I got my @masseffectholidaycheer gift in the mail this weekend and I am absolutely blown away. I received a beautiful card and a hand-bound copy of all of my Shakarian fanfiction from Quedarius (who harbinger has promised to tag because I cannot find your blog <3). After opening the package I immediately went and squealed to all of my friends and I still can't believe it. Thank you thank you thank you!! This is so special and I will treasure this forever.

P.S. I am a font nerd and this one is absolutely perfect.

P.P.S. "To be continued" was the motivation I needed to post the final chapter of that fic this week.

Thank you again!!!! I am amazed.

"You and I, we are important right now. This is what will never happen again. Us."

My gift for @jentrevellan this Harbinger Holiday season! Aster is an extremely cool Shepard and it was a pleasure to be able to draw her!

Piece is rotatable in any direction so you can change the narrative a bit :> Hope you like it!

Thank you @masseffectholidaycheer for running this event so smoothly!

A couple years back i was blessed to be the recipient of @thornaelle for @masseffectholidaycheer and this year i am finally able to return the joy that was given to me!

I was unbelievably excited to see you were my giftee this year!💕 and i knew immediately i had to do the dream team💕 and i got to draw Rani again after so long which was a joy! Once again. Virmire who?? Never heard of her.

I truly hope you like it🥺🥺💕💕 Happy Holidays my friend💕💕

[jentrevellan]

@queercraftingchonk Happiest of holidays from your secret santa for @masseffectholidaycheer Was super stoked to get a mutual <3

My gift for @natalyelle as part of the 10th annual @masseffectholidaycheer January Jubilation! Happy new year and I hope you like it! Having started my first playthrough romancing Thane just before our assignments went out, I was super pleased to find your Katarina Shepard also romanced him!

@masseffectholidaycheer for @mrjoeblue

I was super excited to get paired with a fellow FemShep x Liara shipper!! I love these two, and love drawing them. Lightly NSFW, but tasteful I think! (Hope?)

[thornaelle]

This year I bring January Jubilation and @masseffectholidaycheer to @pioneer-over-c! They said this scene was their favourite interaction between Shepard and Kaidan (sure, it's the same for all LIs but it just works so well for renegade leaning Shenko) and SAME so I knew I had to draw it.

I hope you like it and that I did Greye justice!

Happy Holidays @sheyshen !!!

Here's my gift to you for the @masseffectholidaycheer : your OC John and his lover Kaidan being in a Dual Mood, I experimented with brushes and I really hope you like the result (I wanted to draw a combo of them both, but sadly couldn't find the time :( ).

I hope you like your boys, and I wish you a great beginning of 2023 full of space adventures and wonder!! ✨

And thanks once more to the great Harbinger of our Doom for organizing this massive (and festive) event! 🎄

This was my first time participating in @masseffectholidaycheer and even though I’m disappointed that my gift was never posted, I still had fun making my gift and seeing what everyone else received.

Here’s what I made for my recipient:

I always knew I was going to do a cross stitch, and since my recipient specifically mentioned THAT tango, I knew that’s what I had to do. This was based off an image by @wei723.

I started working on it a couple days after Christmas. The day after I started, my eyes temporarily gave out on me. Turns out I had an allergic reaction to my new contacts. I stopped wearing them, but my eyes were so cloudy that everything was blurry for days. By the time things started to improve, and I could see well though to cross stitch, we were well into January. I put in several late evenings to get this finished by the deadline. It’s not my best framing job, but there was a time crunch.

I hope the recipient likes it, and I am excited to participate again later this year.

PS - My eyeballs made a full recovery and I have switched contact brands.
