Guys, just a reminder - try not to go off-topic for too long.

I'm suddenly sad that turians can't puff up their fringe like a cockatoo's crest when they're alarmed.

Their mandibles puff out when they're alarmed though. Remember Nihlus when he saw Sovereign on the video?

[ciaweth]

Oh totally, but I'm just thinking about how hard I'd laugh if something happened and it set off the mandibles AND the crest went all crazy.

Exaaactly. :3 Sometimes I think their mandibles are like cat tails...only on their faces.  Granted, I'm sure they have full control over their movement, but a part of me finds such an idea amusing.

Is it bad that I secretly imagine this happening to turians when they're really, really happy? My budgie used to puff up his forehead feathers when he was really happy. And then he'd shake them out. It was the most adorable thing.

It would be hilarious if their fringe puffed up like that. xD Shepard would need a dialogue option to laugh just because it's so cute and unbelievable.

That's one of the things I like about turians - their expressions. They're so alien, but most of the time it's easy to tell which emotions they're feeling just from the look on their faces. When Nihlus saw Sovereign, that was definitely his "wtf is that?!" face.

Lol, the image of a turian puffing up their fringe is priceless.

I support Turian Fringe Puffing for LI in ME3.

So shep walks into her room, wearing something "special" for Garrus, and then Garrus' fringe puffs out?



Shep: Is that your fringe or are you happy to see me?

Garrus: um... BOTH!

[ThatDancingTurian]

Yes to praetor_alpha and Giggles_Manically. Just yes. xD

I really do hope Garrus is in it, and I hope they use the same CGI that was used in District 9 if you've ever seen it

If Garrus (or any turians) were in it (assuming it happens), I might support that.  The CGI in District 9 is as close to flawless as anything I've ever seen.  I was assiduously searching for anything fake about those aliens and I couldn't find anything fake-looking...and I'm really picky about CGI.

Shepard: Hey, Garrus, got a minute?



Garrus' fringe: FOOMP

I'd hate to see a bad fringe day - he might look like a sea urchin!



Seriously though if their fringes moved as well as their mandibles I think they'd start looking more Predator like. Not sure that would work for me.

[Eradyn]

Yeah, Hazzel, not big on the mobile-fringe thing, although it would be hilarious as a joke. XD

[Hazzel42]

I do wonder if their fringes grow continuously and need to be filed or if they're more like antlers and have a set length, also do they change as they mature eg from little stubs to long sweeping fingers.

I assumed this was the case, considering how Saren's looks, plus the variation of length and how they seem to crack and such, it would just make sense for them to continue to grow.

That who likes Garrus thread is going to end in tears and flames.

That's one of the reasons I refuse to set foot in there even once.  My thin skinned Garrus-lovin' heart can't take it.

Can't.. stop.. imagining it!

As for the fringe being mobile, I personally imagine it as having to do with the skin involuntarily shifting or tightening at the base (similar to having goosebumps), causing them to briefly 'bristle', not a huge amount of movement involved. You have to admit, it would be so cute!

[kglaser]

Me too, Hazzel...I'm much better at thinking of Garrus-related ideas than actually executing any of them XD

Garrus's bad fringe day - sounds like some slash fic material there 

[kglaser]

Hmm...well, there was this *one* fic...
