COMMANDER SHEPARD IS A FRIEND OF MINE @atticantraverse - Tumblr Blog

the diana allers interviews in shep’s cabin in me3 are so unserious in some ways. imagine you’re exhausted and hopeless and experiencing these insane horrors and then you turn on the news to see a riveting and hopeful interview with THE commander shepard and the person that’s supposed to save everyone shows up in a hoodie they’ve been blatantly wearing for a week straight, darkest circles known to man under their eyes, fish tank full in the background, model ship half-completed on the desk. shitty club synth music bumpin. look at my galactic hero dawg im gonna die

going to sketch a series of these maybe?

various people finding out about shepard’s relationship 🌌

'Enjoy it despite its flaws' is one thing, but Mass Effect somehow invented its own category: 'simultaneously one of the most flawed and the most well-crafted sci-fi stories I've ever experienced'. These games are incredible. They’re the worst. All the women are sexualized. All the women have deeply flawed and complex personalities without being either demonized or romanticized. The first available f/f ship seems to be written along the guidelines of 'what would a straight man find hot'. As the games go on, they effortlessly include multiple same sex romance options given just as much care and development as the the opposite sex ones. You can play as a xenophobic murderhobo asshole. You can play as someone genuinely caring but also harsh, who inspires growth and co-operation wherever you go but who makes hard choices when you have to. You can kill civilians and punch reporters and commit genocide. You can stop a generational war and mediate peace and save several species from extinction. The robots are stereotypically evil cannon fodder. The robots are deeply complex with a tragic history. Your team mates are assholes with xenophobic opinions or justifications for police brutality and genocide, or they just want excuses to Do Murder. You team mates are deeply flawed and can be urged to grow alongside you. The most important aliens are all humanoids. There are plant aliens and jellyfish aliens and insect aliens and elephant aliens and aliens who can’t share an atmosphere with us. You have to drive around countless identically boring planets with little to show for it. You get to discover hidden secrets and civilisations millions of years old and live through some of the most emotionally harrowing scenes in storytelling history. I am going absolutely insane about it.

"This is the great krogan homeworld? This is the land of the Kregak, Shiagur, and Veeoll? This chunk of rock is barely even worth standing on! Never thought I'd miss the tank…"

Grunt really respects Shepard and looks up to you.

Could you imagine being the subject of such rare affection from a krogan? A lab built one designed for blood and war only to end up finding a guardian within you? A teacher and a protector who leads by example and treats him with the respect and autonomy he deserves?

Everything in him was not designed for love and yet he loves you much like a lonely neglected kid loves the teacher who inspires them to do better, you were the person to step up and look after him, you took him to his rite and you killed by his side for his sake.

All the time and effort you've put into someone you don't even know, Grunt is really lucky to have found a semblance of guidance in his situation. He could've very easily fallen into a darker path rather than get accepted by the krogans.

when the spring evening sunlight hits and you can be productive at six in the evening instead of dissolving into goo. fine. i guess the sunlight is powerful or whatever.
