Im Trying Come Up With Something They Could Be But Its Hard, Makes Me Wonder If Even BioWare Knows. But

I’m trying come up with something they could be but it’s hard, makes me wonder if even BioWare knows. But seriously my best guess, given what little we know about the protheans, is that the spheres were either some sort of drone or data server.

A drone because it seems to be able to alter it’s mass and that makes me think that it could be some device used to record information, able to adapt to it’s environment in a moment to better spy on others (or wathever the protheans used drones like that for).

But honestly it makes more sense to me that it was some sort of data server, given that even though it floats it doesn’t seem to move beyond its platform. So maybe it works to store information that can be transmitted by the beacons, or even information that is sensitive and must be isolated in the device. Given the protheans weird memory sharing abilities, I guess this could be it.

As for their pyramids I haven’t been able to come up with anything yet, but maybe they were special or tactical storage places. I have seen some theories that their designs made them think the pyramids are actually Inussanon in origin, I suposse that’s also a possibility.

Hi! Do you have theories or headcanons on what actually are those prothean spheres from ME1 and 2 and what they were used for?

You know, I don't! I haven't given a ton of thought to the protheans, to be honest. On one hand, I love having those little mysteries that will never be solved, but on the other, it's a cool worldbuilding and lore opportunity.

Do you have any thoughts on it?

Good Things Fall Apart | Chapter 18: Paroxysm

This is the longest chapter of anything I’ve ever written oops! But it’s also been a month between updates so I think technically it all evens out <3

excerpt;

There’s a sense of reversal as Victor recalls a moment they’d had on this very beach, of Benji reminding him it’s okay to look if he wants to. Victor takes a step toward him and reaches out a hand. Benji eyes it, wary, then allows Victor to pull him close. He takes Benji in his arms again, pressing their bare torsos together.

Victor takes a shuddering breath, Benji’s skin already cold from the air conditioning. Benji laughs, still shivering slightly, and then they both go quiet. There’s a profoundness in this, a pendulum that swings between innocence and something yet to be explored. All that sits between their two kindred cores is a layer of skin, some muscle, some bone. Victor thinks that he would be okay if Benji reached into his chest and clutched his heart in his hand—he would welcome it, even wishes for it. But Benji has already in some ways, hasn’t he? Since the moment their lips touched on a bench outside of Creekwood High, Benji has held Victor’s heart like a small, wounded animal in cupped hands.

So I didn’t post this right away since somebody already lifted the scripts off the original twitter posts, and I’ve been too busy being feral on twitter–but @dorito-with-no-weakness pointed out I have a decent following and some people may miss the other posts, so–

[15.19, 15.20 scripts]

We’ve been waiting on this to drop which was why we weren’t particularly upset about the auction.

The fact that a third of dabb’s script got omitted and then more got cut is godawful but it is what it is. Some peace on old things, some new questions on others, and a lot of “we been knew.”

I have this headcanon based on some pieces of lore that the Protheans saw potential in humans and wanted to give us biotic abilities just like they did (at least in part) to the asari, but that's because they planned to uplift humanity so we could be used as soldiers against the machines in the Metacon War. But when the Reapers arrived they abandoned this project to focus on the new war before giving humans the same gift they gave the asari, and instead focused on the latter. That's because unlike Earth, Thessia has abundant eezo sources around the planet wich could be used to quickly advance their technology, making them a safer bet to lead the next cycle against the Reapers. But if the Reapers hadn't arrived our species would be made natural biotics like the asari, and given a brief mention of the Leviathans forcing the scientists on Mahavid to study "the evolutionary implications of human biotics", maybe with time humanity will naturally surpass the asari in that aspect.

This is so good! Loved the “Cyberpunk 2077” style character profile! 10/10 absolutely amazing!
