Kasumi didn’t even bother playing any of the audio files she had prepared. “Every other message is just ‘Extremely dangerous!’ or ‘approach with caution!’ but there’s nothing to suggest why. No rumors, no charges, no body count. She’s not a tech prodigy, she’s far too young to be a commando. Her last report card marked her as having below-average biotic ability, and she’s clearly stable enough to be in school, so she’s not like Jack at that age. No offense.”

Jack slurped her drink. “None taken.”

Shepard frowned, staring at the smiling, freckle-faced image of a girl who was currently the target of a galaxy-wide shadow-manhunt.

“So why spend these kinds of resources,” she murmured, “on a girl who hasn’t done anything wrong?”

TW: Suicide, forced institutionalization, anti-pureblood sentiment that resembles homophobia, religious trauma

The groupchat failed to physically prevent me from writing an exploration of ardat-yakshi and asari society and I’m making that everyone else’s problem.

I just need a dude who’s good to hug and cuddle up on. Someone I can grab and hold and who can do the same back when I’m riding that guy like a goddamn thoroughbred. Tits for balance or tummy to grab to be sweet.

feel like I'm just ruining friendships left and right and making it super awkward for everyone involved.

I am once again thinking about how odysseus who witnessed the horrors that the captured women went through (one of his main duties in the iliad was taking the women back home and making sure they were as comfortable as possible and safe because he was the only one trusted not to violate them further due to his devotion to penelope. And in the odyssey part of the reason circe sent him to the underworld was so that he'd have to listen to all these women's stories (before he could talk to the prophet) ). Who was one of the few that saw women as people and respected their space and opinions. And was then put in those exact same situations. I don't have the motivation right now to do a full literary analysis of this (I'll site the sources too) but oh man one day I'm going to write a full essay on this.

I would absolutely love for at least one of my friend groups to completely go all out for me for my birthday. The way girls at school get huge sashes and gift baskets from their friends. I've never really had that. I've never really had a group of friends band together to do something super special for my birthday aside from getting on call with my two best besties to play roblox. Which i guess is a bit disheartening because I've organized stuff like this for several people. I've put together calls so we could all sing happy birthday to someone and celebrate with them. Hell, not even a birthday celebration, but i once organized a going away party with my entire friend group for one of our friends who was moving to another state, because i loved them i wanted to them to know they'd be loved and missed by us. It would be nice to be on the receiving end of that but also it feels really silly to just Ask my friends to plan something special for me cause 1. Those are supposed to be surprises 2. I know it is My birthday and I have every right want to be treated like the center of the universe but I still feel very selfish asking people Hey can you make this day all about me and put effort into it please. Also it feels less genuine when people have to be Asked to celebrate me yknow. Idk maybe the realization that I'm turning 18 years old is finally fully kicking and that's what's got me down lately but man. For my birthday I really just want to know that I'm loved and wanted and not a nuisance that pisses people off every time I open my mouth

This will always be a better option than arguing with people and attempting to control them. It's not great, but at least I can control myself by just leaving
