I Need The Liara Body Pillow In My Life

In the immortal words of Taylor Swift, “Drop everything now!”. While Swift’s next line on the underrated Speak Now might have been “meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain,” it might well have been “BioWare has just released a Liara body pillow,” because folks, BioWare has just revealed a Liara body pillow. I’ve never understood body pillows until now, but pretty soon I might be the proud (and maybe just a little bit ashamed) owner of one.

There are two primary reasons a person might own a body pillow. The first is for lumbar support or some other issue with posture, injury, or ease of sleeping. Their tubed shape over the flatter, wider shape of a regular pillow, means they can be more comfortably held in certain positions. The second reason people own a body pillow is so they can put them through a hot wash after each use before they get all crusty.

It’s for neither of these reasons that I want the Liara body pillow. Honest. It’s really for the kitsch value. Body pillows are mostly known primarily for that second reason, despite most often being used for the first. Off-brand body pillows have gotten increasingly sexual and explicit, to the point where there were several body pillow booths at Gamescom that needed to be covered up with paper because they were so explicit. The paper was see-through. It did not work.

Even though they rarely need a hot wash before they get crusty, body pillows are synonymous with it, and that makes it quietly amusing to own one. Liara is my favourite Mass Effect character and in my main Mass Effect run, I romance Liara in the first game, stay loyal to her the second game by
