the squad having a picnic while liara runs around squeaking about protheans, kaidan and ash having a catch in the background with tali, garrus and wrex talking about the time wrex did a job for garrus' great granddad, shep having a damned nap in the sunshine

YES to all this.

Liara on cloud nine because PROTHEANS and friends.

Kaidan and Ash playing with Tali and explaining about some human sports, yessss.

Merrick would snooze like that; he's a lot like a cat and clearly there are no thresher maws in the vicinity, so time to doze since everyone else is awake.

Animals, CoD Ghosts HC’s

What animals/creatures are the Ghosts?

A/N🪶: These are just my options! Feel free to send me yours. These are for all the Ghosts, including former, deceased and current within the Ghosts game. This list will include Rorke, Ajax and Elias Walker. Also this is going to be formatted differently from the first HC, Natural Disasters.

David “Hesh” Walker - German Shepard

Hesh is loyal, probably to a fault. Willing to do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves and get the job done, even if he gets injured in the process.

^ Bringing me to my next point, Hesh is very protective of his family. The mere idea of anyone getting hurt is enough to get this man baring his teeth and attacking.

In the Natural Disasters list, I mentioned that Hesh, according to Urban Dictionary, means courageous, another trait of German Shepards.

One more trait that applies is also Shepards, really any animal in general, being alert as well. This is a given, though, considering he is a soldier in active war zones especially with such effective and deadly enemies. He needs to make every second count and can’t afford to slack in these areas.

I should mention that Shepards are obedient yet stubborn. Hesh knows when to listen to his superiors but he’ll easily let you know when he doesn’t agree with something. Think about when Merrick, Keegan and Elias (mask on) picked them up and Hesh was yelling about their dad still being caught in the crossfire. Merrick got Hesh to sit his ass down but Hesh was clearly not happy about it, understandably.

Logan Walker - Mountain Lion

Mountain lions can’t roar and Logan can’t, or —depending on your headcanons, consciously chooses not to— talk.

Logan finds other methods of communicating, for example, when he and Keegan were about to bust into the room to get to Ajax, Logan used his fingers to count down.

The National Wildlife Federation website says “Mountain lions are territorial and solitary. They use pheromones and physical signs… to define their territory.” (Mountain Lion, Fun Fact.)

Mountain lions are known for being very stealthy predators, again a given considering the fact we’re talking about the Ghosts.

The Mountain Lion Foundation describes them as being relentless hunters which almost connects it to the wiki quote for Logan that calls him a cold-blooded killer and an excellent soldier (CoD Ghosts: Wiki, Logan Walker, Personality.).

Elias T. “Scarecrow” Walker - Black Bear

Scary but not as scary as you may expect.

While Elias is certainly ready to do his job at any point no matter how bloody, he still has his weak spots, that being his sons.

He’s caring but while be stoic when necessary. He’s not territorial but will protect his friends and family when the time calls for it.

Also one detail I find cute about bears is that they have DNA relation to dogs, albeit very distant. I like to call bears giant murder puppies :D

Thomas A. Merrick - Grizzly Bear

I want to say that grizzly bears are often considered to be more dangerous than black bears and more likely to attack if given a reason to.

Both grizzlies and black bears can charge but where black bears may shift away at the last second and avoid attacking, grizzlies may continue to charge and attack their target (once again I’m thinking about Merrick punching Rorke because it just makes me laugh, that man was not ready).

Of course, Merrick is dangerous but he knows when the time is and isn’t appropriate despite his temper. Merrick is a big dude too, so I think this works (“stocky”).

Gabriel T. Rorke - Polar Bear

Once he has his sights on you, you’re already gone.

Hehe, polar bears are mighty dangerous.

Polar bears are bigger and stronger sometimes, but other time grizzlies and polars can be about the same in build.

Polar bears are more likely to attack considering they have fewer resources for food and typically eat a lot as well.

Fun fact: Polar bears don’t hibernate.

^^^ Piggy backing off that, Rorke doesn’t seem to be resting. He’s always planning something, whether it be a plan B or future plans.

He’s a very large and commanding presence who will find alternatives when desperate, willing to do what he must to make sure his plans are completed.

Keegan P. Russ - Leopard

Fast, sneaky. You don’t know he’s there until it’s too late.

Fun Fact: Leopards can roar. Keegan, though very quiet, stills speaks and intimidates with his voice when necessary.

Leopard’s are solitary and ambush hunters, I don’t need to explain this but I will.

If you recall, Rorke had a lot of trouble getting his nasty ass hands on Keegan after kidnapping the Walker family and Merrick.

His first objective was to find Keegan. In my eyes, it’s because he knows that as long as Keegan is alive, Rorke isn’t safe.

Like many animals, leopards care for one another, seen with families. I think Keegan is a very caring person but he avoids showing it often, which is fair.

Keegan continuously checks in with Logan throughout the game. In the underwater mission, he made sure Logan was okay. If you look closely when walking behind Keegan on the submarine, Keegan turns his head back to us briefly.

Alex V. “Ajax” Johnson - Elephant

Ajax is smart and powerful, I want to say he’s very determined.

In the short time we knew him, he was very stubborn as well. He didn’t give up anything and held out for a while. Though he was a lower rank than the other characters.

In his last moments, he made sure the last Ghosts knew what was happening in a last ditch effort to keep them safe and aware.

It’s hard to pin down super specific traits due to the fact that elephants can exhibit many and there’s not much we can give to Ajax.

I want to say that Ajax was more laid-back with his friends and comrades, leaving his bold energy for those who don’t deserve his respect ( insert the iconic scene where Ajax puts up his middle finger right at the Federation soldier ).

Like all the animals and characters on this list, Ajax was dangerous when necessary. He wasn’t spending every moment trying to be scary or intimidating or anything. He’s confident in himself and his abilities and he doesn’t need anyone else to speak up for him.

The respect we hear given to him by the Ghosts after his death was well deserved.

Love you, Ajax <3

Kick - Monitor Lizard

Some kind of reptile (I was so tempted to put him as a Gila Monster but I can’t do that to my best boi).

I’d say probably a water monitor.

These lizards, which can grow to 9 feet btw, don’t surprise their prey, but “actively pursue” them.

While these creatures have venom, but it’s not necessarily fatal.

Kick is definitely dangerous when he’s needed but it’s not like a “I am the grim reaper.” type of thing, it’s more like “I have a job to do and you won’t be in my way.”.

These creatures are known for being intelligent which lines up with Kick’s likely (not confirmed?) role as an information specialist.

The main thing that doesn’t quite line up is the fact that water monitors can be friendly whereas Kick is, if not more stand-offish, then solitary. I do imagine that he eventually opens up, but he’s definitely more comfy with his computers.

Neptune - Owl

I imagine that Neptune, being one of the original Ghosts, is very wise, though more subtle. I can’t think of what kind of owl he’d be, maybe snowy.

I mostly just wanted to include him here. Feel free to add onto him.

Riley… Riley

The most dangerous creature ever, himself.

World’s Best Throat-Snatcher over here being a cutie patootie with blood on his maw. 10/10 best boi.

Trials & Tribulations, WIP

Finding little bits and pieces I can start writing and idk when I'll be done with it since I got A Lot Happening but this character started talking randomly today and who am I to ignore him? From "Trials & Tribulations," Everett Shepard's pre-ME1 story

Finding time for yourself was virtually impossible on a ship that crewed nearly 300 people. Despite a plethora of decks, messes, lounges, and quarters divided up amongst the different command chains, there was always someone somewhereeven when they probably weren’t supposed to be.

Exhibit A: fighter pilot Jordan Keens, sneaking into the officers’ mess after hours.

Exhibit B: unknown white boy in an oversized hoodie already in the mess hall, eating what appeared to be some honest to god chocolate chip cookies while he read a data pad.

And not the shitty air sealed ones Dario ordered last time.

Jordan narrowed his eyes at the same time his stomach gave an audible rumble. Either it was louder than he thought or the guy had amazing hearing, because his head jerked up a split-second later.

“Uh.” 

Gray eyes seemed to pin him to the spot, an intensity in that gaze that made Jordan hyper aware of himself in a way that bordered on uncomfortable. It eased as the scrutiny did, however, and he exhaled slowly. 

“Sorry,” he went on, flashing the stranger a lopsided grin. “Usually no one’s here, uh. I’m um. I’m Jordan Keens — Flight-Second Jordan Keens, with Torrent Squadron.”

He inwardly cursed at how jumbled his words were getting, but it was kind of the other guy’s fault for not wearing any uniform with clear rank markings. Jordan may have shown up in his varren slippers, but the rest of his uniform was technically appropriate. 

“Lieutenant Commander Everett Shepard,” the stranger replied. The words didn’t come easily from his lips, almost as if he wanted to hold them back. Jordan didn’t think much of it, too busy flashing a hasty salute the moment he heard “commander,” brain trying to remember why the rest of it sounded familiar, too. He wasn’t part of the regular Tokyocrew; maybe he was the newcomer Merrick had mentioned earlier?

“Ah, shit, sorry — erm, I mean, sir. Sorry, sir. Ah, fuck.”

Jordan was now keenly aware of his slippers, especially as the Commander finally glanced down and took note of them. 

A small smile tugged at the man’s lips, his guard slipping ever so slightly before he smoothed his expression back to neutral.

“At ease,” he murmured. “Wasn’t expecting anyone, either, if I’m honest.” His gaze flicked down to the plate of cookies before him before glancing back at Jordan, and Jordan could sense his hesitation even as he added, "did you… would you like some?"

"Cookies?"

"They're fresh-baked."

Sold. 

"Don't mind if I do!" Jordan knew he needed an actual snack, but a lifelong sweet-tooth skewed his priorities at the best of times and he'd been standing there long enough to pick up on the faint scent in the air that all but confirmed the guy was telling the truth -- these were fresh, still warm to the touch as he scooped one up, chocolate going deliciously gooey in his mouth at that first bite. 

"Oh mah gahd…" A hand over his mouth saved some of his dignity, though he caught the return of the small smile on the Commander's lips when he opened his eyes again. He swallowed, flashing him a wide grin of his own. "These are so good -- er. Sir."

"Thank you."

Jordan blinked, taking a moment to piece it together. A glance around the mess confirmed that they were alone, and if these were fresh, and the Commander seemed pleased that he liked them…

"…wait. You made these?"

A faint flush rose in Shepard's cheeks. "I did."

"Holy crap like -- holy crap!" He looked towards the kitchenette, spotting honest to god sugar, mixing bowls… "You made these from scratch!"

"Um. Was that a question or a statement?"

"On a ship! Who bakes on a ship?"

"Not every meal is from a box…"

"Well okay, sure, we get some good stuff every now and then as a treat but like! Not actual treats! Hey, what division are you with? I don't think I know you."

It occurred to Jordan as his mouth went off a mile a minute that he was being pretty forward, if not blatantly familiar, with a superior officer. But Shepard didn't seem to mind, another twitch of that smile tugging at the corners of his lips, and that steely gaze he'd greeted him with had eased into something almost…

Kind. Maybe even a little shy. 

"Marine detail," he replied.

"Ah, damn." 

An eyebrow cocked, and Jordan hurried to explain, "Was kinda hopin' you were with the flight crew."

"Oh." A pause. "Why?"

"Because if there's gonna be some crazy talented baker just hanging out on the ship, I want dibs on that friendship, y'know?"

Jordan's smile was back, and he waggled his eyebrows for good measure to assure the other man that he was joking -- mostly. 

"We can't be friends if we're not in the same division?" Both eyebrows were raised now.

"Welllll sure, but Marines, y'know?" Jordan wrinkled his nose for added effect.

"Traditionally assholes, sure," Shepard replied without missing a beat. He met Jordan's eye and this time the smile did more than twitch, and the next thing he knew they were laughing. Shepard gave the plate a nudge towards the center of the table, an open invitation for Jordan to take as many as he liked. The young pilot wasted no time helping himself to another. 

"But all jokes aside, these are so good -- Shepard, was it?" The Commander nodded. "And I'm not just sayin' that 'cause I usually eat that cardboard crap the mess sergeant gets us from time to time. My grandma's the best baker I've ever known, so trust me when I say I know what I'm talking about."

"Can't argue against grandma's baking," Shepard agreed easily enough. He snagged a cookie for himself, Jordan only belatedly realizing he'd already worked through three while Shepard had just finished his first, and he watched as the Commander's fingers delicately broke that one in half. 

He has really nice hands, he thought, unbidden, and shook his head. He rested his elbows on the table, cradling his chin in his hands as he observed the other man a moment. He didn't seem much older than Jordan himself -- somewhere in his early to mid-twenties, maybe? Pale-skinned, hints of freckles along a strong nose, with dark, reddish-brown hair that seemed to want to curl at the ends but couldn't thanks to how short it was cut. He looked familiar, but Jordan couldn't quite place him.

"So you new to the Tokyo?"

"I am."

"Hmm…" 

Shepard's eyes met his briefly before looking down again as he carefully took another bite of his cookie. He shifted a little in his seat and Jordan shook himself again. 

"Sorry, I'm staring, aren't I? I just feel like… Maybe I've seen you somewhere before?"

"…possibly."

The atmosphere seemed to change then, a subtle shift from something approaching friendly banter to something more…reserved. Closed off. Shepard's lips were flattened into a thin line, and there was a tension creeping over him as Jordan watched. 

Okay, stumbled on a bad tack. Jordan was just opening his mouth to redirect the conversation back to more comfortable waters when Shepard got to his feet. 

Fuck, he's tall. Probably a good head taller than Jordan was, at least.

"You, um. You can have the rest of these." 

"I --"

"Good night, Flight-Second."

"…good night…" Jordan blinked after him, bemused, until Shepard had slipped out of the door opposite and out of sight. 

It was only then that Jordan remembered he should've saluted, but then...  Shepard hadn't seemed to expect him to.

What an odd duck.

He looked down at the plate of cookies and shrugged, helping himself to another before going to search for a bag to keep them in.

Dr. James Edward Shepard (November 3, 1875 – October 6, 1947) founded North Carolina College for Negroes in 1910. He was born and raised in Raleigh along with eleven other siblings. His father was Reverend Augustus Shepard and his mother was Harriet E. Shepard. Shepard received his education through the North Carolina public school system. He worked as a pharmacist for a short time after graduating from Shaw University after receiving his Ph.G. He married Annie Robison (1895) and the couple had two children.

In 1898 he along with John Merrick established North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company in Durham. He founded Farmers and Mechanics Bank in Durham.

A lifelong Republican, he worked as a Federal appointee of President William McKinley in the Recorder of Deeds office in DC. He was an advisor to President Theodore Roosevelt and supported President Herbert Hoover’s controversial SCOTUS nominee, Judge John J. Parker of Charlotte. He corresponded with former New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey.

He was one of the wealthiest and most successful African American businessmen in the US. He believed in education and lamented the small number of colleges for African Americans in his state. When he received a section of land on the edge of Durham, he created the National Religious Training School.

In 1923 the State of North Carolina assumed control of the institution and two years later renamed it the North Carolina College for Negroes. NCCN focused on teacher education. NCCN was the first predominantly African American college in the US to receive state support for liberal arts education. By 1940 the college had a law school and offered graduate degrees in the arts and sciences.

North Carolina College for Negroes evolved into North Carolina College and in 1969 it became North Carolina Central University.

He remained President of the institution until his death. He was involved in other organizations including the North Carolina Teachers Association and he served as a trustee of the all-Black Lincoln Hospital in Durham. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #kappaalphapsi

!!! : write a headcanon about our muses

               Upon meeting Ophelia, Merrick would be all too surprised to know someone actually… had a child with Odin. Although they had somehow managed to become friends years ago as Shepards, under their real names, Merrick couldn’t even grasp how that man had ended up the way he did now. Granted, he wasn’t that different just… It seemed like he’d been given the opportunity to become more eccentric than before. And now, he had a daughter to join him in his eccentrics. Just what the world needed; two Owain’s. None the less, Merrick would have tried to get to know her, even taught her a few forbidden spells given her interest in dark magic. As always he’d probably have kept some of his distance as Merrick does with most people, but he would gladly offer himself as a tutor whenever she needed or wanted.

Dr. James Edward Shepard founded North Carolina College for Blacks in Durham, North Carolina. He used a section of land on the edge of Durham, to establish the National Religious Training School. The school served as an institution “for the colored race” and initially held classes for ministers and teachers. Five years after it opened Shepard sold the institution to Mrs. Russell Sage, a New York philanthropist. She in turn provided support to keep it functioning for the next decade. In 1898 Shepard along with John Merrick established North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company in Durham. Eventually Shepard founded Farmers and Mechanics Bank in Durham as well. By 1910 Shepard was one of the wealthiest and most successful African American businessmen in the United States. He believed deeply in education and lamented the relatively small number of colleges for African Americans in his state. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFlDDvv8TK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Notes 1-This was put together on April 15th using information from http://killedbypolice.net. This is a good source because it only takes names from confirmed news sources. 1.1-About half of reported civilian deaths by police officers do not include the race. There are most definitely more that we do not know of. 2-Police are not required to report the people they kill, so we know that there has to be more than this that is not reported. Currently the best government data we have on police killings is from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting but these killings are self-reported by law enforcement and participation in the database is voluntary – only about 750 agencies contribute to it, a fraction of the 17,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. 3-This passes no judgment on guilt or innocence, just a full list. I am sure some of these names are actual criminals, but the world will never know other than taking the police’s word. Police are not the judge, jury and executioners and these people should be alive to face their crimes or prove their innocence in a court of law. (We have also learned from Walter Scott that police lie on the reports and plant evidence) 3.1-IF they were criminals, does not excuse the police from violating these people’s Fifth Amendment Rights. They were deprived of life without due process of law. Many of these people are shot in the back (which is against the law according to Tennessee v. Garner of 1985) or unarmed (see below). The major problem is we have violent White criminals like Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh, James Eagan Holmes, Jared Lee Loughner, Dylann Storm Roof, Robert Dear, Jason Dalton and other who are all terrorists who collectively killed hundreds of people and were apprehended without being shot. Meanwhile, black people are being shot for non-violent crimes like jaywalking, having a busted taillight and so on. 3.2-Police should be able to deescalate a situation and use non-lethal force. They carry stun guns, billy clubs, etc. and wear bullet proof vests. If they are too afraid or too trigger happy, they should not be on the force. 4-This does not include police brutality cases like Floyd Dent, Martese Johnson or so many more. 5-This not include people like Travon Martin or Jordan Davis, who were killed by “stand your ground” laws by civilians. 6-This also does not include people like Lennon Lacy and Otis Byrd in what looks like lynchings 7-yeah, yeah … not all cops. I am sure they have a hard job, but it does not excuse this list or especially how long it is. There were 127 total police deaths in 2014, including unrelated car accidents, heart attacks and even one 9/11 related illness. It is MUCH more dangerous to be black than a police officer. 8-Yes, there were plenty of white people killed by police. “All lives matter”, BUT black people are 3-4x more likely to be killed by police than whites. In 2014, 47% of black people killed were unarmed when only 16% of white people killed were unarmed. There are deep racial disparities that come from a system of oppression.However, this list is important. Sure Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Freddy Gray get the headlines, but every name needs to be remembered.

:/ mum was like oh wanna help me make shepard’s pie for dinner? and i thought Oh sweet i love shepard’s pie i can actually eat with the family tonight! so i make the potatoes and i turn around and the filling she put together is completely different than any previous shepard’s pie she’s done, filled with shit i don’t like. and i was disappointed like Oh :/ and she was like “don’t worry itll cook down more. and if it’s really bad we’ll just have to suffer through it” actually if it’s really bad i’m gonna have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich alone in my room. thx. it’s really frustrating i’ve explained this to her so many times..

it’s not the fact that she made it differently, irs the fact that she’s never been listening ever time i say i CANT “suffer through it”. please try to understand a perspective other than your own!! thank you! i used to be able to eat anything an i was super healthy, i know HOW to “suffer through” food if i know it’s good for me. but i literally fucking can’t. i CAN physically eat it. but it’s not worth the energy. 1) eating food i don’t like takes so much longer 2) when i try to eat food i don’t like my gag reflex is constantly being triggered/i’m fighting to not gag 3) the whole ordeal is so unpleasant that i dread every meal and get anxiety trying to figure out what will simultaneously meet my nutritional needs but also is palatable enough to keep down. so that’s prolly why i’ve been having veggie burgers every day for the past 5 ish days. like i’m SO FUCKING SORRY it’s not a vegetable but it’s so fucking hard that id rather not eat at all than try to eat out of my comfort zone right now. and as a result i’ve lost five pounds that i didn’t need to lose. it’s been like this since withdrawal and i’m losing my mind i’m counting on the idea that when it’s just me and merrick it’ll be easier and it will in a LOT of ways but i’m afraid i’ve developed shitty habits that are gonna be hard to break. and today my emotions have been so intense so this just feels way worse than it is. i hate this. i’m literally way too sensitive of a person if i can’t handle this kind of shit . and it’s not my fault. but still most people hate overly sensitive people bc we’re too much hassle and everything we get upset about is trivial but like if i had a choice i would LOVE to feel things normally

A Week at Farm Sanctuary: Pasture Time With Friends!

In reflecting on this past week, it would be a disservice if we didn’t also mention the big event that it has been leading up to: Farm Sanctuary’s annual Hoe Down, taking place this weekend at our New York Shelter! (Be sure to tune in on Facebook for live video and more from this beloved Farm Sanctuary tradition!)

While their “humanimal” friends have been getting ready to “party ‘til the cows come home,” it’s been business as usual for our rescued residents — in other words, plenty of time to live life to the fullest, each in their own unique way! 

Visiting With the Sheep and Goats

One of our favorite places to reflect and simply savor the present moment is our New York sheep barn and pasture. 

Sarah’s ready for her close up! This girl was very shy upon arriving at Farm Sanctuary last year, but since then, she has blossomed into one of the most outgoing “sheeple” in the barn!

William is also a big fan of the “humanimal,” often pawing at his friends for attention until they comply. 

William lovingly nuzzles photo intern Christa.

Welcome back, Bob and Nate! We met these sweet boys last year as lambs, as they convalesced at our New York Shelter. After spending some time in New Jersey with our friends from The Daily Squeal, they’re now back in New York and fitting in well with their new friends! 

Francis was a “child star” (as a youngster, he played the role of a lamb in the Sam Shepard play “Curse of the Starving Class”), and this outgoing and photogenic boy is still often in the spotlight!

Julie (front) and son Erin graze together on pasture. At just 3 months of age, Erin is already nearly as big as his mom! 

Erin stops to smell the “roses.” 

Hello, Amy! Before coming to Farm Sanctuary, this shy but sweet girl was exploited for profit — bred to produce lamb after lamb for slaughter, yet never able to nurture the babies she longed to love. Safe at Farm Sanctuary with her son Cliff, she is still slow to warm up to humans but is a loyal friend to those she loves. We’re so happy that here, she is free to live life on her own terms!

Adel enjoys a peaceful moment on pasture.

Jack digs in to a delicious meal!

Lloyd marches out to pasture.

As you can see, Sarah’s diving headfirst into Farm Sanctuary life!

Sarah’s twin sister Clare is more reserved and remains wary of humans, but will occasionally inch closer to join the fun. 

Fun-loving Dana goat shows her silly side!

Marlene enjoys a zen moment on pasture.

Joanne enjoys a quiet moment of relaxation.

Anne takes a break from grazing with her friends to say hello!

Let’s Get a Bird’s Eye View!

From our largest residents to our smallest, each farm animal has a place at Farm Sanctuary — mammals and birds alike! 

Monet and Matisse ducks, rescued from a foie gras farm, are inseparable friends who love exploring together.

Mr. Sanchez proudly oversees his flock, ensuring that his ladies are safe and happy. 

Let’s talk turkey! At Farm Sanctuary, we celebrate farm animals like Omar as the unique individuals they are. (In fact, we’re already gearing up for our Celebration for the Turkeys events coming up in November in Watkins Glen, NY, and Acton, CA!)

Checking In With Our Pig Friends

Next, we turn to our porcine pals, who inspire us to “dig in” to the beautiful lives all beings deserve!

Socks dives headfirst into Farm Sanctuary life!

How sweet it is! Roxy enjoys a day in the pasture.

Ogar shows us his sweetest expression. 

Marge shows off her toothy grin.

Farm Sanctuary is a safe haven for all, from our rescued residents to the humans who love them — and our wild neighbors, of course!

Farm Sanctuary could not do the work we do without love and support from compassionate friends like you! Together, we can help all beings experience the beautiful lives they deserve.

For more Farm Sanctuary updates, be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. You can also tune in live on Explore.org to see what some of our rescued cattle, pig, sheep, goat, turkey, chicken, and alpaca residents are up to in real time! Want to meet our incredible rescued residents in person? Learn how to visit here. Want to help? Your support makes our rescue, education, and advocacy efforts possible. You can also help by sharing our residents’ stories to spread the word that farm animals like them are each someone, not something. A compassionate world begins with you!

Special thanks to photo intern Christa for some of the beautiful photos you see today! Learn more about our internship program here.

5 a/u of u & nyx

First off, thank you for the ask. It’s always greatly appreciated. Also, thank you for sending me something I know I will be able to have fun with. I can’t guarantee that I’ll come up with all 5. Possibly 3. But who knows. I do know I get long winded in writing out headcanons so I’m going to throw all of this under a cut and hope this doesn’t agitate my whole 8 followers ;) 

1 - The very first one is probably the easiest I could write about seeing that I am obviously a die hard Final Fantasy VII fan over FXV. So with that said, this would be in that alternate universe. The timeline would be roughly around the time Cloud & Co are starting to group up which means it’d be during the first disc, if not 2nd disc of the Original squaresoft game. If you have no clue what i’m talking about then Idk what to tell you. I’m old, alright? I remember that 4 disc set like it was yesterday.....anyways. Thia (me), would be related to the family that runs the chocobo ranch out in the grasslands. Her skills as a breeder would most likely be unsurpassed cementing her name among some of the more elite chocobo traders/racers. Nyx, however I feel would possibly be SOLDIER before it all turns to shit. I think he, like Vincent, would eventually have enough and go rouge. It’s just how I presume he’d be. The two would cross paths most likely at The Golden Saucer by the racetrack, or possibly the game room. Either way, it’d be near-instant friendship, but most certainly a slow burn romance that follows

2 - Fallout A/U would be a second favorite of mine seeing that I’m a sucker for that series as well. The storyline would revolve not around Thia, but around Nyx naturally. I have a feeling Thia wouldn’t be as important as she is in VII’s verse simply because I’ve never really thought to place my self-made insert o/c into it as anything heroic. But we all know Nyx is the posterboy for that job already. I know this is weak but i’m trying to wrap up this ask. So next!

3 - Mass Effect {1-3} Granted, we all know the story by now. Shepard saves the day but barely. It leaves Earth severely wounded and out favorite dream team of heroes that made it possible, stranded on some remote planet. This is why I would never want to place Thia (although she IS my Shepard) in the man protagonist role. Instead, possibly something a little less complicated. So she can be in the engine room bugging poor Garrus every now and then and teasing him about collaborations not getting done in a timely fashion. Nyx...what would Nyx be? Welp? Probably stuck in the same prison as Jack. So when Shep goes to break her out, Nyx comes along for the ride for a while. Don’t ask me where it goes from there because I don’t even know honestly. It’d be fun to try and think on it later however. 

4 - Resident Evil  A/U HAHAHAHAHA no -.- I have a fucking phobia of zombies. I’d fucking be an emo ball of tears curled up in a fetal position until either Nyx or Leon comes in and assures me it’ll all be alright. Even then, no. That’s probably the WORST possible game to self-insert myself into (other than Silent Hill since both are creepy af) 

5 - The Sims 3 Bridgeport: Yup, it’s quirky. It’s fun. We’d both be guilty of using motherlode and evading taxes all while raising cowplants, pissing off the celebrities & getting gnawed on by Beau Merrick or some other vampire that catches us hanging out in the shadows by The Grind. Either way, it’d be fun. It IS fun. I love Bridgeport. And I love The Sims 3. So that fits.

300-500 word statement on the lectures & gallery visits

The gallery visits have gave me mixed views and inspiration for my work. The best gallery visit that really left me in awe, was that of Keith Haring’s exhibition in the Tate Liverpool. The decade, gay liberation, drugs, rebellion, music etc. all of those subject matters shown through colourful, bright, animated pieces of work, that left me feeling so emotionally attached to the stories of Haring’s life and why he made the work he did. I was annoyed at myself for not looking into this artist before. I feel his work will now always inspire me to have that fearlessness on what I want to create, and also the use of materials, I can use anything. 

I found The Bluecoat gallery visit the least interesting to me, the exhibition that was curated to us, didn’t excite me. The artists work was that of Alexis Templin,  I found it visually pleasing, the colour palette, varied materials, and the use of not only 2D but 3D and performance art. But it’s the concept of her work I still don’t seem to understand, I gathered it was something to do stereotypes with domesticated lives, and society?. 

I found a handful of lectures influential to me, the ones that left the biggest impact on me are that of ‘Matthew Merrick and Tricia McKinnon- Day’. Merrick’s lecture interested me the most, as I found his attitude towards working in unconventional settings,is refreshing. I really took to the idea of him not having a secure studio space, he uses train journeys as his work time, he also uses most places as his studio, and I find that cool, as I’ve been more drawn to working where I feel most comfortable in that present time. It also does have an effect on your work, and the outcome of your work. With Tricia’s lecture, I was so inspired by her work of the female Shepards. As it felt close to home, and an insight of what I am so used to seeing on a daily basis but really not taking the agricultural life and work into consideration. I attended a Mckinnon - Day’s seminar after the lecture, and what she told us about her being so inspired and interested in people, in everyday working class people was what her mainly consisted of. The almost journalistic take on her work is what drew me in more than anything. As this semester I have struggled to find a meaning in my work, and I have seen that meaning arrives to me subconsciously and naturally, so for me to see Tricia’s work drives me to not be reluctant when it comes to communicate what I want. I find that documentation way of working really interesting and I am taking it into consideration for future projects.
