Universe's silliest war criminal
“But take heart. Look around you. You’re not in this fight alone.” – Commander Shepard Been doing this piece quite some time now ‘cause wanted to fit all my peeps in one picture. I just love Mass Effect. Selene Shepard & art © me Mass Effect by Bioware, do not copy
Thane, it's been too long. I was beginning to think I'd never see you again 💚
Male Commander Shepard (fancasting)
& Matthew Fox (from Lost tv series)
In my opinion actor Matthew Fox, who played Jack Shepard in the 2004 TV series Lost, would be a perfect choice to play the male Commander Shepard from Mass Effect.
local woman destroys sentient galactic war machines then fuckin dies
The trolley is about to run over all sentient life in the galaxy. You cannot switch the tracks, but you can still save everyone’s lives by pulling one of three levers, all of which involve sacrificing yourself. The red lever will destroy all trolleys, but will also kill you as well as all public transportation across the galaxy. The blue lever will merge your own consciousness with all trolleys, allowing you to control them and stop the trolley from running everyone over. The green lever will use your body as a catalyst to synthesize organic life and public transportation together - organic life will no longer be stuck in the cycle of creating public transportation that rebels against its creators, and both forms of life will finally be free.
My thoughts and Opinions on Mass effect 3 first playthrough. (No spoilers please, but this will contain spoilers as it is my experiance)
So. first of all, i know its been a while. but I've been busy with life guff annoyingly. i did start this game after finishing ME2, however... i was influenced a bit to not like this game by nerdcubed as i heard he didn't like this game. which is fair. that's his opinion. so that didn't help. When I played it, i quickly understood why he didn't like it and how all the joy of it was sucked away (and also all the combat was completely trivial) so i took a long ass break from the game. tried it again. this time, i saw that there were difficulty options. Which I'm going to blame the game for never prompting this. i know there are games that don't prompt you at all about difficulty but 95% of games i play do prompt this. so i didn't look for it in the first place. after finally being granted full freedom, i quickly got a mod to just have unlimited fuel because I like that. i do love the new feature of you can only scan a few times before the reapers come for ya. its not hard to outrun them, but its given me a few clench moments of running away. Something the game added which i like and dislike is the weapon weight system. now how it works is that you can only carry a certain weight of items with you through missions. the more weight you have means the less you can use your powers and for a Vanguard, that sucks. but i get why this was done as it adds more strategic thinking and planning involved. but i don't like the weight of some weapons. like, personally, i like running with only 3 weapons. A pistol, and AR, and a Sniper. but snipers are far too heavy to be worth it. so i kinda breeze through at close to mid range. i would be much happier with full choice. i would be fine countering this with what i stated before. but the problem there is that its never clear what kinda environment or enemies I'm facing so i can't properly plan ahead. and i can always rely on my AI teammates either. a small feature i do very much like is that while walking around on the citadel. you can find some people arguing about how best to help the war effort or who is more in the wrong but listening in on the conversation and choosing to interject. for example, you can find this couple arguing about how to best help the war. 1 is saying that they should join the military and take up arms, talking about their friends getting out their weapons that were mainly jsut for show. the other is unsure about the idea. I chose to support the unsure one and Shepard suggested that they could volunteer at medical areas to help there. and they were both down for that. it rewards the player with a small boost in numbers too. its a little thing but i very much like that. also, after trying to dodge DLC spoilers and trying to work out what order I'm supposed to do everything in. i now have all but the citadel dlc spoiled for me (except the ending) so if you're looking to do them and play this game. just do it any order as the dlc was built to be played mid campaign it seems. but the DLC missions are Eden Prime, Dr. Bryson's lab on the citadel, and some other place i haven't unlocked but i know its at the citadel. too.

Okay. so. i got 2 new mods at this time, one to make the normandy fly much faster when going around in space which is good and bad. its good becasue traveling is much faster, and dodging reapers is easier. but this leads into the bad as it makes reapers too easy to dodge to the point where its just kinda trivial but removing the mod is out the question as its glacially slow to move around. anyway, onto the game. after being given full freedom, i wwent to eden prime as it was a dlc mission and it was reccomended to do very early and i'm glad i did as i got a cool dlc companion. following that, i went to Pavalen to help the Turians and met up with the man, the myth, the legend, Garrus. i was so happy to see him once again and kicking ass like he always does. we also saved the leader of the turians who requested a meeting with the Krogen. my assistant found fake transmissions and i got to meet up with Jack again which was great (for those that don't know, i romanced Jack in ME2) and it was great to see what she became. From there, i went back to the Citadel for a bunch of side content but got 3 big mercenary groups on my side of the war. from there, i went to go pick up the Krogen leader and saw it was none other then my main man fucking Wrex. in exchange for helping the Turians, Wrex wanted the genophage to end. i was all for it, got the Salarian to shut up and accept the terms and conditions. then had to save the only surviving Krogen female that was immune to the genophage from Cerberus. from there, Wrex asked me to go check in with one of his squads where upon we saw the second best Krogen ever, Grunt, who rose to the ranks of having his own platoon. I was asked to help him deal with Rachni. in the first game, i chose to help the Rachni instead of killing them. by the end of the mission, we saw the the Rachni had been over taken by the Reapers and i was given a choice. sacrifice the krogan for the queen or leave the queen to die but save the krogan. this was a difficult choice for me. but a choice had to be made. i saved the krogan. that was a hard choice but felt like the right one.
ALSO, i wanna point out that grunt sent me an email... and while he isn't good at spelling... HE USED THE CORRECT YOUR... grunt is smarter then alot of humans that still use the wrong fucking your and you're.

Mass Effect HCs: Krogan Textiles and Cultural Things
The designs of their clothing, particularly for females, is interestingly ornate for being such a brutalist people in both culture and architecture.
The use of buckles, patterns, and flowing embroideries suggests that some part of their society still values art and design despite how war-like they are. I wonder if each tribe/clan has a different style of patterns? I know it’s universal in game for ease of production, but it does make you wonder.
If their markings, armor, and culture vary by clan, what else does? Is there a specific dialect of the Krogan language that Urdnot’s have that Jorgal’s don’t? It’s a big planet and they’re a very scattered people. It would make sense that at least some parts of their society would be different.
Urdnot is a progressive clan that blends with other fallen clans, such as when the women and children of clan Nakmor were added to the clan after the males were killed, but they also collect peoples from different species as well (Ereba the Blue Rose of Illum and technically Commander Shepard).
Do their names vary in style, too? I know Bakara mentioned naming starts with getting drunk on some kind of juice and belching until it sounds like a word, but they don’t only grab names that way in game. Some of their names sound almost alien to them, like how Inamorda sounds like Mordin (a Salarian name) and Grunt is just a title.
I think I’ll do more digging into this and come up with more things

So…I had a dream after seeing this picture on Tumblr. I don’t usually remember my dreams, but damn, it was fucking emotional. So just imagine with me…share my pain…
***
Garrus storms into the Med Bay where you, innocent, Y/n Shepard are out cold, being rushed to the Main Fleet on the Normandy after saving the universe. Now you were the last Shepard…
“Kaidan! Where’s Y/n?!” Garrus shouts, Kaidan is standing by your side. You were a member of the crew, a Lieutenant like James…very close to everyone.
You had been there since the start. Supporting everyone, doing your best to help Shepard- your older brother- even going with him to Cerberus to stop the collectors when you found out he was alive. Even Jack and Javik liked you.
But things went badly on the final mission…
“Garrus, please-” Kaidan tried to speak, tears in his eyes.
“No!” Garrus cut him off. “Where is Shepard?! He has to be okay! He’s always okay!!!” Garrus shouted viciously.
“What could I do, Garrus?! She ran after Shepard! I got cut off from them! What could I have done?!?” Kaidan shouted back, truly wanting to know…because he didn’t.
Both of them cared about you, more than they would admit…now maybe never being able to get the chance. It killed them inside.
“He-…he’s not dead!” Garrus stammered before walking up and grabbing Kaidan by the shirt. “Y/n isn’t dying either! She won’t-…” Garrus couldn’t even function to get words out at that point, going to a low-toned, but heavy, loud and guttural growl. He was too frustrated to think straight.
“Y/n said so, Garrus! If I could have, I would have saved him. Shepard gave his life for the universe, we can’t-…we can’t be selfish…Y/n just lost the last of her family…” Kaidan said grimly, his voice trailing off in hurt.
“Selfish…? You wanna know what’s selfish…? The fact that you didn’t protect Y/n like we promised to do! No matter who she picked!” Garrus barked and Joker came walking in, hoping to check on you, EDI flying with autopilot.
He came just in time to jump between Garrus and Kaidan before they could lunge at each other, practically foaming at the mouths with rage.
“Guys! You’re gonna wake her up and she’ll be pissed! Now shut.up! Y/n wouldn’t want this-” Joker stopped talking when all three heard a small sob.
The room was silent enough for a pin to drop and echo…
They all looked to you. You lay on one of the metal tables, your hair a mess, pooled around your head, your armor was ruined, ash and blood smeared the right side of your face where you had hit the ground at one point. You held your right hand over your mouth, tears streaming from the corners of your eyes, staring up at the ceiling as you tried to muffle your own sobs of grief.
“Y/n…?” Kaidan asked.
You sniffled and gasped in pain when a hard sob came. “A-all of you…g-get out…” You whispered coarsely, trying to find your voice.
“What?” Garrus asked in shock.
You snapped. “I-I said: G-GET OUT!!!” You screamed, your biotics causing loose objects- tools, pens, medicine bottles, papers- to go flying about the room.
They didn’t hesitate, knowing that if they stayed, they were dead, or worse, your wounds would get worse…
They left you alone in your grief…for now…
