I heard this audio on tiktok and immediately thought of Shepard when you initiate the romance with Garrus 😅

Audio is from game grumps

Shepard paused, then shrugged. “Humans can be weird about sex, I didn’t know if turians were the same.”

Garrus went to stand at the window, rubbing a hand on the back of his neck.

“Of course you don’t know, just like I don’t know…anything about human sex.”

“We could…teach each other?”

His head snapped around at that. Shepard sat at the edge of the bed, one leg hanging down, the other pulled up, her arm wrapped around it. In the soft, early morning light of Palaven’s sun, her skin almost seemed to glow, her red hair, longer now then back when he had first met her, hung in messy waves just past her shoulders. The expression she wore…trusting green eyes piercing his, a slight red color staining the tops of her cheeks, lips set in a determined line. She was somehow both soft and hard all at once. Not even nerves could mask her natural confidence. But she didn’t say anything else. She was waiting for him.

Say no, Vakarian. Tell her you can’t. We can’t. This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea.

He repeated the thought several times but it wasn’t enough to stop his traitorous feet. They were already carrying him back to her.

WIP for a Shakarian AU fic I am working on. It’ll be my second fanfic ever, and I had made a goal to go for 60,000 words and start posting in Jan of 2024. Wish me luck 🍀

I think Garrus should win not only because I love Garrus but because Kirby is from a vastly better known source material and it would be hilarious if Garrus beat them

One of the best parts of the Mass Effect fandom is when an 800 lb. alien experiment came out of the tank that raised him to be the ultimate killing machine and held us up by our throat before speaking his first words in the digitally-deepened voice of Steve Blum - a middle-aged man who, respectfully, sounds like he gargles cigarettes - we all looked at that and collectively said:

“MY SON. MY BABY BOY. It’s hard being a parent but it’s a role I accept DO YOU NEED JUICE BOXES MY LARGE CHILD???”

[Wrex voice]: Shepard wants to f-ck you so bad it makes her look stupid

It's an incredibly personal thing, being a mako enjoyer, you see

A new challenger has entered the arena

like, the most compelling ships for me always stem out of one thing: the characters have a profound, ongoing effect on each other’s senses of selves. when they are apart, the characters’ actions are still affected by each other. the way they approach the world changes because of the other. 

which is this deeply Austenian view of ideal romantic relationships as mechanisms by which we come to know ourselves better and become better versions of ourselves. good romance, for me, is always tied in with a sense of self-actualization, and the way in which a beloved partner allows a person to know themselves better.

every time I see a Kaidan “face claim” I die a little inside, because he already has one. He was literally modelled after a real person. His name is Luciano Costa.

and he cosplayed Kaidan once
