It's been a damn good ride.

Citadel's 100 Sights

As you may have guessed by now, I LOVE taking screenshots of Mass Effect, one of the things I love most to "photograph" are the surrounding places and non-player characters, just like a real photographer would do in real life. In particular, I love wasting time on the Citadel, exploring and looking around just like a tourist would.

And that's where this insane idea came to me.

I don't know if you know the manga "Knights of Sidonia" (of which Netflix has also published the anime). - If you have not read or seen it and you are passionate about sci-fi, aliens and giant robots, I suggest you to recover it as soon as possible!

One of the features I love most about the manga are the illustrations that can be found between the chapters. It's a collection of images called "Sidonia's 100 Sights" in which different areas of the mothership are shown, from the most common to the hidden decks, with or without the characters intent on their daily activities.

I want to do the same with the Citadel (also inspired by @turianoftheday's work) and show you every day (or almost) a different scenario of the beating heart of the Milky Way galaxy community. So, I introduce to you my new topic trend: "Citadel's 100 Sights" (#citadel100sights).

Do you like the idea? No? I don't care. I will bother you anyway! XD

Ready? - LET'S GO!

Take us in, Joker.

Control ending where every time Garrus goes to the Citadel afterward, every room he enters is the right temperature. Traffic lights always seem to turn green when his skycar pulls up to the intersection. His credit chit always runs, but money never leaves his account. And every now and then he passes an ad holo and he swears he hears someone whisper his name in a way no one has for years.

Never did the Control Ending with Shakarian, but this would definitely be the best outcome for me. ❤️💙

Only one person among her most trusted companions had remained on board, a person who had no intention of leaving her, but reluctantly had to do so. They had discussed it for a long time, they even had their first fight, but in the end she had come out on top, and now that they were in orbit around Palaven there was really nothing left to change her mind.

Still, when the sliding hangar door opened in front of her and she saw him, the heart in her chest twisted, but she tried to maintain a cool, detached demeanour, as one would expect of a soldier of her rank.

Garrus was waiting for her impatiently, he had long since finished loading his luggage onto the shuttle, but he would never leave without saying goodbye. «Abigail!» - his blue eyes lit up and his jaws snapped into a smile, but the questioning glances from the other Alliance members made him remember the protocol - «Eh-ehm... Commander Shepard. I...» - she walked over to him and gently placed a finger over his mouth to shush him. He had a quiver that radiated down his back, as she turned to look authoritatively at the soldiers surrounding them. - «Can you give us a moment? In private, if you don't mind» - someone tried to protest, but others, with eloquent nods, invited everyone to leave the hangar and before long the two were alone. - «EDI, radio silence. Please.» - The AI's voice resonated mechanically within the deserted area - «You don't need to ask, Commander. And Vakarian? It has been an honour. Good luck on your return home. Goodbye.» - The voice disconnected, immediately after the Turian's reply - «It was an honour for me too, EDI. Goodbye.»

Happy N7 Day, everyone!

A little Shakarian fic to celebrate! 🥂

[milkywayes]

onwards. together.

Imagine how crushing it must have been for Shepard to read that. Yeah it's some Shadow Broker's stupid estimation but imagine reading that the person you appreciate and cherish the most in the world, the companion who was there with you at your highest and lowest, maybe someone you kind of want to keep close for the rest of your life, is probably unable to reach his full potential as long as you keep him close.

And you want him to reach his full potential. Cause he's your friend and maybe someone more and you wish him the best.

But you also want to keep him close. Cause he's your friend and maybe someone more and you wish him the best.

I mean, it's just Shadow Broker's stupid estimation, who cares? But "what if he's right?" will always be stuck somewhere in the back of Shepard's mind

OMG!

Reading this gets my wheels turning and I'm already grinding out a new Shakarian fanfic 😱

Mass Effect tribute: postcards from a better ending

Sorry, I don’t like endings unless it’s “happily ever after.”

After all they’ve been through — war, loss, nearly dying for the galaxy — Shepard and Garrus deserve more than just a memory —

Quiet mornings. Tropic air. Skin on carapace —

a soft epilogue for battle-hardened souls.

I prefer destroy ending, but she... She deserves to be happy

In the end I couldn't resist.

And I went back home...

James Vega had helplessly watched the whole scene, clutching Dr. Bryson's dying body in his arms. His protests had been to no avail; Commander Shepard seemed deaf to his every word, focused more on questioning that unknown alien entity than on saving an innocent life. He himself felt overwhelmed by her presence, and not just because she was higher in rank. She seemed almost possessed, her gaze bloodshot and her voice trembling with rage. The lieutenant had continued to rack his mind until they had returned to the Normandy and at that moment it occurred to him to talk to the only person in the Galaxy to whom that woman had ever listened.

Leave the light on if you're able 'Cause we both know you're unstable Call a doctor, say a prayer Choose a god you think is fair

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal (🎶 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 - Sʜɪɴᴇᴅᴏᴡɴ)

Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go.

'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you One more time let me kiss you Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way.

I'm finally playing Mass Effect (Legendary Edition) for the first time (many years far too late) and

Shepard, probably: I could take him

Garrus, probably:
