(Now that I have your attention...)
Hello my fellow Talimancers,
I have been appointed as a moderator for your forum in the hope of of revitalizing the conversation on this website. Like many of you, I no longer see life worth living without Tali. Or rather, Tali has infected my life, ironically like a virus that would kill her.
(Speaking of incredible suffering and death, I still have not gotten over the ending of Mass Effect 3 - I’ve read all the fanfiction I could find to ease the wounds Mac Walters has inflicted on my psyche)
In truth my blatant and brazen love of Tali has affected my life negatively. I had a failing marriage that was only complicated by my fascination with quarians. My wife would get mad at me for saying “keelah” all the time, or quipping in response to her queries. “Have you done the dishes, dearie?” “The answer to your question...is yes.” [But can you blame me? ; ) :3 Tali’s just too cute!]
We eventually got a divorce...and it was totally worth it. ; ) I’m glad our relationship ended because Tali and Shepard taught me what true love is like, and not my ex-wife (who I do miss occasionally). She was too selfish and always scolded me when I asked her to wear more purple or sing from Fleet and Flotilla. (I used to dress up all the time in Lord of the Rings cosplay as Frodo, for fair context.)
Before my discovery of Tali, I was depressed and would often find it impossible to get out of bed. I got a promotion shortly after I watched the romance scene in Mass Effect 2 because every day I’d go into work and think “this is what Tali would want.” This finally helped me after years of therapy and visits from my pastor could not.
Now I have decided to share my fervent desire with the few who have held on hardcore - those who wouldn’t let the years of time erode their love. In a way, I feel spiritually entwined with Tali - and even though she can’t speak to me, I can speak to her. I feel like a lover still visiting an Alzheimer’s patient with strong dementia. My unheard love is a living monument to her glory. And she will be, always and forever, totally worth it.
