OMG!

Reading this gets my wheels turning and I'm already grinding out a new Shakarian fanfic 😱

Imagine how crushing it must have been for Shepard to read that. Yeah it's some Shadow Broker's stupid estimation but imagine reading that the person you appreciate and cherish the most in the world, the companion who was there with you at your highest and lowest, maybe someone you kind of want to keep close for the rest of your life, is probably unable to reach his full potential as long as you keep him close.

And you want him to reach his full potential. Cause he's your friend and maybe someone more and you wish him the best.

But you also want to keep him close. Cause he's your friend and maybe someone more and you wish him the best.

I mean, it's just Shadow Broker's stupid estimation, who cares? But "what if he's right?" will always be stuck somewhere in the back of Shepard's mind

Mass Effect tribute: postcards from a better ending

Sorry, I don’t like endings unless it’s “happily ever after.”

After all they’ve been through — war, loss, nearly dying for the galaxy — Shepard and Garrus deserve more than just a memory —

Quiet mornings. Tropic air. Skin on carapace —

a soft epilogue for battle-hardened souls.

I prefer destroy ending, but she... She deserves to be happy

[albinoshepard]

In the end I couldn't resist.

And I went back home...

James Vega had helplessly watched the whole scene, clutching Dr. Bryson's dying body in his arms. His protests had been to no avail; Commander Shepard seemed deaf to his every word, focused more on questioning that unknown alien entity than on saving an innocent life. He himself felt overwhelmed by her presence, and not just because she was higher in rank. She seemed almost possessed, her gaze bloodshot and her voice trembling with rage. The lieutenant had continued to rack his mind until they had returned to the Normandy and at that moment it occurred to him to talk to the only person in the Galaxy to whom that woman had ever listened.

Leave the light on if you're able 'Cause we both know you're unstable Call a doctor, say a prayer Choose a god you think is fair

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal (🎶 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 - Sʜɪɴᴇᴅᴏᴡɴ)

I'm finally playing Mass Effect (Legendary Edition) for the first time (many years far too late) and

Shepard, probably: I could take him

Garrus, probably:

i made this short video to show my non-ME friends how trying to romance Garrus can be a bit…………….. frustrating

[albinoshepard]

Garrus: hey babe come over

FemShep: I can’t I’m on a mission

Garrus: I’m done calibrating ;)

FemShep:

[albinoshepard]

this is not how it happened. but it is how it Felt

[albinoshepard]

Obsessed with playing Mass Effect over and over again like this story will literally never end in anything but tragedy. Shepard might be an asshole or a saint, a caring friend or a hardened soldier, a complex enigma or an open book, and any combination or in between thereof.

And it doesn't matter because Jenkins always dies. And Ash dies, or Kaidan dies. And Shepard dies. And Shepard lives. And your crew dies. And the little boy is shot down. And Palaven burns. And Illium falls. And earth is ripped apart. And Shepard dies.

You can't save them. Nearly a dozen playthroughs of hard work, an endless uphill climb, and even if you get it picture perfect, take every quest, save every hostage and gun down every bad guy, your reward is the ugly choice, the mirror of war: how many lives will you sacrifice to take one more breath? Will you kill the geth you just painstakingly saved for a single inhale on the charred remains of an exploded station? Or will you let the narrative go the way it's meant to and just let Shepard die?

So Shepard lives, or Shepard dies, and the story always ends the same goddamn way. And you queue up Mass Effect 1 again because you have to.

Keep trying. Maybe it'll turn out this time.

Pretty accurate 🤣

Fucking Horizon.

This needs to be reblogged because: DAMN! It's so f*ckin' good! 😎😁🤩

[GMV] "The Flight" a Tempest Tribute / Mass Effect Andromeda

I'm a little late, but in my defense I was preparing THIS, and since it's my first REAL game music video it took me a while to put it together, but I have to say I'm satisfied with the result. I've been wanting to make a video like this for a long time. All those GB of recordings from the PlayStation weren't in vain. 🥹

Enjoy the flight!

This is the second part of a short excerpt I wrote for the "N7 Month Challenge 2021" ("Snow"), for which in the meantime I unintentionally found a fanart suitable for the purpose. 😁

Evfra: "What are you talking about, Ryder?"

Ryder: "Come on! It's an earthly tradition, all the negative thoughts of the year are chased away on this occasion and we are grateful for what we have!"

Evfra: "We have a war to fight and the front line is getting thinner and thinner. I don't have time for this earthly nonsense!"

Jaal: "Evfra, be reasonable, I'm convinced that a little distraction can be good for the morale of the troops and this earthly holiday is suitable for the purpose"

Evfra: "Mmh. One day you will explain to me how you can be my best warrior and at the same time be completely naive. All right, all right. But I don't want you to let your guard down!"

Ryder: "Oh, we won't! We have thought of everything! And for this very reason we also have uniforms suitable for the occasion! They keep you very warm and are ideal for the Voeld climate!"

Evfra: "Do you want ME to wear that? Oh, stars and skies protect me!"
