N7 Confessions

"For some reason, I can't imagine the Illusive Man or Kai Leng sleeping. Ever."

"Am I the only one who got some seriously creepy vibes from the whole “wanting a perfect daughter who happens to have perfect tits, only 100% dad’s DNA” from the Lawsons? We know Henry’s a terrible guy, but damn…"

"I figured ME3's default FemShep would look better once she started talking, etc. Oh dear lord, was I ever wrong. Burn it. BURN IT WITH A M-920 CAIN."

"I like Ashley Williams precisely because she’s a “space racist”, as part of the fandom are quick to call her. In this media it’s very rare still to see characters with real flaws - Ash’s xenophobia is a very real and deep flaw, which she never fully overcomes. Despite that, she’s an exemplary soldier and a loyal friend. She’s dear to me."

"Those elevator waits in ME1 were probably the most awkward things ever. I wonder how much collective time you spend just standing awkwardly in an elevator throughout the game..."

"I can never unsee that ME3 Harbinger's 'eyes' look like a smiley face."

"I’m glad to know grieving for months and then suddenly jumping into bed with the first person who offers emotional support is supposed to be good, non-homophobic writing. Thanks, Mass Effect fandom."

"On ME1, I managed to save Wrex, but then I was curious and reloaded prior to saving him, to see what it was like when he died. I ended up accidentally saving his death instead of reloading. When I got Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, I realized I could say Wrex lived, but I told myself to be stick to what happened. I thought nothing of it, until a second playthrough where Wrex lived. My heart broke for my first Shepard. That, "Shepard! My friend!" would have been everything to her."

As you can see, this blog is slowly getting back on track! I just posted a few confessions, and I'll make a queue out of the others as I make them so I don't flood all your dashboards. I will also tag posts like these with 'text post', so you can filter that out if you don't really care. If there is anything you guys like or don't like about the confessions, let me know on my main blog! Once I get through all the confessions sitting in the inbox, I will open it up for new submissions in the weekends. Thanks for your patience!

"Sometimes I wonder what Kai Leng’s favorite cereal is."

"In ME2 I thought Thane Krios was a ridiculous character, with his memory flashbacks sounding like they were written by an angsty 15-yrs old, but in the 3rd part his story became genuinely moving. He spent his last months well and went out like a boss."

"I think Samara's oath of allegiance is the most exciting recruitment scene in ME2. (or it's just my wish for world domination)"

"To me, it seems like Liara has anxiety disorder. Watching her slowly overcome it throughout the series and the comics is inspiring me to overcome mine, too."

"I cried the entire way, Shepard walking her way to her death. I knew she was mentally saying good-bye to Garrus, her boyfriend, who ordered her to survive.  I’m sorry Garrus. I’m so sorry"

"I often wonder what kind of hysterical banter goes on during those Mako drives in ME1. I imagine that everyone would be flailing all over the place as Shepard drives all over a planet’s surface wildly, screaming at Shepard. Especially if your squad consists of Wrex and Ashley. Hahaha"

"My friend considers strange one thing: I hate Cerberus but I love the Illusive man. He has never listened to me, but the explanation is so simple. I can freely love TIM and hate Cerberus because Cerberus is not people. It’s just an idea"

"I get a bit terrified a little whenever I watch Thane revisit his old life through his memories. Just that the sudden changes of face shots (especially his eyes) tend to spell "Threatening" rather than "Interesting" or "Intriguing"
