I keep thinking abt members of other species doing research into the most random, innocuous pools of human knowledge where, like, councilor sparatus will unexpectedly use niche, antiquated human idioms or how director tann randomly dropped that he knows exactly what a kangaroo is...

and it's not something that the writers overlooked either, because they'll provide context TELLING YOU that this niche information is something that the character is individually familiar with —presumably drawn from some kind of extranet Wikipedia-equivalent, rabbit-hole style, personal research into humans that they then consciously decided to make you, the player character, a human, aware of...

Like, I get there's a certain level of research that's expected of political leaders in order to facilitate polite, socially appropriate interactions with alien species, but then there's this step beyond that of them just being nerdily interested in human culture specifically

I don't know how to explain it, it just really kills me. It's so fucking funny imagining one of the pre-eminent leaders of galactic civilization sitting up late at night in bed on his ipad datapad, reading about silly little niche human topics, like, I don't know, ancient sword making techniques (damascus steel) or the deadly molasses flood of 1919

Does anyone else think about this or am I just not normal??

When Scott keeps the truth of Andromeda from his sister, telling her through SAM that it’s a wonderful place where her father is alive, Jarun Tann finds himself telling her what really happened and unexpectedly becoming her confidant. And after Sara Ryder moves into his quarters, disrupting his carefully scheduled existence as the eighth Director, things between them get complicated.

I understand the appeal of Sloane Kelly, love a girl boss, I understand why people don’t trust Reyes, I don’t either, I really do get it, but the first they I saw when entering Kadara was police brutality. And outlandish protection fees or get kicked out to fend for yourself on a death planet? Yeah, I’m not siding with that.

I never really liked Aria T’Loak either, I was 100% ready to betray her in the Omega DLC in 3 and let Nyreen take over so at least my tendency for betrayal is consistent

#‘but she was protecting the exiles from Tann’s brutality’ #girlie became the very person she pretends she isn’t #she also exploits and uses the Angara #arguably she is worse than Tann #mass effect #mass effect andromeda

A work in progress of Sara Ryder and the Initiative Director Jarun Tann, this is inspired by the fan fiction Romantic Distraction by @lyricsaboutcats

So I’ve been reading through Nexus Uprising and it is giving me. Opinions. But I’ve noticed a lot of people who’ve read it say it makes them hate Tann even more and love Sloane. I’m reading it and Tann is a tool but fine, but Sloane just seems like an awful, violent person. So I wanna see what everyone’s opinions are. I’ll make a second post with a poll about Sloane.

after reading nexus: uprising i will absolutely kill for sloane kelly. she’s fucked up but i love that about her.

#Mass Effect #mass effect andromeda #nexus uprising #i have an au scene going where she survives getting shot #and has to return to the nexus #im considering having her punch tann and addison #intergalactic chatter

[veshialles]

Say what you will about Foster Addison, but I fucking love her actually. Truly who else would have the quads to say "That's the point, you colonial wad!" to Tann's face aksjhdkfjgkvxc

[dirtybiowareconfessions]

Confession: I want to be Director Tann's errand boy, follow his every word no matter how stressed I am. I want him to bend me over his desk and fuck me into oblivion while he calls me nasty things. I want there to be rumors going around because we fuck just out of sight during meetings. Why am I such a sucker for bossy jerks?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DONT FIND OUT WHO THE BENEFACTOR IS IN MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA??? ITS A MYSTERY?? WHERE IS MY SEQUEL GAME I NEED TO KNOW RN

Literally one of the most interesting things is the politics on the nexus like what is UP with director tann that man is either suspicious as hell or the most well meaning dumbass?? and KESH? she's my girl but I lost like FIVE scouts and she voted against me??? I did SO MUCH FOR YOU I'm sorry I chose to save one of the ONLY PATHFINDERS WITH ANY EXPERIENCE and CIVILIANS over some scouts?? I wasn't choosing salarians over krogan I'd have made the same call if it was human scouts don't yell at me!

Enjoying Andromeda so far. Pretty fun game on its own but it definitely doesn't feel like mass effect even one bit. It's like I was tricked into playing borderlands, I love it but hey :"(

Anyway haven't reached far into the game progress so far, here is my theory so far.

The remnant are basically the protheons of this galaxy and their technology is what advanced the angars. It explains why they're so advanced in random aspects but lack so much knowledge in others and are easily impressed by milky way technology.

The kett...I'm clueless tbh so imma just throw a theory out there. They're not a natural race and were genetically engineered by the big bad. Or the energy cloud alteres them somehow? They're corroded.

We are going to have a face to face with who we thought was the big bad guy but surprise he is just a puppet and there is another actual big bad pulling the strings.

Our twin turns evil...eventually? At one point.

One of the arks isn't gonna make it. Either Salarians or Turians.

We will get the chance to overthrow Tann at one point.

Reapers and the remnant weird machines are related. Also the mass relays in Andromeda were destroyed on purpose and we aren't the first travelers from the milky way.

The energy cloud is manufactured by the remnant.

Now just to reach endgame and find out how close I was.

Okay okay, I've gotten to the point in the book where I see sloane's first shift towards dissention and its from seeing how addison and tann immediately started to scramble over her, kesh, and each other for political power in the wake of the inital scourge crisis when, you know, the ship is still in an immediate and severe life support crisis, all of their leaders (including Garson presumably) are dead, and there are literal piles of corpses strewn across the station

And honestly? She's so right so far? Why the fuck are we talking about politics and leadership structures right now when the room is on fire??

2023 Mass Effect Fic Recs

As we approach the end of the year, I want to shout out some really fantastic fics I've read this year. Some of them were posted this year, some of them were posted earlier, but I found them this year so they're going on the list.

Some of these deal with some pretty heavy issues, so mind the tags!

Natural Fissures by happychica

The necessities, the demands, and the endless pressure that is war finally crack the foundation that is Commander Shepard. Forced to face his demons, John is reminded once again that the people he fights for are willing to defend him, even from himself.

This fic is an ongoing longfic set during the ME3 timeline, and it is an absolutely incredible piece that follows not only Shepard, but the rest of the crew in their personal journeys alongside the crisis of The Reaper War.

Fugue by Swaps55

A few minutes more and they wouldn’t have even been on the ship. The Mako was scheduled and ready for drop, both of them suited up and ready with the final checklist completed.

A few minutes more, and they would have watched the Normandy burn from the surface of Alchera.

But they didn’t get those minutes.

Alchera, and the two year gap.  

Really, I recommend the entire Opus series, and everything related to it (really, anything that Swaps has written). Fugue is an absolutely beautiful depiction of the journey of grief and hope, and I honestly still don't have the words to express the things it made me feel.

Phoenix by mallaidhsomo

Shepard went down with his ship, only to wake two years later and find out the love of his life had gone down, too. Or so he thinks.

First off, I am an absolute sucker for Subject Zero!Kaidan. This fic is an incredible depiction of that, and I may be slightly just a little bit mildly in love with Sidney Shepard.

Descent by mallaidhsomo

Leo Shepard makes a promise to Ashley Williams that he intends to keep.

Or, relationships are complicated.

I adore Leo Shepard. I highly recommend reading all three posted parts of the Us Against The World series. The relationship building in this fic is just so good, and I have found my new favorite side character in Bolts the Drone.

An Unfortunately Sexy Man by missjlh

Jarun Tann is an obtuse fool. Unfortunately, he's an obtuse fool that Addison, Kandros and Kesh all have a crush on. The three of them get together to offer one another moral support through what is clearly the very worst thing to have happened thus far in Andromeda.

This fic is so god damn funny. I love it so much, and when I am having a particularly bad day, I go back and read it. It's such a well written comedic piece.

Volta by DanDenbo

At the outset of the war, Kaidan Alenko wonders about his path - whether to become a spectre, whether to rejoin the Normandy, and what to do about his feelings for Shepard. During a mission on Chalkhos, he finds his answers.

Non-binary Shepard/Kaidan battle couple. I feel like that honestly is enough of a recommendation. This is an incredibly well written piece. Shepard and Kaidan's relationship, and the complex nature of it, is just so well done.

Life Behind Enemy Lines by Otempora

The Illusive Man leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers. “We humans have a saying. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Shepherd was familiar with the phrase, but turians didn’t think that way.

---

Species swap AU, Human!Garrus/Turian!Shepard. ME2 retelling. Not a standalone.

I would kill and/or die for Shepherd and also for Gareth. An incredibly well done, intriguing, and captivating species swap. Shepherd is such a complex character, and she makes my heart hurt.

There are honestly a billion more fics I would recommend, but it would end up being the world's longest tumblr post, so I am gonna call it here for now.

Please enjoy!!
