72% chance I’m not actually krogan

Currently finished all of mass effect and mourning

I pretty much plan on rambling about my playthrough of the mass effect series and sharing my thoughts! Questions and comments are always welcome

Shepard taking their LI on a mission and before they exit the shuttle they clank their helmets/breathers together.

Do salarians live long enough to get dementia? Or because of how important their brain is to thrive a lot of their genetics and biology goes great lengths to protect it from any form of decay or harm. I’m sure dementia isn’t a strictly human thing. If anything I think it’s just as common amongst quarians, turians, batarians, and volus.

But like…most of the time quarians who are in the late stages of dementia or probably humanely euthanized. Turians rarely get to that stage due to war, battles, and petty arguments. Batarians typically do not get to live taht long and if they do it’s not unusual for them to be socially shunned. And for volus…yeah i think it’s a pretty normal part of their life actually.

To salarians though, where memory is picture perfect, their brain process things so quickly, and their society revolves around the use of your brain, imagine how terrifying that must sound. You start to forget people you’ve met. You act extremely erratically and begin to lose yourself. Your processing becomes slower and suddenly you’re useless to your people. In the salarian life span, the signs of dementia are fast and deadly. They come at a young age. It doesn’t matter what or who you were before it, now you’re seen as not only a genetic anomaly but someone not worth keeping.

Interestingly I think the response to dementia is much more grim. Their mourning you before you’re even dead, and for a time you know that.

I think it’d be cool to see salarians depicting dementia more of how we depict zombies.

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

imagining all of the me2 crew having to go to Shepard for money if they don’t have it. I honestly assume most of them don’t.

Kasumi and Zaeed and employed by Ceberus but are only payed at the end of the job, so they have to rely on their own money to get by.

Grunt doesn’t have a bank account, Jack’s is probably frozen like…permanently until authorization, Samara only spends it on basic needs, and Garrus straight up doesn’t have a job.

Miranda, Jacob, Joker, and suprisingly Mordin are being payed by ceberus regularly. Legion does not need money, Thane has a sizable bank account, and Tali tends to get a decent amount of chits for all the information she sends to the fleet(just enough for medical expenses and needs)

So generally Shepard’s crew ask for a lot of favors which involve a lot of shopping trips. Shepard leaves a notepad on the fridge for her crew to write down different things they possibly want or need. Shepard tends to use her Ceberus funds on a lot of stupid things so she’s more than happy to ball out on her crews whims.

Everytime the Illusive man reads a receipt of expenses from the normandy he smokes an extra pack. Hes seen more limited edition fleet and flotilla merch and accurate shark figurines than he’d like.

it's the end of the semester and i have like 3 pages left in my favorite notebook, meaning i reached the doodle page and rediscovered this gem

I’ve been thinking and thinking, and finally decided to create a series of works merging Mass Effect and Mermay. And I’ve finally finished Liara!!

She’s so sweet and gentle, so I knew right away that a jellyfish would be the perfect fit for her. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the same approach as my previous piece because I chose a rather unusual and challenging pose for this one... Even though I understand the anatomy behind the twist of the body, I lack the practice, which really added to the working time. Plus, I had to put a lot of thought into how to pull off the translucent jellyfish look, the movement, and all those little details.

Still, it’s been a while since I’ve drawn with this much productivity and excitement; it feels like I’m relearning my skills all over again... Но damn, I love solving these kinds of challenges, and I am sooo happy with the result!

By the way, we caught her right in the middle of exploring some Prothean ruins ;)

yes it’s me the idiot giggling like a school girl over my shepard and liara getting married in my game where i play with them like dolls.

[kroganmalewasted]

choose your own adventure except it’s shepard and grunt getting krogan male™️ wasted for a night on several different planets. It’s almost like getting white girl wasted except much more dangerous and it’s going off tropes exclusively.

My idea of how crests grow into shape from tiny little buds to fully grown arches

(I obviously just wanted an excuse to draw more baby asari)

[kroganmalewasted]

shepard, please stop calling our daughter a cannabalistic humanoid underground dweller. Yes i know the meaning of that word, it was made centuries ago. No it’s not funny shepard. No it’s ancient by human terms and completely degrading.

[kroganmalewasted]

making liara and shepard in tomodachi life is possibly the highlight of my week…the cuties…of how adorable they are…
