anyways if you don’t believe me believe mother. saying all stories must have conflict is reductionist & rooted in capitalist values

By the homeworld I hope to see one day...

Prints of this, as well as a few other Mass Effect stained glass pieces, are now available! I’d love to see/hear about it if you order any, it would absolutely make my day <3

This one, Femshep, and Mordin are the only ones currently finished, but I have plans to do a few other characters as well; you can check out the #mass effect stained glass tag on my blog to see the others, if they happen to exist when you come across this post!

I know that Mass Effect 3 gets a lot of shit - and fuck knows it deserves it - but I swear it also has the ability to make me feel more emotions than any other piece of media ever has.

Forget the endings bullshit, and the ridiculousness of Kai Leng - it's about Javik's voice when he asks you "Why didn't you prepare for the reapers, human?" It's the old lady whose daughter is dead on earth, but she doesn't know, and doesn't remember she's talking to her asari daughter in law. It's the kid in the refugee camp, waiting for her parents. It's Mordin singing Amazing Grace, Thane's last prayer, Legion and Tali on Rannoch - does this unit have a soul? It's asking the elcor ambassador how many of his people you managed to save and hearing "Not. Enough." It's hearing the casualty reports over the radio in London - areas reporting 90, 95 percent casualties - and knowing there's nothing you can do. It's hearing Anderson whisper "You did good, child" as he dies. It's hearing Hackett's voice and standing up one last time, ready to fight, ready to die.

“Ashley is racist!”

• so are Wrex and Garrus but I don’t see you making 100 posts about how shitty they are for not trusting the other species

“Ashley talks about her religion too often!”

• she mentions it twice • you know who really talks about religion all the time? Thane Krios. Does the fandom talk shit about him all the time? Nope

Tip: Just say “I like to bash female characters just because they’re women” instead of pretending to know about the characters

And another of my favorite double-standards:

Miranda:  “I was designed to be perfect.  Here are some of my best skills…”

Fandom:  “Wow, what an arrogant, cocky bitch.  Get the hell over yourself already.”

Meanwhile, a few hours later:

Grunt:  “I am pure krogan.  You should be in awe.”

Fandom:  “Isn’t my little tank baby the cutest thing ever?”

I recognize the council has made a decision, but given it’s a stupid ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.

Maybe it’s not such a privilege to outlive so many. To witness so much death.

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don’t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.
