yeah. kudos for you all, for defending your favourite future LI. I think it would actually be very interesting to have Joker as a love interest, and specially for the female Shepards makes absolute perfect sense , story wise. And I don't know, but when I see Joker talking, I always feel like there's something more than just friendship on his feeling towards Shepard. When it's a female Shepard, it actually looks like he genuinely loves her on thedialogue of the begining of ME2.
Anyway, where/how can I find some of those banners for forum signatures?

Hahaha, gather around, my European friends. Basically, Thanksgiving began as the celebration of a successful harvest by the Pilgrims (which was a big deal, since most early colonizations of this place failed come winter). Throw in a few myths and you have the modern version of the American Thanksgiving! That's about it.

And I'm all for feasting days! Bring 'em on!



Of course, I always seem to gain wait around this time of year... I just see it as winter padding! Lol
I'll lose it come summer.

Also, I'm liking this Holiday DLC thing we've got going on! Hmm, I don't know why, but for some reason I see Grunt hotly defending the turkey and refusing to let it become the centerpiece of the Normandy's Thanksgiving meal.

Grunt: So, your people celebrate success by engorging themselves one day out of the year?
Shepard: Pretty much, yeah.
Grunt: And each year, millions of these earth fowls are killed so that you may be gluttons?
Shepard: (rubs the back of his/her neck) Uhh, yeah.
Grunt: Sharp talons, sharp beak, a threatening expression, an intimidating build that makes it look stronger than it really is, and a natural battle cry that dumbfounds its opponets?
*pause*
Grunt: This earth fowl is a born warrior! I will not allow it to suffer this insult!
*Grunt grabs the turkey and runs into the cargo hold*
Shepard: Hey, wait a minute!

Also, one turkey per crewman? Isn't that a little... much? Well, on the bright side, they'll have enough turkey, turkey sandwiches, turkey salad, turkey gravy, turkey hash, Turkey a la King, and gallons of turkey soup to last them through the Reapocalypse! But in all honesty, I think four would be enough!

Thanks Tigus, and welcome

If you have your eye on any of the sigs in particular, i'm sure the person adorning them would happily link you

[NamiraWilhelm]

Lol omega, i know at least that much about Thanks Giving And thats exactly why i'm so astonished every year to be asked by Americans if we celebrate it over here :s i mean, does that mean they don't know what thanks giving is or ... who knows lol

And you forgot turkey drummers. Do you guys have turkey drummers? Oh! And turkey dinosaurs, nom! its like crap meat in batter in the shape of drumsticks or dinosaurs... mmmm

Hmm, never heard of turkey drummers. I have eaten dinosaur-shaped poultry, but it was chicken dinosaurs. I also wouldn't be surprised if there was an American variant of turkey drummers that are chicken. We Americans and our culinary uses of the chicken... exactly where is the nugget on a chicken?

[NamiraWilhelm]

Its a chickens nuggets, duh! Nah i'm just kidding; they're birds, its called a cloaca

Mmm chicken dinosaurs sounds nom... holy crap, major tangent xD

Okay how about this guys. What is your FAVE piece of Joker fan art? And why?

[Victia]

Thanks TigusVidiks, as to the siggs I believe there are quite a few on the op :-D

[Patchwork]

Mini space turkeys loose on the Normandy!
For every one you capture another two take its place! What can I say, I have fond memories of KOTOR.
-Thanksgiving is in November isn't it?



Ignoring the messed up timeline I can see something like the above having pride of place in his parents' home.

[CDRSkyShepard]

Reminds me of an old 80's commercial about some restaurant chains "all white meat chicken nuggets," where there are a bunch of guys talking about where on the chicken the nuggets come from. "Well, you assemble the respective parts..." "What kind of parts?" "Different parts!" "Fused." "Parts is parts, I guess..." Lol.

I dunno Omega, I think Grunt would enjoy hunting the turkey...they can be very difficult to catch!

Grunt: It was a good hunt, Shepard! I took that turkey down though it mocked my strength!
Shepard: I just wish there was more left of it for us to EAT, Grunt...

Haha. There should be some siggys on the OP, Tigus, and if you see one that isn't there ask one of us for a link. I think there are also some in the Snap, Crackle and Pop group.

Edit: Oh, lemme go find my favorite Joker fanart...I know what it is, just not where...

[IdRatherBeSleeping]

Most nuggets are processed right? So I think that they are made of chopped bits of chicken from anywhere on the chicken unless otherwise specified. Like an all white meat nugget would only be made from the breasts or wings. Doesn't sound that appetizing? Mmmm . . .

[Warplan]

Joker love interest ... for Shep????? no.
Poor joker would be snapped into small glassy shards by any Fem-shep in the game.

And yea, sorry guys, but I absolutely believe Joker is a commited straight man.

Now.... a full sensory interface with a ship's AI...... The Ultimate Piloting Experience??
Yea, THAT I could see.
Oh! Crap! now I got THAT picture in my head... Man, where is an icepick...

[RhiPanda]

I cannot contribute to the chickeny/turkey convo being a veggie D=
Buut my favourite fanart, hmmm I will have to have a looksie cause there are so many that I loove

[CDRSkyShepard]

But, Rhi, can't you have a Tofurkey? Or are those gross? I wouldn't have any idea...

I can't find a single favorite fanart to save my life. I pretty much love anything Sorrel, does. Her Joker and Kaidan creations are so awesome.

[Koji-san]

My FemShep's reaction to Joker as LI...

[phantomdragoness]

We're talking about Thanksgiving? Dude, I gain like...three pounds after that holiday. SO MUCH TURKEY AND CRANBERRY SAUCE AND DRESSING. And the left overs don't help. Thanksgiving lasts two weeks in my family because we cook so much. XD

Then I feel guilty and run an extra mile. :\\

I have a feeling Joker would eat just as much - probably scarf all the meat and shove the rest in his pockets for later.

Shep: Joker...is that a turkey leg in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Joker: *smirks* What do you think?
Shep: Well...considering there's a growing stain on the front of your pants, I really hope it's the turkey leg.
Joker: Goddamnit! *pulls out turkey leg*
Shep: Thank God.

And yes, Thanksgiving is on November 26th. Americans gorge themselves. It's the ultimate holiday of Gluttony. lol

Welcome! Here, have a cookie:



Well...before the Cookie Monster gets it, anyways.

And there are plenty of Joker banners here, put I'll post a couple:

[CDRSkyShepard]

D'aww, Cookie Monster has a happeh.

I'm so wearing my Joker hat to the Thanksgiving dinner table, just so I can take a picture and post it here subtitled, "Jokernerd Thanksgiving!"

I love you guys. You give me inspiration when I have extreme writer's block. *Stares grumpily at her not-even-halfway-finished chapter*

[lokipwner]

Phantom that was the funniest thing ever!! I was rolling on the floor.

[SilentK]

Well hurra!! for people wanting Joker-banners!

Go get them in the OP if you want them, which by the way, is great! Not that I wrote it, it was our very own fabulous phantomdragoness who wrote it. I'm more of lazy typewriter coming in after the hard work is done, lol.

This was great, I can really see them eating turkey leftovers for a month or so. Until Gardner finally snaps and throws it all out. Or give the scraps to Grunt.

Ohh... for Joker-pic. Here's something Holiday-related. Couldn't find one with a turkey so you guys will just have to make due with a Christmas pic, lol.

Shameless selfpromotion. Third and final chapter in reluctant is up, so http://www.fanfictio...470/1/Reluctant

But if you are a troll, or someone who feels too emotionally attached to your operating system don't bother. None of Joker's bones get crushed, and there is no inappropriate contact with an AI, which would make the story extremely boring for you.

I wish I celebrated a holiday somewhere between now and christmas. Oktober/November are just completely tedious.

Lol Vic, English here too, i only know what i've seen on tv

Sorry, you started the topic if I recall correctly, so I assumed you're well-informed. 75% of Americans don't even know what Europe is, not to mention its location. No offense, of course. But if I would start to count how many times I was asked "What is Poland/European Union/Visegrád Group/Weimar Triangle anyway?" or "So, Europe fought in Second World War too?", I wouldn't end until Xmas.

Back to topic. @SilentK: This picture is PERFECT! Ohh, I'd love to see this happen. Well, we had presents for our teammates in Dragon Age. Why not include this feature in Mass Effect?
@Koji - NOES! You can break Joker's bones! He will certainly die if he has sex! He has OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA! Do you even know what does it mean?! He can't live like a normal person! You can't romance him, period!

[NamiraWilhelm]

@Wejki - What??? You know i was talking to Victia?

- If you do not agree with a romance, that's fine. So long as you have a
good reason and are able to discuss it appropriately, we will be glad
to talk with you about it as well.

I do not agree with the romance because I am tired of every character being "fair game" . It's like every thing that has a hole, shepard wants to abuse it.

Let's not forget, Joker is our pilot, our friend, are trusted ally. Some characters need to remain just friends. This isn't the loveboat.

Finally, Joker romance is just as inplausible as Tali romances. Both of these people have weak ass bodies and shouldn't be engaging in sex.

I know I shouldn't reply.. but I couldn't help myself.

You are aware you've just compared an Alien with a completely different biological make up to a human with a condition? Humans with Osteogenisis Imperfecta have been getting married/having kids for a while. In modern times. You could apply your argument to Tali, sure.. but Joker? No. I really don't think you can, and I also think it's rather offensive trying to do so. I mean, you're basically saying that people with a condition cannot and should not engage in any sexual activity for fear of delictate bones, and the hight of irony is you clearly know nothing about this syndrome. It affects the more delicate bones, such as legs/arms. Not the pelvis, which is really quite strong in comparison.

So yeah.. You seem to always be quite negative about everything on these boards. Some things are understandable (the Thane thing, I agree. It added a great point of view to his romance/friendship, the fact that he was dying and there was no cure), others not so much. Joker really is one of the more plausible romances going and that's coming from someone who doesn't actually want to romance him (Sorry guys.. It'll be like banging Chris Griffon >_>). He's loyal, you've died for him and there seems to be huge indicators that there might possibly be chemistry there. If an alien that has skin contact could possibly die became romancable, I really wouldn't be surprised if Joker did (and I hope he does for you guys, I can understand the want. I really can. It's just the whole Family Guy.. it'll be too wrong for me >_>)

OMG I refuse to believe 75% of Americans don't know what or where Europe is...though, it wouldn't surprise me. We get little to no education in history past the American Civil War, and an even smaller amount of education in basic geography. *Sigh* That's what you get when you let the government fund EVERYTHING. /rageagainsttheuneducatedrant

I love you, Vicki, I really do, you makes me has lots of laffs...

Anyway, anyone doing anything for Halloween? Dressing up as anything ME/Joker-related? I would be doing my female incarnation of Joker, but my uniform pants aren't going to be ready in time. XD Decided to be Starbuck from BSG instead.

Where are where are you acknowledging my main argument?


Hello. Hello. I know you fans are use to ignoring truth but implausibility is a brain bustingly good argument. Maybe one of you fine young ladies want to debunk it? Less you counciously engage in fictional romances that have no chance on God's beautifully blue Earth of happening.

Point one, Joker romance adds nothing to the already thin main plot. Kaidan and Liara added new layers to Shepards struggle. Joker romance would not only add nothing but detract greatly.

For example, "Isn't that Sheppard, saviour of Humanity, vanquisher of Reapers?"

"Oh yeah but she got screwed by her brittle boned pilot."
"ew"


Also, "indicators of interest"? What is LOOKING at sheppard an indicator of interest? Seriously, I've seen some stretching in my day but this has to be the worst. it's like you're looking for gold on the beach.

Why exactly is it implausable? So far, you've provided no argument except a biological one, which as pointed out by more than just myself, is not an argument at all.

Point is, it does add to Shepards struggle should that player wish to engage in it. Just because you yourself have no interest in the romance does not equal everyone will think the same.

The third bit is just pure offensive-ness, for which you have been reported for. You're acting like people with disorders are less than human and could not hope to achieve a good romance (both in game and real life).
