Bit late to the party, but wanted to contribute to all the Mass Effect babies!

It's very rushed as I only spent 20 minutes on it but I needed the vision out of my brain haha

A smol Prothean...with biotics because they're bad ass and born with them! I have no idea how they reproduce or if it's ever been mentioned, but for some reason I see these fuckers coming out of cocoons.

Maybe it's just me?

Enjoy Primitives!

"Wait. Are we seriously considering..?"

"It appears we are."

"What happened to the survivors from the Conduit Project?"

[omegastation]

So regarding the Inusannon and this reddit post in particular about Bioware retconning the statues on Ilos that were supposed to be Protheans....

here's a survey below

I'm interested in what YOU believe or headcanon For the record those are the statues:

The statues on Ilos represent:

The Inusannon without a doubt

Inusannon husks close to becoming Adjutants already

A race belonging to the Prothean empire

Not the Inusannon but idk what they represent

Creepy art made by a race during the pre-Protheans cycle

A warning...........................

I DON'T KNOW DEB! YOU AND YOUR QUESTIONS!

I'll talk about an idea in the comments or tags

Some Mass Effect headcanons:

Aria, or some part of her, did want to get back with Nyreen after reclaiming Omega (though Nyreen would have declined). That Nyreen died before she got the chance really fucks with her head.

Small pockets of Collectors survive the war, cut off from Reaper influence (and retain or redevelop some level of sophonce despite all of their modifications and indoctrination). Javik is both disgusted and sympathetic when he encounters them, but as they are still part of his species’ legacy, he ultimately wants the best for them. Liara and Shepard remind him that they can't force anything on the Collectors, but they help make resources on Prothean history available. This lays the groundwork for a cultural movement called Neoprotheanism.

Jack is bigender and uses he/she pronouns.

The real reason Jack isn't romanceable by Femshep in ME2 is because she's way more intimidated by Femshep. Does this make up for BioWare's cowardice? No, but it’s still funny to imagine Jack being too intimidated (and turned on) to actually pursue Shepard.

The Illusive Man was a big fan of The X-Files, though he clearly took the worst possible messages from it. He consciously channels the Cigarette-Smoking Man when trying to present himself as mysterious and powerful.

Mass Effect Characters that I think are black coded or poc coded since this game has like 3 black characters in the entire series but one dies, one is meh and the other is the worst fucking character in the series who’s every negative black stereotype in the book

Jaal Ama Darav- Fucking obvious. Tbh most Anagara are black. Maybe all of them. Yeah all of them.

Almost all Asari. Like I can’t even choose one because every one I meet gives me black woman vibes, even Liara, especially with how they’re sexualized constantly . I think all Asari are black women ot just women of color (shut the fuck up don’t say ‘they’re blue of course they’re woman of color’ I will eat your soul) but I’m claiming Liara, Matriarch Benezia, PeeBee, Samara, Morinth and Aria mostly

Most if not all Krogan but I’m claiming Wrex, Drack, Eve, Kesh and Grunt as black. The others can be whatever

Vetra, Syd and Kandros are my only black turians

If I’m claiming Salarians I’m only claiming Kirrahe and Kallo because Kallo reminds me of my nerdy ass brother

All prothean’s are black because they remind me of the angara

Thane is black and since he’s like the only Drell I know besides his son he’s the only one I claim as black plus his son. Maybe that one drell Liara likes or whatever but I don’t remember his name and I don’t care to google it

As for the other races like the Volus, Batarians, Vorcha and Hanar they can be whatever. I feel like Quarians or some sort of European coded but then you have Reegar who sounds like fucking soldier from TF2 so idk I’m not touching it

Also don’t come for me with “Oh why are you headcanoning most of the krogan as black they’re aggressive that’s stereotyping” which like in the game all krogans are stereotyped as aggressive but you have those who aren’t like Kesh but she’s treated as such by Tann and others just because she’s Krogan even though she’s a scientist who wants to use her brains, Eve who’s physically restrained even when she’s the one in danger all because of the stereotype of all Krogan being violent when she prefers to use her brains and even criticizes other Krogan for their old archaic ways of thinking with violence, like they’re treated how black women are treated all day every day 24/7 365. I’ll headcanon them as black if I want to.

If you want to know why I claim most of these characters as black feel free to ask but so far this is my list. Also I might do a thing where I draw a human design for the characters I think are black.

And if you disagree with these let me know why. Even though I most likely won’t read it because nine times out of ten when someone objects to a non human character being head cannoned as black it’s for racist reasons so I genuinely don’t really care if you disagree

[but-a-humble-goon]

When Shepard asks Javik why his people lost the war with the Reapers I was really hoping he'd respond with something like "because their height is literally measured in kilometers, what the fuck do you want from me dude?"
