Smutober Day Two! Ft. Hawke Shepard x Kaidan Alenko

Hawke made an appearance last year cause she's too pretty but her tattoos are brutal, and took like half the time of this whole piece.

Find the full versions (here) & (here).

Full piece contains full nudity/sex.

my worldstate for if hawke gets left behind depends entirely on if bioware does something interesting with it. i sacrificed stroud but if the fade martyr does have relevance in the game we are now being told will deal heavily with defending the veil, good on them/i’ll eat my words, cause i was genuinely skeptical anything would come of the hlta decision. and if it’s juicier for hawke to be that person in retrospect, that’s awesome and i’m glad the theories were right. normally i would just live with my choices if stroud is the more boring option and deal with the consequences, but i really don’t feel guilty at the prospect of maybe retconning this one specifically considering the behind-the-scenes decision was because bw wanted specifically to have the player make a hard emotional choice in hlta, not cause it fit the story or characters, and that rationale for game-crafting will always bug me.

I need to interact with people who likes - Vampire Academy - Dragon Age - Mass Effect

[never-shouldve-come-here]

Have we considered. Kaidan taking the LDBs last name and being rlly happy about cause he went so long not knowing who he is and now it really feels like he’s truly got an identity and a family

I fucking LOVE that trope.

"Another snippet?" you ask? Why yes, because I also worked on the next chapter of The Long Road yesterday for the first time in like five months.

“EDI,” Nick said, “what’s our ETA to Lesuss?” “ETA is twenty-five hours,” came the prompt reply. “Have we heard from Samara?” “There has been no correspondence from the justicar, Shepard.” “Thank you, EDI, that was all. Shepard out.” She turned her attention back to Kaidan. “So, we have roughly a day. I hope that Samara gets back to me before that. I’d sent her an inquiry as soon as I got the mission brief from Thessia. Either way, I wanted to give you a heads-up.” She snagged his mug and sniffed at it, debating whether to steal a swallow or not. She lowered her voice, “You coming up for dinner later on?”  The corner of Kaidan’s mouth twitched. “I think I can do that.” “Yeah?” She propped her chin on her hands. “Mhm. Just dinner? Or did you accumulate a report backlog again and need help slogging through it?” He smirked at her. Nick rolled her eyes at him, bumping her elbow against his. “That was one time. It’s not a backlog yet but I guess you could help me stay on top of things? I’ll make it up to you.” “Are you propositioning me, Captain?” Kaidan purred. “I might be,” Nick replied nonchalantly. “Is it working?” “It might be.”

Okay, so years after its release I finished DAI, but tbh I only ever played it to see Hawke and hear what the world had to say about him and my warden. ok, also to meet the new companions personally

I did not enjoy it very much (don't want to say hated it because it had some fun bits), despised combat so much I chose to skip it altogether by using a cheat to instantly kill all hostiles, because dammit I just wanted to see the story for myself and the casual mode was not casual enough for me. No, I'm not going to rant about that game, that's not the point.

Even if it was not as emotionally engrossing as the previous 2 games, it still fucked me up. These last few days I spent trying to come to terms with it.

That Hawke was the one to stay in the Fade is a given for me now, because the story simply doesn't work otherwise. Yesterday I was thinking about how much I'd love to see Fenris and Carver working together, possibly somehow going into the Fade themselves to get Hawke out.

Then my stupid brain proposed to make it so only one of the three of them could get out (don't care about the details, those are basic concepts), and of course it had to be Carver, because we must protect him at all costs, and Fenris would choose to stay with Hawke no matter what where and when anyway. They would never be parted again, and i don't really understand how the Fade works, but maybe they could actually settle there? ascend to another plane of existence together, and how the hell do beings of flesh manage in the realm of spirits? And how do they die there and what happens to the bodies and aren't souls of the dead supposed to go to the Fade or something? I am so not good at processing Lore...

And then I thought to myself, what the hell, aren't I a pro at bending canon to my will? I overwrote the Mass effect universe to have Shepard, Kaidan and Ashley happily settle down as a throuple and my brain now accepts it as canon and nothing else matters.

Then why can't I overwrite the tiny relevant plot of Inquisition, and simply have Hawke and Fenris appear there together and work as a battle couple and solve the problems together like they're supposed to? Don't need to account for other variables and worry about fitting any technicalities.

I can make it happen.

[DAY 22] 31 Days of DA: Favorite Inquisition Romance - Blackwall

Why Blackwall?

I remember the eyebrow wiggling and giggling on the forums when Blackwall was first announced as a companion: "His beeeeeard!" IIRC, he was the first romanceable character with a beard, and we were collectively here for it!

On a more serious note, I personally liked that he wasn't a man of many words, but you always knew exactly where you stood with him.

Inquisitor: "Make sure you save at least one dance for me." Blackwall: "All of them."

I actually loved the plot twist for Blackwall's character arc. Don't get me wrong, I was shocked. I had to process it just like anyone else, but I was exhilarated that they took a big risk with the writing, how his personal revelation dovetailed with the overall masquerade theme. It was a big gamble for the writers because feelings were going to get hurt, but they executed it very well. I definitely respected that.

Adversity can make or break a relationship, and I liked that Blackwall and the Inquisitor got tested and were stronger for it. It reminded me of Shepard and Kaidan (or Ashley, if you will) being on opposite sides in Mass Effect 2 and you could choose to fight for the relationship or cut your losses. Same thing with Alistair walking out at Landsmeet. (Until they finally announced that Hawke, not the Warden, would be the new protagonist in the next game, I had hoped to run into Alistair again to make amends with him, but alas.) So, this whole story arc with Blackwall ended up scratching a narrative itch that I didn't know was there.

How to: Rate your OCs based on how they handle cuddling/being cuddled.

well let's see

Jacen Shepard: 10/10 loves cuddling, loves to be cuddled- out here being a 6'4" golden retriever little spoon anytime someone halfway offers, gives the best good hugs and big guy that he is, is always *very careful* of his strength when he's snuggling Tali but loves when Kaidan nearly cracks his ribs for him, heh.

Scout Shepard: is about a 5/10, she finds it a little undignified but is always willing to offer a cuddle to a friend and discovers she does quite like that Garrus is taller than she is, if a bit spindly, and does a good full body wrap when required Aedan Shepard: hmm. from a 1/10 to a 6/10 over the course of her story. She's just...not *used* to it, doesn't really get it, certainly will fold herself into a pocket of non-existence if one of her hookups tries. Has never offered a hug in her life. Gerte figures out that she's a little like a feral cat; feed her and she might lean against your shinbones before skittering off. Manages to work up to shoulder pats. Kaidan's the one who really breaks down the wall- mostly with his post-migraine need to touch and once she gets that it's acceptable- she's even willing to be the big spoon once in a while Aeryn Hawke (proper kirkwall version) 8/10 will big sister hug anyone who sits still long enough. She and Fenris have a toe tap system but she will be in anyone else's lap in a heartbeat, given time and opportunity. tagging... @threewhiskeylunch @keriweird @faejilly @laelior @nightmarestudio606

Finally started playing ME Andromeda, I’m about thirty hours in (so no spoilers!), and…it’s kind of lovely? I get the sense from the fanbase that it’s pretty hated but I’m kind of liking it. First impressions:

It’s very much like if Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Inquisition had an adorable baby. Is that why people don’t like it? Because it’s so much less hoo-rah military?

I also heard no one likes the Frostbite graphics but they don’t bother me? The asari are a little cutesy, but everything else is gorgeous.

I do miss Shepard and the crew, tbh. Love the Liara cameos. Will always want more of Kaidan and Joker and Tali and Vega and everyone.

Do like the new crew, especially their interactions with each other. Hardcore shipping Drack/Lexi. And the Drack-Vetra friendship is really sweet.

I just met Reyes and hooooooo boy. Scott’s been flirting with Gil but he’s suddenly falling hard for Reyes—sorry Gil, don’t hate me forever.

Also Gil just go kiss Kallo already, ugh.

Also also (because Reyes’ voice actor is also male Hawke’s voice actor) my new Dragon Age II headcanon is: after Hawke meets Zevran and does his quest, he will only speak to Isabela in Zevran’s accent for the next six months. She hates it but finds it weirdly sexy. (Much how I am reacting to Reyes’ voice.)

Did the Nexus really not carry a QEC to talk to the Citadel? They traveled to a different galaxy and didn’t think, hey, we have tech that’ll let us say “yo descendants we just woke up!”?

Exaltation is a sufficiently creepy plot point, right up there with indoctrination and Reaper liquidation.

I miss quarians.

I do not miss missions. The open world style is my jam, I love the viability/colonization aspect, love the way this game does side quests.

I find the concept of the exiles to be weird. You sign up for the Initiative, are deemed worthy of being sent ahead on the Nexus instead of an ark (so you’re presumably all in), and you flake out in less than a year because…it didn’t all go to plan? That part of the narrative’s kinda weak.

Though I just got the first part of the Jien Garson whodunit and I’m super invested already.

Really intrigued by the Remnant.

Andromeda does feel less high-stakes than the original trilogy, which is too bad. Sure you’re not dealing with galaxy-wide apocalypse, but survival in Heleus should feel a lot less Laura Ingalls Wilder and a lot more Oregon Trail.

Overall, I’m liking it. Less than halfway through so still plenty of time for it to go sour, but I’m intrigued.

My Shenkosummer2023 entry! I've drawn the lovely Hawke Shepard and Kaidan Alenko. I wanted to represent a brief moment between them during the final battle on Earth.

[ronqueesha]

For those who may be interested in the mountains of otherwise useless information I think about with my OCS, and inspired by the post I just reblogged, here are the bush stats on many of my characters:

Kallian Tabris - bald. I headcanon elves in thedas have no body hair except on their heads, she's never had any.

Sarah Hawke - bush that is barely maintained. It's quite wild.

Keeran Trevelyan - he goes back and forth. often shaves everything in anticipation of a sexy date, but he has also let it grow completely unkempt and also shaved it into artful designs from time to time.

Jane Shepard - bald during the games. I headcanon that the bodysuits under Alliance battle armor is skin tight and often catches against body hair. Every single alliance soldier character, Ashley, Kaidan, James, etc, are the same. Post-trilogy she has a well maintained red bush, as Liara finds it fascinating.

Zoe Iwasaki - small, artful bush. She paid for most of her body hair to be permanently removed, except for a small patch of hair in a landing strip pattern that requires very little maintenance.

Nathan Bhatia - another barely maintained bush. Nathan has never felt the need to do anything with his body hair except trim it once every few years when it gets completely out of control.

Dairon Garrick - well maintained bush. Not only does she like to keep something down there, she keeps it just as well kept as the hair on her head. Not just for date nights, but she sometimes gets in the mood to send extra spicy pictures to her gnomelyfans subscribers.

Iona - goes back and forth like Keeran. During her time as a sex worker, she often kept it bald for ease of cleanup. During the crusade, she had precious little time for such self care, and often let it grow unkempt.

Sarit Ramesh - bald. She had all of her body hair completely removed via a risky procedure she performed on herself. She would have removed the hair on her head as well, but kept it in order to blend in easier with crowds of people, and to hide the scars from the implant surgeries she performed on her brain. But most importantly, her naughty bits are as clean and bald as Kallian's.

OC Name Meaning

got tagged by @sillyliterature to do this! thank you <3

Rules: google and post the meaning of your OC'S name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.

this is gonna be long i have a LOT of children 🧍

Sarani Shepard: meaning protector, guardian or path (gotta be honest, i knew about the first two and it's why i chose the name, but the third is a surprise to me when i googled again for this). I already kinda HCed Sarani (who had a different placeholder name at the time) as being part Indian so I was intentionally finding an Indian name that would fit. her LIs call her Rani sometimes which means 'queen' and 'joyous song' and that second one feels especially fitting as she doesnt let anyone else use her first name, and she is very happy to have people she loves and trusts 🥺

Mars Shepard: my new child i just made last night whose face isnt done yet xD got the idea of using space names from @xoshepard (thank youuu <3) and I went with Mars because roman god of WAR and also gender fuckery 😌 she's gonna be romancing Kaidan!

Nayima Surana: means gentle, delicate, tenderness. this is kind of hilarious because while that's how she starts off being her experiences have hardened her a lot 😔 i dont have a pic for her im gonna remake her when (if) i ever get back to playing dragon age. also goes by Naya (renewal, fresh). we can say that shot of darkspawn blood renewwed her and freshened her up!

Riyaad Hawke: my canon hawke is garrett riyaad is a random dude the hawkes adopted dfjkghk. name means 'beautiful garden'. if you cant tell, i almost stole his name for myself xD

Bintang: 'bintang' is the Malay word for star

Arianwen Trevelyan: means silver, blessed. she's an andrastian and blessed made sense because of that, and her hair is like blue-silver so yeah (silver when she was born, darkening to blue, was the canon i made for her i believe)

Bronwen Trevelyan: similar meaning, fair/white and blessed. she's aria's twin so it made sense.

Veara Lavellan: my lavellan used to be Valora and pretty much just chaged her name for veara. the most i found on the internet is that it means 'special' lmao

anyways i do have more OCs around here somewhere but i'll stop there kjdfhgkd

no pressure tags: @mxanigel @xoshepard @poetikat @sweetmage @azurechicken @malabadspice @illusivesoul @westernlarch @menacingmetal <3 <3 <3

[caducityclay]

Julien Travelyan x Dorian (da:i) / Kaidan x Lucy Shepard (Mass effect)

Lauriel Mahariel x Morrigan (da:o) / Marise hawke x Isabela (da2)

Thank you @illusivesoul I'd love to see also your Brosca and Leliana 😍

3, 16 for the fic asks!!!!

Hi Rowan!!!! Thank you for the ask 💕 (From here)

3 - Do you like constructive criticism?

I'd say that on a published fic, I don't like unsolicited constructive criticism. If someone asks and has something they think would improve the piece, I'd be open to it. If it's from someone I know and trust, I’d always love to know what they have to say! But generally, I write for myself; if I'm looking for feedback, it's usually during the writing process, so I'll seek out a beta. I've shifted to working with betas for some exchange/event fic, and I really love the people I've worked with, even if the process scares me still, haha!

16 - How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

Too Many,,, a list:

modern au sebhawke (i'm finishing this up soon i hope!)

loghain/amell post-origins DISASTER TRIP to orlais

sdv alex and the farmer, growing up and finding new dreams

shepard and kaidan amnesia fic with a twist??

sebastian and templar hawke (they think they are fixing each other and they are not)

more envy demon smut (will this be a tradition??)

cullen/ashna sappy post-inq fic

life is strange tc ryan/riley post game (lonely people)

I think I would settle for finishing 3 of these, lol.
