→ Eva Coré. 

The most complicated storyline in all of Mass Effect.

And the most overlooked.

Perhaps a better woman would see the stars

Look at these city lights and feel her heart

Lift in her chest- I don’t.

These lights only mean a sudden vertigo

A stepping-off as if I meant to fly

Or fall.

Can I talk a minute about how beautifully this scans? Can I? Because the meter here is so elegant. Here, look:

That opening couplet so lovely, gently variant iambic pentameter, a classic rhyme and the classic and very lovely inverted iamb at the beginning of line 2.

And then that third line. Opens with another inverse iamb, as if to mirror the second, but then cuts off, and that hard pause is gorgeous, as is the “I don’t” which you could read as an iamb but I read it as a spondee - it’s heavy like that, and the “don’t” lands as hard as the “I,” to my ear.

The fourth line, while returning to pentameter, is the most irregular, and purposefully so - it’s like the line has vertigo, a slight unsteadiness on its feet.

Then the fifth line - it flies. Perfect iambic pentameter, light on its feet as a dream,

and finally the sixth line, closing with a single iamb, a perfect heaviness and a flawless grace.

The meter’s exquisite and the poem’s beautiful.

Forgive me for reblogging this and FREAKING OUT but I was so nervous when I wrote that poem, honestly it used to be twice as long but I cut it and cut it and then just went ‘blaargh’ and walked away, and this analysis is so beautiful and lovely and such a massive, huge compliment you have no idea.

You analysed my poem! And you did it so wonderfully! Thank you!

Mass Effect fandom waited five years for female krogan. “Just one,” we asked. “Just give us one.”

And boy did we get her.

Eve is the type of character that I love the most: the type who’s suffered under the worst circumstances you can imagine and still finds reasons to smile. She’s the one who went through hell — everything from losing her firstborn child to stillbirth, growing up with the burden that the fate of her species was unfairly put on her shoulders, brutal shaman training, the horrid experiments at Maelon’s hands — and still found a way to get back on her feet and be able to say, “It’ll be worth it in the end.”

She died on my first playthrough and I was crushed. Not only was I still reeling from Mordin’s death, but her dying on top of that was an extra blow. She speaks with a voice that says she doesn’t just hope for a better tomorrow, but with a firmness that says she’ll be damned if it isn’t. She understood that wishing isn’t enough, but that you have to grab your future by the throat to get not just what you want, but what you and yours need. And her optimism was infectious; by the end, it isn’t just necessity for the war or nostalgia for Wrex that fuels you to cure it, it’s the desire to prove her right and help her achieve that goal.

The krogan are in good hands under Wrex. But under Wrex and Eve, they’re in the best hands.

Forever reblog- Bakara is perfect for Feminist Friday

Traynor is the best. No arguments.

EDI’s character arc through Mass Effect 3 is very interesting to me. She questions what it means to be alive, and she grows as both a character and as an individual who becomes self aware and far exceeds what she was originally programmed to be.

Okay if this came out as a print?

I’d buy it.

Aaaaah, okay, that is the best sort of compliment. :)
