Alright, I need some opinions
I want to draw the Lazarus Project, but I am conflicted about how I want to draw it. On one hand, it's canon that she was on an operating table. On the other hand, it would be cool as hell to have her floating in a tank like a science experiment. What are your opinions on this?
How should I draw the Lazarus Project
Operating Table
Tank
Give us all the art and draw both versions
what if u were a hydra experiment, and i was a hydra experiment, and we were both men
My Blue Star
“Blue. His blue. It became my favorite color—the only hue that mattered in a universe turned to ash. But I eventually learned that blue is also the color of stars that die in total silence."
I fell in love with a Turian of arctic eyes in the middle of a funeral that had no body to mourn. Garrus Vakarian was my only anchor in the void, the sole horizon I could see whenever the towering shadow of my brother, the Great John Shepard, threatened to eclipse me. But in this galaxy, love between species often feels like a cruel joke—and I was the only one who didn't catch the punchline.
He vanished without a goodbye. No note. No reason. He left me standing like a hollow statue in a Citadel that reeked of his absence.
When Cerberus approached me with the Lazarus Project, I didn't say yes out of heroism. I said yes because I was already dead behind the eyes. If my flesh, my blood, and my very breath could serve as the scaffolding to rebuild the "Important Shepard," then let them take it all. I was nothing but a cosmic ghost searching for a place where it finally hurts to breathe.
I was ready for the fluid in that tank to drown his name out of my mind. I was ready to be the sacrifice John needed to save the world.
But destiny has a twisted sense of humor: my brother has awakened, the galaxy is tearing at the seams, and somewhere on Omega, a lone vigilante is still firing into the dark... never knowing that I died just so he could have a hero to follow once more.
Can Mara Shepard survive the resurrection of her brother and the ghost of the man who shattered her soul?

im finally catching up w s2 of lazarus project and dennis rebrov they can never make me hate you
Looks like LAZARUS PROJECT S2 is due to air on 15 November. I suppose wherever you saw S1. Glad to see it here, especially given there is not much else around, hey @theladybeatrice ?
Wanted to share in text form (easier to read) an (alleged) cut conversation between Ashley and Shepard in ME3 that was posted on reddit 11 years ago. the source provided in the comments was deleted, but I still think it’s an interesting read regardless. obviously there's no dialogue branches, and some stuff is written a bit awkwardly, so it could be possible it simply wasn’t finished or isn’t real. anyway, enjoy! also sorry if this has been posted before.
Ashley: Hey Commander, I was just about to go look for you. I have a question for you.
Shepard: What’s up?
A: I wasn’t sure… well. It’s not exactly regulation.
S: I’m curious. Shoot.
A: Laying there in the hospital, I had a lot of time to think. Lots of stuff going on, lots to try and deal with.
S: I understand. I’ve spent more time in hospitals than my own ship.
A: …and thanks for coming by. Hospitals always make me nervous. Something about shuffling off our mortal coil, y’know? I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I hate hospitals.
A: Hate the smell. Hate the colors. Hate the reminder of… the end, y’know?
S: You… had a question?
A: Yeah… well, I guess I’ll come out and ask; you were dead… weren’t you? I mean… really dead. Right?
S: So I heard. I couldn’t say for sure, but I think so.
A: What did you see? Bright light? Dark tunnel? Anything?
S: That’s a big question, Ash. I’m not sure the answer will be what you’re looking for.
Ashley: It is what it is, Shepard. There's no right or wrong.
S: I was wondering when you would come out and ask me. People haven’t really asked.
A: That’s hard to believe. You died! You saw what’s next. How can anyone not be curious about that?
S: All right. I’ll tell you what I know. The truth is… I don't remember much.
A: What do you mean?
S: I remember floating after an explosion in the Normandy pushed me out into space. There was a sharp pain in my chest. I couldn’t breathe but could feel the air being leeched from my lungs.
S: I struggled, tried to stop the air from leaking- all pointless… but it doesn’t take long before it was all blackness.
A: Did you see anything?
S: I did see a light.
A: Really?
S: It was the Cerberus lab, Ash. Nothing else. I heard voices, muffled for a bit. The next time I woke up, I had to escape the facility.
A: So you don’t know.
S: I don't know, I’m sorry.
A: I guess the big question won’t get answered today.
S: I’m afraid not.
A: Well, crap. You failed as my life-after-death inside source.
S: I could dance for you.
A: Please don’t
S: To tell the truth, I don’t remember anything.
A: Nothing at all?
S: Even with my experience, I don’t think I should be answering questions about your beliefs.
S: When I realized what had happened. What Cerberus had done to bring me back… I panicked. I shut down.
S: I pushed the fear away just long enough to deal with the Collectors… but it didn’t stay away.
S: The time alone in Alliance lock-up I had to confront what I was.
A: What are you afraid of?
S: Ash, I don’t know if I died and came back… or simply died.
A: What do you mean?
S: I don’t know if this is the Shepard you knew, or some incomplete copy. I don’t know.
A: Does it matter?
Hello everyone!
I’ve been rather silent for the past month or so- to make a long story short, October started with a new job as a teacher, went on with a close encounter of the awful kind with Covid, and ended with me being accepted into a PhD program.
But I’m back, and with news: after months of work, I’m proud to announce I’m finally publishing my first multi-chapter fic ever, Between The End And The Beginning.
I posted snippets, I’ve raved about it… and now it’s finally here, so enjoy the read!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
A special thanks to my muses @painterofhorizons and @commander-krios (who also did an amazing work as a beta reader), and to @spaced0lphin cause of course this fic will eventually evolve into pure Shoker, and the HatBoy mod has provided the best inspiration for it.
