I adore this picture.

Seconded. Seriously the artist should post this on deviant art

I just got disconnected on the extraction round on a gold match after pretty much carrying my team (120k score) and I wanted to rage so bad. Went for a walk around the block instead. And now I'm here and in a better mood.

I guess it's just my headcanon but I just don't see how kid(s) fit into Shepley. Meh, I don't know.

For some reason, my computer doesn't let me display images in the forum anymore, so here's a link.

Something I think is sweet.

I love this.

You know something that irritates me? I was reading a thread complaining about the Jacob romance (what they did with that really was horrible, btw) and somone made a good point - Jacob tells Shepard that "the Normandy is your true love." And Shepard more or less just agrees with him - he/she never gets a chance to dispute that.

It didn't occur to me when it first happened, but, yeah - that's bad. Pretty sure that Edwin Shepard is in love with Ash, and really wouldn't mind the chance for a normal life.

*sighs*

I miss the conversations with Ash in ME1 - you know, where we actually had a chance to choose who our Shepards are, instead of having it forced on us.

Yeah, the auto-flirting with some characters pissed me off. Jon-Mal is not that kind of guy. And its gonna suck when I put my Renagon through ME3. The Renagade choices are downright evil. There's no 'true neutral' anymore. Which is what your character could become in ME1. Not so much in ME2, and definately not in 3.

See, the arc I have for my renagon Shepard is that he goes from Renagade to Renagon through ME1. Renagon through most of ME2 with him slowly shifting to more paragon choices at the end of the game and a true neutral in ME3. ME3 however doesn't give the 'true neutral' option. Which pisses me off. You have to choose 'A' or 'B'. You can't take the third option in conversations annoyingly enough. In the Geth/Quarrian conflict you can... sort of. But that's about it.

Kind of frustrating, too. Because for some reason the 'renagade' option also means 'no'. Where as in ME1, it didn't/

Would explain more, but in the mid of a silver game.

Officially the reason is that by ME3 Shepard's character is going to have some very strong opinions. Would you be "neutral" with the galaxy going to hell around you?

At least thats according to Weekes.

I pick the forty option...every single time. Too bad Joker interrupts it.

[dahellraider]

@survivor_686

I think we all pick that option LOL, I always find that scene weird, how shepard is fully clothed just looking at her naked.

[Instance]

My canon Shep always makes really bad hallmark moments. He would choice the paragon option, I however would not lol.

This is also a good example of the renegade option not acctually being "no"

[Aurora313]

@Survivor.

What I mean is, Shepard has to pick side A, or Side B. He can't choose to shout 'STFU, Get the F ovre it and HELP ME!' anymore. There's only two major occasions you can do that, and that's with the Turian/Krogan and the Geth/Quarrian. Each is a monumental feat on it's own, but still. Only twice in the entire game... it's quite disappointing.

I was. Disappointed quite a bit, even with Ashley because she lacked so much. I wanted to know what happened to her in those two years Shepard was gone and we don't find out, it annoys me.

[Aurora313]

Writing is such a pain in the ass. Anyone else have that problem where they have to constantly go back and edit their words then forget where they were going? Got a few tips that when you write, you should just gush out words (whether it sounds good or not) until you finish the piece then go back through it and edit. I can't seem to do that. K
ind of surprising considering I'm a creative type, and also very annoying because I'm stuck on my Shepley fictions too... -.-

Yeah.

That's why I usually write in colors when I do big stuff. Black = done. Red = needs to be replaced. Blue = replacement, needs approval - and so on.
That's the hard work I guess. Writing down a full story line and create connections in your mind is the easy stuff, but making a full blown fiction is a f*ckin' job.

Hell, I stuck constantly ...

And add multilingual problem - when you know how to write something precisely on one language, but there is simply no analogue in another language. And if work is performed by several persons, working together on English, but for none of them this language is first... Okay, among us, Warsaw Pact guys, we could use something like surzhyk and "body language" (sort of more primitive form of sign language), but dem capitalists...

[Ushanka]

Oh yeah, Rudy, this is big problem. (:

[SJNKD]

I start writing and end up with heaps and it makes no sense until I go back through it and switch words around. I think I write in another language sometimes.

[CptData]

Does "born in German Democratic Republic 8 years before the end of the pact" count too, Rudy?
Talking with "hands and feet" is always possible (bodylanguage) ...

Whatever.

I quit typing my stories in German, translate them to English and fix grammar issues. Today, I type down my stories in English right from the start. It usually doesn't cause any grammar related problems and is four to five times faster than the first method. Mainly 'cause I -think- in English. Translating is not economical, it means you have to think in TWO languages instead of one.

Not as big if you can physically visit your colleague and with little help of body signs show him what exactly you meant.

Of course! DDR FTW. At least all those people I personally met.

Yep, but it requires either ability physically visit them, or makes videos or photographs, if you cannot.

Sometimes you have to work on several languages, regardless of what is better, but this is generally for multinational works. Sometimes you just know that certain part could be written better on other language, so you leave it till "overmind" will be able to find solution. Sometimes that solution is removal, unfortunately, otherwise you got "insider joke" only. Puns could be problematic as well. But you know all this, so...

I can think on English, but either I do that worse than you do, or my mind calibrated for my language, way of thoughts, mentality, experience, etc, so it doesn't work from time to time. OF course I can always blame concussion and amnesia.

Hmm... Body Language. You know that some movements may be perceived different in different cultures? (:

Like "thumb up"? In some cultures it's an offending gesture - with the same meaning as the middle finger in western world.

Back to Ashley, hmm?

What do you think - does Ashley speak multiple languages? In my headcanon, she has origins in USA, Europe and Astralia and is interested in some languages like Spanish and German. She dislikes French 'though ("It's a hell of a language and I don't get the grammar). Not sure if she tried to learn one of the languages from eastern europe - maybe yes, maybe no?

[Ushanka]

I think she knows English and one alien language, little bit. Well, there we have translators, so this is no longer big problem. (:
(Why? French is beautiful language. (: )

I failed @ French. Think Spanish is easier to learn (but never tried it).

And being able to use different languages still may help in a future with autotranslators. And Ash seems to be an educated person, why shouldn't she learn more languages?

Given her cranium (dem cheekbones), she actually could know one language from Eastern Europe already. Say, grandma/grandpa language. Not highly proficient, maybe.
Not sure for her personality though - some people are highly determined on something, and other are quite "relaxed".

With those translators, only nerds will want to learn foreign language. and I even see purpose for that. However, given people general laziness...

Ushanka wrote...

Too overloaded, overcrowded and unclear.
German is much better (at least military part of it) - they just combine multiple words into one, yet keep their meaning absolutely clear. I had only one problem with military part of German so far - "boden". Not sure what that meant. I mean we figured possible meanings, but no concrete, even guys from Bundeswehr were unable to help us. Tsk.

[Aurora313]

I learned French for a term, very little spanish, German, some spoken japanese. English is my native tongue, but I failed English Comprehension all the way through school. Excellent story-teller, horrible at articulating my thoughts on something I've read or watched on paper. I can speak it out, but I can't write it down.
