Might I offer a pretty turian I spotted in my play through of me3 who has lingered in the back of my mind ever since.
The dual-colored face paint really stuck with me, after having seen the same patterns in the same colors over and over in me2. At first I thought it was a graphics bug that my game had given me but I wasn't complaining at all, there was a different turian model on my screen after so long.
If I remember right, he was either arguing with the shopkeeper/bartender or checking surveillance systems nearby that kiosk where we meet up with our virmire survivor post citadel attack.
A turian so pretty I just had to spend hours studying his face paint in an attempt to replicate it. I found a clearer picture online that confirmed, yes, it is multicoloured and not a glitch
Left is extracted from the OG pic version.
Right is what I drew based on what i imagined the original symmetrical design to be.
I kept the wavy lines under the assumption that it's inspired by flower petals. I wanted a transparent bg, but the checkered design would've gotten lost with the tumblr bg.
My absolute favourite turian face paint design is this guy in here
Something about seeing hot pink on a guy makes me weak in the knees. Even though turians don't hold the same gender/colours associations humans do, to my ape brain, still makes him appear ten times more confident in his masculinity.
Finding out turians can use multiple colours in their face paints makes me wonder if it's like the human equivalent of country flags but for clans? Since a lot of the designs are similar in certian areas–those two top flower petals are found in 3 different designs....it could also be the Mass Effect devs copypasting to cut corners.
Either they're used as a symbol of something, maybe indicating a clan belongs to aristocracy, or it's just a common design in turian culture. Much like humans love rectangles and straight lines in their flags, turians love wavy and flowery/nature inspired ones? Nihlus markings almost look like the outline of a butterfly wing.

Hi! lol i've seen you in my notifs the past few days, i love when i can tell people are going through my tags! so glad you're joining the fandom just in time for all the content to start back up <3
and oh boy, okay, i'm the kind of person where once i get obsessed with a ship or character, EVERY song makes me think of them (even some that really don't work at all, whoops!) but here are some that get me particularly in my feelings about joe'marr
Sweet
King and Lionheart - Of Monsters And Men
And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart
Aquemini - Outkast
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain, nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain (y'all know)
It's him and I, Aquemini
1950 - King Princess
So cold that your stare's 'bout to kill me
I'm surprised when you kiss me
So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong
Thinkin' Bout You - Frank Ocean
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever
Bodyguard - Beyoncé
Be your best friend
I protect you in the mosh pit
And I'll defend you in the gossip
You know how people like to start shit and pop shit
I don't like the way she's lookin' at you
Someone better hold me back
Nineteen - Tegan and Sara
I felt you in my life
Before I ever thought to
I felt the need to lay down
Beside you
And tell you
I feel you in my heart
And I don't even know you
Angsty
Fireproof - The National
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
It's just the way you are
You're fireproof
It's what you always say
You're fireproof
I wish I was that way
Bad Religion - Frank Ocean
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
This unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make him love me
Never make him love me
Earfquake - Tyler the Creator
I don't want no confrontation, no
You don't want my conversation
I just need some confirmation on how you feel, for real
You don't want no complication, no
New Magic Wand - Tyler the Creator
Can't be in the picture if it got no frame
And let the world know 'cause I ain't got no shame
Blow the whole spot up, 'cause I ain't—
I wanna share last names, I wanna be your number one
Not the other one, keep it on the low
I'm in my right mind, keep it on a high
Secret Heart - Feist
Why so mysterious?
Why so sacred, why so serious?
Maybe you're just acting tough
Maybe you're just not man enough
What's wrong?
Somewhere in Between
We Belong Together - Vampire Weekend
We belong together
Baby, there's no use in being clever
Baby, it don't mean we'll stay together
Hallelujah, you're still mine
All I did was waste your time
If there is not some grand design
How'd this pair of stars align?
I Want to Know Your Plans - Say Anything
I want to know your plans
And how involved in them I am
[...]
I'll look out for you 'til I die, 'til I rot
I'll remember you 'til I die, 'til I rot
Never Be Anyone Else But You - Emmylou Harris
Cause I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
Vito's Ordination Song - Sufjan Stevens
And when you write a poem
I know the words,
I know the sounds
Before you write it down
Specialist - Interpol
You make me lose my buttons oh yeah you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore
You take me to New Orleans where you put me to the test
I know what my heart is for
Bedroom Hymns - Florence and the Machine
Cause this is his body, this is his love
Such selfish prayers and I can't get enough
