summary: The Spectre simply ignores the panic as she begins to drown in old memories against her will. The hands of her past were at her throat to force her deeper down and swallow the truth. She had died that day, and so did they. warnings: ptsd, fire, blood, grief/loss, self-doubt, depression, femshep, shakarian wc: 2,687

It could be the color.

The brilliance of red, orange, and white. It is an elegant dance of destruction as it spreads like a virus. It consumes the world. Bit by bit. Devouring and leaving only a dying light in its wake and the blackness of the end. But she can't see the structure she stands within as it crumbles or the beautiful greenery beyond the platform. There are only the sparks of torn wiring and a damaged hull. A deep crimson staining the once pristine and shining metal palettes—dripping—spreading.

It could be the heat.

Zora was disgustingly humid. If it weren't for the regulators within the suit, she'd be standing in her sweat. Weighed down by the lack of energy as the air pulled every shred of water from her pores, draining her dry. But this was something different—this heat. It radiates from the shifting hues—pulsating and digging deep into the flesh without mercy, stealing your breath, and filling the empty spaces with its silent death. She can feel the quickening of her heart rate, thinking of the last time fire kissed her skin and what followed.

It could be the smell.

It's not long after the gunshot that it assaults her senses. It stings her eyes and claws at her nose. The smell of something horrid and putrid. She could only compare it to leather—to flesh as it reaches the sun's surface, scorched. The workers aren't there with them, their pain unseen and unheard. But, at her feet, all she finds are the bodies of good men and women who died in her name. It was just another day of searching through the galaxy in desperation. A cure for this oncoming plague known as Reapers—and it all ends in fire.

Her fist meets the side of his face without warning. Armored knuckles against his smug and prideful expression. He was ready for the hunt, and she was prepared to put him down. “Are you insane?” There's anger in the woman's tone—maybe a touch of disbelief. She had worked alongside every creature, from Rosetta to Aethon. Some good, others bad. But never one so willing to sacrifice the lives of others. The only crime they had been guilty of was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

“You're endangering lives—and the mission—for your own selfish revenge!”

“You really want to do this, Shepard?” Zaeed bites back. Finger eager on the trigger and ready to gain closure for his trauma, no matter the costs. No matter the civilians or his commander's life.

It could mean nothing at all, but Garrus doubts it. Her lips twist in a snarl as she turns her back on him, pretending not to care about the flames as they climb higher and spread further. It's all business with her. The Spectre simply ignores the panic as she begins to drown in old memories against her will. The hands of her past were at her throat to force her deeper down and swallow the truth.

She had died that day, and so did they.

A stern finger points, nearly jabbing at his plated chest, and the Turian can see it then—the mask. It’s the face of a woman burdened to save the galaxy. Placing herself high above little things like trauma and the night terrors she won’t speak of. However, if you listen closely, you can hear whimpered pleas for the pain to stop. Begging the heavens above for a moment of peace. But there was work to be done. No amount of tears could repair the damage in her mind.

“You were out of line! Now, thanks to you, I've got a burning refinery to save.”

Between the gunfire, he can see her squirming beneath the armor. Shaking out the tremors as the fear creeps in the hotter their surroundings become. It's starting to feel claustrophobic. Her body reacted without thought, sending out warning signs of an approaching doom. Her soul is suffocating by the grip of flickering light, and she can’t escape it.

But Shepard moves forward until the job is done and Zaeed is crushed under debris. He thinks for a moment that his commander—his new special something—was willing to leave the merc behind to rot like the people he condemned. He would have stood by her side as she abandoned him in the rubble. But it's no surprise that she lingers. She was putting her own troubles aside to reprimand a madman as he demanded her help despite spitting in her face. 

“How am I supposed to trust you?” She questions with a steady pace. The soldier focuses on the sound of her steps and the groan of agony on his tongue—the aggression. She was locked in on anything to douse the crack of fire whipping through the sky.

“I’ll do what I was goddamn paid to do!”

Sooner than Garrus would like, Zaeed is pulled from the fallen pillar, and the pair seem to come to an understanding. It's all too easy for his liking. Wishing he could shoot out the man's knees as punishment for being so careless and disrespectful to the woman between them. But her mind is elsewhere, and the Turian follows where she goes.

But he can only go so far.

He can't go there.

She's more quiet in the shuttle. Fingers interlocked as they hung between parted knees. After a mission, the space is typically filled with laughter or sarcastic remarks on poor aim or some other slipup. Sometimes a word or two was spared in kindness when things ended on a more sour, bloodied note. She's different this time. Lively eyes are now dark and empty, face expressionless as she falls further into the depths. That place he can't reach.

No matter how hard he tries.

Shepard is a silent storm the moment they settle back on the Normandy. The door slides open with a hiss, and she’s stepped from the platform before anyone even stands from their seats. Her body moves with ease, weaving through the maze of people she can't bear to look at. New faces smiling in place of where Charles Pressly once was. Hector Emerson, Addison Chase, Amina, Carlton—gone. The list of her fallen crew plays on a loop, plucking at old memories to piece together voices she was beginning to forget.

Garrus follows her.

He provides polite and hushed excuses as he aggressively brushes past the crew. Large hands cast them aside in desperation to simply touch the chill of her armor. But she was always steps ahead. Somehow predicting his shadow and the need to rescue her from a cell she had placed herself within. A prison of punishment and guilt. He watches with saddened eyes as Shepard slips away and stands alone in the elevator, focus cast downward as the doors close, separating the two. 

It could have been on purpose.

She could lock the cabin to spare her crew the destruction of what's meant to be the savior of the galaxy. The Reaper Killer—the hero. The woman who came back from the dead after her body was pulled and stitched back together by the manipulative hands of Cerberus. A soldier with a second chance, where others had been less fortunate. At least they would never know of what’s coming. This impending doom.

She's pacing again once she's isolated. Passing by the shimmering blue of a full aquarium and mindlessly kicking her discarded helmet across the floor. There's a silent war in her mind. Fighting against the tormented part of herself so she can continue on this journey without fear. Wars are not won with a broken resolve or a broken spirit.

It's a losing battle.

Her armor feels heavier and all too tight. It’s constricting and forcing the air from her lungs, threatening to crush her entirely. Her fingers act without thought, fumbling and trembling as they sloppily rip at the clasps to loosen the plating. Bit by bit, it begins to fall away with a crash at her feet, and yet it's not enough. Aching arms struggle to pull away the chest plate, unable to flip the latches. Shepard begins to panic.

Her feet are skating along the flooring, scuffing in her haste. She can feel the flicker of fire linger and flay her skin, digging deep through tissue and bone. It's hot enough to burn up the oxygen in her lungs, leaving her face red as she pushes her new modifications to the limit. But the desperation forces her to fumble and spin on her heels. For someone made of wires and machinery, Shepard feels painfully human. Her vision fills only with the black and speckled view of the galaxy as she drifts into nothingness—like she had done two years ago. Death was approaching, and she couldn’t stop it.

Blue eyes find her swept up in a fury of her own making. Eyes clenched shut, expression full of agony with gritted teeth. Shepard can't see the Turian, but knows he's there by instinct, calling out his name blindly. 

“I can't get—I can't-”

Garrus is quick to jump into action. Dismissing the shock of seeing someone he cared for so deeply unsettled, and unlike anything she offers up for the public eye. Shepard was only a woman placed high on the pedestal when some days she preferred to be forgotten. In the quiet of the ship when all others have gone for rest, he can faintly hear the murmurs of self-doubt and questioning. “Why didn’t Liara leave me behind?” 

He pries her hands away from her suit with force, and she fights back out of fear. The pair was equally desperate to pull her corpse from the fire, breathing life into her soul again. It's frustrating and clumsy. Fingers jamming into one another while he continues to swat her hands away, but she doesn't seem to understand in the madness. First come the gauntlets, falling to their feet in a pile.

“I can't breathe. Garrus, I can't-”

Her cheeks are dampened by fresh tears, and though the site breaks his heart into two, he can't pause to give comfort. Instead, her trembling words encourage him to move faster. Long talons worked diligently to undo the clasps, leaving the chest plate to fall with a loud thud. Her hands are finally still, and her torso expands with relief, yet her mind is elsewhere. The endless expanse of space filled with pieces of the SSV Normandy, drifting aimlessly.

Neither of them realizes she’s moving. Working on autopilot to escape the fire she felt kiss along her scarred flesh, with him effortlessly chasing after her to pull at the armor. The backs of her knees meet the edge of the bed with force, and she stumbles back into it, lying flat with attention on the window above, providing a once beautiful view of a universe well-traveled. Now, those twinkling stars remind her of something more grim. Bodies—the bodies of her friends. Lifeless and cast out into the abyss. They stare back at Shepard, gaining distance as gravity pulls her into orbit, all shifting to darkness shortly after.

“I failed,” Shepard states in a whisper, and the force against her legs stills momentarily, drinking in her grief like a poison and sharing in her agony. He begins to undress her again with hurried fingers, waiting for a sign of relief that never comes. Her eyes simply close to block out the light, but all she can see are the smiles of friends now gone and the families they’ve left behind. Teeth clamp onto a trembling lip, holding back the sobs that ache and beg to wreak havoc over her exhausted body.

Shepard is so lost in it that she doesn’t register the dip of the mattress as a familiar figure joins her. It only sinks in when his chilled skin reaches out to touch her fire, dousing the flames enough for her body to still. Goosebumps travel along her skin, mindlessly leaning into the palm that caresses her cheek, brushing away her sorrow.

She sees an ocean before her. His eyes are full of glistening light, endless and serene. She can’t help but raise a weakened arm, fingers tracing along the scars of Archangel. There had been such joy—such momentary bliss—in their reunion before he dropped to her feet, lifeless. Knowing she could have lost him then was torment enough. Shepard wasn’t entirely sure she could survive it a second time.

“I don’t want t’fail you.”

Her partner seems to deflate at the sound of her inner torment. Envisioning the horrors that play out in her mind on a near-constant loop—a painful similarity to his own. The loss of the ones you trusted—your friends, allies—maybe even family. And they entrusted you with their safety—their life, and it all ends in blood and loneliness in the vacuum of space.

But they weren’t alone anymore.

Elongated fingers reach to entangle with hers, hoping to soothe and comfort. A reminder that through all of the battles, aching hearts, and broken bones—he was still with her. He was still here. “When you found me on the Citadel,” he begins with a low tone. “I had pictured hundreds of different scenarios—what we would be up against. Fighting Geth, finding Vigil and Sovereign—who would be crazy enough to take it all on? One hit after the next?”

Shepard doesn’t speak, hiding the quiver of her lip between clamped teeth, struggling to will away the sadness. Garrus becomes a hazy vision in tired eyes, letting them close to instead focus on his touch—his voice as it speaks nothing but kindness. Something she never spared a moment of for herself as she worked this mechanical body to death.

“I’ve seen failure, and you don’t fit the description. You died just to do what was right. You saved them-”

“I didn’t save everyone,” she states in a weakened whisper.

“You can’t save everyone, Rae. But that doesn’t make you a failure. It doesn’t make you less.” He eases away her touch with care, cradling her hand as though she were made of glass to instead rest their entwined fingers against the center of her chest. No matter the amount of modifications, the real woman he loved was still there. Full of warmth and a beating heart—though aching. Proof of her humanity and every flaw and perfection that came with it. “It’s what you strive for that matters—what you live for. Hell, this moment proves what kind of person you are. You’re grieving over their loss and for your own.”

Her body stills, drinking in his words slowly—hesitantly. Part of her doesn’t want to believe she deserves the grace he provides. Families were now hollow and incomplete—left unfinished. Or there had been a stray soul that wandered into the Alliance, looking for their purpose with nothing to hold them back. Their existence is unknown to all others outside of the Normandy, making Shepard one of the few to carry on their name—to honor them.

With a heavy sigh, her head lolls to the side, immediately held in a trance by the crystal clear aquarium and the many colors that flickered across the glass. Garrus had once considered the idea of pet fish—calling them useless. As time passed, he had studied humanity. Maybe it was simple curiosity; maybe it was a newfound admiration of his commander, but he insisted their purpose could be calming and how right he had been.

“D’you think they’ll forgive me?” She mumbles. The woman is unaware of just how tightly she clings to him. Her knuckles paled from the grip, though he barely seemed to notice or care.

With the other arm embedded into the bed for support, his free hand maneuvers to come through sweat-matted hair. Brushing away the tangles with care and finding his heart soften at the sight of relaxation soon drifting over her features. A soldier's hold begins to loosen until she’s pliable, with eyes once more fallen shut. Though now, there’s a noticeable lack of wrinkles from a furrowed brow. There’s no sadness or frustration in the darkness—only peace in his embrace. “There’s nothing to forgive.”

[jackals-ships]

JACKAL I must apologize I was like I WILL GO CHECK F/O LIST because I am not 100% sure which bot you ship with (<- did not care about robots until suddenly I cared A LOT) though I thiiink it's Megatron bUT sorry if I'm wrong fkdjashkj BUT BEARING IN MIND I HAVEN'T FINISHED S1...I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SHIP(S) 👀 and perhaps read fic at some point if you are able to find it @goldenworldsabound

(<- did not care about robots until suddenly I cared A LOT) IS AN ENTIRE MOOD THO HFKF tfp is like some sleeper cell activation code i SWEAR,,, + ur all good !! i gotta fiddle w my f/o list a lil and then repost it bc i kept meaning to make minor changes an then forgor,

BUT ANYWAYS YES !!! he's also, hilariously, one of the f/os i have a physical lil guy of despite being not on my radar as long as like garrus hf

also a read more bc i woke up Rambly today <3

he gets to sit with the ponies :} bc he canonically likes mlp at least according to the lil ask Megatron bit + there was a whole comics crossover (2 I think actually?)

breakdown + knockout are also My Besties they started out as like kinda baby crushes <- local aro can't tell the difference between Feelings even in fiction more at 11 [lighthearted] before megs came for my braincell with the fuckin. steel chair HFJ so seeing you go 👀🥰 at knocks i was like FUCK YEAH LETS GOO !!! im dropping into his work station from the ships vents like oooo someone's got a cruuuuush ooooo you wanna be all (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠）don't u knocks- (jackal is once again banned from the nemesis)

okay okay but; i rlly only have one fic Finished and luckily had the foresight to post it to AO3. it's a lil older so not totally in character + canon but still silly and cute hjfkd

NOW GETTING INTO MY RED STRING TERRITORY-

when i get into something with a lot of continuities i tend to kinda? squish em together? or take bits and pieces going >:3 my city now, so the jackal x megatron ship is Primarily TFP but ive also absconded with fun movie details (like megs being i think it was 30? 40 ft tall? Fuck Huge,,,,) and also bits of comics lore/designs (holomatter is an interesting concept and im chewing on Meg's as we speak. gnawing on his arm even-)

but regardless this ship is totally my Slice Of Life Comedy Hour Chill LoFi Beats type of ship HKF like im a sucker for darker stuff higher stakes but i think this one has 0 stakes

like. like jackal and megatron literally met because jackal enjoys long walks on the beach exploring places Away from the city and Generally Away From Ppl to just sorta vibe. and ofc the normal thing to do when coming across a Definitely Alien And If Not Alien Then Like Secret Government Ship is to walk away. NOT wander ur happy lil ass inside like :0 yooooo what do These buttons do

and then when you get kicked out instead of getting squished like the bug you shouldn't come back via the air vents. again. and again and again and AGAIN and AG- until the local alien warlord gives in and is like "yeah okay this is my life now ig???" (soundwave was totally helping them btw. he likes drama 😌 and also has his own human hi adri so he can't say shit-) (also I've never decided on the Actual number of times they break it, in my brain it keeps slowly going up jus bc I find the concept SO funny. pov you're an alien warlord worried you got alien rodents and oh no NVM it's the human again. FUCK-)

it's absolutely the slowest burn too bc Meg's Refuses to admit that he has a crush on the weird squishy thing that keeps breaking in (until he's decided they're dating. and doesn't bother mentioning this) while jackals just 🥰 hehehoho big robot friend who calls me scraplet and sweetspark and sometimes puppy 🥰🥰🥰 also threatened to kill any mech who was mean to me 🤔🤔 weird. aaanyways

THERE'S ALSO a running joke in my head of that "what do you have?" "A KNIFE" "NO-" but it's jackal running off with energon bc you can't SHOW ME a cool liquid and have me NOT want to drink it !! Just a sippy. jus a lil- we'll have the hospital on speed dial pleeeeaaaase-😭

anyways tldr jackal megatron is "I'm not trapped with him he's trapped with me yaaaay :D" and "robot google; weird fuzzy feeling in spark?? how to remove weird fuzzy feeling?? robot google human exterminator near me-"

Leaving this as an open tag again because I'd like to get to know all of you! If you see this, you're tagged 💖

[elliewan]

Hi !!! What about D S U and X for the ask thing ?? 👀👀👀

Hiiii ♥ Thank you dearie :DDD I hope you’re doing ok! Here are my answers!

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice) 

Thermite/Thatcher? I wished I liked it because it’s waaay more popular and has a lot of content haha but I unfortunately don’t (I can’t unsee something sad about their dynamic).

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

I replied in a former ask, but I can still babble something different :3

Have I mentioned the Rainbow Battle Bots Ultimate Arena? Haha (name still under construction.) I don’t think I’m the only one to hc it, but I really enjoy the idea of Smoke and Mute hosting a regular drones/robots combat event at the base. At the very beginning of the reactivation of Rainbow, it may have been an occasion for Smoke to get to know Mute better (and flirt with him ofc). First contestants might have been Smoke/Mute vs. Twitch/Rook vs. Jäger/Fuze. 

Then with the arrival of new operators, new teams probably appeared like the ruthless Gridlock/Mozzie, Echo/Dokkaebi, and now Flores as the latest addition :D 

Lots of things could have happened in those championships, and in their time working on their drones. Maybe that’s how Jäger/Fuze could occurr, or at least it’d help Fuze being more included in the team in general. That’s also how Gridlock/Sledge kind of started in my SiegeTheValentines entry. 

I’m sure there’s also a very enthusiastic public for said championships. Tachanka brings vodka, while Amaru brings pop corn and Goyo with her, Castle often drops by, Ace records them, Clash gets way too invested and screams like during an actual football match and so on. haha

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

11 questions tag meme

Thanks for tagging me once more @bitter-stella Those were some amazing questions xd

What’s your favourite ingredient (cooking or eating)? Garlic (there is no amount of it that would be too much for me xd) and all kinds of herbs like basil, oregano and so on.

What’s writing trope you will never grow tired of? ‘Friends to lovers’ is something I won’t ever grow tired of but... BUT... I have a huge soft spot for the, let’s call it, ‘unspoken feelings’ - the kind of affection that rarely gets confessed with some big, profound words but instead shows itself in the characters actions, the way they look at each other and such... You probably get what I’m talking about.

Who would win in a fight, a shark or a bear? I’d go for a bear, ‘cause it can swim and theoretically could drag the shark onto the land where the fish suffocates. 

Name one fanfic that you have re-read countless times and it never ceases to make you happy/giddy/sad/etc. (And link it, too!) *coughs*Yours*coughs*

What are your favourite pairings?(Top 3) Why? What about them do you like? Shakarian - I’ll always love this one. It’s the first pairing I really fell in love with. Like ever. Garrus’ loyalty, the awkwardness, and just... everything about them... They are perfect. I still cannot comprehend my own love for the space-dinosaur-bird. There’s no Shepard without Vakarian, alright? Reyder - do I even need to elaborate on this one? Somehow I feel like they are just made for each other + it’s the perfect example of this ‘unspoken feelings’ thing I talked about in tropes. Fenhawke & Warden x Zevran - I can’t decide between those two to be honest ‘cause both are the sort of relationships build on the power of kindness and mutual trust... This and I might have a thing for difficult elven boyfriends. *sighs*

If you could only have one dessert for the rest of your life, what would it be? Icecreams! If I need to choose for only one flavour I’d go for almond.

Name one fashion style or trend that you like. (For the opposite sex!) I’m a sucker for suits (on both men and women to be honest), especially for the ones in shades of blue. But most of all things I love floral patterns on men’s clothing. Doesn’t matter if it’s a jacket, shirt or just a tie... Floral patterns are love.

Name an album you can listen to on repeat. “AM” by Arctic Monkeys.

Was there a particular scene or dialogue that made you fall in love with a character? If so, what was the scene/dialogue and who is the character? Can it wait for a bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations? ❤️ I’m joking ofc xd I can’t really pick the specific scenes or lines of dialogues... I don’t know if I can even describe what makes me love a character. It’s usually a sum of many things, character traits, their story arcs... Some characters grow on me over time and I can’t rid of them. It’s a rather complicated thing in my case.

If you had to change your name, what would you change it to? (Don’t need to provide your real one - just a new name you would pick.) Hah, I’m perfectly fine with my name, although sometimes, when filling  papers that have these kinds of squares for every letter I wish my name or/and surname could’ve been shorter xd

What’s your favourite plant/flower? I love poppies. Fields of red poppies and blue cornflowers make me extremely happy.

Yukine?? Maybe?? Like I tolerate him a lot more now but idk there is something about him that i keep getting snagged on. Him and Nora both just…idk irritate me a bit. But im slowly liking him against my stubborn spite.

….idk Mac?

EDI, idk why but I didnt like her when i first met her and now i love her, honestly she is great and I love the banter between her and Joker.

Needly, i thought he was an antagonist at first lol but i love him now, he’s plush

4 OTPs:

Kazubisha ofc

Philinda, Mac x Yoyo (idk the ship name whoops), Fitzsimmons (ofc!)

Shep x Liara T’soni,

Wayhaught!!! And Wyndoc(?)

I was tagged so long ago and I just was cleaning out my draft box so i decided to just post this. If you want to do it, go ahead and say you are tagged by me so I can check it out! Thanks for reading~

[talizorahs]

For that asky meme you reblogged, Mass Effect?

!!! thank you anon, here we go

MASS EFFECT

Favorite character

tali’zorah

Second favorite character

joker

Least favorite character

tbh probably hackett? don’t get me wrong, he’s a great character and a good asset to me3 and a key player in stopping the reapers. but like, ALL of my sheps disagreed with him majorly at one point or another, and me as well. i know he was military, but being such a large scale war, a little sympathy and time for pause after tragedy goes a long way. yes all of my sheps are v emotional and passionate

The character I’m most like

tbh i most see myself in ashley or liara? coming from a humble background and making myself into something great all by myself. i’m still in the middle stages but i can dream ok

Favorite pairing

oh god shepard x liara or ryder x liam. the Ls man. they slay me, so sweet and pure and precious romances. and ofc edi x joker

Least favorite pairing

i probably don’t have one i like the least? i like all of the romances in the game, have played them at some point with a shepard. i guess shepard x jacob i would LOVE more positive content for, that’s a good ship and i wish it had been handled better between ME2 and ME3.

Favorite moment

dude it’s the assault on earth!!! obvs!!! that cutscene has me in tears guaranteed every single fucking time. that or the goodbye scene of your LI in ME3 before attacking the citadel. slay me, bioware

Rating out of 10

10 OUT OF 10 END ME it’s such a good series and i love it so so so so much

thank you so much for asking anon. ask meme post is here if you want to ask more!

Share your self care!

Thanks for the tag @xxsupervampwolfxx O needed to get my mind off things I just checked the news. Stay indoors everyone! 😣

🌿Favorite Comfort Food

Pasta! Omg I could eat pasta, noodles of any kind really, for every meal for the rest of my life and I think I'd love that! Also ice cream and popcorn are big faves

🌼Favorite Alcohol (or hot drink)

I don't really like to drink, some can be tasty, but honestly I'd rather have fresh squeezed juice, boba teas, or hot cocoa/tea

🌷Favorite relaxing axtivity

Oh so many! Drawing ofc, a nice dog walk when no one else is around, I've fallen even more I love with gardening and watering my plants, pruning them and have even started collecting rainwater and it's my favorite thing right now! I also enjoy reading, organizing things, and other stuff

🌸Favorite fluffy/feel good fic

Are we talking fanfic? Or any fic? Lol lately I've been reading my friends fic of our OCs and that has me vry soft lol I also have a couple manga and other fanfics I return to for cute fluff, it's my favorite after all!

🌻Favorite calming scent

Anything beachy or tropical! Basically of it has coconut Im a fan! Vanilla is also a favorite :3

🌺Favorite relaxing or uplifting song

Ocean Eyes is a favorite too @xxsupervampwolfxx ! It was my alarm song so I've been waking up to it every morning and still haven't gotten tired of it! So relaxing! But right now I'm obsessed with two very different but equally beautiful songs; After Dark by Mr. kitty and Golden Hour by Kacey Mustgraves. This second one especially because it perfectly represents my OCs 😭🙏 Oh and Wait a Minute! by Willow 👌

🌵Favorite white noise

Irl nature sounds, especially rain and thunderstorms. Every now and then I'll use meditation music or something similar to sleep to, especially when I'm really sleep deprived or having anxiety.

🍄Favorite book to get lost in

Oof like...basically anything! Especially manga with pretty art! I love finding and starting new stories I get sucked in right away. But sometimes it's hard to stay thru to the end. Some favorites I love to reread are Koe no Katachi (a silent voice), MARS, Sense & Flexibility, a really awesome fanfic novelization of Mass Effect focusing on Garrus and Shepard's relationship, and of course ...Picture This, the greatest Gaston content on the planet, a fanfic where Gaston and Belle's relationship takes off and slowly becomes something really beautiful🖤

💐Favorite chill-out TV shows

Lol this bad basically become the only thing I watch since college😅 so let's see futurama, Brooklyn 99, baby daddy, Avatar TLA, anything need corps and monster high (tho I may get too excited to actually 'chill' to these, old anime like ranma, inuyasha, gun x sword, and black jack. You know what, fuck it and just put on House Hunters and I'll be loving life 👍👍

🌹The best advice you've ever had

"You dont know how strong you are until strong is all you can be. Sometimes it takes a challenge to take you there." One of my aunt's said this once and idk if I'd ever heard anything so true.

"Escape the cookie-cutter syndrome" my brother had this on a shirt, wore it once a week for his whole life I swear. I don't blame him tho, those are words to live by.

Idk anyone's urls any more lol so I tag anyone that needs a little pause and distraction rn 🙏

Share your self care!            

Thanks for the tag, @katersann! I never do these cause I only ever have like just one person to tag, but I’m gonna do it this time! lol

🌿 Favourite comfort food hmm I think most of my comfort foods are desserts like brownies. I just love brownies. Though maybe mashed potatoes,also pasta, are comfort foods for me and biscuits! I love biscuits! lol I just really love bread. 

🌼 Favourite alcohol (or hot drink!) Rum, especially coconut rum, also tequila so any drink with those I like. I also love wine. Mostly moscato though.

🌷 Favourite relaxing activity Baking is something I sometimes do to relax, unless it’s for an order lol, I also sometimes go walking while listening to music (I need to get back on that but maybe after all this craziness is over), I also like to read and I love to watch my fav movies and tv shows.

🌸 Favourite fluffy/feel-good fic Oh man I don’t know I actually haven’t read fics in a long time. I am ashamed. I actually haven’t read much of anything in a long while. 

🌻 Favourite calming scent I think I like the scent of lavender also bath and body works has this aromatherapy scent of rose and vanilla and I just love that smell.

🌺 Favourite relaxing (or uplifting) song Oh this is hard! I’m gonna say Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish. There are others but I can’t think of them right now. lol 

🌵 Favourite white noise Rain, also waves rolling in at the beach.

🍄 Favourite book to get lost in So I for some reason can’t reread books, werid I know, but some of my favorties are the Lux series, The Vampire Diaries, the Alice in Zombieland series and the To All the Boys books. 

💐 Favourite chill-out TV show Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf (not sure if those are considered chill-out but I love them lol) Friends, Guys Grocery Games, Sabrina the Teenage Witch

🌹 The best advice you’ve ever had I have bad memory so I can’t think of any at the moment. lol I know I have been given some good advice in my life I just wish I could remember them.

New headcanon and I gotta put it SOMEWHERE so I can rely my heart on it during my illfated final replay of ME3 Shepard X Garrus relationship (my shepard, meaning) would never have worked. While he is her greatest friend, she loves him and he is a great FWB, his attitude towards relationships and actions in romance are nothing she could stomach, let alone enjoy. But ofc world ending war is not THE TIME for break ups especially with a person you genuinely love, even if some of his actions make you "eh whut". Had they had a chance to develop their relationship further, they would have probably amicably drifted apart over a year or so, hopefully staying friends. But you know Shep dies (Yes I was totally forced to come up with this to survive how shit Garrus romance in ME3 was, @arrenkae do you feel my pain bro)
