has anyone ever pulled on the geminis ribbons in a fight?? like, those things look so dangerous imma be honest. wouldnt they choke them if they get pulled on????

Yeah, no, they are. They're attached to their capes rather than being directly tied around their necks, so pulling on it wouldn't necessarily choke them, but could definitely yank them off their feet... So it's not really the most ideal design for battle...

But they look soooooo pretty. The ribbons twirling around with them lends very well to their fighting style and the way they tend to move. And it's a very iconic look, and easily marketable... Sooooo... it got put on the outfits anyway. It just means that the Gemini have gotten very good at moving in such a way that the ribbons tend to stay close to their bodies and out of their opponent's reach, and have learned how to counteract if they do get grabbed. Just another challenge for them.

#marketing > safety #it LOOKS GOOD they'll manage #this is actually a huge thing once theyre no longer w mama and living w draxum #where theyre training and sparring and shit and hes constantly like :/// #stop... no unnecessary twirls or flips... no showy sweeps that leave your side open... no poses... #no ignoring openings and keeping a spar going for longer than it needs to for “the thrill of it” #STOP DOING THINGS THAT ARE ACTIVELY MAKING THE FIGHT HARDER AND MORE DANGEROUS FOR YOURSELVES JUST SO THAT IT LOOKS GOOD #and theyre like ?????? whats the point of fighting if you dont look good???????? #most ppl in the nexus probably also know that yanking on the ribbons will definitely put them on mamas BAD SIDE so they often.. elect not t #asks #anon #gemini au

ten facts about velimus and adrien?

ok so i didnt know if u wanted ten facts abt both of them or ten each so i went w ten each (actually 12 for adrien bc i love him) (thank u!!!!!!!!)#oc: adrien #oc: velimus

adrien

1. hes still a vanguard and therefore biotic and pretty much 90% of his biotics involve hitting things with force, like his punch, slamming himself into ppl w his dash, his biotic pull is basically playing pingpong w someonr, etc. he has difficulty sustaining constant things like biotic shields or holding someone still midair bc hes just not used to it (+didnt have super official training wooooooooops)

2. is vegetarian (meat only, hes fine with eggs and dairy products (tho hes mildly lactose intolerant))

3. hes chinese + his full name is adrien jiahong zhu

4. the type of guy who will stop what hes doing to help a small bug or worm off the sidewalk. god forbid its something like a large deer thats injured or youll be there forever

5. loves Jokes Jests and Pranks, particularly slapstick humor or stuff like shaking someones hand with a buzzer or putting down a whoopie cushion. is constantly distressed that his prosthetics arent on the left so he can make "im all right now" jokes. at least he has "lemme give you a hand". his turian crewmates are so tired of his shit

6.  still working out his n v's n the others backstories but for rn at least he was an alliance soldier who had to take charge of a squad whether bc he was promoted or bc he old commander died on the mission, long story short everyone except like 1 or 2 ppl died and those few ppl refuse to talk to him and the stress/trauma from the mission exacerbated sooooome issues he has which led to yknow suicidal behaviors like trying to off himself etc until he was discharged. after which he just kinda went into being a freelancer/problem-solver/bodyguard/etc for money. after some fandangling he helps out some turian soldiers and, with his perfectly rational self, decided Sneaking Onto The Turian Warship would be a great idea. somehow they dont kill him, he worms his way into their hearts, etc, everyones happy

7. casually dated a krogan while he was a freelancer, theyre still buddies and keep in touch

8. ive talked abt it b4 briefly but he really likes the 60s california surfer aesthetic. he has a beach boys song as his ringtone, a bunch of vintage pictures he downloaded off the extranet plastered on the walls of his tiny closet bedroom on the ship, wants a vintage woodie car even though wheels seem to be pretty obsolete, and likes to visit the beach when able.

9. he plays the bass and can sing pretty passibly

10. has and will readily complain about minor bumps and scrapes to have an excuse to go visit velimus in the med bay to get around the "no interrupting someones work" rule. velimus goes along with it

11. also the type of guy who doesnt give literally two shits abt respecting orders if someone might get hurt in the process. like to the point where in the middle of battle he picked up and hauled the /captain of his ship/ who can /kick his ass/ off the battlefield bc she would have kept fighting til she keeled over and hes NOT having that

12. can and has eaten turian food and suffered the moderate-to-severely bad allergic reactions REPEATEDLY just to see what it tastes like. has looked velimus (yknow, the Resident Fucking Doctor) in the eyes directly as he popped a whole turian mini doughnut in his mouth.

velimus:

1. became a medic more out of neccessity and feelings of duty than a commitment to protecting life, hes warmed up to the job over the years but still

2. a hopeless romantic but very, very lowkey and guarded about it, even after he gets into a relationship w adrien. like, writes Gay Shit about how pretty n dark adriens eyes are and how soft his skin is but would probably never say it to his face even though adrien would Love it

3. a pretty soothing person to be around, which is good considering his job. nice, low-toned voice, pretty calm and hard to phase when it comes to in the middle of battle. its great

4. sister is antovia, captain of the ship

5. ive drawn him relatively skinny but im gonna practice drawing more heavyset turian body types bc if adrien is a speedy punchy bullet then velimus is a beefy strong professional weightlifter. like adrien still Lifts him regularly but velimus is the true lifter of the relationship and has carried 2-3+ full grown injured turians back to safety at least once probably

6. main weapon is literally a massive cleaver. i still cant decide if its a fancy futureistic light one like the omnitool blade or A Literal Cleaver he carries around. who the fuck uses GUNS when you can carve someone in half with one smooth stroke

7. loves the human dark souls and bloodborne games

8. loves just. space? astronomy? stars and how different they look from planet to planet and just how VAST the universe is? daydreams about being an explorer and discovering new species

9. enjoys sparring in the ring a lot and can get maybe a little too vicious

10. holds grudges like a motherfucker
