Alright but can you imagine being a dwarf from Orzammar, a city surrounded by lava, leaving for the surface, and ending up in the Frostback mountains?? Imagine living in an oven your whole life and walking into the snow.

I have been successfully tempted once again. No promises for the future.

Passing skill checks with bad rolls is hilarious.

Okay, but can I just say how much I appreciate the hardsuits in the first Mass Effect? Mass Effect? More like ASS Effect, am I right? 😎

Some Alec Ryder Meta

So since I couldn’t find the screenshots of Alec Ryder’s dying ‘thoughts’, I went and got them myself!* And I am uh way closer to crying than I thought I would be, Alec sort of surprised me here. Let’s go! 

I was NOT prepared for his literal first thought to be of his children. And notice – this is not his children being impressive or special or idk ordered/obedient. It’s them being happy and safe and playing and chaotic. I uh did not expect this, frankly.

These are the moments that make it all worthwhile.

I had a thought.

What if instead of Alec dying, Ryder was injured on Habitat 7 to the point where the only way to save their life was for Alec to give them Pathfinder access so SAM could revive and save them, suddenly making our Ryder the Pathfinder with a freaked out Alec who almost lost both his children in one day and doesn’t know how to help his kid-turned-pathfinder because he’s never been present enough to get to know them, much less know how to help them

You know, now that I think about it Ryder has to be fucked up. Besides obvious reasons.

Okay, so your Dad dies for you, your Dad who was supposed to keep the mission together, the big damned hero, he dies to save your ass and you get his job. And everyone says how they wish your Dad was here, wishes he could do this, or at least implies it. Because everything would be better if he was still alive.

People probably don’t realize it, cus either they don’t know how he went or they never thought Ryder would read it that way, but you know how that must sound? 

It would be better if you were dead instead of him.

Alec Ryder: I made my child the Pathfinder.

Liam Kosta: No, you’ve ruined a perfectly good human is what you’ve done. Look at it, it has anxiety.

Okay but consider a Mass Effect Andromeda where the Ryder family stays whole. Alec doesn’t die, the second Ryder twin doesn’t end up in a coma. 

Imagine Pathfinder Alec Ryder getting to actually be a pathfinder, but also having to cope with his two children who are both canonically huge dorks. 

Consider Alec trying to be diplomatic while his two grown ass children are behind him getting into a silent slap fight over who gets to ride shotgun in the nomad. 

Consider Alec “so emotionally constipated he’s shitting out diamonds” Ryder having to deal with Jaal “I’ve known you for ten seconds let’s talk about our feelings because the angaran social filter is nothing like yours” Ama Darav. 

Consider Alec having to constantly put himself between Reyes and whichever offspring has come with him because the guy will not stop flirting and this man is a criminal and we only need him for his connections, stop winking back.

Imagine Alec bonding with Evfra over the difficulties of leadership in an impossible situation, and having the lives of an entire species depending on your success.

Now imagine that scene but it keeps cutting to Scott and Sara daring each other to eat the weird alien food. 

Drak offering Alec parenting advice!!!!! 

Alec putting Peebee in time out until she can behave herself. 

Alec putting on his Parent Voice when Gil and Kallo fight – it’s not even on purpose, they just sound so much like bickering children.

Alec having to deal with the fallout from the disastrous beginnings of the initiative – would fewer people attack him to his face? He’s certainly a lot scarier and a lot more intimidating than the canon pathfinder is. 

Imagine Alec walking in on one or both of his children making out with their love interest. Imagine that ride on the Nomad.

Jaal trying to talk to Alec about it to reassure him of the true depth of feelings he has for Sara but Alec Does Not Want To Have This Conversation. Cora loves Scott but oh god she’s sleeping with her mentor’s son and he knows but he isn’t saying anything why isn’t he saying anything.  Liam practically climbing under the table whenever Alec enters the room because he’s sure his boss is going to space him for making out with his daughter.

Sahuna Ama Darav emailing Alec because “we’re going to be inlaws let’s talk about medical histories and plans for grandchildren!!!”
