fuck me up
to stop bein a little snot & chill tf out
i’m only kind of serious about the chilling out thing. i’m actually terrible at giving advice. but i think that sometimes kaidan needs a reminder that the good thing to do isn’t necessarily the right thing to do, and vice versa. sometimes i think he gets so caught up in his own sense of morality that it leaves him at a loss of how to proceed. it wasn’t necessarily the morally right thing to do, killing vyrnnus, not that it was as much of a choice as it was out of impulse and self defense, but it was either that or he could have potentially continued to abuse his students and push them far beyond their physical and mental capabilities (i also headcanon that kaidan had been given red sand but thankfully got the place shut down before he had grown addicted; that might have changed if things hadn’t happened the way they did). i think it’s just the fact also that rahna and his other classmates were so vehemently opposed (and terrified) of what he’d done that it left him utterly shaken. but it’s also weighing the two evils and kaidan never really got the chance to do it before things happened the way they did. but a large part of kaidan, even though you’ll have a hard time getting him to admit to it, still thinks that maybe if he’d had better control of himself in the past, things could have ended civilly. he could have found a way.
but then there’s also counselor udina, assuming that kaidan was the one who took the shot --- which leaves him wondering whether it was the right thing to do. could he have convinced udina to come in quietly? or would he have brought more harm to the other counselors or to anyone else in the area?
and then the thing with cerberus is just another giant clusterfuck in his head entirely. if i had the time i could probably write a whole thing about that tbh lmfao.
b u t yeah in conclusion a little reminder every now and again couldn’t do the dude too much harm.
