not worth killing

I'm Toad, a small, anxious krogan. Nothing much of interest here, really. I, uhh, I work in a warehouse on the Citadel for a turian named Nazeer. Oh, and my sister Lyze visits here occasionally. Sometimes her advisor hangs around, too. {{Multi-muse OC RP blog run by gruntsmom aka gwenshepard. Proceed with caution; there is some triggering content. Please let me know if you'd like me to tag anything specific.}}

Writing Commissions

I love doing writing prompts and I could definitely use a little extra money, so I figured I would try my hand at writing commissions. 

general examples can be found here: x, and feel free to ask for specific examples if you have something in mind! 

typos in above works are due to the fact that i didn’t edit them after typing them up. I will thoroughly edit all commissioned works before posting. 

What I’ll Do

Original prompt responses (a prompt that does not specify specific characters, etc.) 

Prompts for your characters. (A good description of the character’s attributes must be provided to assure I can keep your oc’s in-character, as well as a description of the setting and plot/verse of the character, if it is relevant to the prompt.) 

Fandom prompts, provided I’m familiar with the subject matter. (Anything I’m an active fan of is always okay, of course, but I may do other fandoms if I feel that I could accurately portray the universe/characters based on knowledge provided by the commissioner or just from second-hand exposure to the material.) 

Fluff/romance, with no limitations on gender or sexual orientation. 

Action/adventure 

Slice of life 

Fantasy, sci-fi, etc. 

AU’s for fandoms or for original characters (with some guidance) 

Want something else? Ask! I may be open to trying it out! 

What I Will Not Do

Smut. Mentions of sex, fade-to-blacks, or PG-13 sex scenes are fine, but I won’t do detailed or graphic smut.

“Fanfiction” about real people. People are not your characters they’re actual… human… people. 

Some graphic/problematic subject matter may make me uncomfortable. I’m okay with writing most things, but graphic violence or sex or similar things may be too uncomfortable for me to write. 

I have every right to refuse a prompt if it makes me uncomfortable.  

Prices

$1 for every 500 words up until/including 1500 words. 

$2 for every 500 words starting at 2000 words 

I will always round down to the nearest multiple of 500 (ie, 2800 words=2500 words) 

You can choose a desired length when first commissioning me; your prompt is guaranteed to be at least the amount of words you paid for, and anything that I write past that word count will not be charged for. 

Alternately, you may give me freedom to choose how long the prompt becomes, giving me an upper limit as to how much you would like to pay. (If you want to spend $3, I will not go over 1500 words (or will not charge anymore than the prices for the 1500). If I write less than upper limit’s word count, I will only charge you for the amount I wrote. 

Payment

Legal currency will be collected through PayPal. 

I may accept virtual currency or trades as well, especially Flight Rising currency. Exchange rates can be discussed. 

May be willing to accept art of my OCs in exchange for a piece, feel free to ask! 

If you have something cool that you think “hey, i could probably trade this for a short story about my otp”, feel free to ask. I may accept other forms of ‘payment.’ 

Questions? 

Please send me an ask @ gruntsmom if you have questions, or e-mail me at [email protected]

Anna choked down two of the pills dry, taking the glass in hand but waiting until the pills did their thing. She wrinkled her nose. “Imagine it – a thousand years ago, Ahnra was being a sassy young krogan, getting into adventures and mishaps. And humanity was killing one another with swords and dying of terrible diseases.”

She’d learned much of human culture and history through vids as a youngster, but it always seemed a distant thing, just a fiction she was reading to pass the time. Tuchanka was more home than Earth could ever be, and Anna couldn’t think of a world spotted with lush forests, lakes and sprawling urban geography. The pictures of Earth always seemed so fanciful.

“How’s your brother doing?” She asked as a segue, taking a cautionary sip of her beverage.

[krogananomaly]

Lyze laughed loudly. “You guys grew up quickly, what with them short lives of yours. Though thinkin’ about Ahnra being young is even weirder than that, I think.” 

She knew practically nothing about human history, considering how little about aliens was taught on Tuchanka- especially with the mother who taught her, but it was definitely interesting. She liked to learn about aliens and their cultures, though. It was always interesting. Maybe that was part of why she enjoyed Anna’s company so much. 

“He was alright, last I talked to him. He’s still kinda’ scared of his own shadow, but he’s growin’ up and gettin’ better.” Lyze was far from scared and weak, and far from being anything like her brother- but she was open-minded enough to know better than to believe that he had no value. She’d fight anyone for saying so. Toad’s values were overlooked in krogan society, but he was not worthless. 

[tavianalvia]

“You’re not the only one.  A lotta people don’t get to see much of the Presidium.  Especially krogan.”  He gave a little huff.  “Think C-Sec would be swarmin’ like some kinda flies if you went up there.  They get all antsy about krogan.”

[krogananomaly]

“Yeah, probably. I dunno if I can blame ‘em too much- but it’s easier for me to stay down here. Less trouble, usually.” 

[krogananomaly]

tavianalvia replied to your post “Tavi squinted and pushed himself up a bit to look at the bruising just...”

His mandibles fluttered. "...Right. That's. Concernin', y'know that right?"

“It’s no big deal, really... I just don’t think I’ll be delivering in that part’a the Citadel again.”

What was your relationship with your parents like? Siblings too (if any)

"My mother cast me out for being too small, after long years of abuse and her trying to toughen me up before she gave up on me.

I never met my father, don't even know his name or what clan he's from. He probably doesn't want anything to do with me.

My sister and I get along, though. Our first meeting was a bit rocky, but not anymore. She's trying to convince me not all krogan are so bad, heh."

[krogananomaly]

Tavi squinted and pushed himself up a bit to look at the bruising just a little closer. "...What the hell happened to you?"

"N-nothing!" he replied, too quickly, not making eye contact. He wasn't any good at lying.

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

your muse notices bruising around my muse's neck. how does your muse respond?

[krogananomaly]

[[Do you have any happy memories from being young?]]

“Certainly not many- though I remember, in the badlands of Tuchanka, after being ‘exiled’ by Raigh. I found a cave, with a small pool inside, with relatively clear water. It was so peaceful, there. ...I wonder if it’s still there.”

tavianalvia replied to your post: “What's wrong?”:

"...I don't think so. It's just a statue. Do you... want to go see it?"

"I dunno... Maybe. I think so. ...Yeah. I'd like to see it."

[krogananomaly]

"What's wrong?"

"...Is it bad that I've never gone to see that krogan statue on the Presidium?"
