First off, I just want to be clear that this is not an attempt by me to make anyone feel bad about what ending they chose. This is just me exorcising my demons. =D

I was never able to properly explain in words why I found the synthesis option in mass effect 3 so repulsive... so, here is a picture about how I feel instead. Of course I had to do it in the most disturbing way possible. If I have to see this sort of crap in my head then I'm going to share it so we can all suffer a little, lol. Also, this will probably be the only time you see me draw babies. Ever.

Started this about five months ago, then shelved it... figured I should finish it up before I get too involved in other things. Painted in SAI and then fiddled with in CS?.

Edit: cleaned things up a little and darkened the human babe. Looks better now me thinks.

I totally understand your point. I mean, Shepard's final goal is to maintain life and organics from the reapers... synthesis is like letting the reapers win. You destroy life itself as it is known. You destroy everything you were fighting for

Oh and one more thing:
someone once described ME 3's choices as:

Mass Molestation
Mass Slavery
and Mass Genocide

personally i am still not satisified with ME 3. I mean with Citadel dlc its ehhh ok. Its a good ish game. A lot better than ME 1 (Only because of Citadel dlc) but still not better than ME 2 because the three choices are so terrible such crap and extended cut didnt make them any better, if anything they made them worse

In every ending Shepard SHOULD live so im not talking about that. The Reapers have more than the technology to bring Shepard back to life with a snap of their fingers so as where most people hate the endings for that im not, its just lazy as fuck terrible writing and Bioware being lazy as shit that even a basic programmer can and HAS done

moving along:
Synthesis is like molestation, as other people say, because ur forcing everyone to be half machine. Do you think every single person in the galaxy wants that? If so ur a fucking idiot cause i'm not the only person 'Spooner cautious' (and if u dont know what thats from kiss it to quote N.C) about machines and theres enough people out there despising machines especially in the Mass Effect universe but NOPE your all part machine now regardless of whether u like it or not and it still has the Reapers floating around. I'm sorry but after they tried to wipe out all life in the galaxy NO there can't be peace with them! I dont care if Shepard tries to make them lovable hugging spaceship squids, they still tried to wipe out all life and killed billons to trillons. There can be NO PEACE with them and people just dont seem to understand this. A race that can kill billons, has killed billons, and can kill billons more whenever they want is not a good option!!

Control pretty much has the same problem except the difference is its even worse since there is no guarentee the Reapers wont just slaughter everything. In Synthesis u got some space magic bullshit trying to keep them under control but here u just got Shepard Reaper and Shepard Reaper becomes much more dark with this, threatening to kill anyone that harms the galaxy. Yeah im sorry but a Toltarian figure.. Dictator figure... someone watching over others trying to police them enforcing their will on them, that's never really gone well and its still no going well in our world. It's like saying: "I can kill you at any time i want but i am going to keep u alive so i can watch u and make sure u obey me"

its because of that, that Destroy is the best ending. Now granted i hate that u have to kill EDI and i am saddened by that cause i started to like her a lot but i think she makes a worthy sarcfice and could probably just be rebuilt cause deuerrrr thats kinda what u do with machines but regardless she made a worthy sacrifice to save countless lives. As for the Geth i've always had a deep hatred for them and only liked Legion so i could care less about them. I know everyone loves to get blinded by the mindless Geth Fanatic that hijacked ME 3 and wrote it as his own fan fiction but NO. I still remember ME 1 and 2, nothing ME 3 says will change that. I still remember them worshiping Reapers and trying to blow my head off and blast me apart every time i try to negotiate with them at all so in my mind no they are Terminators and with the exception of Legion they must be destoryed

but those are just all my feelings and beliefs

i think everything that is wrong with Synthesis can be shown in this one picture. Frankly i think this almost stimulates "Control" better but this works too ah
in my mind Destroys the only real opion

As much as i love the geths and EDI i didn't really like the Synthesis option, idk chaging everyone into half-organics, half-synthetics (without their consent)... I prefer destruction option because i wanted to destroy those freaking Reapers once and for all :XD:

I picked synthesis at first, but after a lot of consideration, I usually pick destroy. All the endings leave a pretty bitter taste in my mouth though.
