Ficbit.  Focus on Shepard, but Kaidan's around doing Kaidan-y things.

Alternately, Kaidan:

I like your Shepard. She's unique.

Shoko's art is simply amazing, stunning and gorgeous. I'm glad she decides to share her paintings with us.

@Kyakan: For all the sh*t they get on this forum, Bioware does a lot of things well. The thing they do best is people. Ernest Hemingway (my favorite author) once said, "When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature." Bioware gets that, and creates incredible people. They can make you care for a NPC like no other developer.

I, well, "third" this   Excellent way to state something I frequently try to express.

This is amazing! And did I mention already how much I love Kaidan's alternate armor in ME3? Maybe even better than the default one hehe <3

I bought Mass Effect because of Kaidan. I had finished Dragon Age and really liked their cinematic style. First time I had experienced romances in the game so my mind was blown at the level of immersion. Some romantic outcomes could be tragic (you know what I'm talking about) depending on choices made and I didn't want to repeat that. I found a thread where DA romances were compared to Mass Effect ones and people spoke so well of Kaidan and how sweet the romance was. Took the plunge, bought the game, and had him in mind from get-go. For some reason I thought only paragons could have romances until I saw someone say, "No, just don't be a jerk to the person you're pursuing. Common sense, duh." So I immediately rerolled and played a renegon and LOVED THAT GAME SO MUCH. I love Mass Effect more than DA, even though I get more romance mileage in DA. There's just something about Shepard that is very immerisive and iconic. Anyway, Kaidan was the reason why I got the game to begin with. Blah blah blah. =p

Edit: Amazing picture. Love his uniform.

People spell my name wrong even after they I've written it down for them (my real name) it infuriates me that they are so superior as to assume I don't know how to spell my name......... 
Kaidan should join that FB group...
People who always have to spell their names for other people

When in doubt, quote Hemingway. For example:

Edit: That Shoko piece is incredible.

Read Diraemythos and Helenovision comments going off on the dude who said this: "How could you want to stay with Kaiden? Seriously after he dissed you like that, I would like to kick the VS out of the Normandy at the first stop. Otherwise Incredibly awesome picture."

Its priceless and made my day. I love how vocal and angry Kaidan fans are. I have to shake my head at the people who comment on other's fanart saying "I hate Kaiden but this is nice." Why the hell can't they leave the "I hate Kaidan" part out and just say "Hey this is nice."

Not sure if this the place to promote a Shenko fic, but I'll do it anyway.

This is something I have been writing in anticipation of ME3, but it starts out in ME1. Written 3 chapters already.

Is it sad that I was wondering if someone would take umbrage with that line?

@moonmythology: That is phenomenal. Seriously, that's fantastic.

@Graceyn: I'd start with The Sun Also Rises. It was his first novel, one of my favorites. It's pretty short, too, so you can read it and get a feel for whether or not you like his writing. Not everyone does. (kind of a nerd)

My absolute favorite of his. I love Hemingway. Nerds abound!



And to keep this on topic...

@Red
Well Shepard wouldn't take crap from anyone about her man. And we speak on behalf of Shepard.
You and Heleno and Dirae made us proud.

Part of Heleno's comment:

Also, Kaidan doesn't cause Shep's vag to chafe/some major allergic reaction every time they f*ck, and you know, she needs to be at full mobility to stop the Reapers and all. I suppose that's an ok reason to stay with him.

 Oh wow, people are talking about me.  

To clarify myself, I don't have anything against Garrus, him as an LI, or people who choose to romance him.   I know my comments on Shoko's piece kind of seemed to suggest that, but it was really a mix of whoever made that first comment about "I didn't know people liked Kaidan I hate the VS I want them both dead and off my ship I am awesome", and then I read someone saying something about Garrus, and I don't know, my brain just kind of mashed everything together, and I'll admit, it went a bit off topic.  I went ahead and typed what I felt t that moment without thinking about it, and then hit send, and it was over.    I actually find the Garrus romance to be quite cute, but it never felt like a true romance, it felt like a friends-with-benefits sort of thing, to me at least.  Maybe it's just because I am not attracted to Garrus' personality type, so I would never go for the romance to begin with, I don't know.

I guess if I hold anything against Garrus, it's the seemingly immature fangirls, and again that is not all of them, I have a few friends who are die-hard Shakarian, and I totally respect them for that. It probably helps though, that they have a mutual respect for my love of Shenko.  It's just you can't go a day on dA without seeing a pro Garrus/Shep pic that goes out of it's way to diss Kaidan somehow, or the artist will make sure to mention how they "dumped lame, whiny, weak, human Kaidan as soon as I got back from Horizon, and now am tapping that hot Turian ass".  :I  And I think most of you get what I'm saying. It's just that you see enough of that, you get sick of it, you end up getting kind of defensive about it.  I'm not gonna lie, Kaidan is a very special character to me.  My first and favorite BioWare romance, but I also really like his depth, personality, and backstory as a stand-alone character.  And I always stand up for what I like/believe in/etc.

All in all, I think that all romances have enjoyable aspects, and it's awesome that there are so many choices, for so many different types of players.  But, even though it seems like I'm a little borderline anti-Garrus, all LIs deserve respect, even if you don't partcularly like them.  I  know that sounds ridiculously ideal, and it's the internet, and it's never going to happen, but it's how I feel about it.  And yeah, I have my favorites, but I really try not to go out of my way to make anyone feel bad about their choices.  I mean, that is what these games are built around, CHOICES.  And that's why they are so enjoyable, imo, because you can customize the experience to your liking, and there is always something new, if you so choose to go for a different experience.

No sweat, I think everyone here was just high-fiving your smackdown of Kaidan haters commenting on Kaidan art. I think we all here are supportive of everyone's individual LI fave, as long as they don't dis ours!

Haha, thanks.  I just felt like it was worth mentioning all of that before someone was like "Oh, well, she was talking negatively about Garrus, and expects respect for Kaidan!".  Just to clear things up, really.

I posted this in the Ash thread last night, and I think it bears repeating. The disclaimer still stands.

I want to preface this by saying that I'm not pointing at any one person or group of people when I say this.

If your reaction to Virmire is "boo, it would've been awesome if character x died," then you're missing the point. The whole point of the Mass Effect series, what makes it truly revolutionary, is that sometimes choices are unpleasant. Sometimes there isn't a good choice, or a right choice. I realize that they're just pixels, but you should never want someone dead, especially a teammate. Maybe it's just because my life experiences have given me a unique outlook on things like this, but consigning someone to death should never be easy, should never be joyful.

Just my two cents.
