34 year old Australian Jewish pathologist, gender identity of "no thanks". Here for Mass Effect headcanons and fanfic, alien biology and sociology, and almost any possible ship (especially if it's rare or platonic). Also The Locked Tomb, random art, and cool animals. Explicit content is tagged "lemon", Locked Tomb spoilers are tagged "gideon the ninth spoilers", and I can't promise to tag spiders or nature-documentary gore.

I've joked in the past about how I want an Arthurian adaptation set in one of those bits of the Middle Ages where nobody has any working infrastructure and all the kings and lords are flat broke but they're still trying to make it work, but it occurs to me that a high fantasy version of that would also be kind of awesome. The High King in his grand palace (shitty hill fort) sending his Holy Knights (a dozen guys and a donkey) on a perilous journey (a half-day's march) to face the Dread Necromancer's undead scourge (exactly six zombies). The Necromancer's immortal death-knight champion (a skeleton in a hat) comes out to meet them astride a terrible hornèd beast (a reanimated cow because they couldn't find a dead horse).

#They are aided in their quest by an Unknowable Enchantress (That lady up the hill) (via @thedupshadove)

She actually is a legit enchantress, but she only knows three spells, and two of them have to do with raising sheep.

A zombie cow sounds genuinely intimidating, at least (assuming the Dread Necromancer and/or death knight can make it charge and gore and trample people… a zombie cow that still has its living personality might decide to run away)

When you tell the ladies to suit up, sometimes they take it in a different direction. I love all the ladies of Mass Effect

True Blue (Shakarian childhood friends AU) - Ch 5

There were a lot of things that happened in Citadel public school which, in hindsight, Garrus was fairly certain could be classified as torture, but nothing, nothing, was worse than mixed-species sex ed classes.

The salarian teacher snatched an anatomically correct model of asari genitalia out of a human kid’s hands. “Never lick anything when you don’t know the provenance of the paint,” he snapped. He was new, frazzled, probably going to break in about… oh, Garrus gave it 12 months at the outside. Maybe fewer, given his lifespan.

One of the kids behind him – a regular on the bully circuit, a human called Luke – threw a stylus at Garrus’s head. He ignored it.

The salarian teacher sighed. “Now, how many of you have had sexual intercourse?”

Garrus didn’t raise his hand – for the very simple reason that he hadn’t – but all the other kids did, and the humans with particular gusto. One of them climbed onto the desk to raise his hand even higher. “Does anal count?” shouted another.

“You can’t fool me.” The teacher glared at them. “Given your age bracket, that is statistically unlikely.”

Another stylus swooshed past Garrus’s ear. Read more

My Mind Is Still My Own

Ah, a long time coming piece of Saren Arterius. I do have a weak spot for antagonists that were the villains just because their point of view or means got skewed by something bigger and badder, and this broken turian is no exception.

This piece will be available as a HD version, Step By Step Breakdown and lineart for my Patrons in January!
