and at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns
I have a commissions post up on my tumblr! http://muladhara.tumblr.com/post/114582148317/would-you-like-to-commission-something-from-me
So if you want to: BUY THINGS FROM ME!
~
Usually, when I play ME2, I run around, nobody gives me their loyalty missions, and the plot does not advance. I do not know what is different about Lucas, but everyone gave me their missions all at once. I barely spoke to most of them! (Thane wants so badly to give me his, but I took him on and will not speak to him again because I do not like him).
I accidentally acquired Jacob's and Samara's loyalty (I wanted to bork Samara's on purpose but that did not happen, and I don't know why. Going to look it up on the wiki later). Now accidentally acquiring Jack's because of waiting for the IFF to be installed.
And I gave Legion to Cerberus. BRB SOBBING. I've never done that. WHY DID I DO THAT.
Oh yes. Because Lucas is an arsehole, that's why.
(His irises are glowing so strongly now that I'd actually forgotten what colour I'd made them in the first place - they were blue originally, because I went through a phase of giving everyone blue eyes. But yeah. Now they are bright red, and I don't think you can even tell that he has pupils?)
Anyway, so I accidentally on purpose killed a whole bunch of squadmates: Kasumi, Tali, Thane, Grunt, Mordin, Miranda, and Jack (I think? It said on ME3 import that six squadmates survived, but IDK?) Also all my crew are dead because whoops I sent them back without any defence and er. Yeah. Although Lucas' entire point is that he's arsehole, so I can see him doing that.
I fucking hate the Human Reaper fight.
I gave the Collector Base to Cerberus.
All these bad decisions are hurting my heart WHY.
Also, Lucas was the first Shep I made look their age (or older, actually. I read him as WAY older than 31 in ME2) but on loading him into ME3, he still has the same facial texture, but now looks about three years younger?? I thought he hadn't loaded correctly but he has? *shrugs*
ALSO ALSO: Caught and killed Eva Coré on the first go which has never happened before. Winced when she smashed Ashley into the side of the building.
Finally: I thought having Ashley would be irritating, but actually she makes a nice change from Kaidan for once. Yeah. I know.

I got my story on the laptop, and the final word count before I started shaping it into a tentative first draft was 16,665 (I've literally added 520 words today, but I wasn't really pushing myself because I spent all day inputting it yesterday).
Since I've set myself a target of 60,000 words (it will possibly run to more than that, eventually), I am dead pleased with the fact that I managed to get a quarter/almost a third written in five weeks. It just proves I can do things when I put my mind to it!
(I've also knuckled down and tentatively asked a couple of friends if they mind giving feedback on the entire thing for me, although I don't have a shareable version yet. Go me!)
