Imagine the aliens of the Normandy crew absolutely confused and terrified over human birthday traditions

Liara with a very strained smile as the humans scream-sing a weird song ritualistically at her

Wrex threatening that if anyone even thinks about blindfolding him and purposely disorienting him to play some weird game called ‘Pin the Tail on the Pyjak’ he will murder them

Garrus trying to be polite but getting more and more overwhelmed what with all the noisemakers, the setting food on fire and Shepard vehemently insisting he wear the weird Cone Hat 

James getting way too excited and hanging up a

piñata and screaming “Hit the

piñata Tali! Beat it! BEAT THE PIÑATA!!” and Tali is just sobbing that she doesn’t know what kind of animal a

piñata

is but she definitely doesn’t want to kill it with a stick and eat its innards

I was reading about indoctrination theory but I don’t actually remember the original ending.

You find out about Starfucker, he does the bare minimum job of explaining what’s going on. You choose one of three options and get a slightly different animation of Shepard killing themselves. There’s an identical explosion in red, blue or green that makes the reapers turn that color. Then the mass relay explodes, in the same color. Inexplicably, the Normandy is seen trying to outrun your colored explosion. Fade to black. The Normandy is now crash landed on some random planet, with everyone inside. If you chose synthesis now everyone glows. The end.

I’m not being cute here and blunt for the sake of comedy, that was literally it.
