Maybe we'll get such a DLC. And after that there shall be no more Liara. Ever.

Don't say that

But... it's true. 

That does not make it better  

Well one can only that they does several DLC where she is present and has new dialog. And even if not there is nothing stopping replays and fanfic/art... what can I say, I am an eternal optimist

TY, Im looking forward to developing that character more, as well as getting to How the attack changes her

@ Aristobulus: that was agood one, I can see why it would be problematic when all you message are marked as urgent.

Anyone noticed that the human woman that wants to ship her daughter off to Thessia is still discussing with the asari clerk even after you completed Priority: Thessia? I found that rather lame...especially as it was all over the news that Thessia fell.

Yes, it makes less sense then sending her to her human-rasist-grandparents.

I liked it a lot.  I loved your portrayal of the family interaction and can't wait to see where you go with it.

TY, yea I loved coming up with how the whole family got along together, I especially enjoyed writing the interaction between shepard and her father 

Yeah, it's very nice.

Oh god, Pineapple, if you want to do more Liara stuff, PLEASE do!

I would rather see more Liara stuff personally, but I only mentioned other characters, because that's what I thought you had in mind originally.

Basically, I need more of my blueberry princess /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/137351.gif

Hah, ok, we just misunderstood one another then.

And don't worry you all, my ME fanart work will certainly stay very Liara centric in the future.
But routine is the death of creativity, so I like to mix things up from time to time

I don't
think Shepard will be in any condition to fight post-'destroy'. She's
brought the galaxy together, time to put that weight on other shoulders.
Honourable discharge. Time to settle down and enjoy life. At least,
that's how I see it.

I agree here a hundred percent.
After what Shepard has done, I don't expect anyone to even dare ask
him/her help with something that does not involve an imminent war, which
I hope will not be happening. He/she has earned all the time in the
world to simply enjoy the galaxy he/she just saved.

To be honest, once things calmed down a bit, I'd expect pretty much everybody who is either in politics or in the media to come after Shep for all sorts of favours, etc.
I mean s/he's most probably the most prominent figure in the galaxy at that point. The hero everybody looks up to (or fakes it at least because it's the expected thing to do). I'm sure many, many people would like and try to profit from that somehow, though certainly not all out of "evil" motives.

And personaly, I can't see my (canon) Shep just settling down for the rest of her life. For a time, certainly, to heal and collect herself after the war, to be with Liara and maybe start a family.
But once there was some sort of calm, "routine" life kicking in after a couple of years I think she'd become more and more restless and would start looking for new challenges. You don't choose and make it through that career like Shep did if you're not a bit driven somehow. And that won't just vanish.
I'm not sure what she'd do though, nothing too dangerous probably (Liara wouldn't let her ) and nothing in politics (too much words, too little action).
Maybe she'd go back to the military as figurehead and trainer for the N7 program or something ...

Just a quick post. I'm still working on ME2 fanfic stuff. Promise. At the moment RL is a bit crazy and I'm trying to deal with personal problems and stuff. Nice being able to look through here for happy stuff though.

I was HOPING to have a chapter done a week but that's obviously not happened. I'll try for next weekend.

I would like to weigh in on the asari culture vs human culture topic.

Honestly, I don't like it very much when fics have Shepard completely adopting asari culture and letting his/her own fall to the side. I find it a bit unrealistic. On a personal note, I am biracial and while I was raised primarily in one culture, that doesn't mean the other culture was completely ignored. I think the same would work here for Shepard and Liara as a couple and with a family. Perhaps they'd even strike for a balance.

It kind of irritated me when Aethyta became angry when Shepard tells her she'd be called the mother as well as far as humans are concerned. We have two genders and our society is largely patriarchal. Of course we'd insist on a difference. But, then again, this is Aethyta. She doesn't exactly come across as the tolerant asari trope....

Anyway, this goes back to my original point. I really have a hard time reading fics in which the authors state that Femshep goes by father. Is it just me, or doesn't that seem a bit unrealistic? She's human and just because I play the ultra-tolerant, understanding Paragon Shep, that doesn't mean I'm able to accept Shepard referring to herself as such. Especially a Colonist or Spacer Femshep. "Father" is very masculine, in a human's point of view and when you're also raised with a father and are exposed to the masculine and patriarchal human parenting techniques, I would think that would be difficult for a Femshep to accept. While I don't think that any Femshep is largely feminine, her accepting the patriarchal and masculine parental title is way on the otherside of the spectrum, in my opinion.

It just wouldn't fit Femshep's human culture and goes back to my point that I don't believe Liara and Shepard would just go against it. Yes, Shepard would largely accept Liara's culture, I'm not doubting that at all. However, this is an interspecies couple. It would kind of defeat the purpose of their being so if they ignored one of their cultures in favor of the other. Not to mention a tad disrespectful. Liara might as well have fallen in love with another asari. Or Shepard another human. I believe that some of their attraction to the other is each other's culture.

Of course, Manshep wouldn't have this problem, but there are other aspects of it. For instance, I'd like to think that Shepard and Liara would hyphenate their names. They'd probably raise their kids in both asari and human culture. Maybe they wouldn't actually move to Thessia but perhaps a planet that feature many species and many cultures. I'm just saying that neither needs to give up a part of themselves here. Liara is an alien, however Shepard is also a human. Ignoring one fact over the other would cheapen them both, in my opinion.

Take your time, as ME3 proved better late than rushed

Also we need more blue:







I am a bit ambivalent on this last one. Excelent work, but that sexualisation just touches a nerve in me... man I am too sensitive for my own good  
Also that damn N7 icon again...

Another thing off about the last one is the way her skin has the same reflective properties as the material of the clothes she's wearing. Just looks odd.

isn't the last pic not just one of these "i take a random picture with a woman and photoshop it to have Liara's color and mount her head on it" images? Personally, I don't like them. It's just not Liara. Well, maybe it is the overly sexualisation that you mention that kind of give me the creeps but I just don't get a Liara-vibe from it  There are several of these around and all of them fall flat. I guess I prefer the in-game model renderings from our resident photoshop/3DMax masters.

Yeah true.

Eh, no harm done. While I agree ones where all they do are change around skin color and shop in Liara's head are kindof lame...I'll be honest here and admit of that style, that's one of the better ones I've seen.

I mean, it *is* oversexualized and doesn't really show off her character or anything, but don't feel like you committed a crime or anything. You posted a less than stellar piece of artwork - oh well. At least it was a new piece I hadn't seen before.

The main problem with these pics is that finding a photo and a screenshot where the model's neck and Liara's head perfectly coincide is almost impossible.

If I manage to be here a bit more frequently again than in the last few weeks, I 'll just post links as soon as I make uploads on DA, I guess. But if I'm too slow or whatever, feel free to post it yourself if you want to. I really don't care that much for the "honor" ...

Don't worry, we understand and will be here, waiting patiently.

Or rather: quite impatiently ...

But no pressure!

I don't know, we have the freecam available in all three games as well as Liara's original models, ready to import in most popular 3D programs. So I'd argue it's actually more a thing of effort than possibility tbh.

And yeah, not a huge fan of the picture either (but don't feel bad, Akernis, still interesting to see what's out there )

Hi All, will all these talks about settling down, I just thought I'd recommend two new hilarious Femshep/Liara fics: Dr. Jekyl's "An Anticipated Arrival" and CommanderShepard93's "Operation: Mother's Day"

Nice! A great wy to break the day with, reading chapter 2 of AAA now, it is funny.   Thanks for the links.

I don't see why Liara and Shepard can't both be mam. Liara could be the asari word for mother while Shepard could be mam (or mum or mom or ma or what ever the hell Shepard used to call her own mam).

I don't really read much fanfic but yeah a lot of the Shepards do seem to be embracing asari culture. It would be quite interesting to read a fanfic more about Liara reacting to human culture (of course we already see a bit of this in the games). I wonder what Liara would make of xmas or april fools day etc.
