Ah, Kim to the rescue!  Do I detect a little something other than altruism talking when you suggest Saren? Posted Image

What you detect there is the fact that I know details about Saren's past in the First Contact War will be revealed in Mass Effect: Evolution, and I know that I'll have to wait nearly two months to know anything about it, and even then I'll have to read it on the forums because who knows how long it'll be before the comics are sold in stores. So basically, lots of speculation, excitement, and wondering if any of my theories are right. But mostly, Saren. :D

To answer your question about Garrus, I got the feeling he was never in a serious relationship before Shepard, and by serious I mean a relationship with real plans for the future. I'm sure he's had a few short-term relationships, and plenty "sparring". He's so focused with his job (and of course, justice!) that I doubt he's ever been able to have a long-term relationship. Most women just aren't as awesome as Shepard to go along during Garrus' adventures, whether he's being a vigilante or a C-Sec officer who was very obsessed with helping people. Actually, I think Saren would have been the same way... except instead of "helping people" it was "planning revenge" and then "planning for the Reapers".

My FemShep is the type who could easily tell Garrus that she loves him and mean it, and she couldn't care less what people think about her dating a turian. She has no trouble with thinking about a future for them. Luckily, she didn't end up like her "brother" Shep, with the mentality that everything he loves will be killed (Colonist/Sole Survivor background). As for MainShep... well, I think you know about MainShep - loves Saren, told him that to his face, and has a lifelong grudge against anyone who insults or attacks him.

@Aeowyn: Child Saren. :D The mental images are just so adorable. As for his cybernetic eyes and geth arm, the cover of Revelation shows that he has all implants and cybernetics besides the geth arm and Reaper glow before he met Sovereign. The cover of one of the Evolution comics also has a picture of Saren, but I'm pretty sure it's from the Battle of the Citadel, rather than the First Contact War. (Saren!)

@Brass_Buckles: It should be obvious I meant their faces. I had the conversation where Ashley says "you say kiss a turian, I say which cheek" in mind. And this is why I try to change the topic before things go somewhere horrible.

@SavageLycan: That whole video was both hilarious and brilliant. xD

Dr. Michel's note if you complete her sidequests certainly does seem to indicate that Garrus was wedded to the job, and just never really bothered with serious relationships. No wonder why FemShep hits him in the face like a freight train. Poor guy. At any rate, I think it's pretty clear from the dialogue that while he does have genuine, strong feelings for Shep, he certainly didn't expect to develop feelings for her.



As for my Shep...I think she spent most of ME2 fooling herself that it was just a combination of stress and blowing off steam. She's pretty functional overall, and over most of the sources of trauma that Shep can face, but one of her outstanding issues is her trouble with the vulnerability that comes with intimacy. Garrus has helped immeasurably, but it'll take her a long time to say admit she loves him or even deal with him saying it. Of course, the game doesn't really address it so fanfiction will have to do, but I'm curious if I'll get to go anywhere with it in ME3.

While we're still on the subject of cross-species alien naughtiness, I JUST finished this video and uploaded it. Enjoy!

The most hilarious part of this video is the fact that you had Thane do the "I don't remember..." line.

...I'm actually still laughing and I finished watching about two minutes ago.

Well, your Shepard will probably have plenty of time to get used to the idea of Garrus saying "I love you," because he seems like the type who would have trouble with that sort of thing. He might not even realize it himself yet. But when he does, judging by the way he acts when real, strong emotions are involved during the romance scene, he'll basically stumble over his words. Poor guy. It's part of what makes his romance scene so adorable though.

And, what I imagine for MainShep and Saren...

Young MainShep: I love you, Saren! :D
Saren: ...I know.

I was laughing out loud through most of that video too. xD Most of all when Grunt said "Whee!"

Skyyyyyyy rocket in flight!
Grunt: BOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!

Afternoon delight!
Grunt: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

Ohhhh man...the Grunt animations were perfect. :lol:

By the way, Kim, it will be all your fault if I go to bed in a few minutes here and I have some kind of cracked out Star Wars/Mass Effect dream with Saren in a vest...and a really hairy Matriarch Benezia.

...What? xD I'm confused. But if Benezia tries to flirt with Saren, MainShep is killing her again.

Sounds like my dreams.  Not in content, mind you, but in cracked-ness. :blink:

@ Aeowyn:  Mmm...dat stare.  You could just as easily subtitle it as "Shepard, I want to ravish you against this bulkhead."  *sigh*  Why does my mind always drift of into the gutter when on this thread and NOT in the NSFW thread?  Why?

I had a dream of the Collector station being like that Dell commercial where they're singing Mr.Sandman or whatever the song is called while building the human Reaper. Now that was disturbing.

I know a Dell commercial where they're singing "Lollypop." xD Now I'm going to imagine the human Reaper being built to that song. Awesome.

He does kinda look like he's trying to undress you with his eyes, doesn't he?  Mmmm...hopefully I'll have dreams of that rather than lolipop song Collector Base monstrosities:pinched:

Though if I dreamed of an ad related to the Collector Base, it'd be the Old Spice ad.  Can't you just see it?

Harbinger: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.  THESE HUMANS ARE NOW DIAMONDS.
Shep: :sick:

Oh haha!

Now I'm getting the impression if Garrus used Old Spice, we'll hear Harbinger cackling in the shadows of the galaxy.

Jesus, it's 4 AM here.  I really should sleep soon.  Instead of waiting for my Steam download of Fallout 3 to finish and then staying up until 8 or something equally awful.

I agree that the stuff after fade-to-black really depends on everyone's Shepards. There are some people here who prefer to think Shepard and Garrus mostly cuddle before the final battle, and get to the rest after when they have more time and are very happy to be alive. On the subject of kissing turians, the human would probably be doing most of that. And turians have skin on their neck that looks more human-like, so Shepard can go for that if she doesn't want to kiss the metal plates. It's completely up to each Shepard. She could kiss Garrus on both cheeks if she wants to.


And now I have a horrible mental image of that after reading Sia's Persephone fic...

Turian butt cheek kissing.

Gee thanks Sia.

And Aeowyn, I'm totally with you.  There'd probably be some differences physically but... Really, why can't they just have sex and be done with it without the yowling, howling, purring, growling, etc.?  I know I've read love scenes with humans that didn't involve any of those--of course they were in literary rather than romance novels; I don't read romance, and perhaps this stuff is more common in that genre?  I have no idea.  (Edit:  The irony is I HAVE read romance fics, obviously, but romance novels?  Blah.)


Bioware started it!

Why can't they just have plain, normal sex? Lol. I think a lot of writers are so set on that "turians resembles raptors and therefore they're more animalistic than humans and that = rougher sex".
Sure they have claws and sharp teeth but I don't see why they can't just have sex that does not include bites, or growling, purring, scratching, howling (everytime I read that I imagine him going werewolf on Shepard in the middle of it).
Don't get me wrong, I love reading smut (but am too prude to write it, go figure), but I don't see why it has to be so "special" because they're different species.


If i wanted to have vanilla sex i would stick with Kaidan.

Hey, now.


But, that is an interesting comparison you just made, Aeowyn.  A lot of the stuff I've read Garrus doing is usually reserved for werewolves.  I really don't get that.

I always thought Garrus was sexy, even before i started reading all those weird fan fics. I think because he is an alien and he is both soft and cuddly and a bad ass, people (me)  want to see him dominate in sex but at the same time be caring. He is the whole Badass with a heart of gold kind of thing. He is really nice and sweet, but he has a dark side that he can't quite control. 

*looks up werewolf erotica*

I'm going to be busy for a while.

LOL.  I really wish I understood where the comparing him indirectly to werewolves comes from in fanon.
