the krasty krab

I have so incredibly many headcanons for these two post-destroy ending, most of them around the immediate aftermath. they get drafted into a biotics team that’s sent straight up to the citadel to clear the rubble and re-establish galactic communication, but they have a silent agreement with hackett that their real mission is to dig through to find shepard. 

both of these are after finding her - in the first one, neither of their outfits actually belong to them; miranda’s in the medical jumpsuit from huerta that she borrowed to wear whilst treating shep; jack’s wearing shep’s alliance shirt and tracksuit bottoms nicked from anderson’s apartment. 

Once i found out their height gap was 8 inches i realize the top of her head really just reaches below his nose or his chin. I knew she makes a great chinrest

child of a WW2 vet

traumatized vietnam war vet who was called "the iceman"

had a poly relationship with two women where "they had been friends before" and it's implied he got not a lot of say

went to the citadel

got a degree in nuclear engineering

married his editor who a) was a female sci-fi editor in the 1970s and b) was also responsible for Ender's Game

started writing sci-fi because he was injured and got fed up with the writing of other authors

AAAAAAA

But I do have Mai!!

I’ve always loved the idea of mai being apart of the Yuyan archers, all the fanfics I’ve read are amazing pls keep them going if you write them

That’s why I gave her a bow, and if you look closely, the little ribs at the bottom of her skirt are the arrows. They are attached to a thicker cloth, not exactly as dense as metal but something like it I guess, I was thinking metal but the idea I have for toph wouldn’t work in the story.

Mai still keeps her throwing knives, and will likely have more weapons in her arsenal if I can think of a good one. Originally I wanted to give her a Morningstar instead of a bow, which probably would’ve been so fucking sick I’ll have to do it in another canon divergence, but it would’ve been really heavy :/

The clothes are supposed to be flowy but also pretty deceiving to her silhouette, similar to how I imagine in the canon

I also gave her armor!! Although it’s just a chest plate, Mai moves around like a ton so I didn’t want to give her anything. Too heavy,, she does also have shin guards I just didn’t make it very apparent

Mai does get to keep her bridge piercing bc it’s so cool. She does however lose her earring privileges. Deciding if it should be metal or bone. Let me know

She has a pouch for more (smaller) weaponry, as well as a container for her throwing knives kept on her sash

Also you’ll notice she looks taller in the second one, this is because she’s hunched over in the first pose lmao
