mfw when writing and stories to tell and characters and readers and fun

fun

I do have MANY Kai leng thoughts I'm dying to share. I'm that meme of spiderman stopping the moving train with his body.

I haven't read any Mass Effect novels and comics before, I checked the wiki summary of the stories and they seem kinda interesting ngl.

If they add a lot of world building—the writing style of "All Tomorrows" and "Man after Man" for example—then I'd be fully down to reading them.

Either way, I found a copy of ME complete comics, the one with Aria on the cover. So let's read some of it!

It starts off with a badass picture of Thane oh my god we are off to a great start. LOOK AT HIM. What a man.

Holy moly turians are much more thicker than I remember, hips don't lie indeed.

Is two eyes a derogatory term batarians use for other alien species? That's an interesting detail.

Oh! look at their sharp lower teeth! They have an underbite.

Most humans have a slight overbite where our top teeth cover our lower ones.

You can only move your lower jaw, so when taking a bite, the food gets wedged diagonally like this shape / in-between your teeth for a second.

And that's useful since your mouth is more spacious at the top than the bottom, your teeth ensure the bite you take will smoothly slide to the empty top half of your mouth atop your tongue.

But batarians having their teeth rows switches means any bite they take will cause the food to slide underneath their tongue.

Is it intentional? Beneficial in some way? How do their tongues look like?

Batarians' bottom teeth are significantly sharper, indicating a meat-based diet? Maybe fish, insects, or other soft creatures because those canines would shatter otherwise.

They don't have incisors, and even lions have them.

So it's not about meat vs. plant based diet. It's about soft vs hard food. Their teeth imply that batarians can't eat hard food or carrots, for example.

Because you know who else have extremely sharp and lack incisors? fish, sharks, most aquatic omnivores.

What's interesting is that bats (the earth kind) are heterodont, aka their teeth are composed of a mix of different types. Some of them have incisors, others have fangs, most bats eat mushy soft things.

While batarians seem to have only one type of teeth that extends to the whole row of their mouth... well, we can't see their top row of teeth, so we can't really tell.

Anyway Liara just beat their ass in the comic, biotics really are op wow.

She's at omega now and holy shit look at those clothes

These are so fucking ugly.

You know what it looks like? Those 2015 DIY phone covers you made with a baloon, where you blow one halfway, quickly press the phone to it, and let it deflate so the rubber sticks to the phone back.

The titty window I can understand, the belly window not so much. Since when? Why not just wear a low cut crop top at this point? Why draw the line at covering your back?

why don't men get some belly windows?

Also I'm very interested in whatever those three have going on

Seeing a human and a salarian is common. A human and a krogan? You wouldn't bat an eye either.

But a human with both a krogan AND a salarian??!

Are they a poly throuple? Friends? Coworkers? Is the human mediating between the salarian and krogan? Why are they both standing up while the human rests?

It's almost like a face off between the salarian and the krogan, their body language is stiff and hostile while the human's is relaxed. They have the couch as a barrier between the two of them.

And damn salarian those are some strange knees buddy.

Hold a moment, what's that to the left side—what is that salarian wearing?

No serious. WHAT IS HE WEARING.

Ew.

Burn it. Take it off and BURN IT NOW.

What. How. Why. When? Why?? WHY?

Half circles? Belt? Brooch? Whoever sold them that jacket please step up to be thrown out of the airlock.

Racist bitch.

APOLOGIES!!! APOLOGIES RIGHT FUCKING NOW! YOU MADE THE ELCOR SAD :(((

And that's rich talking about trees coming from a drell, judging by the state of your planet, wouldn't assume you're familiar with any to begin with.

Something Something glass houses, now apologise to the elcor!

Skip ahead they're looking for Shep, Miranda shows up, things ensure and oh Liara punches him hell yeah.

OH SO NOW YOU'RE SUDDENLY AN ANGEL WHO FIGHTS FOR EQUALITY.

Get bent.

Oh.

Wait I just reached the end

He scarified himself for Shepard to return to Liara :(

He's the same drell we save in the Shadowbroker DLC, Feron, yeah.

I'm starting the second comic and it's taking place during the first contact war? that's actually interesting wait

I still haven't reached the one with Kai Leng, I hope it gives more information about his backstory. Either way thanks for recommending them!

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

Not Perfect

had a real life "and everybody clapped" moment and im still reeling. spent the rest of the ride comparing butterfly pics with the old lady next to me trying to identify it

Haven’t collabed with @renconner in a long while for a mini comic (minus our big one, Instinct). We were talking about one of Stan’s lowest moments involving being outside with that damn sign, so we decided to make a comic with Stan remembering it. I’ve also kinda of assumed Filbrick would lie to Ford about what’s going on with Stan (Stan probably did too to some extent).

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand
