life is short

So I showed deepsix a gif of a tiny robot on a tiny bicycle. And then thissugarcane was like, "LEGION ON A BIKE" and yeah. SORRY NOT SORRY.

(Sometime during the Citadel DLC. I swear I heard Shepard refer to Legion as "he" during an argument with the quarians before Priority: Rannoch but icbw!)

I think I might be starting to hit the wall in terms of acceptable fic. ( cut for blithering and turian pon'farr )

I now know that Turians have 27 layers of citizenship in their hierarchy and their military infrastructure is indistinguishable from their civic. And that Drell venom, despite being hallucinogenic, is mild enough to be served in mixed drinks. I still have no idea how the important stuff works.

In conclusion:



(if I were more ambitious I would probably paste dudeShep and Joker's heads on Bones and Kirk but this entry has gotten silly enough already.)

 A thing I wrote! It is not the other thing I wrote! Writing two things is exciting!

Everything comes back to Sandman, apparently.

I am full of fannish feels!

I watched Iron Man 3 yesterday and without spoilers, I can say that it was really fun (at least as much as the original), Pepper is badass, and it was much smarter than I was expecting. You should absolutely stay for the bonus scene at the end.

I also finished Mass Effect 2, and totally stressed myself out because I was trying to keep everybody alive during the suicide mission. (You don't understand how much I get attached to fictional characters DON'T JUDGE ME K?) On normal difficulty it isn't that terrible and as long as you pay attention to the in-game cues you should be able to pick the right type of person for the job. (I also love how the Wikia walkthrough talks you down from various places where you might see things and freak out, because I would totally do that).

But yes. I wish I could impress upon you how much I adore this series. There is so much love and detail and lore and character development put into this universe and I do not understand people who play the games and don't become irrevocably and deeply attached to it. Now if you will excuse me, I need to READ ALL THE FIC.

( Mass Effect bibble )
Also you should totally listen to the new Florence + the Machine song. It's awesome. And the only Mass Effect mix I have ever found that does not suck. 

I don't know what to do with my afternoon/early evening. I guess I could play Mass Effect, but I'm at a point in the game where I have to make a choice I don't really want to make, or I've made the choice already but I'm not ready to go through it yet. ( Spoiler-ish, I guess? )

Also I am having issues clearing out Geth hordes and I keep dying a lot. Maybe I'll just write fic about how this picture came to be and how dude!Shep deals with celebrity, fanart, and unauthorized VIs of himself.

I appear to have read all the Mass Effect fic on AO3. I REGRET NOTHING Um, oops? Is there any other stuff housed somewhere else worth reading?

(I still do not know what it is with Bioware fangirls and their proclivity for using "mewling" as a sexy adjective but I really wish it would stop. D:)

The amount of femShep/Joker was surprising and slightly perplexing. I also now know way too much about Turian biology, or speculations upon it.

So how have you been?
