Figured it was about time I create a masterpost to pin on my blog.
Name: Kogarashi, Amanda, "hey you"
Editor, (fandom) writer, freelance artist
Multifandom geek and generally crafty jack-of-all-trades (master of none)
~ I Draw ~ I Write ~ I Craft ~
Outside links here, but the most relevant is probably my Archive of our Own page.
You can buy me a cocoa (Ko-fi) if you want to throw a tip my way, and you can buy things with my art on Redbubble (slowly adding to inventory).
I also have a side blog for reblogging art I like, and now a side blog for reblogging other people's fiction.
I have a tag list for things like tag games. Want on (or off) the list? Just leave a comment on the linked post.
Fandoms, collected posts, commission info, etc. below the cut to keep this shorter on my page.
Quick links to my OCs:
Castelin Cousland | Aelinn Hawke | Tyria Lavellan | Saadrah Mercar
There are a lot of fandoms I'm in (or at least consider myself a part of, even if mostly on the sidelines). The biggest three would probably be:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Dragon Age
Mass Effect
But you'll find me posting things from other fandoms from time to time. If you followed me for one specific fandom but it seems like my hyperfixation has shifted, if you stick around long enough I'm sure it'll shift back.
I've got some sets of posts where I've put together a masterpost to link them all in one place, or have a collective tag for useful things. You can find them here:
Writing Tips (mine specifically; you can find more under the tag "writing advice")
Art Resources (I may not have every resource post properly tagged for this one, but I did my best)
My fandom headcanons
My tumblr dividers - free to use, credit is nice but not necessary, don't claim them as your own work or use them in commercial works
Yes, I do take commissions for both art and writing. If you don't see a type of commission listed below that you're interested in, you can always send me a message to ask.
OCs or canon characters (or both)
No NSFW
I find mechs difficult but I'm willing to give it a fair go
Digital delivery
Payment will be handled through Ko-fi (if you don't see an option on Ko-fi, message me), or you can send me a DM to discuss alternate payment methods.
What you Get:
High-res digital copy of your commission
Limited personal-use print rights (no re-selling, but you can get it printed on media/merchandise of your choice for your own use)

me at 10: well really what I want to do with my life is cure cancer, and be an extremely famous scientist, and discover things that change the world, and win a Nobel Prize, and be a novelist, and
me at 20: so what I think I want is to have a successful career, and work hard for promotions, and establish myself in my industry, and make a good life for myself, and sure it's not curing cancer but it's more realistic
me at 30: I want to pet my kitty cat. I want to go on long bike rides when the weather is nice. I want to roll around on the grass. I want to cook good food. I want to clean my house. I want to get a good vacuum. I want to sleep when I'm tired. I want to never open Microsoft Teams again.
Sometimes I forget people aren't multishippers then I see someone talking about how they used to ship something then got a new ship and I'm like what do you mean you aren't just collecting ships like cool rocks you see on the ground
To celebrate their last day of shore leave, Shepard and Garrus go out to drink on the Silversun Strip. They have a wild night–or at least, they think they did. Shepard and Garrus wake up in bed together the next morning with no memories of the night before and a trashed apartment to boot. The hazy couple in question retraces their steps in a race against time. With lives on the line, will Shepard and Garrus be able to unpack their feelings about each other along the way?

I suffer from 'I want to comment so much on things I enjoy, but I can't find words in me'.
So please bear with me and my infinite 'I love this'. And 'It turned out so nice'. And 'It looks so good'. Or just a like, or reblog without adding anything.
I know it sounds generic and like I don't even care. But I do care, I see all the little details. It's just so damn hard to form a coherent thought.
The hell am I supposed to do with giant scissors? Do you think I look like the protagonist of Kill la Kill? I'm a SHOOTER. Ok, I've only used a bow once I used to practice shooting with an airsoft rifle but my aim is pretty damn good actually, and the one time I used a bow it was a bullseye give me something two handed and ranged.

Getting in early on this one. The current (non-cosplay, which is still happening too, but I don't have photos) project is prepping for FenHawke Week (@fenhawke-week), because I want to make some stuff for it too. I've got ideas. And since there are eight prompts, and I couldn't decide whether I wanted to do art or writing, I figured I'd do both by doing four of each.
I used to use Google docs, but the white mode only was really annoying me (tires my eyes), so I swapped to Ellipsus (which I genuinely love and recommend), but it was bothering me a bit that I need wifi in order to use it, so now I switched to LibreOffice Writer, which I do like.
It very much has a Microsoft Word feel, but is open source and you need no accounts to use it. It's local on your device, so no AI can scan it, and no wifi is needed.
I still wish it had the Google Docs cards, because, bitch, that thing is so good for easy organizing.
The suicide mission was a success, but not without tapping into a suppressed fear. The mission reminded Garrus how closely death is hovering over them, and how much he stands to lose if it catches up. It quietly and quickly eats at him until it spills out, something that hasn’t happened in years. It’s terrifying, knowing you could lose someone you love at any moment, and stress relief can only help so much. He just needs her to live.

It's been a month since I started "favorite music friday", and I have to say while I have enjoyed everyone's submissions so far, I've noticed there haven't been all that many different genres. So, I'm curious:
What's Your Favorite Genre of Music?
Pop
Rock/Metal
Country/Folk
Hip-hop/Rap
Electronic
Classical/Instrumental
R&B/Soul/Jazz
Indie/Alternative/Experimental
Multiple/I Can't Choose!

Remaining time: 1 day 2 hours
For more specific genres; some examples would be K-Pop/J-pop = Pop. Trance or Dubstep = Electronic. Punk, Grunge, or New Wave = Rock. Bosa Nova, Big-Band or Swing = Jazz. Opera = Classical. Game or movie OST's = Indie/Alternative, etc. etc.
