Us Jaalicle Cats are the best. This is the best.

I'm not sure if I'm going to headcanon my Ryders as 22, it feels bit too low for me. I mean I get it's canon or stuff, but I don't need to care about that

At first I didn't realise his piercings then when I found them, well...



Now I want him to have tattoos... ohhhhh boi

I would dare say that he is a more seasoned person than say the Ryder twins. Clearly he is "someone" among his people, considering the way he approaches Ryder, and usually something like that comes with a bit more age and experience.

But I'm just saying this because yeah I really do like older guys.

Omg okay but. Imagine Jaal trying to convince himself that it's just, y'know, curiosity. They're from another galaxy after all! It only makes sense that he would want to learn everything he could about this mysterious "Pathfinder". And besides, it's his job to keep an eye on him, so it's only natural that he watches his every move and basically follows him around. Right? Yeah, totally. And Ryder being kinda weirded out by this new alien who seems to not trust him at all and has no social skills (because of course Jaal is awkward af around Ryder, I mean, how do you even talk to aliens from another galaxy? Right? That's the only reason, nothing else), which must be the reason he's being bombarded with questions. And after a while he realizes that Jaal is actually just interested. And teases him about it. 

Or Jaal being jealous of Ryder's flirting (or even like one-offs? Because we know those will be in the game?) with other people but not admitting it to himself, and playing it off as "We have an important mission, we don't have time for your flirting, Ryder." and when Ryder flirts with him, he's just baffled, like, why is this small alien person- is he- no way. And then he realizes he was just jealous the whole time. 

OR Ryder saving Jaal's life in an important mission and Jaal being like. Wow. I didn't know he could do that. And boom, respect. Or vice versa and Jaal suddenly realizing he actually cares a lot about this weird alien ape and trying to focus on the mission and ignore it, but obviously failing whenever Ryder is around. But still keeping quiet about it and doing everything he can to protect Ryder? Maybe after a sacrifice or two Ryder is finally like, what are you doing? You can't jeopardize the mission! and Jaal admitting he did it to save Ryder. And just. Quiet understanding.

and then ALL the bang

(or who knows maybe Jaal would be very straightforward and be like "damn" and Ryder freaking out because what? Alien? New Galaxy? Pink cat squid? There wasn't a briefing for this- but he's also kinda intrigued because Jaal is mysterious and kinda intimidating but in a good way and suddenly he can't stop thinking about him)


((or it could be the other way around and Ryder being super straightforward and Jaal being like what? And trying to ignore it but also being slightly amused and reciprocating every now and then just for the sake of seeing his reaction and then of course, he realizes he actually has feelings for Ryder)) 

Talking about his age got me studying his face more closely and not only is there a scar, but it's like he's actually missing a chunk of flesh! The piercings are a huge reminder of Thane btw.

Yeah look at the toy of him. It has it too.

omg you're right. It's even on the toy, how did I not see that?? 
And of course being Jaal trash my two immediate reactions are 

1- Damn that's a pretty cool scar <insert gif of Garrus's comment about men with scars> 
2- JAAL MY POOR BBY SON 

Btw guys, I think the woman left behind Jaal is really pretty.
They are all so pretty. Why are the Angaran so pretty?
And on his toy it almost looks like paint beneath his lips.
Like pink eye (lip) shadow...
I wonder if they paint their faces *_*
The markings on the womens heads I think thats a veil/hat like piece of fabricwith embroidery on it.
