#Engineer Shepard

[dimancheetoile]

some sketches of two of my three main sheps (didn't draw the third for now cause i managed to snag an incredible commission a few years back for her and i'm still so in love with it that i can't bring myself to taint her face in my head with my own sketches)

headcanon is shep/joker but since bioware are cowards and i do love my boy garrus with all my shrivelled heart, they're both canon shakarian

(also commissions are open, see the blog's pinned post)

Tali makes a sweet and slightly spicy confession to Shepard.

Ken & Gabby in the background: 👀

Or do we think they were taking bets on who would make the first move? It's anybody's guess, lol! 😉

Six Sentence Sunday

This is more of a WIP Wednesday, type thing, but *shrug*. I mean, there's definitely six sentences in there XD. I wanted to have the two pages filled up today, but I ran out of time.

Here's the manual I used for the drawings.

So I decided to replay my favorite mass effect because I really want that n7 elite trophy😎

So first game wasn’t as hard as I thought it’ll be. I chose engineer class because of AI hacking and yes that was useful as hell. I mostly took Garrus and Ashley, because of sniper rifles and Ashley can equip heavy armor.

I will continue in next posts😊

Jacob saying the Normandy is shepard's real love. Please shut up. Shepard fits many clichés, but she's not the ship-obsessed weirdo of the series. That's joker. Nevermind!!!! that I don't think we ever see Shepard mooning over the Normandy, but the people inside? That's another thing! Shepard loves and is loyal to people, ideas, and morals. Not things.

Hell, I'd buy it if he had said that the fight is shepards real love. That's believable. The Normandy is just a means to an end.

random thoughts on shepard in his training days in the alliance, pre mass effect 1:

shepard is incredibly touch averse especially in his younger years... and i think the first and only time he ever got a haircut on base, it fucked him up. plus the px barber wasn't used to dealing with biotics either and to dealing with the static shock. so you ended up with one very freaked out barber and one very cut up and slightly shaken shepard

plus, going every week to get his hair cut and leaving nicked and a little mentally disturbed, and having to pay??? no thank u morons.... he modified his omni-tool fabricator so he can just shear it off on his own... it doesn't look Great but he's all right at it :)

and ofc he made credits off of that. he's pretty resourceful and i think decent at modifying omni-tools — by no means professional, and sometimes if he goes too crazy, the result can be dangerous (which was not necessarily a bad thing in days with the reds..... sometimes you Want something to catch on fire or to blow up). but he gets it done.

he's probably done all sorts of modifications for fellow recruits, for a few credits ofc, and has gotten in trouble for it ... probably a handful of times. i'm sure omni-tools are very standard and everyone's bound to have one, but they probably have standards on omni-tools that recruits are allowed to have. or limits on how Much said omni-tools can fabricate... im sure that shepard Will find a way to get fabricators into a regulated omni-tool ... and that one of his fucked up little creations probably sparked and caused a fire in the barracks at some point... maybe multiple points. (where there is yishai shepard. there is going to be a fire. or something that he's fucked up that Will cause a fire.)

in general, he got in a Lot of trouble during training and had to clean his act up big time. he's just got a penchant for causing shit (or rather. he sees an opportunity to make credits or to gain favours. he Will take said opportunity). it was very difficult fresh out of the reds to get clean. he went cold turkey from red sand/minagen, but basically just switched to heavy drinking, though there were times he nearly relapsed. nearly got kicked out for misconduct a few times, and he did not get along well with anyone — being very antisocial, extremely hard to read, coming in with a history like his, and having very powerful biotic abilities honed to destroy. and rumours of his gang affiliation and about what he was doing for the Reds spread around and made things even more difficult. the old tattoos (not things officially affiliated with the reds until years later, because the reds were still kinda small time/covert/regional) didn't help.

for these reasons and others, i think he has a really nasty history with higher ups, NCOs on power trips, people who were wary of him and sought to keep him under control. not all of them sucked, but the ones who did left lasting impressions, and shepard's attitude (aka just. the way he is) did not help. there were definitely people that didn't fuck with him and that wanted to see him fail.

i think that maybe anderson first came across him in these.. very Trying first couple of years in training. he saw a struggling young man (barely a young man tbh, shepard was in a difficult spot where he was forced to grow to survive and deal with Horrors, but that's!! still a kid!!!). someone who needed a little help and a chance to grow. he probably talked with some people and got future opportunities for shepard — so long as shepard got his shit together — and put him in contact with resources and programs for his personal shit. anderson didn't do a lot of this directly, but he did check in on shepard time to time, and of course higher ups giving him counsel would mention anderson's involvement. and when shepard was ready for it, got through advanced & biotic training, anderson recommended him personally for n7 training... cemented himself in shepard's life as a mentor when there were very few people who filled that role for shepard. shepard doesn't know anderson well, but he is deeply loyal to anderson and attributes his career to anderson seeing him and being willing to give a fucked up kid another chance.

Shepard not understanding how an asari can be dad is explicitly non-canon for Alistair Shepard. He understands it perfectly well because he, too, had a father who wasn't a man.

Shout out Logan McTir-Shepard, the he/him trans lesbian who helped make a hero.

...the fuck you mean, 1.78%

What are people doing in Mass Effect, if they're not playing the best combat style in the entire damn franchise. You are invisible, and then you stab/punch people to death, which then makes you invisible again. Repeat with joy and enthusiasm.What are we all fucking doing here, i ask you. Can we all be serious.

Gamers continue to stubbornly refuse to have any panache. Punch the boss to death, cowards. Vanguard ONLY
