“Shepard’s team would follow her through the Omega 4 Relay, to Reaper controlled planets, and into Hell itself.

However, the Mako is a completely different story.”

“Shepard loved to read about Nihlus on the extranet and had secret daydreams about going on Spectre missions with him, so the mission to Eden Prime was a dream come true for her.

“Garrus is and will always be Shepard’s best friend. He’s the brother she never had, and she’d let a whole colony burn to the ground to keep him alive.”

Mod note that you can feel free to delete when reblogging:

This headcanon was submitted way before ME3 was released, I think it was right when the first few real trailers came out.

(Also, right now I’m just posting the headcanons that people have already made images for because I am still at work, and I have nothing to do right now)

So glad you're back! When will submissions be open again?

Tue, 07 May 2013 13:29:00 -0700

Thanks!

Right now I’ve got a huge backlog to work through, but I think in a few weeks, I’ll be opening submissions one day a week just so there won’t be as many as if submissions were open all the time. I think I might also alternate between posting the oldest ones in my inbox and the newer ones, so you guys won’t have to wait like six years to see your newer submissions.

I tried to find the Thane Headcanons but I didn't see his name!

Tue, 07 May 2013 12:27:00 -0700

I just added him to the list! Sorry about that.

Sidenote: Does anyone know how to edit click-through links? I used a click-through link on a potentially spoiler-y headcanon, and the image hosting site I used was Tinypic. I guess they recycle URLs because the click-through no longer leads to the headcanon on this post.

Hey, I submitted a headcanon about Jacob and Miranda longtime ago? I think maybe it might've gotten lost...? I know that you're also probably super busy. :c

Tue, 07 May 2013 12:24:00 -0700

Timestamps don’t show in my inbox anymore, but I’m pretty sure this ask is from at least 6 months ago (probably longer tbh, I am the worst). If you’re still following me, and you remember what it is, please message me!

Chances are I just haven’t gotten to it yet but it’s possible it got lost.

I’m about to answer a couple questions ~~because I am at work and I have run out of tasks to do~~, and I will be tagging them with ‘mehc asks’ if you’d like to add that to your tumblr savior.

Also, everything that isn’t a headcanon or directly related to headcanons will be tagged with ‘not headcanon’ so you can also add that to your tumblr savior if you’d like.

And another thing: If you have a question about a headcanon you’ve submitted, it’s much easier if you ask me un-anonymously, so I can respond directly to you. I promise I won’t judge you for your headcanon! I assure you, I have some pretty silly ones as well.

“I like to think that my Shepard was romantically involved with Nihlus before Eden Prime.

The entirety of ME1 was a mission of revenge.”

“Shepard does not want to survive the reaper invasion. The longer he lives, the more he is sure that he wants to die. He has caused so much death, too much death, and he doesn’t want to have to live with that for the rest of his life. The only thing that might make him change his mind is Liara; when he is close to completely losing control, she can bring him back from the brink every time.”

“Spacer/Adept Shepard hates being a biotic. Growing up idolizing soldiers and only manifesting in adolescence after a secondary eezo exposure, she was forced to reassess how she viewed herself and what her career would look like. She questions if she would have been good enough to be a marine on her own merits, without her “gifts.””

“My Colonist Shepard joined the military because of a boy. The first few weeks of boot camp were terrible for her, but she managed to push her way through due to sheer stubbornness. She ended up dumping her fellow-recruit boyfriend when he demanded that she stop beating him at all of the proficiency tests. The military gave her life a purpose for the first time since Mindoir.”
