Current Feelings

I really needed to get these off my chest. Here are my thoughts for the past week and a half.

Mass Effect 3 through GIFs

Because of reasons. Like them not knowing why we want a rewritten ending, not a clarified one. And GIFs work magic. So with a copious amount of moving pictures and David Tennant, here is how I felt playing through Mass Effect 3.

Splintered Legend #1

Huh. This was supposed to publish Wednesday. Stupid thing.


This is the first chapter of my original space-opera work.

Just some random fanfiction.

I decided, with all the craziness that's occurring in my life this week, I'm going to post random tidbits of my upcoming Doctor Who/Mass Effect 3 crossover, Infinite Requiem or Splintered Legend. These are all first drafts, but first drafts I'm happy about. 

Culture, the Cipher, and Mass Effect 3

So, the problem with me working on fanfiction is that sometimes I think too much.
Because my original is not cooperating right now, I've been at work on my Doctor Who/Mass Effect 3 crossover. The general gist is that, post-Midnight, the Doctor and Donna land on Mars. Cerberus takes the Tardis, which means they have to catch a ride with Shepard.
What happened last night was I'd written up to Eden Prime. By 'up to,' I mean that they're currently starting to wake up Javik.

Then the anthropologist in me got like this:

For the Lolz

This is my commentary following completing Mass Effect 3 for the second time (playing all the way through the end).
Some of it is inflammatory. All nasty words that I don't like to post have been changed to "fish." I mean no offense to the individuals mentioned herein, promise. It's just ... well, you should have made a better ending.
This is the finish of the game for my infiltrator Shepard, Adelaide, who romanced Kaidan in ME1 and Garrus in ME2, then stayed loyal to Garrus. This started as a legitimate question track, for tomorrow, and then just devolved into insanity. Sort of like the game.

Lovingly accompanied by my new obsession, GIFs. Because I now know they don't stop moving when I save them to my desktop. :) Most of them are related to David Tennant, which is ... not a coincidence. This was all written during the game and while watching the credits roll.

@masseffect blocked me for no reason, so...

Does the end of Mass Effect 3 (likely unintentionally) condone genocide?

Firstly, as a side note, the term “genocide” was coined post World War II by a Jew attempting to get the Genocide Convention passed. It was coined not only because of the Holocaust/Nazi Genocides, but because of the Armenian genocide during World War I. “Geno” is Greek for “race or tribe,” while “cide” is Latin for kill – thereby literally “the killing of a race or tribe.” Lempkin wanted it to also reflect cultural annihilation – so the destruction of a race or tribe’s culture, even if they weren’t outright killed.
