I know this is totally non-art related, but I have more Mass Effect fans following this blog rather than my non-art one.
Anyhow, on Tuesday, a new Mass Effect novel will be released: ‘Mass Effect: Deception’. It’s supposed to tie into the events of ‘Mass Effect 3’. However, many people on the BSN have found loads of canonical and lore inaccuracies (a list of which can be found here), but that’s not why I’m asking you to think twice.
The grossest offenses in the whole book are two things:
1) the character of Gillian Grayson -an autistic biotic human from ‘ME: Ascension’ is described as “growing out of” her autism so the writer can use her as a main protagonist. This is ALL kinds of offensive on a variety of levels and tbqh, I want to cry just thinking about it. As someone with siblings on the autism spectrum, it is not something you can “grow out of”, but rather learn skills throughout your life to adapt and develop social skills.
2) the character of Hendel Mitra -the first openly homosexual male in the series- is made heterosexual for no inexplicable reason. I think this one speaks for itself, don’t you?
If you’re a ME fan and also a proponent of social justice, I strongly suggest you warn others before supporting this trash, if not for those two reasons alone. Don’t let this affect your pre-order for ME3 -I doubt any of this will have any major bearing in the game whatsoever-, but I urge you to reconsider before buying this book and supporting the author’s intentions.
It’s really such a shame because I was one of the many who was looking forward to this book. They should’ve at least gotten someone who knew the ME lores consistently, if not by heart. But like metaraymek said, don’t let this affect your perception for ME3! Mass Effect as a series has been consistent with its facts and infos. Besides, Dietz (the guy who wrote Deception) is not even part of the writer’s team so I highly doubt they would consider or acknowledge this as canon.
But damn look at that list- it’s got more than 50 inconsistencies! That’s really sad.

MegaUpload Users Plan to Sue the FBI over Lost Files
In most reports following the MegaUpload shutdown, the site is exclusively portrayed as a piracy haven.
However, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people used the site to share research data, work documents, personal video collections.
As of today, these people are still unsure whether they will ever get their personal belongings back.
In a response, Pirate Parties worldwide have started to make a list of all the people affected by the raids, and they are planning to file an official complaint against the US authorities.
“The widespread damage caused by the sudden closure of Megaupload is unjustified and completely disproportionate to the aim intended,” they announce.
MegaUpload users who want to join in on the action can do so here.
I don’t even know what to say about this so I’m just gonna hit “reblog”
Robins can be slippery sometimes, especially you Jason Todd.
I found a really really great sexuality test. Post your results. For shits and giggles.
You scored 49 Heterosexuality, 21 Homosexuality, and 53 Asexuality!
You are moderately interested in sex to asexual, but do not appear to be interested in either gender.Well, that’s pretty much what I was expecting.You scored 53 Heterosexuality, 21 Homosexuality, and 33 Asexuality! You are either straight or bisexual (with an interest in the opposite gender) with a moderate to high sex drive. The higher your score in heterosexuality, the more you are attracted to the opposite gender. A higher asexuality score means that you place a bigger emphasis on the emotional aspects of a relationship and less on the physical.
Pretty much, yeah.

I was scrolling through my likes recently, as one does, and came across a fantastic piece of art that I’d liked a while ago, and so when I saw it again I re-liked it to re-up it, I said to myself, NOW SEE HERE SID, YOU’RE GONNA DO FANART OF THIS FANART IF IT KILLS YOU.
—and because I fear myself, I did a speedypaint fanart of that fanart because oh my god feyuca’s evil!Sherlock makes me absolutely weak in the knees.
APPROPRIATE REACTION GIF IS APPROPRIATE
Also, whoever on the design team thought glowing nipples was a good idea needs to think again. In fact, the entire design team needs to really ask themselves why they thought it was a good idea, because if at least one of them had pointed out how it wasn’t, the glowing nipples probably wouldn’t have made it to the mostly-final product. It’s like they’re trying to bring as much attention as they can to the fact that it has boobs. Why?

solely because you all love Mass Effect
I just automatically have a crush on anyone who loves Mass Effect
You can have a creepy crush on me all you want, just as long as you save me a MP game or two. I honestly don’t have anyone to play it with, though I guess there will be open lobbies and crap, and I’m sure the ME community on livejournal will have a post where people can share their usernames and crap. BLEH.
