#i will fight god for one corn chip

[bamsara]

feel free to ignore this ask if it's too spoilery, but what kind of sibling relationship did narinder have with the other bishops before the betrayal?

was it more of a "i have a formal obligation to you since we're related" or "gods forbid you ask me for a singular corn chip, but i would kill someone for you"

Def the second one. Please pardon me because I'm about to ramble for a long minute.

The relationship between him and his siblings are very much built on sibling rivlerly but also care. They might have had spats about godhood and domains and spars with power, but they still supported each other and cared for each other; when you're an immortal god, really the only company you'll have in the end who understands you is your immortal siblings.

They will scold each other, help each other, tease and mock each other, maybe playfully sabotouge eachother, but they were eachothers family.

I've put some hints into it in my fic so I hope it's okay if I explain/point out some of them:

They helped each other with their domains and temples, respectivly, and sparred with one another, which is how I hc how Narinder is able to give The Lamb advice on how to fight them. They sqaubbled and bickered but it was all in care, and they had each other for eons.They were each other's support pillars.

At least back then. Now, there's a bitterness and resentment, not just between Narinder and the siblings but also the siblings themselves, possibly because of how the situation with Narinder went. Kallamar himself says to to kill Shamura and not him, and that it was not his idea to chain Narinder. Heket talks about grief and suffering:

Heket's ingame dialogue:

They both speak of suffering and grief. Possibly, suffering because of the pain sewn through the family when everything fell apart, and grief I can only imagine because they felt like they had to kill and/or chain their brother in the afterlife. Clearly there is love, or there used to be love in the family, and that love is lost or killed now. Suffering and grief. Resentment; because even after everything; Narinder, is STILL causing rifts and suffering for the family.

Kallamar's dialogue:

Kallamar is absolutley terrified of Narinder, his younger brother, who is the God of Death, and states that it was not his idea to chain him for his 'ideals'. Possibly because Narinder's crime was to create resurrection, to undo death, which would be wonderful for somone like Kallamar who is so deeply afraid of dying and suffers from cowardice. I imagine that Kallamar did not agree with his sibling's will to chain Narinder but didn't have the spine to go against them when Narinder threatened to unbalance everything. Thus; some resentment.

Shamura's ingame dialogue:

Shamura states that overtime Narinder grew discontent with being the limitations of Death. This is possibly when he began to look into creating the concept of resurrection, something that would reverse the 'absolute'. Possibly he would be very powerful with the ability to reverse death as many would seek that sort of safety. But it horrificly unbalances the nature of things.

How? The promise of Resurrection makes sacrifice and the fear of death useless.

Heket cannot control her followers with the promise of feasts or threats of famine if they can simply come back from death of starvation. Kallamar's followers would not fear disease or sickness if they were just going to revive after dying. Those who worship Shamura would not try to gain their favor for war, battle or knowledge if they were able to just resurrect if they lost. I'm not sure how it would affect Leshy's following, but I can imagine it's the same kind of outcome.

And still Shamura loved their brother, even aknowledging that they, the four siblings, were the ones to betray Narinder in the end. 'Of your own turned against you'.

It was Shamura that made the decision to chain Narinder in the underworld. It was Shamura who blames themselves for planting the idea of change, that something could be better, into Narinder's head, and it was Shamura who realized that the freedom of change that was allowed to themselves could not be allowed to Death himself, and made the other siblings join them to seal The One Who Waits away.

I'd like to think that the siblings each loved their family, at least before. There's resentment and bitterness now, hatred from betrayal and animosity between not just Narinder but possibly a little through the four siblings as well.

That being said, Shamura clearly still cares about Narinder or at least thinks back on him fondly in the dialogue of the blame. I'd like to think that there's grief like Heket says, and the others feel the same. They grieve him.

And in my story, I'd like to think that Narinder grieves them too.

So yeah. It was def 'a gods forbid you ask me for a singular corn chip, but i would kill someone for you' type of family, at least before it all went to hell.

Steve cannot believe this. He is humiliated on an entirely new level. He has fought literal MONSTERS and looked death in the eye more times than he is comfortable to count and yet... and yet here is is. Fighting a literal child. How did he even get here?

Steve takes a deep breath, opens his fridge and takes out 2 soda cans. He slowly makes his way back to his living room where everyone is watching some movie that he hasn't even payed attention to because he has been too busy glaring at a kid. He really should be ashamed, but more than anything he is irritated.

Steve's main pain point in life is one Mike Wheeler. This kid is doing ANYTHING within his power to get him as far away from Eddie as possible. Steve already knew that he wasn't Mike's favorite person but still... this was beyond ridiculous.

Steve had originally planned for a movie night with Eddie and Eddie ALONE. But somehow, it suddenly turned into a movie night with the entire party. He heard from Dustin's loose lips that Eddie had made an off comment about today and suddenly Mike had invited everyone over. Eddie had actually looked sheepish about it. He didn't want to impose on Steve like this, but once the gremlins had something in their head it was impossible to get them to stop. Hence why literally everyone was now piled up on the Harrington living room. Steve understood of course, he has had his fair share of ruined plans thanks to the kids, he couldn't blame Eddie. He knew perfectly well whose fault it was. Still, he tried to make the best of it. He could still pull some moves right? It was dark, they would be in close quarters, and during a scary movie?? Perfect scenario to get some of the ol' Harrington charm on. So as casually as he could, he started getting everyone seated, leaving him and Eddie on the loveseat at the back. And at first, it was great. Eddie would get reaaaally close, little comments leaving his mouth that lingered on Steve's cheek, he was so close. God he had missed this feeling so much. The quick heart rate, the tingling on his skin where their arms met, the butterflies on his stomach.. even the hot flush that took over his neck when Eddie winked at him after a particularly lewd comment. He was about to make the typical douche move and put his arm behind the couch when... "Steve" ... "Steve!" "What!?" "I'm hungry" "Go get some snacks then Wheeler" "I don't want to touch something that i'm not supposed to dude" Steve sighed deeply, rolling his eyes before getting up to the kitchen. He might as well make some for everyone right? He quickly got some pop corn and some chips into bowls and walked out of the kitchen, everyone still enraptured by the movie. Everyone but Mike Wheeler. Who had moved from his place on the puppy pile on the floor, to HIS place next to Eddie. "Wheeler, come take your food" "Can't you just pass it over?" "You're in mi seat..." "What are you? 12?" "Aren't you??" "SHHHHHHH! Shut up man we're trying to watch something here!!" Both of them cringed and apologized quickly. Steve looked back to Mike who was now watching Eddie with huge eyes and a faint blush on his cheeks. The reaction was immediate: irritation, jealousy and incredulity. The little shit really had gotten Steve out of Eddie's vicinity, taken Steve's place thinking what?? that he had a shot?? or was he just lowering Steves chances??? Just when Steve thought this could not get worse, he was not internally cursing a child for being next to his crush, he wasn't... ..the little shit had the absolute audacity to smirk at him??? while slowly leaning onto Eddies shoulder at that?!? Oh. Oh no. Oh now it was ON.

Graves Headcannons from Shadows’ POV (Part 3):

part 1 Part 2

((Hey ya’ll, hope the weekends a good one! More Graves stuff~))

The Graves manual made it back to 7-11 a mere two weeks since his last entry.

He groggily left his blanket cocoon of warmth, shambled towards the door, wrenched it open ready to chew out the impertinent little shit who’d been rapping at it incessantly, only to have the massive binder shoved into his chest with enough force to stun him; too stunned to catch the identity of his unwanted visitor, who had the sense to haul ass immediately away from the doorway.

There was giggling accompanied by several voices and boots scampering down the hallway.

Ballsey, noisy, and reckless enough to bother an officer at 0600 on his one day of zero responsibility? Clearly they were the fresh batch of recruits he’d been working on, still too new and wet behind the ears to have callsigns of their own.

If he was any other lieutenant 7-11 would’ve given chase, hunted each of them down and handed out extra drills and the honor of scrubbing one of the barracks’s communal showers.

Alas, he was only himself; lazy at his core and an unrepentant enjoyer of his day off. No baby Shadows he needed to teach, no training with his platoon, and no paperwork. Unless the more senior staff or an act of god (Graves) said otherwise, 7-11 wasn’t gonna exert more energy than he needed to.

Sleep ruined, 7-11 rubbed the grogginess from his eyes and plopped the heavy binder onto his desk. Might as well add some shallow, surface level Graves trivia, because anything deeper was too much for his fuzzy mind.

~~~~~~

-it’s not that he’s ashamed but he’s very self-conscious of his accent; he’s aware of the stereotypes attached to it, so he softens and flattens it a bit when dealing with clients.

-but when he’s relaxed, exhausted, fighting off sleep’s siren call? The accent thickens, sweet as molasses.

-turns red when he thinks he’s been caught nodding off though. Everyone should pretend they didn’t notice and wait for sleep to drag him under. Calling attention will just fluster him.

-some of you’ve seen or heard the boss mumble in his sleep; again, pretend you never noticed.

-He seems to bristle or shy away a bit at showing vulnerability or receiving affection.

(Like a growly coyote that won’t admit to enjoying head scritches, 7-11 mused fondly. Let’s see if we can fix that.)

-although he likes the occasional drink, Graves tries to keep a sober head most times as commander, especially on missions (the Graves Alone Xmas fiasco, as many Shadows have taken to calling it, was a damn fluke, an aberration, and 7-11 will make sure there will never be a repeat)

-he bites. Hard. No, i will not elaborate.

-has a fragrant woodsy scent (it’s fucking distracting, especially during spars)

-Graves is possessive. More on this another time.

-gets severe road rage; Graves will shout, abuse the horn, roll down the window to insult you, your mother, and your shit driving in that order, and stick a hand out to flip you off; he’d flip you off with both hands if he didn’t need one on the wheel at all times. (The Shadows are glad he isn’t reckless enough to try and overtake anyone while cuts him off, he’s just REALLY loud about it.)

-he isn’t bad at cooking, he’s actually pretty good. Just limited in what he makes, but they turn out delicious. (“Hell, if you get stuck with me in some safe house, at least you won’t be swallowing down burnt MREs while pretending you wouldn’t sell my ass for a single corn chip.”) In this, he’s excellent wife material self-sufficient.

~~~~~~~

7-11 decided that was enough writing on his day off before shutting the binder. He got up, did some luxurious, toe curling stretches, and padded towards the bathroom to get the day started.

If he’s lucky, he could find a warm patch of grass to nap on before the sun rose to high. Preferably somewhere pesky baby Shadows wouldn’t find him.

My favorite thing about Animatronic!Monty vs Organic/Were!Monty is

Animatronic!Monty: shithead but also very nice, would not hurt a soul until his code got all fucked up (though you could argue it’s just safety protocols preventing him from fighting, so he really wants to but can’t for Legal Reasons)

Organic/Were!Monty: would fight god for one corn chip. Probably for free. He’ll kick your ass, he’ll kick that guy’s ass, he’ll kick his own ass. And then immediately feel a little guilty about it only because his handler has to keep getting him out of trouble. That’s the only reason tho

We love going into my drafts to clear old as fuck asks and drafts and finding one from your friend before they were your friend 😂💀 hi Skell love youuuu. This has been in my drafts for so long. I never posted it sorry 😭😭

-

Ey you nailed it!

Animatronic Monty was a politeish lad, and still is, just tends to be a bit more aggressive in modern times. Would like the option to throw hands, but isn't allowed.

Were!Monty has been fighting his whole life. Never really slowing down his hostility for others. It often gets him in trouble and he often has it be bailed out of bad situations

Challenge- rank your AUs macaque and wukong relationships from 'seconds away from killing each other' to 'best friends forever'

Oh dear god anon that's so many to rank and they also rapidly slide up and down the scale depending on the timeline (most of them end up besties cuz hawk and I love that sweet sweet reconciliation) but here we go. Higher on the list means they'll kill each other for a corn chip, lower means they'd die for the other at the drop of a hat.

Not gonna do them ALL because that's a WILD amount of them but here's the major ones.

Seconds away from killing each other

Early Hunter - hands down no question they're BRUTAL like second place is MILES behind them it's terrifying

Early/Mid Sanctuary - They hate each other. Macaque very much so, Wukong is just...kinda tired.

Early Daydreams - One-sided, Macaque would murder Wukong but it's not returned.

Early Wasteland - They’re not actively fighting physically but...the verbal abuse....is...is rough.

Early Core - tbh hardly counts because we don't spend much time with it. Basically canon hostility levels but it doesn't last long after the AU diverges, they reconcile pretty early.

Snapped - Kinda neither? Wukong doesn't know Mac exists and Mac avoids Wukong? Idk it's some secret third thing that doesn't really fit on this scale but it's here anyways.

Late Sanctuary - some things are....sorta settled? They're not at each other's throats but it's still a lil strained.

Late Wasteland - It's...something. They're never at each other's throats but it's tense for the most part. Not about to break out into a fight but it's more just...they don't AVOID each other but circumstances make things hard.

Ghost - I wouldn't use the word besties but they're close. It's more protective than friends?

Late Hunter - They're the friends that curse and swear and yell insults at each other constantly but like in a /fond kind of way you know the ones

Late Daydreams - also super close, but I wouldn't call them ride or die. TBH once you're down here on the list they're all super close and the rankings get less and less meaningful cuz Hawk and I just love them being close ahjgfbgf.

Tiny Man - Similar to ghost but a little bit more because both parties are like Fully There. More protective and a little bit parent-child and it's a lot of things but yeah they're close.

Godslayer - Not besties but a little more parent/child but also not. Red would do anything to keep MK safe because he won't let himself fail again.

Long Shadows (Lotus's, less shared) - Almost on a core level of codependence, they never had a huge fallout so they've had a long time to be close.

Late Core - literally cannot be any closer, they would literally do anything before they'd lose the other. And I mean literally as in the dictionary definition.

Literally ride or die besties

━"God? Oh He's Dead"

━Tw: Mention of knives, general Sally Face stuff, ect ect

(Y/n) would own a bat with rusty nails stabbed into the side if they could.

Growing up in the country side where everyone knew each other was a fucking thorn in their side. Especially when you're known as the one to practice knife throwing for fun instead of showing up to meaningless parties every Friday night.

What made moving to this shitty apartment complex any more interesting? Apparently the answer lied within a blue haired boy and his punk ass brother.

Oh yeah. And the cult that was actively out to kill them all

━Notes: Got Sally Face brainrot. I'm a fic writer. You can peice the rest together

━Song: "Cigarette Aheago" By Penelope Scott

Part One

A rock slammed into the ground with a sharp crack, bits of the once smooth stone breaking off into a rubble and grey colored dust. Another one hit the same black pavement soon after, the projectile having come from a high enough place to split itself in two.

More specifically the top of a horrid looking building.

(Y/n)s legs dangled off an uncomfortable concrete ledge, a glorified pebble resting in the palm of their hand as they chucked it with as much effort as possible. A small grunt slipped from their lips at the motion of throwing the rock, scaring away a nearby pigeon that had been nesting next to them up until now. They paused in their throwing to watch the bird fly off, a shiny purple and green feather falling in its wake.

This whole place was shitty. The roads that were filled with potholes, the loose bricks barely keeping this building from collapsing, even the goddamn elevator (Y/n) had taken to get up here. It was filled with the stench of mildew and sweat, along with suspicious stains lining the walls in a splatter motion.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than their hometown. (Y/n) had hated the country side ever since they could talk and walk. The corner stores filled to the brim with knock off brands of chips and candies, how deer would prance through their backyard completely ignoring the garden they had spent all spring tending to, a school of roughly a hundred people that all preferred to stuff people smaller than them in lockers-

And the corn. The fucking corn.

They never wanted to see a single stalk of that goddamn crop for as long as they lived. You couldn’t walk five feet without running into yet another field of that shit in the country.

So maybe that’s why no tears were shed when (Y/n)s dad told them they were moving to the city due to ‘a business trip’. They were pretty sure it’s because he got fired from his job of eleven years and decided a fresh start would be better, but they opted to keep their mouth shut about that and go with it. Besides they would have done anything to get out of that hellhole at that point. It’s not like they had a lot of friends to give saddened goodbyes to anyways. I guess that’s what happens when you spend your free time teaching yourself how to fight instead of getting shit faced at cheap parties.

Nothing was worse than that place.

At least that’s what they thought until they met the Nockfell Apartment Complex.

Finally deciding to hop off the ledge, (Y/n) swung their legs over the side and slid down to the floor littered with loose food wrappers and brown leaves.

Their dad was probably wondering where they had wandered off to for the last hour or two. It’s not like there were a lot of places to go here anyways so they didn’t want to worry him. Not like they could of course- he was a bit desensitized to their lengthy disappearances at this point.

Still, they found themself back in the confines of that same metal box again, pushing the worn red button to get to their new apartment. It had only gotten halfway there before the elevator changed courses, stopping abruptly and opening its doors to let a pair of new faces on.

They wouldn’t have paid them a second glance if not for that mask.

It was the shorter one with his sneakers untied that caught (Y/n)s eye at first. He had bright blue hair that was pulled into two pigtails on the side of his head. They fell loosely by his ears, allowing (Y/n) to get a good look at the white mask he was wearing.

It was secured around the back of his head by two brown leather straps, clasped in place with metal pieces. The material of the mask itself looked smooth, the surface carved into a monotone expression with holes so he could see and breathe. He looked to be just a few years younger than them, if even that.

Their gaze drifted slowly from him up to the taller boy, still intruiged by the presence of the mask. Immediately they stumbled in surprise at the fact he was already staring straight at them with a wide smile, teeth and all.

He had the brightest brown eyes they had ever seen. Honey brown almost. It was a stark contrast to his tan skin and even darker hair; which was currently tied in a bun at the top of his head. Without the hair draping over his ears messily they could see the metal piercings of all different designs decorating his ears. Beyond that a baggy brown shirt hung off his lean frame, the band logo on it extremely familiar to (Y/n).

The both of them were panting and sweaty, looking like they had just ran a marathon to get to the elevator. It made (Y/n) wonder what they had been doing before this.

They gave a timid wave to them, an uncertain smile pulling at the corner of their lips. It grew into a more genuine one when the tall boy waved quickly back though.

It only took a second of the sound of metal gears from the elevator filling the silence before the bluenette to their left cracked and finally spoke.

”You new here?”

His question could have been mistaken for a statement with the way he said it. It made (Y/n) huff out a slight laugh at the tone.

”Is it that obvious?” They teased.

“But yes. You could say that.” (Y/n) responded, stuffing their hands in their pant pockets. “The vacant room on the second floor, 206? Yeah me and my dad moved in a day or two ago. Fun stuff.”

They watched as his grey eyes gave them a once over through the masks eye holes while they spoke. (Y/n) couldn’t tell what he was thinking. Normally that would put them on edge, but something about this kid seemed different. He didn’t give off the judgmental vibe most people did when engaging in their laid back and standoffish behavior. If anything he appeared to be sizing them up. As if (Y/n) reminded him of somebody.

”We’re practically neighbors then.” He spoke, his tone a lot more casual now. Less tense. Friendly almost. “Me and my dad live on 204, just next door.”

(Y/n) responded with a ‘that’s cool’, smiling down at him. It could have been their imagination but the slight crinkle at the edge of his eyes almost made him look like he was smiling at them too.

“I’m Larry and this is Sally, but you can call him Sal. Everyone does.” A new voice piped up, voice deep and casual. “Nice to meet you little dude. We don’t get lots of new faces around here.”

The teen—now known as Larry—never broke eye contact with (Y/n) while he spoke. He seemed content just talking to them, scanning their figure with his eyes lightly. They could have swore that a mischievous glint was present in his gaze.

They hummed lowly at the scrappy introduction, mentally laughing at the use of ‘little dude’. He didnt look but a few months older than them if anything. But (Y/n) just let it be and gave their own name in response.

It was quite for a while after that, save for the constant noises coming from the old elevator. At least it was quiet until Larry spoke up again.

”So you like G?OHD.” He stated gleefully. They would have been able to hear the slight smile in his voice even if they weren’t already looking at him.

They glanced briefly down at the shirt Larry was referencing to see the worn out band logo he had pointed out.

It wasn’t a well known group. Just a metal band from a few decades ago that had a sizable following. The only reason (Y/n) even knew about it was because their dad had gone to a concert once when he was younger and brought back some merchandise from it that they eventually found packed away.

They wondered how Larry knew about it then. In fact they couldn’t think of the last person who had even mentioned listening to them. I guess when you lived in an area as confined as the country, not many people wanted to hear the teenager who threw knives for fun talk about a band named God? Oh He’s Dead. If anything they avoided the possibility of it.

(Y/n) answered back that they did, asking why he had pointed that out of all things. (If anything most people questioned why exactly they had a pair of earrings shaped like boobs hanging from their lobes. Always a fun conversation starter.)

”No reason.”

Larrys crooked smile said otherwise.

With that the large metal doors opened, announcing (Y/n)s rather abrupt arrival on their floor. The ride had taken shorter than expected, although maybe that was the strangely comforting presence of the other teens speeding things up.

They tilted their head like a puppy, turning around to look curiously at the two one last time.

Sal had just waved quietly at them, elbowing Larry in the stomach when he did a dramatic bow in honor of their absence from the lift.

”I’ll be seeing you around little dude.”

And then they we’re gonna, off to a different floor to do god knows what.

Okay so maybe things were looking up.

PJO oc: Oliver Miranda (Nee André)

@i-am-a-fan :33

He/him, aro. 

Son of Hermes and ???

Age: 26 

Powers: Can speak any language so long as he’s heard it spoken (ex. He can’t speak Portuguese if he’s never heard it spoken), classic trickster powers (theft, gambling mastery, slight of hand, being a very good lier), good at knowing directions, and very fast.  

Weapons: A celestial bronze pocket knife and a lighter, he’s usually no good in a fight, if he can’t trick or run away from a fight he’s as good as dead (still alive only because he’s lucky)

Would betray you for a pack of corn chips.    

History:   

Oliver was born in the French countryside as a child of Hermes around the 1900, one day though he wandered off and got lured into the Lotus Casino because they were very hospitable. He spent more than a century in the Casino before finally seeing the Di Anglo kids being taken out by the Furies. Being curious he followed them out only to be hit with the realization that he was in a very different world than the one he left. Thankfully Ariadne, Dionysus’s wife, was around looking for someone to play a game with and saw this ancient French kid in the middle of Las Vegas. She noticed his godly signature, picked him up, and promised to explain everything if he could beat her maze. Being a child of Hermes he managed to trick Ariadne into giving him the things needed to escape the maze and as such she upheld her end of the bargain and told him everything he need to know, while also taking him out for some modern clothes. He then spent a bit in Las Vegas before setting off only to stumble a bit too close to Camp Jupiter so the gods were like “Hermes! Restrain your child!” so Hermes went down and directed Oliver to a satyr that would take him to Camp Half Blood. Hermes also gave his son magical winged shoes and his pocket knife. Oliver and the satyr then started their journey east but eventually came across some monsters, including some Scythian Dracanae which killed Oliver’s satyr friend before they could reach Long Island. Oliver got to New York eventually but before he could continue on to Long Island he became friends with a little kid and said little kid’s family surprised adopted him though they were surprised by his lack of existing (aka he wasn’t in any government systems) but Oliver and his new sister managed to fix that with a little bit a hacking. Oliver then got comfortable with his family and decided not to go to Camp Half Blood. And then *boom* Titan war happened. Oliver used his skills to defend his family while they slept and thankfully they all managed to make it through the war, Oliver even managed to help out Percy’s side a bit. Some time after the Titan war Ariadne showed up again and asked Oilver to go track down a nymph friend of hers that had gone missing. Oliver agreed because why not, strapped on his winged shoes and set off to look for the missing nymph. On the way to find the nymph he met Jack (a son of Iris) and together they rescued the nymph and returned her home. Oliver then offered to take Jack to Camp Half Blood or to come home with him to his adopted family. Jack agreed on the latter and he joined the family as well. Oliver afterward decided what the hell and became a demigod rescuer, rescuing them from monsters and directing them towards Camp Half Blood, or to where ever their quest was taking them. (He’s also a little thief on the side lol)

Does anyone have any food habits that’s literally make no fucking sense?

So like its 2 am and my brain has been thinking about this for a while and honestly I feel so bad for my mom, because I know she was right (for once) about certain things that involved food with me growing up.

This turned into me ranting about food.

Like I know that no matter how you cut your toast/sandwich it will taste the same but god damn the triangle cut is the right way. It just tastes wrong when it’s a rectangle or in any other form. (Though with peanut butter sandwiches, crustables are an acceptation)

I also know that Spaghetti sauce that is mixed in with the pasta is exactly the same as it just being place on top of the pasta. But god damn it my brain won’t allow me to eat it if it’s mixed. (Acceptation being when it’s left overs)

Pizza is pizza but circle pizza is superior to sheet pizza fucking fight me

Strawberry Cake pops will and always taste better then regular strawberry cake. (It’s the exact fucking thing different form, and I hate Starbucks cake pops)

Relish is basically pickles but if you even think about bringing that shit near me I will deck you (I love pickles)

Mashed potatoes taste the same whether you mix them with a mixer or not. But, god damn I want them mixed with a mixer even though most times the texture is the same along with flavor.

You can not simply just fucking bake fries and get away with it, they are named fries for a reason so fucking fry them 😡 (for me, I know some people can’t handle grease)

Bananas are bananas but none of them ever taste the same. I know it has to do something with ripeness but for the love of god ice cream shops have the best ones, but if I bite into one and it doesn’t taste right I’m spitting it out.

Trail mixes taste the same whether you eat them randomly or pick and organize all of them and then eat all of the m&m’s first. (Does this stop me from separating it, no)

Anything with coconut can die

Turkey sucks ass on thanksgiving, or the first day it is cooked. It is far superior as left overs even though it’s exactly the same thing.

Eggs are wacky as fuck, scrambled eggs taste amazing and are good for the first two bites and then after it’s immediate regret.

All of Mcdonalds chicken nuggets are the same, but each shape tastes different to me (I worked at Mcdonalds and have cooked and seen with my own eyes that they are all the same)

Anything with the name casserole in it was created from satans balls and deserves to go into purgatory or be force fed to bigots as punishment.

Shepards pie can not be made with cream corn, it just can’t has to be made with regular

Frosting is overrated

Mac and Cheese has to be creamy, for the love of god don’t bake it. (It tastes the same but oh my god)

I can’t eat something sweet with out having something salty after words it’s becoming a problem because there is nothing salty enough in my place

Fruity Pebbles are far superior then coco pebbles

Cheerios are just the boring straight version of fruit loops (spoiler alert no cereal is healthy) ((I could be wrong don’t quote me))

I don’t trust Squash

Pumpkins are overrated but cookies are okay

Banana bread isn’t good without chocolate chips

Also salads aren’t made the same, they have to be at room temp and not wet for me to eat it.

I don’t even know where I went for some of this, I just blacked out and typed 👁️👄👁️ but does anyone else have a weird thing with food? Another one I have is I can’t drink from a can without tapping the top first.

[ephiesoul]

Would you fight God for a corn chip?

I’m not sure, I’m Agnostic..

But! I don’t like corn chips so I probably wouldn’t fight anybody for one. Now upgrade that corn chip to a Gummy worm and ding ding I’ll fight to the death!

[dosthoeyevsky]

Hey fellas, it's still peacemaker brainrot hours and in honour of our adorkable teal blorbo adrian chase's birthday, and it being day 7 of Adrian Chase Appreciation Week, heres a list of presents i believe the other 11th street kids would get him.

Chris

I really dont see chris as a person who buys like physical object presents. Probably because he gives off the vibe that he cant actually wrap a present neatly to save his life. Chris's birthday present to adrian would probably be some kind of activity. Pre-character development i imagine he'd just take adrian out to do target practice in the woods like normal except they're wearing those silly little elasticated birthday hats over their respective headgear and lets adrian pick the music they shoot stuff to. Post-character development if chris learns to appreciate adrian a bit more as a friend either with the "with benefits" suffix or the "boy-" prefix chris decides to go out of his way and get him and adrian convention tickets. Adrian is beside himself with happiness because holy shit peacemaker is taking an active interest in his interests and they go and spend way too much money in artist's alley and pick fights at panels and cheer loudly at the cosplay showcase and eat overpriced food and take photos next to people's buttcracks at the magic the gathering tables and chris probably buys a body pillow and spoons that all night at their hotel and adrian is torn between finding this hilarious and going "god i wish that were me" because regardless of whether you ship them platonically or romantically i'm dead certain that adrian would want to be spooned by chris.

Harcourt

Harcourt strikes me as the kind of person who gives practical presents, something Adrian can use as vigilante. Some ideas

a whetstone for all his knives

a few assorted boxes of different kinds of bullets to play around with

vouchers to an ARGUS-affiliated armour repair specialist so Adrian's gear can get a proper refresh

visor-compatible night vision goggles

a new utility belt

some kind of cloaking device for the sebring because you cant just show up to missions in your civilian vehicle how has nobody figured out your secret identity yet?!

Adebayo

This one goes out to @literatigeek who came up with this idea in the peacemaker discord server, but Leota gets Adrian a weighted blanket shaped like a mermaid tail. And it's teal. Adrian would be in heaven.

Economos

A new chainsaw, probably with a little gift tag that says "sorry about the gorilla incident"

Eagly

SEVERAL dead possums and a few colourful or shiny objects found discarded in the woods. Eagly noticed his humans getting Adrian presents and eating food and decided that maybe if he gives skinny teal glasses man enough shiny things and dead possums, eagly will recieve an ENTIRE BAG of corn chips.

[nenestansunsthings]

a drabble based on tv static?

there wasnt a hermit specified here, so i wrote, uh... a lot of em? but thank you so much for your joe vote, theuwumaster!!! this was very fun to write, so i hope you enjoy :))

____

"This is, by far, the weirdest thing that has ever happened to us."

There's a small murmur amongst the people crowded by the TV, all watching the poll live. Grian truly isn't sure whether its agreement or dissent. They've had some experiences.

This definitely does rank up there as one of the weird ones, though. 100 percent.

"I'm honestly still mad I lost," Jimmy mutters. Grian snorts. As if. You went up against Scott, Timmy. Not a chance. "What! It's true. Don't laugh at me, Grian."

"We put up a good fight," Tango assures him- everyone? Everyone seems to accept it. "Those eight just put up a better one. Or campaigned harder? Could be both."

"I mean, the campaigning is definitely a fight. Joe spent actual, non-diamond money." Xisuma shrugs. "And there's quite a lot of people saying all the art swayed them to vote for someone they'd never heard of before. The campaigns work!"

"So we didn't campaign hard enough..." Scott sighs, slumping down dramatically. "How did we not campaign hard enough? How are we not sexy enough? I was a hot vampire, for god's sakes!"

"Well, Scott Smajor," Charlie Slimecicle says, "it seems they're just hotter. No-one can compete against the Hot Guy."

"There's like seven people trying to compete against Hotguy right now."

"And?"

Grian tunes them out, curling back up and looking at the TV. It's not the best quality- weird interdimensional shows about a past-present-future poll aren't exactly easy to get service for- but it's interesting. Honestly, he's kind of insulted he got kicked off so early. And...

"What're you thinking, Grian?" Pearl asks, nudging him playfully. "Sad you lost to another red bird?"

"They don't even draw his wings red!" he squawks, offended. "But nah. Not really. I've got... other things in mind."

"Hm." Pearl hums. "Like the winner? I mean, I sure hope Cleo wins. It means I didn't lose for nothing."

"Not Scar or Mumbo?" he teases. "Shame on you, Pearl! What happened to Boatem loyalty?"

"I'd sell you all for a single corn chip."

"Ouch." He laughs. "... Hm. Yeah, I was thinking about who'd win. Who I'd want to win."

"Etho for sure!" Joel declares. "I mean, really. Look at him. He got added as a block into Minecraft. He's like the ultimate candidate."

"I think BDubs could surprise us," comes Impulse's addition. "I mean, it's not likely, he's against Cleo, but it sure would be interesting. I'd like to see it."

"Doc, too!" Ren leans forward, stage-whispering like this is a secret. "I mean, have you seen those abs? Those beautiful, beautiful machines? You'd better not forget the power that man holds!"

"If you ask me, I hope Joe wins," Scott chimes in. "I mean, I do know all of you guys, but come on. Joe shot me for being homophobic. Which I'm too gay to be. Legally I have to support him to support the gays. Plus, his fanbase just keeps growing the more he campaigns. He's the surprising underdog in this race." He pauses. "... And I fear for our souls if Cleo wins."

"Aw, Scott! What happened to Double Life loyalty?"

"You are unbelievable, Pearl."

Pearl snickers. From in the back, someone else pipes up.

"I think you all are underestimating someone," Wilbur says with a smile. "It's a shame I didn't have to go up against Quackity this round, but alas. It means poor Mr. Hills has to deal with him alone. My yin is a formidable opponent." He covers a small smile with a gloved hand. "I know that from experience. Very intimate experience."

"Oooh, yeah. And your side of the people will probably be supporting him, too..." Pearl grins. "Nah. No chance. I believe in our viewers. We're gonna have a Hermitsweep on our hands soon enough!"

Wilbur flips her off. She bursts into guffawing laughter.

"Well, okay! I see your point." She slumps over Grian, enjoying how the smaller man yelps at her weight. "What about you, G? You rooting for Scar? I mean, the people love him and his abs. His scitties. And a sidekick has to support his hero, am I right?"

"I still haven't gotten the sidekick clothes off him, Pearl. Not a sidekick yet." He shakes his head. "And anyway, there's only one person I'd support."

He snaps his fingers, and the TV explodes into static, faint flickers of purple glimmering in the grey. The room erupts into protests as the broadcast is cut off.

"Five diamonds per person if you want me to turn it back on, people!" Grian says gleefully. "All proceeds go to the most worthwhile campaign of all!"

A grin splits his face. "Mumbo for Mayor."

[klwl-truck]

2, 7, 9, 21, 25!! You can pick either kny or Haikyuu for this idm :))

I picked kny for this one, since I don’t talk about it as much 😁👍

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

It’s hard to think of characters that I genuinely dislike in kny, since I can appreciate all of them, but I’d have to say it’s Douma for me. Idk I felt like he was over hyped, I never really liked him that much anyways and the way the fandom absolutely eviscerated his characterization dug his grave for me (SPECIFICALLY HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH AKAZA, DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW THE FANDOM FUCKED THAT UP).

9. worst part of canon

Oooh this one’s a hard one, since I like the canon story of demon slayer a lot. But i think it’d have to be the way the characters felt a little,, shallow at times?? A lot of it was just fight after fight after fight and we don’t see much about a lot of characters besides one little exposition piece in the middle of one. I mean hell, a LOT of the info we get about characters isn’t from the main manga itself but from fanbooks made by the creator, so I’ve seen it can be hard for people who aren’t big fans of the show to get what I think can be pretty important information. This is mostly me saying that I wish we got more about each of the pillars individually, since some got a shit ton of backstory and exposition while others (cough himejima cough) got basically a conversation and that’s it.

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

I genuinely can’t think of anything besides maybe the animation on the part of the anime-only fandom?? And maybe mugen train (not saying it’s a bad arc, it’s just insanely overhyped oh my god)

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

Oh my god I am so sick of hearing about the animation from inside and outside of the fandom. SICK. It’s either overhyped to the moon and back (sometimes for good reason I’ll give them that, the animation is good) OR it’s treated like the worst animation in the fucking world. ITS GOOD. ITS FINE. STOP COMPLAINING. NOTHING IS EVER ENOUGH FOR YOU PEOPLE SOMETIMES. They say it’s the best in anime history, but then there’s barely noticeable fish monster cgi and they think it’s the worst animation on the planet (we have the berserk anime, this ain’t nothing compared to that PLEASE). They just don’t stop complaining about every little imperfection in the animation, as if those animators aren’t likely living off a corn chip and diet soda and working 25 hours a day just to meet deadlines, like cmon you people need to be fucking nicer even when you don’t like something. (my point is, sometimes it’s good to shut up 😄)

[possiblytracker]

the food post

vastly superior purple flavour to the blackcurrant back home. dont fucking @ me

chik-fil-a

i am aware i'm getting a mark on my gay card for this one but it was just once, and probably the best chicken sandwich i ever had, but that's probably because uk fast food fucking sucks more than anything. the frosted lemonade changed my life and im so mad(/j) i have morals and will probably never buy it again

meatloaf

disclaimer i helped Make the meatloaf but i did not actually get to eat it it was for someone else. but im minorly worried about what goes into that thing and how you make it. regardless i got the recipe from my brand new southern grandma and am SO excited to terrorise my family with it when i get back they are going to hate it so much, just conceptually

deviled eggs

helped make this too. much like meatloaf i am consistently concerned at the mixtures of ingredients that go into some food here but i did get to try this one and it was pretty good :)

shaved ice

i dont know how quintessentially american this one is but i've never had it before so i'm counting it. very nice and made my tongue red. most flavourings and food colourings that can do that are banned in the uk or slapped behind a "may have adverse effects on children" label so that was a slightly novel experience

philly cheese steak sandwich

good fucking sandwich and i got to get it with not one but Two of my favourite people which just improved the experience all round tbh. so much meat i did not really feel like eating anything else for most of the rest of the day thO

chipotle

babys first chipotle went about as well as you can expect. had first burrito and it was fucking GOOD tho. was also told "hey lets get chips and queso it's like cheese sauce its so good :)" and was not told beforehand that queso has chili in it but it Was really fucking good so i just kinda kept eating it anyway

that one fish sandwich at the seafood bar the other day

i have already posted abt this one it needs no introduction but it was mahi-mahi and it was really good. even if towards the end all i could taste was ranch for the sake of my sanity and my poor white tastebuds. i really did my best im fighting for my fucking life out here

fish dip

it sure was fish!!! very good fish. store was referred to simply as "that place with the dip" and it was one of those unassuming run-down looking places on the side of the road that inexplicably just have godly delicious food so thats how you know its gonna be the best thing youve ever had and it Was

key lime pie

im in florida i couldnt miss this one. lemon pies are already my favourite kind of dessert and it was like that a little to the left and it was really really damn good

beef jerky

i was told that eating this and tearing it apart with your teeth makes you feel like some kind of meat-eating wild animal and this was not an inaccurate description

i Think that's everything i can remember but if i think of more ill tack em on the end here later. enjoy, americans

Shepard AMA Round 4

Even better this time because I've found a keyboard to use with my phone :D As usual, using @spookyvalentine 's list of questions! (Note: A few were answered already & just cut and pasted lol)

Round 1

Round 3

1. When was the last time Shepard cried? - Just after Thane's death. This is another one that may get a full drabble treatment, but the gist of it is: goes to pray because she's taken a lot of hits recently, seeing her husband killed (and because of my developing thoughts on Kepral's and all, his health had probably been improving or at least moderating)? She barely keeps composure in the hospital and by the time she's there to talk to... like her patron goddess at this point, she can get in like three words before just. Completely breaking. Like- she's definitely shed plenty of tears, but usually managed to keep it relatively contained and quiet; this is full on finally raging at the situation she's been herded into and truly swallowed by grief and despair for a little bit.

But there's work to be done, so once she's cried out the worst of it, she picks herself up and gets back to the Normandy. No, she's not fine- but everyone's losing loved ones right now. Hers isn't more special, and she can help prevent there being more.

2. First impression of Miranda—and does it change? - Dangerous. Very, very dangerous and might sell you to satan for one corn chip. While the impression of dangerous doesn't fade, she does come to to respect Miranda's bluntness, and is delighted to count her among 'loyal ally' once Miri gives her resignation on the Collector base.

3. The game Shepard will always win: - She's got some exceptional balance and flexibility that make her a Twister champ.

4. Do they like living on a ship? -It's made up the bulk of her life, disliking it was never really a choice lol. She definitely enjoys it though, it's nice that there's always others around. Even in an apartment situation, she'd find anything else unsettlingly lonely for a while.

5. What skills come naturally to them? - Cooperation and diplomacy, she has a very strong, inherent sense of fairness that is damn near impossible to turn off.

6. What abilities have they worked hard to hone? - All her combat skills, particularly her sniping and biotics. The biotics are an extra point of pride towards the end, since she pretty much had to relearn using them from scratch after being brought back. Also, her language skills, you don't give a debate speech in turian dialect as a kid for nothing!

7. The very first time they killed someone: - At about twenty, and it's not a particularly dramatic story. She was fresh and on a small mission to bolster protection of a colony that had been facing batarian raids. She was positioned high up and far, and did her share of picking off slavers as they came along.

8. Shepard walks into a bakery. What do they order? oh my god I forgot this one

Big slice of black forest cake.

9. How did they feel about being promoted to Spectre? Hollow. Like- Adrian knew, logically, she ought to be overjoyed, this was the pipe dream her parents had had in mind for her, the long shot that was never going to happen but she'd kind of been prepared for just in case. It meant the world to Anderson. It meant so much for humanity. It was a magnificent step in how she could serve the galaxy. She tried to rationalize it as shock, but even to her dying day, she could only muster up empty indifference to that moment.

10. Favorite drinking buddy and why: - Wrex. 1- he can keep up even after the cybernetics. 2- he always stayed pretty calm and had the best stories. (Thane's probably second, even though neither of them go hard- she just very much enjoys barside flirting with him.)

11. What does Samara think of Shepard? - Fairly respectful. Admires Shepard's aim to preserve peace but willingness to fight should the situation call for it, but also finds her a little... overly attached and sentimental, as it were.

12. Where do their thoughts linger? The past, present, or future? - Present, mostly. She doesn't like dwelling on the past, and while she thinks of the future... well, she always dealt with a serious sense of forshortened future, even before dying the first time. Best just to focus on the here and now.

13. It’s Shepard’s turn to cook. What’s on the menu? How does it go? - Cold sandwiches and that's if you're lucky. She's fucked up MREs, over or undercooks meat, and just never nailed timing and often winds up burning things, and once managed to start a fire in the pursuit of sauted onions. (That said, especially being a biotic, she has like 5 varieties of candy and protein bars on her person at any given time. Can't cook, but her squad can always count on having snacks during a mission!)

14. Describe Shepard’s funeral:

Which one?

Her first death was a decent but overall average affair- widely recognized, several speeches from Alliance brass, her parents, Anderson, even some words from the asari Councilor. Some from the Normandy crew, of course. But it comes and goes in a couple of hours, that's about it.

After the battle of London?

The Normandy crew hold one after the crash, even though the ship needs repairs. It won't be confirmed for a while, but they know Shepard's gone, Chakwas has a bottle of brandy and they've got time, now.

There are countless smaller memorial services held throughout the galaxy over the following year, and Shepard is mentioned but not singled out in many- one for lost Alliance soldiers, one for casualties of the Citadel, for casualties of the Reaper war in general, for Spectres killed in action. The dedicated service isn't until the following April 11th.

Shepard had stipulated, that should she be KIA and no remains could be recovered, just make it a celebration of life, no symbolic burial or anything (If there were remains: cremation & scatter at sea. No body this time.) 'Talk, get Ash to read something if you can. Whatever gives everyone closure, I'm not planning on hanging around.'

She hadn't been slacking in helping people before her first death, but her undertakings throughout 2 & 3 see an outpouring of people from across the Milky Way whose lives she directly impacted, there's a solid couple hours for open talk before the prepared speeches start to account for this.

Hannah and Adrian Shepard try to give a second eulogy for their child, and it's painfully apparent that while never outright estranged, there was a rift that never did properly mend.

All the Normandy survivors say something or another. Wrex is the only one who doesn't start straight up crying in some fashion. Garrus can't make it through, and Joker just passed up speaking entirely. Ashley is the last, and ends the event around twilight with a reading of The Old Astronomer.

15. What draws Morinth to Shepard? - Novelty. First human spectre, back from the dead, so notoriously... nice; drawing in and corrupting Shepard would be delicious.  

16. How well does Shepard know Kai Leng? - Not at all. 

17. During a mission, Shepard breaks an arm. Badly. How do they handle it? - That's the risk you take on the field. She doesn't like it by any means, but she'll get it set as best as possible, carry on, and wonder if this will be the new most bullshit thing Chakwas has had to fix on her. (It isn't- that honor still goes to 'being doused head to toe in thresher maw acid and still not coming back to the ship for 4 hours')

18. Three rumors about Shepard:

- Paid off by aliens to sabotage human interests.

- Relies on bribery and threats, her charisma is just Alliance propoganda to get the wider community to accept such a high-profile human.

- A small but very dedicated one: Is the unnamed photographer behind a number of landscape photos that have appeared in Fornax over the last 7 years, as some of them are very hard to access unless you're military or similar, and how the fuck else did Fornax get images of Ilos before anywhere else?! 

19. Table manners? - Flawless when they have to be, decorum was definitely among her lessons growing up. But on an ordinary day... eh. Not a slob, but she will definitely talk with her mouth partially full.

20. What was their first reaction to seeing their glowing scars in 2? - Very fucking unnerved. Of everything that's happened to her, that's probably what gave her the most pause, and she was /very/ glad to see them fade.

21. Why did Nihlus choose to nominate Shepard as a Spectre candidate? - She was pushed on him, really. He was wary about human candidates, considering Anderson's failure, but the Alliance never eased up. Combined with Shepard's history and closeness with Anderson, he felt he'd at least give a token trial. Either she failed and he could at least say he tried, or she surprised them and the Spectres got a solid new addition. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that plan, right?

22. Describe their posture: Most of the time- tall and confident- shoulders back, head up, alert and attentive. Often rigid, even when she's supposedly 'relaxing', ready to go at a moment's notice. (Thane's the only one who's really seen Adrian truly 'down'- she tends to slump and curl into herself a bit and rely on whatever's nearby for support- chair, desk, him, the wall...)

23. Was Shepard born to lead, or was command hoisted upon them? - Yes. With Adrian being a Spacer/Sole Survivor, it's very much a 'yes to both' sort of deal. Her family has longstanding military service, and in my timeline, her parents both served in the Relay 314 incident/First Contact War, her father in particular gaining some notoriety, and her parents definitely pushed for their child to be an absolute pinnacle of humanity. They never thought Spectre was actually a possibility, but they damn well ensured she'd be a good candidate anyway.

She rarely specifically sought out leadership, though- but that wound up being part of why she so often wound up in charge of things. She was competent but not overbearing, good at mediating but kept things in line once a decision was made, and didn't act like she was entitled to boss anyone around. She just gets shit done and people tended to flock to that.

24. Do they fall in love easily? - Define love lol.

Ok for romantic love, no- Adrian would defined herself along the lines 'aromantic until proven otherwise' if pressed for specifics; Thane really took her by surprise. (But under other/broader definitions, oh yes. She loves freely and frequently, even if she never puts it into so many words. Really excited to answer the love languages question in the other set xD)

25. Does Shepard dream of the starchild, or does it take a different form? - So I'm workshopping some ideas with this thing & it's also slowly leaning into just declaring Clarke's Third Law the rule for handling ME's relationship with telepathic/telekinetic shit-

All this to say yes, and yes. It first appears as a child, because it's not used to making connections to individuals and it's learning on the fly- humans are protective of their young, right? But it becomes apparent Shepard isn't more protective of kids than anything else in general, so it slowly shifts tactics- the voices of loved ones, glimpses of old enemies, but it still morphs, until the final confrontation: it imitates Adrian, whole and hale like she'll never be again.

26. A lesson that was hard to learn:

You can't save everyone.

It's arguable if she ever did learn that- related to the above, if she ever did, it was only while talking to some abandoned AI as she was dying.

27. Who was their first crush? - When her parents were stationed to the Citadel when she was around 15, there was a salarian in the area she was kind of into, but for very many reasons that never went anywhere.

28. How do they feel about all the new cybernetics Miranda installed? - Honestly she really digs them. Like- yes it was unconsentual but Adrian never bought into that Ship of Thesus cyberpunk moralizing bullshit. She'd always been fine with bodily augmentation of all sorts, and had even had some done early on in her career.

29. Does Shepard remember dying? - Yes. Goes with an answer from the first set I did, it's slated for a writeup 👀

30. One of the dumbest things they’ve ever done: 'Okay no trust me guys I can drive this at a 90 degree angle right up a mountain this thing kicks ass-'

That was her first ground mission with Garrus and Tali. They were upside down for ten minutes and got so lost, Joker couldn't find them for another 30.

31. What is their favorite story to tell? The one that they get such a kick outta sharing that the gang could probably recite it from memory by now - Garrus and Tali actually do get in on this one since they were there- 'so I managed to talk a completely indoctrinated Saren into shooting himself-'

(Garrus also gets to mouth along to one from the SR2 era, because it was impressive and becomes meaningful but also lost all gravity to him immediately because he got to see Shepard at possibly her most flustered ever as a direct result of it: 'It seemed like an easy enough one, we might not even get invovled in combat, but it'd get Thane some ground time and see how he fit in, you know? But then there's this nest of Eclipse mercs...')

32. What kind of drunk is Shepard? Affectionate, weepy, belligerent…  - Loud and actually close to relaxed for once in her life.

33. Describe their laugh: Warm- like sunlight from late on a summer day over a fast river.

34. What was it like, facing a reaper on foot? - Numb. Like, logically? Terrifying, but so much was happening that she just kind of bypassed terror into pure flow. If asked about it later, she genuinely can't recall anything about the fight.

35. Are there any friendships that form among the crew that surprises Shepard? - Wrex and Ashley. Before Virmire, Wrex had been one of the first to join in Ash's attempt at a book club, and even after, the two seemed to butt heads but like, in a respectful rival sort of way; and they always seemed to fight well together.

Of the SR2 crew: A few (Jack winds up hanging out with Samara- ostenssibly to see if she can make her crack; Grunt spends hours in the armory chatting with Jacob), but the standout moment was Shepard coming back in from a long ground mission to refuel on snacks, only to find a moderately inebriated Garrus and Miranda... basically comisserating on daddy issues. She never brought it up to them. They never said anything to her. But she did ask EDI about it like a week later to make sure she didn't have some kind of hallucination.

36. What sort of thrills do they purposely seek out? - Fight Big Thing On Foot. Yeah, anyone can take out something with a tank canon, but bringing it down with smaller guns and way less armor is phenomenal.

37. The first speech Shepard ever gave. How’d it go? Poorly, but she was like 13. Mock debate about how humanity should go about interacting with wider galactic society. Shepard was assigned the more... 'pro-human' side. Her speech itself was technically fine (re: prepared by her dad because 'the Shepards have a reputation to maintain, dear'), but she failed & got a hell of a lecture for giving it in a (very broken, admittedly) turian dialect.

38. Do they celebrate holidays? Which is their favorite? - She's almost always up for celebrating a holiday, but her favorite is, oddly, New Year's! All of them. She likes the energetic, hopeful vibes they give everyone, and how it seems to be one that shows up in all species and tends to carry similar rituals. (There's three she gets the most involved in though, are: the galaxy Citadel standard, the one set by Earth's Gregorian calandar, and one following Rakhana's lunar cycle.)

39. Longest friendship? - Joker. In my canon, I like the idea that Shepard & Joker crossed paths a bunch growing up and were pretty good friends, keeping up online when they had to be apart. She tried to get assigned to ships he was piloting, and they were absolutely thrilled to show up to the Normandy and find each other.

40. What does Udina think of Shepard? - Hates her. Like, deep, visceral hatred for her. She could be the shining beacon of human interest and advancement, and instead, she's more interested in playing nice with the Council and has directly stated her refusal to put humanity first. So much potential, absolutey wasted.

41. If they were sent back to any moment in time, when would it be, and what would they change? - She's really not sure. Akuze is obviously the first thing that comes to mind, but... as much as she's ashamed of her actions, she can't deny that she vastly prefers living to dying, and she doubts she'd be able to get them to leave. Maybe Eden Prime - if there could be any way to warn Nihlus?

42. What song is their anthem? - The Fly

43. They come into an insane amount of money. How do they spend it? - Donate it/split it up amongst her friends. She doesn't feel she needs all that much, really.

44. What sort of relationship does Shepard have with the council? - Rough. She wants and tries to work with them as much as possible, but also oh my god will you get your heads out your collective ass/cloacas. (She also has very choice words for the idea of the council only being representative of three/four species of the like, dozen or so who agree to abide by Citadel law...)

45. Three things Shepard is bad at:

- Cooking anything more advanced than 'cold meat + cheese + berad'

-Saying 'no' when someone asks for help, even if they're clearly shady as fuck

-Driving.

46. Favorite candy? - Cotton candy. (Or anything that's vaguely fruity flavored sugar, really.)

47. Who is Shepard’s date to the Citadel party? - Sadly she never got that experience xD

48. What is Thane’s fate? - Died from injuries sustained defending the council- pretty true to canon tbh, but injuries that were severe enough he'd have died Kepral's or not. (Honestly as much as I love the final scene, I'm also a bastard who sometimes wants to say he was just DOA.)

49. What’s the perfect lazy-day shore leave? - Docked at one of the major ports, everyone gets an extra hour or so of time to sleep/fuck off as desired. Adrian herself usually tries to spend some time with a few people through the day (although Garrus and Tali are almost always a package deal lol), and if timing lines up well with Citadel stops she and Joker try to catch a meal with Anderson. SR1 era tended towards big group dinners out, SR2 era usually sees Shep & the crew picking up fresh supplies and heading back to the ship early to cook- usually it's Gardner, but some of the others pitch in here and there. And as things progress, of course, she and Thane do try to get some time out together.

50. What’s do they think of the leviathan? - Lack of DLC strikes again xD But I can give a thought there that to some level, she would find them amazing - she's always found deep ocean life fascinating and something that's still a source of mystery among most worlds. They're awesome in the classic sense of the word, almost sort of the realization of a dream.

+1. How long can Shepard hold their breath? - Her best time was nearly 7 minutes, averages around 5 & a half; N7 training and a love of swimming really helps. I imagine post cybernetics, it might be increased even further.
