Aria, Nyreen and Shepard make the most toxic yuri throuple ever.

A ruthless asari, a gentle turian and a wild card human who each have their own rules and moral codes that they allow 0 compromise on. It's a threeway of "my way or the highway"

Especially since this is Shepard's free time, it's their personal affair that they docked the Normady for and left Joker twidling his thumbs and playing footsies with EDI while they went to start a revolution with their two gfs.

It's also the king, soldier and poet in a way. Aria is clearly the queen of Omega, Shepard the soldier and Nyreen the ex-military biotic leading a resistance and watching over civilians. Not very poet like but in the times of war she is the closest thing to one.

They both mutually trust Shepard too, lack of history of backstabbing and all. Be it paragon or renegade, your actions will always gain the favour of one of them.

You can make Aria softer, you can influence Nyreen to be harsher, you're the weight that tips the scale in favour of one or another.

Aria can't be left with one of you alone because the other person ends up becoming like her, she has this influence and magnetic pull on people to naturally seek her approval.

Both you and Nyreen need to be there to anchor one another and make sure you don't lose your true selves to the queen's influence, the soldier and the poet working together.

Sunset (& Shimmer) versus the Siren Sisters.

Finally got to designing the Dazzlings. First time doing monsters too, it was fun. I'll post a synopsis of Sunset's story for the AU below the cut.

Once upon a time, there lived a human in Canterlot simply named "Sunset." She was the prized pupil of the Sun Witch Celestia (aside from Celestia's adoptive daughter, Cadance) –– her "little solar flare." But Sunset desired more than status; she wanted power –– she wanted to be a Witch. For when she looked in the mirror, she no longer saw a lowly human, but the Fire Witch she was meant to be.

The more Celestia denied her desires, the stronger her animosity grew. One night, Sunset performed a dark, forbidden ritual to commune with the spirit world and grant her a Witch's body. But the ritual backfired when Celestia stormed in. In the ensuing chaos, a piece of Celestia was transferred into Sunset and three wicked spirits were released into the physical world: the Siren Sisters –– Aria, Sonata, and the most powerful, Adagio.

Despite her best efforts to contain the sirens, Celestia could not stop them from escaping to Earth where she could not reach. Distraught, betrayed, and heartbroken, Celestia banished an inconsolable Sunset to Earth. Only once she vanquishes the three spirit blights she brought upon this world will she be allowed to return home.

Today, Sunset wanders the American West with her trusty steed Shimmer in search of the final and eldest sister. She's known by many names to those who cross her path: the Dragon Killer, la Vaquera del Fuego, the Flame of the West. And through her years of traveling alone, her hatred burns hotter and hotter –– hatred of Celestia, hatred of the sirens, and hatred of herself.

did yall know cricut put a metal strip in the back of their newer Maker 3 that doesn't do anything except pop out after like six months of regular use and force you to call customer service so they can tell you to replace the machine

well they did and instead of calling them and replacing an entire functional fucking machine you can just cut the bar out and put tape over what's left

More on the stripper Shepard au, less of an infiltration mission, and more of a late payment to Aria in exchange for her help in previous missions.

Like it is the Shepard™ there is no mistaking it by anyone watching you from the crowd, the sculpted body, those buff thighs, the scars barring proof of every near death mission. That renowned face they've only ever seen on the galactic news and in medal ceremonies—now so upclose, sultry bedroom eyes and hair damp with sweat.

Aria not shying the slightest from advertising it, treating it as sadistic powerplay. Oh, but not at your expense. You see, she let you keep one weapon of your choice. She just wants to see how many people would risk their life for a single touch, or are you the type to draw the line at catcalling.

It's like dangling a delicious pound of meat in front of starving dogs, except there's a dragon guarding it, Shepard being both the prize and the dragon in this situation.

And if you're a Paragon Shepard, who's kind and forgiving to a fault, then Aria herself would put the dogs back in their place after rolling her eyes; this is personal business. You are a personal matter in her views. She just wanted to parade you around and show the people what they can never have. Otherwise, anyone who dreams of touching her toys will quickly face the consequences.

You could also spin it into Shepard rolling with it and giving the role its deserved effort and more, maybe getting the chance to give the character you romanced a lap dance. Playfully role-playing being merely a stripper and a customer, two strangers in a bar. Spoiling Aria's whole powerplay plan as she witness you have fun with this, confident and in your element on your partner's lap.

If you didn't romance anyone, the default choice becomes a random patron amidst the crowd. It's their lucky day. You get to pick between a random turian, quarian, krogan, asari, or the salarian bartender who's just geeking out over you being Commander Shepard rather than caring about the sexual act itself.

The random asari pisses Aria off the most.

so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.

first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.

it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.

and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.

you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.

and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.

your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.

in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.

in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.

so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.

you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.

once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.

and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"

you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?

hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!

you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.

we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?
