A creative cosplayer has come up with a delightful baby onesie that showcases a memorable quote from The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, and it has taken the internet by storm with a wave of jokes and memes. This unique baby attire is adorned with the opening line delivered by Skyrim’s NPC, Ralof, making it a hit among fans.
Skyrim, developed by Bethesda, is hailed as one of the greatest open-world RPGs ever. Since its 2011 debut, it has given rise to numerous legendary memes. Who could forget the famous “I took an arrow to the knee” phrase, which even found its way into Crysis 3 and LMFAO’s “Sorry for Party Rocking” video? More recently, another line from Skyrim’s opening dialogue by Ralof has become a new favorite among internet joke-makers.
In an amusing development, Jeanette Blasius, a cosplayer and illustrator from Alabama known by her online handle Gerbilminion, shared her latest creation. She posted on the Skyrim subreddit that she had printed Ralof’s unforgettable line, “Hey you. You’re finally awake,” on a baby onesie. Celebrating the arrival of her baby boy in June, she humorously referred to it as the perfect outfit for her new character. The online community showered her with praise for this charming garment, with fans calling it the best thing they’ve encountered in some time. Besides this, Blasius has showcased her skills by cosplaying characters like Flame Mother Lee Moldaver from the acclaimed Fallout TV series and a unique take on Link from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, sporting the Ember Set.
The custom onesie not only highlights Ralof’s popular line but also offers a nod to his significant role in Skyrim’s civil war questline. As a pivotal character, Ralof acts as a liaison between players and the Stormcloaks, who are vying for freedom from Skyrim’s ruling Empire.
Opposing Ralof is Hadvar, representing the Empire, whom fans appreciate for his integrity and sense of order within the Elder Scrolls universe. Both characters, though not fully-fledged companions, are willing to fight alongside players, depending on which faction they choose in the looming civil conflict.
Meanwhile, Bethesda is hard at work crafting the next chapter in this epic saga, The Elder Scrolls 6. As anticipated, the game will be available only on PC and Xbox platforms, based on recent disclosures linked to Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This highly awaited sequel might debut as early as 2026. However, as per Bruce Nesmith, a former Senior Game Designer at Bethesda, the new installment faces the daunting task of living up to the towering legacy left by its predecessors.
To commemorate a decade of adventure, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has celebrated over 200 Game of the Year awards. Its Anniversary Edition bundles in content curated over the years, including the core game and additional features from the Skyrim Special Edition. As players step back into this expansive world, they are reminded of the freedom, storytelling, and epic battles — such as facing down ancient dragons — that define the Skyrim experience. With an array of weapons, spells, and abilities, players can shape their own destinies, a hallmark of the series hailed for its immersive choices and adventures.
As we venture further into the magical realms of Skyrim and await its sequel, fans old and new can revel in the nostalgic and ever-evolving legacy that this remarkable RPG has to offer.
