Hi! So! Remember Spider? Yeah? Did you know he’s… not my only… Yuu… OC…

Fox! Fox Peterson! What a dude! Uh! Yeah!

Yeah! So them and spider grew up together, and despite being pretty different in most things they’re practically inseparable. They met when they were both around 7-ish because they lived in the same neighborhood, eventually Fox moved to a different state but they kept in touch and never drifted apart. They got isekai’d into Twst on the same day once when Fox was visiting. Fox had come down to where spider lived because a band they both liked was playing a concert in the area, and the carriages came when they’d gotten split up before the show started. It took them a while to find each other in tw but once they did they made a promise that when they finally got out of tw, they’d see that band in concert someday

.

They have a lot of pets! Idk if I’ve mentioned this but Spider has a gray cat named Smoke in his homeland, and a tarantula named Willow that he has in tw and keeps in his dorm. Fox has three dogs and two cats in their homeland, the dogs are Solar (Golden Retriever), Cielo (German Shepard), and Wisp (Husky), and the cats are Sophie (Russian blue) and Howl (Himalayan)

Fox joined the fencing club at Royal sword academy as they’ve always had an interest in sword fighting and similar things, they have a small sword collection in their homeland.

Fox is trilingual, they speak English, Spanish, and Japanese. They speak a little bit of French but isn’t fluent

They befriended neige fairly quickly, as well as a few of my rsa OCs, namely Dove (twisted from prince Florian) and Elis (twisted from Alice.) Jasper (Jasmine) takes a liking to Fox fairly quickly, but Jasper has a tendency to take a liking to everybody and has gotten into some bullshit bcuz of it, so his vice housewarden is a bit (VERY) protective of who he hangs around with. Che’nya likes messing with Fox cuz he knows they’re too nice to bite back.

Speaking of that, generally Fox is too nice to bite back. They’re extremely logical, calm, and collected in any given situation, which is one of the reasons they work well with Spider, given that Spider has a very short temper and tends to blow a fuse at a lot of things, so Fox can always mediate. There are very few occasions where Fox would ever raise their voice, they always try to be a voice of reason in every situation.

Fox is an ENFJ, which is almost the complete opposite of Spider’s INTP. Also, in the subtlest of Nice moments I could possibly add, Fox’s birthday is exactly 69 days after Spider’s birthday.

I have a third Twst OC who isn’t a Yuu, but he’s an NRC student that spider and Fox befriend, making my main Twst OC trio. Also that oc’s birthday is 69 days BEFORE spider’s birthday (so his is April 7th). Can you tell I’m bad at coming up w birthdays 😔 anyway third little shit is Calliope Mavros (he/she/they), they’re twisted from the hydra from Hercules. Theyre Ignihyde’s sole jock

Floyd’s nickname for them is Garibaldi, which is this funky guy. He calls them any variation of it, but usually “Gari-chan” or “Lil’ Garibaldi.” Unlike Spider, Fox loves their Floyd-chosen name and actually has a little garibaldi plushie that they sewed because of it. Spider is jsut salty he didn’t get called a shark and is instead stuck as Little Koifishie lmao (also shoutout to person from discord server for coming up w Garibaldi for them I could not figure out a good Floyd name for them)

Rook had a hard time coming up with a nickname for Fox bcuz there’s rlly no gender nuetral anything in French so monsieur doesn’t have a neutral equivalent, he ended up just landing on maître des lames, which, if google translate isn’t failing me, is Master of blades.

Also their dynamic with Jade is very silly!!! I shall ramble about them for a moment. Spider works at mostro lounge so Fox and Calliope were chilling there one day, and it was one of Fox’s first times at NRC, and their first time at Octavinelle. Spider warned them to steer clear of the leech twins, but Fox is one of those ppl that can literally make friends with anyone so they often don’t heed such warnings. Spider had to go do some work and told Calliope to make sure Azul n the twins don’t rope Fox into anything. Fox is a bit gullible, but they’re still logical, so Calliope didn’t think it would be a massive deal for her to leave Fox unattended. It’s not like they’re a child. So Calliope went to grab some stuff from his dorm that they’d forgotten, leaving Fox alone. Didn’t take long for Floyd to sniff out the fresh meat, and Floyd was already messing with them from the bat. But Fox wasn’t getting annoyed by his attempts at getting under their skin, they were just doing their thing of being way entirely too nice. Now, Fox is also a big fan of mushrooms, and Floyd noticed the fact they were wearing mushroom earrings and he somehow verbally rolled his eyes, groaning abt how he didn’t need more mushroom lunatics in his life. As if summoned by some godly force, Jade materialized behind Floyd and complimented Fox’s earrings, to which the two began discussing mushrooms and Floyd immediately left the room, groaning as loud as he possibly could. And through the power of fungi and mostro discounts Jade managed to accidentally win over this idiot, then he ends up falling head first soon enough

Thanks for dealing with my rambling

[ramblinganthropologist]

Do you have any ocs besides Al and his sister? I would love to know about all of them!

... *looks over to closet door stuffed with OCs* maybe.

A lot of them are dragon age, such as the Origins trio Cahel Mahariel, Cherche Mahariel (belongs to reallyfuckinggay), and Miris Tabris. Then there's the 2 Duo, Avery Hawke and Moses Hawke (belongs to reallyfuckinggay). Finally there's the Inquisition 7 which include Kaaras Lavellan-Adaar, Akri Lavellan-Adaar, Jackel Lavellan (belongs to reallyfuckinggay), Hissra (reallyfuckinggay), Aeronwen Trevelyan, Ian Trevelyan, and Owain Trevelyan.

And that's just my canon run. Non canon Shepards include MK Shepard, Calliope Shepard, and Jacob Shepard. I have non canon Wardens (Rose Cousland, Vonnar Brosca, Zara Aeducan) too. I also have a Solavellan kid named Conan Lavellan-Aclassi and an eventual DA4 character named Isana Stonebreaker.

If you wanna know about any of my kids, just let me know!

Self care is stored in making my Shepard the son of Ashkenazi/Irish parents and making him a fan of classic rock

It’s also stored in me giving him several found family tropes (being adopted AND other forms) and he has intense complicated emotions about being Jewish and being raised in both the drell and asari faiths

Yes I also gave him my own trauma and gender feelings, why do you ask? And no this one isn’t blonde...yet. And he’s 3 inches taller than me.

HI NEW FOLLOWERS

It’s been a long time since I did one of these, and there are even more of you now, so:

Hi, I’m Tara. Professionally, I’m a writer and editor. I’m in my 30s, I’m married, I’m Canadian but have lived all over the world, I identify as demisexual (and what a relief it was to realize there was a term for it!). I’m working on a bunch of original writing; I talk about it occasionally. I’ve been on tumblr for five years? Six? Seven? I don’t even remember, and I deleted my very first post so tumblr doesn’t actually send me those happy tumblr birthday emails anymore. Wah.

Things you’ll see on this blog: a lot of Mass Effect, especially FemShep/Garrus, although I reblog other ME-related stuff, too. You’ll also see quite a lot of Dragon Age. I occasionally rec things, usually fic, and usually ME or DA, if you want something other than my stuff to read.

I really love Iceland (other places, too, but I really love Iceland), and tea, and pretty dresses, and rain, foxes and writing. I loved the new Wonder Woman. I’m playing Horizon Zero Dawn right now and I loving that, too. A few times a year, I disappear to Florida to visit @w0rdinista (partly because she is my best friend 5 ever, and partly because we’re working on one of those aforementioned original fic projects together). I do post personal stuff occasionally. I am wildly averse to spoilers and a TAGGER OF ALL THINGS, so if you want something specific tagged specifically, hit my up askbox.

Tumblr is my happy fannish space: you won’t see a lot of negativity here and you’ll never see character hate (though you may see character discussion).

My fic (Mass Effect and Dragon Age) can be found on AO3, or in my fic tag here on tumblr. Most of the Mass Effect fic I write is about the same Shepard and Garrus, and you can find a roughly-chronological accounting of their story on my blog’s sidebar. (For the most part all my stories will stand alone, but you’ll have more context if you read everything, since occasionally I’ll refer to events that happened in other fics.) I’m in the middle of writing a post-Destroy epic called A Handful of Dust; it’s not updating as fast as it was because complicated stories being complicated, but I’m an obsessive finisher of things, so I promise you’ll never be left with an abandoned, unfinished WIP. My other major WIPs are Any Four Walls (post-game Shepard and Garrus as parents of adopted OCs Rose and Tyrra whom I LOVE MORE THAN LIFE) and Unshaken by the Darkness (about Cullen’s life from A-Z, which I will get back to eventually). I do have a Ryder, Cal (Calliope), but there’s no fic about her (yet?).

For dash-management purposes, I can’t follow everyone who follows me (and I basically can’t follow anyone who doesn’t use tags!), but I am always happy to interact with people, even if we’re not mutuals (via ask or via tarysande@gmail). Please, feel free to introduce yourself at any time. (And blanket apology: if I don’t reply to an ask, it’s not you, it’s me. I love getting them. I don’t always reply in good time.) 

People have occasionally asked if they can do fanwork of my work. After the blushing stops, the answer is always yes. Just make sure to point me at it so I can shriek with appropriate appreciation :D I’ve also had a few people ask if I have Patreon or Ko-Fi. I have both, and appreciate every little bit, but please don’t feel like you have to support me in that way.

Last but not least, if you need to unfollow me for any reason, please don’t hesitate. I have an open door policy around here, so come and go as you please without letting tumblr-anxiety get you down. <3
