Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

That would actually be a really neat callback without being a repetition. Instead of Dr. Lexi giving you health and safety tips for your sexual escapades, you walk in and hear your love interest asking her about how to do it safely with humans, like Jaal since he is unfamiliar with our species.

*squee*

OMG in that case then I can so imagine Lexi really sweetly but uncomfortably trying to give healthy and safety tips to Jaal without going into too much detail, since Vetra is present, but Jaal keeps pressing, because of unfamiliarity and concern   

 I am having too much fun with these headcanons

Vetra suggests Lexi put up a noticeboard saying she isn't a Sex Ed walk in over the Med-Bay door 

Oh, that could be hilarious!   And poor Jaal realizing it from her expression and going "... Ryder's standing right behind me, isn't s/he..." and slowly turning a deep shade of purple.

Lexi does a thorough examination of Jaal before he's allowed to do anything with Ryder because hey, this is a brand new alien and his skin could be literally poison to humans for all we know!

Now I'm picturing her following Jaal around the ship trying to run random tests on him and he's just so done. I hope she's one of those earnest types.

I think that would be adorable and hilarious. Where Mordin goes straight into it in detail like nothing is wrong with talking about it, Lexi can be all uncomfortable and bashful about it but also wanting to help, so does things like stammer over her words and trying to stay vague but helpful.

You made me think of the scene in the Avengers when Tony and Bruce are talking and Tony surprise pokes Bruce with an electric prod and stares at him to see Bruce's/Hulk's reaction. 

I have a grudge against The Clone Wars for turning one of my fav characters - General Grievous - into a joke... he was such a badass in the old, non-CGI cartoon, plus I love cyborgs and things with more than two arms... Ok, I know my tastes are weird. 

I mean, when isn't it a good time to watch TCW, Rebels or Star Wars in general?

It really wouldn't make much sense for a doctor to stammer over medical advice though.  I like the idea of the archetype, maybe she's shy about personal relationships.  It would make her unusual for an Asari.

Poor Drack, he doesn't get any love. Admittedly I probably won't like any Krogan that comes down the pike as much as I did Wrex, but still, I would do that if it were an option.

Not sure why any of it has to be ouch? For an alien to take interest in a human, and vice versa, there kind of has to be a deeper bond there than sexual attraction to get that bit started. If it would be painful to have conventional sex, I'm sure the characters in question can come up with some other "activities" that would be just as gratifying. I definitely don't put near as much thought into how my characters are getting it on as I do the mental connection they have though . 

By the same token I would think that Jaal is a comfortable lay. He may have been designed that way... . My only complaint with his design is his chin is tiny. I will hit that though as it has become a standard for me to only romance aliens and I dig most of his design. But in all honesty I am just butthurt that I don't have Garrus #2 because nothing beats that male turian design. I can't explain it. I know they're kind of on the skinny side, but damn, I mean my boyfriend is too so maybe I just swing that way.
