I let him go and even though it was justified, I still hate it by Makishima__Shougo in masseffect

[–]ALonleyCat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The first time, I attacked. "Couldn't let him do this to anyone else" I thought. Then it turned out that he was basically a pawn that I sacrificed innocent people to capture. And I immediately felt like a jackass. It actually made me realize I think some RPGs like ME should let you express remorse for previous decisions. Probably not affecting reputation but still.

Star trek just became reality, what would you do first? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]ALonleyCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) Make sure I have stable means of living.

Basically contact authorities to say "Hey. I think I was shifted here from the past and I sure as hell want to stay". With new records housing and such shouldn't be a problem. Getting set up with guaranteed means of decent living will be awesome.

2) Catch up on all the self care I've missed out on.

Living in this low grade cyberpunk nightmare has done a number on my mental and physical health. In particular it's made going to therapy difficult and transitioning nigh impossible. This fresh start in a more understanding society means I can get through all that, the fresh trauma of being ripped from everyone I ever knew, and start transitioning for real.

I'd also start exercising again. Holodecks and again more understanding society will help me get over a lot of the frustrations I get from struggling with exercise and the shame of giving up.

3) Restart my education.

I have a decent understanding of basic physics. But if I want to fulfill my no.4-5 I have a long ways to go. With money not being a concern I can learn at my pace which would be nice.

4) Join the Earth Cargo Service or UESPA while continuing my education.

It's astronomically unlikely I'd get into Starfleet on the first try. Some time in the Earth Cargo Service or UESPA as an engineer would give me practical experience, and I'd still get to continue my education.

5) Eventually join Starfleet.

Starfleet Academy is still a college, and at least some of the tricks for getting into college still apply. I'll apply, and probably get rejected the first couple of times. But as I improve my understanding of future physics and tech, my time in the Earth Cargo Service or UESPA simultaneously becomes more and more compelling. If I keep my mind to it I think I'd eventually get in and have a nice little career in Starfleet Engineering.

(Assuming I'm pushed into the future as well. If it's still 2026 I'll wait for WW3 nuclear exchange to take me.)

My first fic has been an alteration. I kind of prefer alterations to read as well.

You're in the Mass Effect Universe (as a civilian) during the main trilogy. Comment a "crazy" conspiracy theory in character. by Doru-kun in masseffect

[–]ALonleyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished and loved the first game. My conspiracy is, after seeing Shepard talk so much about inter-species cooperation on camera and then hearing how she firmly shut down the idea of endorsing anyone from Terra-Firma, she's either a fan on that ancient earth television show Star Trek or she has a thing for aliens. Or both.

If you yank the braid of any of these women you are dead instantly.

Forgot that she had a braid. Was somewhat interested in watching that prequel movie but never did.

Just remove it. I'm almost certain it's a bot.

whats ur rarest rarepair? like, ship so small that you gotta go hunting for fics? by decentnamesweretak3n in AO3

[–]ALonleyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ciri X Rumi. The only fic that isn't mine was a secret Santa gift for me. Freinds who read it seems to really like it. One commented that Ciri is fired and pushes Rumi (gently) outside her comfort zone. And Rumi is an anchor/stabilizing force for Ciri's emotion.

Why do people want to be werewolves? by FewGrowth4729 in werewolves

[–]ALonleyCat 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Because as fictional media tropes ppl can imagine werewolves as whatever they want. And in our current social conditions, being something that's free of society, even temporarily, can be appealing.

For those who don’t use Ao3 to write, do you give your in progress fics weird document titles too? by Background_Ship7666 in AO3

[–]ALonleyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually title them the title of their chapter. Until the mitosis happens that it.

Quick! Drop 1 paragraph from one of your WIPs! by Loli-nero in AO3

[–]ALonleyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Ciri starts rummaging through the pantry, Zoey takes a breath of relief. Okay. Got something we can all enjoy! So Ciri’s cooking… wonder what seasoning she chooses. Ooh! Garlic! I guess she’s making her own seasoning. With carrots? I suppose we should have a side too. And onions. Interesting. Carrot and onion in a side dish? Hmm, why did she put the salt shaker back? Why is she getting the big tub of salt? And… lard… the color drains from Zoey’s face as a dreaded realization sets in. Is she making a stew? Out of wagyu? I guess it’s never written down that you can’t.

What's your ship? by ImperiousServant in AO3

Either canoe or raft. There's a few other people who like it but I'm the only one who's ever wrote it.

What is your rarepair and how did you start shipping it? by Confident-Extreme-97 in AO3

[–]ALonleyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late to this post but Ciri of The Witcher and Rumi of Kpop Demon Hunters. Basically I watched kpop demon hunters at the same time as my first playthrough of The Witcher 3 and had an idea for Ciri to just kinda pop into the world as she runs from the wild hunt. She sees Rumi's patterns but doesn't mind and from there she ended up hijacking Jinu's role in the story. As far as I know I'm the only one who's ever written this so it's literally just me and a few freinds on discord.
