Bioware Ladies Ranked by How Bullshit It Is You Can't Romance Them As A Female Character

1. Tali’Zorah Vas Normandy – Tali is so obviously into FemShep that it’s not even funny. The only possible excuse for this one is that they’re mutually pining for each other and too scared of rejection to see it through (which would be out of character for Shepard regardless of how you play her, so nah). Additionally, I am forever salty that someone who’s just so damn cute can’t be smooched as a Lady.

2. Cassandra Pentaghast – Have you seen her haircut? Her muscles? God damn.

3. Morrigan – Morrigan’s open and absolute distaste for men is such an overwhelming sign of lesbianism that it makes me question what the writers for Dragon Age were even thinking when they made her character. Were they thinking? I have my doubts.

4. Jack – Jack literally admits to having had past romantic and/or sexual encounters with both men and women, so it makes zero% sense that FemShep can’t romance her.

5. Bastila Shan – Bastila and KOTOR’s protag are quite literally soul mates. I really don’t need to say anything else.

6. Dawn Star – “Childhood Friends Having a Crush on Each Other and Growing Up To Explore Those Feelings, But Lesbians” would have made such a good arc, y’all.

7. Miranda Lawson – Other people have made this point before but it’s still valid so it’s unrealistic that the “genetically-engineered-to-be-perfect human being” would be straight (or British, for that matter).

8. Cora Harper – I think there’s a fan comic or something floating around out there about this but you Do Not roll with Asari commandos and come out the other side completely straight.

9. Ashley Williams – I can’t really think of any reasons why Ashley should be romanceable as FemShep other than that you can’t be straight in space, but that’s still pretty compelling.

10. EDI – I actually kind of understand not being able to romance EDI, and in fact I’m happy for her and Joker. That said, I’m still upset on principle alone that I don’t get to smooch a Robot Lady.

Mass Effect is a series full of complex moral choices that affect millions of lives

On Appropriate Urinal Etiquette and Hacking.

AN: This hasn’t been proofread, and I’ve pushed it out to meet the first snow prompt. Garrett and Andy belong to azuremosquito, I’m just borrowing them. And thus begins the College Age College Effect crossover. 

“We are only three hours from home Jeff,” Edi said as he pulled into a park outside a brightly lit restaurant. “If we continued travelling we would be home by 9pm.”

Joker shook his head and turned off the ignition. “I’m more than fine with delaying our arrival home, Cortez sent me a pic of Jane and Kaidan in the stairwell last night and I am legitimately afraid of what I might find if we get home too early.” Unclipping his seatbelt he opened the door and slid carefully out, wincing as his feet hit the concrete. “Besides, I really need to piss and Kirkville is the last place that sells anything that passes for food before we get home.” He stretched, then relaxed as a pop sounded from his lower back. He grinned at Edi over the hood. “John wouldn’t let me borrow the SR-2. Says he ‘doesn’t trust me with it’. I call bullshit, I’m a great driver. And besides, the leather seats are really comfy on my old bones.”

Edi raised an eyebrow at him as she rummaged in the back seat for her handbag. “I have detected eight traffic code violations in the last 30 minutes alone. I was in fear for my life.” Slamming the door to the car, she sauntered towards the door of the restaurant. “That was a joke,” she eventually commented, holding the door open for a tall olive skinned woman as Joker limped towards her. He grunted in response, and headed for the bathroom.  

Pushing open the door, he noted that all but one of the urinals were occupied. With a grimace, he headed for the empty space. He was just doing up his fly when a hand appeared over the partition to his left.

“I don’t think I’ve seen you around before,” the owner of the hand commented, a curious expression in his brown eyes. “Name’s Garrett Hawke.”
