Lee. 30-something. She/her pronouns. This is a former Mass Effect OC blog turned personal/writing blog. I post about cute things, video games, and just about anything containing wlw content. I also write; please check out the link up above to check out my fics if interested.

FAQ (Updated as of 02/12/24)

Q: Did you take your stories off AO3?

I did not, no. I simply locked them so that only registered users on the site could read them. Anyone without an account there will simply see an otherwise blank profile when they search or click on my username.

For my guest readers, I do apologize for the inconvenience. AO3 accounts are free to use though. You’ll just first need to request an invite, which can be done on the homepage. After that, you’ll be entered into the site’s invitation queue and then be given instructions on how to create your account. Depending on the time of year, the queue can be rather lengthy, but please just be patient. Once your account is made, you’ll be able to access my fics again.

Q: Why did you decide to lock your stories on AO3?

Beyond just serving as a deterrent for the occasional anonymous troll, I’m also not comfortable with the idea of an AI program skimming or copying my work to improve its own writing capabilities.

Q: Do you have a FAQ about Niamh?

I do now, yes! I figured it might prove useful to new readers, especially given how long my fic is turning out to be. :)

Q: What is your update schedule like for Over the Sea to the Clouds Above?

As of July 2023, I began a paid apprenticeship in a program I’ve been wanting to get into for ages. As it involves me working a night schedule, my writing has unfortunately suffered due to this new but exciting change. My plan is to update OtSttCA a few times out of the year, depending on my work schedule. While all the chapters are fairly lengthy at this point, I always strive to make sure each one is of quality content for my readers. I know the wait in between each update isn’t very fun, but I thank you all in advance for your patience!

Q: Do you have links to your AUs? Yes, I’ve belatedly realized that my blog isn’t very mobile-friendly, but you can see the masterpost for all my AUs here.

Q: Are you planning to write more about your AUs?

I’d certainly love to! Once I finish OtSttCA, depending on the interest of my readers, I’ll either be focusing on the sequel next or dedicating more time into fleshing out the AUs into full-fledged stories one by one.

Q: May I ask you about your character(s), your stories, or your AUs?

Absolutely! I love talking to my readers! :D Just bear in mind, however, that I might not be able to answer everything in detail since it could be a spoiler for a chapter I’ve yet to write.

Q: Can anyone send you prompts/questions when you post writing memes?

Yes! It doesn’t matter if you’re a follower of mine or not, feel free to send a prompt/question in.

Q: Do you take AU/story requests?

Not necessarily. You’re more than welcome to send an idea in, and if I like it enough, I might write about it. It’s not always guaranteed though.

Q: Do you have a FAQ about your Shepard?

Yes! With the Mass Effect remaster out, I do plan to write within that fandom again eventually! :D For now, I hope you enjoy the little profile histories I have for Rajhi in each game along with the various AUs I have in mind for her.

Q: Do you have any other social media platforms outside of Tumblr?

Nope! I think I may be too old and easily distracted to keep up with the newer ones these days. Lol. I am on a Discord server dedicated specifically to Leliana, so if you want to talk to me there, that’s an option too. :)

Q: What is your banner image from?

It’s from art I commissioned from @mraeelli. You can see the full image here.

Q: What is your user icon from?

It’s from art I commissioned from @drawinglinestoconstellations. You can see the full image here.

Q: What is your sliding sidebar image from?

It’s from art I commissioned from  @drawinglinestoconstellations. You can see the full image here.

Ways “I love you” is said in Arcane (because those words were never actually said in a show all about love)

“Always with ya sis, even when we’re worlds apart.”

“Still got your insides kid?”

“I am the dirt under your nails Cupcake, nothing’s gonna get me out.”

“Always a dance with you.”

“I’ll never forget this.”

“Don’t cry, you’re perfect.”

“You are the wolf.”

“In all timelines, in all possibilities, only you could show me this.”

“You were never broken Viktor.”

“I would’ve never given you up, not for anything.”

"You have a good heart. Don't ever lose it. No matter what this world does to you."

"Ever since you dropped into my life, it's like I put on glasses..Except, I can't tell whether everything's blurry or clear."

“I must say, since I’ve met you lad, I’ve truly lived.”

“There is no force in this world that can control you. You will never be a passenger.”

“I’ve never seen you give up on anything Ekko.”

“Your ideas change the world. I can’t shake the feeling that that’s who you’re supposed to be.”

started playing tomb raider again and the. fucking woman brainrot is back

you know when you have a platonic relationship with a girl in college and it makes you so normal that you ask an atlantian god-queen to duplicate her into a subservient copy that you then dress in tight leather clothes and cart around like a pet

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD

Okay, but this is genuinely adorable. I love how the first kid, after entering the number, was like “what do I do now?”. I bet the kid was trying to figure out where the “call” button was, because if you’re only used to cell phones, it’s not really intuitive that the call will automatically go through once you finish entering the phone number

These days, the concept of a dial tone is rather obsolete for a cellphone-centric world, so it isn't a surprise these girls are young enough to be unfamiliar with it or the hookswitch. Only place you see traditional telephones are in office buildings and older homes that still use it. When dial service was introduced, the Bell System had to put together instructional films to educate telephone users. So many people were used to being able to pick up and tell the operator who to call for them, so you had to suddenly learn where to find phone numbers. They didn't even have pushbuttons telephones yet, just rotary dial.

That’s so fun! How we circle back on ourselves! This is so wholesome

Client sketch vs. final illustration

When someone commissions me, I absolutely love getting a rough sketch/doodle of their concept—it makes the first steps of an illustration (composition/posing) so much easier.

I'll never ever judge a client for a messy sketch!! (And also, no pressure to send something like this if you'd like the artist to take the creative reins on your piece.)

decided to put these in a bit of a chronological order as i can’t help but form a story behind the scenes. it’s a storyteller’s habit. and yeah i do have an idea i would genuinely like to explore with gail simone as a crossover comic. 

i don’t want to be the writer for this. but at the same time i always found diving into these things and exploring the character chemistry was the best way to get an artistic feeling for it.

this is also how i usually develop my own stories.

anyhow, while many think this is me drawing some shipping, in fact this a proof of concept for an adventure story  featuring lara and diana. Gail simone at some point asked if they would kiss and i gave it some genuine thought. i am a character first kind of a writer, myself, so i contemplated this. then i decided, yes, probably.

after all, romantic subplots have been the bread and butter of adventure writing since its inception and i always liked that aspect of adventure stories.

 i hope this puts some things in context from my end XD

and while there will probably be a few more of these, there will be no nsfw pics. after all, camera pans away from indiana jones in those moments as well  XD

okay… there may be a chance of a kiss… but that’s about it.  (edit, i added the rest of them here along with the antagonist)

just resharing cause i compiled the remaining few pics into this post as well

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

everyone I am happy to announce that the stevebucky fanfic author I had in mind while writing this post has officially reblogged it.

A vampire/werewolf AU comm of Neve Gallus and Saoibh "Rook" Cousland for @morganaseren ~ Thank you again! ✨

IT'S FINALLY HERE! 😍

I must share my ongoing obsession with a certain ice mage and my version of Rook! As her surname suggests, she's the child of my Niamh Cousland and Leliana in this particular AU I've written about, where Niamh is the werewolf and her mate Leliana is a thousand-year old vampire. Let's just Saoibh definitely takes after her mother in the sense that they love older, dangerous vampire women with hearts of gold... 😏

You can definitely see Saoibh's personality come through with that playful, smitten grin of hers along with her wolfy shadow in the background there. She definitely lives up to the moniker of Trouble in every way, shape, and form, and I like to think that Neve enjoys the unexpected thrill adds to her life after so many centuries of careful certainty. I mean, we gained massive approval from her when we punched the First Warden, right? Gotta love the scrappy underdog! 😂

I'll reveal more about Neve's and Rook's roles in the AU over the next week or so, but I've had so many plot bunnies about these two lately that I couldn't help but ask Marty to take on a commission with them! As always, her attention to detail is always top-notch! I love how everything turned out in this! Honestly, whether it's with canon characters or original ones, she never fails to exceed my expectations with what I'm looking for.
