Ok, Kaidan, stop flirting with my renegade shep, this is getting silly. I don't remember the post-cerberus scientists chat in the crew quarters being that flirty... oh dear... poor Garrus will be upset if this continues!

Oh and while I was typing this I got stalked by Officer Circles again

The jealousy will do Garrus some good

Officer Circles is most likely the guard for the deck, at least that was what I figured when I saw him in the CIC and the Crew Deck.

*edit near top figured I'd just give some Kaidan

Ok my fiance knows me too well...
"Babe did you drink that whole bottle of schnapps?"
"Maybe..."
"You're still upset about Mass Effect, aren't you?"

I am still waiting to reach the ACCEPTANCE stage of grieving

Lol everybody's evil mood today, there is a poll in the General forum where if you have to sacrifice two squaddies to Harby - if so who would you pick... Poor James and Javik got the highest votes... followed by the VS... People still go screw them because of "Horizon and Mars Cerby!"

Screw that, I'm sending in Allers and her camera! (that count as two right, they took space in the Normandy after all)

People like yes men that drool over everything they say. Don't question them! They're all geniuses! 

But really say that Shepard gets this bright idea to dive off a bridge and invites her friends to join her. Garrus immediately says that's awesome and jumps up next to Shep to jump with her. Kaidan calls her a moron and drags them both back down.

Sometimes you need people to argue wit you, to ask questions, to disagree. Or else you end up filled with regret when things do go wrong, like I'm sure a board of writers felt after they gave the ok to those awful ME3 endings.

Wow you got it perfectly. That would have been the perfect type of interaction for Kaidan. I wish any of his questionning would have bring something constructive to the table. Why did they have to present him as insecure instead of cautious ? They never really show that his way pays off. So it turns out to be nagging instead.

But that's not what I was expecting of Kaidan. I would see him ask Chakwas to give him Shepard's heath record to verify the extent of her modifications by Cerberus. I know he would have had the guts to go behind Sheps back to make sure she is who she says she is. And I would have congratulated him for taking that precaution. Instead we get  some whiny dialogue. I just think they missed an oportunity to show what Kaidan is capable of and that being suspicious doesnt need to mean beeing childish. It can also be sound logic.

It's a fine line and to a lot of people it will till come across as whining or nagging. Personally, it never really got to the point of whining for me. It made sense for him to be suspicious at the beginning. At the Citadel, I didn't even need to convince Kaidan. Shep is just like "Kaidan, come on." and Kaidan says, "Yeah, sorry just trying to make it dramatic."

He will never pull the trigger no matter what you do either in that situation, even if you've been a complete dick and utterly suspicious. Kaidan/Ashley never get to the point where they fully give up on you and I think that's important.

And what if Shep had a control chip implanted and didn't know it. Miranda said it was a possibility. Kaidan/Ashley were right about Cerberus being crazy and turning on Shep, right? Why can't they make sure Shep is still the same person? They seem to be the only ones who care that Shepard came back from the dead! No one else questions that. 

I know right. As a player, I was always concerned my Shep would have been implanted by Cerberus, ever since she woke up. So Kaidan was right. What I dislike is that the story doesnt show him being justified or constructive. 

Like the example with Garrus and Shep jumping off a bridge. It would be very Kaidan-like if he did stop them and bring them home. But somehow, Kaidan will say its a bad idea and eventually just fallow anyway. So it turns him in the worst kind of yes-man, a grumpy one.

I want a DLC where he gets a Spectre mission and saves the day by stopping Shep from charging without thinking! Or maybe something like Samatha Traynor would do. Like being useful on the Normandy analyzing Spectre specific stuff and finding missions. That might be what ill headcanon he is doing in the starboard room. You know, instead of doing accounting and paperwork  <_<.

I would hope we all get there, but still not anywhere near the acceptance stage of things.  I think I'm still in the PO'd stage if I were to be honest about it, and that's about two weeks after finishing the game, and being aware of the endings before hand, so three weeks to a month.  /sigh  Need to write more.

On the writing side of things, I am starting a massive fic, starting at the end of Arrival, and going through ME 3 as I felt it should have been.  Will update as I get stuff up, however, since I'm just starting it, and trying very hard to not go off on tangents with it, which I am really bad about doing, it might be a bit before I put anything up.

A lot of it is Bioware seeing Shepard as invincible and always right. Like the situation with the Rachni. You don't kill the Rachni, there's a mission with the queen. You kill the Rachni, there's still a mission with the queen. There are ways that make Shepard's choices look bad, but really it's all negated by the endings and multiplayer.

I can't even remember a time when Shepard needs to be saved. Indeed, sometimes she does missions by herself like squadmates would bring her down. Kaidan is like the only character that doesn't treat Shepard like a god which is why I like having him around. But he's vastly outnumbered and it's not like anything ever happens to Shepard anyway so he just stands out.

How nice would it have been if the VS found something wrong with Shepard. Some cerberus safety implant. And then we could have had a convo where Kaidan tells Shep he was always questionning her to protect her and that it is his way to have her back. I want a convo like that so baddly.

[sesheta255]

I'd just like a decent conversation with him on the Normandy where he shows some concern for how Shepard's doing/coping with the pressure, and I'd much rather invite him up to the cabin than Traynor, lol.

Okay, all these fanfics are so depressing. Why isn't anyone writing anything silly, or stupid, or just downright cute?

That's it. I'm finishing then uploading my silly and stupid and downright cute fanfic. Too much negativity.

I wouldn't have minded the Liara thing as much if Kaidan had been able to give Shep a pep talk, like in ME1's locker scene...best pep talk ever.

Inorite? That pep talk was awesome. The fact that Garrus (my Shep's BFF) was the one who tried to raise Shep's spirits after Thessia and Kaidan was all "Poor Liara" really pissed me off. It totally broke immersion for me. Kaidan is my LI. I was completely faithful to him and he to me. Why is he oblivious - when he's always been so keen on Shep's moods before - to the fact that Shep is breaking down inside over her failure on Thessia?

This! So much this! I just went through that part yesterday and wanted to yell at Kaidan to give me some support, dangit.

Oh I know what you mean! I decided to read a few to lift my spirits and all that I accomplished was to make myself even sadder. The ones I read were great but so sad. I want something happy....I want my happy ending 

 That's the magic of Fanfiction, have you tried writing your own ending?
I, myself, don't think I could even if I tried. Which is why I'm writing about snowball fights, poker games, and Twister game night instead.

The more I think about it, the more I agree with many other people that Ash/Kaidan (whichever one died on Virmire) should've been the image and voice of the Catalyst instead of the kid. Don't know about others, but I didn't really connect to the kid at all. It just doesn't work and feels forced.Or perhap it should've been all your squadmates that died, all taking at once. But not the kid, he didn't have any impact

Agreed, the voice of the Catalyst should have been someone of some importance to Shepard, Ash/Kaidan (which ever died on Virmire), Mordin, Thane, Grunt (if he died), Legion.  I don't know, just the kid thing was just so pushed, repeatedly.  It really got annoying after a while.

I guess mine is kind of silly.  Not in tone but in what happens, heh.  Can read if you're bored.  =P  www.fanfiction.net/s/7934411/1/How_to_Bluff_a_Reaper

Oi, I seem to have skipped over yours! I usually leave the rating queue at K-T when I search out of habit. Reading it now

Hey guys quick question. If you continue the romance arc with Thane does that lock Kaidan on the friendship path? Thane dies :-( in the coup and I just couldn't break his heart but Kaidan is so nom nom nom. This is the only Shep I have who "strayed" and I'm so conflicted about it lol

I'm currently working on some ME2 random stupidity, and jotting down a few ideas for an ME3 one.  If you haven't already read Jaer's latest I highly recommend it for a laugh

 I would have liked all the dead squadmates. That would have been so much better than a kid.

I almost always put them at M to cover my butt, however, I don't think I've ever written a full on M fic... at least not in the last ten years.
