Earthborn Shepard who still had the gang tattoos.
Earthborn Shepard who woke up on Miranda's lab table and shrugged on the armor fitted for their exact proportions in a hurry to get out of the Cerberus station.
Earthborn Shepard who, when finally looking into a mirror on the SR2 Normandy, finds nothing but bare skin.
And if they'd ask about it from Miranda she'd explain, "We were meant recreate them, but thanks to Wilson we ran out of time."
How would that feel? Which is worse, the fact that enough of Shepard had to be replaced even their skin isn't original anymore, or the fact that there is a timeline where Shepard would have looked into a mirror and seen their tattoos, and maybe thought they're a little off? A little too bright and fresh in colors, and were the lines always so thick? But unable to really determine what's wrong for sure.

Y’know, they warn you when you get a cat that it'll bring you prey--mice, insects, birds, etc--but they never warn you about when dogs do it
#this brought to you by#my younger dog bringing a baby lizard inside after our evening walk!#it was tiny and terrified and kinda cute if im being honest#but as soon as i saw that it was alive and intact it was evicted#dogs#pets#cute pets#but also kinda silly and very crazy

Really unfun headcanon I had because my brain hates me: what if El5n and Norea du Noc knew each other before the events that lead to them joining their respective factions? And El5n doesn’t know, because he lost those memories as part of Peil’s experiments, and Norea doesn’t know because he looked entirely different back then and there’s no way he’ll still be alive, right? And then he meets her during the Open House, and says they’ll get along well, and there’s this little part of him that says “like we used to” and he doesn’t know where it comes from. And then they talk during the walk, and the sense of familiarity just gets stronger, and then after Eri mind-zaps him the memories start to come back the way El4n’s did. And so he finds her in the basement, and gets a solid understanding of what’s going on, and he reaches out to her because he never had any of his past left to him before. Not even his own face, and yet here she is. And he wants so badly for her to live, just live, the way she used to when he knew her… and she never finds out that she knew this boy before, that he does understand a little bit of what’s it’s like to be Earthian, never knows that they were friends once.
#this brought to you by#my brain several hours ago at work#and the fact that there’s already so many other parallels in their backstoy#why not add one more?#el5n#norea du noc#g-witch#g witch spoilers#the witch from mercury#not gonna tag this as 5nore because it’s not quite 5nore but it’s definitely in the area I think

*whapping you over the head with a rolled up newspaper*
don't 'yeah ok whatever' your health
(go TO the doctor before a little problem becomes a big one. If you're a regular at the ER something else is going on. And don't lie to the doctor about symptoms and side effects. Trust your instincts if something is wrong.)
#this brought to you by#a family member was just diagnosed with an aggressive cancer#on checking again#i get the impression that the surgeon thought it was cancer all along#but the lab test said no#if someone had said 'yeah that doesn't sound right?'

remember kids! If your characters can’t deal with their problems by talking it out in a mature and responsible way, sometimes you can just make them fuck about it instead
#this brought to you by#I have been stuck on this chapter for 6 weeks#and maybe they should just get toxic about it

I’m a mechanical engineering co-op (kinda like an intern) at a pretty big company. So of course there’s all the weird conflicting systems and tons of random documents and departments and stuff.
A lot of times I’ll have to ask someone to help me find a document or CAD file that I need for one of my projects (because I’m only here for a few months and they haven’t given me access to all the databases). And most of the time it’s not an issue.
But about once a week, I’ll ask for something and the person will just look at me, pause, and then a look of horror will dawn on their face. Because the thing that I requested should definitely exist. But it does not.

Also a picture of my Minecraft conlang. There is no first person plural (this was made for a singleplayer world) and the only future verb tense is future perfect. Passive is nearly oblique at this point but there is a fully formed subjunctive. There is also a differentiation between /ɔ/ and /o/. However there is no differentiation between /d/ and /ɾ/ (there is no /r/). /l/ does not exist.
#i am working on pronouns next#these-like the nouns- will not be gendered#i do have a declension system but it’s also not grammatical gender#this brought to you by#Etho was talking about his Minecraft ‘language’ he made#and I was like ‘that sucks it’s just a code’#and so I made a language#may use this in dnd may not#if I do I def have to add a first person plural#and probably some more consonants

truly the most american thing is Big Drink. more than late stage capitalism, more than an unparalleled cultural focus on individualism, more than 9/11 jokes
what binds all americans together culturally is Big Drink
and you might be saying "is this fat shaming" or "but mayor bloomberg outlawed Big Drink in nyc" or "gays are so annoying about their iced coffee" or some other dumb comment but no open your minds, Big Drink isn't just sugary or caffeinated beverages
every day i see one of you hydration bitches (affectionate) on the train with a water bottle so big a toddler could drown in it. that too is Big Drink. we literally invented a bigger beer can (tall boy) in wisconsin in the 60s in the service of Big Drink
anyway i never feel more american then when i have Big Drink in my hands

I can behave normally around books
#shitpost#anyway guess who brought home 24 new books today?#if you guessed me. well. you would be correct#in my defense I only bought 5#for a combined total of usd#where’d the number go. it was 17 usd#the rest were from me going through what my dad was getting rid of for space and claiming it for myself#but either way#24 in one day is a personal record I think#also I do fully intend to read all of these it’s not hoarding for hoardings sake

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
#who cares if its platonic love who fucking CARES if its because they wanna kiss like the devotion and the tenderness is there no matter what#mainly brought to you by: jack and anne from black sails but also probably sydcarmy and msr#sydcarmy#msr#rackhanne#the bear#black sails#txf#the x files#mulder x scully#sydney x carmy#jack rackham x anne bonny#oh wait perhaps also theonsa if you squint#maybe not

Pol knows Gen's not a street rat as early as day two of the quest and I'm reasonably sure he's knowingly helping Gen with his cover, too
#queen's thief#the thief#tt spoilers#this brought to you by#pol *saw* gen wash up happily twice#in his presence#before throwing a fit for the Magus' benefit#and while it's a consistent character thing#that gen dislikes being manhandled#as a 'how dare you touch me' thing#*both he and pol are smiling*#(pol is smiling and gen is 'hiding his expression')#after the exaggerated 'fight' about taking another bath#and i wouldn't be suprised if pol clocked#considering whether it was worth dumping pol on his ass#and deciding against showing his hand too early#pol *knows* gen is being theatrical for the benefit of the others!#*and he doesn’t rat gen out*#also i think gen's cover and actions don't quite line up#when pol bandages gen's wrists#the whole thing with the gag strikes me in hindsight#as 'i know it hurts but you're being ridiculous'

one braincell transfer (divided by four)
#i think you guys have no idea where the extent of my admiration to AE quartet has brought me aside of sunday's existing trust to welt#i'm so down to any possible dynamic they'll have both in-game canon and fanart#they're the most preciousest ever i'm just welt yang to them. the ducklings#i think sunday can get along with them just fine regardless of their past endeavors when the will of the trailblaze is a will to change#he'll struggle he'll get awkward maybe a lil control freakishness and wonweek smugeroo here and there#but their differences is what makes them all familiar to each other as a group and i love that...#sunday hsr#dan heng#trailblazer#stelle#march 7th#hsr#honkai star rail#qiiarts#I FORGOT THE TINY MAN OF THE HOUR#welt yang#AE quartet
