Yes, Liara T’Soni gets a lot of the spot light in the trilogy, but the way some of her haters demonize her as selfish is gross. Liara comforts you multiple times about the loss of Earth, expresses sorrow about the fall of Palavan, and her reaction to Thessia falling is more about guilt for not doing more for her people than “woe is me!”
Yes her confrontation scene with Javik is poorly written, but it’s honestly an extension of Bioware dumbing Liara down and mocking her academic career studying the Protheans in order to build up Javik, who I actually do like.
Wait you named one of your cats after the villain of Mass Effect? That is so cool!
Basket cats! Saren and Jake investigating a new basket for the laundry room.
Beautiful FemShepard/Garrus Vakarian fanart.
“One night off”. A gentle reminder that happy romances exist in BioWare games. <3.

“Cough” shitty Catholic apologists “cough”.
felt inspired to make this after reading some of the comments on my post about liking history
This is so sweet.
Drypetis was such a soft girl; a little girl, with a wide coy smile hidden behind her hands and a tendency to stomp when she walked. She enjoyed the arts, and acted out small snippets of plays.
I remember once, she played at Ganymede and urged me to be Zeus. It was amusingly appropriate, given our age difference, and I made to spirit her away; as though she was the pale Trojan Prince. To my surprise, she instead took an ornamental sword and brandished it at me with relish, the hilt cracking against my left shoulder.
It seemed she had believed that the beautiful Ganymede had fought for his freedom here on Earth, rather than take the position as cup-bearer at Olympus itself.
It took the rest of the afternoon to explain to her that a cup-bearer to the gods was truly a sign of great status; but even when we parted after we ate, she still maintained that he would want to strike a golden eagle down; to show off such a magnificent bird with boyish charm.
(Really, the one with true boyish charm was her)

Yes, I understand the Divine Comedy is all about Dante being upset about being exiled from Florence, Italy, but I can still be salty about him shitting on my favs (Cleopatra, Odysseus). The slut shaming of a political leader who slept with only two men (who FYI both slept with way more people) is disgusting!
DNI if you’re going to blather on about how “important” his work is.
A timely reminder of how multi-cultural the ancient world really was.
Seated Buddha Bronze, 1st to mid-2nd century, Gandhara (modern Pakistan). Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (X).
This is one of the earliest depictions of the Buddha in human form. Gandharan artists were familiar with Greek and Roman art from military expeditions, diplomacy, and trade. This Buddha’s unique halo is reminiscent of depictions of the god Helios in Greek and Sol in Roman art. The drape of the tunic echoes Hellenistic and Roman garments, as well as depictions of the Iranian god Mithra, and the Roman god Mithras.
