Malborn & Delphine's absolute disparagement of the Dragonborn's clothing fits so well with Kelkemmeran and his lack of style. ("You can't go to a party at the Thalmor Embassy dressed like that!")

Couldn't resist designing some Nordic-Altmeri party clothes, though! uvu

Silly Screenshots

Please accept these screenshots from my Ego and Sweetheart playthroughs (apologies for the low quality on some of these, my screenshot button has not been working for MONTHS no matter how many times I rebind it, so I ask my friends to take screenshots through the stream 😔)

First, biblically accurate heights for Rakell vs Malborn. Etienne is there too ig.

Rakell up on a table with his hand on his hip bc he’s a sassy bastard. And Sam looking surprisingly good in Mythic Dawn armor :]

Oldest brother and youngest brother compete to see who can do the better judgemental side eye. Delphine looks on at Ego with pity.

The entire Masquerade blocked the Stormcloaks from sitting down during the Peace Council. Serves them right

And then some Oblivion screenshots

Raven looks. Just. Look something about his face in this one kills me dead. I had fucked up on the sequence and got Baurus killed during the fight so I had to reload from the beginning. Skipped his little speech and went right into attacking him. And because Oblivion is a beautiful game the quest update popped up mid-spell cast and he just looks so betrayed to me. It’s awesome

Also “Master, I’m fucking balling.”

How would Erandur, Gelebor, Etienne Rarnis, Malborn, Ancano, Marcurio, and Cicero react to surprise hugs?

Malborn and Ancano scream like little girls before they realize and no one can convince me otherwise.

(They scream for different reasons) Hope you enjoy these!

Ancano: Screams like a little girl because he's rarely been hugged and never by surprise, so his scream is more "BY THE GODS I'M BEING ASSAILED WHO'S LAYING THEIR HANDS ON ME?!" and less fear from the general suddenness. Once he realizes it's you, he's stern about letting you know that is not okay.

Cicero: Cicero may be mostly mad, but he hasn't lost all of his abilities as an assassin. You can't sneak up on him no matter how quiet you are. He just knows. He can feel eyes on him, and the hair on the back of his neck stands up; he has a sense for these things. Isn't surprised at all and greets you in his usual jovial manner.

Erandur: Jumps a little with a small "Oh!" but as soon as he registers the hug he calms, chuckling and grabbing your hands, asking about your day and temperament.

Etienne: Jumps a foot high in the air and immediately begins struggling only to realize he was being hugged. You might catch an elbow to the face if you're not careful, or aware of how he'll react.

Gelebor: Jumps internally. You've never actually seen him have an obvious strong emotion before, and this is no exception.

Malborn: Shrieks and attempts to fend off whoever's grabbing him. Poorly, but he's trying his best. Once he realizes he's not in danger, he calms. Barely. He's shaking like a leaf the entire rest of the day.

Marcurio: Verbally key smashes, then sighs. "Oh, it's you. Did you really have to do that? You could have just approached me properly."

Ondolemar, trying to escape Elenwen during her party: Do you think Malborn needs help in the kitchen? We haven’t any tidbits or tartlets out here, nary a pig in a blanket.

Confession: i need malborn

[bforblitz]

I said that the malborn fandom is so small that I haven’t seen a new fic about him in two years as a joke, but no it’s. it’s actually been two years

malborn my beloved

[dogwaterpoopyboy]

im only human cant u see

[motherofcats666]

welp, I tried

Go to Windhelm to talk to Malborn and Brelas after Diplomatic Immunity/main quest; Malborn tells me about a suspicious khajiit hanging around the stables. We go to talk to the khajiits, one rats out the other one; Hadvar decapitates him before I can even get a hit on him. Go back to Malborn and Brelas and tell them it's safe to leave. I decide to follow them to try to make sure they get wherever they go safely. They both got killed by the bandits at Traitor's Post; I used console commands to resurrect them, then Brelas gets killed AGAIN by frost trolls just up the road, and Malborn starts walking back to Windhelm. I give up; I guess it just wasn't meant to be. RIP Brelas 🤣

Elf sleepover

Who needs to sleep with one eye open?

Like all the elves in the same room together? Or like just certain ones? I’m confused- O-O, but honestly if all elves were in one room together I’d say Neloth and Malborn would have to- one Malborn is a wanted fugitive now- and as for Neloth- well he’s an asshole

For any Skyrim character on your list, or, fuck it, anyone on your list, but add in Malborn, Etienne Rarnis, Marcurio, Erandur, and Gelebor: Do any of them do really weird shit, like some weird quirk, when they reach the peak of emotion? The emotion could be anything, from happiness to frustration to horny, just dialed up to 11. How do these men short-circuit?

I could go buck-wild with this one, so I'm going to stick to the specific characters you gave me, lol.

Erandur: When Erandur reaches the breaking point of anger, an extremely rare sight, he throws things, taking special care even in a fit of rage not to aim at or near someone. He'd never forgive himself if he accidentally cut his lover with a stray shard of glass from a vase he threw.

Etienne Rarnis: When Etienne can hold his laughter back no longer, he needs to brace himself against something or someone, otherwise he will simply double over, clutching his sides.

Gelebor: When Gelebor is on the fine line of being able to hold himself back from his love, his fists clench and unclench at his sides; he wants so badly to touch them, but is torn between his oath and his own selfish need.

Malborn: When Malborn is tired, but he can't quite sleep, he is prone to giggling at the smallest things. Really, it makes no sense what he finds funny, but he is so tired, and it is so late, anything will make him crack a smile. Even simply staring at him confusedly will make him laugh.

Marcurio: When Marcurio is on the brink of tears, whether it be emotional or physical pain, he bites his lip. Sometimes so hard it'll bleed. His pride keeps him from crying so long as he can help it.

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

Elenwen: Well, you've discovered my big secret. Which you will take to your graves.

Malborn: How can you be so sure? I mean, a lot can happen in the next 60 or 70 years.

Elenwen:

Malborn: Oh. Right.

The “Malborn and Ronthil are Related” crackpot headcanon that I have permeates every skin cell of my being

[k-im-lost]

Who actually gives a fuck about a Bosmer in skyrim so much they remember their first and last name. If they have one.

Do Bosmers have last names???? I don't know!

The only one I can kinda think of is Malborn, and I gotta Google his name all the damn time.

There's something so satisfying about Delphine being her usual motivated, whip-cracking self and making her wait impatiently while your character has a moment with her boyfriend.

Relax, Delphine. The dragons will still be there tomorrow.
