James Vega is a bro, no doubt. He’s canonically the bro who goes to the gym 2-3 hours every day and jumps up and yells at the refs on TV and challenges his friends to mezcal shots. But canonically he’s also the bro who gets up in the morning and makes eggs for everyone, from his dear abuela’s recipe, and gives everyone nicknames. And he’s definitely the bro who has like four dogs back home. They’re all rescue dogs. Three of them have macho names like Bullet and Whiskey, and the fourth is named Kitten.

Kiasa (辉畅) Ryder

She was always smiling. Ineffectual happiness on the cuffs of her worn-out hoodie, plain and unafraid. It was this unfearing optimism standing before the bleak emptiness of space that wore her lifted chin like bravery, like a torn page from a book of awestruck poetry. She was no hero. She was simply looking behind the dust-collecting trepidation for adventure.

Thank you to the INCREDIBLE @mako-art for this Ko-fi portrait of my darling Kiabee. Please, if you can support, this amazing artist!

I was thinking about how thankful Garrus is to Shepard when it hit me..

Garrus was probably never listened to up until he formed Archangel, and even then, it only started out because of Sidonis, and we know how that turned out…

In ME1, he just wants to be listened to.

In ME3, he wishes he didn’t need to be listened to.

ME2 is the middle ground he’s always wanted and it blew up in his face (sorry) because of one person that broke his trust, and now he’s extra careful of who he can trust and grateful for those who will listen, which seems to be just Shepard by this point. But being in agreement with each other is hardly a concern - it’s the respect that comes with that trust.

Shepard can deny him the one thing he wants to do and put their own life on the line for it, and he’s still loyal to Shepard. Why? Because nothing says ‘trustworthy’ more. I trust you not to shoot me / I trust you for being so trusting. If someone is willing to do something so bold out of trust, he can step away, respect their reasoning and accept that it’s for the best, even if he can’t quite see how at first.

“There’s nobody in this galaxy I respect more than you.”

Because Shepard listened.

(And this, friends, is why I will always choose him to lead the fire team)

For those asking whether I paint on black paper: this is what these pieces look like right before I start filling in the black background! I only work on white paper, fill in the background with the exact shade of black I want, and then paint only the tiniest details on top in gouache 🖤
