HEHDJDJD

Reminds me btw I made an opposite alternate genderbent type thing of your wife?? Kinda like that one Skirtzsquad AU on here—here she is tho lol

And this is Kevin and Rick's alternates—

OHHH MY WIFE!! LOOK AT HER SHE’S SO PRETTYYYY

[oh-shit-i-spilled-my-genderfluid]

this isn’t exactly an art request (unless you wanna draw them w/ pride flags ofc!) but do you have any pride headcanons for the sawyer family? if so, what are they?

I do have a few actually! Most of them are things I’ve seen other people say lol

Drayton: love the hc that he’s a transman. We love elderly trans people. I personally kinda see him as straight but I do like the Drayton/Lefty ship so maybe bi? Pronouns he/him

Bubba: genderfluid, or maybe cis and gnc. I like all the trans hcs but I think I kinda lean more towards him being a guy who’s gnc. As for sexuality, we all know what Drayton thinks of s-c-e-x so I don’t think Bubba would have much room to explore. I can see him as maybe pan, or unlabeled? He just likes some people and don’t think too much of it. Might lean towards women or at least fem-presenting people. Pronouns he/him when he’s male presenting, she/her when female

Nubbins: gay. I love Franklin/Nubbins and you will have to pry that ship from my cold dead hands. Can also see him as bi. I also don’t think he cares is much about gender, like Bubba he just likes some people and that’s the end of that. He/him

Chop Top: I think he gives unlabeled/omni vibes. Once again, he doesn’t care about gender and stuff, he likes them for their person, not their gender. Alternatively he could be straight but bi-curious. As for gender stuff I feel like he would dabble in some gender nonconformity, and might be genderqueer (also transfem Chop Top would be awesome). Everyone (including himself) defaults to he/him but he doesn’t care if you call him something else, it doesn’t matter to him

As for drawings I’ve done one a couple weeks ago for an ask about Sawyer headcanons!

Johnny Cage analysis part 1

Let’s get a few things out of the way, one being the “bimbo-fication” of Johnny Cage. I’ve seen (mostly on TikTok) saying Johnny is very stupid and some saying he wouldn’t understand what you are saying 80% of the time. Then in turn making him a massive slut and doing anything to get fame.

This I can disprove just by playing the game, background info, and extra items around the house. Example: Sento, previous movies, and his college education.

Sure he’s not the brightest man, far from it, but this man had to be a little smart if he got a degree in Quantum Mechanics. He also knew the story of Sento, thus why it’s one reason to not giving it up to Kenshi (who I could also write so so much about) since he thinks Kenshi is lying.

Then you also have to be pretty smart and a strong willed to do a scene for 40 takes to get absolutely perfect. He want’s everything he does to be perfect and that also requires you to memorize a script.

Yeah he’s full of himself but I think it’s just a front he shows people. You can see it crack after the scene Kenshi’s eyes get stabbed out, showing he cares for someone else other than himself.

You know who he didn’t show that to? Kris. He gave her only what I can call excuses. I think at the end of MK1 he realizes she was right. Though it took her taking almost everything in the divorce to realize.

Though it shows he’s happy, still joking around in his intros and even in the tutorial of the campaigns(?). Plus he’s willing to ask for help.

—————-

Something else I wanna touch on is Johnny’s bad mannerisms. In his intros with Omni-man it can be implied that Johnny didn’t have a good father figure in his life.

I don’t know if this implies to the MK1 timeline but it’s implied that he didn’t have a good childhood with no one in his family seeming to like him.

Then with MK11 he is trying to be a better father than his father was to Cassie, basically saying “yeah dad made us (younger clone) bad, but Hollywood made us worse.”

I’m going back to MK1 now, it shows in his living room(?) that he has a bar, now I know people have bars in basements, garages, and maybe a whole room dedicated to it but never the living room.

Then right before Kenshi enters looking for Sento, I think it’s implied he was prepared to drink himself to sleep for the night. Since his wife left him, no one wants to hire him, and he’s having financial issues.

As well as having bad habits if he goes against himself he asks if “he’s still sleeping off (name)’s party.” Implying he has done several things damaging to his health.

Maybe not all the time but I think those two things, maybe even more examples

That’s it for right now, honestly shout out to my boyfriend for talking to me about the awful mischaracterization of him. Simply because I got pissed off at getting 3 posts in a row about babying Johnny Cage.

(Also I have several strong opinions on how people talk about Kenshi, sorry guys people not understanding Sento’s power is showing, also I’m scheduling this for when I go into work just in case people want to add something)

[moonmoonthecrabking]

bc i was inspired by the @june-doe-event here are my thoughts on the rtc queer identities (spoiler: none of them are straight)

ocean: so she’s definitely ace. but like, there is sabm but i choose to believe that was a one-off. i don’t believe she’s attracted to men, but i have a hard time choosing between aromantic ocean and lesbian ocean. to which i go in my little bisexual way, Why Not Both? i think she’s not romance repulsed but doesn’t experience romantic attraction. she’s probably cis, but also i’d believe it if she were actively running from any potential gender crises. her sexuality crisis took enough out of her. give her a breather and come back next pride month.

noel: canonically gay. definitely (hc-wise) uses he with the occasional she because. but i don’t know if that’s in like a bigender way or just a vibes way. he knew he was gay for a long time, and using she probably just sprung up on her. i’m leaning towards bigender tho.

mischa: the bisexualest man of all times. more bisexual than misha collins. i- this isn’t canon, but isn’t it tho? evidence: noel’s lament and talia. i think that kiss Awoke Something In Him and he went “oh fuck i’m not straight uhhhh quick let’s sing about women in a rapper way and a woman in a love way so they can’t tell”. but noel knows. noel gruber fucking knows. also polyamorous because he has two hands for noel and talia. i support transmasc mischa but i also support raging trans ally mischa.

ricky: i normally say bi, but i have many bisexuals, i like omni for ricky. it feels right. i’m honestly considering arospec in some manner but i really don’t know. also:not cis. i respect transmasc ricky, love it’s believers, but i love transfem ricky, pronouns they/she +. you *csn* use he, but you have to use five different sets of neo pronouns in the conversation to earn that. i think i still use just they/them mainly in posts as to not invalidate transmasc ricky believers.

jane doe: depends on how you perceive gender and sexuality.

penny: pan. totally. pan penny until i die. perhaps pansexual homo romantic?? i think she doesn’t wanna label her gender, but it’s not fully cis. does use it/it’s semi-frequently.

constance: *hits her with my bisexualification ray*. i need her to be bi for me and my needs and that’s what she is in this post. i do ship blackrose, no i am not okay. i do also think she has some form of split attraction. like, biromantic no doubt. possibly demisexual?? definitely either demi or ace towards guys. gals and enbies, she could be homosexual or demisexual (or ace if you wanna). i believe she had a lot of motivations for That Thing. i’ve seen a decent amount of demigirl constance, stunning, but also fierce (in this case trans) ally constance. yeah i think they’re a demigirl. i like that flag for her.

bonus

karnak: nb achillean

virgil: gay man (male rat)

talia: *hits her with my bisexualification ray*

Challenge Accepted pt. 10

The Omni Arena was dark and quiet, save for the dim security lighting that cast eerie shadows across the canvas. Skye sat alone in the center of the ring, her legs crossed and her eyes closed. It’s almost here. My first fight. Am I ready for this? Can I really go toe-to-toe with someone like Reina Adora? Her heart pounded in her chest, a tempest of conflicting emotions swirled in her mind.

Shaking her head as if to dispel the doubts, Skye rose to her feet and took a deep breath. She began to move around the ring, her steps slow and deliberate, her arms flowing gracefully.. She tried to envision the ring as a stage, a place where she had always felt at home. Just another dance, another performance, another stage, she repeated in her mind like a mantra. Except the stakes are real. The punches are real. The pain is real.

Just then, the door to the arena burst open, followed by a metallic crash. Light poured through the doorway as Skye's heart leapt into her throat. Security? Damn, I’m busted.

The figure stepped into the dim light, revealing Niki, who was picking up a ladder she had just dropped. "Hey, Skye. Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. What are you doing here so late?"

Skye let out a sigh of relief. "Just trying to shake some pre-show jitters, you know? What about you? What's with the ladder?"

Niki propped the ladder against the wall. "I need to check the wiring on the projector. Gotta make sure we have the right cables and connections for the anime party on Sunday."

"Oh, right, the anime party. I'll be there," Skye said, her voice subdued.

Niki climbed into the ring, her eyes narrowing with concern. "You alright? You've seemed so pumped in the gym, so full of energy."

Skye leaned on the ropes, her gaze distant. "I'm just so nervous, Niki. This might be my only shot, you know? I'm not even signed, but tomorrow night? I will be in this ring with a WVBA boxer and I’m scared. What if I’m in over my head?”

Niki nodded, her expression softening. "I get that. A couple of weeks ago, scared out of my mind. My first fight. Yeah, it was against my best friend, but I thought Cutie was gonna wipe the floor with me."

"How did you get over the nerves?" Skye asked, her eyes searching Niki's for an answer.

Niki sighed. "I didn’t. But, I focused on what I could control. My training, my mindset, my strategy. And I leaned on my support system. Let go of the outcome and just fight my fight."

Skye shook her head. "It's not that simple, Niki. You’ve trained for years, I’ve trained for months. I don’t know what ‘my fight’ is. This is the real deal, and I don't know if I can—"

“Sometimes,” Niki interrupted, resting a steady hand on Skye’s shoulder, “you’ve got to just dive in and find out what you’re made of.”

Skye looked Niki in the eyes, her own still uncertain, “I wish it was that easy for me.”

Niki, a sudden spark in her eyes. "I have an idea. Wanna play a game?"

Skye looked at her, puzzled and intrigued. "A game?"

Niki grinned. "Yeah. How about we go a round? Right here, right now. No crowd, no cameras, no pressure. Just you and me."

Skye hesitated, her eyes widening. "Are you serious?"

Niki nodded. "Absolutely! Sometimes, the best way to face your fears is to confront them head-on. So, what do you say?"

Skye looked at Niki, her eyes widening with confusion and concern. "I say you’re crazy! We don't even have gear, and my debut is tomorrow!"

Niki chuckled, shaking her head. "Whoa, whoa, I'm not suggesting we beat each other up. I'm talking about shadowboxing. We'll move, punch, and defend as if we're each other's shadow. No contact, just a way to work on our skills and shake off some nerves."

Shadowboxing? Skye thought. I've done that plenty of times, but never with a partner. Skye thought, then said, "Okay, I think I get it. Kind of like a dance, but with jabs and hooks?"

Niki grinned. "Exactly! Think of it as a competitive improv dance. We're going to mirror each other's moves, anticipate, and react. It's all about focus and rhythm. All the work and learning and none of the black eyes and bruises."

Skye's eyes lit up, her apprehension giving way to excitement. "Alright, I'm in. Let's do this."

Niki started to loosen up, rolling her shoulders and stretching her arms. "Good. But don't hold back, okay? I'm going all out, and I expect the same from you."

Skye moved to the opposite corner of the ring, bouncing lightly on her toes as she started to loosen up. "Don't worry, I won't go easy on you. Prepare to be amazed."

Niki pulled out her phone, setting a timer. "We'll go for three minutes. Come out swinging when you hear the bell." She placed her phone on the apron and stepped back into her corner.

Skye nodded, her eyes focused, her body taut with anticipation. The buzzer on Niki's phone blared, and they both sprang into action.

For the next few minutes, the ring was a whirlwind of motion. Skye moved gracefully, her feet gliding over the canvas as she threw a series of jabs and hooks into the air. Niki countered, her own movements sharp and precise, her imaginary punches aimed with intent.

"Come on, Skye, is that all you've got?" Niki taunted, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

Skye chuckled, her competitive spirit ignited. "You wish! You ain't seen nothin’ yet!"

Both women moved in a fluid dance of feints, jabs, and dodges, their playful taunts filling the air. "You're good, but you’ve got nothin’ on me," Skye shot back, ducking under Niki's imaginary uppercut.

"Oh, you think so?" Niki retorted, sidestepping and throwing a pretend jab at Skye's head.

As they continued to shadowbox, their movements became more synchronized, their playful taunts turning into words of encouragement. "Nice footwork!" Skye called out as Niki slipped an imaginary straight right.

"Right back at you!" Niki replied, mimicking Skye's bob and weave.

They continued to dance around the ring, their movements fluid and precise, each woman pushing the other to react faster, move smarter. It was a ballet of feints, jabs, and dodges.

The buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the round. Both girls were panting, their faces flushed, their clothes damp with sweat, foreheads glistening from their effort. They met in the center of the ring and hugged, their earlier tension dissipated in the heat of friendly competition.

"Skye, you're good. Really good," Niki said, her eyes sincere. "You've sparred with Joe, and now you have been in this ring with a WVBA boxer. You’re not just ready for tomorrow, you belong here."

Skye smiled, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thanks, Niki. I really needed this. It helped, more than you know."

Niki looked at her friend, her eyes searching. "Still nervous?"

Skye burst into laughter. "Hell yeah, I'm still nervous!"

Niki joined in the laughter. "Good. Nerves keep you sharp. They make you respect your opponent and the sport. Use them to fuel you, not to hold you back."

Skye nodded, her eyes meeting Niki's. "I will. Thanks, Niki."

Niki picked up her phone, turning off the timer. "This isn't the last time we'll be in this ring together, Skye. Next time, it'll be a real match."

Skye's eyes sparkled at the thought. "I hope so. Because dancing with you for real would be awesome."

[faggot-friday]

I hope this gets a very low anon hate score but

How can you be both Omnisexual and a lesbian? I'm unfamiliar with what Omni means but I'm assuming there's overlap so is it just a case of two terms both fitting sometimes?

hi there! happy to explain 😊

so omnisexual means “attraction to all genders”. unlike bisexual, which is two or more — and could be used for someone who’s attracted to all genders, im not saying it can’t — omni is just all genders. period. everyone is hot, fuck you. and unlike pansexual, which is referred to sometimes as “gender-blind”, gender is a factor in my attraction. although definitions of labels like these are very interchangeable. so. basically the definitions of all of those terms depend on the person choosing them. it all boils down to “i vibe with this label, fuck anyone who says otherwise” which is why i chose omni 👍 anyways

i’m pretty much solely attracted to women. love ‘em. shoutout to women. so the lesbian label works. right? i’m someone who is attracted to women and feminine-presenting people almost exclusively. so yeah. lesbian works.

BUT. but but but. i am attracted to men sometimes. and it’s not significant enough that i just drop the lesbian label entirely, but it’s not ignorable enough that i can pretend it doesn’t exist for the sake of, i don’t know, being a Pure and Good Lesbian™️. fuck that shit. shoutout to men you guys are cool too.

but i love the label lesbian. love being a lesbian, love being a dyke. i didn’t wanna drop it over a couple men. (sorry men.) so i adopted the title of ✨mspec lesbian✨, mspec being an abbreviation of multiple-attraction spectrum, a.k.a people who are attracted to multiple genders. your bisexuals, your pansexuals, and your omnisexuals (😌).

mspec lesbian just means. lesbian who is attracted to multiple genders. generally someone who identified as a lesbian and then found out the fuck with men and went Oh God Oh Shit Oh No.

some mspec lesbians leave it at just “mspec” and some define the mspec part of their identity, which is what i did ! which is where the omnisexual bit comes from. i sort of. booted the mspec off the start and put my girl omni there instead.

tl;dr i’m an omnisexual lesbian because i thought i was just straight lesbian (like straight vodka but instead of chugging alcohol you’re . no i shan’t say) but then i discovered oh men are hot too sometimes but i didn’t wanna give up on lesbianism so i just yoinked the omni label and used that as well. so yes! like you said! it’s just a case of both terms fitting!

(also your anon hate score is 0/5. not even any hate in there smh)

Garbage Farm #41

2023-03-05, Garbage Farm session #[41]?, Spring 21–Summer 4, year 4 (someday I’ll go back and reconstruct the session numbers, but I will not be attempting to reconstruct exact in-game dates for every session)

Cast:

Me (@mothmute​)

E.B. (@salamand3rin​)

Kimi (@2kimi2furious​)

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

Lewis calls to check up on us, but Kimi knows his secrets......

Kimi is worried about Alex leaving her

After missing the chance to build a coop the previous day, we start a duck coop by the pond in the lower-left quadrant!

supposedly, ducks can swim?? and we wanna see this for ourselves

I go for an adventure to the skull mines (in search of Prismatic Shards) and make it to level 50 or thereabouts

My next trip only makes it to level 32

Alex figured out Kimi was thinking about pre-emptively divorcing him, and started helping with laundry and dishes.

Flower dance!!

I wish I could bring Frucko, I bet he’d have a great time

All the kids are at the dance!!

Marnie continues lamenting the unofficial status of her relationship with Lewis

(Vincent wants to be the flower queen. Someday, Vincent!)

Oh hey, Mutant Carp!

Kimi got a magical makeover!

Green hair that makes her look kinda like Caroline, so she got another magical makeover!

darker green, in braids

Rainy day in Spring, I attempt to fish at the Log of Legend — alas, no luck.

Heart event with Haley, wherein I open a jar for her

Crystal ceremony with Emily, I don’t even know how long ago we finished that special order

New shirt! Skeleton shirt, made with fresh skeletons

“were they ethically-sourced?”

I mean ... they were wild-caught?

Kent continues sending mail-bombs.

Last strawberries of the year!

(Somewhere in here, Kimi develops a cheese backlog, like the United States cheese crypts)

I venture into the Skull Cavern and escaped with exactly 1hp.

hoot hoot, it’s owl time!!

Summer!! I bought so many seeds and we didn’t even use all of them

Purchased a community upgrade to build Pam and Penny a house

(Somewhere in all this, I bought another pond to grow sea urchins. More on that another time.)

Kimi talks about giving the island boy a mango, which he says he’ll put in his “nest”

E.B. speculates on the boy hatching it, thinks he’d fit in with all the other feral children living on Garbage Farm

(Elliott had a question for me......)

at some point, Kimi concluded that Elliott was also a himbo, but a more refined kind of himbo than Alex

perhaps, an art-is-anal himbo

I’m tired of risking life and limb for Prismatic Shards, so I start breaking into my stash of Omni Geodes

oh hey a Dwarf Gadget, I need that so I can build a whole-ass computer

(no luck on the prismatic shards)

I need a bunch of coal for future plans, and we’re perpetually short, so I buy something like 275,000g worth of coal from Clint

oh hey it’s summer, I should get some Sturgeons for the Luau! I mean at this point we have other options, but, it’s a tradition!

"you can get them from the pond"

They gotta be gold-star and the farm-raised ones are just normal

"oh the sturgeon we have at home isn't good enough"

not for The Governor, no.

(E.B. has been making tree fertilizer and cutting down trees, we always need more wood)

TO-DO:

more Tools for Kimi

more Ponds for Fish

more Geodes for Clint

more Big for Melon

more Sturgeons for Luau

more Skulls for Me.........?

[spirit-feminist-bookclub]

This is gonna sound very silly but are there any books on belief in a higher power that isn’t of a major religion? I’ve always felt that there’s something greater than us, but all of the omni- stuff (like omnipotent) never made sense to me. Like I don’t necessarily believe that the higher power is “more powerful” than us as humans or even animals but rather we all move another state of being—this state not being “better” or “worse” (so no heaven or hell.) Even though I don’t plan on having kids, the fact that women can can bear children like stupidly links to the existence of a something out there for me. The fact that we can draw atoms and put them together to create life is insane to me. Sorry this was so rant-y, and thanks for all the stuff you’ve already posted ❤️

hi love, i'm not that well-read on spiritual books which is also one of the reasons i made this book club lol. i want to branch out into more witchy and spiritual books in general. i agree with the annoyance of talking to people who are religious who always claim that there's always a "higher, more powerful" power out there who has like "created us" or controls the universe. the universe to me is the highest power, but we are all a part of the universe and a reflection of it on earth. how are we more powerful than ourselves? just seems silly to me. and yeah the creation of life and the cycle of life is a beautiful,magical thing. i'm not sure what counts as a "major religion" to you, but you could definitely just try reading different books on dif cultures spirituality and beliefs and see what clicks for you and feels the most "true" to you. pagan and eclectic spirituality is a very wide net, so yeah, go poke around it.

your general statements remind me of when my grandfather was going through a phase after my grandmother passed away and was really into finding peace through other beliefs that weren't just "she's in heaven" that catholicism says. he needed a more like sustainable understanding of the cycle of life and death, so he read a lot of interesting stuff from celtic mythology and spirituality if that's somewhere you'd wanna start. i don't remember the specific books he read, this was like seven years ago sadly. but i think you could try finding books about that sort of theme and see where it leads you.

Derek gets forced to watch some sci-fi show about a surly, secret prince and the sarcastic young spaceship captain hired to aid him on his quest. Strangely enough, he finds himself hooked on it. So much so that he's even drawn into the fandom. There he meets a popular fanfic author with an oddly endearing attitude, and he gets rather smitten.

The boy, Stiles Stilinski, had always been into MMORPGs. The other boy, Ithuriel, had always been into MMORPGs as well, albeit secretly. The Alpha, Derek Hale, was possibly the object of Stiles's affections. One day, Stiles met Ithuriel.

But be warned, this is not a tragedy in which Derek Hale saves Stiles's virtue from Ithuriel. That would be ridiculous.

This is a love story.

The boy looks like a dream, the way the sunlight streams through the open door, lighting up his silhouette as he strides into the cabin.

[anxiousnerdwritings]

I just stumbled across your Yandere Cecil hcs & I immediately fell in love with it! Then I started wondering how he would react if his s/o was a superhero? Let’s say that his s/o is the 2nd most powerful being on Earth. They’re so dangerous that THE Omni-Man low-key considers them a threat to his mission & existence (besides Mark). While Cecil’s chest warms up whenever he looks them, his mood also quickly turns grim when he thinks about the possibility of having to kill them one day bc they’re such a threat to humanity. He’s torn between the idea of doing everything in his power to preserve your smile vs thinking about the bigger picture. It doesn’t matter how much you do to brighten someone else’s day, how many lives you save, how patient and empathetic you are, how beautiful, how charming, and so on bc these kinds of throngs don’t last long (Remember the last time an all mighty charismatic being swore to defend to Earth unconditionally?). You may be a benevolent god/goddess for now but what happens when you’re suddenly not? All it takes is one. bad. day.……If you wanna escalate things even further you could even picture Omni-Man after giving up on trying to convince Mark to join him, trying to become a mentor to Cecil’s s/o because he views them as the only human “worthy” of standing by his side to assist him with his endeavors. Cecil’s superhuman s/o makes his heart race in both a good and bad way.

I love this idea! Cecil is torn; he wants to love and protect his darling but he also has his duty to protect the world from them if the time ever comes. He would do everything in his power to keep them happy and content, keeping the peace so he doesn’t have to take his darling down one day. Meanwhile, Nolan has had his own obsession in the making. He’s worked alongside Superhero!Reader for awhile and when he saw just how powerful they were he knew he needed them on his side. They could conquer Earth together; platonically or romantically.

Nolan and Cecil will inevitably pick up on each other’s obsessions with Superhero!Reader and the tension will only get all the more suffocating. Nolan will try his damndest to get close with Reader and hopefully persuade them to follow his Viltrumite beliefs without completely giving his true intentions away in the case they’re adamant about their good guy role. When everything does finally come to light though and Nolan’s true intentions are revealed Cecil couldn’t be more relieved. Not only does it get Nolan’s obsession out of the picture for awhile but it also gets his influence away from Reader too. Now, Cecil can go back to focusing on keeping Reader content so they don’t do the same but there is an added level of worry that Reader will follow Nolan.

I can see Mark also having an obsession but more on the platonic side. His dad betrayed him and everyone else but Superhero!Reader stood their ground. Like, I have no doubt Reader swooped in during Mark and Nolan’s fight, kicking Nolan’s and protecting Mark. He would look up to them as a new and better role model. Mark’s attachment wouldn’t be very subtle so Cecil would undoubtably pick up on it and he wouldn’t have much of a problem bringing Mark in to help keep Reader good and on their side. Maybe if Reader is busy focusing on training Mark and being a role model, as well as going about their heroic duties then maybe they won’t turn bad. Cecil willl do whatever he has to all just so he doesn’t have to fight his darling. Meanwhile Mark is just happy to be around Superhero!Reader as mush as possible.

Summary: The storm is coming, and it’s on Virmire.  

Chapter 01: Skin and Bones (Ao3)

New Message, Shepard, Sam, Staff Commander, 5923-AC-2826

-You awake?

Kaidan blinks at the message flashing on his omni-tool, timestamped 02:17. He mutters to himself and looks at his chronometer, which reads 04:03. With a little more muttering, he rolls out of his rack and into his fatigues, stubbing his toe on his boots in the dark and swearing softly. Before making his presence known he pauses at the head to splash some water on his face and do some damage control on his bed head, lest Joker catch him in the corridor again.

He hopes he won’t find Shepard in the mess, but experience dictates otherwise. Sure enough, the whisper of that familiar biotic field hums under Kaidan’s skin as he approaches. Shepard sits at his usual table, with a jar of instant coffee open in front of him and a spoon.

Oh. One of those nights. And Kaidan had slept through it. Damn.

Shepard looks up the moment their fields intersect, expression softening in an uncustomary rush of relief that vanishes when Felawa emerges from the galley, holding a cup of actual coffee. The serviceman pauses dutifully to greet Shepard on his way back up to the CIC, but stops short in horror at the sight of a spoon full of instant granules.  

Shepard turns an opaque stare at the hapless serviceman as he shoves the spoon in his mouth and starts to chew.

“If you’d done N5 you wouldn’t have any fucks to give, either,” he says, before digging into the jar again.

Felawa swallows, looks down at his coffee, then salutes and beats feet for the stairs.

Kaidan sits down at the table with a chuckle, snatching the jar out of Shepard’s hands and screwing on the lid.

“Why do you do that? He just wanted coffee, and now he’s going to be haunted by that,” he gestures at Shepard and his spoon, “for the rest of his life.”

“It’s good for him,” Shepard says with a lopsided smile. “And you think it’s funny.”

“I do not.”

“Liar.”

Kaidan shakes his head and slides the jar out of his reach. “Sorry I wasn’t up.”

“At oh-two-hundred? My, how inconsiderate of you.”

“Yes, because we don’t have, what, five years now, of shared insomnia to work from? You could have woken me.”

“Nah. How could I interrupt all that drool?”

Kaidan rolls his eyes. “There was no drool. How many times do we have to do this?”

“As many times as you argue.”

Kaidan chuckles again, but sobers quickly. Shepard’s deflecting, and he’s falling for it. Being a bad sleeper is one thing. But these days, Shepard does his best to avoid sleep. Like he’s afraid of what’ll happen if he does.

With a prothean apocalypse riding shotgun in his head, maybe that fear is justified.

Because you took the hit for my mistake, and you’re still paying for it.

“Bad tonight, huh?”

“I’m fine.”

Kaidan holds up the jar of instant coffee. “Wanna try that again?”

Heyy could I possibly request f!OC x Mark, in which the OC is Red Rush’s daughter who also inherited his powers. Set before the events of episode one maybe at a Guardian’s work party or smth. Mark and OC are hitting it off in a ‘Idk what’s going on my dad just works here’ solidarity during the party; while her doting and protective father Josef is keeping an eye on them, unsure about how he feels about his favorite sidekick growing up on him. Maybe Olga and Debbie try to be matchmakers too lol

A/N: okay well this is CUTE AF, I love this sm thank u for requesting <3 also josef and olga are married here, no one dies (yet) and everyone is happy!!!

Pairing: Mark Grayson x Fem!OC

Rating: T

Warnings: mild swearing

The annual Guardians of the Globe Founder's Day party was never really Zasha's scene. It mainly consisted of the Guardians and the Global Defense Agency's families, and more often than not, she was the only one in her age group. Her true purpose there was to really just pay her respects to the people — including her father, who people knew as Red Rush — who protected the planet.

This year's Founder's Day event was different, however, as Omni-Man finally accepted the party invitations he'd been ignoring for years. Although there were jokes that he had accidentally RSVP'd to the party, or that his wife had accepted the invite behind his back, everyone seemed happy, and still pleasantly surprised, when he and his family walked in.

Sitting down with a non-alcoholic beverage in her hand, she watched as everyone shook hands with the powerful Nolan Grayson and his loving family. Zasha's mom, Olga, walked over to say hello and immediately dragged the three to where Zasha and Josef were. The two male superheroes first exchanged pleasantries, followed by Olga forcing her daughter to get up so she can properly be introduced to the teenage boy standing across from her.

"Zasha, hi," Debbie said with a wide smile as she gave you a warm hug. "This is my son, Mark. I don't think you two have properly met yet."

He extended his arm, "Oh, hi, uh, I'm Mark," he replied with a sheepish smile.

"Hi, I'm Z," she said as Olga gave her a soft push to move her forward. The young girl's eyes threw daggers at her mom before politely shaking his hand, "Nice to meet you."

"Are you all hungry? They've got a lot of food," Olga told the Graysons, leading them and Josef, who squinted his eyes at Zasha and Mark, over to the buffet table.

Zasha and Mark looked at each other awkwardly and exchanged nervous smiles. He began to rock back and forth on his feet, shoving his hands into his pockets as he attempted to think of what to say.

"So uh, how's... superhero training?" he asked.

"Uh, good," Zasha answered, nodding her head. "We managed to take down Titan yesterday so that was pretty cool."

"Oh yeah? That's great," Mark exclaimed. "How about, um..." he scratched the back of his head, "Is the, i-is the drink... good?"

She looked down at her cup and clicked her tongue, "You know for a party that's sponsored by the government, you'd think they'd have better catering."

He chuckled, "If I knew this was going to be a boring party with adults and toddlers and no good food, I would have at least brought a snack and some comic books."

Zasha sat back down and looked up at him with a smile, "Well you better take a seat, buddy, because the next few hours are going to make you wish you were being hurled at buildings instead."

She gently patted the seat next to her and Mark accepted the offer. "Do you go to these things a lot?" he asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Zasha replied. "You are so damn lucky your dad never wants to come to a Guardians event."

Mark laughed, "You know what, I used to be really jealous of all the families who got together during these events but right now, I'd do anything to just go home." He looked around and sighed, "I don't even know most of these people."

"Me too, and I've seen their faces at least thrice a year ever since I could remember," she agreed. "Actually, I think this is the first solid conversation I've had with someone at these things."

"Really?" he asked in shock.

"Really," she answered, taking a sip of the bland orange juice that now mostly tastes like water. "Most of the guys who are my age that have attended aren't really cute, nor are they interesting, so meh."

Mark's head snapped up at that remark and he felt the warmth rush up to his cheeks. "The other guys aren’t... cute and not... interesting?"

"Hell no," Zasha laughed. "Have you ever tried connecting with a person who has no special abilities but know you're a superhero? It feels like talking to a wall."

He crossed his brows, "What do you mean?"

She sighed and leaned forward, "They usually ask me what being a superhero is like, but when I tell them that I managed to take down a man with rock for skin, it's like I'm a freak."

"You're not a freak, Zasha," he replied. "And any guy who feels that way about a girl who's trying to save others sounds like a shitty person."

"And they're not even cute!" she added.

"And they're not even cute," he repeated after her with a laugh.

Zasha sighed again and sat back up. She looked over at him and briefly examined his face, "Well it's a good thing you are."

Josef turned around and watched as the 17-year-old boy chatted up his daughter, as well as literally take his seat at the table.

He held on to Olga's arm and leaned in, "I don't like what I'm seeing over there."

Olga turned to look then laughed at her overbearing husband. "They're just talking, Josef," she said. "It's not Zasha's fault she can enjoy a pleasant conversation and you can't."

"Mm..." Josef groaned, "I don't like it."

"Don't like what?" Debbie asked from behind.

Olga walked over to her and excitingly yet subtly pointed at Zasha and Mark, who were now facing each other now laughing. "Josef's worried that Zasha won't have time to be his daughter anymore if she ever started dating boys," she explained to Debbie. "You know he scares off every single boy Zasha introduces to us? I'm worried she'll never have a boyfriend!"

"She doesn't need a boyfriend, Olga," Josef chimed in grumpily, crossing his arms as he watched the two like a hawk. "No one will be good enough for Zasha anyway. She can literally outrun all the boys she dates."

"So are you saying that my Mark isn't good enough for Zasha?" Debbie asked with half a smile, momentarily shutting Josef up before he nervously tried to form a sentence. "I'm just teasing, Josef," she followed, winking at him and almost warning him not to underestimate her son.

Olga chuckled, "It's good for them to bond. They're both teenagers and superheroes, if they ever date at least they won't have to worry about keeping secrets."

"Whoa, wait," Josef exclaimed. "They just met, who said anything about dating?"

His wife rolled her eyes at his remark. "We should, what's the term... hook them up," Olga said. "Debbie, ask Mark what's going on and I'll ask Zasha."

Debbie agreed to the plan and walked over to Mark and Zasha while Josef huffed in annoyance but stayed in his position; there was no way in hell he was going to keep his eyes off of them.

Debbie offered Mark some food from her plate but he kindly declined. "Good choice," she said. "For a party paid for by the government, you'd think they'd have better food."

Mark laughed and nodded in agreement, "That's what Z said!"

"Oh really?" Debbie replied with a playful smirk.

Mark and Zasha looked at each other as if they were sharing an inside joke before Olga called her daughter over.

"Sorry, mama is calling me," she told the Graysons as she excused herself.

"So..." Debbie trailed off, raising her eyebrow at her son whose cheeks were rosy red.

"Mom, please don't make it weird," Mark begged.

"You and Zasha seem to be hitting it off."

"I begged you not to make it weird," he groaned, covering his face.

"I was just asking!" Debbie said with a giggle. "Why are you being so offensive?"

"I'm not, mom, I'm just... ugh," he groaned again. "Please don't say anything to Josef and Olga. Don't make it weird."

"I won't, I won't," Debbie reassured him. "Are you gonna ask her out though?"

"Mom!"

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving," she said with a hearty laugh, nodding at Zasha who was walking back to her seat.

"Sorry about that, my mom was being strange," Zasha said. "Everything okay?" she asked Mark, who now looked like he'd been slapped over and over again.

"Yeah, yeah! Great! Everything's great!"

She smiled at him but Mark leaned over and kept his head down. Another moment of awkward silence fell upon the two; Zasha looked around while tapping her toes and Mark's sight was glued to the floor. From the corner of his eye, he could see his mom and Olga delicately signalling at him to make his move. He covered the sides of his face and continuously mouthed "No," but the two were unrelenting. He took a deep breath and finally sat back up, and looked over at Zasha who was still pretending to casually look around.

"Hey, uh, Z?"

She quickly looked over at him with wide eyes, "Yes?"

Mark looked behind her head and watched as Olga and Debbie were giggling and whispering to each other, like a bunch of high school girls who just saw their best friend talking to their crush.

"Uh, I'm hungry."

The smile on Zasha's face was quickly replaced with a look of confusion. "Okay... and?"

"Oh! Um," he cleared his throat, "do you... like burgers?"

Zasha giggled and nodded, "I do like burgers."

Controlling his urge to fist pump, Mark cheekily bit his lower lip and moved a little closer, "You wanna head out and grab a bite?"

"Uh..." she turned around and watched as Olga and Debbie quickly nodded their heads, her mom giving her a sign of approval to leave the party. "Sure, I'm starving."

Josef looked on as the two of them stood up and began to make their way to the exit. Sighing in defeat and sadness, he called them over to the place where he's been stationed at since the Graysons arrived.

"Papa, we're just gonna get something to eat," she informed him nervously, knowing his scare tactics when it came to the guys she introduced him to.

Josef's eyes softened as the sight of his little girl, who he knew and finally accepted was growing up. She was making her way into the world and as much as he wanted to always protect her, he knew that she was just as smart and as capable to start doing it herself.

He took his daughter's hand and held it tight, "Okay, call me if you need a ride home."

"I will," Zasha said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Love you, papa."

"I love you too," he replied with a smile that was immediately erased when he focused his attention to Mark. "Bring her home by 11:30, and no sneaking into her room by the window," he ordered the teenage boy sternly.

Caught by surprise by the sudden formality, Mark straightened his back and nodded. "Uh yes, y-yes sir, Red Rush, sir."

"Papa!" she exclaimed. "No more scare tactics."

"I'm sorry," he chuckled, "that was the last one, I promise."

ME/Shakarian Fic WIP

Just a small pieces of something I'm tinkering with. Considering posting it on ao3 in a few days... if the feedback here is good.

ME/Shakarian - Untitled:

“Be careful, Garrus! You could tear that ligament!” Michel snapped at him.

Nodding, he limped out into the heart of the upper market and caught up to Shepard when he saw her. His subvocals were buzzing all over the place with all the things he wanted to say when he finally drew her attention softly. “Hey…”

“Oh… hey. I didn’t think the doctor was done with you yet,” Shepard said as she stepped up to the rapid transit console.

“Yeah... she was just finishing up when you... raced out the door.” He allowed a faint purr to escape then.

“I didn’t race out the door.” Shepard smiled and glanced up at him. “I just… I think I need a drink after all this.”

Opportunity knocks, Vakarain. Don’t ignore it. He nodded thoughtfully. “Do you… uh… would you maybe…?” the words were right there and he couldn’t spit them out.

“Come on, let’s have a drink.” Shepard’s smile changed slightly. One corner of her mouth pulled upward a little higher than the other and she keyed in a call for the cab.

“Took the words right out of my mouth,” he murmured with some relief.

“Thought so,” she said smugly and climbed into the cab when the doors opened.

Garrus rode along silently, nervously picking at the flex-mesh between his thumb and forefinger. He didn’t know exactly what to say to her or even what he expected to happen. She seemed content to just sit next to him and relax. He thought once she might have dozed off.

Flux or Chora’s Den were one of the destinations he’d expected them to arrive at. He never expected the cab to drop them off outside C-Sec and the two lifts that lead to very different locations. He followed her toward the lift leading to the docking bay. She glanced up at him once and he realized she had noticed the thoughtful frown.

“My apartment is… was... on Tayseri Ward. The wreckage from Sovereign destroyed most of the ward,” she enlightened him.

“Oh, crap… I’m sorry, Shepard.” Garrus said reflexively. There really wasn’t much comfort he could offer her in light of the loss of her home.

“It’s ok. I have the Normandy and my quarters here. It’s nothing extravagant, but you’re welcome to come in.” She huffed a faint laugh as she led him through the ship.

When they reached the mess hall level, he took note of where exactly she was leading him. There was a little offshoot to the left and a door tucked into the cubby. He’d noticed it more than once, but he’d always thought it was just a maintenance access. Now she led him inside and he hummed in appreciation. It wasn’t huge, but it was quite a bit bigger than the crew bunks. There was room for a full sized bed, a small sitting area and a desk with a personal terminal.

Garrus glanced around curiously as he stopped near the table in the middle of the larger space. Shepard smiled and headed toward a small crate tucked under the desk. She brought out a bottle and a couple of glasses a moment later. He cocked his head slightly to the side when she set them down on the table before she took a seat.

“Shepard… I… uh… I can’t drink that,” Garrus stammered as he took a seat himself.

“Sure you can. It’s dual chirality.” She huffed another faint laugh and poured out two glasses. The look on his face must have spoken volumes for the confused thoughts rolling through his mind. She openly laughed then and pushed a glass toward him. “This was a gift from Anderson. He said I needed to keep some dual chirality around for the dextros I’d picked up. Never know when one of them might need a drink.”

Garrus allowed a faint laugh to escape then and nodded as he picked up the glass. “I guess he was right.”

“So you wanna tell me what’s on your mind, Garrus?” Shepard asked abruptly, but not unkindly after he’d taken a sip of his drink.

“I… uh…” he stammered and set the glass down to wrap his hands around it. Looking down into the depths of that glass, he hummed softly, “Is it that obvious?”

“Like an elephant in a closet.” Shepard breathed, but there was humor in her words.

“I… don’t know… what that is.” Garrus admitted, but didn’t look up at her.

“Here…” Shepard said and pulled up an image on her omni-tool. She showed him with a growing smile as his eyes widened at the creature.

“Spirits! That’s an elephant?” he gasped out in shock at the human male standing beside a gray animal nearly two and a half times as tall and as big as a shuttle.

Nagito Komaeda ; I feel like Nagito might have a complex relationship with relationships, he’s probably somewhere on the arospec and is also far too busy to think about other romantic stuff ( 🌶 ), but I don’t think he’s on the ace spectrum. Probably aroqueer ?? 👀

Teruteru Hanamura ; This dude is panromantic / pansexual, he doesn’t really mind the gender or sex of his partner and can appreciate the appeal of almost everyone, pretty unapologetic about it too, obviously. It took him awhile to figure it out, but hey, here he is. 💅🏻

Nekomaru Nidai ; Straight but a huge ally, protector of the lesbians. He seems like the kind of guy that you’d want to come out to first, he’d be encouraging and supportive, definitely a safe space for any of the queers. 💕

Kazuichi Soda ; That man is a raging bisexual ( with a femme lean ) that hasn’t put the pieces together yet. He knows he’s attracted to women, it probably takes up a good chunk of his mind besides mechanical work and hyping his friends up, but like yeah, he’s definitely seen men that make him go ‘Awooga’, but he thinks it’s because “I wanna be them, right ?? Right ??” ✨

Gundham Tanaka ; AROACE GUNDHAM HAS MY HEART, THERE IS NO TRUE REASONING BEHIND IT, IT’S JUST THAT HE RADIATES THE ENERGY. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, OKAY ?? PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME. /LH !! ✨

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu ; Straight, hopelessly in love with Peko, probably hasn’t thought of any other girls, she has his heart, but listen, I also see him, as rat bastard - y as he might seem, he definitely would be a super devoted boyfriend / husband, a true ride or die. 💕

Imposter / Twogami ; Nobody truly knows what they are, I feel like it fluctuates, given whoever they’re impersonating - but if we want to be specific, that would make them panromantic / pansexual in my book. 👀

Chiaki Nanami ; She was probably straight irl, but when her AI was formed through Chihiro, not much thought was put into the romance aspect. She’s a computer system, and while she is so capable of giving love and affection, she’s probably AroAce. She knows her purpose, and it’s not romance or relationships. 🥂

Akane Owari ; Straight, but probably scares weaker men off. Literally doesn’t know why, but she is definitely intense. It would take a strong dude to put up with her. ✨

Ibuki Mioda ; Probably also panromantic / pansexual, she doesn’t think gender or sex really matters in a relationship. If anything, she just wants someone that’s willing to have as much fun as she wants to, but she probably doesn’t put a lot of importance in romantic relationships, and might not even find monogamy appealing. 💅🏻

Mahiru Koizumi ; She definitely thinks she’s straight, but listen, what she’s looking for in a relationship could easily be found in a strong, independent girl. If anything, guys play with her feelings too much, she just has to have that biromantic / bisexual epiphany, and needs to let go of that mindset of “Boys do this, and girls do that”. 🥂

Peko Pekoyama ; Definitely Demiromantic / Demisexual. I see her putting her work first, not realizing how fulfilled she’d be emotionally if she ever let her guard down and just realized that she could have those kinds of relations, especially since Fuyuhiko is kind of just lurking around her. 💕

Mikan Tsumiki ; Probably Demiromantic / Homosexual !! It takes awhile for Mikan to open up to people and she wants to know that she can trust her girlfriend before entering a relationship with her, she’s normally okay with casual hookups, and leaves quickly after, but she is a super loving and attentive girlfriend when in a serious relationship !! 💕

Hiyoko Saionji ; Homophobic Homoromantic / Homosexual. I see her as the girl that really projects her internalized homophobia onto others, and grew up hearing homophobic stuff, so it’s kind of instilled in her mind that “gay = bad”, but seriously, she does like girls, she just feels like she’s not supposed to and really hates it, since she is a girl herself. 👀

Sonia Nevermind ; She probably identifies as pan / bi, but won’t admit that she’s a raging lesbian for a super long time. She’s probably always known that she liked girls, but she has always seen princesses and princes getting married, so she feels like that’s what’s expected of her. Would definitely date guys, but probably doesn’t feel fulfilled unless she’s dating a woman. 💅🏻
