I have been fortunate to commission and trade for wonderful art of my Darcy Shepard from these lovely people, and I thought I’d try putting it all together along with a couple of screenshots. It means the world to me that you’ve taken such care with my girl even when I’m slow and fussy.
@domirine thank you for putting Darcy in a dress but letting her keep her boots, and for the spot-on attitudes for each outfit!
@kibagib I love the colours so much, and the little elements of the profile that make it her.
@blasteddoodles the hatching is beautiful, and it was hard to choose whether to put the red or blue version in this!
@theheroofoakvale you made her look so nice! And then so tired (accurate).
@beelzeebub I adore the ME1 (and earlier) vibes, the lighting and background, and how she just looks so done with everything.

Back in 1983 when I was fourteen and taking French in high school, I was paired up with someone in France. For years, we wrote back and forth to one another - these were the pre-PC/internet days, remember - and we were even able to meet up during two visits I made to France over the years. He was a very kind person, very giving and gentle. We had a lot of discussions over the years, on all sorts of topics. But most of all, we had friendship, one that I treasured very much and deeply.
The last time I heard from him was in 1999, a few months after my son was born when he sent a gift. After that, he stopped communicating. For years, I've wondered what happened to him, why he'd stopped writing, and I haunted the internet searching for any clue to what happened. Toward the end of last November, right after what would have been his 54th birthday, I found my answer. He died February 7, 2000. My greatest fear had been proven true.
Still, because I never knew for certain, I had hoped he was still out there, somewhere. I won't speculate as to what happened, and the notices and obituaries I found did not state the cause of death, but I have a suspicion. None of that matters, though. He was a dear friend, and I loved him for that, both when he lived and now.
In an effort to keep his memory fresh and alive, I created a Shepard to write about based on him, right down to how he looks. I commissioned @blasteddoodles for his picture (I only have two good photographs of him), and boy, did she deliver! Thank you, my friend, for capturing his likeness so well! <3
Tu me manques, mon ami. J'espère que ton esprit trouvera la paix. (I miss you, my friend. I hope your spirit finds peace.)
(forgive any grammatical errors - it's been over 20 years since I last spoke or wrote French)

The observation lounge is dark when Alexandre slips inside, the only light the thousands upon thousands of pinpricks scattered as far as the eye can see outside the window. But he isn’t alone. He pauses a few steps in and tilts his head, then offers a soft smile to his left, then walks over to the window. He leans his shoulder against the wall, angling himself to prop himself into place while still getting the best view. Well, almost the best view. The actual best view comes up behind him, slides his arms around him, and murmurs in his ear, “Tu es en retard.”
Wrapping his arms over the ones around his waist, Alexandre replies, “Non, je suis à l’heure, mon étoile. Tourjours à l’heure.”
Kaidan huffs softly as his arms tighten. Alexandre expects an argument – after all, there are the two years he was ‘dead’ and Cerberus rebuilt him to account for – but surprisingly, it is absent tonight. Turning his head, he asks, “Tout va bien?”
Kaidan inhales deeply, his chin coming to rest on Alexandre’s shoulder. “Tout va bien,” he agrees quietly.
Everything is fine. Well, there is a war on, and the Reapers are gaining ground, but for this moment, in this place, at this time, all is fine, and that is a fine thing, indeed.

WE DID IT!!
WE REACHED OUR CHARITY CAMPAIGN GOAL OF $1000 IN AID OF SAVE THE CHILDREN!
Wow! I’m delighted and gobsmacked at all your enthusiasm and generosity.
This was a first, both for an appreciation week and for me to set up a campaign like that. It could have gone a number of ways- there could have been little to do donations, whether due to a lack of signal boosts or people simply not having the funds. Or we could have just about gotten halfway towards the goal (which would still have been something). Or (and that’s what I’d expected), with a lot of boosts and reminders, we could have landed just shy of the 1k at, say, 850 or so (which, as a milestone, would have been the Battle of Denerim, so it’s like almost there). But to fully reach the goal, and with half a day (US time) still to go- didn’t expect that.
I wanna give credit where it’s due and thank the amazing folks of the @dorianartbook initative for the inspiration to do a charity campaign inspired by a character; and Twitch’s kessel_runs, whose Tiltify campaign gave the idea to use that platform and set up rewards. (I got a fabulous custom video from @andrastini through that campaign and thought, hmm, can we do something like that?)
And there was so much support! Signal boosts, not just from us but from you guys- three, four or five times from some.
A lot of you donated, too, again some several times. One donor bought three commissions from two artists in one go. Another rejected her reward and threw it back in the pot for someone else to claim it so the campaign would get another $40. And another just chipped in the final 30 dollars after seeing our post.
Then there’s all the contributors who gave their time and talent:
Janett Kirchner, @mizunderstood2136, @th3morrigan (blasteddoodles), @dovalord123, @elevanetheirin, @starsandskies, Thecelticmyst, @alleiradayne, @ambellinaleander, @mapplestrudel, @machatnoir, @authorellenmint, @captainceranna, @bellanaris-somniari, @allenvooreef
A huge, massive, sappy thank you to all you guys for contributing to this fundraiser, whether with a creation, a donation or a signal boost. You all had your part in its success and you’ve shown what we nerds can achive together.
I’ll stop now and leave you to enjoy the rest of day 7.
If you like there’s still the cute Alistair plushie up for grabs at Caboodling with Alistair- no donation required, just throw your name in the hat.
Thank you all so much again, you’re an awesome, awesome bunch.

Drawing prompt: kiss
Featuring Wolf Shepard and Kaidan, of course. And trying out a new drawing app because medibang lost all my drawings and I am still pissed at it.
