started mass effect yippee. this is darani shepard

[dearophelia]

was thinking about predator and prey species the other night

and how salarians have their eyes on the front of their head

and how krogan have their eyes on the sides of their head

and I know it was probably A Character Design Choice and that predator/prey evolutions are different on different planets anyway and I’m thinking too hard about it, but I just think it’s interesting that salarians are predator species on Sur’kesh and krogan are prey species on Tuchanka

Peebee using poc as a "check yes if you like me" note is the cutest thing and only reaffirms my love for her

i want fic of joker between me1 and me2

about dealing with being the last person to see shepard alive, probably blaming himself for her death, for letting the normandy even get hit in the first place, for not being good enough

getting frustrated with the council and the alliance when it all falls apart, joining cerberus when it comes calling but still not feeling sure what he’s really supposed to do because they had a good thing going on the normandy and in the blink of an eye it was all gone

probably flying ships for cerberus for two years, boring jobs that have to be done, not being told much, getting frustrated all over again when it’s not showing the results he was promised, when he sees the darker side of cerberus at the edges (but he doesn’t have anywhere else to go, so–)

and then in the blink of an eye she’s back, they’re back, shepard and normandy both, and maybe, just maybe, all that bullshit in between was worth it

I have a Lot of questions about Liara’s apartment

(why does she have a fish tank, why do those weird binders with holes in the spines exist into the 22nd century, why does she have like eight shelves of them, why has she chosen to live in a place that’s just one big security concern, why are there three wine glasses on the counter, etc.)

but right now we’re gonna focus on one thing:

this knife block has four slots. all four are occupied. where the fuck does this fifth identical knife go?

i hate the reaper iff mission

whose bad idea was it to do Arrival today

(mine. it was mine. I finished Shadow Broker and decided that Arrival wasn’t as frustrating as I remembered

fam, it’s as frustrating as I remembered

especially since bonus powers are still broken and I get to run this as a vanilla soldier)
