Tag Time!

TAGGED BY: @the-shifty-cow ! Thank you kindly! (I meant to do this earlier but I just started another Mass Effect playthrough and I is distracted)

RULES: Answer 30 questions and tag ██ blogs you are contractually obligated to know.

TAGGING: @thxchampagne @cauldronfalls @spacejampire @haaska @rareastrees plus anyone else who wants to do it! (I’m sorry I have so many other people I’d like to tag but can’t think of at the top of my head!)

Nicknames: Rogue is the main one since it’s my alias on LITERALLY EVERYTHING. I also get called N7 a lot. My actual name isn’t the easiest to make nicknames for soooooooo

Gender/Pronouns: Male - he/him

Star Sign: Aries

Height: 6′2″ some people will say I’m 6′1″ or 6′1.5″ and those people are LIARS

Time: 11:32 PM (Eastern Standard Time)

Birthday: March 22

Favorite Bands: Lord off the top of my head Linkin Park (RIP Chester), Two Steps from Hell (technically Orchestra but close enough) Smallpools, Starset, Disturbed (video is kinda dark), Stuck in the Sound, and AC/DC. For things that aren’t technically bands (which I listen to more often tbh) there’s Drunk Girl (one of my all time favorites!), Hermitude, Hollywood Principle, Daft Punk, Destroid, Niklas Ahlström, C2C, and Shirk. There’s definitely more but good lord can I not remember them rn

//Imma put each name as a link to their best song (imo) in case ya wanna listen

Favorite Solo Artist: Literally the ONLY solo artist I follow and listen to on my own accord is James Durbin. Sure I listen to all the mainstream artists but he’s the only one where I actually buy his music and listen to him regularly.

Song Stuck in your head: I’m almost always “rapping” the first verse of Survival by Eminem (that song has picked me up out of some bad times more than once) but currently and almost always I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire by The Ink Spots is stuck in my head.

Last movie you watched: Pitch Perfect 3 which I may add was awesome and better than the second one

Last Show: My dude I have to many shows but the last one was 9-1-1

Why did you create you blog?: Buddy if I had an answer for you I’d be ecstatic but considering the clusterfuck of content I post ranging from mass effect to the stupidest shit posts in existence I would technically say that when I created this 4 years ago was simply for the spicy memes and funny ass text posts but then it more became a blog to keep with my fandoms and yada yada yada.

What do you post?: Well going off of ^^^ mostly Mass Effect, humor (shitposts are humor right?), occasional news or PSAs, space stuff, anything sci-fi really, Gregor the Overlander even tho this fandom is pretty much dead lmao, and really most video games especially like Bioware and Bethesda

Last thing you googled?: Baikal Rift Valley distance from upper mantle (I HAVE MY REASONS)

Other blogs: I have two other blogs on tumblr and no where else

AO3: Okay I didn’t even KNOW what AO3 was until like a few months ago and I’ve read like maybe two fanfictions in my life but I have written one piece for Mass Effect 3 (should be on here somewhere I think I posted it for N7 day) and a novel length one for The Underland Chronicles which I’m still writing.

Do you get asks?: Lol no

How did you get the idea for your URL?: Okay so...I’m honestly not sure. Ever since Spore came out I’ve loved the word Rogue. Don’t know why, I guess I liked the whole fight against the current lone wolf kinda thing and that’s pretty much what a “rogue” is. As for Kriger, well I also love mythology and history, specifically of Greek and Scandinavian/Norse origin and I believe if my memory serves me right Kriger translates to Warrior in Norwegian. I mean I’ve used this URL for years now so even if that’s wrong its whatever at this point

I follow: 449 blogs which honestly I’m pretty sure a good 80% are inactive if not more. Plus a few friends that...well...aren’t around anymore. For various reasons.

Followers: 419 but that numbers gonna drop because I just KNOW more than half of those are probably porn bots and when I finally gain the motivation imma block em

Average hours of sleep: When I don’t have class or many classes probably around 8 hours but if I have a lot of classes (like last spring) probably 5 to 6

Lucky number: 8, the vertical infinity sign

Instruments: I use to know a few songs on the guitar and piano but idk I never kept with it

What are you wearing?: Andromeda Initiative shirt and jeans! Plus my dog tag

Dream Job: Okay so it’s always been a cross between astronautical engineer for NASA (which is what I’m going to school for) and game developer. I’ve also played with the idea of founding my own engineering company but that’s like way off in the future

Dream Trip: I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland and/or Japan. But honestly a dream trip would be to some ancient ruins in some tropical location or one of those gorgeous nature trips like in the canyons in Zion. Or space, I REALLY wanna go to space. Yeah scratch the other stuff. I wanna go to space. Fuck yeah.

Favorite Food: Beef Carpaccio from Brio straight up. I fucking love it. I’d kill for it. I can’t get ENOUGH OF IT. Also sushi.

Significant Other?: HA. HAHA. HAHAHAHAHA. Oh man that’s funny. My dude my longest relationship was 3 months I would LOVE to have a name to put here but alas I am unlucky and not the most sociable.

Last book I read: Damn I wanna say it was The Underland Chronicles since I reread that at least like once every year but holy shit I can’t remember what was the last book I read. Fuck that’s depressing for some reason.

Top 3 fictional universes: Mass Effect, Fallout, The Underland Chronicles

20 Followers I’d like to know :)

I was tagged by the charming and wonderful @neenorroar ^_^ Who is an absolute darling and amazing writer! (go check out her work on Wattpad!)

1) Name/nickname: Briar/Mitz

2) Gender: Male

3) Star sign: Scorpio

4) Height: 5′5″

5) Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff

6) Favourite animal: Cat. I love all animals but hands down cat will always win.

7) Hours of sleep: on average? depends on the day/week/month but I think 5-6? probably more like 3-4. Me and sleeping aren’t great pals. I wish I liked it more but I have a tendency to have nightmares so I’m one of those “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” types. :/

8) Dogs or cats: CAT. Love my dog but CAT.

9) Number of blankets: ALL or NONE there is no inbetween. Actually that’s a lie. Unless it’s a warm day, I usually lurk under ‘my’ blanket which is a giant fuzzy red thing. Kinda a comfort thing. I batman around the house all day with it pretty much.

10) Dream trip: Hm... that’s a stumper. See, I’d love to travel but :/ .....I’m kinda not great with going outside. I’d say anywhere but.... Let’s just table that. Put it on the shelf. Stare at it. I’m good with that.

11) Dream job: Successful author. the successful part is important because I am, technically, an author already. -_- it doesn’t amount to much.

12) Time: Like right now? uh 4:46pm according to my computer. I cannot say if that is accurate or not.

13) Birthday: Maybe twenty, almost thirty years back.

14) Favorite Bands: I really don’t have any that I can point to and say ‘them’ right now but I listen to music 24/7

15) Favorite Solo Artists: ?

16) Song Stuck In My Head: We Have It All by Pim Stones

17) Last Movie I Watched: Big Eden

18) Last Show I Watched: Crossing Jordan

19) When Did I Create My Blog: uuuhm.... a while back. Like a long while. A really, really, really long while.

20) What Do I Post/Reblog: It’s random for this blog. Mostly game or fluff. I try to keep it positive here. A ‘safe space’ as it were.

21) Last Thing I Googled: ESO monster helm sets. (XD I guess ‘don’t ask’ could apply but for those of you interested I play eso on xbone. Working on a new build right now. *shrug*)

22) Other Blogs: I’ve got a few. Yes.

23) Do I Get Asks: Sometimes. Most of it’s just nasty messages. Hatemail. I pissed off the Kaidan fanbase a while back when I first got into mass effect and those dregs occasionally resurface like a bad drain clog that never really leaves.

24) Why I Choose My URL: It used to by Mitzyblue. (which one of these days the bot that took it will leave and I will take it back simply because I’m sentimental and selfish) which was my dancer/burlesque name. I changed it a while back when transitioning. Mitz-ter was a jock that my husband came up with.

25) Following: 176

26) Followers: 347

27) Lucky Number: Hm... 13? 42? 7? honestly, I don’t have a lucky number. I’m perpetually unlucky so, eh.

28) Favorite Instrument: Bass/Cello

29) What Am I Wearing: My batman tanktop (and a binder), N7 Jacket, and Deadpool Boxers. Oh and Fuzzy socks. Classy. I know. And because I’m cold It’s all hidden away under aforementioned red fuzzy blanket.

30) Favorite Food: good question. It changes. Often.

31) Nationality: Let’s not go there.

32) Favorite Song: Hm... good question. I’ll think on it. I keep finding new songs. There are so many good ones...

33) Last Book Read: ...Wish You Were Here by Rita May Brown

34) Top Three Fictional Universes I’d Like To Join: Hnnnnngh I wanna say mass effect and dragon age but I’d die like so super fast... uhm... star trek universe for sure. uuuhm... Chrestomanci universe? kinda... IDK. 35) Tattoos: (added via edit!) I’ve got two with more in the pipes!

Alrighto. I I’m gonna just tag willy nilly but take note that I’ve not had any coffee in a few days and my motor is going like that kid who accidentally leans out on the merry go round. Yall know the drill, no obligation but I want you to know I’m thinking of you and you’re all darling and I hope yall’re doing well.

@skadeskrieghund @mrwolfe1920 @jediserenity82 @mordinette @foofyschmoofer ( I think barbex has already been tagged...) @stitchcasual @threewhiskeylunch @pixelatrix @probably-a-synth @5isyphe And aeveryone else. All. *points* especially you. I hope you are well and having an okay day.

I keep seeing lots of people say that EK is everywhere in twd promotion right now. And I kind of lost? What’s has she been in except the season 8 talking dead?

Hi Hon! Yeah she’s had a TON of exposure lately. I asked my wonderful friend, @boltthrutheheart to put together a list for me. She’s who I go to for such things because she always keeps awesome records. Here’s the list of things that Emily has done/been in lately and some links to them. She didn’t include the S8 TTD, since we already know about that. And keep in mind these are only from mid-September to present. Not the entire summer. This is a lot!

KISS MAYHEM Three attacks by the US destroyers

KISS, US kings of heavy rock in heavy make-up, are at last to play three gigs in Britain next month.

Despite the transatlantic publicity they have so far made little impact on record here but their fourth UK album ‘Destroyer’ will be released on Casablanca to coincide.

The label also plan to back up the full frontal assault on the British market with giveaways at the concerts including arm bands and Kiss masks and a TV advertising campaign.

The dates are: Manchester Free Trade Hall May 13, Birmingham Odeon 14, Hammersmith Odeon 15. The band may use their own jet-liner on the tour.

‘UNOFFICIAL’ FLOYD A PINK FLOYD single taken from ‘Wish You Were Here’ is being released in this country in a special limited edition of 10,000.

It will be ‘Have A Cigar’ b/w ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and comes through an exclusive distribution deal arranged by Lightning Records with the Dutch company who originally released it.

The last of the official Floyd singles released in the UK was ‘Point Me At The Sky’ and they have recently again vetoed any further single releases here, though they put them out in every other record buying country, because of what they regard as the lightweight pop image of the charts here.

ALVIN, FAIRPORT IN FOOTBALL FEST BANK HOLIDAY Monday is now set to be the biggest day ever in live rock in the UK – another huge football ground festival probably starring Alvin Lee has been announced, coinciding with the Who and Co. putting the boot in at Charlton (see opposite page).

The Southend Charity Festival Committee say that contracts are expected to be signed this week for a line-up starring Alvin and Friends, Budgie, and the debut of the new Fairport Convention.

Support acts planned are The Dave Bromberg Band, Magna Carta, the Mickey Jupp Band and Crossbreed with our very own John Peel compering.

Confirmation came from the business end Alvin and the Fairports that they were likely to do the gig though it was still being negotiated – neither band’s line-up has yet been announced.

The Festival is run for the benefit of Christian Aid relief and development projects in the third world.

It starts at 11 am and runs through to 9pm at Southend United Football Ground. Tickets are now on sale from the ground in Victoria Avenue at £2 though they will be £2.50 on the day. Postal applicants should send an SAE with cheques and postal orders made out to ‘Southend Sounds ’76.’

SOME OF THESE KNIGHTS GLADYS KNIGHT And The Pips will tour Britain later this month doing two shows a night in five venues, her last visit for some time as she is pregnant.

The dates are: Bournemouth Winter Gardens April 23, Manchester Palace 24, Southport New Theatre 25, London New Victoria 27, Birmingham Odeon 30.

They will be bringing their own rhythm section and the tour coincides with the UK release of their States hit ‘Midnight Train To Georgia’.

Gladys is also starring in a movie titled ‘Pipedreams’ due for release in Britain in the autumn.

STILL NO TUBES Tubes’ record company A&M say that they cannot tour the UK in May as their new album ‘Young and Rich’ (produced by Ken Scott who worked on the Supertramp albums) will be released then and they will be touring the States to promote it.

But they have been trying to arrange a London venue to do a possible week of shows later in the year as well as provincial dates and A&M said they were “virtually certain” to come to Britain in ’76.

RECORD NEWS

JON DOES THE LOT Jon Anderson, who plays just occasional acoustic and percussion with Yes, has been a one-man band on his solo album ‘Olias Of Sunhillow’ released by Atlantic on May 7. He wrote the words and music and plays all instruments including keyboards and harp.

JOHNNY TAYLOR’S US number one hit ‘ Disco Lady’ has been rush released in the UK by Columbia. Taylor is a soul black veteran who first recorded in the 50s and had a string of hits on Stax during the past decade, including the classic ‘Who’s Making Love’. He joined Epic after the recent Stax collapse.

30 day #mearydercountdown

1 Day: Which song/songs would be “theme songs” for Ryder? Are there any symbols you associate with Ryder? If you’ve created a moodboard for them, share it here. If not, what sorts of things would be on their moodboard? Describe their aesthetic. What Hogwarts house would they be sorted into? If you’ve written fanfic involving Ryder already, share it here. [you don’t need to do all of these, they’re merely intended as creative exercises]

a song: follow me by muse.

his moodboard might contain a space image, alliance dogtags, a book/tech manual, space hamster, an omnitool, hockey gear, a flare of biotic energy, and a shotgun.

aesthetic: softened grey-scale minimalism with a few pops of color.

2 Days: Provide a “famous quote” from Ryder that sums them up as a character (like the ones for the squadmates in their official character profiles).

“I won’t sit idle while someone’s substandard plan gets us all killed, or worse: demoted.” - Scotty Ryder

3 Days: Do you plan on romancing anyone with Ryder? If so, who? Why? What qualities would Ryder find attractive in a partner (if applicable)?

this all depends on the personality of the romance/flirt options are like and where they come along in the storyline. i have picked a romance on a first playthrough just for the sake of the experience/achievement but i am only going to do so if it feels right for Scotty this time around.

Scotty would be interested in someone who was a thinker, but also a listener. a good sense of humor and an easy going nature would be important, as well as some spontaneity. he is a sucker for pretty eyes and shy flirters and he likes holding hands. he’s kinda a soft romantic boy.

4 Days: Out of the squadmates, Tempest crewmembers and other characters shown so far, is there anyone you think Ryder won’t gel so greatly with, dislike or otherwise come into conflict with? Why?

5 Days: Out of the squadmates, Tempest crewmembers and other characters shown so far, who do you think Ryder will get along well with? Who do you think they will get along best with? Why?

i have tried my best not to be too spoiled so while i know of my squad and crew, i don’t have many details about their personalities or backgrounds. from the little i do know/have guessed or assumed, i want him to befriend liam because liam and i want drack to almost take him under his wing once scotty shows a slightly reckless reaction after getting caught up in the moment, possibly after riding in the nomad since Scotty drives like a maniac (you’d almost expect that Shep was his driving instructor). he would respect peebee’s ability to ignore the norms but not sure they are going to be best buds or lovers, but who knows, she might surprise us.

6 Days: Does your Ryder know your Shepard? What do they think of Shepard? Would they get along? What would Shepard think of Ryder?

no, they do not actually know each other, but Scotty would know of Shep, possibly have seen her in passing on the citadel or at alliance hq or some N7 function his father attended. i think they would get along, both being team players. i still have yet to decide which specific Shepard (as i have several, like everyone) is my canon Shepard for Scotty’s playthrough. I am leaning towards my very first Shep, Juliette, just for the sake of 1st with 1st. She would see the true potential Scotty has and that he will achieve it if he gets out of his own head in Andromeda and starts fresh, no chip on his shoulder. She would trust him to have her back in a fight (eventually, as hes still pretty fresh and shes a true veteran and a little crazy yet, not sure he could keep up) and would value his input and insight on situations and strategy (again, once he proved himself once or twice to be standup but she unlike most would give him the chance).

7 Days: Ryder’s father gave the twins informal N7 training in the past. How did Ryder feel about this (pressured, resentful, grateful, motivated, overworked, excited, etc)? What are their feelings on “N7” as a symbol? How do they relate to it, if at all?

scotty was excited to be trained by his father not only because he knew such training from a man with his father’s status and credentials was invaluable, but because it meant quality father/son time. the training was rigorious and scotty did feel his dad was pushing for him to meet impossible standards but he usually just commiserated with his sister over the physical aspects of the training. sara was always more about the practical/scientific/mental focus training lessons.

8 Days: How does Ryder feel about aliens? Are they uncomfortable, wary, intrigued, curious, intimidated, not bothered, etc? In the Milky Way, where did they stand on humanity’s place in galactic society - Earth first, Terra Firma, human superiority, peaceful cooperation, pro-galactic integration & unity, etc? How will they feel upon discovering that there are sentient alien races in Andromeda?

the twins are very much for peaceful cooperation, galactic integration, and unity among the milky way species. they are both curious about any new species they will encounter. sara would much rather be a sideline observer to study and research the new races while scotty would like to be more involved, get to know them, create alliances, work together to better all races in andromeda.

9 Days: Did Ryder have any notable friends or connections in the Milky Way? How about past relationships? Which friendship or relationship was the most significant to them?

he might miss a friend that has been with him since they met as alliance recruits and possibly a few of his crewmates from his last deployment, but since sara will be with him, that is all that really matters. she is his person. any past romantic intrests are no longer on his radar to begin with so they will not be missed. Mom Ryder would be missed if she elected to stay in the milky way.

10 Days: Will Ryder ever miss the Milky Way? What things and places will they miss most?

if mom is not involved on the initiative and stays in the milky way (or died at some point and is laid to rest there) that is who he would miss, and the only reason he might ever want to return. if he does not find romance in andromeda, he might long for the comforts of his home galaxy and chance for finding a familiar partner with more variety than those who joined up with the AI.

11 Days: Once in Andromeda, what are Ryder’s goals? What drives them?

i think this depends more on exactly what is happening in the storyline. he is going to want to help fix any immediate problems that he feels need to be addressed and then will want to get back on task with the original mission plan and find/secure a new world. he just wants to do his job.

12 Days: How will Ryder feel upon waking up from cryo? Relieved, excited, scared, impatient to get going, lost, etc.

mostly excited. thankful that they survived such a process and long journey. i can picture him heading directly for the nearest window as soon as possible just to glimpse the new galaxy, staring in wonder for a minute or two, then quickly going to find (and hug) his sister, then father.

13 Days: Why did Ryder join the Alliance military? Later on, what were Ryder’s reasons for signing up to the Andromeda Initiative? Were they seeking adventure (or glory, or a challenge), wanting a new start, running from something, following their family, trying to secure a future for humanity, did they simply feel railroaded into it, etc.

joining the alliance was expected of the twins. they had talent, skills, and great potential that needed to be put to service in the military, for humanity, the galaxy. attempts to make dad proud, fill his shoes. signing on with the initiative was scotty’s chance to finally stay with his father on one of his great adventures. he thought he might have a better opportunity to really prove himself out in andromeda. sara saw it more as a great challenge and wasn’t ready to let her sibling and father have all the fun.

14 Days: Describe some important or formative events in Ryder’s history. How did these impact and shape them?

Ryder was affected by his father’s long absences during his childhood years. he wanted to sit down and have family dinner more often, to come home from school and share about his day, participate in a take-your-child-to-work-day. all scotty wanted was his dad to be home, stay home, to not have to worry that he might never come home. he knew his dad and his work were important to not just the ryder family, but humanity and the galaxy as a whole and thus felt guilty for wanting him to stay.

15 Days: Delve into the Ryder family background - how is/was their relationship with their father, sibling and mother? Do they get along, hero worship, close twin connection, sibling rivalry, was it strained, was it distant, etc.

close with his twin. he is closer with dad than mom because dad tried to take him under his wing, but scotty feels distant from him, resenting that he will ever live up to dad’s greatness. this might have been reduced if Alec hadn’t been away for much of scotty’s childhood.

16 Days: How would Ryder define their sexuality?

when it comes to humans he is straight and bi with turians, but i think he would prefer an asari partner.

17 Days: List some of Ryder’s favorite things - colors, food, music, etc. Is there anything of this nature that they hate? Do they have any hobbies or skills outside of combat?

he likes the color green and is a burger and fries kind of guy. he turns his nose up at most seafood. has always wanted a dog or pet varren, but birds are scary. outside of combat he enjoys movies and tinkering with electronics (though he’s not all that good at it) and doesn’t mind working out or going for a run. likes rugby, hockey, and lacrosse, not a strong swimmer.

18 Days: What qualities does Ryder like and dislike in other people? Are there any things they particularly appreciate or can’t stand?

scotty is all for people who work hard and put forth their best effort. he dislikes those who create drama for the sake of drama. he greatly appreciates those with a good sense of humor, especially when they can lighten an intense moment.

19 Days: Where would Ryder fall in the classic Paragon/Renegade morality system? What would their D&D alignment be? If you know their personality type in any personality typing systems (such as MBTI and Enneagram - you can find various type descriptions and tests using Google), feel free to add and discuss them here.

mostly paragon, neutral good, istp (the craftsman)

20 Days: What first impressions does Ryder tend to give people? Do they have any ‘odd’ or specific mannerisms, habits or other quirks? How do they present and carry themselves?

scotty is a little on the quiet side, especially next to his sister. he is very contemplative and will occasionally ‘drift off’, lost in thought. has a habit of rocking up/down on his feet, heel to toes, when standing still for too long. he keeps a low profile, but will make his presence known when he has a point to make. is friendly when engaged in conversation, personable and very nearly charming.

21 Days: What are Ryder’s personality traits? Describe 5 strengths and 5 flaws.

scotty feels overshadowed by his father, that he can never live up to Alec’s example, nor everyone’s expectations.

he is slightly embarrassed by his biotics, as the only member of his family with the powers. he feels like its ‘cheating’ to use them and thus hasn’t fully realized his potential.

loyal and protective of his friends, squad, and family, especially twin, she is his ‘person’. also generous to others, helpful.

he is adventurous, which is both a strength and a flaw as he can get caught up and become slightly careless from time to time. perhaps a product of his youth, naivity, and inexperience.

22 Days: Will Ryder craft? What are you most excited about crafting? Do you have any names in mind already for weapons?

not obsessively, but enough to keep the crew equipped as best as necessary. as long as i can craft a shotgun ammo mod i am usually happy. i am generally lame in my naming unless inspired in the moment. maybe scotty will be more creative and/or attached to his weapons to name them.

23 Days: Which weapons or category of weapons will Ryder prefer? Describe their favorite loadout.

shotgun and assault rifle make the most sense. though if ryder ends up attracting trouble the way shepard does, i could see him eventually becoming the type to always carry a pistol on his person at all times.

24 Days: Which squadmates do you think will best compliment Ryder’s combat style? Alternatively, who do you plan to take out most in the field?

the way i wanna play i think it would make sense that any mate would pair well with ryder as he would suit his style to compliment their strengths and pick up any slack off their weaknesses. a sniper or someone more tech heavy might be the best match for him though, so probably vetra! and/or jaal. liam and drack would maybe be a fun team for a big all out fight.

25 Days: Describe Ryder’s favorite combat style. Bioware call Peebee a “gunslinger” and describe Liam as a “close-range fighter” - how would you describe Ryder’s combat role/strengths? What are some of their favorite biotic/tech/other abilities?

a strategist. going to try to play it smart, study the field, make every shot and ability count, and try to set up some wicked combos. my actual play-style is screaming and panicked button mashing so i’m not confident this will work out well. i’d love to play around with biotic charge and throw though. beyond that, it all depends on how combat feels in game and exactly how powers work and evolve and interact and how bonuses play out.

26 Days: Do you have a specific class profile or mix of class profiles in mind for Ryder?

i loved playing vanguard in the past and will most likely go that route again, but it would be nice to take a few points in some tech skills to supplement the biotics and combat. i was always annoyed that not everyone had the fancy overload app on their omnitools, surely that would have been standard issue for every alliance solider.

27 Days: Are you going to use the default appearance for Ryder’s sibling or customize them? Describe your ideas for their sibling’s and father’s physical appearance.

i will probably check out the female hair options for sis because even though the ponytail makes logical sense and i like the face framing layers i am not totally feeling it on her. love her nose though so that stays.

28 Days: Are you going to use the default appearance or create a custom Ryder? If custom, describe your Ryder’s physical appearance (hair color, eye color, skin color, height, weight, facial features, any scars or tattoos, racial origin, etc). If you have art and/or a face-claim, feel free to add them here.

first round will be default i think, maybe a few minor tweaks just to make him mine.

if i get around to ever playing sis erin ryder i picture her as blonde but i like to see what the character creator has available first. i would rather design a character then name them.

29 Days: What is your Ryder’s name? Why did you pick this name - is there a meaning or origin story behind it? Do they go by any nicknames? What would you name their sibling, father and mother if you were able to choose?

i’ve come around to embrace him as ‘scotty’ (can’t handle ‘scott’ just yet though) so i am going to go with that most likely.

i did brainstorm some family names before anything was announced and came up with parents Jason and Triss and possible twin combos of Mason and Shelby or Ethan and Erin.

30 Days: Will you play SisRyder or BroRyder first? Why? How does your Ryder define their gender?

broRyder, default scotty probably. I just kinda felt more of a connection to him right off the bat (probably because his introduction was more substantial with a fuller trailer as compared to a mere glimpse of sara). i am also afraid that if i make my first ryder female as i did with shepard, i will again end up with more female characters and neglect to play a male. mostly though i was worried that bioware would horribly kill or maim your sibling and since losing my own brother, also named scott, i am not sure i am ready for that kind of parallel just yet.

1 Day too long: In Citadel space, AIs are illegal. How does Ryder feel about Artificial Intelligence? Are they wary or afraid, are they pro-AI, do they consider AIs to have personhood, etc? How does Ryder feel about SAM and their constant connection to it? Are they glad for the upgrade, do they find it invasive, have mixed feelings, etc?

He is pro AI, they are people too, but is wary of purposeful, intended AI creation/experimentation. if you accidentally create one, treat it well, but no need to immediately mass create any. He is of course fond of SAM but does wish for occasional separation, sometimes to the point of ignoring input from SAM until he can come to his own conclusions first.

2 Days too long: How does Ryder feel about being thrust into the role of humanity’s Pathfinder (burdened, honored, rewarded, excited, etc)? Are they confident or unsure about this? How will they cope?

Scotty is a little unsure, doubtful and hesitant at first, but will come to the conclusion that he really is fit to lead, that no one else would be able to do any better or any worse than he himself. He recognizes it as his chance to prove himself, to live up to his father, and he will not fail. he will seek reassurance from his sister and SAM immediately, followed by friends and other crew, and be bolstered by a few successful missions and any praise from other authorities and the other pathfinders. he is going to cope by either tinkering with something to relax and then going to for a swim (if there wasn’t some kind of pool on the nexus or something i would be pissed as a space citizen) to workout his frustrations (he is not a strong swimmer but for some reason doing so and working so hard makes him feel slightly better).

Can we all work on our control hands a bit? It's like driving a car. Get a sheet of paper and cover it with scribbles, vertical lines and horizontal lines, they way you probably used to draw as a child. All these exercises are meant to relax you so you don't start telling yourself "I can't draw, this is too hard". it's s not. You just need some practise. Re: Let's Draw!

Who knows how much a sketchbook goes for and where I can get it? Thanks...

Redmosquito, I see you...

Hey, you could go to Artworld and buy a sketchpad for like N1,000. Or some shops in VI sell for N500. But you get limited sheets in that sketchpad (like 30). What I can do, is for those coming for the Drawing class, is buy you sheets of paper, A1 size, at N7/sheet. Most art students divide those sheets into half or more sizes and make their own sketchpads with hardbacks or a plywood or masonite board backing, for support. Not only can you add more sheets to that sketchpad, it's reusable and will cost you much less than a pre-made one and can take over 200 sheets. So it lasts longer. Re: Let's Draw!

A Hand (Lessons on how to draw) by Onegai(f): 10:12pm On Nov 08, 2013 tolam4skywd: Oga boss @ op.. Shey month try??

there's no image attached, dear. Re: Let's Draw! A Hand (Lessons on how to draw) by Onegai(f): 10:29pm On Nov 08, 2013 How's it going so far? Do you believe that the world is full of shapes? Not yet? Okay.

Scientists (people who have more time and better facilities on their hands than the average Naija person, sadly) have discovered that every child has a good sense of Drawing and Perspective, but around the primary school learning age, over half of them begin to lose their ability to draw well. They realised that loss in Drawing ability coincided (big word for jammed) with when children began to learn the words of things around them. They theorised that as children grew up and used the more analytical part of their brain, the visioning part of the brain slowed down.

In plain english, the more you think, the less you see. Simple. Look at driving a car and talking on the phone, your brain CAN'T do two simultaneous, opposite things at the same time. Most drivers react well to sudden difference on the road: their foot hits the brakepad without them looking. Because driving is mostly instinct. Same with drawing, same with playing musical instruments. Those are movements based on instinct. You've done it so much, your brain can do it without you looking. Shey una remember that trick we all play on NL, "if you this read correctly, you read it wrong". That's instinct, your mind has filled in the gap for you, so you don't have to read the sentence.

That's why you cannot draw a hand properly unless you've been drawing for a while or I tell you to draw shapes. Because the minute you look at your hand to draw, your brain fills your mind with an image of what it THINKS the hand looks like, you draw that, and then go "ah ah, but this is not how my hand was, I can't draw".

I'm going to prove this to you, with our next drawing challenge. Re: Let's Draw! A Hand (Lessons on how to draw) by Onegai(f): 10:36pm On Nov 08, 2013 CHALLENGE 2: Ladies and gentlemen, please draw the following image the way it is posted, upside down. DO NOT ROTATE IT TO THE RIGHT ORIENTATION, just use your eye, measure a rectangle box and use that as the borders of your drawing, look at the picture, notice the chair is touching a particular point at the border of the picture, on your paper, locate that point, draw the chair. Continue to do so for all parts of the image.

If the scientists are right, (and they are), you will draw that picture I posted better than if it was upright in the nomal position. I presented this challenge to my mum, who has never drawn in her life, and she did well. You should have seen her laugh. So please, no erasings (I left my own mistakes for you all to see), take your time, take 30 minutes and carefully do it the way I described, and for your own sakes, don't rotate the picture to what you expect a picture to be, draw it upside down. Re: Let's Draw! A Hand (Lessons on how to draw) by tolam4skywd(m): 10:38pm On Nov 08, 2013 Onegai:

there's no image attached, dear. it says d file z larger dan 200kb, so it didnt upload Re: Let's Draw! A Hand (Lessons on how to draw) by yorex2011: 10:44pm On Nov 08, 2013 wow...nice thread... 2 Likes 1 Share Re: Let's Draw! A Hand (Lessons on how to draw) by Onegai(f): 10:47pm On Nov 08, 2013 You will draw any picture upside well, because your analytical part of your brain DOES NOT understand what it seeing, and therefore cannot tell you "that is a woman in buba sitting down". Because it isn't telling you what to see, the visional or sensory side of your brain takes over and you see shapes and you draw shapes. Shapes are not scary to draw, everybody drew shapes as a child and your brain remembers how easy and relaxed that time was, sees clearly and you draw. Now, if I had said "let's draw a woman", a lot of us would have sweated in fear.

If you don't do the drawing upside down, that's your own method. However, this upside-down method has far repercussions. You wanna learn how to paint well (and not what I see here, that people call paintings), do it upside-down and eventually, you'll understand the concept behind the exercises that seemingly don't make sense. 2 Likes 1 ShareRe: Let's Draw!
