A question for the new year:

Is there anybody else here that's supposed to be dead?

I haven't seen my movie yet, but others have told me about it, and death by way of poisoning and flamethrower immolation is much more exotic than I would have imagined for myself, even on a moon light-years away from earth.

I've seen some of them, not by choice.

It wouldn't change anything there, because with the knowledge we have about the Tesseract, timelines and alternate universes, there are infinite parallels that are happening for each and every one of us at this moment, and our lives haven't stopped simply because we're here. So you likely wouldn't be able to change anything, since the probability of knowing your future or having memories from this place is unlikely. It's already happened.

	Would you care to explain that? I'm not going to try to think through all of that crap, especially if, like you said, it doesn't matter anyway. But hypothetically speaking, I wouldn't change the things that happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People make... um. Gifs, of my death. Okay,. That's the kind of death most people strive for, I think. No regrets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

For entertainment? If we're supposed believe that we're all from movies and books and games, then our existence is all about entertaining others. Which is really sad because we're real people, but that still doesn't make it right. I'm sorry.

Don't get me wrong-- there are things in my life that I regret, but I don't regret doing what eventually got me killed. I don't know if there's much of a distinction to make, but I like to think that there is.

It's all right. I've been here a while, and most of my crew is here. I imagine it's harder on my Commander to deal with people, since he's a little more recognizable than a few of us who were aliens before we came through the Tesseract.

That's exactly what I meant, so I agree with there being a distinction. If I had died in the places that I was meant to? I wouldn't have regretted them either. They make me sad to see because of knowing what I was leaving behind, ~~but in one case it was following the complete destruction of my people and I couldn't~~ but I wouldn't have changed anything about following Shepard across the galaxy.

I haven't had much problem with that, but I'm not sure that many people care about my movie. What planet do you come from?

I think that's the hardest part-- knowing what you do leave behind. And I think that some people are experiencing that here, the people who are alone or don't have friends here, even though they have perfectly happy lives in the places that they came from. None of it's really very fair.
