barbeauxbot replied to your post: barbeauxbot replied to your post: A final note on… Yeah I wasn’t sure if those would survive any better than the beacons. Also, they wouldn’t fry the primitive brain but would they have the technology to understand it? I sort of figured that Liara would have built in a contingency or three for that. Made the device bits smaller and sturdier, easier to...

barbeauxbot replied to your post: A final note on ME3 ending Actually I think the universe and Yagh!Shepard would be in a worse spot because they wouldn’t have the Prothean beacons to help. Ah, but they’d have Liara’s little ‘written in the stars’ codices, which is about the same thing - except without that pesky “we use a sort of communication that can fry a...

A final note on ME3 ending
I was reading over my rant when I was first confronted with the ending of Mass Effect 3, and @guemoza asked whether there was a time limit on making a decision, and what happened if Shepard just said ‘fuck it’. I’ve found out the answer now. Not through personal experience, mind; just through a lot of extensive reading. Answer: There is a time limit. If you do not decide, the...

elenilote reblogged your post: The Experiment Logs: Tali when can I come to your house and smell ALL the scents?!?! Well, I’d have to make ALL the scents first - mostly I make them on-demand - but I suppose I could use a guinea pig for some of this stuff. That’s if you don’t mind the one-room flat/’lab’ with its distinct lack of space and the distinct possibility...

Hello, nasty head cold...
Worst thing about living alone: when ill, there is no one to bring you hot drinks and fuss over you. Ah well. I will make my own Lemsip and chicken soup with rice and snuggle up in bed with DVDs. And make horrible snurfly noises. *snurf*

After the Citadel coup
Kaidan: Knowing that you acted with integrity matters. Molly!Shep: ……………..Udina was dirty. Dirty or indoctrinated. Possibly both. Well, given the fact that he takes bribes, shoves C-Sec and waves a lot of credits around at strip clubs, almost definitely both. Kaidan: How did you kn— Molly!Shep: Anyway, he was trying to kill the Council. Which would have meant...

The siege of the Citadel
Molly!Shep: …You’re shitting me. Liara: Well, at least we didn’t have to drive through a mass relay this time. Garrus: With geth shooting us in the back in passing. Molly!Shep: I’m going to get REAMED for this. Liara: Look at it this way - kicking Cerberus off the Citadel— Garrus: By way of the airlock. With a lot of ventilation via bullet holes. Liara:...

vanessacsketch replied to your post: A thought occurs… My Shepard is a Sole Survivor and she was internally freaking the fuck out. She needed a good solid minute of silence after Kalros saved her. My next Shepard is going to be my freaked-out Adept - Colonist Sole Survivor who frankly tries not to get close to anyone because it always seems to get said ‘anyone’ kidnapped by...

A thought occurs...
It just occurred to me that Shepards with the Sole Survivor background are going to take one look at the Kalros paintings in the ruins of Tuchanka and FREAK THE FUCK OUT. And then they’re going to turn around to Wrex’s idea and scream blue murder. And then they’re going to watch the mother of all thresher maws save their arse, blink a couple of times, and quite possibly go into...

The Experiment Logs: Tali
scentofawarden: Tali’zorah vas Normandy, spunky and energetic little quarian, was a fun challenge. The brief I came up with was ‘clean, sharp, exotic and electric with a wistful earthy note’, and the blend consists of bergamot, spearmint, mango, lime, ozone and a bit of benzoin. In the bottle, the lime and the spearmint are the first notes, with enough ozone to give it a sort of electric-sharp...

I feel a cold coming on. Currently it’s in the ‘lethargy and sore throat’ stage. I’d better get to perfume blending while I can still breathe through my nose. I should get takeaway or something. To cheer me up. And also partly because the idea of actually cooking anything is abhorrent.

Amusing (to me, anyway)
For all I called this little venture of mine ‘Scent of a Warden’, commissions for custom Shepard perfumes are outnumbering the ones for Wardens. And given that we’re talking across six different origins here, that’s kind of impressive. And every. Single. Godsdamned. TIME it makes me wish I could think of a decent name for a sort of separate Shepard sub-page that...

ALL-NIGHTER!
I love all-nighters. Or at least I do when I’ve had too much coffee. Of course, then there’s the issue of really not having any other choice but an all-nighter when I’ve had too much coffee. ‘Cos, y’know. The caffeine. Aaaaaaaanyway, this is my all-nighter tonight: Tweaks to the SOAW pricing list. I really can’t avoid doing this, given the new 20% tax added to...

This bloody country...
So we have this thing called Value Added Tax (VAT) - a consumption tax, basically. Up until recently, it was 17.5%. It’s since gone up to 20% - I thought things had got a damn sight more expensive lately. (It’s tricky to tell when prices go up what’s inflation and what’s a VAT rise, as VAT is actually added to the price listed on price tags rather than added at the till, so...

Thess Plays 'I've Heard That Voice Before'
Looked up Courtenay Taylor, aka Jack ‘Subject Zero’ from Mass Effect. Eeeheehee. She did the voices for various dwarves, including the ‘cocky female dwarf’ voice for player-character dwarves. Aw, man, now I wanna make an Aeducan with that voice and run through it a la “FUCK YOU ALL I WANNA GUT MY BROTHER AND SET DEEPSTALKERS TO CHEW ON HIS BALLS!”

Birthday fic for @amandakitswell
Ill though he was, Thane Krios had not yet lost command of all that the hanar had trained his body to do. When Shepard passed through Huerta Memorial again, he slipped into an unconsidered corner and watched her at her work. And it was work, he could see it. When she had come to see him, to confirm for him that she had escaped Earth and lived to fight another day - his siha, his warrior-angel,...

cookie recipes?
minorearth: Polling Tumblr! I’m going to make cookies tonight - to bring to a work potluck tomorrow - but I’m totally blanking on what I want to make. I just know I don’t just want to default to plain chocolate chip. So … link me to your favorite recipe? Simpler is preferred (I’m somewhere between a novice and journeyman baker), and bonus points for chocolate and/or cinnamon. Any delicious...

My internet is still giving me grief; I should hopefully at least have my PAYG broadband repaired by tomorrow but this is getting veeeeeeery annoying. Anyway, just to let you know that, though grumbly about having to gank internet time in my office break room, I live. *sigh*

Memento (ME3 Ficlet)
As they plotted a course away from Tuchanka, EDI surveyed the mood of the ship. For the most part, there was an undercurrent of what she presumed to be good cheer - productivity had increased by a small but significant margin, and the crew of the Normandy seemed to smile more often and carry less tension in their shoulders. Shepard, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found on cameras, though...

Witty Title: Tony Stark plays Mass Effect →
brennacedria: fighting-false-hope: “No. No… no no no no no.” Tony Stark, billionaire playboy philanthropist, threw his Xbox controller across the room and dove for his cell phone, which he was relatively sure he set next to his liquor glass on the table. After some digging and rummaging through… Holy fucking god everyone read this NOW.
