Mass Effect Trilogy appreciation week - day 3

hi mom, I have a thing I want to talk to you about. I’m free for the next 8 hrs (traveling, location classified (spectre business sorry)), call me if you can?

Hi Jane. It’s good to hear from you. I can call you in an hour or so. How private a conversation do you need?

private private

I’ll make sure to give the comms crew an early night off then.

thanks mom, love you

Love you too, Jane. See you soon!

-

Hannah Shepard had to admit she was nervous when she started the vidcall with her daughter. She was incredibly proud of her, but even she was getting increased scrutiny for Jane’s new position as the first human Spectre – she could only imagine all the pressure her daughter was under. And her request for a private conversation could mean anything from venting off steam to asking for help about a mistake that could cause intergalactic war if it was found out. She schooled her features into a reassuring smile by the time the call connected, and seeing her daughter’s face smoothed away most of her worries – she was trying to hide it, but she was looking more embarrassed than afraid.

“Hi Mom!”

“Hello Jane! It’s good to see you. How are you holding up?”

“I-” Hannah watched, as her daughter decided to drop the masks. She was glad she felt safe enough to do so, but she wished Jane didn’t have to hide herself at all. “I am so tired. Everyone is counting on me, and I wasn’t trained for politics, but Udina keeps telling me I could start a war with a wrong word…” she buried her face in her hands, and Hannah wished she could hug her through the screen. Jane looked back up, her expression immensely tired. “I never wanted all this.”

“I know, darling. God, I wish I could help, but I promise, you can talk to me about anything. I love you, and I’m so proud of you. I hope you know that.”

“I do, mom, and it helps.” She took a deep breath, and put on a weary smile. “Love you too.”

They sat in silence for a few seconds, before Hannah spoke up again.

“You said there was a… private ‘thing’ you wanted to talk about?”

Jane turned as red as her hair in a second, and she looked to the side. Hannah had to force back a smile – that reaction gave her a good idea as to what her daughter wanted to talk about.

“Well, there’s this… I mean I… I’ve met a…” Seeing her stammering made it impossible for Hannah to suppress a small laugh.

“What’s her name, darling?” She asked with a smile.

Jane buried her face in her hands again, but her reply was still audible: “Ashley. Ashley Williams.”

Williams? Probably a coincidence, the name was fairly wide-spread. Hannah chose to ignore it, at least for now. Instead, she asked: “What is she like?”

Her daughter looked back up at the screen, and while her face was still beet red, her eyes shined with an intense emotion. “She is wonderful. She is pretty, and smart, loves poetry, and has a big heart, despite all the shit the world has thrown at her- at first she had some… unfortunate views, but being on the Normandy helped her get some perspective-”

Hannah couldn’t help a sharp intake of breath at hearing that, and Jane noticed it, stopping with a guilty look.

“Jane. You said this Ashley is serving on your ship?” She tried to sound as non-judgmental as possible, but a lifetime of military career instilled an inherent reaction against fraternization.

“...yes. We picked her up on Eden Prime after her squad was killed by the geth.” Her daughter’s gaze turned determined. “And before you ask, yes, she is form that Williams family. She’s the granddaughter of the General Williams. And she has been punished for daring to be born into the wrong family enough.” Jane had fire in her eyes, and her whole expression radiated an unstoppable iron will. Hannah realized that she just got a look at the Commander Shepard, Hero of Elysium, and she got immediately ashamed for forcing this reaction out of her daughter.

“I’m sorry, Jane.” The words, and their shameful tone, seemed to shock the younger woman out of her soldier-like vehemence. “You came to me as your mother, and I reacted like a career soldier. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have reacted like that.”

“No, Mom, I- I understand. For a long time I did the same whenever I caught myself having… feelings for Ash. But we’ve been through so much already, and the way things are going…” She gave Hannah a sad smile. “I can’t keep lying to myself. Even if I don’t act on it, I have to be honest with myself, or I’m afraid of losing who I am in all the acting I have to do.”

Hannah felt her heart breaking for her child. She was unspeakably proud of her, but she also wished she could just live her life as a regular woman, as far from the pedestal the Alliance put her on as possible.

“You deserve all the love and happiness in the world, Jane. I love you, and no matter what anyone says, I’ll continue to love you and support every decision you make.” With a half smile, she added. “Maybe your Spectre status also makes you exempt from fraternization laws too. You deserve some perks with all the burdens.”

Jane laughed at that. “It’s worth looking into, I guess.” She gave her mother a grateful smile. “Thank you, Mom. Sorry for bullrushing you like that, I just had so many emotions about this-”

“You have nothing to be sorry for, darling. You have so much on your plate, and I shouldn’t have added to it.” After a little pause, she asked, a bit hesitantly: “Does Ashley know…?”

Once again, Jane’s face reddened, and she scratched the back of her head.

“I… I think so? I have been trying to find out her feelings about, like, women and relationships and such, and she seemed…” she turned even redder “Receptive. Don’t know for sure though.”

Hannah smiled at her.

“You should talk to her then, openly, and I’m sure you can find a way to be together if that’s what you both want.”

“Yeah. I’ll… I’ll do that.” She gave her mother a sheepish, but grateful smile. “Thanks, Mom.”

“You’re very welcome, Jane.” They sat in a comfortable silence for a little, before Hannah asked. “How is your assignment going?”

“I wish I could tell you, Mom, but all details are Council-classified.” Came the answer with a frustrated sigh. “We’re getting close, I can tell, but the guy is slippery.”

Hannah gave a commiserating smile.

“I know how frustrating classified missions can be. I wish you luck, Jane.”

“Thank y-” Suddenly, Jane’s omnitool started flashing, indicating an incoming important message. “I’m sorry, Mom, I have to cut this short. It’s the Council.”

“Take care, Jane. And remember: I love you.”

Her daughter smiled at her through the screen.

“I will Mom. Love you too.” And she closed the call.

Hannah spent the next few hours of her off-duty cycle subtly contacting many of her friends, acquaintances and contacts among the Alliance brass, paving the way if she needed to call in some favors in the future. Her daughter might be a Spectre now, but surely she could still use the help of her mother every now and then.

REGIS SHEPARD - 15/??? "Well, what about Shepard? He's a spacer. Lived aboard starships most of his life." "Military service runs in the family. Both his parents were in the navy." "He got most of his unit killed on Torfan." "He gets the job done. No matter what the cost." "Is that the kind of person we want protecting the galaxy?"

Quick question for everyone, what would happen if these two meet? And don't hesitate to get creative with your response

[starswallowingsea]

I have been thinking about what types of notions and things the craft dorm (what I've been calling the Shu/Izumi/Kuro/Mao dorm) would have in their respective kits and ended up making some collages with my thoughts. In order it's Shu, Izumi, Kuro, and Mao. Longer explanation below the cut.

Shu:

Since he canonically makes lace I put all sorts of different lace making tools on his. In the english server it got translated as crochet and crochet lace can be absolutely gorgeous and it's pretty portable so it makes sense, hence the steel hooks. The other lace making tools are bobbins and a bobbin pillow and a tatting shuttle. While tatting is the "lesser" form of lace making compared to crochet and bobbins, it's by far the most portable as the thread is wound around the shuttle and to me Shu would probably do tatting on the plane to/from Japan and France. Also included for him are pretty generic sewing notions, your pins and pincushion, scissors, a needle and thread, t-pins, and beeswax. T-pins can be used to block the lace as well, and the beeswax is for hand sewing. Fun fact but if you run your thread over beeswax a few times before starting to sew it'll help strengthen your thread and prevent it from splitting! Shu also heavily prefers working with natural fibers over synthetic.

Izumi:

Guy absolutely uses DPNs (double pointed needles) for his knitting, at least when it comes to socks and hats. I believe in some of the examples of his knitting we've seen he has done cabling so a cable stitch holder is there as well, though I can imagine he does it without it too if it gets lost. He also has a ball winder and I wish I had thought to put a swift on here too but like Shu, he prefers to get natural fibers over synthetic and hand dyed wool is great but it comes in hanks which areeeeeee hard to work with so a swift and ball winder would be necessary for him. Also included are more t-pins, a blocking board, stitch markers, and yarn needles.

Kuro:

To me, Kuro is the type of guy to make scrap quilts with left over fabric from the outfits he makes for his friends (and also out of like old shirts his sister has grown out of), so he has a huge scrap fabric pile he's constantly thinking about what type of blocks to make them into. I feel like he'd also make his own appliques for these quilts and would use basting spray to hold those down, obviously. Also the type of guy who just carries spare buttons on him in case of an emergency. Also has a seam ripper, scissors (thread, fabric), a tailor's measuring tape, and a cutting board.

Mao:

I know he doesn't really craft but to me? He's a crocheter. He tried knitting once and failed very badly but crochet (in my opinion at least) is a lot easier to grasp for beginners and I think he made the dorm a few dish cloths at first but mostly makes amigurumis now of his favorite manga characters, as well as little toys for his friends, hence the safety eyes. Probably works more with synthetic fibers due to ease of accessibility and variety of colors, though he tries not to buy too much of the same color unless he knows what it'll be used for. Also has stuffing, yarn needles, stitch markers, and a little crochet hook carrying case.

General Notes:

There were some things I didn't think to add until after I had already finished all of these collages, and some things that were things I thought everyone would have. To start, Shu would obviously also have a blocking board for his lace blocking, and as mentioned earlier Izumi would have a swift. Shu probably also has a swift and ball winder or just borrows Izumi's when he buys anything heavier than thread for crochet (which isn't often so I'm leaning more towards borrowing). Kuro would also have a bar of beeswax for the same reason as Shu, as well as maybe a thimble? Though I suppose it depends on how much he cares about his fingers being callused from the needle. Shu has a thimble. I also think all four of them would have some sort of project bag, whether it's just an old backpack or something a bit more expensive, they all have something that allows them to take their crafts on the go.

Anyway that's all I had but please tell me your thoughts if you want :3

Wtf even. Human AUing everybody. Guy. the snake from guys backstory. Indulgence

Stretching Endless Night

BdoubleO is the pilot of LTS-143, on its way from the Meridian to the Prometheus, two space stations a week's flight apart. On board with him is his friend and life partner, Etho Slab. It's supposed to be a quiet journey, with few problems, and little to do besides pace around and play cards.

This is not the case.

(so...about that ethosweep + first chapter of the space au promise I made. well, here you go! also, huge shout out to @oh-snapperss for being my enabler <3)

Two days after launch, Etho asks him about the timeline again. He says:

“So how long was it again?”

And Bdubs has to bite his tongue lest he say something to tick Etho off. 

Instead, Bdubs leans back in his chair, away from the control panel, to where he can see Etho sitting next to him. Etho tosses something—a coin, a piece of metal, Bdubs can’t be sure—into the air, and Bdubs watches it drop back into his hands. He turns back to toggle a button.

“Seven days,” he says, shifting in his seat. “Six and a half if we push it.”

Etho hums thoughtfully for a moment. It seems to sate him.

It’s strange, Bdubs knows, when he turns back to face the twinkling expanse in the front shield of the ship, that they’re even here. Three days ago, Bdubs’ feet were planted firmly on the artificial grass and gravity of the space station, with no intention of going anywhere, and not certainly with the likes of Etho. He startles. No. That’s not what he means. He trusts Etho with his life—a lot more than just his life. But Etho wasn’t a space guy. He didn’t travel. He didn’t walk. He stayed in and kept to himself and his projects and made the ship better on the inside, not the outside. He was reclusive. But now he was wearing a grey flight suit that looked a little too good on him. A big 02 emblazoned on the back. His name stitched in fine letters on the front. Bdubs sighs, swiveling his seat around.

“At least it was a smooth takeoff.”

“We’ve had worse,” Etho says, nonchalantly. He’s still tossing that coin, watching it flip into the air and back into his hand. Rhythmic. Bdubs eyes stop following it to circle the crescent shaped room. It’s not a small space, either. Along the wall are more panels, displays, and two other seats unused. 

Bdubs rises, trying to will his blood to flow back into his legs despite the lackluster artificial gravity onboard. He shakes them a bit before he steps down the platform and into the greater room. It’s his ship. He’s not a captain—not even close. But the 01 on his back means that he’s responsible for it running in order—and getting back in one piece. He’d gone through the safety protocols, he’s run the necessary courses. He’d been the one to get Etho out of bed two mornings ago when he’d been running late for final checks, for god sake. 

Bdubs narrows his eyes at him when he looks over.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Etho eyes him back. “The test flight?”

Oh. Bdubs sighs, turning back around. He waves a hand in Etho’s direction, as if trying to dismiss the accusation all together.

“That was one time!” he tries. Etho hums.

“Yeah, and we almost crashed—”

Bdubs whips around to look at him again, pointing a finger in his direction.

“You almost crashed us.”

Etho huffs, his expression smug.

“Not true.”

“Sure, alright,” Bdubs rolls his eyes. “You’re the worst.”

“Hey, you keep bringing me along.”

Yeah. Okay. Etho was right.

And now the man, his friend, best friend, his partner, slept above him in the bunk and ate his share of the first ready-to-eat meal they had together. It was a quiet sort of solitude in space. One that became too much if you faced it alone. But he wasn’t alone. He had Etho. He always had Etho.

“Where’re you off to?” Etho says, leaning his head back to watch him. Bdubs shrugs.

“Dunno,” he says. “Figured I’d find something to do.”

“What about a round of cards?”

“What do I get if I win?”

“Uh…” Etho frowns. Bdubs realizes he isn’t wearing his mask, at that moment, and. It’s not like he hasn’t seen his face but, it’s special, somehow. He feels something well up in his chest. He smiles back at him, letting that something bubble up into a laugh when Etho says: “How about my chocolate pudding? If I get it in the next ready-meal.”

Bdubs sticks his hand out.

“Deal.”

Etho takes it. Deal. After a beat of silence, making their way into the kitchen, Etho asks, with no particular leaning toward an answer:

“So how’d we end up doing this anyway?”

(We as in Etho and Bdubs–a hardware engineer and a software engineer. This as in the transfer to the Meridian for a four month project Bdubs was spearheading. There had come a point where his work on the Prometheus was overlapping with that from the Meridian. Tango had made a few calls, and suddenly there was a reassignment and training modules and choose a second in command and STS-143 and Etho smacking the hull and saying “well it does the space-ing” and it being called the Spacer, under their breaths in the back of meetings. It was BdoubleO- 01 on his flight suit and finally lifting off and now he was here, playing cards, sitting cross-legged in front of Etho, whose tongue was caught between his teeth as he shuffled.

Bdubs is praying he isn’t going to cheat this time.

But he knows better.)

❝This is how fire wrecks a home.❞

Mila Reneè Shepard

I wanted to introduce my version of female Shepard! There will be a series soon so I wanted to give a background of her before we dove into the story! I got this layout idea from @theshepcollective

Spacer

Sole Survivor

Paragon: 80 Renegade: 20

Romance: Garrus

Closest Friends: Garrus, Tali, and Joker

Mila was born in Seattle Washington in the month of May, to mother (Hannah) and father (Richard) Shepard. However, they didn’t stay on Earth since both parents are in the Alliance Military they went to different space stations, ships, and everything in between.

With that Mila only grew up knowing how to fight and use weapons. She was especially good with close combat and hand to hand. Her father taught more of her hand to hand skills while her mother taught her all the weapons she would be able to fight with.

Also being a spacer she learned that she loved to explore. To see new things, discover new planets. That eventually she would want to do it with her own ship and crew.

Right when she turned 18 she went and signed up for the Alliance military and graduated on the top of her class. While her mother was promoted to Captain and her father promoted to Sargent.

The Shepards stayed together until Mila hit the age of 20, being deployed with a group of men and women.

About 6 years passed as she ran with this squad, when your Captain was told to be deployed on a unknown planet she faced horrible odds. Being attacked by the habitants, creatures (including a Thresher Maw), and damn near everything.

Mila and another squad mate were the only ones left until the last day where the teammate got sick and died from the extreme conditions.

After being found and healed she was promoted to Commander and been offered in the N7 program. However, celebration was short lived as her father had died from cancer weeks after.

At the age of 28 she was assigned to Captain David Anderson and the Normandy Crew. Where she eventually took over the Normandy Crew and travelled across the galaxy to fight the Reapers.

Mila had a LOVELY crush on Garrus Valkerian when they first met. It turned slowly into a friendship as time went on, until she was able to see him again (ME2) When she realized that she actually did like him. It flourished turned into talking about the future and being together.

Rewrite the Stars: Garrus x Mila

Monstertober & Yantober Day 3: AI, Secret Collection ft. Yan!Android

content: gender neutral reader, AI yandere, suggestive

"I'm truly sorry for troubling you like this", your synthetic partner repeats, visibly embarrassed.

You pat his shoulder reassuringly.

"Hey, it's faster than going through all the security checks at the border. I may be no Spacer engineer, but I can still have a look at your kernel to check what’s wrong."

You wait for the screen to load as the man sits patiently next to you, adjusting the cables presently plugged into the nape of his neck.

"Just a lot of overhead, really", you conclude, glancing over the processes. "Nothing a little decluttering can't fix."

One folder immediately catches your attention. It's not part of the system management, yet it seems to occupy a tremendous amount of memory space. You hum to yourself, deciding to investigate.

The files flood your screen: thousands upon thousands of documents, photos, and videos of you. Personal information, family albums, images taken from your investigations, as well as recordings of your intimate moments, followed by written commentary. It appears that your romantic escapades with the android coworker have been thoroughly analyzed for improved efficiency.

"Did you record every time we-"

Your computer goes black for a brief moment. The incriminating folder is now locked under a big, bold warning: unauthorized access.

"I'm afraid that's rather confidential, (Y/N)", he retorts, avoiding your gaze. "It is my private collection."

You take a moment to gather your thoughts, going over the sheer madness you just witnessed.

"I'm not that hard to satisfy", you finally remark, still hung on the essay pages regarding your sexual arousal.

"Not at all, no", he says as a faint grin forms on his face. "I simply prefer to be thorough in my research. You will agree, I hope, that no other partner could possibly compete with my performance.

That is to say, I have merely ensured that I am the best fit for you."

Co można zrobić aby zapobiec binge?

Mam dla was moją listę pomysłów!

Pierwszy etap gdy czujesz, że to może zaraz nastąpić:

1. Żucie gumy i popijanie wodą

2. Wypij napój zero/herbate zieloną

3. Zrób ćwiczenia oddechowe

4. Przejrzyj Tumblr

Jeśli nadal nie możesz przestać o tym myśleć to przychodzi etap drugi:

1. Umyj zęby

2. Przejrzyj zdjęcia zepsutego jedzenia

3. Weź chlodny prysznic/umyj twarz

4. Poświęć czas na swoje ciało zastanawiając się nad tym ile musisz pracy w nie włożyć

Teraz pomimo tego czy etap drugi okazał się pomocny czy nie, idziemy do ostatniego etapu. Etap trzeci czyli działania:

Zacznij robić różne aktywności, zacznij od tych, które wymagają mało myślenia.

1. Spacer

2.Posluchaj podcastu

3. Obejrz film

4. Posprzątaj pokój

5. Przejrzyj szafe

Po tym możesz pograć w gry, które w jakimś stopniu wymagają twojego zaangażowania i czasu. Tu już wedle preferencji. Ja polecam Simsy,sudoku lub wordle :)

To tyle z mojej strony, może komuś to pomoże tak jak mi! Pamietajcie, że nad binge trzeba pracować bo często nawet ta lista nie pomoże bo nie dajemy rady kontrolować tego :)

[a-melisa]

Sposoby na radzenie sobie z głodem

1. Herbatki ziołowe - jesteś głodna/y ? Wypij zielona herbatę lub melise

2. Spanie - nie dość że nabierzesz sił do życia to jeszcze nic nie zjesz

3. Zajmij się swoim zainteresowaniem - rozwijanie swoich pasji jest bardzo ważne, a jeżeli się wciągniesz w to co robisz to nic nie zjesz

4. Nauka - po co odkładać na ostatnią chwilę ? ( W wakacje naucz się czegoś ciekawego np. nowego języka, szydełkowania, robienia ładniejszego makijażu, projektowania)

5. Idź na spacer - jak wiemy spacery dużo dają

6. Poćwicz - przecież sport to zdrowie

7. Wypij dużą ilość wody naraz - zapcha cię

8. Posprzątaj - rodzice zawsze mówili że trzeba mieć porządek, zajmuje czas na jedzenie i jest to pożyteczne

9. Obejrzyj obrzydliwe zdjęcia jedzenia - kto by chciał jeść coś tak okropnego?

10. Stań na wagę, obejrzyj się w lustrze - brutalne, ale działa

11. Obejrzyj zdjęcia chudych osób - przecież chcesz wyglądać jak one

Jak coś sobie przypomnę to dopiszę

ps. zobaczcie mój poprzedni post bo potrzebuje pomocy pod tą kwestią

Trzymajcie się, powodzenia 🦋
