I'm 12 chapters in to my roughly 30 chapter Ryder/Reyes story. Good or bad Sara Cecilia is never going to be "fawn" or "flight" or "freeze" when faced w crisis points. She's absolutely the "FIGHT" in the "Four F's". And >that's< the driver of conflict. What if she's actually her own worst enemy.

holy shit

Hold on I have something for this~

happy international women's day to all my international women

I may have only *published* two chapters of my Ryder/Reyes fic, but I've finished writing and editing NINE, part way into Act 2. (and most of the rest of act 2 is in drafts.) Y'all these two got to me.

HELLO IT IS DRAGON AGE II DAY!!!!! This game will always have my heart and all of my love. Please enjoy these pictures by @geek-kay.bsky.social from back when I first made my Bethany Hawke costume for Dragon Con 2019 and had built this costume in a month. Kay's also always a delight to shoot with!

the whole purpose of the post-menopausal woman is to prevent the rise of generative AI

I will absolutely wind up reading every single F!Ryder/Reyes fic on AO3 before this thing is over, and then I'll just wind up writing more fics myself when I run out of fics to read. of COURSE these two idiots would be my greatest muse.

regarding fandoms I make the fandom I want to see in the way I engage with it. Others are welcome to come along for the ride or not. If people are being angry hateful little buttheads, they're welcome to take a long walk off a short pier. But I will NOT let the thing I love be ruined by them.

"In some of your screenshots Sara Cecilia has blue eyes, in other she has green eyes. What gives?" A side effect of SAM. She had green eyes at birth, but SAM's influence changes the color. Reyes points it out, and she realizes she's never seen Kadara - or him - with 'her' eyes and gets SAM to undo.

A little Pathfinder Ryder, as a treat

the first chapter of my Ryder/Reyes fic, 'The Charlatan in Our Hearts', is now live. A four act twisty space mystery with plenty of romance, as Reyes' past comes back, and their past and present conspire to destroy their future archiveofourown.org/works/80701611

VERY IMPORTANT REASON to re-read old chapters: A character note I made a very, very big deal of in chapter 2 regarding a change to the protagonist (Sara Cecilia)'s appearance that in the original version of Chapter 5 she and her *LOVE INTEREST* (Reyes) don't talk about at ALL?! Bad Chillsea

Ohtani cranks a grand slam in team Japan’s first game of the 2026 WBC. In Tokyo. Blessed to be alive to see this. Sound UP.

@linnybobinny.bsky.social surprised me with a sprite of my Ryder from Mass Effect Andromeda - Sara Cecilia - and I love it to bits. Thank you so much! 😭

tagging on AO3 is hell on earth for me. I tend to write (and prefer to read) long form *stories* that have a hell of a lot of things going on at different times. Yeah, Chapter 2 may have [x], but Chapter 7 has [y]. There's conflict but is there 'angst'? This is maddening

after a barrage of car troubles that obliterated us this week, the bowel obstruction scare with butter came at the absolute worst time and the urgent visit to our vet wiped out our grocery budget for both us and the cats for the week. 😭 shares and donations are both appreciated. <3 #mutualaid

My commissions are open! Could really use the money to help offset the car repair expenses this week. 🥺💔

finally in a good enough place again I hope to upload the Reyes/Ryder fic soon

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus. Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I used mods to put Sara Cecilia in a fancy dress for the final dance with Reyes in his romance and 😱😍🔥 #masseffect #andromeda

honestly if it wasn't for @linnybobinny.bsky.social i'd be feeling like i'd somehow got shadowbanned on here a while back (maybe bsky admins hate andromeda or something) anyway today's been a top ten worst day of my life but I so totally appreciate your support & friendship

Between "I had to cancel surgery this morning due to insurance changes after getting bullied out of my old job" and "literally no one was responding when I talked about posting it anyway", fridging chapter 1 of the fic until further notice and deleted the other posts. today's lovely

every damn body but like three people proved today exactly what kind of '''''friends''''' they are but okay sure

its breathtaking how since the surgery cancellation became official this morning i have juat completely lost the will to do anything. at all. complete systems collapse.

the windows 12 rumors are the first thing that has ever made me say "maybe I'll give linux another shot" and I despise linux and like 85% of its 'community' (obnoxious manchildren) I hate AI and subscription models THAT much

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

venting without action will just dredge it up and make it worse its mean but i DO hope that no one who encouraged me to move to this shithole 18 months ago knows a moments peace until i have surgery though

NOT JUST THIS: Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers. This could be a major night in NC.

people have no idea how hard i am working to be able to even pretend to keep my mentals half glued together right now
