We ARE well behaved, and SUPER awesome. I <3 you crazy sane people.

Thanks much, love this rendition of him.


I applaud all the Renegades. Paragon T.I.M. up there looks pretty angry. And, really, who'd want to do a thing like that. I'd be amused if those eyes started shooting lasers. :P



In other news, lulz, at T.I.M.my death thread.

Now that you mention it... his eyes do look like they can shoot lasers. xD I'm glad my main Shepard made the Renegade decision at the end. (She's technically a Paragade, but she likes TIM for bringing her back to life and telling Miranda not to put a control ship in her brain.)

The Shepard in my next playthrough will get to see the Paragon ending. o_o; Poor guy.

I can hear T.I.M.'s cries of defeat in the distance now. Poor guy indeed. :P



Also, *laughs* a person by the name of Night came up with the term "Illusive League," had a nice ring to it.

And the thought of TIM chasing him down will slowly drive him (even more) crazy. It'll be interesting to see how ME3 plays out for him, because I didn't expect this.



"Ilusive League" sounds like a good name for a group of TIM-supporting Shepards. xD I have one Shepard who could be the leader of his fan club.

TIM: *activates hologram* Shepard.

Shepard: Illusive Man! :D *attempts a running-hug-jump at the hologram and falls through*

TIM: Shepard! O_O ...Are you alright?

Well, Van certainly did it now. T.I.M. has assumed direct control.

lol. I don't know if they did it intentionally or not, but Martin Sheen does look like TIM.



So any serious guesses as to how TIM may have come about such...captivating eyes?

Yes, it's intentional. Same with the other characters who were modeled off their VAs, such as Miranda.
Honestly, I have no idea how he came by those eyes. He doesn't seem to have any scarring around them (though cosmetic surgery probably would have fixed that), so I doubt they're there because of trauma. My best guess is that he voluntarily had his eyes implanted with cybernetics because it would serve the goal of 'advancing' a human being- they have ticks around the iris like the millimeter marks on a telescope or high-powered camera lens; perhaps they give him superior eyesight.
Or let him see through those layers of N7 armor. >.>

You ever know how TIM seems to love tilting his head to one side?
I wonder if he does it on purpose, thinking it makes him look more photogenic (it does).
You know, at one point I was having a conversation with a friend of mine on DA, and somehow the question of 'What happens if he tilts his head over too far? Will he fall out of his chair?' came up.
Some day, my friends, I must draw this.
SOME DAY.

I can see it now. >D

TIM: *takes a drag on his cigarette* Shepard. Welcome back.
*headtilt* Did you get the Reape- AUGH!
*WHUD*

Shepard: O.O

TIM: ....

Shepard: *claps hand over mouth*

TIM: ...Don't you say a WORD.

Yeah, I think his eyes have been 'cybernetically enhanced'. It would be amazing if he could have x-ray vision, but it might be strange to see like that all the time. (Or maybe, if he has really fancy robot eyes, he'd be able to turn the x-ray vision on and off. Three dots in his eyes for three different 'vision settings'? That mental image is both cool and kind of creepy at the same time - the iris turning and making whirring sounds like a robot. O_O)



I did notice that TIM tilts his head a lot... He totally does it on purpose. xD You should draw it. Now I imagine TIM falling out of his chair because he's trying to get a better view with his x-ray vision.

*coughcough* It's "Snarky Body Linguist Copy Pasta" time! :D (Totally not serious F.Y.I.. Stop giving me ammunition. :P)



"Tilting the head sideways can be a sign of interest, which may be in what is said or happening. It can also be a flirting signal as it says 'I am interested in you!'" - If Shep!T.I.M. shippers have their way. I bet you do.



"Tilting can similarly indicate curiosity, uncertainty or query, particularly if the head is pushed forward, as if the person was trying to look at the subject in a different way in the hope of seeing something new. The greater the tilt, the greater the uncertainty or the greater the intent to send this signal.' - *dingdingding* I think we have a winner!



"A tilted head pulled back tends to indicate suspicion, as the uncertainty of the tilt is combined with a defensive pulling back." - *shifty eyes*



"The tilted head exposes the carotid artery on the side of the neck and may be a sign of submission and feelings of vulnerability." - ... Nahhhhh.



"If the head is propped up by the hand, it may be tiredness or an expectation of continued interest ('This is so interesting!')." - Or he's spying on Shepard AGAIN. *shakes head*

What do you make of this then? ^_^

He's saying with his crazy ~ head-tilting-actio~on! ~ - "I wonder how I shall take over the world universe today. Must have a sidekick. Maybe a cat... like that Bond villain guy... that was awesome. Or~ a three headed verran! Ohmahgawd that would be so cool it goes with Cerberus. :D"

Oh... wait. I meant, he's showing continued interest in that cigarette... er... Shepard off to the side of that screen.

(Yeah, I just got back from two tests at college and this is terrible TERRIBLE commentary. Ah well. :P)

Awesome. xD Now I want to re-watch all of TIM's scenes to analyze his head-tilting. I think I'll try to find them on youtube.

Shepard: *hopes for option number one*

In all honesty, I'm going to say that these are probably the two likeliest interpretations (depending on the context) of aforementioned headtilt.
Because let's face it, the day the Illusive Man shows 'submission and vulnerability' to anyone is the day that Haestrom's sun turns out to be a giant, candy-filled pinata. And all the Reapers abandon their plans, link hands (er, tentacles), and dance a merry jig around the Citadel.

I'd be glad to loan him Urz- though sadly, Urz does not have three heads.
...

Yet.

MUAHAHAHA. *thunderclap*


I'm sorry; it's the mad scientist in me. Can't be helped.

I'm having trouble finding all the vids, but he really tilts his head when he first meets Shepard... and I think he's looking down at his cigarrete and fooling with it after Shepard says she noticed a few "upgrades". xD One of the head-tilts was almost definitely just an interest in the conversation though (he was talking about finding the dead Reaper, I think).

...My TIM-fangirl Shepard was too distracted by his awesomeness to offer to mutate a varren into a three-headed Cerberus beast for him? Get with the program, Shepard! xD



The thought of the Reapers holding "hands" and dancing around the Citadel is hilarious. (And then they form a giant collective dark energy blast to destroy it. The Council will never suspect such a thing from dancing Reapers.)

Ha, I'd probably have something witty to say (or intelligent... nah), but, I miss gambling right now so NO. Just no. :P (That and I'm tired and lazy. *sniffles*)

SO to be on topic, T.I.M. likes delicious cake. Don't deny.

Well, really, who doesn't like delicious cake?
Pff. Not liking cake. That's crazy talk, Lambda.
Crazy. ಠ_ಠ

On topic, I too would be posting here more often but life -as it so often does- seems to have caught up with me. ;3;
Woe. And shame. 
Also I am waiting impatiently for Retribution to come out, so that I can be torn between feeling sympathy for Paul Grayson... and wanting to point at him and laugh. >:D

By the way, has anyone noticed that T.I.M. is absolutely terrifying when he grins at you?
I mean, I'm glad you're pleased and all, but please. For the love of everything. Stop.

lol Hey Lambda. I don't want to be thrown into the sun...I'd rather sit and watch it with him while we plot galactic dominance.
Also...lol that smile...at least it's not as bad as this:
