gibe me aria and shep for funsies
How did they first meet? Simple: she was looking for information, Aria had information to give. Their first meeting was… tense, but cordial; one might venture to even say they were friendly, a little. As friendly as a formerly-dead Spectre and an infamous criminal can be, anyway.
Who felt romantic feelings first? I’m going to wager… Kat. It’s painfully evidenced by the sheer gay panic she exhibited.
Did either of them try to resist their feelings? Both, and I think for different reasons, but one they share: privacy and commitment. They’ve both led turbulent lives, ones that aren’t really free of people spying and wanting to know their business. In Katrina’s case, she’s far more sensitive than she lets on, and I definitely think with her struggles to open up to anyone, that was a factor.
Who initiated their feelings first? Ooh, tough one. I am probably going to put that on Kat. I think she’s more likely to say something for her own sake, so that there’s no dancing around it or beating around the bush.
Who said “I love you” first? Probably Kat. She’s more the sappy one.
Who gets jealous easily? I think that’s probably both of them? Aria’s probably more likely to be vocal about it, Kat’s likely to be quieter about it but still just as jealous.
Who is more protective? Kat, probably. She has lost far too many people that are precious to her not to be. Not that she doesn’t trust Aria can’t take care of herself, but… There’s that underlying fear there.
Who remembers the little things? I’m going to go with both, though I think after the war given Kat’s mental state, it ends up being more Aria that remembers. Kat’s too all over the place and not really a functioning human being for a while.
Who talks about their feelings more? I want to say Kat—or at least, she tries to. Not talking about them has been an unhealthy coping mechanism for her, so she’s trying to talk about them more openly.
Who uses the cheesier pickup lines? Aria. No question. Kat’s not that smooth.
What does a first date look like for them? Drinking, probably. Drinking and either dancing or the casino.
What do they like to do together? Honestly, I see them visiting quieter things like art museums or the like. Kat is an artist so she’d feel at home there, and it’d be significantly quieter than the majority of their lives usually are. Things that are more low-key, maybe not even out in public, but quieter and away from the chaos that their lives bring.
Which one gets angry the most, leaving the other to calm them down? Aria has the more obvious temper, so I think Kat’s more likely to be the level-headed one calming her down. Kat has a very… calm fury, and she’s not as easily provoked.
Do they like PDA? Kat’s not particularly a fan of it; she enjoys the privacy, more accurately.
What are their big spoon / little spoon arrangements? Alternating, probably.
Does one like the cuddle more than the other? Specifically in private… probably Kat.
Who hogs the blankets? I’m going to go with neither. Kat probably wants her own separate blanket to prevent blanket-hogging. It’s just more efficient. (Also, she runs hotter than most humans because she’s a biotic, so… there’s that.)
Who’s more likely to initiate sex? Aria, hands down. Again, Kat’s not that smooth. She might as they get more comfortable, but it’ll last a whole thirty seconds before Aria’s got her gay panicking.
Who’s the kinkiest? Aria. No question. Kat is the furthest thing from kinky. There’s very little outside plain old vanilla that she’s into.
Who is the top and bottom in their sex life? Are they interchangeable? I’d say interchangeable, but Kat’s likely the more submissive one of the two.
Who likes giving and who likes receiving oral? Both, I’d say equally.
Can they last more than one round? Absolutely.
Which one is a morning person? Kat. It’s just part of military life. Plus, I think she’s more the type to want to get up earlier, get the day going, cook breakfast, etc.
Do either of them like to cook? Kat, given the opportunity and that she’s comfortable with it, actually enjoys cooking a lot. I think her specialty is more baking than cooking, but she can make some really good meals. She used to cook with her mother a lot, which is a contributing factor to why she can’t bring herself to cook any more.
If they get married, who proposes first? I feel like they wouldn’t, honestly. With the lifestyles they lead, something that binding would be too much… trouble for either of them. I also think, at least in Kat’s case, she doesn’t see it as a necessity or as important as others might. She wouldn’t be opposed to the idea, but it doesn’t have the same necessity to her. But if they did, it’s up in the air as to who would ask. I think they’re both just as likely to ask the other.
What kind of wedding do they have? Quiet, low-key, friends/close friends/family only. I don’t think Kat would settle for anything more than that.
Does anyone object to their relationship? @diewithaname’s muse would hate me forever if I didn’t point out that Ryker absolutely does (or at least, he’s very concerned with his little sister’s… decisions). Otherwise, I don’t think anyone is close enough to or has enough influence on Kat to stop her from doing what she damn well pleases.
Do they have any kids? Not with each other, no. Katrina’s neutral on the idea; she’s not opposed to it, but she’s not set on it, either. (Most of the work would be on Aria’s part, anyway, if at all.)
Do they have any pets? Katrina has fish and a pet hamster. Said hamster is surprisingly fond of Aria.

Today’s reading in the ancient book of Proverbs and Psalms
for monday, September 14 of 2020 with Proverbs 14 and Psalm 14 accompanied by Psalm 87 for the 87th day of Summer and Psalm 108 for day 258 of the year
[Psalm 14]
God Looks Down from Heaven
For the Pure and Shining One, by King David
Only the withering soul would say to himself,
“There is no God.”
Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous,
depraved and detestable, devoid of what is good.
The Lord looks down in love,
bending over heaven’s balcony,
looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters.
He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely,
any who are searching for God and wanting to please him.
But no, everyone has wandered astray,
walking stubbornly toward evil.
Not one is good; he can’t even find one.
Look how they live in luxury while exploiting my people!
Won’t these workers of wickedness ever learn?
They don’t ever even think of praying to God.
But just look at them now, in panic, trembling with terror.
For the Lord is on the side of the generation of loyal lovers.
The Lord is always the safest place for the poor
when the workers of wickedness oppress them.
How I wish that Israel’s rescue
would arise from the midst of Zion!
When his people are restored,
Jacob’s joy will break forth
and Israel will be glad!
The Book of Psalms, Poem 14 (The Passion Translation)
[Proverbs 14]
Every wise woman encourages and builds up her family,
but a foolish woman over time will tear it down by her own actions.
Lovers of truth follow the right path
because of their wonderment and worship of God.
But the devious display their disdain for him.
The words of a proud fool will all come back to haunt him.
But the words of the wise
will become a shield of protection around them.
The only clean stable is an empty stable.
So if you want the work of an ox and to enjoy an abundant harvest,
you’ll have a mess or two to clean up!
An honest witness will never lie,
but a deceitful witness lies with every breath.
The intellectually arrogant seek for wisdom,
but they never seem to discover
what they claim they’re looking for.
For revelation-knowledge flows to the one
who hungers for understanding.
The words of the wise are like weapons of knowledge.
If you need wise counsel, stay away from the fool.
For the wisdom of the wise will keep life on the right track,
while the fool only deceives himself
and refuses to face reality.
Fools mock the need for repentance,
while the favor of God rests upon all his lovers.
Don’t expect anyone else to fully understand
both the bitterness and the joys
of all you experience in your life.
The household of the wicked is soon torn apart,
while the family of the righteous flourishes.
You can rationalize it all you want
and justify the path of error you have chosen,
but you’ll find out in the end that you took the road to destruction.
Superficial laughter can hide a heavy heart,
but when the laughter ends, the pain resurfaces.
Those who turn from the truth get what they deserve,
but a good person receives a sweet reward.
A gullible person will believe anything,
but a sensible person will confirm the facts.
A wise person is careful in all things and turns quickly from evil,
while the impetuous fool moves ahead with overconfidence.
An impulsive person has a short fuse and can ruin everything,
but the wise show self-control.
The naïve demonstrate a lack of wisdom,
but the lovers of wisdom are crowned with revelation-knowledge.
Evil ones will pay tribute to good people
and eventually come to be servants of the godly.
The poor are disliked even by their neighbors,
but everyone wants to get close to the wealthy.
It’s a sin to despise one who is less fortunate than you,
but when you are kind to the poor,
you will prosper and be blessed.
Haven’t you noticed how evil schemers always wander astray?
But kindness and truth come to those
who make plans to be pure in all their ways.
If you work hard at what you do,
great abundance will come to you.
But merely talking about getting rich
while living to only pursue your pleasures
brings you face-to-face with poverty.
The true net worth of the wise is the wealth that wisdom imparts.
But the way of life for the fool is his foolishness.
Speak the truth and you’ll save souls,
but in the spreading of lies treachery thrives.
Confidence and strength flood the hearts
of the lovers of God who live in awe of him,
and their devotion provides their children
with a place of shelter and security.
To worship God in wonder and awe
opens a fountain of life within you,
empowering you to escape death’s domain.
A king glories in the number of his loyal followers,
but a dwindling population spells ruin for any leader.
When your heart overflows with understanding
you’ll be very slow to get angry.
But if you have a quick temper,
your impatience will be quickly seen by all.
A tender, tranquil heart will make you healthy,
but jealousy can make you sick.
Insult your Creator, will you?
That’s exactly what you do
every time that you oppress the powerless!
Showing kindness to the poor is equal to honoring your maker.
The wicked are crushed by every calamity,
but the lovers of God find a strong hope
even in the time of death.
Wisdom soothes the heart of the one with living-understanding,
but the heart of the fool just stockpiles stupidity.
A nation is exalted by the righteousness of its people,
but sin heaps disgrace upon the land.
A wise and faithful servant receives promotion from the king,
but the one who acts disgracefully
gets to taste the anger of the king.
The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 14 (The Passion Translation)
[Psalm 87]
Fountains of Joy
A prophetic song, composed by the sons of Korah
High upon his hills of holiness stands God’s city.
How God loves the gates of Zion, his favorite place on earth.
So many glorious things have been proclaimed
over Zion, God’s holy city!
Pause in his presence
For the Lord says, “Here are the nations
who will acknowledge me as God:
Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, and the Mediterranean people,
even distant Ethiopia.
They will all boast, ‘I was born in Zion!’ ”
But over Zion it will be said,
“The mighty Man was born there and he will establish it.”
For the God Most High will truly bless Jerusalem.
And when he counts her citizens, recording them in his registry,
he will write by their name: “This one was born again here!”
Pause in his presence
And the princes of God’s feasts will sing and dance, singing,
“Every fountain of delight springs up from your life within me!”
The Book of Psalms, Poem 87 (The Passion Translation)
[Psalm 108]
A Prayer for God’s Help
A poetic psalm, by King David
My heart, O God, is quiet and confident, all because of you.
Now I can sing my song with passionate praises!
Awake, O my soul, with the music of his splendor.
Arise, my soul, and sing his praises!
I will awaken the dawn with my worship,
greeting the daybreak with my songs of light.
Wherever I go I will thank you.
All the nations will hear my praise songs to you.
Your love is so extravagant, it reaches higher than the heavens!
Your faithfulness is so astonishing, it stretches to the skies!
Lord God, be exalted as you soar throughout the heavens.
May your shining glory be seen high above all the earth!
Come to your beloved ones and gently draw us out.
Answer our prayer for your saving help.
Come with your might and strength, for we need you, Lord!
Then I heard the Lord speak in his holy splendor,
and from his sanctuary I heard the Lord promise:
“In my triumph I will be the one to measure out
the portion of my inheritance to my people,
and I will secure the land as I promised you.
Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Manasseh;
they are all still mine!” he says.
“Judah will continue to produce kings and lawgivers,
and Ephraim will produce great warriors.
Moab will become my lowly servant.
Edom will likewise serve my purposes.
I will lift up a shout of victory over the land of Philistia!
But who will bring my triumph into Edom’s fortresses?”
Lord, have you really rejected us, refusing to fight our battles?
Give us a Father’s help when we face our enemies.
For to trust in any man is an empty hope.
With God’s help we will prevail with might and power.
And with God’s help we’ll trample down our every foe!
The Book of Psalms, Poem 108 (The Passion Translation)

❤️❔ - Only if you up for it. <3 No hard feelings if we end up just having them as platonic!
Hmmm… Let me put it this way. I’m not opposed to the idea! I think it’ll really depend on how things work out with them / I’d be looking to discuss how it would go a bit before giving a concrete answer, if that makes sense? I work best with plots, threads, discussion, all of that when it comes to ships (especially crossover ships) because I just kind of need to know how they’d vibe. But I’m definitely open to the idea and seeing where the two of them go 👀 but don’t hesitate to throw me ideas if you have any!

🥰 - I’m following you because I love your writing and content and I just want to read your stuff
➕ - Other reason(s) - I forgot if I filled out your interest checker and didn't want to fill it out twice if I did but!! I just came to say hello!!
first of all I am SO SORRY I took an eternity to answer this—but I have been the biggest slowpoke in life as of late
but I’m glad you enjoy my content & writing, slow as it comes! As for my interest tracker, you did fill it out, so that’s all fine there—but if you’re ever not sure, or you forget, or you just wanna double check (and this goes for anyone reading this), seriously, just ask. I understand being forgetful or being like “wait, did I or didn’t I?” and I’m more than happy to give a yay or nay. It doesn’t bother me at all. It signals to me that you respect my boundaries & want to be sure that you’re respecting them by doing so. I also don’t mind if interactions are just once in a while, as long as you engage with me! Engaging doesn’t have to be in-character writing, or actively writing, it could just mean we chat on headcanons or pictures I post, or fun little dash games, sending little asks, that kind of thing. Obviously, writing is preferred, but sometimes things just don’t click. As long as I don’t feel like I don’t exist on your dash, that’s all that matters to me.

@pessimistics asked:
your lover going to walk away, but you grab them and pull them back in for a kiss before they go.
She’d come for one of her rare visits, but unfortunately… the job came first. That was how things were for both of them; there was the job, then there was their relationship. For most people, it just wouldn’t work; the need to prioritize could often break a relationship. It helped, though, that they had a mutual understanding of that need to prioritize; Kat just hoped they could continue making it work.
But she didn’t want him to leave just yet. Her hand reached out, catching his wrist and tugging him back before she pulled him in, pressing her lips to his with a somber smile. Not yet, she thought to herself. Just… a few more minutes. Maybe she wanted to savour it… or maybe, she was going a little stir-crazy. Breaking away, she let her fingers trace his cheek and along his jaw, her expression softer than ever.
“Look… Are you sure you don’t want me to come along? I know I’m supposed to be on leave, but…” But she felt odd just–taking time off. She didn’t feel the same if she wasn’t solving problems somewhere. It felt like she was sidelined, in a way, even though that wasn’t the case. And she worried–she’d always worry–because she knew what horrible things were out there. “And before you say anything about me being a liability or you worrying about me, I’d like to remind you that I don’t need a weapon, because I am a weapon.” For once, she puffed up proudly about that; she could most certainly handle herself.
But there was also one other caveat. “And, you know, if there happens to be any red tape you’re being stopped by…” She lifted two fingers, making a snipping motion like her index and middle fingers were a pair of scissors. “I can be very useful.” Truth be told: she was bored sitting around all day. There was no adrenaline, nothing to keep her mind going… and the more that happened, the more she thought about things she wanted to forget.

🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?
Hmm… Okay, so I think there’s two ways I could answer this.
First, I think canonically: her having a brother (and in most cases, he’s alive). He’s only mentioned occasionally in threads, but given @diewithaname and I plot frequently with the two of them, Ryker is canonically her brother in 99% of cases. This is only changed in the instance where I’m writing with another Shepard in a siblings AU where they are related (if I’m writing one where they’re not related, then Ryker may be mentioned, but he’s most likely dead). That’s probably the #1 biggest change I’ve made to Kat overall. That being said, the two of them are estranged for years and don’t often have regular content until ME2 or so (if he’s alive).
The second biggest is changing when her biotics were noticed: Kat’s secondary exposure was actually on Mindoir, which triggered her biotics, which saved her life in the process. As Anderson was her foster father until she turned 18 and could properly enlist, she trained under an asari matriarch that was a former commando, which is why her biotics are incredibly powerful (and even more refined than the average human biotic, even comapred to most L2s in terms of raw power—though the raw power statement is actually canonically noted in dialogue).
In terms of changes from her original version, much of what you see with Kat is just minor changes I’ve made: I changed her hairstyle (originally using one of the default bobs in ME1 then Brooks’ hairstyle in 2 and 3, and I’ve changed her ME1 bob a couple of times along with switching to the ponytail/braided crown in combat in 2 and 3), updating her face texture, and ultimately adjusting her casual outfits to be her favourite colour (purple). Most of this was done to play into headcanons I came up with early on (ex. she won’t show skin in ME2 due to her missing scars, so she covers up… but no goddamn way is she going to wear Cerberus colours, so she opts for a purple scientist outfit).

✿
send me a ❛ ✿ ❜ and I’ll talk about our muses in some capacity ; be it a headcanon or a plot idea that I’d love to write! Don’t be scared to send this in if we haven’t interacted, an idea or something magical might happen !!
Oh man, I have So Many Thoughts™️ about these two, in all honesty.
Honestly I really like the idea of how they met: just some random encounter set up by someone else. It’s cheesy but that’s kind of what makes it cute imo! But also, them just kind of keeping in contact a lot while she’s away and kind of giving each other something to look forward to. They’re both kind of introverted and a bit reclusive because of things that happened to them, but they look forward to gifts/messages/the like from each other, and I think that makes their time together something they really cherish. In Kat’s case, I think it’s nice to have someone who understands dedication to the job (since his career has a very similar “the job comes first” mentality) but also, at least for her, he’s kind of a quiet escape from the absolutely wild parts of her life.
But also the angst of her dying? God, I can only imagine what that did to him, how that destroyed him, and her coming back? Hard to say which of them it was worse on, though; Kat herself is pretty messed up by the whole ordeal, & tbh I think she even feels guilty about it, & the other events that happen to her definitely don’t help. (That being said, having him around when things get rough will definitely help her in the long run 😭 this woman has way too much on her shoulders, she needs a quiet escape from the chaos of her life).

@dutyworn asked:
do you feel similar to your muse in any way?
Not in any particularly notable way, I guess? I think the closest I’d get is that I’ve dealt with (and still do deal with) anxiety in the past, so I play on a lot of that to characterize when Katrina’s dealing with her own personal anxieties. That’s probably the only real similarity I feel to Kat as a muse.
As for my other muses, I think I relate a bit to Ashley more, particularly in terms of her “not so prim-and-proper”/brutal honesty attitude; I played contact sports (contrasting to her learning marine hand-to-hand and admitting she’s “more of a straight up puncher”, as one example).

@smokedanced asked:
send 😳 if your muse thinks mine is pretty. / love, garrus
That admission is enough to stop her in her tracks. Her mouth opens a little, mildly baffled by Garrus' words. Attracted to her was one thing--she knew that already--but pretty? She figured turian standards of pretty were probably very different from that of humans.
The soft flush on her face indicates how surprised she is, as all she can manage to do is point at him, then herself, and look mildly confused, but silently asking him: "you think I'm pretty? Me?"

@lcsthings asked:
☁ for a random headcanon about our muses / for joker :0 obvi this doesn’t have to be romantic
You get more than one because my brain said so--
Joker is the only person Kat’s cabin is never locked to. While she might want her privacy from others, Kat knows that if Joker takes the time to hobble up to her cabin, she’s not locking the goddamn door, because it’s probably serious.
She actually likes his sense of humour, though she’s sometimes stoic about it. In a lot of cases she’ll note he’s earned the right for a few bad jokes, but she welcomes it to a degree; his humour helps alleviate tension and keeps people from getting too tense in situations. If he’s not careful, though, she may give as good as she gets...
She never once blamed him for her death. She understood his attachment and understood that, under the immense pressure of the situation, thinking straight is difficult. Compared to her, he wasn’t really trained for that type of scenario—it’s in a lot of ways outside the scope of his job as a pilot—and she knew it was her job to make sure as many people got out safely, not his. For her, it was a relief to see him after she woke up; she was glad that his was the first truly friendly and welcoming face (sorry Tali) that she saw.

“i don’t like that look, what happened?” -Ripley
Her only answer was a roll of her eyes, huffing as she practically stomped her way through the ship. Leave it to the god-damned Citadel Council to stick their heads up their asses and forget the rest of the galaxy exists. She knew she should have expected this, but a part of her had hoped they’d have things figured out by now. Saving their lives had to count for something. Or, at least, she’d thought it would. Apparently, she was wrong.
“What happened,” she replied gruffly, “Is that as usual, the Council is ignorant and unhelpful. Despite the fact that I have saved all of their lives, stopped an invasion not once, but twice, of the galaxy—no, let me rephrase that, let’s make it three times, because we might as well count the god-damned suicide mission through the Omega-4 Relay as one of those. Now, let’s add the fact that I told them three years ago what was coming, and we have a whole slew of political bullshit that didn’t need to happen.” Jerking her head in the direction of the elevator, Kat gestured for Ellen to follow, the irritation clear in her posture, though none of it was directed at the woman.
“I fucking hate politicians.” And now she had to deal with Udina; the two of them had never seen eye to eye, and while Udina was doing his damnedest to make a difference right now… she wasn’t sure how far that was going to go, or how effective he was going to be. Not that Anderson had been able to do much; but at least Anderson had believed her at first. Udina had tried to throw her to the wolves, and she’d never forgiven him for that. She wasn’t about to now, not until he made some progress on getting them aid.
The elevator opened at the mess, and Kat gestured to the cook; he knew exactly what the gesture meant, and as he busied himself making something to eat, Kat dropped into a chair at one of the tables. “The Council threw us to the wolves. Doesn’t mean humanity’s completely fucked, but it’s damn well close. And in an ironic twist, Sparatus was actually helpful afterward instead of an ass like he usually is.” That had been an unexpected twist; him coming to her after the meeting with the Council was more than surprising.
“You know it’s ironic when the turians are the first lead you’ve got for humanity to get some kind of relief aid.” After the First Contact War, relations were amicable at best; turians and humans just… didn’t mix, a lot of the time. Different cultural values played a large role in that.
