❝ SKIPPER ? yeah , they’ve kinda always been … intense . but this war’s put a lot of stress on them , too , so i guess that could be adding to it . what ? were they different when you guys were still with cerberus ? ❞ a question cut on the edge of curiosity , but also a modicum of old pains . in the soft burning glow of the normandy’s light , edi’s visage shifts into something less threatening — no longer conjuring phantom pains of an artificial body possessed by a different program , crushing her head into the hard landscape of a shuttle . ashley never considered herself soft , but mars had left her blue and black , all bruise , all blood . beneath the ai’s sphere of study , she finds herself slow to respond – previous experience with synthetics begetting a healthy hesitance . but she’ll adjust . she has to . the inquiry tugs at wounds not quite healed , and a frown crushes the expanse of her brow .

sure , i guess you could say that . the commander … shepard , we’ve been through a lot together . guess we’re still working it all out , y’know ? ❞
a writing blog for ashley williams from the mass effect trilogy.
about the writer. jude, 19. she/they. i’ve been writing ashley since … 2016 - ish, and I’m excited to write her again.
001. highly selective + private, but I am willing to plot with non-mutuals if approached.
002. this account will remain extremely plot driven. I prefer at least some sort of pre-established dynamic before threading, so I can have a basic idea of how our characters will interact, though it’s not necessary. 003. multiverse + ship, but selective about shipping.
004. semi-active at the moment.
005. potentially triggering content may be present, such as violence, death, and exploration of traumatic experiences. it will all be tagged to the best of my ability, but if you need someone specific tagged, let me know. tagged as [trigger] / 006. I’m open to any kind of threads (one-liner, para, multi-para, etc.) 007. blog is currently a wip! thank you for your patience.
thank you for reading! you can find the full rules page here.
ashley’s so … physical, in my head. there’s a lot of playful touching. shoulder-bumps, playful punching to the sides and arms, knocking her hips into someone’s side, wrapping her arm around someone’s shoulder, or yanking them into her side. depending on the person, I think casual touch comes so easily to her, and she tends to just be very … touchy. lots of hugging, getting into close contact, loves play-fighting and (playfully!) knocking people around / getting knocked around.
