#captain on deck

Hello, Pathfinders! So I'm here as the lucky one who gets to kick off the first of many fun appreciation weeks, the brainchild of @omegastation​, centered around Mass Effect: Andromeda. This first one is general to get things going, so from MAY 1ST TO MAY 7TH we're encouraging you to celebrate everything you loved about the game that isn't necessarily character specific. While totally optional, some suggestions for posts you can make are:

Favorite missions

Favorite locations

Moments that made you laugh

Moments that made you cry

Toughest decisions

Tempest appreciation

Anything that may not fit the other weeks!

The guidelines for participating are simple:

No hate or bashing

Tag your posts #meapartyweek

Share and chat amongst each other!

Please refrain from putting criticism or negativity in the tag!

We will be tracking the tag and reblogging the posts here at heleusdaily throughout the week (likely beyond, too). Our ask box is also open for discussion and requests! Even after the party ends, stay tuned for the following festivities which up next will be Ryder Appreciation Week (May 8 to May 14) over at @everythingryder!

You’re all awesome and I’d jump into a gravity well with you anytime. 

If anyone has suggestions of how we can celebrate when we potentially reach 500, I am open to ideas!

So I was pulled away from tumblr most of the day but I came back not long ago and now have the biggest smile on my face looking through everything in the #meapartyweek tag! I want to give a formal THANK YOU to @pathfindersemail for putting together a meme that I’ve seen so many of you fill out so wonderfully in the tag. 

If you haven’t seen it yet or been tagged to participate, consider this your tag right now! The meme is as follows (again, not by me but by pathfindersemail!):

Rules: Answer the questions and tag 10 people. [Optional: post any MEA screenshot you’d like to share!]

What is your favorite scene in MEA? What is your favorite quest? What is your favorite weapon? What is your favorite armor? What is your favorite power ability? What is your favorite planet? What is your favorite addition to MEA that wasn’t in the original trilogy? Who is your favorite non-romanced (one you didn’t romanced but could be) character? (can be NPC or squadmate) Favorite squad/party combo? Favorite non-bipedal animal on Andromeda? What surprised you most when you first played MEA? What is your favorite quote?

I love that you guys have all been interacting and tagging one another with this, please feel free to continue throughout the week if you want! I also have an idea for another interactive bit of fun that I’ll likely post tomorrow. 

This is late because my weekends always get away from me but I just wanted to thank everyone who participated in our appreciation week these past seven days! It genuinely made me so happy to see all those memes, edits and things filling up the meapartyweek tag and especially to see everyone sharing with one another! I love when positivity gets a chance to shine in a fandom.

I hope you’re all ready for Ryder Appreciation Week now starting over at @everythingryder - give them a follow! I’ll also be checking the #ryderappreciation tag to try and reblog any edits or gifs of your wonderful Ryders here. Have fun, Pathfinders!
