#THANK U SM MARION

[pathcrier]

But what if you answered all the questions from that Shepard ask game 👉👈

Marion.....your mind.... astounding

Sol System - What is your Shepard’s class, background, military history?

Dahlia is an Adept, Spacer, and War Hero!!!

Earth - Where was your Shepard born?

She was born in Melbourne, Australia, when her mom was on shoreleave. Its where her mom was born and raised! But shortly after, they were back on warships and bound for space! Dahlia doesn't remember anything about Earth, honestly feels no true ties to Earth. She'll always be a spacer through and through.

Milky Way - What is your Shepard’s full name? Do they have a nickname?

Her full name is Dahlia Eliana Shepard. Her closest friends call her Dee, and her mom and half sisters have called her Didi 

Constellation - Does your Shepard have a family? Are they alive?

Her mom is alive and kicking, still in command of the SSV Kilimanjaro! Her two half sisters are alive as well! Though Blake had ran off to Andromeda before the Reapers hit. But Logan is still in the fray, fighting under her half sister, the illustratious Commander Shepard. Her father, well, he was a dead beat who tried claiming credit for all of Dahlia's accomplishments, and Hannah refused to have him around after he abandoned them. Last she knew, he was on Horizon after being forced to retire after an injury, and later found out he was abducted and killed by collectors. To which she feels no remorse over.

Nebula - Who is your Shepard’s best friend?

Wrex, Kaidan, and James are her best friends! She's actually known Kaidan since Alliance training days! Aside from them, her two half sisters, Blake and Logan know her even better than Wrex, Kaidan, and James.

Stars - Who is your Shepard’s LI?

Dahlia is, and will always be head over heels for Liara uwu

Moon - Did your Shepard have any dreams as a child? (dream job, plans for future etc)

Funny enough, Dahlia is actually living her dream. She used to go around telling everyone - when she was a little kid when- that one day she's going to command her own warship and be unstoppable

Sun -  Was there a person in your Shepard’s life that changed their view on life/the world?

Aside from her mother, of course. Who she got her love of space travel from. David Anderson is the one who taught her so, so much on life, and helped her shape her views on everything. He's the one who taught her that just because you lose one battle, doesn't mean it's the time to give up, to always keep fighting forward. Along with him, Javik is an obvious one. Teaching her that so long as there's even a single human left, the fight's not over.

Dark nebula - Is there something they’d change about their past?

Weirdly, no. She has absolutely no regrets. Every choice she made, every hard decision she had to take, she doesn't regret a single thing. 

Dwarf star - When was your Shepard’s first kiss?

She was maybe 15, it was one of the times she was on the Citadel while her mom was on shore leave. She had gotten very close to a young turian girl, Livia. Though it was done as a dare on Livia's part, neither regret it, and they're actually still friends to this day!

Dark energy - Are they a biotic? If yes, how old were they when their powers started to show?

Yes, she's got pretty potent powers, even before Miranda rebuilt her. They actually manifested when she was about 11 when she was trying to stick up for a salarian kid. She actually sent this krogan kid flying into the side of the wall, leaving a ridiculously large dent. Eventually she received informal training from an asari commando, who was her mother's best friend!

Ion - Does your Shepard have any tech skills? (engineering, hacking etc)

Dahlia is actually fairly decent at hacking, though she learned it from her friend Connor, it's not really her cup of tea

Meteor -  Does your Shepard have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

Quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits? No, not really. Her most defining characteristic though is her temper and recklessness in a fight, which earned her the reputation of being a krogan stuck in a 5'0 humans body.

Stardust -  What kind of clothes do they usually wear off-duty? (sporty, elegant or specific clothes like sweatpants, jeans etc)  

Dahlia fuckin' lives for athletic wear. It's a rare occasion to see her not walking around in a sports bra and leggings / or sweats.

Comet - What is your Shepard’s sexuality?

Big ole lesbian.💖

Supernova - When did your Shepard decide to join the Alliance? Was there a breaking point in their life that made them want to become a soldier?

Her mom was her hero, as she had Dahlia when she was 18. She grew up around the Alliance all her life and found them to be so cool and wanted to be just like her mom. Seeing her mom in action a few times definitely was the catalyst for Dahlia wanting to enlist when she was old enough. 

Black hole -  What is your Shepard’s greatest fear?

Failure. Especially now that she commands her own ship, has her own crew, is an N7 and Spectre. She has a lot riding on her shoulders and a lot of people depending on her.

Star cluster -  Does your Shepard have any mental illnesses and if yes, do they visit a therapist or talk to someone about it?

Honestly, if she does, they're all left unaddressed and left to fester. She admits she needs help and will probably have severe PTSD after the war, but she can't let it bog her down and chooses to focus on fighting reapers than her own inner demons.

Galaxy -  Under what circumstances do they find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

That's a pretty grey area for her, honestly. Having let thousands of batarians die when she destroyed the Alpha Relay. If their deaths won't be in vain, can be used to their advantage, anything to turn the tides or give them more time, she'll take it.

thank you for the tag @canthearyouoverthesoundofcanon! oh how i wish i weren't broke so that i could commission someone to write a bass fic for us and make people see the light 😔

rules: answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to get to know better/catch up with.

three ships: just three??????? i ship like my life depends on it so pinning down just three is hard! well the ones that come to mind atm are ginhiji (i've been binge reading ginhiji fics on pixiv for the past couple of weeks i love them sm) (also crying since gintama is over now. i never thought i'd have to see the day T_T), lukear (or is it luketear? well either way i've been shipping these two since fucking fourth grade kay MR. ENDGAME IS LUKE I HAVE PROOF- *gets shot before she can bring out her fifty slide powerpoint presentation*), and gojohime bc my brother is obsessed with jjk atm and he managed to drag me down to gojohime hell with him rip (plus their dynamic is so similar to ginhiji (EVEN THEIR APPEARANCE) it was bound to happen tbh)

last song: hmmm it was either the top by ken blast or back on the rocks by mega nrg man (can u tell i miss initial d)

last movie: the girl who leapt through time

currently watching: mononoke (kusuriuri my beloved) and mobile police patlabor

currently reading: mercantile law by m. c. kuchhal the mists of avalon by marion zimmer bradley

currently craving: SOUP (specifically thai)

i'm pretty sure everyone i want to tag has been tagged already orz so i curse the person who's reading this to do it! (or not lol)

fic asks: 14 and 20?

14. At what point in writing do you come up with a title?

at the end of the first chapter. titles and summaries are pretty much the last thing I do before posting a new fic. and i often struggle with both tbh.

i think the only exception to this rule is valhalla? i came up with the title for that fic before even outlining it, lol.

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

oh gosh. there was so much that i included in pretty much every single chapter of little talks, but it’s been two years (can u believe? i can’t) since writing and posting that fic and i’ve forgotten so much. i usually hinted at specific themes/motifs/symbols in responses to people’s comments though, if anyone actually wants to go back and look through that (i highly doubt it, but you never know).

really proud of betty’s character development in that fic though, especially in relation to her friendships. her and polly’s relationship and that scene at Polly’s track meet still pops up in my mind from time to time. it’s a small one, but i’m proud of it.

marion(ette) has so many fucking symbols. that entire fic is symbols. i don’t remember if anyone ever really caught on to what betty’s reasoning was for some of her gifts, so i’ll re-state the title, as an added hint: Marion(ette).

valhalla is an amalgamation of so much symbolism that i can’t even keep track anymore, but here are a few symbols that guided my outlining/plotting process (and may already be evident in the two chapters i posted? i can’t remember at this point): fire, writing and speaking as drivers of fate, history as circular, Ouroboros, trees, and the dragon Fafnir.

pride and publishing is fairly lacking in the symbols department, but it’s got many references to the movies/book and so many hints for future scenes. i’m most excited about a hint from chapter one that is going to become a main plot line in the last two chapters, and it’s interesting because i don’t think anyone really caught it (other than mel, when beta’ing almost a year ago)? i’ll emphasize it here: @three-of-kings.

(chapter 3 of p&p also mentions Archie buying a raptor off the set of Jurassic Park that’s both a reference to KJ’s shenanigans and @hellodinoflower, whom I promised I would low key s/o in that update. I don’t think anyone ever noticed but oh well.)

(also also P&P is my Ethel & Betty, Cheryl & Jughead friendship rights fic, disguised as a modern day Austen AU.)

sorry this got so long (and i feel like i barely answered the questions? how did this happen), but thank you sm for sending this ask in! much love <3
