Hey Ali if you didn't know this already there's a part of I believe ME2 where you can look at logs of what the crew has done with their shipwide intranet and Tali downloads and then uninstalls a nerve stim program for her suit about four or five times, presumably for sexy purposes, so direct nerve stimulation programs are mass effect canon if you want inspiration Edit: apparently it's part of the shadow broker dlc (link to the info)
YEAH that's precisely what I'm using, actually. The fic is taking place post-collector base run. There'sa victory party, Tali is kinda drunk, kinda horny, and find out that something on her suit got damaged during the mission and now her program won't run. Legion offers to help her repair it, and that's the jumping off point
that was my EXACT reaction like, there's not a lot of Talegion fic to begin with but most of it sticks a dick on Legion and 'Im like. Why. WHY. Canon has given you a VERY good method for them to fuck why aren't you using it
and we also know, from canon, that tali would be down for a threesome with femshep and garrus so literally nobody can stop me from sticking her between kal'reegar and legion and i will take full advantage of this this is my kink indulgence fic and people can like or leave
Salt post of the day: fuck management To explain: we've had many many instances of blood groupjng having to be sent off to the red cross for detailing because we got positive DCTs. They're usually meaningless for the Patient, but to be sure we gotta get them evaluated. We get that many because despite the DCT not being a standard test, it's part of the gel cards we use for blood grouping. We can't just not do it because then the machine yells. We can't just pretend not to see the results because 1) work ethic 2)liability So we send them all off, which is pretty damn expensive for the Hospital, with virtually no gain. So for the last oh... 1.5 years since new boss (Petra) took over, we've been badgering HQ for a solution for this issue. We've only gotten VAGUE ideas, not the written orders we'd like. So Petra finally snapped and called the supplier of those cards, asking if there was an alternative one without the DCT on it. And there is!!! So she mailed the doc responsible for us like 'hey what if...' and first, gets no reply for a week, then gets a reply that instead suggests we add ANOTHER card to the rota (we already do 50% more bloodgroups now than when i started working here), never mind a card that wouldn't solve our problem at all!! New plan is to call the boss of another Hospital lab on wednes and tell her about the alternative, problem-solving card, in the hopes that if more people start shouting, we get what we need But just like. FUCK MANAGEMENT. Like, they're not rotating on the spot with the work we already have, course it's easy to add another card for them. They're also not the ones personally liable if something goes wrong with bloodgrouping, that's the poor lab tech doing it. So just. Fuck them all.
Another idea for the talegion fic: Legion canonically plays a dating sim and is horrible at it The dating sim is based on Tali's fave movie, which she can Quote from memory Ergo: Legion should ask Tali for dating sim help and i can sneak some romansu in that way
What i'm saying is: there is a lot of Details in tali's and Legion's lore and people are critically underusing most of it and I Will Fix This
PLANE TICKETS GOT!! flight goes at 10am so i gotta be there at like 8am soooo at train Station at like 6am maybe? Which means getting up at 4am but I Can Handle This
Also got some truly amazing puff pastry thing (klosterkipfl) from this one bakery that does their own puff pastry and Lord help me it was the best pzff pastry of my life. No sugar save for powered sugar on top and some dried apricots baked into the thing Also: decided that if i do two oncall shifts in a week i can have two baths in a week too, so guess who's got two thumbs and is soaking in buttermilk/lemon bath Salt? (Tetesept, not lush for once)
Tfw your bath water is too hot and you end up adding some ice cold because otherwise you're faintly nauseous from the heat
As someone whose theoretical ideal bath temperature is a gentle sous vide but in reality has low BP... I feel you on the faint nausea
I feel like if i had opened the skylight i might have done better because cool air but i'm not standing up for a while yet ;_; Also if the weather stays this cool i'm gonna have to bring a shawl or something to the Airport that i can fold up small into my carry-on Bonus: folded up to double as pillow
what i set out to do for this fic: self-indulgence to the max. canon and fandom cannot stop me what i actually got: self indulgence BUT ALSO now tali is having an existential crisis about Legion's everything and by extension, geth-quarian interaction as a whole
I once set out to write an angsty de-aging fic that somehow ended up with a running thread about architectural criticism, so Feel Known.
It's momentarily resolved but the thread of doubt will return soon because Tali is a sweetheart and i wanna prod some aspects of her characterization
talegion fic is now on page 10. I did not expect this to get long me@myself: they manage to fuck in the first scene and still be slowburn, won't they? That's what's gonna happen.
