sorrow not a man to me. worlds most ghoulish milf <3

I have a persistent problem with Andromeda that I can’t really fix the way I usually do, because I also have a glaring lack of knowledge in the subjects I’d need knowledge on in order to do it effectively

and that problem is the way the Milky Way species just kinda... barge into the galaxy like conquistadors

what I want is for the Initiative to have attempted some sort of contact with Andromeda beforehand -- if not long-distance contact, then maybe a set of recon-type missions where they stuck their heads into the galaxy to see what-all was around. in the process, they meet the angara and other native sapient species (mighty convenient that there’s only one native sapient species ingame -- assuming the kett are from elsewhere -- innit) and kinda just... begin a dialogue. “hey, we’re humanity, the turians, the salarians, etc. we’re thinking about branching out. how do you guys feel about that”

and for the sake of the story, say the angara agree to help, but they have some concerns and boundaries. an agreement is drawn up -- the Andromeda Accords, say. now the real work begins. learning about the native non-sapient species to various planets, learning new systems of biodiversity, learning how to minimise the Milky Way footprint on this new galaxy. here’s where my glaring lack of knowledge in scientific matters trips me up, but I like daydreaming about it anyway.

by the time the Arks are actually deployed, the only actual barrier is the unforeseen threat of the Scourge and the kett invasion. in which case it’s a lot easier to get everyone working together when the angara already know us, and know we are not invaders.

knocks about half the canon storyline right out of relevance, which probably is no great crime, but also... I’m just tired of humans barging in on everything and taking it over and then acting wounded when people don’t automatically trust that they have their best interests at heart. if I were angaran I wouldn’t trust the canon Initiative for a fucking second wtf

#i hate this kind of story!!!! i hate it #mass effect #me.headcanon

honestly you want to know how invested I am in my Shepards? I made them bitches immortal

#once their timelines intersect at the tower -- i mean the catalyst #it's basically the same function as apotheosis #anadima stays in the catalyst because ey genuinely want to be there #but london and adrian discover that they're very much invested in finding out what it'd be like #to live in this new universe they've created; as family #the awkward part is how to reconcile their timelines in the minds of their /crewmates/#i'm workin on that part #because dammit i'm in fucking space and we just rewrote the entire cycle of life and death basically #so i'm sure i can figure this comparatively little shit out #mass effect #me.headcanon

I know you end up “fixing” Elaaden with the Remnant shit which would just make the whole concept obsolete I guess but

wouldn’t it be cool if Elaaden had stillsuits

#a salarian probably invents them #krogan are like HA we don't need those but every once in a while you'll catch a krogan out in the deep dunes with one lol #mass effect #me andromeda #me.headcanon

One thing that always cracks me up is thinking about Mordin Solus being the premier expert on sexuality on the Normandy, thanks to multiple crew members coming to him for medical advice regarding their interspecies dalliances, and also thanks to Adrian Shepard and their “experiments”

I just imagine Kelly talking with him about the crew being stressed out and Mordin saying matter-of-factly as he bustles about the lab, “Still in sexual relationship with Commander, yes? Try applying mouth to organ. Very relaxing. Can send vid if needed.”

Kelly: “I-- what--”

Mordin: “Would do it myself. Can’t. Wrong oral configuration. Not as effective.”

Kelly at Adrian later: “I think Dr Solus just advised me to give you... a blowjob...?”

Adrian: “Ha! Good man.”

one of the things that really attracts me to alien/human sexual relations is the process of finding out what each likes about the other’s body -- Adrian Shepard loves Mordin’s hands, for example, and Thane finds that he’s a real tits man

and then there’s poor Jericho Ryder, who finds angarans physically and vocally irresistible and has to wake up sweating next to Jaal after dreaming about kett, whose similar bodily structure and voices crossed the wires in his brain in a very unsettling fashion

I’m really trying to clean up my Shepards’ story and it’s.... it’s getting Weird(TM)

I’ve got three Shepards. Adrian (my favourite, admittedly), the Renegade who chooses to Destroy the Reapers; London, the Paragon who chooses to Control the Reapers; and Ana-Dimitri, the Paragade who chooses Synthesis. Pretty straightforward.

So I started thinking... what if Ana-Dima’s outcome is the ‘final’ one? What if the three timelines converge at the Crucible, and when Adrian and London get there in their respective timelines, they link up with Ana-Dima and the synthesis not only involves organic and inorganic matter, but also the twin Shepards London and Adrian (they are twins, biologically) -- London the sacrificial Reaper and Adrian the all-too-human warrior? What if the synthesis creates a One out of the Three (a cosmic trinity, say), a Shepherd of Shepards, something intrinsically human and alien and machine that isn’t a Reaper but a... well, a Catalyst?

Maybe the Shepherd Catalyst quickens life and development when it looks like it’s flagging, instead of culling it when it looks like it’s getting too smart. I don’t know. I like it, though. It’s my kind of weird. I’m keeping it.
