#shalibrations

Look here, I ADORE Shalibrations so much let us never forget this iconic moment in game:

Shep and Tali, having an enthusiastic discussion about "the film", which they both claim to have seen recently and enjoyed. Tali is treating Shep to an indepth nerdy analysis of backstory and character development, which seems to puzzle Shep. Shep keeps bringing up lines she found funny, which Tali doesn't remember hearing. Both are silently thinking girl, did we watch the same vid???

To Joker, loitering nearby making himself a coffee, it becomes increasingly clear that they are talking about two different vids, both of which he has watched (for Ripping The Piss Out Of Garrus purposes, obviously)

Tali thinks they're talking about Archangel (2189), the human-made Marvel-esque movie by a big-budget studio, starring big-name actors - the turian who played Bellicus in Fleet & Flotilla and the hot asari from that movie Vaenia - in a fast-paced action-packed story about hope and justice and forbidden love. The one she went to see with Traynor, with the ending that made her cry.

But Shep, bless her filthy little heart, thinks they're talking about Archangel (2189), the cheesy low-budget porn parody produced by an indie studio on Omega, full of terrible jokes about projectiles and rockets and finishing three guys with one round, starring some long-fringed narrow-waisted well-endowed turian who is, in fairness, having the time of his life with that role, and a 98%-fake human woman in a terrible red wig and highly battlefield-inappropriate N7 armour. The one she's been quoting back and forth with Garrus all week, trying to make each other crease up or cringe at inconvenient times.

Anyways here is my Shepard and a quick look at who I ship her with along with a height chart for the ship :D

Charlotte “Lottie” Shepard is Colonist/Butcher of Torfan background and a Vanguard who gives Garrus anxiety when she Charges into the middle of the battlefield, especially when Tali follows with her drones.

I set this in 2189, during/right after the Citadel DLC and they live in Shepard’s apartment on the Citadel whenever they aren’t aboard the Normandy.

Shepard has a brother-in-law that took custody of her after the raid on Mindoir and he works in C-SEC now. She had a large family on Mindoir and two of her siblings also survived the raid but they were captured by the slavers. Despite the clone trying to steal her ship and her identity, she couldn’t help seeing her siblings in the clone and mourned the (supposed) death of the clone.

none of them are paying attention to the mario kart are they :/

I took part in the Priority: Discord Secret Santa and ended up getting @bluerose5! She wanted Game Night With The Boys so I have given her Game Night With The Boys.

Actually kind of a couple days late to posting this when I should have, but oh well. Here she is now.

...

When Chakwas told Jane to get some rest after that last fight, Jane didn't think that she meant for her to have a slumber party in the med bay, but it didn't take long at all before Tali and Garrus found themselves at her side.

They arrived with snacks and movies at the ready.

Together, they managed to squish their way onto one of the exam tables, not an inch of space left between them.

They were a tangle of limbs, radiating warmth that filled Jane with a sense of contentment unlike any other. It felt right to be there between them, loved and cared for.

She felt like she belonged.

While they laughed and snorted at whatever cheesy romcom had been chosen, Jane basked in the safety and security of their embrace. She gave them each a brief nuzzle, one to Garrus's mandible and one to Tali's helmet.

Both of them beamed at her in return.
