Dear lord I finally did it. I caught up with the thread after being gone for four days. I'm glad I didn't skip anything though, as usual the conversation here was awesome, though I now have to dreg up a few old topics so prepare for EPIC LONG POST.

Kaidan and my Shep after the end (if the current end is ignored):
I personally think my Shep would help with the rebuilding efforts as much as she could after she recovers from her injuries, but will probably never truly return to full active duty. She's tired and I think she's earned a rest, though she might end up getting dragged into politics, if only so another Udina doesn't rise up to fill the vacuum and so she can keep her friends' governments from tearing each other apart. As much as we would all like to see some biotic babies, I think my Shep would end up adopting kids from the war orphans she finds across the galaxy as it rebuilds. Having lost her parents violently herself at 16 (Colony kid) she knows what these kids are going through and how to help them through it. Kaidan and Shepard would of course get married asap, something small and informal with the Normandy crew invited of course.:wub: Maybe Garrus giving her away since he's her best friend and Anderson was her replacement father figure and is now dead. I'm not sure if Kaidan would stay on active duty or not, though my Shepard would support him in whatever choice he makes, understanding both the allure of service and peace. And by now I've gotten entirely too detailed and should probably stop before I end up writing a whole fic in this post.

On Kaidan and Carth:
I can see why the voice reminds people of Carth when they meet Kaidan, but honestly other than that the two couldn't be more different. I remember playing KoTOR fpr the first time in that long dry spell between ME2 and ME3 to somehow have new experiences with "Kaidan", even if it was just his voice. This actually ended up making me miss him even more as they sounded so similar but while Kaidan was calm and understanding, Carth was rash and quick to judge. I'm not bashing Carth, I still loved him and his romance arc, it's just that he's no Kaidan.

On Kaidan/Ashley hate:
I can understand not liking characters, but why does mentioning religion once and saying that you're wary of aliens on a human vessel make you a xenophobic zealot? I mean I'm not very religous (read: not at all religous) but I never felt that Ashley pushed her faith on me, in fact she was very polite and cautious about even mentioning it. And about the xenophobia, it's basically half of the conversation you can have with Pressley and never gets resolved except in a DLC later, but noone calls him racist. So why would they do that to someone who actually gets over it in the course of the main game? Especially after Ash calls out Terra Nova for being racist a-holes. And all the Kaidan hate? Well you guys addressed that better than I could, guys probably feel intimidated that this is the ideal women have about potential partners. Honestly, maybe all the haters just never talked to them because there were shiny new aliens on the board too.:?

About Kai Leng:
Eff him. I started hating him after he killed Thane. This got worse after he took me down on Thessia with his plot armor even though Liara's Singularity+ Combat Drone Rockets+ Overload+ Incinerate= Instadeath. But the blinding rage I felt when he's mentioned didn't start up until his trolling e-mail. I mean the first few lines I still thought it was an asari talking about the evacuation, but by the end of it I was spitting nails and ready to wring his scrawny little cybernetic neck. >=(

About the Mako:
I loved scaling mountains and running over geth. I even loved taking out thresher maws!:lol: My crowning achievement is still the time I managed to inflict damage on it from a crazy 1000 foot fall in which it flipped end over end a few times before smacking a tire on a building and landing face up, with only the tire blinking the little red light of damage and the shields fully intact.

About Kaidan Taking the Shot:
Honestly, the first time around I felt the adrenaline slow down time for me as I processed all the scenarios in my brain, mostly ending up with a councilor's death by Udina unless I took the shot right then. I didn't even realize Kaidan would do it until coming to the boards post-game. After reading all the comments on that moment though I agree that I wouldn't want Kaidan to feel guilty over it, but feel that the character development for him is more important. Still once the rush wore off it felt freaking good to finally get a chance to shoot the lying snake.:devil:

Okay, that's it for my massive catch up post, I can die of exhaustion now.-_-

 Omigosh I did it. I actually finished writing something, and clicked the submit button. I uploaded my first ever Mass Effect fanfic :crying: It's... 
Such a terrifying thought, actually. I'm going to go hide under a rock now so people can't chase me down with torches and pitchforks.


Still, I'd say the fact that I actually built up the courage to upload something deserves a dancing Kaidan:

Thank you for uploading Lady :) You don't need to hide it was awesome!

Good job Lady.  The first one is the hardest to publish but it gets easier, lol.

Hopefully I'll get around to giving ME3 the random stupidity treatment (although I'm not sure if I can top the r/s of those endings, lol) once I get a few more hobbies done for my current r/s.Posted Image

Yeah, I wrote a similar explanation to my friends:

Imagine, if you will, Return of the Jedi. Luke is on the Death Star 2.
The Emperor, up to yet, has not yet been mentioned, or revealed. As far
as we know, the Senate and Darth Vader rule the Empire.

Luke
fights and slays Vader, but is badly injured in the battle. Admiral
Ackbar tells him over the comm unit that they can't enter the Death Star
to destroy it unless Luke uses a control panel to open a vent into the
center. Luke reaches for it, but is to weak. Suddenly, he's brought up
onto a previously unknown level of the Death Star 2 by a platform.


There he meets a man who claims to be the ruler over all of the
Imperial forces. The Emperor. He explains that the Empire was his
solution to the chaos of the galaxy. But that Lukes prescence shows that
his solution is no longer viable. Luke has 3 choices:
He can
destroy the Empire by blowing up the Death Star, he can control the
Empire by seizing control of the Death Star, or he can meld the Imperial
forces with the Rebel forces and bring the galaxy together (this is
considered the 'best' solution). Luke has no more explanation than this.
Regardless of his choice, he will die and hyperspace will explode and no one is ever able to use it ever again.


Luke chooses one of the options. Regardless of which, we get roughly
the same cutscene. In synergy and destroy, the Death Star explodes. In
control it shoots out a big blue wave. Next cut scene is of Lando in
hyperspace trying to outrun the explosion/wave (why he's in hyperspace
and not in battle is never explained). The explosion/wave catches up
with him and the Millenium Falcon crash lands on some remote,
uninhabited planet. He then walks out of the Falcon followed by Han,
Leia, Chewie and the Droids (even though they were clearly last seen
fighting on the ground in Endor).

The film then ends with a
snowy field at night with a grandpa and his young grandchild looking up
at the night sky. The grandchild asks if s/he'll ever go there some day
and what s/he'll find there. Then asks his/her grandfather to tell her
another story about the 'Skywalker'. You're then hit with an add asking
you to buy episodes of Star Wars that take place during the Galactic
Civil War.

Don't know if this has been posted before, but I thought it was pretty funny. Especially Tali and Vega one, Jacobs is funny too, but it makes me feel sorry for the guy. Kaidan is in it too, poor guy  ;)

 <3 Love it, Winde! Quite "steamy".
... Sorry, it's 2:30 am. I feel that as a valid excuse to make lame puns *cough*


Thanks for all the kind words on the fanfic, everyone! I'm definitely going back to humor if I ever decide to write more... I'm toying with the idea of having Shep's mom visit the Normandy on a surprise drop in, ever since I had the mental image of my Shep going a bit neurotic with Garrus in a pink apron and yellow gloves scrubbing windows, Liara dusting, and Tali trying to figure out how to work a vacuum cleaner.
Yeah, that's my idea of humor... Don't ask :lol:

I had a cupcake earlier... It was a bit too dense for my tastes. Or maybe I've been watching too much Cupcake Wars again.

It's aimed at the not-so-civil people who hate the ending. It's not meant for everyone, just those that give Bioware/ME a bad name. The trolls, the ones who death threaten people, the ones who don't let people have a word in edgewise.

Those type of people. If you're not one, no worries :)

Does Kaidan only ever wear a breather helmet in ME3? After playing a lot of ME1 I really miss just the normal helmets on everyone. But I he only wears a stupid breather one when you turn helmets on.

Mean Kaidan makes me sad :crying: And now I'll be humming the song "The Last Night" all night... You could've named your fic "Walking on Sunshine" or something happier to have stuck in my head. :lol: Aw, ignore me, I've been awake for too long. I like how you added Cortez, I'm still trying to figure out how to keep him alive in my second run...

Talk to him every chance you get. That's how I did it. Must. Save. Cortez!

I know. Mean Kaidan makes me sad, and makes my Shep sad. But it will get better...eventually lol

I was listening to the song when the muse bit me to write, so I figured why not.

@ Henchxnarf - ty for explaining, sadly, like the ending to this series, its only a small percentage that ruins things for the rest... cwhutididthar heh heh :bandit:

**disclaimer - on the off chance that someone didnt see what I did there,  that comment flies for both the endings and the bad fans as they both only make up a small percentage of each but ruin EVERYTHING**

sorry... locked in a dark room trying to stave off a migraine thats trying to break my brain for the night... I think im hilarious hehehe

I think it's fairly likely if you're a regular on this thread, her survival rate is somewhere in the range of 0%. I couldn't imagine ever leaving Kaidan behind.

*shudders*

Meeep! The bad feeling won't go away!

Edit: Oh, top. Uhm. Here's how distracting Kaidan is for my Shep - he can get her attention even while she's being shot at!
