You know, Shepard could of had the reaper war over with faster than the council could deny their existence if they just let thresher maws at them.

Working some more in Blender while I have some time off from work, so I recreated an epic scene from ME3!

Behold, Kalros in all her might!

Was hoping to offer prints, but deviantART no longer does that if you're not a core user (read: spends money). Debating putting it on Gumroad as a downloadable 4kwallpaper.

You know I did the survivor background for my first play through. Never thought I’d ever cheer for a Thresher Maw.

Reapers (Mass Effect) "Spoilers for the entire original Mass Effect trilogy.

At their core, the Reapers represent the insignificance of humanity (and other sapient creatures) in the face of an ancient and unfathomably wide universe.

The Reapers have some superficial similarities with the Extinction: namely, that their driving goal is to "Harvest" (i.e. commit complete genocide against) space-faring species. That said, their role in the text fits better fits the Vast.

First, the Reaper's plans play out on an incomprehensibly Vast time scale. In the Mass Effect universe, humanity experienced First Contact less than 30 years before the start of the first game. Contrast the Asari, who were the first species in the current cycle to reach the Citadel, reached the Citadel in approximately 580 B.C.E.. Operating on a still larger timescale, Protheans, the ancient species credited with leaving behind the mass effect technology, "disappeared" (spoiler alert: it was the Reapers) c. 48,000 B.C.E.. The Reapers' cycle makes even that timescale look like grains of sand. They show up every 50,000 years or so to carry out their "Harvest" and vanish into the darkness beyond the galaxy to bide their time. The Mass Effect wiki puts the years where their creators killed one of them (and therefore the approximate beginning of the Cycles) as c. 1,000,000,000 B.C.E..

Next, they're really, really big. Freaking ginormous. A helpful Redditor posted an illustration comparing one to skyscrapers in modern LA: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/2e3qui/a_reaper_to_scale_with_modern_day_downton_los/. The only ways Shepard manages to take one down on foot: (1) pulling a Mothra v. Godzilla thing with the terrifyingly large and aggressive Kalros, Mother of Thresher Maws, (this was a small one, BTW) and; (2) using a targeting laser and letting an actual fleet of spaceships do the firing. Sovereign, the Reaper vanguard, is several times larger than the largest ships galactic society has to offer.

(MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MASS EFFECT 2) You know Simon Fairchild's gargantuan person made out of people? The Reapers did that but even more gruesomely. Well, Shepard manages to put a stop to it for humans specifically, but each Reaper is a superstructure built around a giant representation of a species the Reapers Harvested, made out of matter collected from that species. It's their way of "preserving" the species. (Also, remember the part about cycles being every 50 thousand years and the cycles starting 1 billion years BCE? They've done The Great Beast thing around 20 thousand times by the time Mass Effect takes place.)

Then, there's the entire first conversation Sovereign has with Shepard. I'll be happy to send a video of it on YouTube via ask if the Reapers make it in, but highlights include: --Sovereign claiming to be beyond sapient comprehension. --Sovereign calling organic life "nothing but a genetic mutation." --This part: "The pattern has repeated itself more times than you can fathom. Organic civilizations rise, evolve, advance, and at the apex of their glory they are extinguished. The Protheans were not the first. They did not create the Citadel." --And this: "We are each a nation - independent, free of all weakness." --And this: " We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world. You cannot escape your doom."

Holy existential crisis, Batman!

Anyway, in the text of Mass Effect, Reapers serve as a literalization of the existential fear borne of recognizing that in the vast scale of the universe, humans aren't likely to be the first or only intelligent species--that we're young and tiny and only just beginning to understand the natural world. In the face of that enormity, are we capable of being meaningful? Or are we doomed to be void of meaning and impact?

The One Who Wanders And Waits/The Wanderer (Space Boy) "The Magnificent Bastard behind an Ancient Conspiracy to ensure humanity someday reaches the Monolith. It's intentions are unknown due to its Blue-and-Orange Morality, but it has used it's emotion-manipulating powers to slowly brainwash the entire staff of the FCP so they'll be easy to manipulate so it can achieve it's goals. When he was a child, Oliver encountered The Wanderer, who drove Oliver to a five-year-long existential crisis over the vastness and emptiness of space. He made Oliver see the world in terms of “The Nothing in between the stars […] a vast Nothing. An emptiness.” Oliver thinks that most people willingly ignore the “Nothing” because they’re frightened by it, but he can no longer ignore that “The universe is almost entirely made up of Nothing. Even the atoms in our bodies consist primarily of empty space. We are all just bits of matter, floating in the void.” This post explains it better."

Favourite game of the series?: Oh that's a tight one! ME3 wins due to the whole reaper fight & the citadel dlc

MShep or FShep?: Femshep, never really tried Mshep. Might try it so i can romance Miranda or Jack (yes i'm still bitter about that.)

Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer?: First playthrough was colonist

Biotics or Tech: First playthrough was soldier, after that i took biotics just to see what it was like & it was pretty fun

Paragon or Renegade: Mostly Paragon. I have repeatedly tried to play renegade but fail miserably

Favourite Class: Vanguard for the decent armour (i'm allergic to light armour lol)

Favourite Companion: Damm that's hard. Umm... it has to be Jack for sheer badassery

Least favourite Companion: I don't really have one

My squad selection: 1 - Liara and Wrex. 2 - Jack and Grunt. 3 - Tali & Liara

Favourite In-game romance: I've had several but I think Liara is the most... detailed? Fleshed out? (sorry I'm bad with words)

Other pairings I like: EDI and Joker.

Favourite NPC: Captain Kirrahe, Eve, Niftu Cal (bless him) Commander Bailey. does Kalros count?

Favourite Antagonist: the Illusive man for obvious reasons

Favourite Mission: Noveria & Jack's recruitment mission

Favourite Loyalty Mission: Tali & Grunt

Favourite DLC: Citadel, closely followed by Omega

Control, Synthesis or Destroy: Synthesis cause I really can't bear to let EDI die

Favourite Weapon: Valkyrie & Reegar Carbine

Favourite Place: In the Mako bouncing across planets 😁

A quote I like: 'Take your balls outta your purse & kick some ass.' Not the most meaningful quote but I always liked it

Photo Revives Debate Over Tuchanka’s “Colossal Thresher Maw”

A photo taken by Clan Ravanor miners during a drilling operation on the krogan homeworld of Tuchanka is reigniting debate on the existence of a colossal thresher maw. The photo, now being viewed widely on the extranet, adds to a long line of evidence that skeptics call an old and treasured hoax—and believers call irrefutable proof. For centuries, krogan settlements bordering Tuchanka’s deserts have told stories of entire clans swallowed by this colossal thresher maw. While locals claim the ancient creature is real, no outside sources have confirmed the beast's existence.
