Ashley: Oh.. my god..!
Shepard: What-What? What happened?
Ashley: My plushie...
Shepard: What's wrong with your plushie?
Ashley: *slight sniffle* It broke...
Shepard: ... oh, you've gotta be kidd -
Ashley: It's broken...
Shepard: ... how?
Ashley: *holds up armless doll and the arms* They fell off.
Shepard: See, this is what happens when you carry that thing on missions.
Ashley: Oh shut up.
Shepard: No, cause I warned you that if you took that thing everywhere, you'd break it. And what has happened? You broke it.
Ashley: ... *lip tremble*
Shepard: No, no, no. Don't you dare give me that face.
Ashley: *Ashley uses Puppy-Dog eyes.*
Shepard: *Shepard uses resist. He fails resistance check.* Gah! Find, I'll buy you a new one... I mean, god forbid I had to war with half of Omega to get it in the first damn place.
Ashley: *It was super effective* Thank you.
Shepard: Chr*st, the things I do for you.
Ashley: Have fun storming Omega.
Shepard: Ya-huh....

Lol. Shepard is whipped. There's no denying it. He is WHIPPED.

because ashley's face is too white? (in the demo)

[racer700]

doing my first femshep playthrough, it's weird hearing a female voice instead of a guys voice. at least Ashley's still awesome.

No actually, its significantly toned down since the beta.  It just depends on the angle and shot.

ADLegend, seriously. Let it go.
I'm honestly at the point now where I don't care if people think Ashley is a racist, because it's not like it's going to ruin my enjoyment of Mass Effect 3. I'm still able to romance her, and she's still who she was in Mass Effect 1. Other then that, who cares what anyone else thinks?
Seriously, let them think whatever they want. If they are up for debates, sure I'll welcome it. But not juvenile name calling and bashing.

As I've said before all this 'my country tis of thee' self righteous bashing does is put us in the same position as the people who used to give us hell for the last two years. Only now it just makes us look ridiculous and like bullies because I can honestly say it's been a while since I've seen anyone make a 'let's bash Ashley' thread so attitude like this makes us look like a washed up prize fighter trying to smack talk an old opponent.

Also it really needs to be said, Tali does have a right to be concerned about Geth and to have animosity towards them. Quarians may have attempted to kill all Geth after they gained sentience but the Geth also responded by killing all Quarians they could find. Reducing a population of over two billion to a barren seventeen million.
Granted, no one comes out of the Geth/Quarian conflict looking particularly good and neither side gets the coveted 'moral high ground' but the descendants of that conflict kind of have a right to be pissed.

But still to conclude, I came onto this thread and this site in June 2010 so that I could discuss all things Mass Effect with people who were of similar interests and so that I could have a space where I could discuss my liking of certain characters like Ashley without the risk of being flamed for it. After a while I became roped into a long debate that eventually resulted in me being heavily entrenched in these stupid 'my character is better then yours' wars and I guess it's only recently that I've realized how stupid and immature they are.
After a while I grew tired of the bickering and the fighting and at long last when things started to die down, when threads about Ashley could be made without flame wars. Where people could calmy discuss why they like Ashley and people who can calmly and level headedly explain why they don't like Ashley, suddenly angry 'attack' tactics like this just drive me up the wall.

What I'm saying is, ever since I joined I always hoped I would see the day when I could have conversation about Mass Effect, Ashley and other characters without having to wave any banner or feel like I have to 'stick up for my favorite character' on the internet wars. Frankly I think that day has come or at least is as close as it ever will be. I can discuss Ashley without being flamed, that's what I wanted for the net. All I ever wanted.
So frankly, can we just end the angry attitude? Because right now it's looking more and more like we are the bullies in this situation now. And I don't want that to be the case, I like you guys and I like the conversations we have about Ashley.
Let's just leave this thread to just that.

You're my favorite person in this thread!

Harrot: Slight enthusiasm: Hello Commander Shepard. You come back for another purchase?
Shepard: I'll have a plushie please. Spectre Shepard Edition.
Harrot: Apologizing: We don't have plushies in our sortiment anymore.
Shepard: Why that? Last time I bought one you had plenty.
Harrot: Apologizing: No, we had never that many plushies in store. Less apologizing: But maybe we can find a solution that helps us both.
Shepard: What do you need?
Harrot: Real enthusiasm: the Vorcha are still a problem on Omega. Conspiratorial: They opened a shop down in their district and selling stuff they -quotes- found -quotes-.
Shepard: And you believe they took your plushies and sell them to ... other Vorcha? Do have Vorchas other customers than Vorcha?
Harrot: Wondering: Never found out. Relieved: you're going to get back my goods?
Shepard: I'll go and try to find out what's going on.
Harrot: Truly relieved: Thank you, Commander Shepard. Promising: You can have a full collection of plushies.
Shepard: I'm glad if I can get a Spectre Shepard plushie. I should go now.

.... elevator ride ...
Garrus: This is the stupidest mission ever.
Tali: I think it's cute, Garrus. At least Shepard tries to get a present for Ashley.
Garrus: It's a waste of my skills, Tali. I'm not shooting anything.
Tali: And I enjoy this mission because we don't have to shoot us through an army to get something done.
Garrus: Still - no shooting: waste of my skills. Why not picking Miranda instead? Hey, even Joker could have done it.
Shepard: I picked you two because I enjoy your elevator banter.
Garrus: That was random.
Tali: Indeed.
.... elevator ride end ...


Shepard. So ... I heard you sell goods here?
Kizzlik: We not selling goodzzz to outsiderzzz!
Shepard: I'm no outsider. I'm Commander Shepard and this is ...
Kizzlik: You deaf?! We not selling goodzzz to outsiderzzz! You human! You outsider! Go away! Leave Kizzlik alone!
Shepard: Okay. Let me put it this way: you tell me where you get your goods from and I may buy something, handing over some fine credits.
Kizzlik: Creditzzz? No worth for Vorcha! We want blood! Pay with blood! Get what you want.
Garrus: Maybe we can pay with his blood?
Shepard: Garrus - no. Not yet.
Garrus: You're the boss, Shepard.
Kizzlik: No blood, no purchase.
Shepard: And what about a good fight? I heard you Vorcha enjoy fights.
Kizzlik: Promizzzzing. Fight Hazzlak the Ancient. Oldest Vorcha in history.
Shepard: Okay, where's that guy - and how old?
Kizzlik: 30 of your yearzzzz. Here. HAZZLAK! CUSTOMERZZZ!
Hazzlak: Where?
Kizzlik: There. Make dead! Fresh blood!
Hazzlak: ROOAOAAAAWR! ROOA- *falls dead*
Shepard: Garrus!
Garrus: But ... but I thought my skills where needed!
Tali: *shakes head, facepalming*
Shepard: Now purchase?
Kizzlik: Yezzzzz. Plenty of blood!
Shepard: *searching store* fine.
Kizzlik: And, human?
Shepard: Where did you get that stuff from?
Kizzlik: Vorcha smart! Find stuff everywhere!
Shepard: Where did you get that stuff from?
Kizzlik: Human deaf? We find thingzzz!
Shepard: I heard you. Where do you find "stuff"?
Kizzlik: We do trade! And find stuff! Everywh- *falls dead*
Garrus: Oops.
Tali: *facepalms*
Shepard: I give up. Lets pick up Harrot's stuff and go home. I'm done for today.

.... elevator ride ...
Garrus: ... and then: BAM! Head off!
Tali: I know. I was there. Right ten minutes ago.
Garrus: At least I could shoot something.
Tali: And gave them a reason to attack us. We barely made it.
Garrus: It felt like the good ol' times as Archangel. I really miss them ...
Tali: I hope you enjoy that bullet in your chest.
Garrus: Just a light scratch.
Shepard: Cut that chatter! I won't pick you two next mission!
.... elevator ride end ...

Harrot: Honest enthusiasm: you brought my goods back?
Shepard: Yeah, here they are. I hope you're happy now. Can I get my Shepard plushie? I just wanna go back to the Normandy.
Harrot: Friendly-Professional: Take a pick. One Shepard plushie costs 500 Credits. Good mood: I can give it for 450 Credits since you helped me.
Shepard: Wait - I thought you would give me that one plushie for free? I brought back your goods - worth more than 200,000 Credits!
Harrot: Apologizing: I'm a trader, Commander. I need to make profits.
Tali: No, Garrus! Keep your rifle down!!!!
Garrus: Oops.
Harrot: Wondering: What is wrong with your Turian friend?
Shepard: He's trigger happy. Killed Kizzlik, your Vorcha competitor.
Harrot: Almost-****ing-my-pants: Good news! I can give you that Shepard plushie for free! A good day, Commander Shepard, a good day!
Shepard: Yeah. And I should go now.

Garrus: I almost had him. Just one shot ...
Tali: Uhh shut up, Vakarian.
Shepard: I just hope Ashley enjoys this plushie that much like she did last time ...

pffft!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Oh, god, that's a tear to the eye.

Shepard: Here!
Ashley: Oh yay! A SpecTRe Shepard!
Shepard: Yes, you wouldn't believe the sh!t I had to do to get it.
Ashley: ...
Shepard: What?
Ashley: Where's the SpecTRe Williams to match?
Shepard: ...
Ashley: And the cute little stuffed revanants?
Shepard: Pardon?
Ashley: Whoever gave you this ripped you off.
Shepard: What?!
Ashley: Yeah, these things had weapons to match too.
Shepard: Did I get ripped off?
Ashley: I just said that.
Shepard: ... Fu-! Trying-to-curb-swearing Damn it! That cigar smoking, hunch-backed sack'o'crap.
Pierce: Hey Knives, Ash? You busy? Can I come in?
Shepard: Rox! Get your 'Aurora'!
Pierce: Ohh! Are we going sniping?
Shepard: 'Bout time you and I bonded. We're going Elcor clubbing.
Pierce: Sah-weet.
Ashley: ... Wow... Think he may have to lay off the booze for a while.
Joker: He's not drunk.
Ashley: ... I don't know if I should want to gut you for listening in, again, or the fact that he's sober and tossing a tantrum...?
Joker: Both?

My Sheploo with Ashley getting his much needed dose of exposure.

Hey... What's my Shepard doing in your demo bro!?
I love this pic.... But shouldn't Ash look... I don't know... less happy about the reaper invasion?

[Aurora313]

Shepard: *sharp inhale* I wanna say it.
Ashley: Don't say it John.
Shepard: I swear, I really wanna say it.
Ashley: Do not say it please, John.
Shepard: I'm gonna say it.
Ashley: John.
Shepard: I. Mother. Fu*kin'. told them so.
Ashley: I asked you no to say it.
Shepard: Yeah, well. It had to be said.
Ashley: Yes, I know.
Shepard: Loved to see the Turian jack-ass councillor try to 'dismiss' this.
Ashley: No, you cannot punch the Turian Councillor.
Shepard: I never said that.
Ashley: You were thinking it.
Shepard: *Whispers to fourth wall* I don't like her. She reads minds. Oh, Hi Ash! *punched, groans*
Ashley: Ass hole.

I think it should be created, because, albeit an hilarious dialogue, it's not enough Ash to warrant it being in the Ashley thread to be honest.

@V-rex; Well said! I feel we should be able to discuss anything Ashley related, in a civil manner. Now we can't say everyone visiting this thread will have to do so, but at least people who regularly visit the thread can.
I mean, AD, I understand that you're just trying to defend Ashley, but when you post that kind of  "comparison" pics it ends up as being a Tali bash, now you may not like her, but these kind of pics have no nuance to them and put Tali in an unfair and bad light, IN the Ashley Williams thread. If we intend to involve other characters to prove a point , we should do so in a fair manner, otherwise it just comes off as hypocritical and having double standars.

The same goes for those burqa pics, ts just intended to stir up something and could indeed all to easily take the thread into an immature flamewar-ish discussion.

Maybe she's happy she can finaly try to do something about it now she's on the Normandy with sheps again. Excited to make a differnece and all that.

Uh, Shepard's not happy Me thinks... Probably because Shepard hasn't made Ash 'feel good enough' since... uh, well, 2183? and it's now... 2186 or so?

[MegaBadExample]

That's something creepy I expect from Liara. "It doesn't matter that the reapers are destorying everything in front me... I'm standing next to *gasp* Shepard!"

Okay... I'm readin' to much into it. As you said Brain, Ashley knew the reapers were coming and nobody listened. I suppose standing beside Shepard on the Normandy again, for the first time in three years, ready to finally do something about, is something to smile about.

I don't think Ashley would consider, a quickie whenever Shepard feels like it, to revolve around making her feel good enough....And it would probably result in a swift kick in ''the quads''.

Still though...worth a try

[Aurora313]

Lol. It totally is worth it. Shepard Jr. Would probably be out of action for a while. But still worth it.

 I'm totally joking. That would actually suck, although so would delaying the romance scene until the final battle even if you were faithful. 

A random quickie somewhere? It wouldn't fit Ash's character IMO. I think she likes making Shepard work for it, she doesn't hand it out easily. And that sir, is why Shepard will age terribly if he romances Ash.

[CptData]

I doubt Ash & Shep go down for a quickie that early. Remember the trust issues? Would you sleep with your former (and maybe even ex-) lover that could already have moved on? ^^
