Commander Shepard has been recovered. The Lazarus Project will proceed as planned.

Full version CW: boobs and body horror.

[herssian]

deepen the shadows bro. it'll be ok

[herssian]

i meant art-wise but if any dark sorcerers see this. you do you

[milkywayes]

careful, the kaidan stans aren’t gonna like that one 😱

(i have nothing against him of course it’s just his hardcore defenders on here are awful lmao)

the really aggressive ones have me blocked anyway i think lol <3 and i, them.

i think it’s fair game to discuss a character as long as i don’t put a negative take in the tags. if anyone gets mad they can take it up with his writers for making him have that interaction with shepard.

[milkywayes]

kaidan’s cutting corners conversation pisses me off every time i see it, the absolute nerve. goes in implying shepard is on the verge of fucking up big in some way and then refuses to elaborate why he thinks that before launching into his backstory where he’s comparing shepard to… the abusive turian he killed? implying she’s also capable of breaking a child’s arm? okay. what. dear god

 🛑 Stop Working for Exposure (Mathematically)

I'm an artist and medical student, and I use art to help me pay some bills.

I built a free, helpful tool because to help prevent other talented creatives from undercharging, as I really see this a lot online.

It's a calculator with a built in reality check

Input your survival costs and expenses

True billable hours

Get the rate you actually need to charge to hit a 20% (or whatever you choose) profit margin.

It generates the rate, a template negotiation email + final invoice.

Plan to keep this tool free, ad-free, and open to everyone.

🔗 Check your math: fairpaycalc.artres.xyz

If the "Thriving Rate" calculation empowers you to double your quote on your next job, please consider hitting the "Buy me a coffee"button. It keeps the server running and the code flowing <3

I am an artist and medical student and creator of Art-Res, a blog where I write and curate art resources. Hopefully you find art that bring

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

Commander Monroe Shepard pre ME1

[homunculus-argument]

They should invent the opposite of those colourblindness glasses - sunglasses you could wear to see everything in like greyscale or muted colours. Like fuck this day in particular, I am sick of seeing colours. Y'all are getting the 2013 instagram sepia filter today.

[formerlyluckymanticore]

Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

[rinnekosheart]

Just finished playing all three games a week ago. Here I am, playing it again, but with mods this time. Can't wait to get to the second game so I can romance Garrus.

Shepard Codex Prompts

VERY shamelessly inspired by a handful of Dragon Age codex prompts I've been seeing go around for a while. Sadly, I don't really play DA. And I really want to see some of this type of stuff for Mass Effect. Please note this only focuses on the original trilogy - I haven't retained enough of Andromeda to make a good one!

I'm very tired and it's been a long-ass week that still isn't over so I'm just kinda firing these off as I think of them. There may be more one day. Or make your own! Idk!

[cycloneartz]

they need to get a room

[milkywayes]

they must have put crack in garrus vakarian that’s the only explanation for the effect he has on me

[confirmed-and-contorted]

slamming your knights visor down when you’re finished talking to them, like slamming the phone back on the receiver.

[charlesoberonn]

Turning around to leave only to turn back and lift the visor up for one last remark before slamming it down again.

Another “he would not fucking say that” variation in fandom that I notice myself muttering is “she would not have enormous tits”.

Because That Side of Tumblr has gotten ahold of this, I just wanted to say that if you reblog this post, you’re reblogging from a nonbinary OP. This is a pro-trans post.

Also, here’s a really cool picture of Magnus Hirschfeld:
