The Nerd & Tie Podcast: 193. Ryan Kopf v Nerd & Tie - The Full Story

[ladygwyndolin]

my cringe trait is that i want to write fake history for the parts of mass effect lore that don't get much detail (like the metacon war) like some sort of fail fangirl silmarillion

Monthly nonsense 23.10

I wish that I could erase my own memories. So I could relive his episodes, fall in love with him again, and then enjoy all of Javik's fanart again, including mine.

He just wanted to go back to his stasis bin, he didn't want to wake up at this time at all ... Of course he wanted to go back to his cycle more, even if it was just to die with his people together.

His eyes are like amber. Beautiful gold. Secreted by the organism, represents the sediment of time.

One only has to think carefully about his situation to be overwhelmed by his despair to the Marian Trench, never to surface in this lifetime. It's too much, too heavy, too big, too intense, too hard to escape.

His race is the opposite of loneliness, he can never become capable of enjoying it.

Does he ever really care about himself in this cycle? Beyond the basic necessities of life in his way.

Shepard's teammates work for him, but also get a lot of help from Shepard. Identity, status, planetary domination, and even a reconciliation with feud in centuries. Did Javik need anything? Vengeance? Bring him to fight? Nothing more.

And he didn't ask for anything except to go citidal once.

Because of loving him, I don't mind at all that he may reads me. Instead, thanks to his gift of touch sensing, misunderstandings become almost impossible. Seriously, What kind of awful things would be afraid of him to read ? Or on the flip side, how many nightmares has he not seen?

Wish I could hold him tight, even if it's just to help him share a little bit of his despair.

Want to drown in his golden eyes…

Since Javik's time, children have been taken into the military. If so, their scientific talents in the Protheans would have broken down at an early age. Can we assume that each of their scientists lived quite long? After all, there were no new bloodlines to join them.

Javik and I are watching the ongoing war and he's got a lot to say about it.

As this is a bit of a special day for me today, I wondered if Protheans had birthdays and if their society had such anniversaries, but sadly it was all too luxurious for Javik's time, I feel sorry for him, it would be nice to have the day he woke up from stasis as a second birthday, I said, but he would probably prefer it to be the anniversary of his race's death.

Is human like some kind of fox in Javik's vision? Furry, restless, cunning, always stinky——like all kinds of primitives in this cycle, but maybe somewhat cute ?

Rethinking the possible ideology of the Protheans, they are unlikely to be Social Darwinists, that is too radical, and Javik says they were 'once' barbaric, but that is stupid; and they would also uplift the 'primitive races' to make them 'join' their own society. Social Darwinists are less likely to elevate potential competitors, and more likely to destroy them. I still tend to think of them as realists. They should have transformed their society into a militaristic one in the 20,000 years they were at war with the Metacon, just like the body produces a lot of white blood cells when you're sick, but they didn't put aside their other studies, at least astronomy and biology, and they got even more hammered in the art of war.

I wish he could live more vividly in my mind.

Social Darwinism is a value that Javik used to soothe his spirit when his race was on the brink of extinction. Otherwise, he would not have been able to face such a tragic end.

why did he use the word “joined”？ What’s sex meanings in prothean’s culture? Is the word means two minds will become one when they having sex?

"My people are in a desperate situation with no help in sight, we are forced to take up arms to defend ourselves, no one else can help us." Javik said to me. After observing recent conflicts, both of us agree with this view. Destiny is not a handout. It is something you have to struggle for, with the cost of much blood and countless lives.

I can't help thinking about the way Prothean empathy actually manifests: tactile perception equals empathy, they don't need words or body movements to show these things, they just touch. That's what makes them seem calm and impassive, cold in their words. While I was witnessing the brutality of the war through videos, and my empathy was almost depressing me, Javik reached out his hand…

I asked Javik if I could have a bit of a break from him. I want to read more stories and play more games …… He said you've always been able to do that. I'm just pissed off ……

I love vampire Javik !

Maybe it's the graphicness of the video, the fact that it's happening, that drowned my empathy… it's really not easy to take, and I'm even starting to think that too much empathy is a weakness. Only drawing him gives me peace, I understand that he's seen too many of these things, how does he manage to be calm about it all?

Realise that I am courting Javik.

Wish he can be my family…

Protheans have such flat heads, what shape is their brain? The amount of information they process quickly and routinely is enough to burn a human brain, so their brains must be very advanced in processing information. Maybe they have multiple brains in parallel to process information? Javik, do you have any picture about your people's bodies? (I have the feeling that I'm becoming more and more like Liana or Mortin …）

I have witnessed my people's war through his four eyes, which he is now witnessing through mine. Reality and tales are tangling together. The blood and life on both sides is real.

BotW Sidon Cosplay!

I made a Gerudo Sidon cosplay for Metacon 2019 next week! I made almost everything from scratch, and without a pattern or tutorial, so lemme know what you think!

[simowis]

my head canon and thought pieces

· I re-watched the gameplay video and the red part of javik's neck kind of looks like the structure of a fish lung fold, or heat sink. And Javik touches this part when he sits in the bathroom the day after the party when touching himself. Is this part more sensitive?The possibility that this part is used to receive chemical information from the air is increased.

· Protheans are soooo kind! They teach Asari mathematics but not ask them to use duodecimal number system! Cause Asari have five fingers not three.

· Imagine a race of empires growing in barbarism, enslaving other races and grabbing a lot of initial resources. Then they evolve, their religion, art, science and culture begin to grow, they shed their barbaric ways and become civilised and slowly lose their aggressiveness. Their heyday is accompanied by signs of decline, and as time passes and all hostile forces are cleared away in the bud, they slowly become a languid and unmotivated form of an ageing civilisation lying on the resources of the past, eventually being killed by the other barbaric civilisation(s) that have grown up in oppression, leaving a mass of wreckage to be divided up. This is the basic process by which empires rise and fall. But what stage of development has the Prothean civilisation reached? Have they really reached old age? As long as there is pressure, civilisations evolve too. If they've been fighting the Metacon war for 20,000 years, they'll naturally evolve into the right form. They should be in their prime, shedding their savagery, with a strong faith and culture, and are gradually moving towards winning the war until the Reapers come out of nowhere.

· Liara said her profile had the prothean as the only race in the cycle to achieve interstellar voyage. Javik didn't deny it, but went on to say so. But in the chat afterwards, Javik clearly states that there are many other non-prothean races in his cycle that have civil wars and such, so Javik is withholding information. Being a race that doesn't lie well, he's been taught that 'it's foolish to tell your enemies secrets'. I'm curious to see how far their 'cunning' AVATAR can go.what kind of ‘cunning‘ in prothean’s culture without lying?

· Why are most intelligent creatures in this cycle humanoid and with 2 eyes? Javik implies that most of his cycle's intelligent creatures have greater than 2 eyes? And Javik is also a humanoid creature. Why is the cycle so coincidental that it always manages to harvest a wave on time around 50,000 years? It wouldn't make sense without design behind it
