acquiring gender, one fandom at a time

Playing the Golden Rose and i kind of wish I could tell my girl Alessa that my character is gay as a Christmas parade. Poor woman is pining and sighing so sadly while I do everything to make Hadrian blush.

when you're in the mirror you're just looking at me

i was honestly shocked by how much i enjoyed this book. i don't really read YA anymore and wasn't expecting much from this other than cutesy bl in space but this book really grabbed me by the ass. if you like cheesy YA romance and existential space horror then check it out (also play 13 sentinels)

The senior crew of Starfleet's most controversial starship, the USS Normandy SR-1.

blurb and crew list under the cut!

I came up with a whole backstory for this AU, but I’ll just leave you with this blurb:

After the media circus around the Cerberus trials dies down and the rogue Section 31 cell has been thoroughly dealt with, no one expects to see key witness Shepard, ex-special forces commander, ever again. Not after she publicly disavowed Starfleet, and not with half the quadrant still questioning her involvement. They especially don’t expect to see her captaining her own starship. And to hire a turian first officer only months after the Hierarchy’s sudden and inexplicable move to join the Federation? It’s like she’s begging for negative attention. The galaxy wants to know: what leverage does she hold against Starfleet brass to make them cater to her every whim? And how long until the crew cannibalizes itself under her rogue leadership?

SENIOR CREW LIST

CMDR. Shepard, Commanding Officer LT. Moreau, Helmsman

LT. CMDR.* VAKARIAN, XO, Chief Tactical Officer LT. ALENKO, Second Officer SPECIALIST TRAYNOR, Communications Officer

*approximate rank based on Hierarchy tier

CPTN. CHAKWAS, Chief Medical Officer CPO WILLIAMS, Chief of Security N/A [INVALID NAME], Acting Chief Engineer ENSIGN T'SONI, Science Officer

Playing the Golden Rose and hitting on Hadrian left and right and Alessa is sighing and looking on wistfully and I'm like: girl, your gaydar is absolute shit. 🙃 you're lovely but, uh, not exactly my type.

An absolutely breathtaking YCH commission of Davrin and Wyll by @drathe!!! The details were executed perfectly! They look so tender and in love, I can barely breathe. Bladewarden, my beloved! 😭💙

Someday I gotta finish my fanfic about a no gaydar trans Sebastian in love with his best friend who he thinks wears pride pins because he's such a good ally. 😅

there's probably a better way of wording the last part but like come on it doesn't matter if we're all the same to fascists

[everything-you-feel-is-real]

No I genuinely don't think there's any better wording of the last part

[redstonedust]

tragic when a thing gets hate for being 'woke trash' and you look into it and its not even that woke. like cmon man i was promised monacle popping gay commie propaganda. this is just a video game with a woman in it.

[tulaberry-wine]

Reading this and two thoughts keep swirling in my brain. Sean Astin reads smutty gay fantasy??? And wow, I feel so bad for Griff's poor ex-boyfriend Liam.

When Stars Collide is now officially out in steam after a somewhat frustrating and extensive review process. If you've been waiting for the Steam release, now is your time.

If you do enjoy the game, we very much appreciate reviews over there.

Thanks to everyone for your patience - I know it was a long wait as we went back and forth with Steam over the mature content.

Played Throne of Ashes Ruben's route. Such a good enemies to lovers especially on the fiery path. Like good reasons to actually dislike each other. Not instant attraction/instalove/lust and witty quips disguised as enemies to lovers. But like, actual dislike/hatred forced proximity and learning each other and apologizing.
