so i didn't catch up on my drafts, so much for the "follow back as i write responses" system i'd worked out.... nonetheless, i've decided that over the weekend i'll be migrating over and making the blog move official :') once that's done, it'll the same url and same nonsense as ever... maybe with actually writing now that i came back home from holiday and hopefully get back into the swing of things!

psa!!! i have moved to a new blog that i am currently keeping off the radar/off of tumblr recommended -- i worked out a system where i'm slowly following back the mutuals i have here once i finish writing the drafts i owe to y'all. which i feel is making it very nice and low pressure for me 😌
once i've whittled down my draft count, i'll switch the urls back over so that i'm at this url again... so no huge rebrand or anything, and it'll be back to business as usual! i expect it to be a process of another month or two, so for any of my mutuals i haven't followed just yet: if i've got one of your drafts cooking, i promise i'm getting around to it! and for any new followers, that just means a potential delay on me getting around to looking at your blogs until i'm officially moved over.
after the move, i am going to be more selective going forward in the sense that i want to keep a cleaner dash, as well as to be actively plotting/building dynamics/writing with mutuals. "writing" is last on that list because i will never judge reply speeds, ic or ooc!! i do however want to have some intial ooc back and forth, a foundation to build narratives upon, and some active interest in building character dynamics/rships.
i'll expand on all this when i make the move official!

if the events of m.ass effect 1 were not so time-constrained. shepard would spend the majority of it having the time of his life on pinnacle station
#aka I've been having the time of my life on pinnacle station. i just like beating times. i wanna place these events pre me1#ive been wanting to pad out his military career and i can see him having worked briefly under ahern at some point. i like the idea#actually i wanna go so far as to say that shepard's been to pinnacle station long before me1. as a special forces operative.#maybe during his early n7 training as a volunteer (he'll never say No to more combat) to test the simulator out in its. rougher stages.#can imagine that they squeezed some good data out of it sending him to the infirmary a couple dozen times over...#anyway working on snatching vidinos' gun from him. (shepard proceeds to immediately throw it in the normandys trash compactor)#another day in yappersville β˜€οΈ \` * file: ooc.#to be deleted.#many thoughts to be had...#i also like the idea that shepard hasn't had the Most contact with alien species due to most of his work being alliance-centric but somehow#every time he does work somewhat closely with aliens. it's turians. lmao. i hc the first alien he ever saw as a kid was another turian kid#funnily. probs the species he has Least in common with given the turian community/society oriented mindset vs his Extreme independence#balances it out actually. and now that i say that i think abt the fact that wrex complains abt krogans preferring to go off and fight-#-and do merc work rather than stay and rebuild krogan society and tuchanka. frankly. a lot like shepard's early me1 mindset. he's V krogan

in lieu of a pride icon for shepard (who does not put labels to his sexual/gender identity bc any sort of internal reflection results in him having to confront the fact that his personal identity is just [radio static]). have this great descriptor that basically sums it up πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ₯°
#usfw cw#maybe NOT 'the most charming mf' part#the rest however. perfect. friends shared this as part of a diff convo tonight and my brain said 'yoink that for shepard' so here i am#yes he can dance his ass off and yes he would fuck anything. would date anything. would form a crazy emotional connection with anything#anyway i Do describe shepard as queer. pan or bi are both fitting terms. you Could describe him as demiromantic tho he would not go so far#i just do not think he thinks abt it that much. he just looks at someone and is like yeah yr attractive. let's go for it#he does have some difficulties to overcome in same sex rships but physically rather due to any sort of internalised homophobia#and again. nb + agender yishai shepard is my golgotha. n usually he Never explores gender but certain ppl make him think abt it#when i say certain ppl i mean Two whole ppl and that's r.evan and daemos. and i love that so so muchhh#there's smth truly fulfilling abbt seeing ppl who reflect u. who r such sources of comfort and catalysts to exploring n finding yourself.#i have to make a hc post about sheps sexual history/history with intimacy and sexuality and personal identity as a whole. will i? not today#another day in yappersville β˜€οΈ \` * file: OOC.#to be deleted.#i WILL stop tomorrow. at least i'll do a little ooc posting cleanup. in lieu of writing ive just been thinking abt shep and talking abt him#im just. Tired and stressed and sick and that makes me not so much uninspired as it makes me unable to put words to drafts..#soon. Soon. grabs shepard by the throat and shakes him.#for now. when i finish this very spicy ramyeon. its good NIGHT for me (slept from 1am to 5pm yesterday thats why im up)

he definitely does not seem like the type of guy, but Shepard's narrative is all about love actually.. not necessarily romantic but just Love in all forms, familial and platonic and love with all the lines blurred (I'm talking insane queerplatonic dynamics with crewmates. rships that border on excessive codependency if ppl let him in and let him push the dynamic to that point). about being changed by love and made Stronger by it, love being what gives him his power and sharpens his teeth and makes him a better and a much deadlier weapon than he would be without it...
for all his sharp edges (and his long trek from being no one's son, no culture's child, no one's anything... to finding the littlest niche in the little community of the Normandy, and what it means to care for said community, to slowly branching that learnt compassion outwards on a larger scale), Shepard is more About love than anything else

ok. i love recruiting wrex and bringing him to kill fist, because of how i can get mad at him for going for the kill without my go ahead (yishai does not care that fist is dead... he killed fist himself this time lol, it's that wrex didn't wait or ask) but quickly getting over that because he fucks with wrex's loyalty and commitment to the job. and also bc wrex is probably his favourite me1 crewmate on a personal level and re: natural chemistry. but after playing it this way, i think this is might be my Preferred way of meeting wrex now
#id go with the 'what's the catch' option but the bizarre change of tone on the delivery for the 'are you serious' option is also great#shepards like. lmfao. what. genuinely shocked by wrex shoving him and then being like here u go! here's my money.#ultimately that makes him fuck w wrex even more.#i love shepard bc he's very touch averse and hypervigilant. but also the path to his heart can be thru playful violence/physical force#he'll shove people around (usually as a Threat) and wrex doing it to him? love that. keep doing that and he'll keep doing it back.#usually you have to get to a certain level with him friendship wise to be able to partake in friendly shoving and said playful force#and also he doesn't like it when it comes from someone who's doing it because they look down on him or think they can shove him around.#it works with wrex bc wrex is wrex. it isn't patronising. just krogan communication. he n wrex are equals + wrex is loyal to the mission#so shepard looks at it as like. a demonstration of strength/confidence. ykw i mean... just raw honest force. no kissing up. no pretence.#garrus going 'i dont like where this is going' and shep mentally going 'SHUSH' bc he and wrex r communicating on a diff level right now.#anyway sorry wrex i dont even know how much u gave me because my credits are maxxed out. oops.#READY TO FIND J'SKAR? \` * file: OOC.#to be deleted.#i'll translate this all to a proper dynamic/rship page someday instead of deleting it right into the void. i hope.

thinking again about how easily moulded shepard can be esp if you catch him pre-mass effect 1.. thinks about how good he is at surviving and Enduring more than anything else... the complete irrationality and extreme limits he will go to when it comes to those he has handed his loyalty over to (for better or for worse). Finding friendship and faith in the Normandy crew and to people like Anderson made his story and narrative a good one and kept him in line but this was all coincidence. it could've easily been a miserable and horrific story
#t.ron uprising verse is very much an example of this (shep being loyal to the Wrong ppl) but luckily clu doesnt have a personal interest#otherwise shepard could become something very very scary. he has massive potential but often it takes another person to sculpt it into smth#if he had had better guidance and better emotional development as a kid it might not have been this way but the reds made him And ruined hi#pre-me1 shep closing himself off from the world is a cautionary measure to protect himself bcuz unfortunately...#he is prone to being manipulated and then bonding on a deep and codependent level with a manipulator bcuz he sees them as a Part of himself#if he had been the one to be indoctrinated he would've been so fucked .. like yeah mentally hed resist Very impressively at first but.#once nazara got in there and figured out how this fucky humans brain worked. i think it could build an insane and truly twisted bond.#i almost think indoctrinated shepard would almost be more dangerous than s.aren. he'd just be Willing to do more and to be pushed further#anger and impulsiveness and a fucked up sense of justice are what drive yishai. but you get a Lot out of him when you unlock devotion/love#which is why he drives it deep down inside himself and hides it for a whole decade. its dangerous stuff. unhealthy.#its also why shep is a huge fan of killing yr abuser but is wholly incapable of doing so himself. bc that's still Part of him. it Made him#thinks about the post citadel coup scenario im cooking with dax's brief cameo in me3...#yishais is rly at his core built to be a follower rather than a leader; forcing him to lead as cdr shepard does a lot for his growth but.#at the same time he is a follower in terms of absolute devotion to the crewmates and people he loves#his morals are tricky. but all u need to know is that morally he prioritises whats best for his buds and reshapes himself around them!#to be deleted.#at the end of it all hes mostly thinking about his friends. the war crimes were bad but he regrets those less than like. making garrus sad#hes a big weirdo who didnt ever learn to have a normal rship so now hes tying his identity inextricably to the people around him..#try finding that on government paperwork. \` * file: HEADCANON.#another day in yappersville β˜€οΈ \` * file: OOC.
