#marius shepard

[polarlys]

Marius Shepard: maybe not the most baby faced Shep of all time, but he’s probably up there as a worthy contender!

I wanted to paint him again to better find his face, and I feel really happy with it this time around. I don’t know that I feel entirely finished with it, but I don’t want to work on it any more, so off to the internet it goes! Please enjoy my sweet little Butcher of Torfan!

[journal-number-3]

Skrimm, when the other souls make fun of him for getting tricked: fine laugh all you want, but-

*points to Shepard* followed a crazy wizard to vampire town

*points to Felix* joined an evil army and committed war crimes

*points to Marius* was seduced by vampire concubine

*points to Torbek* joined a horrible carnival and didn't get paid

*points to Vandrys* fucked a chicken!

[chaoticmannamedoliver]

If you could assign each Mech a pet, what would you give them?

Aaaaalright here we go. Ive been waiting for this cauuuuuuse headcannons :>

I hc that carmilla made mech pets for most mechs

(sure it might not fit with the timeline but shush. She mechs performances also had different times of when in the future tims whole thing happens.)

Aaaaanyway.

Jonny d'ville would have a rat. Which he named gentleman

I think ashes would have a lizard or reptile of some kind? Leopard gecko maybe? Or those spiky ones that can drink from their backs kfjsjdn

The toy soldier would have frogs. I think its obvious WHY. Any kind of frog. All of them. And it will get sad when they die

Raph n ivy seem like barn owl people to me, though i could imagine a cat for ivy too

Tim? Hmm...dunno why but a really playful n fluffy german Shepard for him

Brian? Hm a cat maybe? I think that brian is a walking heater so the kitty would LOVE to just lay on him

Marius? Ah- hmm. I mean, id say cat but one, thats boring, and two, his death...soooo....hmm. fox. Like just imagine he gave his pet fox glasses n a lil hat- and pretend it was also a doctor. He seems silly like that. N after that? Fucking raccoons. I like making mari be a silly lil guy. Cause he is.

Nastya...she- hm- i do not have a mech pet for her either...since in my headcannon she refused any pet carmilla tried to give her...id go with a protective animal though? Hell fuck it. Domesticated snow leopard.

I know these animals don't make sense, but they feel right to me? Ya know? N hell - maybe they WILL end up as their mech pets cause not everyone had one yet.

tag game. list the fics in your works in progress folder. tagged by @im-an-angy-alpaca (thank you!💖)

girlies the amount of wip that have at least 1k to them in my drive is unfathomable and these two are really the only ones that i am actively working on (or thinking of the idea of working on, which counts!) currently

no rules in breakable heaven - darius/rosa one night stand turned to friends with benefits. i wrote nearly 50k for this, scrapped some of it, wrote some more, decided to make it a oneshot instead before going right back to my 50k. i think the biggest struggle is pinning down rosa. since we only really have scatterings of her background, i have to conjure up a solid throughline for her based on conjecture and headcanon on what i characterize her need, flaws, and their foundations to be while also being consistent with what's established. with darius, it's much simpler because i'm starting off with a blanker slate in comparison. my process has been a mess. lol it will be posted once i'm complete with the whole thing (not just the chapter); just not sure when.

here, and where you are - shinkane pride and prejudice au. i have no excuse for this one because everything's practically outlined. someone already wrote a whole ass novel for me. i'm just too wrapped up in no rules to have the time and attention to give this its proper due.

and here's a smattering of things i've written sizeable chunks for that aren't dead but are in a coma and i do revisit their ward from time to time to drop a line or idea or two

the greatest films of all time were never made - artem character study where artem never confesses and he has to watch rosa marry marius lmao 😭

two untitled artemrosa smut oneshots where artem and rosa have pollen-induced sex in the lost gold event and another where rosa doms artem after the events of atmospherics

mothers and daughters - shakarian fic post-me3 where a depressed shepard uncovers a trafficking conspiracy, adopts a baby krogan, and reunites with her estranged friends (including the turian whose heart she broke...and not necessarily in that order)

they say in heaven, love comes first - shinkane san junipero au

la petite mort - shinkane one night stand goes wrong canon divergence

an eternal sunset of what we are - shinkane persuasion au set in some indefinite time period

kintsugi - shinkane epistolary modern au based on this postcard. it's very slice of life switching between kou in london and akane in san francisco and their respective lives and friends and the ways they intersect

vagabonds, ne'er-do-wells, and insufferable bastards - tua au where teen viktor decides to run away from home to find his mother, which sets off a chain of unprecedented events

and i could see for miles, miles, miles - rdr2 arthur/oc fic where arthur survives, goes west, and finds quiet companionship with one of charles's old contacts who works as a part-time laundress in a sanatorium he ends up recuperating in. she and her mother are one of my fave ocs. her name's vera larue (originally just guinevere bc im shameless and too literal before i made it less Final Fantasy Naming Conventions), her mother is ada lynn, and they're creoles of color who also moved west during the turn of the century. i did a lot of research for this that never actually went into the story that much lmao the sanatorium vera works for is based on barlow respiratory hospital in echo park and her mother's boarding house is situated in what's essentially brick block, a historic black neighborhood that started to populate in dtla prior to the first great migration. much of this work i actually ended up incorporating into my grad thesis bc i got carried away from yknow actually writing the story. but from the start this was intended to be a very meditative historical romance focused on domestic life and recovery in the early 1900s with a dynamic that's reasonably informed but not dominated by the race relations of that time before i got too lost in the weeds. again.

ANYWAY im not tagging anybody bc i'm ashamed at how much i've neglected to write lmao no one look at me

You know what we don't talk about enough? The disparity between Armand and Marius's stories about the night before Armand got stabbed.

According to Armand, Marius made a small speech about how much he loves Amadeo and can't live without him (and even admits to fucking up):

"Amadeo, I can't go on without you," he said. His voice was desperate and small. "I meant to show you evil, not sport. I meant to show you the wicked price of my immortality. And that I did. But in so doing, I saw myself, and my eyes are dazzled and I am hurt and tired." --TVA, p. 133

And then it's sort of still left open ended on whether or not Marius will turn him when he returns after four days.

But to hear Marius tell it, Armand was the one to make the long soliloquy (his "Fool for God" speech) that goes on for most of the page:

(p. 353)

And then Marius claims to have said this to Amadeo:

"Go home, and study with the others, talk with them, and Shepard the little ones at their play. If you can do that--go from the bloody banquet room to the laughter of children--then when I come tonight, I shall do it. I shall bring you over to myself." --B&G, p. 353

Since I haven’t figured out how to work AO3 as a writer yet, here is a mini Courferre bullet fic thing that popped into my mind. Enjoy :)

Courfeyrac who is friendly and charming, and who flirts with his friends until they get flustered as a way to show affection.

No, seriously. He’s even made Enjolras blush and stammer on a few occasions, although admittedly he’s not as good at it as Grantaire. 

Courfeyrac who treats it like a game, even if he always wins in the end, it’s the initial challenge that makes it fun. 

Courfeyrac showing up early to an ABC meeting and shouting a pick up line at Joly and winking, only quitting once the doctor slaps him gently in protest and Musichetta hands him his drink with a warning look. 

Courfeyrac being told off by his best friend Combeferre, who is clearly not in the best of moods today

Courfeyrac draping himself across Combeferre’s shoulders and making kissy faces, throwing out a compliment that would make a nun pass out 

Combeferre reacting icily and motioning for Courfeyrac to sit down so that they can begin

Courfeyrac realizing, with horror, that Combeferre hadn’t even flinched at his valiant attempts at flirting.

Worried that he is losing his touch, Courfyerac walks over and sits with Bahorel, Bossuet, and Feuilly, missing the glare that Combeferre shoots at his back

Courfeyrac wrapping his arms around Bahorel and whispering in his ear until the man turns red. Courfeyrac sitting down with his drink, relieved that he is still just as charming as ever

But why didn’t Ferre react, then?

Courfeyrac slowly realizing that Combeferre has never reacted to any of his shenanigans, never blushed or stammered. The guide only ever looked at him over his book sternly until Courf backed off.

Courfeyrac making it his personal mission to get Ferre to react somehow, refusing to leave his friend alone for the duration of the meeting.

I mean, he tries everything. Cheesy pick up lines, physical affection, his trade-mark smile and wink- nothing works. Combeferre only reacts with a stern look that makes something in Courfeyrac’s chest hurt. He redoubles his efforts

“Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk past you again?” “Courf, we’ve known each other for 10 years,” Combeferre sighs, before continuing. “Sit down, you’re embarrassing yourself.” 

It’s cold, even for Combeferre, but something in Courfeyrac’s gut won’t allow him to give up. He only sits down and stops when Enjolras walks over, looking like he might actually murder the both of them

 Ferre gathers up his stuff and exits quickly, before Courf or Enjolras can say a word to him.

Courf sits at the bar and has an internal crisis, trying to figure out why- why Ferre won’t react, and perhaps, more importantly, why Courf cares so much, why he gets that feeling when Combeferre looks him in the eye. It feels like Courfeyrac is freezing and melting all at once, like that single stare has trapped him in a cage, yet his heart seems to be soaring far away, leaving him behind. 

Grantaire is next to him, rambling on about what classical figure Enjolras reminded him of today, and Courf isn’t really listening. Well, until Grantaire suggests that they go to a club with some of the others and get drinks. “Yes!” Courfeyrac blurts out before he can stop himself

At the club, Courfeyrac can almost forget about Combeferre, with all of the attention he’s getting. He has four sets of numbers written on his arm, although they’re all blurred by the sweat from dancing. He’s tipsy and laughing, with Bahorel’s arm around him, and yet he still has a nagging feeling at the back of his mind

Courfeyrac leaves to get another drink and as he’s waiting at the bar, alone, the hair on the back of his neck stands up, like he’s being watched. He turns around and there’s his best friend, Combeferre, standing at the edge of the club and quickly looking away

Courfeyrac walks over to him in disbelief. “Are you seriously trying to hide? It won’t work, I’ve never seen somebody look so out of place at a club!” 

Ferre cooly explains that he’s there as a designated driver for Joly, Bossuet, and Jehan, and it drives Courfeyrac absolutely crazy that even after Courf caught him staring, he still acts calm, collected, and unashamed

That feeling in his gut is back, and Courf follows it, flirting with his best friend as though he’s some common stranger at the club, not ceasing his efforts even when Grantaire tries to pull him back out to go dance

He becomes so desperate that he goes for horrible, awful lines that he hasn’t used since middle school. “I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away,”

“I’m a doctor, Courf. Listen-” 

But that matter of fact statement sets Courf over the edge. He groans, waving his hand dismissively, “Fuck you, then! I’ll go find someone else to take home tonight!” He means it as a joke, he really does. But he can’t help but notice the air of finality there is as he begins to walk away

Combeferre grabs his arm and fixes him with that look, and Courfeyrac, is for once, at a loss for words. Suddenly, they’re walking to the hallway where the bathrooms are, and Combeferre’s lips are on his and he’s kissing him insistently. Courfeyrac, temporarily stunned, stands there, alcohol-addled brain taking a few moments to comprehend that Combeferre, his best friend, is kissing him

Once he does figure it out, however, Courfeyrac kisses back with enthusiasm, wrapping his arms around Ferre tightly, clinging on to him like he might leave any second. Courf feels like, without Combeferre there, steadying him, he’d collapse, because his knees are weak and his balance is all off

Suddenly, Ferre stops kissing him and pulls away. Courfeyrac looks up at him with a grin slowly starting to form, but his cheeky comment is cut short when he notices the look of absolute horror on Combeferre’s face.

“We should get out of here-” “I’m driving you home.” “And coming inside after?” Courfeyrac asks hopefully, wiggling his eyebrows.

Ferre blushes, he actuallly blushes, and Courfeyrac thinks that now he can die happy. That is, until Ferre says firmly, “No. You’re drunk. You’re going home to Marius and I’m going home to my bed.” 

“We can have a sleepover like we used to-” “No!” Ferre looks distressed, horrified at himself, and Courfeyrac feels his heart breaking. “Ferre-” he pleads gently, reaching towards him, but Combeferre holds him at arms distance. “You’re drunk. I can’t- How could I-?” the doctor pulls at his hair, before pinching the bridge of his nose and groaning.

Courfeyrac doesn’t even know how to react, he just follows numbly behind Combeferre as the doctor searches the crowd for someone. Vaguely, Courf wonders how one could go from being so elated to however he’s feeling right now in a matter of minutes.

He realizes that Combeferre is handing him off to Bahorel, who is sober, to take him home, like he can’t even bear to be in a car with him right now

As the guide goes to leave, sheparding Bossuet, Joly, and Jehan with well practiced skill, he glances back apologetically at Courf, and mouthes something that Courf can’t decipher amid the flashing lights.

When Bahorel gets him home and Marius brings him some water while he lies in bed, Courfeyrac can hardly drink it, too preoccupied trying to figure out everything that happened, and he drifts off to sleep. 

Courfeyrac wakes up with a headache, but he doesn’t think it’s from the hangover. He can practically feel Combeferre overthinking whatever happened last night, even from blocks away, and it pains him. He knows his best friend, and he can tell that he’s suffering.

He doesn’t even bother to change his clothes from last night, leaving a note for Marius and then practically running to Enjolras and Combeferre’s apartment.

He raps insistently at the door, and he’s about to start yelling when Enjolras answers, coffee in hand, golden hair askew. 

“What happened last night? Combeferre came in all in a flurry, totally interrupted my studying, and said something about you- being drunk, him taking advantage of you? He hasn’t left his room all morning!” Enjolras demanded an explanation, blocking the doorway. 

“Oh no, Enj, please let me through, I’ve got to talk to him, please,” he begged, making a pouty face before Enjolras sighed, moving to let him by. “You owe me an explanation and an energy drink,” the leader grumbled as Courf ran past him, knocking on Ferre’s bedroom door. 

It opens and Ferre looks horrible, as though he hadn’t slept all night. Enjolras, as tired as he is himself, stands and tenses immediately, about to walk over, but he pauses when he sees Courf wrap Combeferre into a hug. 

Ferre hugs back hesitantly, before saying, “Courf, listen, I don’t think-”

“Good. Stop thinking. Please, you’re driving me insane. Just let yourself- let us- have this. I’m begging you.” Courf pulls away just enough to grab him by the back of his head and kiss him insistently, and Ferre only resists for a moment before kissing back. 

Enjolras nearly spits out his coffee. “You- I-”

Courfeyrac can’t even hear him, too busy grinning up at Combeferre who is smiling nervously, and a blush, a blush!, Courfeyrac thinks with giddiness, is spreading across Ferre’s face. 

“Um- Sorry Enj-” the doctor starts sheepishly, and he’s stuttering, flustered, and Courfeyrac’s heart just about bursts. 

“I’m not!” Courf shouts excitedly, kissing Combeferre again, and pushing him back into his bedroom. 

Enjolras sighs, hiding his fond smile with his coffee mug and mumbling, “I’ve got to call Feuilly.” 

Later, with satisfaction, Courfeyrac thought that he really could get anyone to fluster, but he didn’t think he’d ever need to see it from anyone other than Ferre ever again.

hey folks, so I’ve finally got everything sorted to start sending art out! here are all the pieces up for grabs. if you’d like something from this list please reply to this post with the number and I will message you to confirm the details once the post closes. before you reply please check the post notes to make sure that piece isn’t already taken - I will do my best to update the post every day but I do work full time, so I’d appreciate it if you could check yourself first. it will be first come first serve, so you can ask for a maximum of three pieces for now. I won’t send anything out until I’ve officially closed this post, so feel free to pop back later if you’d like to snatch up whatever’s left and I’ll add it to your envelope!

I’ve done some extensive experimenting with the royal mail price checker and it seems that I can send a large letter pretty much anywhere in the world for around six-ish quid, and slightly cheaper within the UK (that is using the absolute cheapest standard postage with no tracking, if you’d like something faster/safer let me know).

all drawings are in their own individual plastic wallets, and will be sent in cardboard-backed envelopes, for best possible quality upon arrival. however please bear in mind these drawings are cut directly out of my sketchbooks and were not drawn as finished works themselves, so they may not be in pristine condition… hopefully this will just add to their charm and authenticity ;)

see under the cut for links to the digital versions of most of these if you’d like to look at them in more detail.

Les Amis as Dog Breeds

Enjolras is a shiba inu: Because of the golden locks and they’re fearless, charming, keen, alert, confident and faithful

Just look at that dog. It would stage a revolution

Courf as a husky because they’re pretty, loud and over dramatic. Must I say more?

Combeferre is a Australian Shepard because “Good-natured, Affectionate, Intelligent, Protective, Active”

Bossuet is a beagle (b-eagle, haha) 

Joly is a Bichon Frise

Look at them! So small, so cute, a little sensitive but its okay they’re affectionate and gentile!

Bahorel as the big, beautiful baby that is a Bernese Mountain Dog

Feuilly is a German Shepard because they’re smart and watchful and hard working and we love them

Jehan is a cocker spaniel 

Look at that luxurious hair! Sweet little quiet and friendly dog

Grantaire is a scottish terrier cause he’s tiny, feisty and has a lot of hair

Marius is a goofy labradoodle and Cosette is a faithful poodle 

Muischetta as a pretty collie cause just look at her!

Chetta!

God I fucking love dogs
