Eh I'm sick at home and bored
I realize that on the surface level corrupt Selina seems like one of those edgy classic deviantart ocs who are "insane" And so spoopy and whatever
Well I guess on a level it's true but I would like to think that the way I write her is more well done than the classic cringy insane person who is probably made on a base and is dating Jeff the killer
I also like to draw her with that stereotypical insane vibe but that's just for fun

I try to make her legitimately crazy, she is being manipulated by a daedric prince and has a obsession with her dead husband and thinks she is doing everything for him, despite not really remembering what he stood for or much of who he was anymore, she isn't herself, she is a puppet and is unpredictable and unstable, she doesn't think like a normal person. Like Cicero for example is a well written insane character in the Skyrim universe, he is long gone and has a obsession that is the root of his problems so he focuses on that. Selina focuses on Marcurio because that's what she's holding on to that's what allowed Hermaeus Mora to drive her over the edge, by using the extreme emotions to manipulate her.

Sorry I have no idea why I'm ranting or anything, if you have any suggestions on how I should properly write corrupt Selina or if you want to read more about the corrupt au than feel free to message me I would love to chat about my depressing alternate universe

Also enjoy the fluffy stuff I guess
Timer is wrong

That was part of her no hair phase which was actually most of her life.

as a pro tip
you may want to actually research specific syndromes and disorders instead of relying on "the cliche insane person" trope, which is actually quite damaging and harmful to people who struggle with mental illness
having your character be a character who happens to suffer from a disorder (instead of 'a crazy person') will also give them added depth, complexity, humanization, and empathy from the audience. wikipedia is a good place to start, but please remember that even things like psychosis and schizophrenia are diseases that real people suffer from, and to merely lump them all into 'this is my crazy character, who acts crazy, lol' actually affects the lives of those who suffer from these diseases - often overwhelmingly negatively, especially if you are banking on the trope of "crazy people must be violent" (in truth, people with mental illnesses are far more likely to be victims of violence, not perpetrators of violence, partially because of the stereotype that they are not to be trusted and therefore nobody believes them, partially because of this idea that mental illness must be making them violent instead)

Thank you for your input! I will defiantly look into that! I really should read up on insanity and such, however I will also need to figure out the difference between real life cases and ones of a fantasy world cause partiaclly by evil deities using her emotions after a traumatic incident to gain influence of the mind. I am going off of things Ive found in game that fit into the universe, such as a character named Cicero, he is violent but I believe that has to do with the fact that he was in fact an assassin and was already used to violent behavior, which would also go along with Selina since she normally is a heroic type mercenary fighter thing. Ive also noticed quite a few people who have chosen to indulge in things related to Hermaeus Mora appear ver crazy in the game.My goal is to not really be one of those people who use insanity as a thing to be cool or romanticize mental conditions of the sort but to use it as a plot point, Selina' condition is often also used to bring out the feelings of characters who used to be close to her aswell as moral questions. But I will make sure to do some research so the weiting is better and I dont do anything against the people who sadly are victims of such extreme mental ilnesses.

as a person who actually suffers from mental illness - you may need to drastically re-frame what you think a good portrayal of mental illness is right now. cicero is not really new, groundbreaking, or accurate, but rather regurgitated embarrassingly out of date cliche straight from Freud. unfortunately video games are often not places of very good writing. even if a strange god is the ultimate cause, keep in mind that a human or humanlike character's brain will probably respond to trauma the same way a real-life person's brain does - so drawing from factual resources can help you a lot. basically, it totally can be done as a plot point, but i would urge you to use caution and respect. drawing your character as "stereotypically crazy" might be a fun initial itch to scratch, but that stereotype unfortunately hurts a lot of people.

with research though you'll get not only a better character, but a better story, and better understanding of the world around you.
