Thinking about Garrus again and how much I appreciate his character, his development, his search for perspective and how it shapes his relationship with Shepard.
He always wants to do the Right Thing, as in Achieve X Positive End Goal, but the way there is so murky to him. So tough to navigate, to visualize. He likes when it's clear and when it's simple, but it simply never fucking is, so he has to Think It Through. And he simply cannot trust anyone else to do the thinking for him. He can't trust them to value the Right Thing as much as he does. He can't trust them to want it as badly.
and then, ENTER SHEPARD STAGE LEFT, and finally he finds someone that he can trust. With all of it. He can Tell she wants it just as badly, but the difference is, she seems to also have an idea of how to get there.
I've seen people complain that he has no backbone and just agrees with whatever Shepard says, and it's like… they don't get it. He needs someone in his life who he can trust to think things through with him, to meet him where he's at and to engage in good faith. She is the Only person he would ever cede to, the only authority he'll accept, because she has proven herself to care just as much as he cares.
(As a side note, that's also how I view his infamous elevator talks. He's not approaching these conversations closed-mindedly even if his word choice is often lacking or people take offense to his straight-forwardness. As I said, the path is murky for him. He's asking because he genuinely wants to know. He's practically desperate for another point of view. He wants to understand.)
He's the only character who constantly asks Shepard for her opinion on things, on morality issues and approaches and how she'd navigate all the little pitfalls that line the road to Justice. And over the games he recognizes that even this lofty end goal is anything but simple, and it's shaped by how they get there. He doesn't talk these things through with her just to follow her direction like a soldier following orders. Him accepting her response, no matter what it is, is him respecting her so much and believing so much in her true desire for achieving Justice - it's not blanket agreeing with her.
This happens so often in ME3: he'll ask, and she'll respond, and he will accept her answer without judgement, but you never hear him say "you're so right, o my moral compass". He's just mapping the path that's ahead, and he takes her opinion as much into account as his own, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own or that it always aligns with hers. He wants the full picture, and at that point, he is humble enough to know that his opinion is subjective, so he needs more points of view and more intel, and there is none that he values more than Shepard's.
But it's not all for himself. They're both stuck in the same, horrible situation. He's asking her, and in turn she has to think about it and really consider all the pitfalls he's already identified but isn't sure how to approach. He's a safe sounding board for her. They think it through together, her as this unstoppable force towards the Right Thing, him as the one in the sniper's perch who sights the path ahead and calls out to her when there's a wall before she can run head-first into it. In the end, they're two people united in their striving for the same thing, two halves of a well-oiled machine. No Shepard without Vakarian.
Boutta check in my brutal honesty autism card and say that Hobie's big ass crush on Gwen was NOT subtle at all,he was being so classic 'cocky flirty punk dude' with her and gave her his sweater to borrow which is like the biggest unspoken 'i wanna be your boyfriend' move in the book,and neither was the (probably) accidental subtext of him liking Miles too that follows 'edgy and hardcore boy who's actually a huge softie has a thing for the cutesy and innocent ray of sunshine and is more protective and complimentary towards them than he is anyone else to show it' to a fuckin' T4T and the only reason people don't read it as either is that he's super handsome so they decided that meant he's a grown man instead of the cute lil black boy he is
purposefully not trying to think of that quote from "role model" where cameron is not-so-subtly comparing house to god and house says the only reason people pray is so god doesn't crush them like bugs and then tells her "i'm not going to crush you." and then he did. but also no he didn't.
because in the last moments of cameron's goodbye scene in s6 where he starts to run after her (whether to beg her to come back, to yell at her, insult her, or some combination of the three) he stops. and lets her go in a final moment of kindness
Stories abt teenage girls who are unabashedly cringey but still treated seriously as the hero of their stories and given depth and nuance by the narrative I am kissing you on the mouth
😫Never felt this single in my whole life this show got me squealing so bad ..
The chemistry is so freakin good that they watered the deserts, fed the famished, give sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf. They literally parted the seas, eradicated poverty and shifted the axes. It literally changed lives.

🤌🏼The Standard 🤌🏼
I honestly don't know how I'm surviving getting through this show. Maybe I'm not and I'm speaking from the grave. Every scene between Guwon and Sarang has my heart racing and I'm squealing like a Weirdo. THE EYE CONTACT, THE CHEMISTRY, THE BANTER. I'm OBSESSED like hell. I don't know how I will survive their dating era.
I have always had my eyes on junho. I knew he was sexy but I didn't know he was this SUBTLE FLIRTING KING AND I'MMA STARE YOU UNTIL YOU MARRY ME KINDA SEXY!!!!????! I'm literally done with this man. N I'm Planning to sue him for the irreparable damage he has done to my brain.
I have MOREEE, okay so you've already said a lot of sexy shit BUT I do have somethings to say lol.
I like your view on it and I've never thought about Trans scara but that's so hot (not fetishizing.) I do think scara is a little fucking brat and doesn't take too well to orders so he'll be a little brat about it. So you'll have to put him in his place, tie him down and rub his little clit raw, he'll be crying and screaming but it doesn't matter keep going (he's got a safe word) spit in his mouth and slap his cheek.
Now onto Wanderer, now I personally see him as pretty dominant. I feel like he likes to be in control and he will be, he'll have on your back with a leg in the air as he fucks into you, two fingers down your throat with the other gripping your hips, I'd say he's pretty handsy and can be soft but it's common for him to be frustrated so you'll be what he takes it out on... well more your pussy/ass anyway
NOW THE THREESOME!!! I kinda picture it like you fucking scara he's on his back with a strap, while Wanderer fucks you from behind. Wanderer has a hand around your throat while he whispers to keep fucking Scara cause if you stop... he stops too and you know you wanna cum, right?
-puppet anon (also the ask sent before I finished it lol)
Akfsjcjsj yes the only way to get the brat out of Scaramouche is to overstimulate him and rough him up a little. I think that despite him being small he's very strong, on account of the whole puppet thing, so his grip strength is insane. Still, if you're heavier than him it's not difficult to overpower him, pin him down and make sure he can't budge while you have your fun. Finger him open gently with one hand, while the other slaps his inner thighs whenever he tries to close his legs. Watch his sweet cunt clench and drool all over your fingers even if he's pretending he doesn't like what you're doing, and give his pussy a swift hit if he gets too out of line, make sure to hit his pretty clit to watch it swell and peek out from its hood. He just needs to be domesticated a little.
I love the threesome idea too 👀 you have to keep moving and fucking yourself onto Scara even though your legs are shaking and about to give out, because you're super close and Wanderer won't let you cum if you stop moving....
