Hello Shepard, Commander Kitty 🎀

I like to think he might have reached out and nudged Shepard in a quiet moment of shared humor as he walked behind her.

Reminds me of the chuckle and little cough of embarrassment he gives when she asks him about the moniker of Archangel.

UGH. Give us that side-eye baby.

Hello and welcome ! You can call me Sparkles, I like to draw on my tablet and play video games (mainly Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Baldur's Gate 3). Here to yap, gush, gawk, giggle, make friends and play tag !

About me

I am a 39 yo queer woman (pronouns are she/her), who tries to find time to enjoy her passions as soon as the kiddos are asleep... which regularly proves to be a bit of a challenge (as you will inevitably notice given how much time I need to respond to anything)! ;)

My main blorbos are Solas / Fenris / Morrigan / Garrus / Astarion / Karlach. But I do have an infinite supply of love for countless other fictional characters (try me). I am also happy to ship them with whomever (companions, NPCs, OCs mine and yours !), as long as they are loved (because they deserve the world, obviously)! 💖

I've been into Dragon Age since it came out and I thought no game/series could ever sweep me off my feet like that again... then I started playing Mass Effect and damn was I happy to find out I was wrong ! So I thought "OK this time that's really it, no other game can win me over and make me lose my mind ever again". Enters Baldur's Gate 3 a few months back, and I've been burning in these hells ever since...

For navigation, I tag my own posts with the sparkles emoji. ✨️

This blog is 18+ because of the occasional NSFW content, mostly from reblogs.

My OCs

I have two that currently occupy my every thought, although the others will probably make a late entrance when I finally find the time to replay their respective games (one day !)

🌿 Chloris Lavellan 🌿

(Dragon Age Inquisition)

Hunter extraordinaire, gallant hero, dashing rogue, and Inquisitor with a heart of gold.

Romance : the Inquisition's resident Fade nerd and apostate hobo (Solas)

🌟 Elore Winterstone 🌟

(Baldur's Gate 3 / Tav)

Soft & colossal wood elf, skilled beast master ranger on a self-imposed exile, gentle endearing herbo. Intelligence might be her lowest stat, but she will catch a Smokepowder Arrow for ya. (IF she likes you...)

💜 Purple Kitten is 4 and funny as they come, sometimes I'll report cute antics of theirs with the tag #oc : purple kitten (real life)

🤍 Little White Fox is still just a wee baby, but they're the reason I'm currently on parental leave and spending so much time on Tumblr, trying my best to be social without coming across as a creep... 😅

My art

Tags : #my art, #dividers by galacticsparkles

I picked up digital art with Procreate starting in 2025, after years of not figuring out how to make time for art while being a parent and working full time. I still have everything to learn and I am here for the journey, I'm just incredibly happy to be able to express my love of games through fanart again, as an adult. 🥰

I also make and use my own dividers for all my posts. I enjoy drawing them and it brings me joy when I see them breaking containment, so feel free to use them if they speak to you ! While credit isn’t necessary, I always appreciate it deeply, plus it lets me see what you create, so that's a win/win situation in my book ! :)

After a long day.
