Fire the headcan(n)on: Problems with long-term management of biotic resources for maximum strategic potential in the Alliance military
It is obviously not ideal* for a ship's CO to be running risky ground missions, but the issue demonstrated by Commander Shepard actually brings to light a larger dilemma that's been discussed within the upper echelons of the Alliance military for years. Biotic personnel are a huge asset as front-line troops, and any still able-bodied biotic moving off the front lines is considered a net loss. This poses a potential retention problem, since the usual route for advancement would remove them from where they're considered most valuable.
A trail of internal communications dating back over a decade (recently acquired by Westerlund News) documents how the Alliance instructed recruiters to push biotics to enlist (with exorbitant sign-on bonuses) rather than attend school for a commission.
It's worth noting that when faced with a similar recruitment-and-retention problem for pilots, the Alliance chose to offer commissions, while technically-skilled Specialists can be brought in as officers or warrant officers, depending on their pre-military career and level of education.
Alliance military doctrine suggests preventing a "Shepard Problem" not by restricting a biotic CO to their ship, but by making sure they'll never command a vessel in the first place. If at all possible, biotic personnel should not be given the opportunity to advance to senior command positions until they are physically unable to serve on the front lines.

im gonna cry about mipha a little bit because as mad as i've been about the treatment of the champions in totk at least mipha managed to leave somewhat of a legacy. i mean the zoras moving her statue from being the centerpiece of the domain to their backyard still leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth but mipha's death having an impact on sidon and giving him a fear of losing anybody else that he loves is what i wanted (not the trauma thing sjhsbsjhse, just their deaths having an impact). i'm glad at least one champion got to leave something behind.

tumblr ate the original version of this post, but tl;dr i'd gotten to thinking about the 'don't just like, reblog!!1!' discourse that seems to have intensified lately, and i think for me the issue is basically that artists seem to want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to whether they're our peers, or actual professionals?
like—fundamentally my blog is my space to express my own taste in. period. that's what it's fundamentally primarily for. ergo i'm not going to reblog things i have mixed feelings about, because that would be misrepresenting my taste, unless i can append critique to them in order to clarify where my taste diverges. which i can do, with professional work!
but i'm pretty sure most tumblr artists would be upset to find criticism popping up in their notes. which is totally understandable! but like. if i have to discuss your work politely, rather than honestly, because you're a peer who's in the room with me—then yeah, if i don't like it enough, i won't reblog it, because if i don't have anything good to say, i shouldn't say anything. which isn't how we handle professional art! but it is how we handle our peers.
and it just seems to me like—you've got artists out here going 'i'm a struggling amateur, so you should do me a solid and toss me some free publicity! 🥺' but also 'i'm trying to make a living at this, so you should do me a solid and toss me some free publicity! 🥺' and i just feel like, which is it? because if you're my peer, then i'm only going to discuss your work publicly if i like it enough, because to do otherwise would be rude. and if you're a professional, then i don't owe it to you to subsidize your business by providing free advertising! if a business's products don't actually organically appeal to people, it should go under!
which maybe sounds harsh, but like. i have no desire to see making art restricted in any way. people should make whatever art they like, regardless of audience or quality, and derive joy from that! but like. if you want to make a living from your art, you should, actually, be making work of a quality that will speak for itself, in which case you shouldn't need to browbeat people into recommending it??

Obviously that person is being helpful and isn’t going to know what I know and don’t know or what I remembered, but I legit know this stuff, so it feels like I’m getting talked down to.

Starting The Day [221B-Arthur]
Rating: Teen/Just on the edge of Mature Pairing: Arthur Conan Doyle x Reader Summary: Arthur starts his day with you. Warnings: Suggestive language and actions. It's Arthur, and as we all know: Arthur=just a slight notch above PG-13 Notes: Various times when ao3commentofday posts about different names for varying lengths of fic (drabble, ficlet, etc), on the list, there was a format used by the Sherlock fandom called 221B where you write a piece that's exactly 221 words, the last word starting with the letter B (in reference to Holmes's address, 221B Baker Street). While I have not participated in any Sherlock series fandom, adaptation, or whatever of that respective collective fandom, I thought it would be fun to try the writing format on Ikevamp's Mr. Doyle himself. Because I think it'd be funny and fun

Also on Ao3!

"Luv, I might just kiss you."
"You say that every time you see me." 
"And have I ever not delivered on that promise?" Arthur stood up after you set his breakfast tray down, wrapping his arms around you and kissing your nose. “I never seem to be able to start my day without seeing your lovely face.”
“I’m sure the coffee helps out more though.” You reach for his wrinkled shirt, little blue dots sprinkling the cuffs. A sure sign of his late-night escapades, now that he was dating you.
“Oh? This certainly wakes a man more than your delicious coffee.” He smirked, reaching for your collar, his fingers gingerly brushing your jaw, the ink long dried enough to not mark your face.
“Laundry day, Arthur,” you reminded him with a small smack on his wrist, pointedly ignoring his little pout. “it’s going to take forever to get that ink out.”
Arthur sighed. “Pity. Sebas has you on the short rope today, does he?”
You smiled.
"I have the advantage of knowing your habits, my dear Arthur. I let you have your way, and nothing would ever get done.” 
His frown deepened in spite of your fingers making quick work of his remaining buttons, the cotton fabric sliding off his arms. 
He starts, however, feeling your brazen hand on his belt.

I still don’t understand how Shepard was in Alliance jail after ME2 when technically they weren’t part of the Alliance because they’re a sci-fi version of a Lich
They were marked down as DEAD by the Alliance
When in 2 were they reinstated to the Alliance?!?!
Did I miss that?!?!
Also, they’re technically a Spectre and as such they ain’t gotta listen to anybody but the Council
So like
Did I miss Shepard being reinstated into the Alliance and as such why they gotta be in Jail?!?!

ugouguhghhgnnnghhhhh ^ My thoughts on them
#mindy fouynhd august in her shed . Her grandma's shed n shes like How the fuck are you here. what are you#^cos he's a human . and all bugs have little bumps on their heads that r remants of their antennae and he doesnt so shes like ewwwwww gros#basically adopts him when she sees how he's in shambles n he hangs out in her shed that's near the field of (seemingly) infinite wheat#Its impossible 2 pass by the way so that's why she was so confused on how he was here#bug communities r tight and everyone knows everyone Cos of how small the population is where she lives so ghes this total stranger#shenanigans ensue Leading to august being the cause of a star corpse tsunami . im not realy gonna get into that#but its realy fucked up#and he leaves because of it N explores the outer world which is rlly fucked#The sun scorched all of the earth at one point n it was just all ash . but star shards became a thing and some parts of it came back to lif#and spread out real far#stars have their own story like its a WHOLE deal involving some shitty guy who tries to mass produce them#by forcing the earth's core . Which is a heart . to keep beating even though it's pretty much dead. Imagine male salmon after mating seaso#kinda like that#BUT YEAH ITS A LOT I DONT WANNA DUMP IT ALL cos that would take fucking foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaahhh#THANK YOU FOR ASKING IT ACTUALLY helped me sort out my own thoughts on em on Everything#well . not everything The story is huge#my asks#ehehehe#oh also August's whole deal is he vomits up little creatures when he's upset#literally nothing he can do about it it's involuntary . he can repress them for a while And he gets better at it but the drawback is#When they come out they are bigger making it more painful . and really fucking destructive#but it also happens when he's feeling any strong emotion like joy#so he has to dull everything down . cant get too excited now or bad things will happen!!! ^_^#as you can see I take a very unique and in depth approach to writing with very nuanced symbolism (sarcasm)#sopmetimes straightforward stuff is the way 2 go im not gonna overcomplicate smn for the sake of making it overcomplicated#anyways yeah long story short August is a freak and kind of a creep (and a weirdoooohoo) But so is mindy although in much more subtle ways#the main difference is Mindy isnt straight up terrible like he is#i cherish them both . And mr star and herman and the Last and the Sun

the one Halloween tradition I have is that I replay Oxenfree, and I never really quite remember why until I'm two hours into it and remembering that The Sunken are perhaps my favourite version of ghosts.

Misconceptions
Misconceptions about lemmings go back many centuries. In 1532, the geographer Jacob Ziegler of Bavaria proposed the theory that the creatures fell out of the sky during stormy weather and then died suddenly when the grass grew in spring. This description was contradicted by natural historian Ole Worm, who accepted that lemmings could fall out of the sky, but claimed that they had been brought over by the wind rather than created by spontaneous generation...
Lemmings have become the subject of a widely popular misconception that they are driven to commit mass suicide when they migrate by jumping off cliffs. It is not a deliberate mass suicide, in which animals voluntarily choose to die, but rather a result of their migratory behavior. Driven by strong biological urges, some species of lemmings may migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. They can swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat. In such cases, many drown if the body of water is an ocean or is so wide as to exceed their physical capabilities. Thus, the unexplained fluctuations in the population of Norwegian lemmings, and perhaps a small amount of semantic confusion (suicide not being limited to voluntary deliberation, but also the result of foolishness), helped give rise to the popular stereotype of the suicidal lemmings, particularly after this behaviour was staged in the Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in 1958. The misconception itself is much older, dating back to at least the late 19th century. In the August 1877 issue of Popular Science Monthly, apparently suicidal lemmings are presumed to be swimming the Atlantic Ocean in search of the submerged continent of Lemuria.
an incredible couple of paragraphs from the lemming wikipedia but my favorite is the last one
Another myth may have roots in the fiercely aggressive nature of lemmings during population booms, and the corresponding leftovers of predatory frenzies: lemmings do not explode.
of all the small creatures in the world lemmings get THE most insane myths

Hey guys do you have any questions on my identity (sexuality, gender romantic preferences?).
Well now I'm pretty sure who I am and I can finally answer those questions and if you don't have questions for me, you could ask questions about being queer in general or advice!
