some poor unsuspecting idiot on the otherkin server i help mod (long story): [makes a poorly substantiated claim on a scientific topic, based on a website called 'awakenedself'] me, descending from the ceiling in a shower of printed abstracts: You Have Activated My Trap Card [launches into five paragraph lecture]
I always bring a chilled beverage to hot baths so I don’t have to crawl out of the water and lie flat on the floor until my body decides we’re okay again. It’s been very effective for me and I have enjoyed many a hot bath despite being fairly shit at temperature regulation. I still probably wouldn’t try it if I were tired, hungry, or some other thing that might occasionally manifest as “suddenly become nauseous and dizzy”.
same. I also leave the bathroom door open just a little if i can to let the steam escape, it really helps. my parents’ bathroom has a little skylight which was the BEST.
I have a big skylight, i'm just the sort of idiot who forgets to open it until she's already nauseous enough to make standing up in the tub a terrible idea
ok so, fic is on page 13 and 5.8k words and i still have so much stuff planned out. oh god. next up: some sweet sweet h/c
the question is:how much detail about weird quarian biology do i wanna get into? how much CAN i get into? like, that photo in me3 is obviously some sort of injoke between tali and shep, not her actual face, i refuse to believe that.
OK SO canon fact: quarians can see UV-Light i already made quarians have biolum patches on their faces for communication so WHAT IF because i am a simple woman with simple kinks: aroused quarians actually start rippling/glowing in low-strength UV light and since quarians can see UV light, I'm 99% sure that most Geth can too because. look. it's obvious. What's the point of making them not see it when it's probably part of the normally use color palette for them. You know where this is going and no I'm not afraid to go there. at all. (related: quarians using UV-light markings/paint to communicate covertly, especially during their pilgrimage?) ETA: what if the pattern a quarian glows with mirrors the patterns on their hood, and that's here those come from because they're like, left overs of tribal something (also quarians do/did do ancestor worship so like.)
also this means that prolonge exposure to a naked, horny tali probably gives mshep light sunburns because I personally find that hilarious.
bonus: if neither is romanced, tali and garrus get together. turians are plated against radiation. HE wouldn't have the sunburn problem. I'm a genius and bioware should hire me.
slaps roof of this fic you can cram so many of my favourite tropes into this bad boy! the good thing about Writing The Fic You Wanna See In The World is that i can put in all the tropes i like. Yes that one too. And that one. And those two over there if I can work out how. Just...all of them.
Me, yesterday evening: oh i can't write on saturday,i gott oncall Me, today when work turns out chill: [loads the entire scene in a t-shirt canon labeled 'PM's and blasts @kastilin with it]
I used to think that i had two settings for writing: 1. kissed by the muse writing frenzy 2. literally not a single word for years But today i discovered a third one: 3. the Muse has taking me down to her sex dungeon for an extended BDSM session and isn't done with me yet
copied it all over into gdocs. Yesterday's work apparently amounts to 9 freaking pages. Christ. This also makes this fic officially the longest fanfic i've ever produced that i intent to smack the internet in the face with one day. PRODUCTIVE
Product review: lush's Demons oil bath Veeery much likey. Smells great, turns the water a glittery Amethyst color, while petals float around you. My skin is capital s Soft.
