So, I've seen some interesting posts about Spacer Shepard and Colonist Shepard and the struggles they had to face, so I just want to ramble about my favorite Earthborn, why I think it's such a powerful background and what makes it especially heartbreaking.

It's easy to guess why both the Colonist and the Spacer chose to become soldiers. For the Spacer it was the most obvious choice available (and we see a lot of these "dynasties" in the game: Ashley, Kaidan, Tali, Jacob…), for the Colonist it was revenge, but what about the street kid, the Earthborn? What kind of hell was the Earthborn living in that the only way out was to join the fucking military? Were they even 18 when they enlisted? Shepard calls the place they grew up a "war zone," so you can draw your own conclusions.

We kind of get the inside scoop on Shepard's gang days thanks to Finch, and this whole quest really got me thinking: what kind of stuff was the teenage Shepard involved in that Finch (and I don't think he's a stupid guy) really thought he could blackmail the first human Spectre?

Also, how did gang life affect Shepard? Military training must have been hell for them, because it's based on trusting your squadmates, your commanding officer, the whole chain of command, and gang life is pretty much the opposite: trust someone and you're likely to get fucked.

And what about the whole "Take Earth back" thing? There was a very interesting thought in the post about the Colonist, asking why Shepard should care about Earth at all when their own home was destroyed and their parents were killed? And it got me thinking about the Earthborn: why should they care? They saw the absolute worst that this planet can be: they were an orphan in a war zone, forced into the gang just to survive. Someone like Kaidan is fighting for his family, for his orchard and the view over English Bay, and what is Shepard fighting for? For the slums where they grew up?

What I love about this background is how well it fits the Paragade route and how well it explains some of the moments in the game.

Shepard charming the Citadel shopkeepers into giving them a discount? Street kid moment.

Shepard getting really excited about finding the credit chit between the couch cushions? Street kid moment.

Shepard fleecing their own engineers in the sci-fi poker game (after telling said engineers not to be so hard on the rookie)? Street kid moment!

Shepard getting all sarcastic around C-Sec officers and scolding mercs? Street kid moment!

And you know exactly why Shep is so good at hacking and lockpicking, and why it takes some devilish concoction to finally get them drunk.

I honestly have so many heascanons about the Eartborn that I could ramble on all day. Also, following this topic, there's a point to be made about how Bioware handles the issue of sexism in their own games, but that's definitely for another time. Bye.

It's also the reason Shepard can't dance, hums rather than laughs, and smirks rather than smiles.

Commissions are open!

Inflation is kicking my ass, so it’s time to pimp my services again!

Do you have a great fic idea but no motivation to write it? Pay me to do it!

Prices: (Will be in USD, because let’s face it, most people here are from the US.) - 0 - 500 words: $5 - 1000 words: $10 - 1500 words: $15 - etc. (Not sure where my top limit is, depends on the job.)

I will never write less than your commissioned word count. I may go over, but I will never charge you more for it.

Payment:

To my paypal (ladydrace at gmail dot com) once you’ve received your fic. I usually ask if you want to read it through first, and I don’t demand payment until you’re happy with the result. If you don’t like it upon reading it, I will do my very best to fix it, including a complete rewrite if necessary. When you approve it, you pay. I therefore do not, as a general rule, do refunds.

I will send the finished fic to you in a doc, or post it for you on AO3 or Tumblr if you prefer.

Once you receive your fic, you may feel free to do with it what you wish, except post it as your own work. Keep my name on it somewhere, and you can do whatever you want.

I will write:

- Smut, fluff, gen, angst, whatever. - RPS (Real Person Shipping/Slash) - OCs (as long as you can provide me with dialogue samples and character info.) - All types of pairings. (And I do mean all. Incest, bestiality, het, slash, poly, you name it. Hell, I once wrote a fic about two sentient cars falling in love.)

Fandoms I’ve been in/feel confident writing for:

-Detroit: Become Human -Teen Wolf -SPN -Merlin BBC -Star Trek DS9 and TNG -Fallout 4 -Stardew Valley -various other video game franchises

In my own time I write mostly hankcon these days, but I’m willing to try my hand at almost any fandom or pairing for cold hard cash. If I haven’t watched/read the source material, though, it naturally follows that my pull-out-of-ass approach might not deliver what you want. Fair warning. I’ll also happily try my hand at original work.

Samples of my work can be found here on tumblr or on AO3!

I will not write:

RP commissions. I have been asked repeatedly, and I’ve decided I just don’t want to do that for money.

Would also really prefer not to be asked to write: scat, infantilism/adult baby, feederism, violent rape, gore and vore.

I may refuse on other grounds as well, but it’s rare, and I will generally make at least an attempt, even if the subject makes me slightly uncomfortable.

Time frame:

Depends on the commission size and my stress levels, but generally I can do it in a few days to a week. Contact: I will accept commissions via your preferred method, be it ask box, Tumblr messenger, Twitter (ladydrace), email (ladydrace at gmail dot com), or something else entirely. Simply tell me what you want and how you want it, and I’m sure we can work something out. <3

Some personal takes on Tali'Zorah ... way too much of her fanart doesn't account the fact that she is, in reality, a massive gremlin.

You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.
