Listen, I know I have a problem, but Mandy Patinkin Kaidan needed his boo and the store had a sale.

One day I’ll be able to commission @jeannedarcprice to repaint them 😂 but Shep’s lot too bad!! He just needs a space hamster.

Soooo some of my stuff has been deleted on AO3. I don’t think any of the art posted is gone but it’s been so long since I actively wrote and posted Idek what’s missing.

If anyone here read something they liked and it’s missing (however a small chance of that 🤣, I wrote so little and the name is diff) please let me know and I’ll upload it again, I don’t have any time to sleuth for the moment 😞 . Thanks guys!

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

Talking to @sweet-ree and @maxrev and damn do they know me, BUT ALSO I would like to point out that the guards in Stargate the movie were very confusing for baby Shotce. I saw tiddies and was like, is that a man or woman??????(but also I didn’t care, hindsight is 20/20)

Now I wanna draw a Stargate Ghoap AU

*leans against wip pile, trying to hide it*

New fixation, new xover! Phasmophobia and CoD let’s goooooooo!

Torn between the idea of new guy Gaz joining 141 ghost investigations (Price in charge, Soap is the tech guy and Ghost the lore guy) and Soap getting drafted by Phasmo crew when they find out he can sense ghosts after MW3…

Either way, long suffering Ghost clutching his tea in the background.

Seal Soap sketches. I’ve been in a bad place for creating the last few months, sorry! Seal Soap absolutely does not give in to show favoritism

[the-shotce-newsletter]

Ok but for real, artists will fall down the same rabbit hole writers do researching. I’m currently cooking Destiny AUs.

[the-shotce-newsletter]

Selkie Soap is showing off his new scarf, SAS retired Ghost is not amused and trying to save the wee bastards life.

Also I recommend seal rescue videos from OCN for self soothing and de-stressing.

[the-shotce-newsletter]

Did I buy the Oktoberfest bundle just for this screen?? Yes, yes I sure did. Look at the drunk lil Ghost and soap bar with a bubble Mohawk!

[the-shotce-newsletter]

Ok!! New computer on order! 😭 my old one was literally falling apart and I could NOT type on it anymore.

[the-shotce-newsletter]

More arty things from the Resi CoD xover. Leon rescues Ghost and feels responsible about it.

Another art from the wip fic pile.

[the-shotce-newsletter]

Scene from a fic I started. Selkie Soap is stuck as a seal and has a lot to say to Price, who’s hunting for answers. He can easily scoot and hop around, but why do that when he can make Ghost carry him like a sack of potatoes? Gaz is the only amused one.

I had this epic dream where Call of Duty merged with Baldur’s Gate 3 and went down the rabbit hole.

Imagine Halsin as a dog trainer, when Soap meets him he’s ‘retired’ and contracted, he helps Soap get over his fear of dogs. When the 141 thinks about getting a dog for reconnaissance and bomb detection, Soap knows exactly who to recommend. Maybe Ghost gets jealous.

When your friend tries to sneak a screenshot of your ‘third leg’ and you turn to look at her. Whoops.

Look at my hilarious dog photobombing in the background.

Johnny insisted he needed to take the shirt off for apple bobbing. Cowboy Au anyone?

Started this last year for autumn/Halloween, was going to scrap it but said it’s done enough, just color it.

[the-shotce-newsletter]

Well. Weeeelllll, I tried. Sorry I need practice with fur, but anything to keep your muse inspired!

Hey cod fandom artists, can someone redraw this for me, but it's Soap, and the bunny is Ghost? (A Flemish Giant with the chinchilla coat color)

Please and thank you 🙏🏻 I need it in my life.

“Draw me like one of your French girls, Johnny.”

I’ve been wanting to draw this since the marionette skin dropped. Thank you @blueteaparty and @sweet-ree for the encouragement!
