Oh, oh! Other brilliant idea just occurred to me. Since you like making your characters jump through flaming hoops, why not destroy and RP as being so exhausted/angry/temporarily insane that you just make the snap decision (out of weakness or... whatever).

Then, you get to write a nice long yarn about how tortured and haunted that Shepard will be for that decision for the rest of his days.

Shepley forever. 

(Is there a one word for miranda/Shep?  Shepanda or mirley both sounded weird...)

Don't look at me, that's jtav's hangup. If he had to, my Shep would throw everyone to the meat grinder apart from Miranda and Kasumi.

Fortunately I have the much more desireable path of Control ahead of me.

Except I am utterly opposed to Destroy.

I know what the right thing is. The personal price just sucks. So I'm empathizing a bit too strongly with Shep and dreading the sacrifice.

Bah. The right thing...

Close off the possibility of peace between quarians/geth (through no fault of Shepard's). Maybe lose Legion in the SM or decide it's too dangerous to activate and space it (or turn it in to Cerberus)- valid reasons for both. Or go the more subtle route and get just under the "points you need" to have the chance of peace (playing with loyalties/heretic decison).

Pick the quarians in the confrontation.

Destroy with a clear conscience.

High EMS Refuse needs to be an option.

Why can't the happy, sunshine and bunnies be a real ending? Is it cliche? yeah. But it's what I was fighting for. It's what I slaved away for 2 and 9/10's games for.

Just like an ending where the Reapers definitively win (not some, "they get killed in the next cyle" BS, but a definitive Reaper victory where they continue the cycle forever.)

Better yet, why couldn't we have had an ending that was decided by our actions over the last 2.9 games? Make war assets work like the Normandy upgrades in ME2. And be able to deploy them, and have consequence for each deployment.

Until that time, if it ever comes, Shepard knows that the Reapers must be destroyed. No amount of knowledge or information is worth the Reapers or the talking glowsticks crimes. The tube will always be shot. It's a genuine shame that EDI and the Geth must die, but it's the only way to send the Reapers back to hell. Shepard conscious rests easy knowing that the Reapers are definitively dead. EDI, if she was there, would have wrestled the gun from Shepard's hand and shot the pipe herself. It's an absolute no-brainer. For Shepard, it was the easiest decision he ever made. I just plain don't trust control, and synthesis, well I say this:

Evolution has no inherent intent or destination - therefore no pinnacle. Therefore Synthesis is logically incorrect on that base alone.

Plus I have yet to have a synthesist tell me how "Shepard's life energy, the essence of who he is" works. That sounds pretty mystic to me. And mysticism isn't science. And what does that mean for synthesis?

Win.

High EMS Destroy.  Exactly what you describe.  Even a HIGH EMS refuse ending wouldn't be as happy as you'd still have to actually fight the reapers for 6 months(there's thousands of them in every solar system) and millions more would die in the process of that, INCLUDING MIRANDA!

Because ART.

Shoot that tube.

[lillitheris]

Shepanda sounds awesome, actually, but I’m claiming that for FShep…

…

Edit: anyway, it’s easy to get past the geth/EDI thing in Destroy, and it requires only minor fudging, nothing like Synth does. That’s what I did.

Edit2: actually, somewhat relatedly; as I (may?) have mentioned, my Miranda is currently a bit lost with no clear mission at hand. I wondered if she’d be interested in the geth, but it doesn’t seem like something to spark her interest even if it might be an interesting challenge.

I have 13,475 WA. 

I haven't played MP in about 2 weeks, and my EMS is down to like 70% I still have over 7000 EMS.

I should be able to get whatever damn ending I want.

Besides, I RP that a few Reapers survive and vow vengeance on the galaxy. Ask Taboo about my idea's. Sorry if I always defer to taboo, I just hate repeating all the stuff I've come up with, and he's likes the idea's, so he'll be good for talking with.

I always have trouble headcanoning stuff that blatantly goes against what is actually SHOWN in game. I know other people do it, but usually my head canon has to simply augment what is shown on-screen (I used to do mental gymnastics with the original ending to get my shepley reunion, the EC made it so much easier).

So yeah, all the reapers are DED in my headcanon, because that's what shown. Also, apparently Miranda died because I DON'T GET A SLIDE FOR HER.

Sad face.

Ugh.... utterly despise these cutesy "celeb couple" names. Seriously, "Brangelina"? GTFO with that **** (in general I mean, no personal jab).

Opposed to any such nonsense for Shepard and Miranda.

What timeframe is this?

I'd instinctively say no. "Geth- we both know they're not the real threat." She clearly believes there are much bigger concerns. After the war may be a different matter.

This one is too small unfortunately.

I may have been drinking when I thought of a name for them.

Or I was THINKING of drinking at the time.

And it would have been something Garrus would have said to be an ass. Not something that would be known publicly.

Shepranda can just be a fan name used to describe them here. You don't honestly think I would call them that IN game do you?

Yes, post-ending (Unity is about E+7 days). Pre-ending she’s got clear objectives.

It's just shorthand to save from carpel tunnel.

Shepley is much shorter than writing Shepard and Ashley romanced relationship.

And I like the cutsie names, so there!

Same here, but this is what Joker calls them.

Their names for each other basically consist of what they call each other in game: Miranda, Shepard, Commander, Miss Lawson (Miranda rarely calls Shepard by his first name for me), plus Miri by Shepard (I know some people are anal about it, but BFD I say) and Oriana calls her Randa. 

Shepard also refers to her as beautiful (in a meaningful way), luv, and my love.

When they get married, Joker starts calling her Mrs. S.

No one would call them "Shepranda" to their face anymore than Pitt or Jolie would get addressed by "Brangelina".

Doesn't make it any less insufferable.

Use it if you want, I can't stop you. But I do reserve my right to ire at the notion.

[Dr. Doctor]

In the event that you don't have Tali and end up siding with the Quarians Destroy really isn't that bad a choice. Destroying EDI to stop the cycle of destruction is a pretty good trade off.

Also, after seeing some of the lines for Kelly that didn't make it into the game I'm now going with the idea that Miranda assumed Chambers' identity and the Miranda we meet on the Citadel is actually an android similar to EVA.

I said I wasn't going to use it. I don't like it either. It's a fan name. They use Shepley to describe Ashley and Shepard together.

No sane person would use that in the game.

So Miranda commmits suicide if you yell at her?

That would be even worse characterization actually...

Shepard's only ever called her Miranda. or Ms Lawson. I believe that's what he'd stick to, apart from terms of endearment (which wouldn't be that numerous).
As for Miranda I believe she would use his first name but would also on occasion switch to a flirtatious "Commander"

And if my Shep overhead Joker uttering anything of the sort, it's 3-hour mandatory soccer practice for him.

That's what I'm going with.

But Joker will troll anyway so punishing him for it won't do you much good.

[lillitheris]

Obviously people in-game would still use the proper names… This is just OOC nomenclature.

Part of my fic has Kelly being kidnapped after the war by a rogue group out to kill Shepard, and Shepard recieves a package in the mail a few days later with her decapitated head in it. It's booby trapped and it explodes, nearly killing Shepard.

lol, yeah Doc, that's actually the biggest derp of the game short of the endings.

Pro tip: When some points a gun to your head and asks "Are you _____?", the correct answer is "no". Unless they ask you "Are you a god?" then the answer is always "Yes".
