Hypno-Thane
THIS explains why my obsession with Thane is so overpowering and unwavering.
A concise explanation of why femShep would romance anyone but Garrus.
Commission for Mumei of her in her Mass Effect inspired lolita co-ord. ♥
(I’m pretty sure that’s a one-handed gun, but her hands were so tiny that she needed both to hold it up hahahaha.)

VALENTINE’S DAY IS NIGH, MUTHAFUCKAS!
Mass Effect Valentines by Kundagi
(Psst!Click here for the full set of Valentines by the artist on tumblr!There’s Hobbits, Serious Cat, JFK and Edgar Allan Poe too!)
Happy Valentine’s Day! (And Happy ME3 Demo Day!) So for the next day or so, enjoy a spam of all the romance related posts/reblogs that I’ve been saving for the last few months. =)
My entry for Destructoid’s ‘Artist Wanted’ community blog for July 2012. I really like Mass Effect…also coffee.
That awkward moment when your history teacher is talking about Cold War and every time they mention heightened tensions between Russia and America
I chose Green, but I would have chosen Blue had I fully understood the ramifications.
I am disappointed that there was no romance conflict scene: Having chosen Sam Trainor early, I had no idea I was freezing out hunky Garrus. Now Commander Shepard wishes she could hip-thrust at Garrus, if only I wasn’t disassembled.
Still very pleased to have played this game.
I don’t know what it is about Turians (and Garrus in general, although that’s another story entirely) but they are so beautiful and sexy. I don’t think Bioware was going for “studs of the galaxy” when they designed them but isn’t it interesting how things turn out? <3
This is a continuation of my fun times with a Mass Effect rpg run in Wild Talents.
I think the game was fun for me because I was able to aggressively persue my own fun. As Illora I was constantly riffing on the constellation of relationships I had been given on my sheet. I frequently called out to other characters during battle, pulled them aside to offer advice, and turned important decisions over to the most qualified squad member. It was mostly small stuff in the midst of more plot-directed scenes, but the interactions meant more to me then they would appear on the surface. Each time I praised my Turian brother in arms it was reflective of our shared history and my secret crush. A lot of roleplaying takes place internally, but you folks already knew that.
I was able to name my own priorities as a player and be constructive with that knowledge. At one quiet moment while the GM order some Chinese food, I looked around the table at the other players and considered how I had been kind of hogging the spotlight by taking (and creating) every opportunity to inject my character’s personality into the game. So I attempted to offer the spotlight to others by saying, “Hey, now might be a good time for some quiet scenes of interparty drama.” And something like 4 out of 6 players looked at me and laughed with real pleasure, as if I had told a joke. The GM returned shortly and we finished our game. In line with everything I am learning about RPGs and relationships, communication is king. While what I was communicating didn’t get across because of my own vagueness and a difference in play priorities, I feel good that I was able to:
- know what I wanted out of the game
- read the game to see the unequal distribution to spotlight time
- make an offer to share what I see as “the good stuff”
