i mean, if I can cobble together a coherent ME3 Ashley/FemShep romance w the save editor, thats one thing But I don't want to get there and NOPE and have just wasted two whole games of time

Apparently the ME3 mod for the same-gender romance series for LE doesn't exist (the mod author has been allegedly 'working on it" for four years but lol) and no other modder has deemed Ashley worthwhile to mod back in. I guess this is how my run stops. Not finishing 1/2 if I can't follow it to 3.

so to the annoyance of everyone i generally love and prefer writing GenFic over smut and I think I JUST figured out what my first story is going to be about.

The first time, "Why did Liara give Shepard to Cerberus" made sense. Elissa and Liara romanced. ...damn Liara did NOT take rejection well. 'No' is a sentence, Blue. Gee, wonder what possible incentive she could have to give Maria to Cerberus (plus she gets to spite Ashley)

my one new frustration: In Dragon Age, playing three games lets me create three blorbos, each of whom romances someone else. Mass Effect only lets me make ONE blorbo, and while in *theory* I can romance two or even three people, if I don't want to be a dirty cheater I shouldn't

also, have decided I am absolutely running the happy ending mod for ME3. My badass space marines deserve happily ever after, and I have never stopped hating the canon endings. Especially you Starchild.

me realizing that the relatively small amount of FemShep/Ashley fic means theres incentive for me to write them

I went ahead and took down the donation link since the need has been met. I don't want to take a cent from anyone unduly or unnecessarily. Thank you!!!

My hat has been in that ring for a long time.

I have long disagreed with the idea that obscurity is a writer's greatest obstacle. Is it my favourite thing? No. But I would literally rather die with my name forgotten and a hundred unpublished novels on my computer that no one will ever see than have a readership made up of genAI users.

one of the sub-plots of the Mass Effect Trilogy is Ashley's fam being blackballed from the service & her joining anyway - bc of her grandfather. She notes her dad "never made it above serviceman third class" and he was BEAMING when she made Gunnery Chief. There's a codex entry showing ranks and...

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

Elon Musk incited pogroms in Belfast.

Honestly just run all the 'Tales of the TARDIS' Doctor Who specials end to end at Christmas and put this one on last. The Doctor and Ace, off on more adventures. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. #doctorwho

Thoughts and prayers to the Doctor Who fandom today.

i miss living in seattle more than anyone on this hellapp can possibly understand

...sometimes i start feeling bad again by clogging up ppls feeds w my ocs and lore and info dumps

prob about yo spam bsky w a bubch of oc qotds abt Maria Shepard and Im sorry

my main problem trying to frame up Maria Shepard's character is that Thedas (Dragon Age) and Faerun (BG3) are wholly fictional worlds whose lore I am nose deep in With Sara Cecilia, I got lucky in that the game handed me an idea on a silver platter. Maria's a head scratcher.

I need to work out who Maria Shepard is, since I'm with her for THREE games. The basic bio gives some nuggets but there's so much left to fill in the gaps on. also, Vanguard w L3 biotic, did NOT go to 'brain camp'. This thread will mostly just be notes I make myself over time: (1/x) #MariaShepard

looking at my flags in the Mass Effect save editor and it seems Kaidan took the hint after all. Happy Pride Month Maria and Ashley! 🏳️‍🌈

upstairs Kaidan is patting himself on the back for shooting his shot, not realizing he is not Maria Shepard's type at ALL and meanwhile these two military brats are down in the Mako bay just making a game of how long they can hold out. no wonder garrus hides doing calibrations in ME2 #masseffect

I am SO tired

You used to go to websites and they would have guestbooks that people would sign like it was a bed and breakfast

Me knowingbthe next few hours of my life are gone seeing a 46 chapter fic about the couple im hyperfixated on that ive never read

“My mayor is Muslim” is a kalshi ad. Trump falling asleep at the game was a kalshi ad. DJ Khaled being on his phone was a kalshi ad. Wemby not getting the flagrant was a kalshi ad. You not knowing it was a kalshi ad was a kalshi ad. Michael Bloomberg almost dying? Actually that was polymarket.

Facts.

Jordana's ENTIRE world state is based on Ser Jory telling the truth at Ostagar. He and Helena lived in Highever, won a Grand Melee, etc. however my FAVORITE DA headcanon is that Jory was lying - about everything except Helena. ...and I've started turning the gears on a Jordana AU. #dragonage

...I haven't even left the Citadel and Maria Shepard and Ashley Williams are already HARDCORE flirting (enough Kaidan pointed out she was out of line and Shep told him to let it go) this mod is going to kill me happy pride month THIS PLAYTHOUGH IS BANANAS I AM WHEEZING. #masseffect

I'm reminded of this post I recently saw on Tumblr, that vp artists aren't often treated as the artists that they are. Like even outside of my personal experience, all my friends who do vp put a lot of effort into their shots, and learn actual legitimate skills to better their shots.

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

$15 minimum wage. Paid leave. Expanded child tax credits. The progress we've made in Illinois didn't happen by accident — it happened because working people organized and fought for it.

shaking all of my moots by the shoulders it's never shameful to love your OCs, to talk about them, to draw them, to write about them!! literally like OIUGH it's the best thing in the world! everyone, get even more hyperfixated on your OCs NOW!!

Timeline of my last two weeks: Develop allergies. Allergies basically go away Strep sees a throat wracked allergies, sets up shop. Get treated for strep, allergies come back for round 2. (My red car has a nice green coating and I've been tested, yes it's allergies and yes it's strep). Lovely

No, screencaps do not do this justice: Ashley: "Maybe the council just doesn't like humans?" Shep: "What's not to love. Human women are beautiful..." Ashley: "YOU AND ME, RIGHT NOW GORGEOUS. But no mini-skirt." Kaidan: *Uhhhh* #masseffect

This is literally just Dragon Age Inquisition: * Skyhold has planters for herbs. * Corypheus wants to be a god plus Hakkon Wintersbreath AND the Titan * You can decorate Skyhold * An entire section of a game is fighting a nightmare demon in its realm * Outfits AND Dragon slaying!

I am INCAPABLE of determining NPC romances in advance and it shows. Vilkė (Lavellan) translates to 'she-wolf' in Lithuanian. I LITERALLY named her with the intent to romance Solas. NOPE. Blackwall. I never FATHOMED Gabi and Amalia romancing Nathaniel and Tallis. etc. #daocqotd #dragonage

Wanna know something cool? This scroll of the Book of Esther was scribed by a 14 year-old named Luna Ambron in 1767 in Rome-- and it's one of the very few pieces of the sacred scribal arts that we *know* to have been scribed by a girl/woman before the 21st c. (Scribes don't sign their work sooo.)

There are no “guy games.” There are no “girl games.” Grow crops. Slay gods. Decorate the house. Survive the nightmare. Spend two hours picking the perfect outfit. Then go fight a dragon in it. Video games don’t have genders. The controller doesn’t care who’s holding it.
