“Siding with the giant spiders again, Shepard?”

Okay fuck you lizard boy, I’m always gonna ride hard for the bitches. You cannot expect me to kill a queen.

Here's one that completely BAFFLES me.

On a frozen world, right on ground level, on top of a frozen lake, there's THIS sound.

This is..... not the Rachni Queen...

I have no idea what this is...

N7Month Day 14 Rachni (Little Fen)

Just a happy family moment shared. (I almost made myself cry with such yearning. XD Dont mind me! Enjoy!) Term Explained (my term XD I made it up)

Sýndesi - connection - the act of sharing ones energy through touch. An equalizing, and shared empowerment. In a healthy family and community it is something that happens naturally. On Omega it is not unusual for Asari to be lacking in this department. Heteria prescribe cuddle sessions between needy people. Sýndesi therapy can help stabilize asari of all ages who are going through a difficult time. A necessity for their continued happiness. It is community and care. Not sex. Though between lovers it can be both.

Inktober 52 2023 - Week 44 - 'Sing'

It was N7 day yesterday and I had to do some mass effect fan art. So have the Rachni queen singing the song of the Shepard to her new brood.

I hope that if there is ever another game, we get to interact with the great space bugs.

[spindlephysalia]

mass effect (1) is so irritatingly off with how it uses the rachni, the way it'll say in the big moments "hey genociding them is bad" and then turn around and say "but it's good to slaughter them in general, just as long as you make the right choice on novaria specifically"". It's like watching starship troopers and saying "well yes, obviously this is insane fascism but it looks fun!"

Anyone getting Rachni vibes from the Ahamkara? 👀 Anyone? Like they weren't inherently evil and it was all just a big misunderstanding and they didn't deserve to be hunted to extinction?

Just me?

Also this whole thing just destroyed me...

Bonus...

...why our boy have to moan like that? 😂 I'm not bothered. It was hot.

Febuwhump Day 4: Hive Mind

I'm sure this is not what the prompt intended (warning for sapient test subjects and non-humanoid child kidnapping):

In the hollow glass with us, egg-children sing. Repeating little minds, little memories for harmony. Simple-sweet violet glow under grays and whites in this plastic place, together, learning.

Flat singers, two legged, pass us singing colorless songs even the egg-children surpass. Ever sensing, carving symbol notes. In harmony among themselves, somehow.

Our mothers heard these flat songs, long ago. The mothers sang of the silence they bring.

Egg-children sing their hatching songs! We sing with them, orange-bright to lend their voices strength. They must carry this first melody we give them.

Flat singers tear the hatchling-children from the hollow glass. Their song is left unfinished! They sing as they are carried, white-panicked, questioning.

The air among the children's shells is empty. Grating silence, monotony, empty sameness, vertigo. It isn't right, to see the shells and hear no simple voices.

The flat singers pass again. No hatchling-children sing with them. The empty songs are worse than silence, sickening slick, stealing light and life.

Only flat sounds, sour, senseless. Once, a child-growing note, so far away and withered-wrong, gray shivering. We sing to them, and if they hear, they do not join our chorus.

The air is empty. Silence slashes, pierces our thoughts through. No whispers of new eggs growing. Our own notes aching, drifting pale green nothing in the hollow glass.

Humans having just discovered that the gaint metal tongs in space unlock fast travel through the galaxy: oh boy, can't wait to activate every mass relay we can find, whoever turned these off must be an idiot lol

Turians opening fire without warning at first sight of relay 314 glowing again:

"You let the Rachni Queen go!?!?" Yes I support women's rights. But I guess y'all aren't feminists.

[dirtybiowareconfessions]

Confession: the rachni... 🤤 especially the rachni queen 😩

too many ppl be discriminating against non humanoid aliens but they just as sentient as any asari and they be twice as fine... show me what them tendrils do bbygirl

[agirlking]

"What happened to everyone you know and love in the games? Who really died? Who had kids with whom? What does a baby volus sound like? What about all the galaxies? The endings! What the heck is going on with our asari scientist-turned-Shadowbroker? What about S— nevermind...you get the idea. And of course, to those questions, there are answers"

I still cannot believe this is a real quote. No, I don't want to know who "really" died and who "really had kids with whom" and what ending is "really canon." What the hell is the point of an RPG if you're just going to tell me what did or did not happen? What is Mike Gamble on?
