, refusing to fight Verranil.
Verranil takes Ed back to his camp and they bone.
11 - Ed wakes up alone at the camp.
He feels disgusting and hurts all over. Sex sucks maybe.
Brandr wakes up at home to the cottage on fire. He gets the chickens out and escapes.
Ed gets back looking like hell and they hug. What the fuck is going on.
12 - Ed and Brandr fix up the farm as best they can.
Ed puts out the fire and they talk. There's claw marks on the fence posts, the coop, the garden. It has to be the beast.
Brandr starts to put pieces together - Verranil left Ed alone in the morning. Ed confesses that he saw the beast and it's a werewolf. Ed refuses to believe it.
Reluctant, they decide to head into the woods to find Verranil - Brandr brings his sword.
End (two scenes)
13 - Ed and Brandr corner Verranil at his camp.
Brandr hangs back to let Ed go ahead. Verranil is back at his camp and kisses Ed, making both men's stomach churn.
Ed tells Verranil about the beast and Verranil acts surprised. Ed pushes questioning - he says he saw it. Knows it's a werewolf.
"It was dark, you're weak little candlelight didn't illuminate-" "I didn't tell you what I cast."
Verranil pins Ed to a tree, realizing his mistake. The wind changes and he smells Brandr. He shifts.
There's a fight, Ed summoning a skeleton only for it to be dashed away in an instant, Verranil ready for it this time.
Brandr emerges with his greatsword and beheads Verranil in the fight.
14 - A week later.
They got a reward from the Jarl for killing the werewolf. They use it to rebuild.
Brandr comforts Ed the best he can.
Reveal that Ed took of the beast blood - this will never happen again.
some details are different to how they ended up happening in the story, but the beats and important events are the same.
