The Charlatan in Our Hearts - Chapter 1 - SheWolfofVilnius - Mass Effect: Andromeda [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Chapter three of my Reyes/Ryder fic, The Charlatan in Our Hearts, is now up.

I swear to you by the end of Chapter 4 they will be in the same place, and they will spend much of the fic together after that (unless they are longing) #masseffect

there's a bathroom bill in committee in my home state (R's control, only need simple majority to overturn veto).

I posted a thing today begging friends/family back home to find state rep/senator & tell them to block it. Warned them I will *NEVER* come home AGAIN if it passes.

They won't care, but

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

If there's anyone who was involved in the making of Mass Effect: Andromeda noodling around on Bluesky, anyone at all:

You prob didn't get to hear this a lot when it was launched, but thank you. This game is one of my favorite things I've ever played and fills me with wonder every time. #masseffect

Im halfway through Mass Effect: Initiation (one of the three Andromeda tie-in books).

The Cora Harper in this book is 100x more interesting than the Cora in the game and that isn't even Game!Cora slander, just *damn*. (I'm also noodling around with the idea that maybe they were wrong about SAM-E)

Mark Kelly had built up a lot of political goodwill by going up against Trump and Hegseth in recent months. The sound you just heard was him torching nearly all of it.

"I’m Back": The true story of Michael Jordan's 1995 baseball comeback It's been 30 years!

On this date in 1995, Michael Jordan officially retired from baseball and Scottie Pippen played in Air Jordans, doing his "come hither" finger waggle to the camera. If you haven't read it, you will love the story.

If you have read it, you will love this story!

β€˜I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

β€œβ€¦in fields most explicitly associated with the production of critical thought – what is collectively referred to as the β€œhumanities” – most scholars see AI as a unique threat, one that extends far beyond cheating on homework and casts doubt on the future of higher education itself…”

From one of the Andromeda books, literally the day Alec Ryder met Cora Harper. I promise I will stop posting all these excerpts now and will respect copyright. (BUY THE BOOKS THEY'RE GREAT)

Just...shit...I actually think the old man might have actually liked Reyes Vidal. Eventually.

I decided prior to reading any of the actual ME:A books to have Cora Harper come be the actual moral core of my story (Tann's machinations, whatever Harry Carlyle is doing, Sara Ryder in her Warlord era, Scott Ryder as a jealous ass, etc).

I can already tell I hit a home run

(And Ygara is 50000% the reason she DOESN'T trust Reyes at first and is ready to rip him to shreds if he hurts Ryder. Because she was her friend goddamnit)

I've started reading one of the actual real Mass Effect Andromeda books (initiation - the Cora/Alec/SAM one)

and my instinct to write this woman as eventually getting along with Reyes Vidal very strongly is 100% on the money

It is one of my favorite games I've ever played. I've beaten it three times. My most recent Ryder lives in my head in a way few OCs I've developed have and miiiight be inspiring me to learn another language.

Andromeda is phenomenal, and you deserved to have someone tell you that.

I'm 12 chapters in to my roughly 30 chapter Ryder/Reyes story.

Good or bad Sara Cecilia is never going to be "fawn" or "flight" or "freeze" when faced w crisis points. She's absolutely the "FIGHT" in the "Four F's".

And >that's< the driver of conflict. What if she's actually her own worst enemy.
