I just want to state that my boyfriend is the greatest! (Next to Garrus, of course. )
For my birthday, I received a certain amazing action figure! *plays with Garrus and Garnet figures together!* And totally OT, but saying it just because I am so happy, he got me a TardisUSB hub, a Dalek plushie, a Tardis shirt annnnd a sonic screwdriver/pen and the movie Thor! Yay Mass Effect/Doctor Who/adorable Demigod birthday!
He regretted getting them all for me immediately, after seeing the drool puddle.

Oh. I've been missing a lot on here, but the Garrus comic actually looks promising from the previews. Now I actually want to read that series despite the history of Dark Horse ME comics.

Sorry for going OT. Here is something to make up for it!

Thanks for sharing those Garrus-Shepard pictures. I especially like their expressions on the second one, it somehow appears very natural.

 So..I got a review yesterday on Loved where I was basically yelled at for my Shepard allowing Garrus to come along on Mordin's recruitment mission.  And because Meghan yelled at him for insisting he was fine and good to go instead of admitting he wasn't.

Er.... what? 

I absolutely love your stories and they should too!  

Aw, thank you!

[Armdin]

Yay to Amber Penglass, Sound the Clarion has been updated! Which reminds me, has anyone else noticed - at least on FFdotnet that ME stuff is slowing down? I've got about 5 Garrus/Shepard fics that I'm following and since EC came out they've all pretty much stopped updating. Or is it literally just the 5 I'm following that've stopped?


PS:

Had to share this one, but found it on tumblr so don't know the original artist D:
If anyone knows who it is please send us a link! 

Thanks to K-baggs who PM'd me with the original artist:

That last pic you posted - I can't post on the forums, so I'll send along this link to the artist's deviantart gallery.

I recognize that Grunt pic as rabbitzoro's art, she's zweihand on Livejournal.

I can only speak for myself, but I've been so busy this summer that I've barely had time to write. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's getting the rest of the authors you follow as well =)

And, well, there's the obvious leeching of fans when a series finishes. It's been five months since the game came out and about a month since the EC, so I guess people are wrapping up and moving on.

[Sialater]

Plus, it's the end of Shepard. And no one knows where the franchise will go in the future, if anywhere.

But, as for me, I'm just slow. Not that I'm assuming I'm one of the ones you follow. I've got too many projects on-going and too little time in the day to write.

*adorable Grunt snip*

That fic is pretty good. Usually I avoid AU's like the plague but a few people were singing its praises so I had a peek. Very pleasantly surprised. But, yeah, you're right things have been kind of slow, at least for the older stuff. I try really hard not to get too invested since some of my absolute favorite fics of all time have the habit of fading into the recesses of the last pages 

I'm working on posting up a few things myself but I've been stuck the past few days. Writing Tali is hard D: And I'm kind of waiting for the 25th. I'm hoping the Garrus Howmeworlds comic has some details I can glean. 

Also, that picture is my avatar on Origin

So when I first played the EC, I took two of my least favourite characters with my run to the beam because I wasn't sure what would happen to them.

I decided to wait to watch garrus/ Sheps goodbye for when I finished my second playthrough of shep/ garrus.

But when I saw that I still had a save just before it from my original playthrough (where I took Garrus and Tali) I just couldn't wait. And that goodbye. Oh my lord! I was crying again.

But I've watched some of the others on you tube and I've noticed that on no other romanced goodbye does Jennifer Hale's voice break like it does when she says goodybe to Garrus. It just makes it even more heartbreaking!

Plus he says I love you after all this time. *Heart Melt/Break*

Hale definitely sounded like she was about to cry. After the "you'll never be alone" line... poor Shepard.

Funny thing is the French voice actress doesn't sound like she's about to cry during the (new) final conversation. You'd think that's a bad thing, but I loved it. She sounds almost... relieved, at peace with herself. It fit my Shepard like a glove, actually.

I remember I actually had to stop playing for a little while before I could keep going, too many feels!

[EnvyTB075]

Hey Lethania, can we get that link to the FF dump you got going? Keep losing it amongst all the FTL boards.

Interesting that the nuances differ so greatly between the translations. No idea on the German VA, though, too used to the original to change languages again.
And I suppose that's again a demonstration on how much all the Shepards are different from each other. No matter if pure paragon or (somewhat) renegade, 'at peace with herself' equals 'resigned to his / her fate, ready to give up' for me, and that's the single one thing all of my Shepards can agree not to do. Perhaps it is a translation thing, though, or just personal interpretation of the (corresponding German) phrase.

[Karrie788]

Interesting indeed! In my case, actually, she wasn't exactly ready to "give up", her primary goal was to stop destroy the Reapers, and that's what she'll do, no matter what the cost - except if it means losing Garrus and/or Tali. She's the violently protective type. Which is ironic because she keeps bringing the people she feels the closest to in hell with her. But again, not ready to lose Garrus or Tali. Still bringing them everywhere. That's logic for you.
So her sounding so relieved and calm at the evac scene was perfect because in my head, she knew Joker would keep her crew - and especially the man she loves - safe.

Now don't get me wrong, she doesn't have a death wish. In fact she'll be very happy to see she survived the Crucible explosion - despite wondering how exactly she did it.

... seriously how exactly does Shepard manage to survive the Destroy ending?

Ah, I see your point. Not so completely different to my Shepards, then.

But about the last question: No idea, but I don't actually care, either 
Perhaps those creepy keepers save her after all, by picking her up and delivering her straight to the next (still working) hospital on the citadel. After all, Shepard is used to getting burned, spaced and whatever, and thanks to Mr Vega we all know that adrenaline is better than oxygene anyway.

I have three theories on how she survives:

a. The blast takes out the top platform, dropping Shepard down to where the conduit is. Alternatively a keeper or the catalyst drags/teleports her to it.
b. The 'actual' blast is a lot less severe than it looks. There's the burst of fire when the tube is broken, but the red light after that is mostly just the anti-reaper space magic. Most of the actual detonations appear to be in the citadel wings. In the extended cut, it looks like the "O" shape that connects the wings is still intact.
c. Space refrigerator to climb into, and safely ride the blast to earth. <----


cII. Yet to be released retcon, such as friendly Leviathan protecting Shepard, massive omega armada, ect ect

My theory was that to a video I saw on youtube, where this guy explains the indoctrination theory and that Shepard is dreaming of it all while she is in fact unconscious on Earth. So thats my head cannon - the whole creepy God-child thing, the flash backs and the images of the team putting her name on the wall was all in her head, and see Garrus in her dream having hope - makes her fight for life and breathe. If destroy is not picked then again they are in her head but she resigns herself to being a husk. Not sure what you guys think. But that is the idea that give me the most peace.

[Pyn]

me1... playing game a bit differently this time around, slow...


apparently the area building-structure and hostiles didn't spawn until left the Mako... so it was a flat small valley
...now EC in ME3, could very well be the same Mako from ME1 (looked fine in ME2 Normandy Crashsite DLC, so someone could have retrieved it since)...


mm missing a little texture on Garrus's face there....

I don't know how much I buy into the IT but I kind of like the idea that the crash and jungle planet scene was a dream/dying vision. Maybe with low EMS, it was Shepard worried about how maybe she hadn't done enough. With high EMS, it was a peaceful dream/dying wish (depending on your ending) that her family was gonna be okay.

I confess, though, I like that idea mostly because I just cannot fathom where/what that jungle planet is and a whole host of other factors about the memorial scene that just don't add up. Plus, how cool would it be that Shepard dreams about EDI's name being on the wall because of what that twisted brat told her but in reality, she was alive. Because f*ck you, BioWare.

I have yet to decide in my headcanon if EDI and the Geth are truly dead.


I'm pretty sure that asplosion wasn't as bad as it seemed, either (though WHY Shepard would WALK INTO the blast is beyond me). But I imagine the platform broke and she fell somewhere down to the Citadel proper. Maybe she crawled her way to a med station with one last medigel in there. She patches herself up and then some rubble falls on her and knocks her out. That gasp is Hackett's voice in her radio startling her awake from her dream. And then maybe Miranda or Aria (or both! ) come and drag her out. And cue recovery, reunion, happy ending and all that.


Or maybe I'm just consumed with denial. I dunno.

/headcanon rant



Oh and GARRUS!
