>>53602066my gut reaction is that it can be really fucking hard to convey what something's supposed to look like in a purely textual format, but that might be due to the story I'm currently reading
The Catalyst For Revenge, a mass effect fanfic I was certain was one of the dime a dozen "humans destroyed by the council then they get REVENGE" stories, but turned out to be over a million words focusing on the Reapers and the Cycle itself over the course of several cycles, a consequence of which is that there are many species that only get a name and a few pertinent details, but no detailed description, so they kinda just blend together
The Fedochi, a species from the cycle after Humanity's
in the Large Magellanic Cloud started out as big pigeon-like bird people in my head, then kinda just became the Cabal from destiny then flipped between the two thereon
Might not be as big a problem as I'm making out to be, but its definitely one I've been thinking on alot
