WIP Sharing

So @dafan7711 tagged me so I thought I’d share a WIP. I’ve been chapter skipping on Reunited so this comes from Chapter 6: Can we not get almost kidnapped for once?

She moved over to her terminal, flexing her hands as she pulled up her messages. The first header that greeted her upon opening the program made ice slither down her spine. Teressa Jane, You’re Alive?? “Kelly, I’ll be up in my room until we reach Purgatory.” She didn’t wait for the other woman to reply before rushing into the elevator and almost slamming the button for her floor.

Shit, Atla just barely found out. Helix promised he wouldn’t tell Dad. How the hell did Mom find out so quickly?! Panic seeped through her body as she shot a message to her sister, asking-as politely as a panicking, older sister can-to meet her in her room. The door of the elevators was barely open before she was out and into the ungodly large room she slept in.

“EDI, privacy mode please and thank you.” She had half a mind to at least make sure EDI didn’t log the shitshow that was about to ensue.

“Logging you out, Shepard.” EDI’s reply was quick and to the point and Terri let herself collapse in her desk chair, finally opening the message in the private of her own room.

I’m excited to eventually be able to share this full chapter with everyone...as soon as I write the five chapters prior to it xD

Six Sentence Sunday

Totally didn’t notice @dafan7711​ tagged me in this until just now but hey, at least it’s still Sunday! Switching it up from Reunited (mainly cause I’ve only managed to log about 6 words on it), we’re gonna look at the re-write I’m working on of The Journal of Commander Shepard which will be covering the events of Mass Effect 1 from Terri’s perspective.

“Final new member of the squad is Garrus. He’s Turian and pretty damn nice to be around. I think we spent a solid two hours talking about the Mako. He’s got a nice voice...shit don’t let anyone hear me saying that, ‘specially my siblings. They’ll never let me live it down.” She blushed with a quiet chuckle.

This is essentially a re-write of the first chapter of what I have out on AO3 but also very much it’s own thing and honestly, this is my favorite line that I’ve written so far.

I’m gonna tag any of my writer friends who feel like sharing six sentences from whatever they’re currently working on!

WIP Wednesday

cough Thursday cause I got the notification while I was in bed last night xD.

Anyways! Thank you for the tag @dafan7711! I’m still working on Reunited’s first chapter so here’s a bit from it that I greatly enjoy!

“Shit,” she hissed, sending silent thanks to whoever decided to include shin plates with her armor. She took a few seconds to process the barricade before launching herself over it.

She moved forward, the door in front of her sliding open. Not paying attention to where she was walking, her shins connected with a barricade in front of the door.

Tagging anyone interested in sharing their WIPs! And I’m really looking forward to getting this story underway. Terri’s lining up to make it interesting for everyone!

🍄 and 🌼?

I’m gonna use Terri and Roni for this cause I can and I am very deep in the Mass Effect pit again. (Roni is a new Shepard that I’ve been developing and Terri is Terri)

🍄 What are your OCs favourite snacks? Their favourite comfort food which always cheers them up when they’re down? Favourite meal to make? Do they enjoy baking and cooking and are they any good in the kitchen?

Terri loves trail mix and always has some tucked away into a pouch on her uniform or hidden in a pocket on her undersuit. Her favorite comfort food is her dad’s scones that are filled with homemade strawberry jam, he’s made them for her when things are at their worst and she’ll occasionally make them on the Normandy after a rough mission or rough night. Her favorite meal to make is stuffed mushrooms and cheese stuffed chicken. She’s surprisingly good in the kitchen, having spent most of her teen years helping in her dad’s bakery. She’ll keep her skills hidden however, liking to surprise people with her baking and cooking skills.

Roni’s favorite snack and comfort food is Pumpkin Spice Cookies. She likes their softness and vibrant flavor. Her favorite meal is any pasta dish, she’s a glutton for carbs.  However, she cannot cook to save her life. She’s more likely to burn water than to make a successful meal.

🌼 Who are this characters friends and found family? How did they meet, how long have they been friends for, could they ever be something more than just friends? What do they look for in a friend or a romantic partner?

Terri’s friends and found family really didn’t come around until she became XO and then Commander of the Normandy. So her closest friends have known her for a few years by the end of ME3. However, she’s such an open person that it was quick for them all to become close. It is possible for her to find romantic relationship among her found family, she looks for someone who respects her but also knows when to keep her from doing something stupid. The person she found was Garrus. (Cause I will never not be a Shakarian shipper)

Roni’s found family took a while for her to find. Her first friend and the one person she considers her family for the longest time is Ashley. The two women met early in their Alliance careers. Despite Roni’s brash and rude personality the two quickly bonded and became close. During the time of the SR1 she became close friends with Wrex and Tali, even going so far to consider Tali her little sister. On the SR2 she became close with a lot of the crew who joined her, namely Garrus, Zaeed, Kasumi, Jack, Grunt, and Tali. Roni never really looked for any kind of romantic partner but she eventually found one in Jack. After the war she’s still really close to all her friends, whom she considers her family.

Some of my favorite Shakarian moments from my Mass Effect 3 playthrough.

I finished the game last night and already miss these two.

Rate Your OC’s Hugs Tag

Rules: For each of your OCs, rate how cuddleable they are on a scale of 1-10. Descriptions/elaborations are totally rad, but you do you, fam. Tag some people after!

Thanks for the tag @dafan7711! I’m gonna tag @vlastdaddy @vlastomoist @milky-masquerade @prettyboywrecked @dr-devoraak @jen-nic @ma-serannas-vhenan @heroofshield  @apprentice-grace and anyone else interested in doing this tag!

I’m gonna do Innisfree Lavellan, Talakai Adaar, Teressa Shepard, Brette Ryder, Kesi Revetta, Juniper Healy, and Harper Rose. Grabbing some people from each of my fandoms this time!

Innisfree Lavellan - 8

Innis gives some of the warmest hugs but because she’s so small they’re fairly bony but she makes a person feel loved in the span of the hug so she makes it up.

Talakai Adaar - 10

THE BIGGEST DAMN TEDDY BEAR YOU CAN MEET OH MY GOD. Her hugs just completely envelop a person in love and happiness. She’s also really soft and warm that you can just fall asleep in her arms.

Teressa Shepard - 4

Terri’s hugs are...awkward to put it politely. She really hasn’t done the whole “hugging” thing since she was 16 so she’s unsure how to really hug a person now.

Brette Ryder - 1

Despite her adorable appearance this girl does not give out hugs to anyone besides her loved ones and that honestly comes down to Breck and Jaal. Let her initiate any hugs.

Kesi Revetta - 6

Kesi gives decent hugs. Not the best, not the worst but good hugs. Her hair can and will get in your mouth if you are taller than her.

Juniper Healy - 4

Juni is kinda bony so her hugs hurt if you catch an elbow or something. Otherwise she doesn’t hug often. If she gives you a hug, savor it because she won’t give you another one anytime soon.

Harper Rose - 7

Harper gives some genuinely good hugs. They’re very warm and gentle. They just make you feel completely comfortable and loved. However beware the hair. It can and will get into both your mouth and their mouth and just annoy everyone involved.

[musically-magic]

Help me. I'm replaying Mass Effect 2 as Terri and cannot decide between having her romance Garrus again or romancing Thane.

HELP

[musically-magic]

Alright I’m a nerd and too far into Mass Effect to stop. HERE’S SOME TERESSA SHEPARD AND GARRUS VAKARIAN MOMENTS!

(to note these for pictures that look like they’re the same they aren’t. They’re from when I screwed up and played the Citadel DLC first then went back to pre-Citadel DLC and did some other quests. So same cutscene, different days and slightly different angles)

And that’s pretty much all of my Shakarian photos...I am addicted to these two.

Character Theme Song Tag

I’ve been toying with starting a tag so...why not! I haven’t seen this done yet...so here we go!

Rules: List your character(s) theme song and why you chose it or how it fits them! Don’t forget to tag a few people!

I’m gonna do all my characters who I’ve made playlists for.

Kesi Revetta: Lampshades on Fire by Modest Mouse, Lampshades on Fire gives off the vibe of being rowdy and stubborn which is Kesi’s biggest vibes and personality traits. Like she learns that maybe she shouldn’t do something but her stubbornness causes her to make her same mistakes.

Juniper Healy: Joy by Bastille, Juniper got Joy because how she can always find a reason to continue when those she cares for and love reach out to her and pull her out of any slump she’s in.

Iniko Revetta: Everlong by Foo Fighters, I picked Everlong for Iniko because when I do use him in The Arcana universe (I really only use him when Kesi’s the Apprentice) it fits his personality and his experiences the best. I can’t really say much more without spoiling what I’ve got working on for some of the writings I’m working on surrounding Kesi.

Innisfree Lavellan: 123456 by Fitz and the Tantrums, Alright this one is a bit of a stretch for Innis but 123456 fits her best because it’s such an upbeat song and just seeing the positive in things and that tends to be how she functions.

Brette Ryder: Still Breathing by Green Day, I chose Still Breathing for Brett because despite everything she’s had to face she’s still going on, she’s still pushing forward.

Teressa Shepard: 100 Bad Days by AJR, Terri got 100 Bad Days because this girl has had a lot of bad days but there’s still a good story found in a bad day, something she can look back on and smile about.

Scarlett Lake: Rescue Me by Marshmello and A Day To Remember, This song fits Scarlett because Scarlett’s life had been pretty bad until she found people who she could completely trust and put her faith in.

Kiri Powers: What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club, I didn’t have a lot of music on Kiri’s playlist but this vibed best with their personality. They’re good at understanding emotions and picking up what people need.

Selena Irvine: We Belong Together by Vampire Weekend ft. Danielle Haim, Sena’s always found people that she belongs with wherever she goes and that isn’t any different when she reaches Lunaris. She builds relationships quickly.

Novella Dowdy: Colorful Voice by Night Keepers, Okay, in my defense, I chose this song for Ella purely for the vibe and the lightness of the song. It’s upbeat and sweet much like her personality and fits in how she reaches out to others.

Musi Acuna: My Blood by Twenty One Pilots, Musi was given My Blood as her song because she’s more than willing to reach out and help anyone she can. They become close to her then they’re her family, her blood and she will support them in any way she can.

Everyone I’m tagging doesn’t have to do this or if you do it then sure as hell doesn’t need to be as in depth as mine is but I’ve been thinking all day about character theme songs so yeah. Tagging: @vlastdaddy @marinmuffins @julians-chest-hair @kaiasinclair @kasiagrey @juliian-devorak @dr-devoraak and honestly @ anyone who’s interested in this. I mean, this was a pure boredom idea so *shrug*

Teressa Shepard Screenshots

WIP Word Search

I got tagged by @heroofshield and TBH? I don’t remember what I was last working on besides To Vesuvia and I finished both parts of that so...I’m pulling from something that may or may not be done but I know I haven’t posted.

This is coming from a short story called “Death May Part Us” in the Mass Effect Universe of Teressa Shepard. My words are know, help, listen, and proud.

Know -  “Oh that’s Teressa Shepard. You know she looks a lot like you!”

Help - “ If anyone needed help, she was there."

Listen - Not Used within this Story

Proud -  "Your sister's done a lot for the galaxy, you should be proud of her."

Hey at least this was a better run than last time... :) I’ll be tagging @gryphonrampant @kittenbluestudios and anyone else interested in doing this! 

Your words are: crying, froze, travel, and happy

[musically-magic]

The best I have for N7 day is some art I did of my Commander Shepard. I've only been in this fandom for a month but I have loved every second of it. Thank you to everyone who has made me feel welcome to this fandom y'all are amazing and it has been a great ride.

Last Line Meme

So @daydreamingdragonage​ you said you were tagging anyone who wants to do this so I’ll bite.

I’m currently doing a character study on my Commander Teressa Shepard, writing out her journal entries, spanning from ME1 to ME3. So I’ll give a small taste of what some of her ME1 thoughts are. This’ll be from the last full lines I have written of the newest entry.

I guess if I asked Kaidan he’d help me handle some of this but this is my issue. I’m their leader, I’ve got to take care of this. I honestly never expected to have this much paperwork to do once I led my own ship.

I’m gonna tag anyone interested in sharing what they’re currently working on. Keep the fun going.

Yessssss.

I'll info dump a bit about Terri since I've been working on developing her the most recently.

So one of my favorite things about Terri is that, if she hadn't joined the Alliance, she would've ended up running her dad's bakery on the Citadel. She spent her teen years there helping him run the place and everyone in the family was more than sure she was going to stay there but she joined the Alliance right after high school because of her biotics and they paid for her to get a degree in technology.

[musically-magic]

They return...except Terri is about 10x more derpy.

[musically-magic]

This is why I should never be allowed access to Photoshop. I have so much regret doing this but yeah.

These are all the characters I actively use and will answer any asks for.

Top Left: 1001 Days Top Right: Stellamore 2nd Row: The Arcana (With updated appearance for Genesis, Harper, and Juniper) 3rd Row: When The Night Comes Fourth Row: Dragon Age (Innisfree - Talakai). Mass Effect (Teressa and Brette)

TOTAL AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS LISTED: 28
