On Shepard, Liara, and PTSD...

The figure of 30 to 40 percent of veterans experiencing PTSD is probably much lower than the actual percentage who experience some form of PTSD, because the number of people who report symptoms or need to be evacuated in combat is much smaller than the number of people who experience mild symptoms and are functional, and do not seek medical attention. Hypervigilance, nightmares, increased aloofness or irritability, survivor's guilt...all them are fairly common experiences that usually do not get reported, because for most people they don't interfere with day to day living.  Also for many people the symptoms subside or disappear entirely over time.

The more intense the conflict or battle the higher percentage of people who experience  some form of psychological trauma. During the Battle of Okinawa for example, a protracted battle of attrition that also was the bloodiest battle in the Pacific Theater in WW2, there were 26,000 cases of people being evacuated for combat fatigue alone. And that just accounts for the people who had experienced severe symptoms, not those who stayed on the line and returned home with lingering nightmares and such.

30% is the usual figure, 40% is speculatively closer to correct. “Affected in some way” — while absolutely a significant factor in someone’s life — isn’t the same as actual PTSD. You also partially separate combat fatigue or ‘shell shock’, properly known as Combat Stress Reaction, which is an acute, short-term condition. CSR is not a definite indicator of PTSD, but I don’t recall what the actual ratio is.

A common argument put forth on the BSN against Shepard having those nightmares, is that he's such a 'big godamned hero' that nothing should phase him.
:
That being said, I don't think every post-war fanfic needs to focus on whether or not Shepard or Liara still suffers from PTSD. Fanfics are basically short stories and we are only seeing short glimpses of their lives. Whether or not they suffer from PTSD might be outside the scope of the story.
:
I just reject the argument that Shepard or Liara should be immune to it. They have been through too much to not have been affected by it in some way.

Agree with all of these. I just don’t agree with “they’re all ruined forever” which seems a bit too grimdark for me.

Edit: this is probably my all-time favorite Liara drawing:

A Walk on Thessia

In short: I liked it very much, it became my headcanon for Thessia. Biotic trees and all, so many nice ideas.

If it’s understandable who is speaking, then remove it completely. It's surprising how much more professional your work will look - in fact, let's make a rule - if it's obvious who's speaking, don't use anything.

That would be my only criticism, you had multiple places where it could have been left out and the story would have flowed better.


Have to say that I got sad while reading it, thinking there's no way we will see something like that before our own planet is consumed by industry and pollution. Maybe not in many generations but it will still happen long before we set out to the galaxy. We are like krogan, most likely to end up destroying ourselves.


And I really wish some artist painted those Thessia scenes you described.
Like Mikko Kinnunen who has made many Mass Effect works for Bioware and one of my favourites:

I'm pretty sure that I'm still not yet able to post any images, so I'll just post something mindless and redundant instead...

Liara is awesome and amazing and stuff!!!!!!

It also became by headcanon for Thessia. Theo did a wonderful job describing Thessia, the park, the cars, the buildings... Beautiful!
Theo, if your'e reading this, I have to tell you that was an amazing story, really, and you should write more!!

EDIT: Worst. Top. Ever.

*snip*

Actually, the fanfic I'm working on has something to do with this, not just Shep and Liara but just about every survivor of the Reaper War (around the people Shep and LIara are living with now, the ppl they see everyday, etc). I have not experienced intense conflict myself so it's difficult for me to imagine how it would be like but I'm trying any way. No doubt it'll come out something monumentally stupid because I'm working in the dark.

P.S. Wow, Really love the Liara gallery on this page.

The background of Illium here is amazing. Where did this come from - I've never seen that background entirely before.

It looks like the source for the view of Illium that's part of the image I'm using as a desktop wallpaper, with Liara in casual clothing in a room where Illium can be viewed outside a window.



Also this...where is this from, too? It looks like the sex scene in ME3, yet I don't remember her being placed at that part of the room.

And I guess I'll repost some of my favorite images, too.

I don't actually know, I got it from the thread here, I am sure that it is from the romance scene but I agree I can't recall seeing her at that angle, I assume that someone used flycam or something.

[Aristobulus500]

It's not just the angle - flycam can explain that - it's her placement in the room, too. I don't think that's where she is standing in the room, during the sex scene, but I guess I could be wrong.

It's when she just starts to walk towards the bed.

Illium lithograph. It's quite expensive, ~900$ and ~1000$

Painted by the same Finnish guy, Mikko Kinnunen, who made the Citadel art I posted on the previous page. Skillful guy. Lithograph info thread
