This feels...familiar

Every so often I’ll see interpretations of Liara’s N7 armor display as creepy/obsessive behaviour — and that’s a fair interpretation! But it got me thinking about my own interpretation and, well

It kinda makes sense, doesn’t it?

Whether you romance her or not, she still has that armor display. The archaeologist. Displaying the armor of someone Important™️, someone whose most recent importance was downplayed by the Alliance — support for Shepard’s Reaper theory was waning, the Alliance sent them off to more remote spots, Alchera happened…

Liara is first and foremost a student of history, and an Asari one at that. She’s trained to see those patterns of history, and knows a legend when she sees one — beyond whatever else Shepard may have been known for before ME1. And in the aftermath of Alchera, I’m sure she got her first real experience with how humans, and the Alliance in particular, will try to bury or gloss over inconvenient truths — if they can be bothered to acknowledge those truths in the first place

They didn’t memorialize Alchera until Shepard was back, two years later. They didn’t want to keep a spotlight on Shepard, on why they were even out there. But Shepard didn’t stay buried, and, well, maybe other ghosts wouldn’t either

All this to say I personally see Liara’s display as her own way of honoring Shepard as a historical symbol, as someone Historically Important™️, and part of that history is a part the Alliance wanted to forget, was happy to forget until they couldn’t anymore

But Liara wasn’t going to forget, and she’d make sure galactic history broadly wouldn’t, either. And in ME3, she takes that conviction one step further, seeding Shepard’s story, the story of the Reapers, all throughout the galaxy

That just reads as more narratively consistent to me, anyway 🤷‍♂️

[yandere-daydreams]

honestly cannot overstate how much more the newest chapter seven update has made me love ortho,,, what do you mean this (newly sentient) robotic child is the only conscious survivor of a population-wide calamity,,, what do you mean he's all alone for the first time and instead of falling to despair he throws himself wholeheartedly into saving his brother and all his new friends,,, WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GOT SUCH A STRONG BOND WITH HIS ADOPTIVE (?) MOTHER THAT SHE INSTINCTUALLY KNOWS HE'S SAFE AND DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO HELP,,, mr. ortho shroud version 2.0 you will always be famous. to me.

i think i see a pattern here with my favorite characters...

I want more cerberus Ghost fics. Not, like, porn though. I want gut-wrenching, horrifying origin fics. I want his terror and the raw intimacy of being combined with your teammates to be palpable. I want to taste it. And it has to be gorey and heavily synonymous with bone deep devotion and the act of giving himself up completely to the monster because it's the only way he can be close to his family again.

Genesis Rhapsodos Post dirge headcanon

He has a giant scar from the training room incident. Yes he got healed, but I imagine it would still scar and it would serve as a constant reminder of what happened, what he lost and also that he isn't invincible. I imagine it the only scar Genesis has and he probably has very complicated feelings about it. He probably avoids showing it to anyone he doesn't absolutely trusts.

What do you think Hades/Persephone Au Brutalia, with Talia as the Queen of Underworld and Bruce god of spring ?

OH. OH.

That has so much promise. I've always loved Persephone going to the Underworld willing, so I'll do the same thing here. But Talia is Queen of the riches, too. Riches are never truly pure.

Bruce being fascinated by humans. Bruce loving humans. Loving their resilience and their stubbornness and their steel unwillingness to go down easy.

But it's different with children. Children shouldn't carry the burden of resilience. And when little Jason Todd, Bruce's most beloved mortal, dies, -- murdered. He was murdered.

He can't sit by and cry. Tears without action is just water with salt. So he knocks on death's door, a tiny body breathing too quietly in his arms, and begs.

Talia's fingers are freezing. Ice and steel on his skin, tipping his chin forward, making him look death in the eye. And bruce doesn't flinch. " I don't control death. I tame it. "

"And you bend it. Please. An exception. Just for him. For my little bird."

Six seeds. For six months. Eternity isn't big enough a price for Bruce. Jason Todd was meant to live. Thought Bruce won't tell anyone a small part of him enjoyed licking pomegranate off Talia's hands.

" I'm trying," she says, " To make you...Comfortable. But I'm made of terrible, cold things. Things you don't deserve." Don't suffer. Not for me.

A common misconception about The Springbringer; No one survives without teeth. No flower survives winter by luck. " But things I want to earn. " Talia never touches him.

She's terrified he might wither and crumble. And so Bruce touches first. She melts for him, and he endures for her. "Would you let me earn you, sweetling?"

" Whatever you want, little dove."

Somewhere, In Bruce's garden, Demeter, -- thought he prefers Thomas, these days, -- screams so deep it shakes the earth.

Thinking about Vincent and being all happy about him then BAM! I'm hit with the realization that he will live forever. He will outlive the gang. See them in all their stages of life and leave their mark on not only the planet, but on him as well as he lives on. Yet it makes sense when considering Chaos. Chaos being a Waepon of sorts and ultimately playing the role of an end-all entity. Of course he sees all those who return to the planet. Of course.......

Hey, Ludinus? Go fuck yourself. FCG is dead — so many people are dead, but let's focus for a second on something that happened very recently: FCG is dead — not because he died clinging to the Changebringer or the illusion of the Gods, but because he wanted to choose the course of his own (very alive) life. Fuck you.

Somewhere in the messed up Greek gods/goddess family tree, Cerberus is Alabaster’s great-great uncle...?

Cos:

Gaea > Typhon > Cerberus

Gaea > Phoebe > Asteria > Hecate > Alabaster
