Considering Kahje and the Hanar...Thane would definitely be the fish. No reason why Garrus would be considered a fish.

[janeym27]

But isn't water problematic to the drell? (despite the whole Hanar thing)

[enormousmoonboots]

Thane looks really fish-like (on closer inspection, I can see that he's supposed to be closer to lizard, but on first glace most people say 'fish', which is...ironic), and people can never agree on what they think Garrus looks like. I've heard him referred to as lizard, mantis, bird, cat, dinosaur, cockroach, turtle...the list goes on.

[MarginalBeast]

People often accuse Thane of being fish-like, even though the drell have more in common with lizards.

Yes, but there's no reason to call Garrus a fish. At...all. At least with Thane you've got those nearly entirely black eyes, and the whole water planet and hanar thing.

Yeah. I get that. lol. Poor Thane.

Poor Thane. Being an arid-environment being living on a water world gives him a fatal, incurable disease AND he has to be called a fish?

[silentstephi]

It's the Abe Sapien looks that make people call him a fish.

Thane looks like a lizard to me. Particularly his hands. He's from an arid world, so I look at desert lizards.



The official ME novels describe Turians as avian or birdlike, though the lack of feathers, wings and...well, they do have slender waists but they don't seem fragile like birds' bones. But they do remind me of raptor dinosaurs, and dinos and birds are theoretically related, so....

[MarginalBeast]

Didn't Anderson call turians the "missing link between birds and dinosaurs"? That was his own personal opinion, but I think it's pretty accurate.

[enormousmoonboots]

Man, the fact that a lot of fanartists draw barechested Thane with stripes makes him even more Abe-like.



Still, a pale imitation. Have Mike Mignola draw Thane and I might be intrigued.

[silentstephi]

I love the look of both characters, I'm not picky. And while I can see the "Abe-ness" that some people allude to, Thane does look more snake like to me. When I first saw him, I was like... wait... is that guy a lizard? (I happened to catch him blinking, with the gecko blink) But I heard about the fishy reference later.



BTW Garrus

I'm 20 mins into my first MShep PT... this should be interesting. Took me like 3 restarts to get a non Sheploo I liked. Looking forward to a bromance with Garrus and Tali (Though I'm really curious about a Jack-mance, so this should be interesting.)

[janeym27]

Finally got my 360 online longenough to get the Garrus his fixed armour! Weeeeeeee!



Is it just me, or does it look slightly orange in the daylight? (the actual armour itsself, that is. not the blue light on it)



Also, Garrus moment. On Thane's recruitment mission, when releasing the Salarians from the vault, Shep and co pull their guns. lol at how even though they are standing only a few feet away, Garrus still insists on pulling out his sniper rifle. "Hand pistol? Pah! Those are for wimps. This gun, is the best gun ever." Bless.

Kaidan nor Jacob are the most vibrant and unique characters. Kaidan and Jacob are normal joes whereas Garrus and Thane are new and exciting. I suppose that's why the maliens are more popular.

Plus, like one of the developers pointed out, they have the disadvantage of the uncanny valley.  We know what humans are supposed to look like, how they are supposed to move, so every way the characters come up short is a lot more glaring.

Hi five, Towelie ban!  Yes, he is great in that.

So I fic'd a bit. Just a drabble. Not really worth much, but I think of the funniest things when I'm in the shower.
Warning, the other post in my scribbles is MA, so don't click if that's not your sort of thing. This one is also a bit MA, but nothing explict. But if nekkid squicks you out... well, don't click.

Memories

Really late but I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of Shep having tattoos.

It's too bad Thane is so angsty. Thane's lizardy-ness reminds me of my homeland of the American southwest. But when you've got someone like Garrus monopolizing all the bad assery, I guess terminal ilness and emotional baggage is the only way to be noticeable. I could have sworn there was a third male LI for FemShep but I can't be sure...

Nope. Thni that's it.

Shepard: Can't I have you both?

[Collider]

Haha. You can always have two saves to import. I think Garrus is better though. The whole dying thing with Thane is off putting for me.
Btw, to any Thane fans...not attacking Thane here, he's a great LI I think.

Who am I kidding: it's Garrus all the way!



I'm only just getting the appeal of Thane as LI on this playthrough. Before, the emotional baggage stuff put me off (yes, I am that shallow). But he is quite sexy. lol



It's interesting how little support for Jacob there seems to be on this forum (and on the internets in general). Poor fella.



Yes... I have several saves to import as it is. Still, always room for one more.

Thane is interesting, sweet, and quite handsome...but he's not Garrus.

I don't really think that's shallow. It's a legitimate concern.

a) Jacob's uninteresting compared to everyone else
Femshep sounds too predatory
c) There's less emotion in his romance in general. The romance scene basically boils down to Jacob being creepy and Femshep trying to sound sexy.

It's a shame there are so many blaring weaknesses in his romance because he seems to the be only romance that actually asks how Shepard is feeling. Which is a step in the right direction, I think.

Ehnnn, I don't think it's shallow to know that falling for somebody on their death bed isn't going to lead to happy times.  Sometimes you feel like watching The English Patient, sometimes you feel like watching Die Hard.  Yippee Ki Yay mutherfugger.

Sooo...quick question for you Garrus lovers who can sew and/or have small children...How probable do you think it would be for one of those adorable turian hats to stay put atop the head of a toddler? I mean not that I'm thinking of dragging my son into my turian-obsessed shenanigans or anything. I'm just curious...

*dusts off sewing kit, measures head of sleeping child*

Squee!  That's adorable. Ahem, then I don't feel bad about mentioning how I'm stealing an idea for a certain loyalty-armor based hoodie for a certain toddler boy in my household....and for good measure (and sibling balance), I'm figuring out how to do a Tali hoodie for my turian-admiring preschool girl. There's nothing like taking squadmate direction from a child. "No! Take Grunt! He's Garrus' friend!" or "Take the blue lady!" (Don't worry all your heads, I don't play ME all day, or let my kids watch the really violent/sexy bits, etc.)

I think the turian hat would work as long as you used some cardboard or maybe a plastic 'mold' (like from a milk jug). My SIL knits and uses stuff like that for hat brims; the idea should carry over.

Also, Jacob: Man has NO ass. (Or, as we say about my daughter, a 'non-butt'). I cannot make myself be attracted to a human man with a flat space where an ass should be. Turians...well they;re supposed to be like that.

A little late to the party, but: Eeee! Tiny Tali/Garrus hoodies and turian hats, oh my! Soooo cute.  I want tiny people to sew for : (

I guess I wasn't the only one inspired by siltsonata to dust off the old sewing machine.  I'm working on a Tali inspired hoodie with removable gold fleece neckwarmer
Her suit design lends itself quite well to a jacket I think.  Currently a work in progress.  Considering sharing with the Tali thread, but I'm a little scared to venture in.

So, Garrus.
@ enormousmoonboots--I added screens of the post Saleon mission dialogue to the Garrus album.  I'm not sure if that was what you wanted since the dialogue varies paragon to renegade. For what it's worth, they're in there.
*snerk*

Screwing around with photoshop

Also: Garrus.  And...I'm done.
Carry on with previously scheduled Thane discussion /skulks back into the shadows.

Let's be honest: always you feel like watching Die Hard. Come on, it's freaking Die Hard.

Actually can I call back to several thread pages ago and have that be the first movie Shep and Garrus watch together, please? Just so Garrus (impressed by Bruce Willis' awesomeness) will spend the bulk of the subsequent battles shouting "Yippee Ki Yay mutherfugger" as he blasts those mercs away! 

Brandon Keener needs to record that line.


Edit: @ Ray Joel Oh. Die Hard as a metephor for Garrus? You sir, are my hero.
