Liara’s character development between Mass Effect 1 and 3.
As a history major, I’d probably be salty too.

Wednesday, November 8.
Mass Effect fanart.
Yesterday was November 7, known to Mass Effect fans as N7 Day. Today, as you may have discerned, is November 8. And so, we thought to ourselves, why not celebrate N7 on N8 and stretch out the celebrations for another 24 hours? It's crazy, sure—but it might just be crazy enough to work.
Voila. Hey presto. Here's some #mass effect fanart. You deserve it, quite frankly.

mshenko is probably the healthiest representation of queer relationships i've seen which isn't saying much because i haven't seen many but their fucking dynamic is just so goddamn important to me.
like... i know the reason we can't be gay in ME1 is because they (bioware) were cowards but in retrospect i really, really fucking love the slow burn. because it's like... they go through ME1 together, go through horizon, and STILL end up drawn to one another. and they actually talk about it, about horizon, in the hospital. i think mars was such a huge example of how deeply shepard really cares for kaidan.
and i think kaidan's love is best represented when they're in the cerberus headquarters and shepard talking about being rebuilt by cerberus says, "i don't know, i..." and kaidan just says, "you're real enough for me"
like on god i WILL fucking lose my goddamn mind RIGHT NOW. because that's so indicative of the way they communicate even without speaking. there's a bond there that's so fucking deep and i just. they make me SO FUCKING FERAL.

If you think about it, Commander Shepard’s mission was never defeat the Reapers, it was survive.
Survive Eden Prime against the Geth so they can save the colony. Survive Virmire against Saren so they can save the galaxy. Survive the Citadel so they can stop the Reapers. Survive the Normandy SR-1’s demise. Survive Cerberus long enough to go through the Omega relay. Survive the collectors base to destroy it. Survive the proto-Reaper to destroy it. Survive Priority Earth to get help. Survive long enough to unite the galaxy. Survive returning to Earth to activate the crucible. Survive the crucible.
They ensured every race could survive to fight the reapers. To spit in the face of extinction. Even if it was at the cost of their own survival.

when your girlfriend becomes a mass machine consciousness but then also comes back but then also is a bit weird but its fine because you still love her goofy ass and she kept her promise to take you dancing

You know I did the survivor background for my first play through. Never thought I’d ever cheer for a Thresher Maw.

Oh, yeah, I love that game about fighting to stop an oncoming machine apocalypse. My favorite character is that kind of quiet guy from a warrior culture with a wry sense of humor and a deep, abiding admiration for his commander. You know, on the taller side, cultural tattoos, blue color scheme, background in law enforcement, went through a really horrific injury and lost his squad mates due to treachery from someone he used to trust.
You know...
That guy.

Interspecies love saved the galaxy
Specifically, the Asari preference for interspecies love saved the galaxy. Thanks to interactions with Leviathans and Protheans, we can assume that most species that reach the citadel first become dominant, conquering or enslaving the others. However, the Asari's unique ability - and inherent desire - to harness the genetic diversity of other species incentivised true collaboration. That collaboration was necessary to build and fire The Crucible.
Furthermore, I would speculate that "Athame," the Prothean who bestowed revelations upon the Asari, may have had such an outcome in mind.
