The whole 'create your own ideal Tali' thing never seemed right to me.  She isn't supposed to be some perfect woman who I can project my own preferences on to love her more.  She's just a normal person, who happens to be a fictional alien.  She's a fixed character, and that means good, and potential bad.  If something with her face isn't exactly as I imagined it, it doesn't change anything, its still Tali.  Its there already, the only difference is whether or not we see it. 

If I never see her face, I still probably won't make up my own version, I'll just be left wondering forever, and that thought irks me.  I fully expect them to reveal her face though personally.

Okay, you have a point.

Well, one way or another all the questions will (or at least: damn well SHOULD) be answered in 3.

Hey, everyone had that phase.

Isn't that the one where Shepard meet's Tali's mother while she's in the late stages of p.
regnancy?

That's the one.  Him reposting that (and the indirect challenge to somehow make such a connection work with Earthborn) led to Origin, which was my second foray into where "Chiktikka" came from.

It's weird how we've come full circle.

Do you have a link to the original fic?

I wonder how Spacer Shep might have met Tali early on... hmmm.

Sergio's?  Sorry, it was a minific he posted in here.  God only knows where it is.

Why don't you tell us how, eh?

*laugh* You're killing me... now I'm going to have to write this.

Yeah... That would really shift your perspective on life.

Heh. No argument here, but soon you hit the matriarch stage and you get your back tattoo removed and let your scalp return to its normal shade of blue. . .

I want to see her dance in 3.

You could dance with Ash or Liara in 1.

I want a scene, with dialogue, where you and your LI go to a club and dance.

Little things like that to give the relationship a more lighthearted feel, you know?

Everything's always "blow up this", and "sex can kill me that", I want some god damn normalcy for a bit!

Not much... just something...

Tali could have never danced in her life, yet she'd look like a pro next to Shepard.

I would L-O-V-E to see more dialog between Shep and Tali and just along the lines you said; something lighthearted, and personalized if possible. While the scenes on the chair and bed are sweet, I'd like to see something made especially for Tail.<3

For all the LIs.

Just... little things... to keep the relationship warm... you know? Light hearted... meaningful...

Tender moments where something important happens in the main story, like someone dying, and your LI patting you on the shoulder, offering words of encouragement... to which you can respond... little things like dancing in a club... or slamming down a few beers with one of your squadmates, like Garrus. Since they can free up some of the VAs time from not having missions based on them, focusing it on these sorts of things is actually very plausible. I want some activities that really bring out a sense of family, and team, and love... something to kinda give you something to fight for...

I also want pain, suffering, misery, angst, blah blah blah.... you guys know me...

But... damn... I want some happy stuff too... a touch of the hand... a reasuring smile... a warm hug... like joking with Garrus after you two meet up on the Normandy, things that give a very personal connection... I want warm feelings and sunshine and stuff too...

It would b nice to have some stuff to do in between missions. Nothing big, just little stuff like you suggested and exactly for the reasons you suggested, too.
I mean, when you make a cast of characters THIS GOOD, it's a crime that you don't get to spend more time around them; you know, when you're NOT being shot at.

I'm not the insensitive jerk some people make me out to be.

Well, I am, but still.

Just because I can drill you between the eyes from a hundred yards, doesn't mean I can't like sensitive stuff! Just don't go spreading it around... <_<

Remind me to stay at least 101 yards away from Rip.

You know Tali would totally do it if she knew no one was looking.

It's easily the longest chapter and my connection issues will keep me from posting it until I get my new cable in.

Tali: You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that.

I agree.

And not just that. I want there to be problems too, you know... relationship problems. Dealing with Terra Firma jackoffs who hate on you dating Garrus... and Eden Prime Survivors who hate on Tali... insecurity... past relationships that will definately factor in if you had them... Thane's death and what to do with his son... Jack's need for revenge... Garrus's father, who I'm sure will finally make an appearance, and his possible disaproval... The Admiralty Board's reaction and Shala's... Liara's possible redemption... you have all of these things you can just springboard off of... things you and your LI can overcome together...

I just want there to be a very present "human" element involved. Breath some real life into it.

As for the art... progress is slow... I only work on it late at night... no privacy...

Getting there though.

Not complaining, just asking (and indirectly offering encouragement).  Keep at it.
