#thank you for being reasonable at least

@camalyng

Hello there, reasonable person!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'clear' but that it might just be that Ashley is noting what she sees. She hangs out in the same area as Garrus and Wrex, and shares the same strength in combat that they bring. Garrus also brings tech and Wrex also brings biotics, but Ashley is just straight out combat strength, according to the stats when you're putting together a team.

I also vaguely remember her saying something to do with Liara, which showed a little jealousy. She just doesn't seem to have much fondness for aliens and of course the "I'm not racist" line, which always raises a few red flags.

I'm also just gonna put a few comments here...

Ashley: With all due respect, Commander, should they really have full access to the ship?

Ashley: I’m not sure I’d call the Council races ‘allies’…

Ashley: I can't tell the aliens from the animals.

You can definitely see why people would think Ashley's racist.

And the thing is, you can't necessarily tell if that's changed by the time of Mass Effect 2. She still works for the alliance, is on a human settlement, and doesn't join up. Pretty much just chews you out for being dead for 2 years and not contacting her during that time and refuses to join you since you're working with/for Cerberus.

I can also see why she wouldn't say much about Tali specifically. Tali keeps quiet and usually stays in engineering, I wouldn't be surprised if Ashley forgets Tali exists at times.

I guess I must have missed that side quest. To be fair, by the time I was getting to the end game I was getting... a bit tired of the first Mass Effect game. I did a few side quests but I didn't explore the galaxy all that much.

And yeah, tolerance isn't her main thing. I actually had to reload my save to save Wrex, because I was hoping if I kept talking to him, we'd get to a point where Shepherd would say 'look, we'll download any data Saren has that points towards a genophage cure while we're infiltrating' and Ashley decided that just shooting him would be the best idea. So I had to reload and just calm Wrex down directly. Luckily it is fairly easy to do if you went and got his family armour back for him.

Appearance wise, it was fairly obvious to me. The hairstyle change, and the pronounced lips just struck me as something that was fairly out of place with the straightforward soldier we knew in Mass Effect 1.

This could be put down to her simply employing a different style because we were on Earth, so she wasn't fighting any wars, but then we get to the mission on Mars... She could have easily tied her hair back, keep it out of the way, but no. She got some armour, yes, but... I dunno. She also just didn't seem quite as straight forward as she was in Mass Effect 1 and 2.

I dunno how else to put it. It just hardly feels like Ashley at all to me.

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

#the reason rsa doesn't have overblots is because they understand the joy and whimsy of life and friendship btw #LIKE. why is there no school counselor?? do you know how much time & resources & effort & TRAUMA we could have saved the students & #school from if ANYONE had reached out to riddle and was like 'hey are you alright i heard xyz and i wanted to let you know...'

In the event which I consider to be highly likely, as I don't expect people to read my tag rambles, especially not in gifsets (I have the hugely unhealthy habit of putting important meta in there more often than I'd like), I thought I should iterate it here too:

It's so important to me that people know that Kafka (or well, from how I read her) is neat, with which I mean that she's tidy, she's neat. You won't catch a happy Kafka if there's even a speck of blood on her clothes, nor will she be thrilled if there's blood on her person directly. Is this inevitable, considering what she does? Certainly, but have you heard how disappointed she is at even one mere stain? The sigh, the disappointment, and then the little audible vocal equivalent of a little footstomp. Yeah, this woman is neat, there's no question in my mind about it. You can talk to her post-fight, but if there's a stain anywhere on her attire, please know that you simply won't have her attention, and you will hear complaints like in that VO on repeat. You just, you just won't.

#[ mini study. ] she must have sought something extraordinary. everything she does comes at a great cost. #[ i know i've seen a thousand artworks on twitter with her like that and i understand the aesthetic. i get where it comes from. ] #[ i also know that people find that for some reason inherently sexy (god i hate this word; why do i hate it?) but-- she doesn't. ] #[ god; and then i'm reminded that blade is usually covered in blood? yeah. /yeah/. ] #[ thanks lauri. thank you for this. this absolutely calms kafka down in my head. ] #[ she's borderline pouting about it in my head. ] #[ but also to specify-- because i /know/ kafka has... many /cough/ opinions about blade fighting. but pls know there's a... ] #[ difference between being very likely at least semi-aroused by someone fighting. that doesn't automatically mean she's aroused by... ] #[ blood. like literally. fighting doesn't automatically equal killing. which does not automatically mean baths of blood; ladies and gents. #[ i should write on that once. ]

[ahc-au]

Heyyy! Love this au and I've gotta know something.

As far as we've seen Bishop's personal guards are all aliens and mutants and an oddly expressive Kraang. Personally I find it hard to believe that even as the beloved and totally-not-evil president, Bishop would ever trust aliens with his personal safety. Especially since in "The Day of Awakening" we see Bishop's personalised task force and it's 99% humans and one Triceraton (and the turtles ig). And I believe that one triceraton is just there for the sake of "Hey, why is there only one alien?"

In short, why do you think Bishop would trust aliens/mutants enough to make them his bodyguards? Or is there more to it?

Hello!! Fellow Bishop stannie 🫵 Very glad to hear you're enjoying the AU!

I'll say that I do believe the majority of Bishop's force is human, moreso because he operates out of earth and humans are still the overwhelming majority there. Any unnamed guards (or maybe they'll get names too eventually?) can be assumed to be human. The four named guards are, in a meta sense, pre-existing OCs repurposed to fill out the background and make the world feel a bit more lived-in.

It's worth mentioning that Bishop does not feel the same about aliens that he did in his EPF days. That's the major reason EPF is gone, after all! He still won't trust any of them, but that's about on par with how he treats anyone: distant and distrustful, hidden under a veneer of politeness. The way I've always parsed it, Agent Bishop didn't see aliens as people, more demons, and then being rescued threw that entire belief out of wack. So now humans/Terrans and aliens are a bit closer to the same level, for him. He'll prioritize Earth's citizens, but that seems to include some extraterrestrial immigrants, too, nowadays.

So! Having said that, there's a few other elements that go into it. For one, frankly, it just looks good for Bishop to employ aliens from among PGA's allies. It's a show of trust-- not that he entirely does; vets them very thoroughly. For another, non-humans just have really handy abilities. This gives him more versatility in how he can choose to approach a problem, if one ever arises (he is, after all, a military commander at heart.) For example (since I doubt it'll ever come up,) Hambone has an elasticity that means she can absorb blunt force and fit through small spaces. Lyssis (who has not made an appearance yet I'm p sure, woops,) can absorb fire and elecricity. Stuff like that, yknow?

Anyway that's about the jist of it, I hope that's a satisfactory conclusion! Some of these characters also have more involved reasons for getting recruited, but since that gets into OC lore I'll leave it below the cut 👍

--Adelram

I think it should be fine to divulge a little lore since, again, background characters, probably won't come up too centrally. Hambone and Lyssis were mutated incidentally in an attack on PGA HQ back in 2080. Bishop publicly took it upon himself to rehabilitate the mutants involved, (who had been driven mad and violent by the strange mutagen,) handing them off to his personal scientists. He kept closely involved, hoping to find a lead to the source of the attack, and for this reason both mutants partly credit him for their recoveries and even being able to meet each other. They're loyal for this reason, and he knows it. They are also undoubtedly citizens of Earth.

Ritter is a bit more of a wacky story, one that won't really effect the plot. But their being an Utrom is not publicly known, as it happens. It's not a secret, per se, but they pass so well that most people assume they're human. They've been around since EPF, having served under Agent Bishop among its ranks. Bishop is aware they're an Utrom, and unfortunately they've proved very loyal and very useful, so he supposes he has to keep them around. It is pretty nice having a guard who doesn't need to sleep and only eats like once a month. This is also kinda the only life Ritter has ever really known, being under Bishop's command. They'd follow him anywhere, would do anything he asked of them.

#ahc asks #thank you for the questions! always great to see you in the inbox heheh #AGENT Bishop certainly wouldn't have allowed anything like this. He'd be pissed and terrified which then just makes him more pissed #President Bishop though has since learned the art of 'being nice makes people trip over themselves to do you favors' #he is more familiar with alien cultures as people instead of viewing them through the lens of war #he doesn't share his Agent counterpart's loathing hatred for them anymore #(at least. not the ones in PGA. the ones actively gunning for earth? yeah he's gonna kill em when the chance arises 👍) #so in general he's pretty assured in his guards' loyalties. if he ever had reason to doubt they'd be fired immediately at best #extra OC lore fun fact! Ritter has been here so long they were also most of the others' trainer! #They trained in Hambone for sure. And ever since they haven't stopped putting on the teacher voice around her #like 'wow Hambone that was a great shot! you're doing a great job!' #and she's like I've been working here for over a DECADE. STOP

💜 Two Good Girls Praising Each Other 💜

@lovelyspiral and I were such good girls together just a bit ago. 💖 Seems at least one of my sir’s friends make for very fun playmates! We were rubbing ourselves together & imagining pressing our tits together. We imagined pressing our faces into one another’s bodies and into each other’s crotches. We were giving each other hot ass visuals (and hot ass visuals earlier too) & even sent audio to one another of us both being whimpering & needy good girls. We talked about what if we did a subby photoshoot together that we could show the group (and show my dearest sir Nova). Us both showing off how good we are to everyone! Our asses pressed together all subby to show off how good we both are. Photos of our tits pressed together, us kissing pressed together, and touching each other at the same time. Getting each other so sensitive and wet! 💜 Grinding our crotches together, frotting together, good girl dick up against good girl clit and hole. Rubbing our good girl parts together until our wetness is all mixed together on each other. Our bodies all up against one another, rubbing and needy. 💖 We kept rubbing & rubbing together, praising each other into horny oblivion with no one else there to praise us. Real lift yourself up from your bootstraps moments haha! 💖 Anyway, we just kept going and fantasizing about being good girls together! We kept saying please please please I need to be up against your good girl dick and good girl hole! Wanting each other sooo bad. We were so needy together & she sent me audio that drove me to next-level arousal. I in turn sent Love audio too & ended up cumming in that audio, it was one of the more fun climaxes I’ve hit recently. We both needed to frot & fuck each other soooo bad and kept praising each other for rubbing & being good girls. 💜 Repeating this fantasy of our bodies pressed together, tasting, touching, frotting, & fucking with the visuals and audio. Over & over we went until we were both whimpering messes! This plus the repeated praise & being so needy for one another drove us both to cumming (I came a 2nd time) and it was just soooo much fun! 🤤💦💦💜💖 The only downside was there was no one there to see both of us being such good girls; so, I wanted to recall it for you all. I hope my domme reads this soon! I want Nova to see so bad! 🥰💖💜

#if I left out any details please do add to this Love! I want everyone to see how good we are! 😻💖 #My writing got a bit messy here remembering all the fun we had. oops 🥵 #I was already worked up; Love telling me her fun thoughts got me going even worse >\\\\\\\\\< #I’m such a sucker for audio & visuals >\\\\\\> #thank you again Love! 💜 we should do this again sometime & practice being good girls together for double the goodness! 💖 #I would actually genuinely wanna do a photoshoot like that too not just for thirst reasons but I think it would be fun and boost confidence #my confidence at least anyway 💜💜💜 #rose.txt #my writing #yeah I’ll add this to the writing tag even though it’s such a mess; it’s about the journey or whatever or something; words; you get it #trans nsft #trans ns/fw #trans sub #nsft trans #trans ns/ft #nonbinary nsft #enby nsft #cuteuals

Thoughts on toxic yuri?

One of my very favorite storytelling concepts, I love it when women make each other worse. <3

I do think it's important, for me anyway, to note the difference between a dynamic that's toxic in one direction versus something that is mutually toxic. The first one doesn't really interest me a whole lot, usually because it means one character suffers constantly without being allowed to do anything else--at the very least, it will come across as the more ""normal"" character not really being that into the relationship in question. I need BOTH parties to be unhinged.

The important thing for any fictional relationship (though we're specifying toxic yuri here, obviously) is that it's interesting. If there is no limit to what the women can do within a dynamic, then there are an infinite number of ways for that dynamic to go. And while you can learn a lot about a character through examining their values and positive qualities, you can learn just as much (if not more) by considering their flaws. And those flaws really come out in the case of toxic yuri; characters get to show the uglier parts of themselves in this context, which I am always a fan of. A fraught, complex relationship, when written well, can be a really great way to psychologically explore the characters: what inspires them to act this way? why do they think this behavior is acceptable? if they don't think it's acceptable, why do they keep doing it? what do they think about the concept of love as a whole? how far would they go for intimacy or to be understood? how do they view other people in general? and probably most importantly, what led to them developing the beliefs underlying their actions in the first place?

From a more "psychologically, why do people enjoy this" standpoint, mutual toxicity often goes hand in hand with extreme obsession, extreme jealousy, and a willingness to forgive a whole lot of horrible shit. Which, yeah, in real life you don't want to be in a relationship like that. But I think there's a lot of emotional resonance in exploring those feelings. The idea that someone will never leave you. That they think so intensely about you specifically that they'll break anything and anyone to stay with you. That even if you're the worst version of yourself, someone will still want you because that's still you. Someone knows exactly how to fuck you up because they genuinely understand you. Things in fiction that we would never want in real life can be incredibly interesting or even cathartic to witness from a distance. I think we all feel things that scare us sometimes (or even simply feel an innocuous emotion so intensely that it scares us), and looking at unpleasant feelings within fiction can help identify, parse out, process, and successfully cope with those feelings. And I think, at the end of it all, a lot of people want to matter to someone, in some way. It makes sense that some creators would take that concept-of meaning a great deal to another person, of affecting them deeply-to its absolute extreme through writing.

(And also, consider. That I am very gay. And that horrible women are very attractive.)

[mobius-m-mobius]

Just wanna share that I bought the Loki-Mobius lego figures after the finale and set them up facing each other on my shelf so that they can at least be together in whatever alternate universe that counts lmao. Had a hard time putting on the wigs but they look cute holding each other's prop (I switched the prunning stick to Loki and the second dagger to Mobius) so it's totally worth it. The way they have a grip on my psych...

Ahhhhhh I love that so much!!! Ty for sharing, we all definitely need little moments like that in our day to get through the finale because a week later I've managed to stop crying on a regular basis but am pretty much relying on fix-it fics and all the stunning fanart around here to get by 😅

So glad your Loki and Mobius are another set of many who are now back together in the multiverse and can't wait until our Lokius are able to find their way back to each other too!

#thank you so much again for the most delightful ask and for reminding me to buy those figures too lol #got my funkos of them positioned together for the same reason and at least take a little comfort from them being by each others side 🥰 #hope you're doing well and have the best weekend ahead!! #sending lots of love your way 💖 #ask

I just read the Blade AITA post and I just want to thank you for being the funniest person alive!!! LMAO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU CONTRIBUTION TO THIS FANDOM

You're welcome! And thank you for such a nice message! <3 I did say, in October I think, if that goes down as the most popular thing I ever do for Shepherds of Haven, I'd be happy with that. Especially since I know my fan fiction has less broad appeal for the fandom as a whole. Admittedly I'm still shocked how well it went over. I really wasn't expecting people to like it so much! It still feels a little surreal, tbh. But I'm very happy that folks got such a kick out of it! (For those curious and don't know what anon is talking about, it's this blorbo AITA. It came about from a combination of my "do it for the bit" sense of humor, a random fit of confidence late at night, and inspiration from this fan art by devourthesnack.)

#thank you again for the ask! I'm so happy you loved it! #btw anon you have something in common with my husband because he also thinks I'm very funny lol #while I understand Blade's reasons for thinking Red is sus I don't agree with him #Red is clearly the second least sus person in the Shepherds! (Shery being the least obviously!) #nice anon <3 #blade bronwyn #shepherds of haven #shoh

truly something that, amidst facing / going through a dramatic Life Change ft. unavoidable emotional effects of that, there are instances where i can't conceal any & all degrees of being distressed / upset, & repeatedly getting "it's hard for me too" as a Direct Response to that: really something & a half how the asserted theoretical Sympathy of [i feel similarly!] is invoked so as to, oh you know, preclude sympathetic Treatment. such as that what would be More sympathetic in these instances would be to say Nothing, "if there's nothing but dismissal / making it first & foremost about someone else's feelings to say, don't say it at all" style
