I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air—
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath—
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows ‘twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear…
But I’ve a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

“I Have a Rendezvous with Death” by Alan Seeger (1881-1916)

…Bioware…

I can’t with you people. I just can’t.

If it’s a prequel, okay, cool. That’s really the only way I can see it being set in-universe and get away without any reference to Shepard.

If it’s AU, that would work a lot better.

During the events of the other games is probably out.

If it’s set post-ME3, that’s a major can of worms and I really hope they realize that and don’t go that route. Because a post-ME3 Mass Effect game…they would probably pick one ME3 ending as “canon.” Which I think would go over about as well as trying to sell someone a turd sandwich.

I mean. I am still not over ME3. I cannot bring myself to finish the runs I haven’t completed.

Also still not over not being able to romance ALL the ladies with femShep.

Tumblr Savior what are you doing that picture of a cat had absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VERY FEW THINGS I TOLD YOU TO HIDE WHAT IS THIS

::attempts to fix this nonsense::

Because apparently tumblr savior defaulted to the first installed version and therefore wasn’t savioring what I told it to at all.
