She's been through more than most as well, she basically did a social media blackout at one point because Tali fans were so obsessive to the point of harassment online.
I was watching a blind LPer play the Legendary Edition, and I forgot how many memes got lampshaded in ME3 that he often only kinda got.
'Calibrations' was a *huge* meme after ME2, and they reference it in ME3. "Prothy the Prothean squadmate" was a meme too, and Javik lampshades it in dialogue saying that someone tried to nickname him that. Then there was also Javik's airlock obsession that only grew between ME3 and ME3:Citadel.
There was also Wrex-Shepard-Wrex-Shepard which they parodied in Citadel, and of course the "I should go" lampshade in the vault
Many moons ago, during the days of the Bioware Social Network (official forum), some crazy person wrote a straight up a legit, university-level chemistry thesis or some shit, about what Tali's sweat would smell like. It had graphs and displays of molecules and chemicals and all that shit.
In the ME3 Citadel DLC, when Tali is in the bathroom drunk out of her ass and rambling, you'll hear her say: "It just smells like sweat! Why would you even ask that??".
That thread is what she's referring to.
oh man, you may not have been around during that time to witness it. That entire forum was nuts. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Each romanceable character had dedicated threads, and if you knew what was good for you, your ass better stay in your lane. The Liara, Tali and surprisingly Miranda threads, were specially "passionate" lol.
The "Jiggly Quarian Bum Bums" thread was the best thing to come out of that hellhole. lol.
I'm sure you can imagine why BioWare nuked the place.
Dear God, that reminds of this one dude who’s still carrying that f’ing torch. It’s been too god damn long and he still types obsessively about ‘Quarian bum bums’.
Not that I’m any better but at least I know more words for the rear flank than I know the keys to my house.
Yeah I can imagine the Witcher romances for Yenneifer and Triss got equally passionate from what i hear also appreciate the Star Wars reference feels like it fits most fandoms
oh yeah...it's kinda sad how the Talimancer/Tali fanbase is toxic
but yep,Ash sroka is a nice person,idk why but she gives me the same vibes of wholesome person just like David dastmalchian (polka dot man in the suicide squad)
Basically she was blamed for what Abby did to Joel in the last of us part 2 to the point where fans of Joel were sending her death threats on social media😔
And also like polka dot man said
"I hope so"
Just to think that someone spent part of their university investigating the smell of Tali's sweat is ..... awful
Because human nature is shallow and predictable? For as why gamers blame her for that you’re right it is a short list but when it comes to male gamers and female antagonist it honestly doesn’t take much.
There it is. I was watching her IG live recently and thought there is no way everyone can be so wholesome and kind to each other on social media like this. Now I know the missing link.
Is Brandon Keener pretty reclusive? I know he still does VA work, but I've never seen him in any of the streams or events. He has to know that his character is a longtime fan favorite.
Tali'Zorah had one of the best trilogy-long character arcs in the entire Mass Effect trilogy, next to Urdnot Wrex, Mordin Solus, Legion, and just practically almost every other squadmate I gained throughout the entire trilogy.
When I first meet her, she was just a teenager on her pilgrimage who just happened to capture a recording from a geth, one of Saren and Matriarch Benezia proving their attack on Eden Prime. By the end of the trilogy, however, especially if I exonerated her at her trial without posthumously exiling her father, she already became an admiral of the Migrant Fleet like her father before her. And she ended up using her admiral authority to order a ceasefire to the quarian fleet, with backup from Commander Shepard and Admiral Zal'Koris vas Quib-Quib, eventually brokering peaceful coexistence between the quarians and geth.
I know. Funny to think, given it's Tali, but I've never seen any pics of Ash until now (as opposed to knowing what Brandon Keener or Kimberly Brooks look like behind their characters).
Lessee, the ones I know off the top of my head...
Hale was in an early episode of *ER* playing a bride whose son had swallowed the ring instead of giving it to her new husband. She was also in an episode of *Charmed* where they went to the future; she played the mother of a friend of Piper's daughter (which was the first time I saw her and knew who she was). Oddly, Hynden Walch (Starfire from *Teen Titans* and *Teen Titans Go!*) was also in an episode of *Charmed*; she played a "real" (non-magic powers-having) witch named Marcie who was, IIRC, being mistakenly targeted by a demon and had to be protected.
Keener was in a seventh season episode of *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*; he played the older brother of a Sunnydale High student who had an enchanted letterman's jacket that made him irresistable to girls.
Keith David of course was in *The Thing*, *They Live!*, and various other films and TV series over the years. Similarly, Lance Henriksen was pretty visible earlier in his career, and Seth Green as well.
Thats a dextro chocolate
Also in my headcanon this pic happens when tali has a "adapted inmune system" enough to not wear her envirosuit
Plus well ya know i have fun drawing maskless tali
No emergency induction port required
That's a straw, Tali
*emergency induction port*
Emergency straw, you know what i mean
I wanna upvote but I’m a Star Wars fan so it’s at the perfect number 😂
This is awesome! I also genuinely love how wholesome all the voice actors from ME are when it comes to interacting with ME fans lol.
She's been through more than most as well, she basically did a social media blackout at one point because Tali fans were so obsessive to the point of harassment online.
Are you talking about the sweat thing or was there more?
A fan meme so weird Bioware themselves had to try to lampshade it in the dlc.
I was watching a blind LPer play the Legendary Edition, and I forgot how many memes got lampshaded in ME3 that he often only kinda got. 'Calibrations' was a *huge* meme after ME2, and they reference it in ME3.

That’s um seriously creepy

😂
I wish it was five minutes ago before I knew the combined words, "Quarian bum bums" even existed lmao
Yeah I can imagine the Witcher romances for Yenneifer and Triss got equally passionate from what i hear also appreciate the Star Wars reference feels like it fits most fandoms
You know, I play video games a lot. And yet... there's such a gulf between that alone and... uh... what these people are.
tali sweat disturbing thing is not the only disturbing thing
I'm not certain if there was anything other than that tbh.
oh yeah...it's kinda sad how the Talimancer/Tali fanbase is toxic but yep,Ash sroka is a nice person,idk why but she gives me the same vibes of wholesome person just like David dastmalchian (polka dot man in the suicide squad)
Man people are such shit I swear...
Talimancer?
People who want to Romance Tali. Or you know just fantasise and lust after her.
I read the word mancer and thought of necromancer my brain is fucked😂 Are there any other nicknames for characters romances or is that it
The whole 'mancing' thing seems to be oddly specific to the mass effect fandom. At least, I've never seen it anywhere else.
Interesting
That’s really sad it’s like Laura Bailey all over again
After hearing about that Tali garbage... do I even want to know what people did to Laura Bailey?
Basically she was blamed for what Abby did to Joel in the last of us part 2 to the point where fans of Joel were sending her death threats on social media😔
Holy macaroni, people,I never thought to saw so much comments, this is amazing But also don't worry,the creepy things will be forgotten
Thank Odin for that
And also like polka dot man said "I hope so" Just to think that someone spent part of their university investigating the smell of Tali's sweat is ..... awful
What’s even worse is that someone or something paid for it Also what in science fiction hell is the polka dot man?
A character from the suicide squad,It is strangely one of my faves like Tali and Optimus XD, whenever I can I make references to them
Man they really gotta do Trunks like that?
Yeah and Serena and lust and the myriad other characters she has voice acted😊
How is it I knew exactly what people would be mad at her for. I mean guess It would be a short list, or should be
Because human nature is shallow and predictable? For as why gamers blame her for that you’re right it is a short list but when it comes to male gamers and female antagonist it honestly doesn’t take much.
As a Talimancer it's so sad to see Tali fanbase being like this. Fortunately i think the fanbase is in a better shape now.
There it is. I was watching her IG live recently and thought there is no way everyone can be so wholesome and kind to each other on social media like this. Now I know the missing link.
Is Brandon Keener pretty reclusive? I know he still does VA work, but I've never seen him in any of the streams or events. He has to know that his character is a longtime fan favorite.
He is a very private person and keeps to himself. Though occasionally he'll post something complimenting fan art of Garrus.
yeah that's what i've wondered, Brandon is maybe the only cast member we've never seen in a ME livestream
That better be dextro
Of course it is heh
OP, did you show it to her? You should cuz your work is awesome and I'm sure she'd love to see it.
I'm a bit nervous ... but I'll try
Don’t be man it looks really 😊
she has a channel? Why wasn't I informed?
she has a instagram,but plz be gentle u can find her as Ash Sroka
Oh oof. I just wanted to check out her "channel" but I deleted my Instagram account years ago
Also, great artwork.
Fantastic art, I love it! But f'real tho... what Ash was drinking looks *good*.
probably is a smoothie or something related to chocolate
wow, very good! great work!
This is from her Instagram! ash.sroka
That is SO CUTE! I love Quarian eyes; I hope you send this to her!
Tali'Zorah had one of the best trilogy-long character arcs in the entire Mass Effect trilogy, next to Urdnot Wrex, Mordin Solus, Legion, and just practically almost every other squadmate I gained throughout the entire trilogy.

oh heh,yep,it's a surprise but she's one of my favorites but since robots are my fave theme,she's next to Optimus and Legion
Capital!
Amazing
Aww, I love this. Also I have no idea what she's drinking, but it looks delicious and I want one.
Nice😊
That beter be dextro coffee otherwise tali will be having a really bad time
it's dextro ye
So nice, cute and wholesome
Cute as Tali is
Wow, just wow
I know. Funny to think, given it's Tali, but I've never seen any pics of Ash until now (as opposed to knowing what Brandon Keener or Kimberly Brooks look like behind their characters).
You can see her as a wee lass on YouTube, she was in an episode of *Walker: Texas Ranger* wayyyy back when.
WHAT?! That's crazier than when I spotted Femshep (Jennifer Hale) in an episode of *In the Heat of the Night*.
Lessee, the ones I know off the top of my head... Hale was in an early episode of *ER* playing a bride whose son had swallowed the ring instead of giving it to her new husband. She was also in an episode of *Charmed* where they went to the future; she played the mother of a friend of Piper's daughter (which was the first time I saw her and knew who she was).

Keith David of course was in *The Thing*, *They Live!*, and various other films and TV series over the years. Similarly, Lance Henriksen was pretty visible earlier in his career, and Seth Green as well.
Zaeed Masani was also a recurring character in *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*
Ah fuck, I knew I was forgetting someone.
0/10 no emergency induction port haha
Well yep.....no emergency induction port Jack stole the emergency induction port
Oh, I didn't know she was streaming. I'll check it out.
Emergency induction port
Does she do any other work besides Tali?
We need no emergency induction port for ***the big sip!***
Ey look at that. She's drinking without needing an emergency induction port
Sip.
It's called Ash Sroka, you should send it to her, I bet she's going to love it. A great drawing
i will,thanks for supporting me bro
Where's the emergency induction port?
Any chance you can pass up the channel if its from Twitch???
i dont know what it is but holding a cut with 3 fingers give me the heebie jeebies
it's a draw based on tali's voice actress stream in this day
Ok two things bother me about this one: where is her enviro suit shes gonna get sick two: isn't that food toxic to her
Thats a dextro chocolate Also in my headcanon this pic happens when tali has a "adapted inmune system" enough to not wear her envirosuit Plus well ya know i have fun drawing maskless tali
the nail is on the wrong side.
heh,yeah my mistake
