Akatosh would like someone to hug the Dragonborn because she desperately needs it and he's incorporeal. Be careful though.... she bites.

I just got this dialogue last night! My LDB had been at the college for maybe a day and had never spoken to Nirya. In the context of my character it felt like Nirya had seen her flirting with her Altmer follower (who is also her husband!!) and decided to dig for gossip on the newbie. I imagine that later she asked someone why the newest student was allowed to wander around with a mercenary and Urag (who is not who she asked but was standing nearby) just goes "You mean her Husband?"

so was anyone gonna tell me that nirya thinks ancano is "handsome" or was I supposed to have to listen to that for myself

My Dragonborn Fia just married Rumarin. I was discussing with my sister how they cuddle, since she's a Breton and he's an Altmer. Wound up drawing it quickly in paint. Enjoy!

My Dragonborn Fia meets Sheogorath and right after threatening to skip rope with her insides his eyes soften and he plants the gentlest kiss on her forehead. She can feel Akatosh tense up in Aetherius, but then Sheo just moves on like nothing happened. It's not until she's face to face with Akatosh in her dreams later that he spills that Sheo is technically her great great great grandmother, but due to complicated Daedric shit and probably actual dementia, Sheo is not really capable of knowing that.

My girl Fia is the type of girl who will knock a man twice her size to the ground with a single punch and make him and his entire army immediately fall in love with her.

The Throat of the World

Note: This is my Dragonborn Fia's first meeting with Paarthurnax. It comes after a much needed disappearance in the woods spent coming to terms with her destiny. I don't write much so this might read weird, but I wanted to share it anyway. I've also included some screenshots.

It was nearly midnight when Fia reached the summit. The path had not been the easiest to see even with the aurora dancing overhead lighting the way. Perhaps she should have heeded Arngeir's warnings and waited for sunrise, but the combined will of Akatosh and Talos tugged at her mind and pushed her forward.

There was something they wanted her to see. They seemed eager for her to finally meet Paarthurnax. With a slight stumble she shouted past the final wall of mist, immediately drawn to the broken silhouette of a word wall beyond it. She would wonder on her way back down why she hadn't flinched or reached for her weapon when the large form of a dragon had appeared above her. Maybe her dragon soul knew more than she realized.

It was nearly sunrise when they had finished their conversation. Paarthurnax questioned her certainty, the clarity she had in knowing her destiny. She didn't have the heart to tell him that Akatosh himself had made her path unavoidably clear. She could defeat Alduin, she would, there was no other choice.

She watched the sunrise above the eastern mountains before she began her descent, sleep pulling at her mind. Akatosh was waiting, there was much to discuss. He could wait until she made it to High Hrothgar, to a real bed. She had been sleeping in the wilderness long enough.

I did the thing, so meet Fia! She's a Breton, raised by Forsworn though not born Forsworn, who has been running from prophetic dreams for a few years. Two of these pictures were taken right after she killed her first Dragon and right before the stress nap in which Akatosh finally gets through to her and explains who she is and what her purpose is.

So... I'm sure other people have had similar ideas, but I have to brain dump. So like what if every single dragonborn returns to Akatosh when they die? (except for talos because he was special) Regardless of what deal with Daedra they make, or what they do in life. They are basically sentient hunks of Akatosh and return to him when they die. That's why Hermaeus Mora kept Miraak alive in Apocrypha because he knew if Miraak died then he'd lose his prize (because it's kind of his shtick to know forbidden knowledge). Miraak was basically Akatosh going "Alduin is getting a little too big for his scales Imma make someone who can take him down" and then Miraak immediately went "oooo power, and yes Mr. Mora I'll come to you for more knowledge" and refused to deal with Alduin. Kynareth (probably annoyed) then gave humans the ability to learn the voice and instructed Paartytothemax to deal with it and the whole Elder Scroll thing happened so Akatosh had time to tweak the formula. Akatosh binds the dragon blood and soul to an actual human bloodline via St. Alessia and we get the Septims. Centuries later now we have "The Last Dragonborn" as is the PC's title in the game. They are an Heir to the Septim bloodline (because Martin Setpim fucks, this is cannon) and the Septims were the Dragonborn Emperors. Martin basically becomes Akatosh at the end of Oblivion in order to fight off Dagon so Akatosh is just like "fuck this it ends here" and The Last Dragonborn knows they are 100% the last one, Akatosh basically told them directly. So you have this dragonborn who is hyper aware that there are huge world altering things at stake. Akatosh is much more directly involved with this Last Dragonborn, speaking to them in dreams. He kind of has to be because they're detached from any kind of family and anyone who knew who they were is long gone. It's Dragon Dad Akatosh and his anxious ball of dragon rage against the world.
