Your water bottle may not be a queer top tier special ops soldier in space, but it sure doesn't hurt in these hot times. #hydrate #MassEffect #CommanderShepardTheWaterBottle
VynilTali was too fascinated by the idea and stared a bit too long for her own good... Or maybe it's better this way. Maybe she's happier. What do you think?
Thanks to the support of [Anon] there has been an outbreak of watching on the Normandy! High ranking enlisted and officers have been cautioned to avoid isolated areas.
So, #MassEffect . There's a good chance that I might catch flak for this, but the Asari have done the opposite of growing on me. Like, drop to absolute villain status of the galaxy, on the level of them as a whole as a political power, and personally.
So you've got this uplifted by the Protheans species left with a huge archive. They ride the coattails of that as most advanced species of the cycle, and hide their Prothean origin knowledge - against the law that they themselves imposed. Then, when shit hits the fan with the Reapers, do they step up? No, they step back. Even behind the Salarians. They won't even attend the war council on the Normandy, "nah, we're fine". Only when the Reapers move in on their homeworld, they go "ah, Shepard, we might have something you might want to know..." The death toll they imposed on the galaxy that way is easily trillions. They probably thought the other races can duke it out, and they emerge in an even stronger position.
Let's look at the Asari representative on the Council. Tevos in the first game, down the line it doesn't matter, because the replacement is basically an identical drop-in. She's sneaky the biggest drag on any action. Of course, the Turian is an abrasive ass, and the Salarian an arrogant cloaca, but it is Tevos who quietly hamstrings any action against Saren. Even making Shepard Spectre is delaying action, because sending Shepard alone spares the Council actual action, like sending experienced Council operatives, or even a fleet. That's why Shepard ends up Spectre - because it's what prevents the Council from taking action. That's the Asari MO - advancing their own interest, while keeping the group project mired in inaction. Because Tevos (or the drop-in replacement) can solve things quickly and efficiently - like when C-Sec wants Aria T'Loak to go through proper channels for her stay on the Citadel, and a call solves that on the spot.
Aria might actually be one of the few Asari I like. Yes, she's a baddy badass, a pirate queen, a crime lord, the de facto ruler of the worst hive of scum and villainy, and unabashedly classist. But one thing she is not is dishonest. She is absolutely clear about her all overruling profit motive, and a deal with her is a deal, is a deal, is a deal, and honored diligently.
Which brings me to Liara. The romance option that is pushed so hard into your arms in the first game that it hurts. You have to basically beat her off Shepard with a stick. As an Asari of 106, 109 by the third part, she's barely an adult, by human standards barely legal, and not particularly mature at that. Everyone over 25 playing should get intense ick about her as dating option. But that is not bad in itself, that's just her being young. To borrow a phrase from another questionable franchise, "The very young do not always do what they're told". Fine. If you did the romance, Mass Effect 2 is a letdown on that side, because short of practically strongarming her, she'll just use Shepard as an errand runner. Fine, as well.
The whole bare ass of that character shines in Mass Effect 3. Ardat-Yakshi monastery, her horror at the Banshees, the Reaper changed Asari. "What have they done, that was a living, breathing person!" Oh, really, Liara, every fucking Reaper creature that you had little to no qualms to pop a singularity in has been! The hundreds of husks and others have been living, breathing persons as well - just not Asari. When that makes all the difference, we call that racism.
When Thessia is invaded, the line "Next time we go to war, the Alliance could spring for air support" is another gem in that vein. By canon, the invasion of Earth was about half a year ago, the Alliance is scrambling to build a super weapon to save the whole galaxy, the Turians and Krogan are tapdancing on their non-existing tits to stem the tide, even the Salarians grudgingly parted with something towards the war effort, the Asari to that point did fuck all. They knew about the super weapon, that any Prothean knowledge might help, but only when they got under direct pressure, the Asari came forward that they might have something. The invasion of Thessia was wholly and completely avoidable, the tragedy could have been averted, if the Asari had joined in before, but now Liara is bellyaching about the lack of support when the whole galaxy is burning? That entitlement and racism becomes just too thick to bear.
Sometimes I understand Javik's jabs. But not for his smug superiority (a strange stance for someone who is out to perpetuate the advice that lost his species their war), but for the sheer disappointment that the Asari proved to be.

SilverGM@ami_angelwings #FAvCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterS There's some strong competition, but I have to give this to my very first fictional character crush, Commander Shepard from #MassEffect (I count it because her first name is never defined). Compassionate (if Paragon), charismatic, *and* can kick my ass? And damn do I love a woman in armour. If I was Liara, I'd be utterly smitten too. (I just wish I could stand Mass Effect 2)
