Finally calling this ME1 illustration. My headcanon has always been that my Shepard had a crush on Garrus in ME1 that she was completely oblivious to until after both Liara and Kaiden made it clear they were into her. She did some serious self reflection after realizing two of her crew members had assumed she was flirting with them when she was just trying to be nice and get to know them. Eventually this lead her to the realization that she Had been trying to flirit— just not with either of them.
she would do precisely nothing with this information until ME2
where she goin
Remembering when I pissed two older Mass Effect fans off because I put Kaidan on a pedestal (even though I was making a joke and observation about Garrus and Liara) and tbh, it just made me appreciate Kaidan more and put him on a higher pedestal.
He’s such a good man and is the only character who hasn’t pissed me off at least once. The most I’ve ever gotten with him was fustrated, but that’s not even his fault, it was Bioware’s because I wanted to see him more but Bioware didn’t let him rejoin the Normandy until waaay into game 3. The Horizon moment doesn’t make me mad, at the most, it just made me feel sad and work harder to get him back by putting a chastity belt on Shepard and rushing through game 2 so I could see him again.
I don’t see what’s not to like about him. There’s only complaints that he’s “boring” but he’s not boring. He’s human. He wears his heart on his sleeve, let’s you know exactly what’s up when he’s thinking about something, his emotional reactions when he sees blatant wrongdoing, how he felt as though he couldn’t trust the woman he loved because she did something that went against his strong morals and values and couldn’t just blindly follow her, but still couldn’t stop himself from loving her. He then learned to trust her again and waited for her, asking her if she’d still have him again, as a crew member and a lover, despite what happened, and told her he’d never doubt her again, seeing her in action again and seeing for himself that she never lost herself.
He’s just such a great man.
