If the 141 were in Mass Effect, you know everyone single one of them would be an N7. In the Systems Alliance for Earth in Mass Effect that’s the most elite, top tier, badass rank you can get. Ghost having a pet- *cough* trained varren was @starlightvld ‘s idea. Boo has adopted Soap until Shepard’ been set loose (though you know Price would totally break them out). Instead of calling them muppets, Price calls them all pyjaks (space monkey) because he was a krogan in another life.

As I doodled and tried to figure out their classes, I had this idea of Price starting a task force of N7s to help Shepard in the war against the reapers.

Bad For You 18/28

Pairing: Howie Stark x Reader

Warning: Fuckboy manners. Violence. Reader gets cheated on. Language. Lies. Flirting. Cattiness. Arguing. A few slaps. Sassiness. Slutty boys. Frat Boy bullshit.

A/N: College AU. For my sister, cause I finally gave in. Haha.

“You don’t know me like that.” “Mmm bet I do, baby girl. You want a bad boy who will be good for only you. I’m that guy. Like I want a good girl who’s bad for only me. That’s you, baby girl.”

Howie Stark made one hell of an impression. It started off with mistaken identity. A hand on your ass, your hand across his cheek. What should have pissed him off, set him off differently. Howie Stark is enticed by you and you are so fucked. Bad boy, never afraid of a fight, such a smooth talker, womanizer, and always on your mind. It just wasn’t fair. It wasn’t right, you have a boyfriend. Howie’s making everything’s a little blurry. You’re a little cynical and bad boys just aren’t your type. Or could that change with a flash of Howie’s crooked grin?

Tag List Is Open!!

“Let’s have a lazy day.” Howie leans over you, still lying in his bed.

“Here or my place?” You stretch.

“Yours.” He leans down pressing a delectable kiss on your lips.

“Can I wear just your sweater?” You lift a brow, pushing yourself up. Holding the sheet to your body.

“Fuck yes.” He grins, slipping from his bed. He grabs a sweater out of the laundry basket on the dresser, tossing it at you.

“You have yourself a deal.” You smirk, getting out of bed. You pull on your clothing quickly, shoving the other things into your overnight bag. Howie is scrolling through his texts, his brow pinched together.

“How?” You sit on the edge of the bed. His head comes up, blinking as he finds you dressed.

“Sorry, what?” He smiles.

Something just slightly off about him since last night. Whatever happened that had him running off with the guys. He said it wasn’t a big thing, but he didn’t let you out of arms reach the rest of the night. He’d been strangely more affectionate than normal. Reminding you, you were his and how he belonged to you.

“You okay?” You run a hand through your hair, watching him.

“Yeah. Yeah. Just the guys checking in.” He shoves his phone into his sweatpants pocket.

“You sure? You’ve been a little off.” You shrug. His makes him stop, staring at you. “Did something happen?” You wonder.

“Nothing. Promise.” He comes towards you pulling on a T-shirt.

He dips his head, kissing you. His hands holding the sides of your face. His mouth claiming your own. Something so close to possessiveness coming off him.

“You know,” his fingers slip into your hair, his forehead resting on your own “I’m so lucky you’re all mine.” He spoke softly between the two of you.

“Yeah, you are. Better remember that.” You crinkle your nose at him playfully. He breaks into a grin, kissing you once more.

“Come on. Let’s get donuts and spend the day in your bed.” He grabs your hands, pulling you up. Letting go of one hand, he grabs your bag. Maybe it really wasn’t anything, you were just paying too close attention to his habits. 

------- 

His hand tucked behind his head, staring up at the ceiling. Trying to push his brothers text from his mind. Knowing Peter was right, he needed to keep her away from the campus until they knew if anything was going around. It didn’t make him feel less guilty, but he couldn’t deny liking the idea of keeping her in bed with him.

Her alarm goes off, making her stir. She pouts into her pillow, he grins, rolling to his side. He pushes up on his elbow, leaning over her, turning off the alarm on her phone. His head dips, pressing a soft kiss to the spot just below her ear. She shivers, the corner of her mouth tugs up.

“You kept me up too late.” She mumbles into her pillow. She wasn’t wrong, he did.

“I swear you enjoyed it.” He chuckles softly. Trailing a kiss from the spot below her ear down the curve of her neck.

“Howie.” She whines softly. Not yet awake, too tired to really fight. Kisses turn to soft nips, she wiggles at the change. “Class.” She pouts.

“Skip it.” He chuckles into her shoulder. Slipping his hand over her ribs, and down her side. Coming to a stop at her hip, he grips it. Making her sigh in frustration.

“I’m a good girl, I don’t skip.” She huffs as he pushes on her hip. Shifting over her, settling on top of her.

“I can name a few things just from last night, that aren’t good girl.” He chuckles. His hand slips down her hip, brushing softly over her thigh, before gripping her knee. He tugs up, hooking it at his waist.

“I swear, if I didn’t know better.” She smirks, blinking still groggy eyes up at him. “I’d think you were trying to fuck me into submission.” She slips her hands up his stomach to his chest.

“Why would I do that?” He chuckles softly. Sitting up right, so he’s sitting back on his heels between her legs. “I like when you bite back.” He winks at her. She laughs, dragging her hand over her face. “Skip class, we’ll do something extra bad.” He slips his hands up her thighs.

“Extra bad?” She lifts a brow.

“Anything you want.” He nods. His fingers playing with the end of his T-shirt covering the top half of her body.

“Hmm.” She chews her bottom lip. It does what it always does, pulling his attention to her mouth instantly.

“If you want to go to class, I’m going to have to ask for my shirt back.” He points out, her eyes drop to her chest as do his. “And we both know how that’s going to end up going.” He shrugs.

“I see you’ve backed me into a corner.” She nods slowly, a smirk on her lips.

“I’m going to need my shirt back, baby girl.” He drags his teeth over his bottom lip.

She sits up suddenly, chest to chest with him. Tugging his T-shirt over her head, messy hair and warm skin. Her head tips as she holds it up between the two of them. Always so challenging, his girl didn’t back down. 

------------ 

He drops into a chair in the living room. He’d spent the day with Y/N, he kept his promise of doing something extra. She wanted to go get a tattoo, something she really secretly wanted to do. He dropped her off, knowing MJ was coming over for study group.

“Where were you all day?” Steve smirks.

“Doing what Peter told me to do.” Howie nods, a small smile plays on his lips.

“I said keep her away from campus, not spend the day knocking her up.” Peter laughs.

“Shut up.” Howie laughs, shaking his head.

“What did you two do?” Clint lifts a brow.

“Slept in, had coffee, lunch, she got a tattoo.” He smirks.

“No shit. What?” Buck laughs.

“Ah it’s three balloons, going up the under of her forearm and the strings write out, Adventure Begins.” He nods.

“Actually fitting for her.” Sam nods.

“What do we know on our end?” Howie scraps his hand down his face.

“Nobody is talking about it. We even leaked the break in and had some of the girls mention it. Nobody is talking.” Clint scratches the back of his head.

“Do we know more about the break in?” He swallows.

“Howie, they went through our current books.” Peter guts him.

“Fuck.” He couldn’t even swallow the lump in his chest.

“But it was Steve’s that was folded flat recently.” Buck explains.

“Fuck.” Howie drops his head into his hands. Elbows resting on his knees.

“There’s something else.” Clint waits a moment. “All our books were opened and flattened to this semester.” Howie felt like he was going to throw up.

“How are we going to get ahead of this?” He looks up.

“It depends what they do with the info that they got. On who.” Peter shoves his fingers through his hair.

“And if they go to Y/N?” Howie croaks out.

“I mean,” Buck sighs.

“There isn’t anything but her name on the page.” Steve nods.

“But her names on the fucking page. She was a list girl.” Howie bites out.

“It looks bad, yeah.” Peter nods.

“I have to tell her.” Howie jumps up.

“Good luck.” Steve nods.

Howie pulls his phone out, heading up the stairs. He calls dropping on his bed.

“Babe!” She laughs, it’s loud. Several voices, music and what he was sure was a blender in the background.

“Hey I need to talk to you.” He swallows. A pit opening up in his chest.

“We’re making margaritas and dishing. Call you later?” She asks.

“Ah, yeah. Sure. Sure.” He manages to get out.

“Okay. I love you. Bye babe!” She laughs. He sits up right instantly.

“What?” He asks, but she’s already hung up. He quickly texts her.

Howie: You hung up on me. Y/N: Shit sorry! Howie: I’m calling back.

He waits till she answers the phone again. It’s only slightly less louder, like she walked out of the kitchen.

“Sorry.” She laughs.

“I love you too, Y/N.” He blurts out. She’s quiet for a moment.

“I know it’s only like a few months, sorry.” He could hear the small smile on her lips.

“I’m not. I’ve been falling in love with you since you slapped me.” He smiles softly.

“I think I have too.” She laughs.

“Thank you.” He swallows.

“For what?”

“Changing my life. Changing me. Into the lucky bastard who managed to make you fall in love with him.” He admits.

“Yeah, well you changed me too.” She admits. “Ugh. The girls are yelling for me. I’ll call you later.”

“Of course. Have fun.” He nods.

“Love you.”

“Love you too.” She’s gone and the pit in his chest rips open twice as wide. 

He’s staring at his phone in his hand when someone knocks on his door. He looks up in time to see Peter open his door. Leaning on the frame, they watch each other for a moment. They looked more like twins, and less like their mother.

“Didn’t do it, did you?” Peter nods.

“Pete.” Howie swallows, his voice cracks. “I can’t lose her.” He admits, looking down at his phone.

“You’re in deep, How.” Peter nods.

“I’m fucking in love with her, Pete.” Howie scraps his hand down his face.

“Fuck.” Peter whispers.

[retrauxpunk]

Rain, I ask you: ALL the quarantine asks!

Animated character that was your gay awakening? not really an ‘awakening’ so much as a ‘hint’, but Azula from Avatar: the Last Airbender ... yep

Grilled cheese or PB&J? GRILLED CHEESE

What show/YouTube video(s) do you put on in the background when you when you don’t have anything to watch but you want something on? I don’t really experience this mood, but my go-to watch is the vlogbrothers YouTube channel

Your go-to bar order, if you drink? if it’s a low-key/work outing, lager or cider (esp the ones with non-apple fruits too); if it’s getting more serious (lol) or with closer friends or a more celebratory mood: vodka with sparkling apple juice

What’s your favorite pair of shoes that you own? these Doc Martens that are white with red hearts got ’em with my first ever full time design job paycheck. i did not take care of them well so they’re super scuffed/beat-up and very much not Perfectly White ... but they’re still comfy as heck, i still love the design, and they’ve lasted 3 years so far, let’s see how much longer we can make it ... also i think they’re a limited edition so i likely won’t get my hands on any replacements...

Top three cuisines? my cheap-ass answer would be, like: East Asian, South-East Asian, Western European ... but my non-shit answer is... Japanese, Chinese, Italian (ftr i’m not a seafood fan ... i just love the ramen and non-seafood stuff that japan makes hehe)

What was your first word as a child (that wasn’t a variation of “Mom” or “Dad”)? i have no clue

Brunch or midnight snacks? ehh fuck it, both???? both!!

Favorite mug you own easter limited edition waitrose mug, squat and round and yellow, painted/shaped like a very round chick. a Borb,,,,

What coffee drink would you describe yourself as? i actually thought about this and, uh, peppermint mocha. not for everyone, slightly weird, never fitting in with the regulars/being a default, but???? obviously awesome?? also: about 65% on the mainstream/hipster scale

Pick a song lyric to describe your current mood (and drop the name and artist!) The Wombats is the artist. lyrics are either “Let's dance to Joy Division / and celebrate the irony / Everything is going wrong, / but we're so happy” from Let’s Dance to Joy Division or “the edge of nowhere’s such a beautiful place” from Emoticons

Fruity or herbal teas? herbal but i agree with @queenofslime, black tea is the best

What’s that one TV show that you’re a little bit embarrassed to watch but you still like nonetheless? ...do i experience embarrassment about what i like to watch on TV? i don’t know if i do, because i watch relatively few shows ... and have relatively little shame? maybe???

Have you ever been to jail? to closed-down ones, yep

What’s your opinion on Lazy Susan’s (the spinning tray in the middle of tables)? pretty great idea unequivocably, right?

Puzzles? i tend to enjoy riddles/lateral thinking puzzles, i am impartial about jigsaw puzzles. i enjoy escape rooms.

Rainbows, stars, or sunset colored clouds? sunset-coloured clouds :)

If you could own any non-traditional pet (dogs, cats, fish, rodents, etc), what would it be? how about a shapeshifting feathered dragon that could range from, like, two thirds of a foot long (20cm) to sit on your shoulder, to ... the size of a massive draft horse? (but longer and thinner)

A song you didn’t think you’d enjoy but ended up loving hmmmmm like all of Linkin Park’s first three albums with some exceptions? hahahah

Pick an old-school Disney Channel Original Movie i don’t think i.....know any????

Are you a “Quote that relates to the photos” caption-er, an “explanation of where I took the photos” caption-er, or a no caption kinda person when you post pictures online? explanation, though on instagram quite often the photo and caption are unrelated

Name a classic Vine there’s only one thing worse than a rapist...

What’s the freezer food that you stock up on when you go to the grocery store? dumplings! as in the gyoza type.

How do you top your ice cream? that ‘magic’ chocolate sauce that hardens into chocolate. that stuff. i watched those ads all childhood long but my parents were immigrants and therefore very thrifty so we NEVER bought it iirc and then in my adulthood i got it a bunch of times. but now i live in the uk and can’t find it. and forgot it existed. and have never seen it anywhere.

How are you at climbing trees? not............ good. i mean, i like climbing, but i have absolutely terrible upper body strength. i did bouldering for a couple months but only stuck to the first like... three out of nine difficulty levels.

[snarkandsarcasmftw]

tag games, ftw

I was tagged by both @rampagewriting and @heelsamizayn to answer this and it seems like a fun time and my brain’s being a bag of dicks rn, so whhhhy not... Here we go.

0) Name/Nickname? If ya wanna share it.

Ashley, AA, Snark - mostly on here. Oh and lil bit, but... family only.

1) If you could bring any two fictional characters (from books or film/tv) into the same world who would they be, what world would you put them in, and what would their relationship to each other be?

Uhhh... Uhhh... Okay, alright, hm... This is going to be an unconventional answer but.. I’d take Bucky and Cap and I’d drop them right into the middle of The Walking Dead. Hear me out.. They’re both military trained / enhanced superheroes and they can walk that line of having compassion and being totally ruthless if they must. I think it’d be neat. They’d be friends / psuedo brothers, of course.

2) If you could drop yourself into any fictional world from books or film/tv, which would it be?

Oh god, oh noooo.. Every part of the fifteen year old trapped within my old woman body is screaming at me to answer Harry Potter -cos magic.. But.. I’m going with The Walking Dead. Just for the simple fact that I could smack both Lori and Dale Horvath in the back of the fuckin head.

Alternately.. I’d really wanna hunt vampires with Edgar and Allen Frog, and the eighties were my shit, so.. That too.

3) What’s your spirit animal?

A cat or a raccoon. I have under eye circles, stay up late, eat only junk and I’ll bite if you take my food plus kinda chonky ( raccoon) and I like to take naps, I’m... adamant about cleaning / grooming plus, I like to sit around and give people side eye when they’re doing dumb shit. ( cat.)

4) What is the most unpopular opinion you hold?

NO. NOPE. NOT ANSWERING. ISSA TRAP.

Okay, since I obviously have to put something here, I’ll say it. And I’ll start with wrestling:

Seth Rollins is vastly overrated and I don’t get the whole.. Attraction to him. And the same goes for Cody Rhodes. Also, is it just me or are his fucking intros too long? Idk, maybe that’s me and my lack of patience. If you like either of these, sorry, continue to do you, but.. I’m not a fan and I honestly don’t particularly care about either and this is my own personal opinion. I’m allowed to have one. I’m not saying bad shit about either guy here, if you take it that way, it’s your own damn problem? I’m not telling you not to like them. I’m simply saying I do not.

As far as media goes : Fifty Shades of Gray is fucking dumb. I mean.. 10 page contract.. to get what has to be mediocre dick, at best? And it’s not even written with any regards to true BDSM concepts for the most part? Nah. I’ll pass. 

And now, for one about our current situation: I think the idiots who hoarded TP at the beginning of this should be allowed to return things.. Provided it’s unopened, they have a receipt, and they don’t see a fucking dime of the money they spent and that the money from the returns goes to masks / other methods of protection for front line workers or straight into the unemployment packages and the stimulus thing. Like literally, the hoarder gets nothing, people who need TP / sanitizer / etc get UNOPENED NEW PRODUCTS and the front line workers get the proceeds of the voided returns. We all win here. (I realize this probably cannot happen, but. It’s one way to kind of... help this current shit show we’re all trapped in.) 

5) How do you like to style your hair most often?

Uhh.. Down. I’m too goddamn lazy to be bothered.

6) I always love this overdone question - you’re allowed three books on a desert island, what do you bring? (Note: Survival Guides don’t count).

The Shining, The Dark Towers series - Stephen King, The Client - John Grisham and The Outsiders - S.E Hinton

7) Something new you’ve learned in quarantine/lockdown/corona times?

That no matter how hard I try, I cannot apply false lashes. That more than two noisy things going in the background is TOO MUCH. Oh and I’m pretty damn good at baking when I bother to try / don’t toss out the directions.

8) Favorite alcohol? (Or non-alcoholic beverage if you don’t drink!)

Haven’t drank in... a while-ish. But my favorite thing to drink when I do is vodka or tequila. Occasionally White Claw ( i know, i know.). Favorite non-alcoholic beverage is water lately.

9) Music you can’t stand? Music you love?

I’m gonna get torn the fuck apart for this but yolo.. I can’t get into K-Pop. I’ve tried. It’s just.. It’s up there with new pop for me. Older boy bands / pop stars? Not a problem. I just don’t like a lot of pop music and I can’t get into K-pop. If you like it, awesome. It’s just not for me personally. Beyond that? I love literally any other kind of music. I have a veeeery varied eclectic listening preference but my all time favorite? 80′s glam / pop or country.

10) Have a favorite herb?

FIRST OF ALL.. GARLIC.. yeah, it’s not a herb buuuut... yeah.. Anyway, for actual herbs..Basil, Rosemary and Sage.. Oh and cilantro. Cilantro will save your ass in a pinch. 

11) What kinds of cups/glasses/bottles do you prefer to drink out of?

My big tol cold cup. Or.. my stemless plastic wine glasses, of which I have apparently lost.

12) Preferred mode of communication: texts, phone calls, emails, letters?

Text or email. I’m not... fond of making calls, but I will if I have to. I prefer texts or email. Oh, I do enjoy writing letters now and then.

13) What is your favorite weather?

Not too hot, not too cold. Not too sunny but not overcast and gray either. A light breeze. NO POLLEN.

14) What kind of lighting do you like?

Softer lights, for the aesthetic.. Overhead lighting, so my blind ass can... yannow... see. If I had my way, I’d have candles and string lights every where though.

15) What is the best thing you cook?

Honestly, I feel like it’s my chili or my stew. Alternately, husband seems to ask for chicken / bacon / ranch pasta casserole a lot, so... Idk.. I guess pretty much anything (except fucking hamburger helper, i can NEVER get this shit right, despite directions, sacrifices to the culinary gods and pleas/promises of my first born. It always turns out icky so I never cook it.) 

16)  Do you have a favorite font to write in?

Handwriting or typewriter fonts for the most part. Roboto when I’m writing / editing my own fics and such.

17) What is something you’ve always wanted to write in a fic, but you’ve been too afraid to? Or, what is something that you were afraid to write, but then you did and it ended awesome?

Honestly, I’m scared to death to write smut. Which is why I’ve been trying to write more of it lately. I won’t say it’s going awesome ( I’m pretty sure some of you sit and read it when I post and are like what the fuck... this isn’t realistic and this is so bad.) but it’s going.

I’ve wanted to dip my toes into writing for more obscure fandoms too. Like ones that I personally enjoy. As far as something I’ve always wanted to write? Horror. But I’m scared to death I’d fuck it up.

18) If you were in your favorite fantasy world, what would your weapon of choice be?

A sword or a knife. Machete, maybe?

19) Is there a commonly used expression/saying that you can’t stand?

While I agree with the answers J and K put to this “It’s in God’s hands, etc” - sometimes things are GOD AWFUL. The last thing I want to hear is what the reason God had for doing it is. So don’t tell me. 

Triggered is a useful term.. if it’s used right. And I’m starting to realize that 95 percent of people DO NOT know the proper use. They think that being triggered =‘s a reason to bitch and tear someone apart over some miniature thing they’ve done. So now, when I hear it being misused, it fucking annoys me.

20) What is something that you would like people to know about you?

I’m a grumpy ball of rage. I’m petty as fuck and saltier than all the oceans combined in the right circumstances. But.. I can be a nice person and I love getting to know people and helping people or talking to them. Even if it’s hard for me to start it off bc I’m fucking awkward as fuck also - hence the reason it takes a while for me to actually... attempt... conversing with new people both IRL and on here.

I’m gonna leave this open to anyone who wants to do it bc Idk who has or hasn’t already and I don’t want to annoy people. 

This was a blast!

Well then! Got my beta pass today. Curiosity satisfied. Bad taste left over, (and not just from the mojitos.)

I was on the fence about Campus Life and wanted to give it a try, but I'm edging my feet over towards no now. Yes, it’s just one episode, but when it’s not right, you just know. I’ve put down books after reading a chapter or two because they held no interest. And that’s okay.

To be perfectly honest, my interest in the MCL universe has been fading for a while now. The past few episodes were pretty meh. They felt rushed and generally unsatisfying, like someone roughly pushing you out of the house because they don’t want you to see the body in the closet 'Thanks-for-coming-see-you-later-okay-bye'. Episode 40 aka the Finale was just... the cherry on the sour sundae. And that sex scene! I like a nice big helping of sin, but it has to flow with the story. (I like my porn with plot, is that so much to ask?) And this was... awful and super-forced like the 'now kiss' meme. Especially sweet Lysander's. Here's this angel baby, talking about antiquing, and poetry, and how he's a pure unicorn who's never had a girlfriend before, and how much he loves and treasures Candy and she's like 'mm-hm, that's nice, let's bang'. Seriously girl?! I would just cuddle the hell out of him and call it a successful night. (Sex is neat-o and all, but cuddles FTW.)

And while that episode left a bad taste in my mind, I was still excited for the University sequel. I didn’t mind a break up ‘cause I assumed (a safe assumption in an otome game, yes?), there would be a make up. I was curious to see the new settings, how the characters grew up, how they changed or not, their new redesigns, their new stories, etc.

Which brings me back to the beta. (Sorry, took the scenic route there.) The graphics are truly beautiful. The animations are... amusing. A lot of the old supporting cast is here. We find out what happened to the guys who are not there. It has a familiar vibe, like watching a once-fave show after it jumped the shark in season six and became utter shite.

For me personally, there are two cementing factors why I most likely won’t be continuing with the game if it stays as is:

1) The new AP system. Movements are free, but every line of dialogue you click on costs 2AP. Seriously. The first episode was just under 1k for me. It would take a really long time to collect that many points naturally and the story is in no way interesting enough for me to pay real money for.

2) Quite honestly, none of the datable characters caught my eye... in this dating game.

Here’s the buffet on offer:

Hyun - Will probably be the most popular new character. (That's my bet anyway). He's got that whole soft cinnamon roll thing going on which is totes on trend right now, but that has never been my thing. I like cinnamon rolls for breakfast. For my pixel harem I like angst with a dash of sin.

Rayan I-have-a-last-name-I'm-so-fancy The prof who looks like he's mentally undressing you with every arch of his brow and has young ladies gathering around him like fruit flies on a rotten apple. Now, I have nothing against the whole hot-for-teaching meme. Hell, my Candy would be down for it 'cause it works with her rebel child personality. However, while someone like our favourite bumbling history teacher, who was charming in his awkwardness, would be fun to romance, Rayan the undead lounge lizard is sketchy fucker. (By the way, the whole trend of loafers with no socks? Needs to die. And button up your damn shirt, man! You're a professor! Ugh.)

Priya - I don't even want to be friends with this girl. *shrug* So... yeah, no.

Castiel - The notorious Cassychu, the one of the perma-scowl and bad-boy tats and poor hairstyle and lifestyle choices. Candy already dumped him once. Will she want to take him back?! Probably. She clearly has major issues when it comes to understanding how relationships function.

Mysterious fifth character to be revealed at a later time. (Do we get to vote on which one of the lost boys we get to bring back? Oh wait, no, that's democracy. Sorry! Forgot myself for a moment.) My guess? Most likely it will be Nathaniel who became a dude-bro likes a bit of a party now. Rock on, Nath. Rock on.

*pulls an Eldarya and sets crush to no one*

It was fun while it lasted but now it's time for something new. And by new I mean re-reading the SLBP Shigezane route. My precious <3

That’s about it! Some more randomness below.

random comments from my play-through + points of interest

Rosa and Candy lost touch 'cause this is the dark ages of communication before phones. (JK. Candy is a lazy fuck who can't be bothered. Relationships are not cacti, Candy!)

After four(!) years of silence, this little shit Candy appears back on the scene again to pursue her lame degree and everyone just accepts her back into the fold like nothing happened. The hell?! I'm not saying give me telenovela levels of drama, but c'mon!

The only happy ending Lysander got was in Episode 40. That sweet child. </3

These animations are... hilarious. (They can be turned off). The randomly jiggling boobs are the best thing! Any girl will be standing there and outta nowhere boop-boop. *snort* Did they look at any breasts before animated these, or did they use a custard as inspiration?

Chani is precious.

Why is Melody here? Oy... Still a teacher’s pet. (Yet she gets annoyed when I say she hasn’t changed? Lie to yourself much, Melody?) Probably still holds a torch for Nathaniel but won’t admit it. Mean-funny scene if you invite her but not Chani to drinks. Your pals are not excited about seeing wet-blanket Melly.

Our roommate has a stick so far up her ass she's sitting on top of the Eiffel tower. Dunno who spat in her oatmeal, but I left the spilled paint on her bed and called it karma.

The Cozy Bear Cafe sounds like some sort of sweet lolita place... but it isn’t... False advertising much?

Rayan stop staring at me, you zombie creeper.

Mojitos or beer. Those are my sedative options. Awesome. Can’t even get a decent drink around this joint. (If you ask why mojitos, it doesn’t translate as ‘where’s the wine’. You get lemonade instead. -_- )

I will say this, the backgrounds are gorgeous. They don't match the art style of the characters, but they're stunning. The park is incredible.

The black in the outfits is true black, so you can satisfy your inner goth child or chic Parisienne all you want. The hair is still a blue-black though, like a raven’s wing.

The petal game is still there. You will need it.

Originally one of two doodles inspired by Gummichii’s fic Hypothermic Heartaches, I decided to make a bunny!Soap instead of Soap discovering Ghost’s ‘secret’ when I ran out of time.

Thank you @peachflavouredicetea for finding the fic for me!!

This went from a reunion pic post MW3 in the Exclusion Zone to a general reunion pic with comfort tiddies and booty.

Thanks to interest shown, I got this little gem finally done! Thanks guys!!

Dammon is a service top who works with his hands and he would totally make their wedding clothes. I ship them in a cis het and trans het way.

I finished this while drunk at a Halloween party, don’t judge me

Price adopts Lt Kaidan Alenko into the 141 as their resident combat medic. Probably because for all their efficiency, the 141 still take a lot of damage and certain sergeants keep getting up to Shenanigans.

Leon is totally That Asshole. Chris gives him shit about drinking and Leon gives him shit about smoking. Yes he’s popping gum on the cigarette to settle a disagreement.

Also Nadia.
