Happiest birthday, love!💜 I hope you have a lovely day and even lovelier year after. You deserve it.🥰

Thank you, friend!!!! I am looking at the Arcturus "You Are Here" cross stitch as I type this, and am very grateful for you. 💜💜

🥑and 🐝 please!💜

🥑 You accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?

@rmd-writes and @welcometololaland for practical reasons, and @clottedcreamfudge and @cha-melodius for like, tactics and resolution. Hopefully I accidentally killed someone during winter, though, cause it'll take a bit for everyone to arrive.

🐝 Tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them

@firenati0n is just consistently one of the most lovely positive people in my life. @sparklepocalypse is here for every bullshit unhinged idea and is on my wavelength to a scary degree. I genuinely don't know how I'd have gotten through the last couple of months of Personal Upheaval without @happiness-of-the-pursuit in my corner.

And I have to give a massive shoutout to the Original Novel Hype Group Chat of @indestructibleheart @rmd-writes @inexplicablymine without whom I definitely would have given up on pursuing this ridiculous dream at least fourteen times so far.

Hiii! Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers

I like my hair, it's very curly and bouncy and brings me joy when it's not bringing me frizz.

I like my writing, I reread my fics a lot because I write things I want to read and sometimes I'm very impressed by a turn of phrase or the way I conveyed an emotion.

My sense of humor. It's dry, it's sometimes biting, but man I love to make people laugh.

I like that I'm an extroverted introvert and I like that I've figured that out about myself instead of letting everyone tell me that I'm obviously an extrovert bc I'm so friendly.

My asexuality. It took a while to figure things out, but I like knowing this about myself and I like the ways knowing this has helped me understand so much about myself.

Mass Effect Holiday Cheer

I cannot put into words just how surprised and delighted I was/am to receive the gift @ad-astra13 made for me for the Mass Effect Holiday Cheer exchange!!! I've had this a WEEK and I STILL cannot find the words!

It's my Caleb and Kaidan! In cross stitch!!! Oh man - as a cross stitcher myself, I know just what goes into making a project like this! It's so beautiful!!! The two of them, the details on their armor, the sparkly hearts, the Irish! <3 <3 <3 AHHHH!!!!! As soon as I start getting my art up on the walls in our new house, this will have a very special place! It's absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Go raibh míle maith agat!

OC questions for Regis!

1, 7, and 40.

thanks for the ask! usually I'll append screenshots of regis to these but since I'm lying in bed with my laptop I don't have access to my screenshot folder lol

anyway :)

Do they have any crafting hobbies?

Yes! Regis is definitely a shepard who loves model ship building, and he loves working with his hands. He also enjoys jewelry making with wires and repurposing metal part.

7. Do they have any unusual fears?

I wouldn't say Regis is afraid of fish, but he has a very strong adversion to them, he hates seafood, and does not like the idea of taking care of them as pets. He still doesn't know if Cerberus adding the damn fish tank to his cabin was them knowing about his adversion or just being ostentatious, and he doesn't really want to know the answer.

40. If they found a sword in a stone would they try to pull it out? How would they react to being able to pull it out or not?

He loves a challenge, so of course! If he can't pull it out by sheer strength alone, he's going to fight as "dirty" as possible to get the damn thing out, whether its using his biotics to blast the stone apart or rig something up with his omnitool.

And he would be very smug about it no matter how he got the sword out :)
