goodnight, fab five 💫

but if we were gonna lean into the goofy side of mass effect we should have had a thing in the citadel dlc where all translators get disconnected for comedy reasons. all the humans suddenly have much more pronounced accents or even flat out other languages. kaidan speaks tagalog just to annoy others who havent bothered to learn anything other than english in the 22nd century. tali can actually speak other alien languages because quarians rarely have fully properly translated VIs courtesy of the galaxy sucking. krogans sound twice as intimidating and wrex enjoys it. turians sound like somewhere between a cat and a bird clicking and squawking and everyone laughs about it. asari inexplicably sound a thousand times more beautiful but also none of them can speak a single word in another language except liara t'soni nerd extraordinaire but she's only fluent in mandarin considering it's the most populous language on earth. the whole incident lasts five minutes but it's enough to be the sole conversation topic during the party afterwards

Most annoying online emotion is "I have a funny personal anacdote to add to this but it doxxes like all of my personal information"

with time to think about it this is actually very fun to think about in parallel to Seven's line in the next episode, "it is in my nature to comply with the collective." Because ugh..... how to say it. It's not like that with Vulcans per se. It is in their natures to comply with the dictates of logic. But for those Vulcans we know who are placed in positions of community, they find it logical to support the community, and without an attachment to their own lives are willing to give them up to support the other pieces if there is a high enough chance of success. It is in my nature to comply with the collective; it is in my nature for to ensure the collective survives......

Thinking about how even though most people draw (understandable) parallels between Spock and Data, going by family dynamics Deanna Troi is a notable parallel to Spock.

-Half human/half psychic alien species

-Both's non-human parents were specifically famously effective Star Fleet diplomats

-Whether real or perceived seen as lacking in a lot of the qualities prized/specialized in by the non-human parent's culture. This is brought up untactfully by said non-human parent

-Nevertheless the field they went into heavily relies on said trait they allegedly don't have

-So much family drama

-Shenanigans related to betrothals that neither of them goes through with

Which is to say Spock deserved a moment similar to Deanna Troi where she got to storm out of a dinner where her mom was being particularly belligerent and smash a vase on the way out.
