Playing the mass effect trilogy and something that really rustles my jimmies/sticks salt in my sugar/ etc etc is the absolute lack of hot butches to romance. My (supposdly) butch 4 butch Shepard is SUFFERING. Like. Assassin's Creed odyssey and Vallhalla and BG3 really spoiled me about this. Anyway, she's romanced Liara in the first game but imagine me doing the romance scenes with liara and me making this face >:( the whole time.

[sol-consort]

How far have you gotten in Mass Effect 2? Also have you gotten any other pets or just your fish?

I'm doing Legion's loyalty mission, and then I will go to the omega 4 mass relay. I've done all other loyalties

Just fish for now, I did get Kelly to feed them tho, the scene was very disappointing.

I got the varen to follow me on Tuchanka after I fed him some meat but he never on ship.

Oh and a space hamster! Is he the reference to Boo and Baldur's Gate? Foshkdjsw I loved Kelly's comment about him and the cute little squeek he does when you interact with his box.

I did the admiral Hackett arrival mission by accident because I didn't realise it was the one- I was underleveled with like two snipers and 5 upgrades but eh I managed.

I have several n7 assignments left but I read that I should do them after the game ends.

I'm thinking of ng+ but apparently doing that disconnects your ME1 import or something and your choices get ereased? Or is that just a rumour, Idk.

I think imma go with Thane's romance, the siha was the final nail in the coffin that sealed by fate. I'm very disappointed by how surface level they made Jacob when he has so much potential, his loyality mission was the third on the list of the most horrifically and emotionally scarring ones to do and yet we get very little in the aftermath or from Jacob himself during it.

The overlord takes the first spot no doubt, my god.

It just felt unfullfilling and like Shepard is the one gunning for a relationship when Jacob doesn't want it, only something casual and that's after a lot of time convincing him. I miss how Kaidan or Ashley would flirt with you by themselves without having to initiate it and you can reject them or encourage them.

Here I think they did this for the player's comfort, like in that Halsin scene where he asks if you're sure multiple times. But that was bear sex! We're talking about normal smooching here or holding hands.

Instead, it butchered the romance, and it feels like Shepard is making them uncomfortable and insisting on a relationship, pressuring subordinates at that too.

Maybe it's different with maleShepard? Maybe other romances would've been different. But Garrus and Jacob fully felt like they would rather be at another room. Garrus himself says he doesn't have a fetish for humans but will try for us. That's after he tells us to go sleep with another human instead since it's closer to home.

With Garrus, I don't want someone to fix it. I don't want a rapid dog to pull the leash of every time he wants to bite. It feels like I'm just here to make sure he doesn't murder others, he seems more emotionally immature than before. Hesitant and lost, I don't want to be the one to figure who he is for him, he should do that himself.

Thane so far feels the most romantically available funny enough despite how much he simps for his dead wife. There are still some few throw away lines flirting with Shep that are subtle enough to miss.

Calling you "siha" an angel, one of the messenger of his gods, a protective angel that helps and aids people. Before you two have any commited relationship.

Describing how he remembers everything in great details even the smallest kiss and lets the comment be, if you say it made you uncomfortable then he apologises.

And he loves his son, that's always the biggest green flag. While Jacob buries his emotion and is defensive when talking about his father, meanwhile Garrus changed so much, where did my polite kind turian go?

It also fits, he still loves his wife, my Shepard still loves Kaidan, and he doesn't have much time left to live. I see Shepard and him finding solace in each other's arms before one has to eventually leave. Shepard comforts him during his last years of life while he helps them mend their freshly broken heart. A win win. A mutual agreement.

The good cop bad cop roleplay also was the closest thing to playful I have ever encountered in a loyalty mission.

I tried flirting with Samara, man that stung.

Liara came to my room but didn't make a move?

Pov: You're Liara seconds after blueballing my Shepard and actually only coming over for wine.

I hate my romance options. I liked Tali's mission tho it was super fun and I don't get a lot of chances to yell and play the loudest human in the room.

Anderson betrayed us and knew about Horizon, you can go to confront him and say how he was your only friend left. He doesn't apologise and says it was a necessary risk, that made me lose respect for him a bit. Shepard does not have a single soul on their side in this lifetime.

I did some DLC by accident? That's kinda why I wanna restart with ng+ and do everything in the recommended order. Plus, the widow sniper is amazing, and I don't wanna part with it just yet :(

I liked taking Legion everywhere, but it's already end game. I had put off recruiting him because I didn't know the FF mission was his, I thought it was the last mission before the endgame missions, so I must do it last.

He looks so...ominous in every screenshot, like it's taken moments away before disaster. Ik it's just his headlights but man he looks ready to jump me. It made me realise how scary the Geth can be when you're not viewing them from a sniper's lens behind a crate miles away.

I thought the last empty space was for Liara but she left.

The game is 10/10, steps on your heart a lot and more angsty than the first game, Also everything is so expensive and I am so broke. The Alliance used to pay me per fucking kill, Cerberus are so stingy.

Gonna either start with a ng+, re-import my ME1 character or just move on to ME3.

7, 8, and 16 for the choose violence ask game!

Sorry for the late reply, but this ask got lost in my inbox till I found it again

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

I wouldn't say hate, I found a new appreciation for him, but for a while it was Garrus from the Mass Effect games. His fandom is so fucking horrible, I can't even begin to describe how awful they are. It's not just me who felt this way, but a bunch of my mutuals too. They would hijack EVERY post mentioning the other Love Interests and make it about Garrus and/or hate on the other LI. And some of the most homophobic, misogynist and racist shit were spewed by Garrus fans, i.e. they'd turn femShep into his trophy waifu, or the rampant homophobia when people shipped him with maleShepard, don't get me started on how they'd talk about Jacob and it's still happening to this day. It took me a long time to go around playing the games and distance myself from the fandom. I'm cool with him now, though.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

hmmmmhmmm I can't really think of anything atm? But the one that irks me is when Em See You fans insist that Peter NEEDS an adult/mentor even though 99.9% of his other versions are fine on their own, and prefer to work alone unless it's something big that needs a team-up. I just dislike the entire "the Avengers adopt Peter" thing. It's. so. bleh.

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

lol that ties into my previous answer - the whole Peter gets infantilized bullshit. I don't see the appeal of one of the most popular superheroes who's done incredible things in various adaptations (including the Em See You) to be reduced into a bumbling useless toddler trapped in a teenager's body. It annoys me so much when people completely disregard his intellect, his adaptability and his superpowers, mainly his strength. He can lift buses for crying out loud. Like yeah it's a common thing to make fun of him, because sometimes he does act like an idiot despite being smart, but he still can do great things and finds a way to defeat his enemies by using his skills. And the whole point of Homecoming was that he shouldn't rely on others and trust in his own abilities to become his own hero. But it seems like the majority of Em See You fans decided to ignore it and still write him as this uwu baby boy. It's so grating seeing your favorite superhero being reduced into This Thing. We can discuss the Em See You's writing all night, but even in those movies didn't do that to Peter. He still did great things, and like I said, the whole point of those movies is him not relying on others, but becoming his own full-fledged hero. He is not a toddler in canon idk who started this trope but I'm gonna hunt them down for sport /j

All the Mshakarian content I've recently seen has rekindled my interest in the Shakarian ship. Maleshep and Garrus are an awesome couple.

[luckyclownliu]

War comes and war goes, things happen while enemy ship shows. Making many friends but seeing many folks, seeing many highs and also many lows. A commander with regrets and hope to succeed, hoping that they'll follow and hoping that they will lead. Trials and tribulations running my mind as my hunger for adventure feeds, winning wars with so many good or bad deeds. Men and women by my side, along with aliens with things to hide. Secrets that are good or those that would not slide, the tears that they hold back for the ones that have died because of their pride. Facing enemies wherever I go, I believe I can get through it since there's so much to show. So many memories and so much pain, a normal being would have went insane. I went across the galaxy and made a psycho tame, remembering the fall of Normandy hurts my heart along with my brain. Thinking about the sound of the pouring rain, reminds me of the people that have fallen making sure that their deaths will not be in vain. I don't know what the future holds either if I am a villain or hero to all, I might be a cyborg but it will not be easy to make me surrender or fall. No matter what I choose I will stand tall, as a captain and a sergeant it is my duty to always answer the call. No matter if I'm male or female I'm not thinking about death, all I'm thinking about is doing my best with my final breath. #maleshepard #femaleshepard #masseffect https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwgBMjFs5l/?igshid=zppdmb3jwp0j
