#peebee rambles

[fandomsoda]

Ok question- what do we call the “weird toy” fandom/side of tumblr? Like Furby’s, worms on a string, ItemLabel stuff, that kind of funky things? Is there a common/regularly used community name for that stuff? Just curious.

So I recently started my andromeda playthrough again (after not playing it for over a year 💀 I couldn't remember anything) and I LOVE Reyes. This games combat is pain and suffering but I will play it again just to romance this bastard. Also, I was way underestimating Jaal. He's so sweet and I love him. My opinions on Peebee remain the same in that I absolutely adore her and would do anything for her (literally love at first sight, oh my god). Vetra has also grown on me, I never disliked her just was indifferent but I genuinely like her now. Liam isn't as good as I remembered. He's still okay just meh. And Cora, I still hate Cora. Her background with the Asari is still really unique and fun though. Hate her still. I really love Gil still, genuinely just fun and interesting. Suvi is still really cool and I could see myself maybe coming back to romance her and Gil somewhere down the line. And Kallo is alright, a little boring if you ask me but fine. Ryder is funny and genuinely enjoyable at times and other times completely annoying and insufferable.

Now... to resist the urge to also replay andromeda...

[ageless-aislynn]

Oooo, you play mass effect, it finally clicked in my head. Who do you romance in Andromeda?

Also, I really did enjoy the game regardless of the amount of hate it got

ZOMG, you must've missed me at my most Andromeda obsessed, lol! I haven't actually been able to play it since last November, when my previous computer gave out and then this one has been super lousy. However, as soon as I can hopefully get my Vegas back on and thus be able to GIF (and vid) again, I'm planning on going back to Andromeda to finally finish the big Ryder twins romance GIF project I had going, lol!

In short, I've romanced every single option available except Scott/Peebee and Scott/Jaal. Scott/Peebee was in progress when I got derailed. But here are some posts I've made about various things, if you'd like to see them!

Sara's romances with Jaal, Reyes, Peebee and Vetra

Scott/Cora and the shocking, unexpected Scott/Harry romance 😂😜

I was working on the Scott/Gil vid here

I've vidded Sara/Reyes, Scott/Cora, Scott/Gil and my final vid ever was about Scott and his dad, Alec

Mass Effect: Andromeda incorrect quotes

Me at the bottom talking about doing an Insanity run and showing my Sara in her Mjolnir-like tanky armor plus the name of my crafted weapons 😂

I absolutely adore this game and I've honestly missed playing it so much! Also, did you know that Kate Kennedy aka Kai from Halo is the voice of one of the Angara?

I romanced Avela as Scott JUST for that fact alone, lol!

Anyway, like I said, I never did get the chance to finish making GIFs for all of my romances and I still hope to finish those last two for Scott. As for which are my favs...

Sara: Reyes. I'm a sucker for that scoundrel, what can I say? 😍😇 But Vetra is a close second. I have to physically restrain myself from flirting with her if I'm planning on romancing somebody else because there's no way I'd hurt my best Turian girl like that! 😱😉

Scott: Gil surprisingly became my favorite "I have to make SURE not to click the flirt options if I'm romancing somebody else" romance. I also, no surprise, loved his romance with Reyes. Cora also was great!

I honestly really enjoyed all of the romance options, except for Keri's (the reporter) and not for any fault of hers but I disliked how she looks kinda uncomfortable with either Ryder flirting with her while she's just trying to do her job. I felt like a real creep, I have to say! 😩Then at the end, after I've annoyed this poor Asari at her workplace this entire time, the "payoff" was we went from a table at the Vortex to Ryder's just suddenly outside of her room? Not even a kiss? 🫤(I legit have headcanoned that Keri never actually let Ryder into her room, just went in herself, closed the door, and left them out in the hall, lol! "That's for continuing to come on to me and never taking the hint while I'm clearly just doing my job, you creep!" 😖😂😉)

If I could've romanced Evfra *points up at his pic above* I totally would have because I'm a sucker for a good "enemies to lovers" trope, lol! And I think Evfra would haaaaate himself for falling for the human Pathfinder. 😍😍😍

I clearly have put a lot of silly thoughts into Andromeda, lol! Anyway, thanks so much for letting me ramble about this! Who did you romance? Have you played as both twins or do you prefer just the one? Default or custom? Do you mod? My computer was coming off the rails at the time so I've only stuck to what's available in-game but I've seen some beautiful Ryder twins and some awesome clothing options with mods. 😉💖💖💖

" are... are these good tears? or bad tears? "     ⤷ @sailingtempest ✧ jaal ama darav.

It'd been a long few days. She'd rushed back to the Hyperion when a message about her brother came through, immediately needing to know. He was awake, at least; still recovering, but recovering was much better than still in a coma. After losing their father, Scott was all she had left; she couldn't lose him too, not with how things were going. She needed something. But even after learning that, it was a lot to take in. There was so much she needed to tell him, so much she owed him, and well... That was even harder to comprehend. She'd hoped for a little bit of alone time on the Tempest, at the very least; everyone else should have been out for their shore leave on the Nexus.

“Huh?” Oh, hell. She’d been caught? And by Jaal, of all people. The last person she could probably mask from. He’d talked about how the angara were more… open, and honest with their feelings. It was something Gabby wished she’d grown up with. Sure, her mom was like that, but not her dad. He’d been all work, work, work—something she’d had to adopt even in the military. But the news about Scott just meant she couldn’t hide it any more.

“I, uh… hah—I don’t really know, if I’m being honest,” Gabby admitted, idly pulling her braid over her shoulder. She’d had to braid it herself the last few months; it was one of the few things Scott always insisted he’d do for her when he could. Even as they’d grown older, it was their little bonding ritual. The one thing they shared any time they could. “There’s just… on one hand, relief. Scott’s—awake, and… I’m happy about that. I’ve been so worried about him. But…” But there was one tidbit she’d left out while he was out. One small thing she hadn’t been able to tell him, not until he was awake and okay.

“I never… told him. About Dad. About how—how he made a choice, and… that choice meant he decided between me or him. I know it was wrong to not yell him, that it was wrong to lie, but—the only way we could communicate was through our SAM implants. How could I tell him that when he wasn’t awake? I couldn’t risk telling him and having that affect his recovery. Because if I lost him…” She didn’t even want to voice that thought. If she lost Scott, she’d lose the only family she had left. Sure, she had friends and comrades, but that was different. Very different.

Realizing how much she’d rambled, Gabby snapped up straight, cursing at herself. “Oh, god. I’m sorry. I just—ugh, good job Gabber,” she muttered to herself. “I think Peebee’s motor-mouthing is rubbing off on me.” Scott would have told her she’d gone “full Gabber”, but she wasn’t about to give anyone that ammunition.

Man I fell head over heels for Bellara because she is the way she is. She's silly and sweet and talks a lot and I love her little rambling tangents. I found her incredibly likeable and charming from the start. Heard her little exclamation of "Oh! People!" when she's initially introduced and I was done for.

You wanna know why? Not because I relate to her, but because she reminds me so much of my partner (ADHD and on the spectrum). They do pretty much all the same things Bellara does. They are so chatty about their interests but can get easily carried away by random trains of thought. They are self-conscious and shy because of how people treated them due to their quirks of character. They have often spoken of how they were picked on and treated horribly for how different and 'weird' they were as a child.

I think Veilguard bungled up some of their characterization choices in this game, but Bellara isn't one of them. I didn't think even once that she was one of those "trying to hard characters" (aka Peebee in Mass Effect: Andromeda). Her character felt solid and natural. Maybe I'm just biased because she reminds me exactly of the person I love most in this world, but I think she's great representation.

there are some things a character should not be able to tell us about themselves EVEN with a gun to their head. depending on the character that could even expand to include "most" things

[misshorrorotaku]

This will just be some rambling I’m writing down cuz I don’t currently have anyone (who’s currently available) I’m comfortable talking to this about, feel free to ignore.

As usual my brain is being mean. I got to thinking about my value of things like my first kiss and stuff, and then that lead to me thinking about partners, and that, as usual, lead me down a shitty line of thinking.

So, I know that I’m 100% at fault for my not having a partner in 11 years. I’ve never made the effort to get one, or even to make myself a bit more attractive so someone might think I’m worth flirting with. Now, I’m not disgusting or anything. I shower, I wear deodorant when I have it, and I take care of my teeth and brush my hair. But I’ve never gone further than that, towards actually trying, ya know? Like, I’ve never made sure my hair looks nice before leaving the house. I just brush it, put it in a ponytail and call it good. I don’t try to wear nice clothing or wear cologne, or well, really put any effort into my appearance. I just wear what’s comfortable, and make it so I don’t look like I just climbed out of some basement. XD Not to mention because of my social anxiety, I’ve never talked to more people than is necessary and certainly have never flirted with anyone. My being single is 100% my fault, and I’m not angry about that. Not even really all that upset about it, I mean, to me it just feels like it wouldn’t be worth it cuz why should I waste time making myself look nice? Even if I did, it’s not like I’m physically attractive, but regardless, I’ve had the mindset for the longest time that if I need to put the same effort I’d put into my appearance if I were going to a nice event, or going out on a date or something, in order for someone to decide I’m worth the time to get to know, then I don’t want any of the people I’d attract that way. And that’s because I honestly don’t care about that in a partner. I actually find it pretty cute when a girl doesn’t act like she’s going to a fancy dinner every time she goes out, and wouldn’t even really expect her to dress nice if we were going on a date, so looking nice every time I leave the house is just a not a standard I want applied to me since I won’t apply it to anyone else. Hell, I of all people know bodies tend to be gross sometimes, so to me I don’t even really care if sometimes someone smells. To me, yeah, I want folk to shower cuz they’re cleaner that way, but you don’t have to smell like fucking roses or anything. It’s always felt silly that we demand that of people.

But anyway, as to how my brain was being mean, I started down a line of thinking that it would be better to just never try at all even when I meet someone I like. That I only have one chance to choose who I give my first kiss, virginity, etc too, so it would just be better to never have to choose. Can’t make the choice if I have no partner, and if I never get a partner, I’ll never have to decide. And most importantly, I’ll never have to deal with making the wrong choice. I’ll never have to deal with having given one or more of these things to someone and then having it be over. I know reality isn’t kind enough to make it so my first choice will be the right one. That’s not how relationships work. That’s not how the world works. So better to just never choose, right? My brain seems to think so. And part of me feels it’s right, especially given that when it happens, when I make the wrong choice, not only will my brain find some way to convince me the break-up was my fault even if it wasn’t, I’ll end up torturing myself for making the wrong choice. For being stupid enough to think I found the right one. I know for a fact that’s stupid and maybe even childish, but I know it’s what’ll happen. And I know that when it does any shells I had come out of I’ll retreat back in to. That’s just how I work.

Childishness, really. That’s what this is. Immaturity and self-deprecation. Stupid. Pointless. Not something I should be allowing myself to think, and not something I should be sharing on tumblr of all places. XD I just know one of these times I’m gonna get into some discourse and someone’s gonna drudge this shit up and call me an incel or some shit. I might delete this later with that in mind. Or maybe I won’t. Who knows? I guess we’ll find out later.

[imakemywings]

Oh it’s so hard not to flirt with Vetra

[redoqs]

You know, now that I’m talking about it: Mass Effect Andromeda was awesome, it was a very fun game with very cool characters that were, in my opinion, much more relatable than a lot of the people in the original trilogy and yeah it has its issues but I love it, it’s my favorite ME game🥰

[critter-of-habit]

have you played mass effect andromeda yet or are you going in order? (asking bc i’m playing andromeda rn)

I played it back when it first came out, but haven't replayed it since. I'll definitely play it again when I've finished the trilogy.

[waterinathermostat]

Hhhh hate wanting to play video games but as soon as I look through my stuff literally all of them seem boring wtf

[lichbutch]

Okay, aside from the Signature Bioware Animation Janky-ness, Mass Effect Andromeda is pretty good so far

[xaykwolf]

I said I wouldn’t finish ME:A today (cuz it’s technically still today at 4:21 am...), but I had fewer side quests to do than I thought, and it turns out that perfectionism really helps the leveling up/powering-up-weapons process or something...so I started another playthrough. I only had a few side quests remaining, and it felt so...empty, so I had to start all over again.

Ahh...the ~Mass Effect life~...

[dgcatanisiri]

Liam makes a pillow fort. Cora points out that this is a non-standard use of the Tempest's limited resources, we shouldn't even have this many pillows. Vetra whistles nonchalantly. Peebee tosses a pillow at Cora. Cora is huffy... and then nails Peebee with a biotically thrown pillow from behind. Drack watches the ensuing chaos with a chuckle. Jaal remarks on how tame the resultant pillow fight is by angara standards, which makes Peebee and Vetra team up and whack him. Gil sighs as he realizes that he's not going to get his nap, and he'll be cleaning goose feathers out of the engine room vents for months. Ryder asks why no one invited them. Suvi somehow manages to win the pillow fight despite not seeming to be involved at all. Kallo reminds everyone that someone has to fly the ship, can't they do this when the ship's docked so he can actually join in?

[ageless-aislynn]

Since the ever-awesome @empresskadia 🤗 gave me an excuse to ramble on liek woah talk about Mass Effect: Andromeda annnnnnd since I finished up the achievements I wanted to do in Dead Rising, that means I'm in-between games now and so that means...

Let's hope that Georgette will be agreeable to running the game! 🤞😣🤞 I really want to go back and finish my Scott/Peebee romance (and then do the very last romance that I haven't done, which is Scott/Jaal; appropriate since I started Andromeda with Sara/Jaal, right? 😎👍).

Anyway, wish me luck, frens!

~💖~

[ghostickle]

Wait

I don’t have an explanation for you just look
