My custom Shepard from my first full playthrough of Mass Effect!
She has the colonist backstory, which ended up pairing up in a really interesting way with the events on Torfan and really made her fun to role-playing as while I was playing the series.
My only regret is that playing with such a high renegade score meant that I couldn't romance Samara 😭
But that's OK, she found love in the arms of a certain Turian instead 🥰
I stand incredibly corrected and will be correcting my mistake by posting Outer Worlds content for my sins!
This is about to consume my life again, alas I will never be free
I know that The Outer Worlds fandom is basically dead in the water. Not that it was ever super big to begin with. BUT I am still absolutely so unhinged about this game????? I've played it over 15 times. It's too short. Spending any more time on it would be too long. You're introduction to the game is (spoilers) Landing on top of the guy who's supposed to help you like Dorothy in the wizard of OZ??!!! Absolutely fucking wild.
I am once again filled with sadness and I might implode in this cold office cubicle if I don't let it out immediately.
Solomon x MC and this quote. That's it.
Solomon who will go to unnecessary and ridiculous lengths to have you close to him, to show his affection, to have just a minute of your time even though it's probably wasted on him and you have better people to be with.
In a world which has labelled him as a demon, you are the sole reminder of his humanity. A reminder that he's not alone.
You are his favourite apprentice because you remind him of everything that is good about humans and why he spent his whole life protecting them. You make his purpose worth it.
And MC who acts as the best friend he never had, who tends to his inner child so desperately in need of healing, who holds him on his worst nights to show him he's no longer alone.
MC who was the catalyst that showed him that the demons he regarded as contracts could be potential friends too. MC who looks after him and willingly agrees to help him protect the world.

Underrated detail in Strange Magic is how Bog’s ‘villainy’—imprisoning Sugar Plum, destroying the primroses—is actually pretty reasonable in the context that the Sugar Plum Fairy won’t stop making what amounts to mind-control potions for anyone who asks.
