1-10 too questions for Nya and Shali
thank u ;w;
Nox and Julian
1. Who is the most affectionate?
Ohh, they’re pretty evenly tied there. They are both very clingy and touchy, and it really just depends on the day who is being the Most Handsy in public.
At home, Julian is ever so slightly more cuddly on any given day, but only just. If he doesn’t start the cuddling, Nox will do it because it’s too weird to go without.
2. Big spoon/Little spoon?
Nox is actually Big Spoon fairly often, especially when he’s pretending like he didn’t just wake up from a nightmare/isn’t scared of the dark when they’re staying in a ‘haunted’ hotel. When she’s Little Spoon, though, he basically ends up curled all the way around her–she’s never felt safer than she does when he’s got her in his arms like that.
3. Most common argument?
Something about their own self-worth–Julian’s still got that lovely clinical depression, and Nox has her own fair share of insecurities. They’re not so much arguments as they are “Listen to me, you are everything to me. Stop saying bad things about yourself.”
Sometimes they argue about Julian’s sleeping habits, or the fact that sometimes she catches him up like 5 hours before he needs to be up drinking some sort of caffeinated sludge that smells like diesel fuel in her kitchen (it was shortly after the third time she caught him doing this that she purchased an espresso machine and helped him find Real Coffee that he liked because she was worried he’d die of a heart attack before he hit 35).
4. Favorite non-sexual activity?
Just… being together, really.
Watching movies on the couch, streaming video games together on the weekends, dancing around their living room in pajamas, sleeping late on rainy Sunday mornings with their fingers in each others’ hair and their breath on each others’ skin. Making out for hours for the hell of it like they’re teenagers again.
5. Who is most likely to carry the other?
Simply by size difference alone, Julian ends up lifting Nox way more than she does him. But she can carry him–and he makes such a funny sound when she does, that she tries to do it more than she probably should.
6. What is their favorite feature of their partner’s?
Oh gOD that’s a tOUGH QUESTION and I don’t think either of them can narrow it down fjdslkfj they will try for you though
Julian’s SFW favorite feature of Nox’s: her eyes–the gold with red flecks that lights up like a smoldering ember in the right light is breathtaking
Julian’s NSFW favorite feature of Nox’s: there’s something in the swell of her hips and the way they cradle his that’s,,, very hot
Nox’s SFW favorite feature of Julian’s: she’s very very fond of his whole face, of course, but his nose especially she finds very handsome
Nox’s NSFW favorite feature of Julian’s: ohh honey that happy trail and the v-shaped hip bones on that boy have been driving her wild for years
7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?
The weird thing about the two of them is that nothing really changed when they realized they had feelings for each other. They were basically already so close that it was just… the simplest next step in the world.
For Julian, he became more aware of how often he touched her, and how often she touched him back. He started to linger more, hovering, never wanting to be too far away from her. He knew the chances of her returning his feelings were slim to none (because, at the point when he realized he was now Feeling Things, she still identified as a lesbian), but that didn’t mean he couldn’t continue to be close to her.
Nox went through a bit of a panic when she started to feel things, but she is a master of writing shit off, so it took her a very long time to come to terms with the fact that what she was feeling for him was, in fact, romantic attraction. When she finally accepted it, it wasn’t but a few weeks later that she made a move, so… yeah lol
8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?
Julian’s partial to old school stuff–sweetheart, darling, my love, my dear
I don’t know if Ilya counts as a Nickname for Julian, but it kinda does I think. That’s just the name he likes his closest friends and family to call him, and he asked her to call him that within like… two weeks of meeting her lmao. She’s also partial to sweetheart and darling.
The top tier nickname from Nox for Julian is when she calls him baby–she doesn’t do it often, but every time she does, he just… melts. It’s cute.
9. Who worries the most?
I think they’re probably tied for that and there’s no way to possibly have a tie-breaker.
10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?
Oh, they both do. They’re very attentive.
Kira and Tali
1. Who is the most affectionate?
Tali is actually more prone to wanting to hold hands or something, especially after she stops needing the suit. Kira is very affectionate, though, before the suit comes off. She lets Tali come to her simply because she’s not sure if Tali really actually wants this, but after they become an item, Kira is very open about leaving kiss smudges on Tali’s mask.
Tali pretends to be mad about it, but they both know she’s blushing like nothing else under that mask.
2. Big spoon/Little spoon?
Kira is absolutely the Big Spoon. Strong Shepard arms are good for feeling safe, especially when you’re out of armor for the first time in your entire adult life.
(plus, when Kira is little spoon, Tali has a tendency to sneeze because hAIR)
3. Most common argument?
“TALI you didn’t disINFECT YET!” “It’s fine! I’m fine!”
and then she was not fine and spent the next day and a half in bed with a fever
4. Favorite non-sexual activity?
They like to take midnight picnics sometimes, when Kira’s insomnia has gotten really bad after the war. They’ll take a basket and a blanket and go sit in the desert grass and lie back watching the Milky Way and just talk. Sometimes they kiss, too. Mostly they just breathe and enjoy the fact that they’re alive.
5. Who is most likely to carry the other?
The first time Tali really had a “oh gIRLS” moment was the time Kira, on a dare, lifted her and her entire biosuit without even breaking a sweat, sO.
That’s not to say that Tali can’t lift Kira, but Kira does it way more often.
6. What is their favorite feature of their partner’s?
Kira is absolutely hopelessly enamored with Tali’s eyes and glowy freckles. And her hips.
Tali likes Kira’s Muscles™ and her hair. And her lips.
7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?
Kira went out of her way to talk to Tali more often, spending more and more time down in Engineering just to flirt.
Tali started to stutter more often, rambling because that’s what she does when she’s nervous lol
8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?
Kira calls Tali ‘Jitterbug’ sometimes because of her tendency to get jittery when she’s nervous. Other than that, they go with the typical ‘babe’, ‘sweetie’, ‘sweetheart’, ‘my love’ stuff.
9. Who worries the most?
Tali, I think, worries more because Kira is a Shepard and being a Shepard means that she’s horrendously reckless when it comes to her own life.
10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?
Both of them, also! Especially since they both have to have different types of food with the dextro/levo thing.
otp question meme
TMI TUESDAY I’m actually in the mood to answer some questions. Feel free to ask my OC’s anything, SFW and NSFW. OC’s: Zane Starwarrior. (SWTOR) Skye'ash (SWTOR) K'agan Kazik (SWTOR) Vish'amar'reno (SWTOR) Ryanne Shepard (ME) Kira Shepard (ME) Mia Shepard (ME)
For all your Shepards, what drew them to their LI(s)?
Thanks for the ask! This got really long, so I’ll stick it under a Read More.
For Kira, her and Kaidan just clicked the moment they first started working together. She’s always been a friendly person and easy to befriend, and their relationship grew from mutual respect as co-workers and then as friends. They try to keep the relationship bit on the down-low for professionalism’s sake, but they tend to finish the other’s sentences without realizing it. It was tough trying to pick things back up after Horizon, but they were both determined to try and work things out.
Noah was drawn to Ash because of several similarities in their beliefs and values. They were just starting to get into their relationship when the attack on the Normandy happened. When he saw her again on Horizon, he thought that she’d understand, and her refusal of him made him believe that maybe he didn’t know her as well as he first thought. He’s not the type to dwell on things, so when he sensed that Ash had closed the book on their relationship, he decided to move on.
Miranda was different than Ash and Noah saw all these different layers that she tried to keep hidden from everyone. He liked that underneath the exterior most people (himself included at first) saw as being a frosty bitch was someone who cared a lot about those around her. He felt a bit awkward around her since she literally knew how he ticked, but that wore off quickly.
Jules and Joker were supposed to hook up much earlier. One of Jules’ infiltrator friends knew a shift pilot who was right up Juliana’s alley and offered to give him her Extranet address, but Jules had just gone through a breakup and wasn’t ready to jump into another relationship. Then the whole thing on Elysium happened and the mystery pilot was forgotten. When they finally did meet, Jules liked his attitude and how he didn’t let anything limit him. The fact that they share a love of old vids and both of them randomly threw out movie quotes from time to time helped make that first connection from acquaintances to friends.
Delores liked Kaidan’s ass, plain and simple. She eventually got attached to the rest of him, and the Horizon thing hurt her more than she let on. Zaeed is pretty much a kindred spirit and the closest thing to a BFF she ever had. One thing led to another and they had a quick, drunken rebound fling. He broke it off because he knew they both knew what it was and he didn’t want to “fuck up the friendship they had by adding feelings to the mix.”
Nothing ever happens with James: Del just likes stirring shit up and seeing how far Vega will take the flirting before he starts stammering all over the place. She teases him about staying on the porch while the big dogs run. They’re both fluent in Spanish, so there’s a lot of back and forth banter between them.
Send me some asks about Kira Shepard? I played through the ME Trilogy in two weeks flat with her lol, and I can’t stop thinking about her
🍎, 🎂 and 🍷 for miss Kira? ^^
Thanks for the ask!!
🍎: Do they share any features or traits with any family members?
She gets her red hair from her mother!
🎂: Has your OC have any contradictory interests or traits to the first preception people have of the? How do they surprise people?
She crochets! Which is not something most people know, and would probably not mesh with the mental picture most people have of her as Commander Shepard lol. She made Tali a doll of her drone, which was easy since it’s just a sphere, but the colors were a lot harder to get right
🍷: What's one of your OC's pet peeves concerning food?
Undercooked meat is a no go for her, not just stuff like pork and chicken, but also beef (she hates anything rarer than well done cause texture issues)
