You can’t trick me, I know it’s you Dalatrass Linron

[milkywayes]

For both Mass Effect 2 & 3, what were your favorite Paragon & Renegade interrupts?

oh hello!

well that's easy. the best renegade interrupt is gut punching han'gerrel. I get perverse enjoyment out of that one. other fun ones are shooting the fuel tank in the clan weyrloc base to shut up the ranting krogan and snapping at delatrass linron

best paragon interrupt -- trying to stop mordin. I missed it this playthrough and didn't get the collecting seashells line because of it. broke my heart. pistol whipping gavin archer gets an honorary mention.

[simpforfictionalwomen]

a bit of EDI and Joker in the Purgatory that cracked me up

EDI: Your turn. Councilor Irrisa?

Joker: Not hot. Too much makeup, not really my thing.

EDI: Sha'ira the Consort?

Joker: Hot, I guess? Can we stop this? You're creeping me out.

EDI: Dalatrass Linron?

Joker: Ew.

Mass Effect Tag Game

Stole this thing from @messydiabolical. :)c Anyone is welcome to steal it from me as well!

-

I am a fan since: Forgot what year it was but I remember ME2 had already been out for a while before I bought ME1. But I caught up quickly and got to experience the release of the Arrival DLC in real time. :D

Favourite game of the series?: It's hard to pick between 1 and 2, but I'll say 2 because the concept of loyalty missions is MY JAM. Also ME2 is my favorite graphics-wise, it's got that high contrast I love so much. (hate the simplified skill trees though)

MShep or FShep?: Most of my Sheps are fSheps because the character creator for mSheps isn't versatile enough for me. :( Where's the long hair! Let me look impractical!

Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer?: I might slightly prefer Earthborn. I enjoy playing characters who've had a rough start in life and made some bad decisions, but grew up to become decent people anyway.

Biotics or Tech: Can't pick, I like variety!

Paragon or Renegade: peace for everybody in the galaxy :') But I reeeaally love the Renegade eyes so I do have some mean Sheps as well.

Favourite Class: I used to main the Infiltrator class but in my most recent run I really enjoyed the Adept. Hard to pick a favorite but I do know my favorite class is NOT the Sentinel, it always feels clunky to me somehow.

Favourite Companion: Tali or Javik. Kaidan and Thane are nearby too. Tali's character development feels very natural and wonderful to me on every playthrough and I always love to see it. Javik is a fave because he's haunted and completely alone and that combo always hooks me like, I MUST see to it that this sad man has at least one nice thing in his life.

Least favourite Companion: It's the writers' fault but Liara. It gets really old when the same companion treats you like her love interest in all 3 games no matter what. I haaaate forced hugs in roleplaying games, don't put me through that, it'll ruin the character for me.

My squad selection: In my most recent playthrough it was unsurprisingly Javik and Tali. But I also ran with Vega quite often in the early game and I kinda missed him in the end game, haha.

Favourite In-game romance: Kaidan, especially with mShep because I really enjoy a slow burn of several years. 🔥

Other pairings I like: I am motioning at my blog and presenting to you Tazzik and the Shadow Broker...... no i don't have anything else to offer at this time

Favourite NPC: I like all these shady-ass salarians like Anoleis and Jaroth and Maelon and Linron (yes) (no i'm not defending her, i just find mean characters interesting sometimes) and Chorban and probably others. Valern isn't all that shady but still a fave. Charn! And Balak, I always look forward to finding out how my Shepard reacts to him. Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib I always loved you and I knew you were the best admiral before ME3 ever happened

Favourite Antagonist: the Shadow Broker, I was so into the mystery in ME1 and man I was not disappointed when we got the reveal. I would have loved to learn more about his early life.

Favourite Mission: ME2's Suicide Mission because I lovvve how it's a culmination of all your previous actions. It felt really scary and chaotic on my first playthrough and like anything could happen. Now I know all the mechanics so nothing surprises me, but I still look forward to seeing every little detail play out.

Favourite Loyalty Mission: Tali. Also Mordin. And Samara, ugghhh I love Omega and I love playing bait uwu

Favourite DLC: Hmmm I love about half of LotSB very much but I might like Bring Down the Sky more as a whole? The mood is great, it's not super long, and nothing about it annoys me. :D I've only played the Leviathan DLC once so far so I'm not confident enough to call it a fave yet but I liked it a lot, too.

Control, Synthesis or Destroy: I just wanted an ending where we finally talk the Reapers down and they go "yeah u right actually, let's not fight anymore. :( handshake?". All this star child borderline magic stuff is kinda goofy to me. I've picked Destroy almost every time tho.

Favourite Weapon: Recently enjoyed the Blood Pack Executioner... Historically I've probably used the Widow the most. Also I LOVE the way the Revenant looks but I can't stand using it myself lmao. My hand hurts just thinking about it.

Favourite Place: nnnoooo there's so many good places. I adore the Shadow Broker's ship, first of all. Such a cool concept. Noveria for the snow and miserable people. Feels like home. I loved visiting the Migrant Fleet! But my absolute favorite place is probably Omega because it's so rough yet there's still a weird sense of community.

A quote I like: The first that came to mind is "I have a home." Idk, I don't really remember quotes unless they're repeated over and over and by that point I start hating them.

A couple important notes apropos of nothing in particular:

The VA for Fll'Yissetat sounded familiar, and sure enough, she is none other than Grey Delisle! One of the quintessential "holy shit it's her AGAIN" of the voice acting world; apparently she also voiced Nalia and Viconia earlier in this game along with some other NPCs. (We in the Bioware fandom sphere also know her as Nassana Dantius, Kahlee Sanders, Councilor Esheel, Dalatrass Linron, Velanna, and the female Bounty Hunter char from SWTOR, among others; she's also been in about three billion other things.)

When those random adventurers gave us the eyestalk, they also, for reasons I don't even pretend to understand, gave us this:

[luimnigh]

My god do I wish there was an option to tell Dalatrass Linron to go fuck herself. 

Between her attempts to bribe Shepard into continuing a genocide and the massively condescending email she sends Shepard afterwards, she might genuinely be my least favourite character in the series. 

Like, Councillor Valern is also a dick about curing the genophage, but he’s like “You saved my life once so I’m just gonna accept this and move on”. 

While Linron tries to shame Shepard about Mordin’s death when she told them to kill him.

The Empire of Preys

***

It is 2166CE when Voice-Dalatrass Tschastarissi finally dies, rearing the Salarian Union awake from the passive slumber of her decades-old regime. But while the iron-willed dalatrass Linron plots her route to power with the aid of a reluctant turian diplomat assisting from the shadows, her daughter Jurlan loses herself to the past, uncovering dormant truths that may better stay untouched —and several stars away, two asari sisters pressured by money and haunted by false-starts must decide whether to let their ambition threaten far more than their lives alone.

This is a story about the empires that cling on.

Read now!

***

The Empire of Preys is part 2 of the Halfway Homes series based on the Mass Effect universe. It is both a prequel and sequel to Halfway Home, but can also be enjoyed as a standalone. Contrary to Halfway Home, it will be released hopefully at the rate of one chapter per month, but realistically: whenever a chapter is ready.

It's a gen fic with a side-serving of romance (lesbian and straight), a deep-dive into my weird headcanons for salarian, asari and turian culture, an exploration of neo imperialism and the casual devastation that comes with soft power --and what happens when soft power no longer suffices.

This is a multi PoV story with the following cast:

Rhanda T'selvi, ex asari commando and current security freelancer on Illium

Nagatha T'selvi, ex financial adviser and current unemployed babysitter for her sister's daughter

Nemore Linron, aka the dalatrass Linron, yes this one

Jurlan Linron, her miracle of a daughter, a case in genetics whose image shapes opinion across the entire galaxy

Auren Cæpta, a chronically ill turian diplomat sent on Sur'kesh for a critical secret mission

Destiny’s Fate (update) (main story)

Chapter:  What I Need

word count: approximately 2700 words

Excerpt:

“Commander, the salarian dalatrass and the krogan leader both request permission to come aboard.”

Jane stood in front of the mirror in her bathroom as she placed the final pins in her hair to keep it out of her face.  Popping her head first to the right and then to the left to ease the tension that just wouldn’t go away, she tapped her comm and replied, “Please inform Primarch Victus, Traynor, then have Vega and Cortez escort the dalatrass and Wrex to the conference room.  I’ll be down in a moment.”

“Should that be an armed escort, commander?”

Jane fought against a smirk as best she could, but she caught the twitch of her lips in the reflection in front of her.  Traynor had just the right amount of sass to get away with it in moments like this.  Then again, she wasn’t wrong, either, and that was the more sobering thought.  “On second thought, have Cortez escort the dalatrass up.  Vega can wait with Wrex for the second run.  I’ll grab one of the maintenance ducts to get down.”

“Understood, commander.”

Jane exited her room, finding the access point to her right just outside her door.  As she descended the ladder, she pressed her comm again.  “Kaidan?”

His response was immediate.  “I’m here.”

“Cortez is escorting the dalatrass to the conference room and Victus should be there momentarily.”

“And Wrex?”

“Vega will bring him up after.”  She reached the bottom of the ladder and hunched over, making her way through the access tube.  “I’m on my way now.  Could you meet them at the conference room?”

A soft chuckle filtered across the connection.  Just a hint before he cleared his throat.  “Just in case?”

Jane couldn’t fault him there.  They both knew Wrex well.  “Just in case.”

“Don’t worry, commander, I’m on my way.”

[newfixationwhodis]

Jesus Christ, m o o d

The first time I played that scene, my Shepard was so nice and polite... And then the dalatrass threw that out and I was like ???? But I'm being nice??? Trying to help??? And you're the one being unreasonable?????

And now when I play, my Shepard just doesn't give a shit. "You might have started this mess, but I'm finishing it", full-on mom-of-the-galaxy (and actually, my canon Shepard is a mom, sooo).

It's so easy to picture her taking the Dalatrass by the [ear...?] and sticking her in a corner like, "You're grounded"

Dalatrass Linron: I won’t forget this Commander! A bully has few friends when they need them most.

Commander Shepard: this is so sad EDI play despacito

[BREAKING] Dalatrass Linron Passes Away

Via Pranas Courier TALAT - The revered stateswoman and clan matriarch Dalatrass Linron passed away last night from natural causes. Her Wheel turned peacefully in presence of Linron's surviving siblings, daughters and sons, according to the clan's representative's statement. Her successor as head of clan Linron main branch has not yet been confirmed. Traditionally one of incumbent Dalatrass' younger siblings assumes the role, but it is heavily speculated that the baton might go this time to one of the late clan leader's daughters. The new Dalatrass Linron will be officially announced once the 49-day period of mourning ends. Scores of public condolences and well wishes have already been sent by fellow Citadel states and beyond, most notably including the Urdnot Coalition of Tuchanka.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVRYONE!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all from Commander Shepard ✨

Expect for Linron because you know why 🙄😤
