Oh my goodness, you guys are missing out! Snake's feel quite amazing! And yes, mnomaha, they do feel very smooth, like oddly textured silk and thin plastic blended together. In the larger snakes you can feel their musculature twisting and tensing beneath their skin, they feel so powerful. Some feel rougher than others but Burmese pythons feel the most extraordinary to me. And they're always quite cool to the touch.

If you can safely touch a snake, I'd highly recommend it because they feel different than you'd expect. In my mind, that's precisely the way a Drell would feel.

@Mayra...I wholeheartedly agree...

@Coldi...that is a bit more comforting than the whole skin concept. Really, I instantly thought of the Basilisk from Harry Potter and kinda freaked out.

@mnomaha

Hahaha, well I did read a fanfiction about Thane shedding his skin once. That was a bit... interesting.

Anyway, these things... I think about them.

I know you are quite serious here, but well, wow.  I think I need a smoke after that.

@Aislinn, I read one about scales. It was rather sweet. I can do scales, whole Thane-skins...that's a bit different.

Sydzilla is quite right. Reptiles are fascinating. Hmmm, maybe another reason I like Thane?

LOL that could very well be. I have to admit, I much prefer the snake analogies over the fish ones that my family insists on using.

My mind went to very, very naughty places after reading that 

Yeah, seriously. I didn't even get dinner first.

LOLOL.....k,k, I need sleep.....too much wine....dogs kickin' me......husbands buggin' me......got a vivid imagination going on (aaaaah Thank you ladies!!), so I'm off to bed. Ciao Belas!

[mnomaha]

*sigh* Night Coldi!

[utaker1988]

OMG you ladies!!! And here I was trying to behave tonight, I was asked earlier if I could go one night without an inappropriate thought. I knew better than to come in here. But I do agree with mayra, "I'd rather Thane shed his clothes instead of his skin." dem thighs....

[mnomaha]

These are not inappropriate thoughts. No thought about Thane is inappropriate.

[sydzilla]

I feel comforted that you guys agree with or at least didn't laugh at my snake comparisons. And glad my snake/Thane awe could elicit some pleasant thoughts, biologically rooted though they may have been. I think the parallels are fascinating. I so wished for more Drell in the ME series and waaaaaaay more Thane in ME3. His romance was so wonderful in ME2.

[RShara]

Snakes feel awesome. Most lizards do. I like them a lot. Lyss wrote a Thane-shedding fic a long while back that was actually adorable and cute

There are lots of stories about seductive snake-ish people

[utaker1988]

Yes the snake/Thane talk did elicit some pleasant thoughts. I stand corrected, there are no inappropriate thoughts about Thane. Of course my first thought was, "ya wanna pet my snake?" And it all went south from there.

[mnomaha]

LOL to al. Yeah, I'm not a snake person, or really a nasty critter person, hence the appeal of New Zealand. No snakes.

On another note: People ****** me off. This was on the Thane wall thread (facebook)

"Woooow, I find it hard to believe there's so much hate about Thane in ME3. I think his story was brilliantly done and brilliantly ended, and anyone who thinks they should have been able to save him is delusional. I didn't romance him in 2, so I don't know how that plays out, but ya know what? I made a conscious decision not to romance someone who was terminally ill. Yeah, I didn't want to have them die and feel like poop after."

I hate it when people make remarks without knowing what the heck they're talking about, and then admit that they don't know what the heck they're talking about. <_<

I'm getting lonely on there.

[sydzilla]

I don't really get how people can't understand that his death really isn't the point. Honestly, though of course I would *love* to have content finding/retrieving/administering a cure, his death is probably lowest on my list of disappointments. It's the poor handling of his romance/lack of achievable love interest status, previously romanced character arc disintegration, lack of connection to the universe via acknowledgment by the rest of the cast of characters/Shep herself, small amount of screen time, potentially skippable meeting, and potential off screen death that makes his treatment feel so poor. Why, why, why do so many people jump to basically "you knew he was dying and you're stupid for being surprised when he dies". His death is the least harmful thing ME3 does to his character and that is really saying something.

But those arguments are ignored and promptly invalidated because they're A) Not representative of the Friend path others took or Disrespected as "fan girl" mewling. Stop trying to dictate and belittle fans for liking something differently than you like it, especially fan *girls*. There is no shame in women enjoying things, stop trying to shame them for it because it is absurd.

And whoever posted that drivel above is awfully presumptuous to think that he/she knows better concerning a subject they admittedly didn't experience first hand. They should have started and then stopped that post with "I didn't romance him in 2, so I don't know how that plays out" because that is the only bit that I can agree with.

 I would go there, but I never go onto facebook and I don't really know how to use it. 

[mnomaha]

LOL it's okay Taavo.

@sydzilla...I don't get people like that either. Having said that, my reply is just as childish as their post.

[utaker1988]

I would be there but I had to take a break, I'm on the smutty part of my story. There is a reason why I stopped doing this, in order to get it out, I need to be slightly buzzed. Out comes the alcohol....LOL. I'd rather lick Thane for the high but that's not a choice I have. Maybe I'll just pretend, I'll go lick my poster and pretend the buzz is from that. heh heh... I will have no good explanation if my old man comes out of the room and he catches me doing that. At least the poster erases any embarrassing moment like getting my tongue stuck in the zipper. Oh the pain!

[Hadeedak]

Oh... Hi, thread. You're trying to make it hard to go to sleep, huh?

[mnomaha]

@utaker...LOL if you start licking that picture...I hope the hub gets a picture for us.

@Hadeedak...well, yes.
