Thinking about Mass Effect, as you do, and how I'm kind of sad that the way it's been engraved in pop culture has more to do with the way internet reacted to it at the time than what the actual game is about. Yes sure, it's about romance (and not that much all things considered) and it's pulpy (but not solely because of hot lady aliens), but it's also intricate worldbuilding that touches on a lot of sharp ideas, and a complicated tug-of-war between a genuine and vulnerable belief in reconciliation and community VS post 9-11 US military propaganda and steadfast belief in heroic exceptionalism, and the melancholic yet energizing mood, and the daring narrative systems, and so so much more than the 'We'll Bang OKs" and the "There's No Shepard Without Vakarian" and the whole ME3 ending situation
It's all there, but I'm sad the impact of the series is often reduced to (what I think is) the least interesting parts of its sum
#mass effect#mass effect meta#and what I'm the MOST sad about#is how bioware internalized a lot of that I think#I think Mass Effect 3 and especially the Citadel DLC suffered from trying to pull itself in the shape of what the fandom expected#it's why I'm so ambivalent about Mordin's seashell bit --which I do find kinda cheap in its attempt at being an obvious crowdpleaser#and it's why a lot of the Citadel DLC jokes don't land as well as they could have for me#AND why I didn't react that well to Andromeda either#which to me forgot a lot of its strong worldbuilding foundations and sincerity#and ended up feeling so very... “liberal” to me --if you can forgive my semi-judgmental wording#as in: gestures at inclusion and would do pronoun rounds probably but will never lift a finger to criticize actual systems of power#it's “nicer” and people are more fun but the colonialist project is never sincerely questioned by the narrative#elon musk-like “genuises” are given a god-like aura#species become mostly tired and watered-down versions of their archetypes...#I don't know. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree but yeah I was thinking about this today

I love how painful the Jaal romance is at the beginning, and not in an angsty way, in a "this is a slow burn friends-to-lovers and while you're trying to figure out if you're at the friends stage yet you have to listen to him flirt with every woman on the Tempest and also he talks with Vetra about his attraction to Peebee" way. Ryders who develop a crush early SUFFER

Screw this by the end of Ramadan once I get my full energy back I’ll write a Perseus and Andromeda retelling and make all the Perseus haters stfu once and for all.
#read the review for shadow of Perseus to see what bs happens in this book and both positive and negative reviews piss me off#the treatment of andromeda low key feels racist#she’s one of the few women in Greek mythology that willingly married a man and loved him#I know Euripides andromeda fragments are hard to find but pls read them#I posted them a while ago#their romance was genuinely compelling so why change it to assault#why make Andromeda suffer more bc “feminism”#greek mythology#ancient greek mythology#greek pantheon#andromeda#princess andromeda#Perseus#shadow of perseus#perseus and andromeda#perseus and medusa#Medusa#medusa retelling

💥 for the ask game 😄
Thanks for the ask @charmsandtealeaves!
💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!
Okay, yes, there is a fic I am working on which I have posted A LOT about already. It's a Tedromeda/Remadora AU. I have gone through a gazillion titles but I just told one of my (AMAZING, TRULY INSPIRATIONAL) betas @merlinsbudgiesmugglers that I am changing the title to SUPERNOVA, like a dying star supernova.
Anyway here's a fun little snippet that no one's seen yet:
“You made your choice very clear to me in 1959. You chose him and you chose them.”
“No, I didn’t!”
“You didn’t?” Ted demanded angrily. “You didn’t leave me brokenhearted in the rain? You didn’t leave me to find out in the bloody Prophet that you had married another man?”
“I didn’t want to—”
“Oh, don’t give me that bullshit. You chose wealth and privilege. You said it yourself—you never loved me—"
“That’s not true—”
“You think that marrying another man is love?” Ted’s voice was rough and gravelly. “You think that telling me it’s over after we had sex is love? You think that lying to me for over a decade, hiding my daughter from me, and then kissing me, knowing perfectly well I am a faithful man, is love?”
“It was to protect you—”
“No,” Ted said, shaking his head. “I was ready to go anywhere in the world with you to take you away. I would have given anything—anything—for you.”
“Ted,” Andromeda’s voice broke. “I’m sorry. You have to understand, I did what I had to—”
“I have to understand? I have to understand that you had to destroy me?”

So I’m already writing a fic where Sirius comes back from the Veil and Harry is raising Teddy..............
.............but now I want fic where Sirius comes back from the Veil and raises Teddy himself. 👀
#teddy would be much much younger#and andromeda would be too grief-stricken and harry too young#so it falls on sirius#and he has to grieve his boyfriend AND take care of his dead boyfriend's kid#i just want sirius to suffer so much

The beauty stored in you
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Pairing: Cygnus Hyōga/Andromeda Shun
Chapters: 1/?
Summary: To meet someone as delicate as the flowers they tender to, and at the same time as strong as their roots.
To meet someone as precious as the gemstones they sell and produce, and at the same time as easy to see through as a polished diamond.
Neither Hyōga nor Shun expected that a bond so deep could be found through such a gloom path. Maybe it was meant to be, maybe everything aligned itself to make it happen. No matter, it should bloom like flowers and shine like jewels, and hopefully it wouldn’t rot and fade away or crack and break apart. After all, even a jeweler can appreciate the beauty of petals and green, soft hair, and even a florist can marvel at a well-cut precious stone.

i need to rant about a quest in mass effect andromeda
so in the quest “the little things that matter”, you agree to help Addison track down an Initiative doctor who went missing. you find the doctor, Zoe Kennedy, and she’s eight months pregnant. and apparently the reason she left was because Addision wouldn’t let the Initiative people start having babies
you know. the same Initiative that could barely support the people it was already responsible for. they had no stability, no steady food supply, they were in danger from the kett and the scourge, and then there was a rebellion so they lost even more people and assets in the fallout of that.
i think it’s pretty goddamn reasonable to say, “hey, maybe we shouldn’t bring more people into this galaxy until we can be sure they’ll be safe and provided for”. and i hate agreeing with Addison, but there we go.
but dr. “smartest person Addison knows” kennedy decides that isn’t fair, runs away, gets pregnant, and starts stealing supplies from the outposts that YOU establish to stay on the run.
and then you have to save her ass from kett and roekaar and there’s no option to tell her off for being a shortsighted, selfish fucking idiot. she just had a widdle baby so she gets off scot free.
fuck her.
#rant#venting#mass effect andromeda critical#it's really hard to be an asshole in andromeda#like you can be a dumbass and a little shit but you can't really be MEAN#there have been a lot of times in this game where i could've used a renegade interrupt lmao#like those protesters on the nexus#oh yeah sure let me release your entire families and then we can let the whole nexus suffer from starvation and lack of resources#you whiny ass babies#..... look i DO like this game#i swear

luke castellan x his second in command reader hate sex 🫡
warnings- unprotected sex, teasing, rough sex, slight degradation, mentions of head (m receiving), porn no plot, so.. yeah.
mdni 18+
[blurb]
you laid naked on luke’s king-sized bed, legs spread and pressed against your bare chest. desperate pleas escaped your throat mindlessly while he loomed from above, tapping and running his dick through your wet folds. you twitched with impatience as he stared down with a shit-eating grin, every muscle in your body acing for him to fill you already. greedily, you squirmed and tried to do it yourself, tired of waiting.
unfortunately, he was not having that. he snaked the hand that groped your thigh up to your stomach and wrapped his veiny fingers around your hip to hold you still. was it mean for him to tease you like this? probably. did he care? no.
you two had spent your days on princess andromeda bickering, although it was mainly just you bitching his ear off about how he did something wrong. it seemed like every second you were either rolling your eyes at him or ignoring him completely.
before tonight, he just shrugged it off and daydreamed about fucking some sense into you. but today, the tension from fighting grew too much, and you ended up choking and gagging on his length, knees burning from the carpet rubbing against your flesh.
so no, he didn’t feel bad, even as you groaned and threw your head back in irritation. after what he determined an appropriate period of suffering (although you would beg to differ), he gathered your slick around his tip one last time and slowly slid the head of his throbbing cock in. you let out yelp, surprised he was finally doing something.
that gasp quickly turned into moans of pleasure as he moved deeper inch-by-inch, your legs tensing with sensitivity. a groan escaped his lips once he bottomed out, shakily exhaling a breath he didn’t know was holding. clamping his eyes shut and bowing his head, he just sat for a moment, captivated by the way you clenched around him.
he tilted his head back up slightly, gazing down at your contorted face and grinning. gods, you looked so hot right now. beads of sweat rolled down the side of your face and your teeth were dug into your glossy, spit-coated lips. seeing you all messy for him made him snap, and he suddenly thrusted into you hastily.
all you could do was moan and dig your nails into his back, the pain from your scratches pushing him to fuck you until you couldn’t walk anymore. his breaths were labored and he occasionally let out a few deep groans, the sound of your skin slapping together filling the room.
a few minutes of pure bliss passed as luke relentlessly pumped into you, your tits jiggling rhythmically with every move. one of his hands fiddled with your boobs while the other stayed on your hip, till he began to crave more.
he brought both hands down to your waist, pulling you up off his dick and turning you over. you dazed in confusion as he manhandled you, now laying flat on the bed and feeling empty. he was quick to pull your thighs, dragging you closer the edge of the bed and onto your knees. he stuck it back in, thrusting roughly while you propped your elbows up. he shut down that immediately, harshly pressing on the bottom of your neck until your head was buried in the pillows.
the moans morphed into whimpers, too cock-drunk to form proper noises while your mascara ran streakily down your face. his fingers gripped your hair and tugged you up carelessly, leaning down to whisper in your ear.
“you’re so much hotter when you aren’t running that fucking mouth.”
