How do you think the mass effect depicts would react to trick or treating? (Sorry if it’s been asked before and I missed it)

Halloween Pt.1

[Part 2]

Dw, you're good it's never been asked before. Even then, I don't mind repeating prompts if I had something new to add... Otherwise I just let it marinate in my inbox in shame.

Gonna assume this is about Mass Effect alien species and not specific characters since that's what I'm mostly asked about. If anything, it shows how impressive the world building in the franchise is for the whole foundation of my blog to be set upon mostly just the species content.

Asari

They think it's a little novel of a holiday

Surprisingly down to participate in it, both to "welcome our new human neighbours" and because they're genuinely intrigued

Most asari are hardcore

They take the costume making part of Halloween very seriously

A good handful of them do end up dressing up as Aria

Doesn't end well.

The first year of Halloween to them is a big hit

Becomes a whole trend and the Next Big Thing

Then like all trends, it ends up simmering down with time

A couple decades into the future and only some asari still celebrate Halloween, mostly the ones with human relatives or friends

But a lot of houses, stores, and even offices keep a honorary candy bowl for humans during this time of year

More as an accommodation

Human demand free candy from you during this one day, it's a given fact across the galaxy

And the asari are nothing but courteous and considerate of other species' customs.

The asari only ever hand out asari candy, absolutely refuse buying anything else.

Turians

You give the war nerds a chance to dress up as their favourite hero and expect them NOT to jump on it?

They even use real guns and weapons in their costumes

Aren't in it for the candy

Frankly they can't even eat 90% of it, and houses rarely have dextro candy soo...

They're content with being the person with the most badass Halloween costume in the room

Get too into character, however.

Especially the ones cosplaying as a specter

Especially the ones cosplaying as a certian specter Sniper from an infamous Normandy team

Turians think humans have the right idea about Halloween but the wrong execution

Everything is too easy it's...too boring

Where is the pizzazz? Where are the stakes?

The tricks. Oh yes the tricks

Instead of freely offering candy, you must impress the whole turian household first before they deem you fitting of receiving their favour

Sometimes whole competitions are put in place

They like it enough to incorporate an altered version of trick treating into their own holiday calendar

At least the human Halloween parties are fun

Turian houses hand out energy candy bars and dextro candy, which is...poisonous to humans.

Angara

So why can't they just give you the candy right away?

Why do you have to wait and dress up?

You can just ask, they'll give you free candy any day :)

Despite their words, they're the most likely species to pick "trick" when approached

They're just curious, they wanna see what trick you have up your sleeves

What do you mean "it's just a saying"

You don't have anything prepared? Then why did you offer in the first place

Now they're just disappointed, human.

They find the holiday a little strange, some are sceptical of how it could be enjoyable, others are very intrigued and excited

Chances are the angara would just observe the humans from afar

At least in the first Halloween year before deciding to take a dip in the pool

Others straight up immediately canonballing into the whole Halloween thing from day one

They end up enjoying it more than they thought. Going door to door and seeing their neighbours, meeting other friendly faces

They still don't see a point for the rehearsed lines, why not just ask directly for candy?

A lot of Angara do actually bother to prepare a trick

Ringing the doorbell to an angaran household, the door opens for you to be greated by one of the mothers looking at you in endearment

She compliments your costume, little nitpicky with the details, but hey, it's her sincere opinions

Lifting your candy bucket up in anticipation

You receive!

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

[naiitiel]

Angaras. My pretty boys.

UPD I added extraterrestrial backgrounds to my previous drawing :)

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

Confession: an angaran orgy complete with electrostim would fix me (to the mod(s): thank you for running this blog! I keep coming back, I love it here ❤)

So you know that “love biting” thing humans sometimes do? I’m imagining a non humans reaction to getting bit for the first time by their human friend or lover, they put their hand a little too close to the humans mouth and the primal comping urges triggered in the human. “Dude, wtf, why did you bite me?” And the humans just looking at them like 🥰

(Looking it up, the love biting seems to be an expression of cute or love aggression)

all fun and games until a turian/prothean/krogan decides to playfully bite back, and now the marks of their teeth are permanently engraved into your skin for eternity

Otherwise, yeah, munch munch munch! Even with our pets, we love pretending like we're going to eat/bite them, taking a chomp of air and puffing our cheeks as if we just took a bite from their fluffy fur/feathers

Our teeth aren't that sharp either, with only 4 semi-pointy canines, the rest are relatively blunt enough to run our tongue against, press into others without breaking the skin and give playful bites without worry about causing any actual injuries.

The rest of the species?

Only the salarian and angara seem...safe-ish to get bitten by. Asari appear—to us at least—to have the same skull and jaw structure of a human, they should have the same teeth.

Angara teeth remind me of rabbits for some reason, kinda cute. Or cats teeth minus the canines? I wonder if they don't have them or if they're simply just hidden.

Prothean teeth scare me, man. idk what's going on in there. Why is every incisor double-sided and growing sideways–why are the canines so pointy and long like a vampire.

A single krogan tooth is probably the size of your three middle fingers combined. And those are front teeth, god knows how big the back molars are.

Don't even get me started on turians, oh my god, those are legit razorblades.

The winners of "the worst species for a human to get bitten by" competition are:

The vorcha.

Mass Effect Conlang Project

Am I a conlanger or am I a masochist? lol. either way, I have been compelled to at least create a list in my computers file system of races from the Mass Effect Franchise that I want to try constructing languages for.

I have sixteen species listed so far that I have created a word document dedicated to each one's grammar. those species being:

Angara

Asari

Batarian

Drell

Elcor

Hanar

Kett

Krogan

Leviathan

Prothean

Quarian

Salarian

Turian

Volus

Vorcha

Yahg

I will level with you who are reading this post. not all grammars are going to get the same amount of attention. some I will be more interested in and thus spend more time on (*cough cough* Krogan). Some will get a barebones description of their grammar (Currently unknown). Not only that, but I won't be sticking to the canon. I am going the path of the Without Hesitation fanfiction and making this a self-indulgent side project that I will be sharing with you.

but overall, I hope to have fun with this side project. and I hope you who are reading this will be amused by what I come up with.

Heres a Mass effect andromeda jaal appreciation and admiring post & gif collection because I was thinking about him recently.
