I miss Our Life so much. I haven’t really let myself think about it for a while because it got associated with some Bad Things for me personally, which is why I haven’t really written for it in a long time.

But boy howdy I have a big thing in my head that will not let go. How is the fandom in 2026? Are we in a place where we can acknowledge that some things that would be toxic in real life can be a little bit fun for a little bit of pretend?

#i'm also wondering how alive the fandom is #been like 2 years since I played it and I didn't really engage in the fandom then #but now im obbsessed with it again #I really need people to ramble about it to #currently Baxter mostly #our life #olba

Just thinking about Baxter learning piece by piece, over weeks and months and years, that during that one summer when he was 19, he was important to you.

Not a pretty little flicker, fun for the moment and forgotten about after it was over. That he'd managed to weave himself into your universe, even when he was sure he didn't have the ability.

Like a few weeks after Jude and Scott's wedding, you invite him out for drinks with the gang and you order a peach bellini and shoot him a little knowing wink. Sometime that fall you're picking the music while he drives and you put on one of those old screamo songs he liked back then and you tease him about it.

You can tell him over and over that you cared for him then, that you care for him now, that you would have been in his life in all the time between had he just able to believe that you wanted to be. He'll hear it all, he'll listen, he'll treasure every word, but he's been underwater for so long, it's hard for it to truly sink in. It feels good, but it also feels tentative, at least at first. Too fragile.

It's in those little things, the pieces of proof that that summer left an imprint on you as much as it did on him, that settle him over time. It's in jokes about khaki shirts, the reflection of the fireworks in your eyes on New Years Eve and the way that, when you look at him, he knows you're thinking about that first night you watched them together, because he knows you well enough now to know what you’re thinking.

And he knows that, since that very first summer, you’ve known him.

i always think about aria t’loak describing garrus as an idealist.

she‘s right, of course, but it matters to me that it was said. it‘s so easy for someone to overlook his primary motivation between the gritty-vigilantism, tortured-misfit notes of his story and his tendency towards unapologetic observation and realist commentary and, well, gunfire. so easy to say he’s just a cynic and that he likes violence a little too much, and that’s it.

to someone like aria, who is an actual cold and calculated person mostly concerned with power, archangel is so obviously not like her or most other people on omega. it‘s plain as day for her to see. he is a man driven by very lofty ideals. it‘s not about power or personal gain. he relies on violence to achieve his goal and is largely uncompromising about that, that much is true, but it’s so crucial that it was always about how he thinks the universe should be: a better place. a just place. a place where there’s less hurt and corruption, where people who do harm don’t get away with it for years.

i think that is the most important thing you have to understand about his character and arc. and i appreciate that the game plainly states it. garrus can be as jaded and as angry and as violent as he wants—and you can argue about his methods, of course—all of it is still because he‘s an idealist in a very unforgiving, unjust galaxy. he would act completely differently if he wasn‘t.

resist the urge to self-isolate, girl. people want you around. people don't think you're faulty. you're allowed to be wrong and make mistakes and missteps and people won't reject you for it. don't self-isolate. nobody in your life wants you to self-isolate. don't do it.
