I mostly reblog Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and sometimes Dead Space, Dragon Age. Ocassionally I post stuff about my OCs. Ronan Shepard [FC: Katee Sackhoff] is one them, but I should probably update this blog to my other OC, Ziva and her band of merry assholes.
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.
So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
Time to discuss Khelish! We’re lucky enough that we know some words and sentences from Khelish, unlike other alien languages that are still a bit of a mystery to us.

Aight, thought it might help some people to make their flights and overall airport experience more pleasant. I get it. It’s an always busy, kinda overwhelming place full of people and tacky, overpriced souvenirs.
Keep in mind that what I have is not some forbidden knowledge, but just… common sense, I think. And things I’ve gathered from my experiences as both passenger and an ‘insider’. Keep also in mind that some airport have different policies and levels of ‘uptightness’, so there’s that.
Overall theme of this list is gonna be ‘make life easier. for yourself and everyone around you.’
1. Get on time. I know, can be easier said than done sometimes, but it’s always safe to aim into the check-in opening hour, which is two hours before departure. ‘But Voooid’, I can hear, ‘What am I gonna do for two hours? Especially if I’ve checked in online and have no baggage to drop?!’ You might get stuck in traffic. You might forget your documents or boarding pass. You might get lost in the duty-free store or a different terminal. You might need to repack because you forgot you have dangerous goods with you or because your bag is too big/heavy. And then I can see you rushing towards the gate right after the boarding concluded and being denied access on board.
Always leave an error margin and the check-in opening hours are quite a safe bet. If you’re gonna get on time, congrats. Enjoy the shops and cafes, you have time to also get more info if necessary. Which brings me to my next point.
2. Ask questions. If you’re unsure of something, don’t hold it in. From my experience as a check-in/gate agent, I’d rather hear the same question a million times than have to deal with the consequences of passenger’s ignorance.
Every airport has an info desk, might have offices of certain airlines. The agents at check-in desks can also provide you with information as they most likely know the policies and regulations better than everyone else. Even if you think your question is stupid: ASK.
Don’t be like that lady from my previous story.
3. Don’t mention the word ‘bomb’ ever. Thanks to some assholes that made this world rather unsafe, the airports have to trigger happy when it comes to bomb threats. Don’t say anything about bombs out loud, honestly, don’t even think it. I don’t care how funny you think it is, trust me, it’s not gonna be funny when you’ll be slapped in the face with charges for a false bomb threat/alarm and escorted out in cuffs by the airport security or border guards themselves.
‘Buuut Void, it’s just a joke! ‘s just a prank!’, I can hear you saying again, but we don’t care. None of us. We’re obliged to report such incidents to the guards and we’re trained to not let such jokesters escape.
Best case scenario, a bombster jokester will have to pay big money for their clowning, worst case scenario… Well… The guards are trained to look for the bombs everywhere and entire MGSV would not have happened if one of the boys/gals was on board of that helicopter, if you know what I mean.
4. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BAGGAGE UNATTENDED. Seriously. You have to pee? Your kid has to pee? Take the baggage with you to the bathroom (but for the love of god, do not pee on it). You have to pay a fine because you forgot to check-in online? Take your baggage to the ticket desk.
The check-in agent doesn’t count as ‘baggage attendee’. See the trigger happy comment above. We don’t know what’s in there. Might be just clothes, might be a month worth of salmon (happened), but might be something dangerous in there. Like, well, a bomb.
Leave the bag long enough and it’s gonna be attended by border guards. Wait for a bit longer and the entire terminal will be evactuated. Just because you had to pee and left your bag by the check-in.
Oh yeah, and your baggage is gone now. Destroyed by the minesweepers. And you have to pay for their intervention. And possible delays.
Anyway, I think I’m gonna split this post in a couple of parts as it’s getting long anyway. Let me know if you’d like more and ask me anything about airports if ya have specific questions.
Admiral Hackett: Shepard, we need this tactical nuke diffused Shepard: I’d love to, Admiral, but we don’t have anyone with that kind of experti- Admiral Hackett: Thanks, buddy! Hackett out.
