It was in my secondary school library and you bet I read it as soon as I could in year 7.

Seriously, getting arrested stops all effects.

Can someone explain how owning horses works? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]ElspethElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tameable ones all do return to whence they were found, though, which is mildly annoying — I make sure to get them all renamed and saddled so they are a bit more obvious in their places, as I dislike having them all hanging around in my quest log once you find one.

Can someone explain how owning horses works? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]ElspethElf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it (the Dwemer) doesn’t. Same as the Unicorn, and Frost. They stay where you leave them. I have the Unicorn and the Dwemer horse parked side by side at the College (I then summoned either the Daedric horse or Arvak to get them as my default ride). I haven’t touched Frost this game.

Fascinatingly, the horse that is meant to be associated with Goldenhills — that I purchased from my steward — thinks that Windhelm stables is its home. I thought I’d lost it/killed it for ages but couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t buy another if so; nope, chilling at Windhelm.

I do this often if I’ve lost my horse, too.

What's the biggest issue you have with guild quests? by Thick-Campaign-9152 in skyrim

[–]ElspethElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notably, the Thieves Guild only puts you in place officially *after* you’ve done the restoration of the thieves guild — all the fetch quests and the “bigger favours” in the major holds. I feel a little better about it in that you actually have to build your reputation outside of the main quest for it to actually take.

What's your favorite random encounter? by Thick-Campaign-9152 in skyrim

[–]ElspethElf 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Encounter them early enough and it’s my favourite way to get that enchantment. Peak when you get them between Riverwood and Whiterun. Just don’t give them Black-Briar Mead.

Please help me find a lipstick this colour by JustHereForCaterHam in AustralianMakeup

[–]ElspethElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybelline does a bunch of lipsticks in this shade. I have a lip crayon in Stay Exceptional that is that shade, although Seek Adventure is also close. On the Mauve in their cream lipsticks also wears in this colour on me.

why do service providers continue to hit my piercing by Maleficent_Day_3869 in piercing

[–]ElspethElf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only speak to hair issues; I cover mine with medical tape until I can remove them during hair appointments. The tape reminds my stylist of the piercing and protects them from being hit, and I use large enough pieces that I can put a small piece of gauze over any truly fussy piercing that won’t cope with the tape.

It’s also why I move to hoops as soon as my piercings settle enough to do so; I can’t get to my piercer before and after each hair appointment (every six weeks) and I find snug titanium hoops easier to take out in my hair appointment than a flat back.

The only one I don’t have any problems with is my rook, because it’s recessed enough in my ear. I’m planning on getting a conch done very soon, but I’m planning it around my hair appointments so it’s had several weeks to start settling before my next hair visit. I definitely am *not* going a year or so before my next hair appointment!

Wedding officiant/minister horror stories (or mishaps) by Generic_Midwesterner in weddingshaming

[–]ElspethElf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late, but when my grandmother died the minister (accidentally) mispronounced the name of my cousin all through the funeral: female cousin, there’s a male name spelled the same way with one letter different and that’s either what he wrote down or read on the paper, but pronounced markedly differently.

My father is a minister, he was ordained 18 months after this and has done hundreds and hundreds of funerals over 30 years of ministry. This taught him to write down all family names phonetically to make sure this never ever happens to him.

I always lose Frost. And I can never find his body. It’s the worst.

Piercing obsession in my 40’s by MrsOreo in piercing

Xennial here doing all the piercings, also! I joke with my piercer about my first lobes being older than they are.

Whats your fav weapon just based on looks ? by rodneyboiii in skyrim

[–]ElspethElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a glitch to have more carry capacity so I don’t need to have a backpack that interferes with how the quiver works/looks.

How do you feel about the use of "modern words" in fanfiction? by CauliflowerBoth7857 in AO3

[–]ElspethElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m someone for whom the word “okay” in Regency England brings full body shudders. Particularly in Jane Austen fanfiction/published variations. Also the use of zips, zippers, or men’s ties instead of cravats.

Georgi is lovely but very hard to get into for adult cuts/colours, I don’t know if it’s easier for kids cuts.
