Gentle reminder that your friendly neighborhood turian can curl up in a tiny ball when necessary. They don't have to stand around looking suave and menacing allllll the time.

Got the random idea for this and I just had to make them

[elusivetranscendent]

Ladies! If your boyfriend has

- Less than five fingers

- Digitigrade legs

- Only two digits on their feet

- Cute mandibles

- Blood that isn’t red

- And rough scaly skin

You might be dating a hot alien!

Garrus may not have a human fetish but I fear I may have a Turian one

garrus and his blackwatch goons from ->dreamt a cipher

these two are from when I was still learning how to draw Turians! my "test" characters so to speak. Helios Octavicus (left) and Cade Decrian (right). battle buddies who are totally a couple but Helios forgot and Cade has been lowkey about it since so Helios constantly has to remind himself they're """just friends""" and keeps his feelings at bay meanwhile Cade has been like "i hope im a good boyfriend :] lalala" the entire time I have a bunch of random doodles I've accumulated while I was learning and getting accustomed to turian anatomy

Okay so I know "turians purr" is like. Old hat and basically accepted fanon at this point, because they are Space Kitty People, but.

I like the idea that it's not necessarily a direct translation to "this turian is happy".

Like a human smile, it's all wrapped up with other body language and can mean a dozen things - a smile can be sad, or uncomfortable, or pleased, or passive aggressive, or threatening.

ME1 Shepard is paying close attention to her new alien crewmembers, so she figures out fairly quickly that purring suggests satisfaction or contentment more than outright joy - he purrs when she tells him "Good shooting today, Vakarian," or when he's finished a good meal or when he's cleaning his rifle, which she knows he finds relaxing. She knows Nihlus made a purring noise when she gave a response he approved of.

ME2 Shepard finds out that turians also purr as comfort, similar to the human shhh. When she goes to the battery after Aratoht and feels her face crumple and bursts into tears because 300,000 innocent people are dead and she couldn't save them, he wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on her head and rumbles into her hair until she calms down. And it's not just to comfort others - she hears him purring when he's semi-conscious in the medbay after he takes a rocket to the jaw, and when she alerts Mordin he helpfully clarifies for her that she doesn't need to be alarmed - Garrus is hurt, and scared, and he's self-soothing. He also purrs when he's floundering trying to flirt with her in her cabin before the collector base, and her translator chip interprets it as nervous laughter.

Like. It's a social behaviour. It's evolved out of "I am content" in some ancient Palaveni animal into basic comfort ("you are expressing distressed body language, so I am demonstrating calm, contented body language to reassure you there is no threat here") in primitive turians and into a dozen multifaceted social cues in an advanced species with a complicated culture that calls for formality and politeness.

I see your girl turians with boy features and raise you: the opposite
