So the bf brought up Kaidan just now after we got home and I jumped behind the pc and he got flashed with sentinel kaidan. He wanted to know Why the pictures.
He gets me liking to tinker away in Photoshop, he gets why I would support Kaidan but he doesn't get why the photoshopped images have such an appeal. So he asked if you guys liked them too, I said yes. Then he asked Why.

 "Why do you all like those pictures? What's the point to them? They're not Kaidan, well his head is, but the rest isn't. It's his head on some random guy's body, so it's not the gaming character himself right? I don't get it."

Not exactly sure how to explain this to him in a way that he could understand ....so hence this post  Why do we like pics/art or whatever that shows Kaidan without it actually being Kaidan?

Tricky! My dear husband doesn't ask that kind of question  I guess for the same reason that men will look at paintings of naked women they aren't real but represent an ideal of beauty?

So that we can fantasise and pretend that it is the real Kaidan, to give our minds something to think about in between ME2 and ME3 - I could get deeper but you get the gist.

But the naked women are still themselves. His point is why, if we like Kaidan so much, do we like to see just his head on a random body that's not his? He gets eyecandy but his question is more character related. Why, if we love a character so much, do we also love something that could possibly be totally out of said character?

hehe...I'm trying to get info and answer him correctly, had a hard time explaining it

I get it, but it's hard to explain the above to a man who doesn't...maybe I need to use an example and use a car or something else he can relate to *chuckles*

edit : okay tried the following. He likes Julia Roberts so I asked if I were to photoshop her head onto a lovely body that's not hers, would he like it?

So he has :  "Depends on the picture but I think so. But it still wouldn't be her."

Me :  "But if it's a nice picture that does her justice, why would you care?"

Him : "It would be nice to look at sure, but again it's not her. Nor am I supporting Julia Roberts like you're doing that Kaidan guy. Wouldn't you rather use material from the game that's designed to be him?"

I give up

Because the game doesn't give us what we want and you do!

LOL, has he played ME2?  We can't just look at pics of the Horizon scene all day long, as nice as Kaidan's behind looks as he's turning to leave...

For me, fanart is much like fanfiction, I read it because I like to see other people's interpretations of the characters, and especially for Kaidan, I like to see possible future scenarios, since what's actually in the game is pretty disappointing.

It's also just fun seeing a character you like in situations that wouldn't be included in the game.  I *really* don't foresee a time that Kaidan would ever wear a classic tuxedo in the game, for instance, but I love the pic.  And yeah, we don't know why Kaidan is striding around manfully brandishing his omnitool with no shirt on, but I'm not complaining at all...

Just tell him that we like to use our imagination.    Our often naughty, vivid, gutter-like imagination...

He doesn't play games much and never even came near a RPG of any kind. Maybe that's the problem, you should have heard the discussion we had about roleplaying. But yeah, maybe the simplest explanation would work better...because we like to use your imagination.

As for shirtless sentinel kaidan, the shirt version will be done soon too. First time I was ever wondering if he should be shirtless *chuckles* Still..he's yummy...and I think I prefer the shirtless version

[Shenzi]

Good morning

I’ve mentioned it before but my husband gives me a “what the hell is that” if I don’t’ scroll by a shirtless Kaidan fast enough on the thread.
 
Double standard really since I have to listen to his friends go on about the bimbo starlet of the day.

[Shenzi]

Oh and hubby was fascinated by the pictures of Miranda's ass on the motivational thread I showed him.

[Quaay]

Yummy

rofl oh god, could you imagine Joker organizing Kaidan's bachelor party.

Totally   And the things he would organize would be purposefully designed to make Kaidan blush.

[Sialater]

Morning, y'all!



Re: Jho's pics: I think the appeal is that it's an imagination aid. It's not like he takes his shirt off



A bachelor party for Kaidan? LMAO

[Jhourney]

So, slowly putting a shirt on Kaidan and my mind is yelling "NO NO NO, take it off!"...he just looks so much better without one, so gonna leave it for a bit.

Taking off shirts is so much more fun

edit : Here...a comparison..

A shirt and pants? Fort would not approve.

Blegh, from the moment I started on the pic itself I was torn on the shirt issue..now that I have a comparison I prefer the shirtless but the shirt makes more sense in a way...

Oh well it's our Normandy, he's not allowed to wear a shirt while on duty anyway

[crimsonrhodelia]

Hi guys!



About Jho's pics, the more Kaidan we get, in any way, shape or form, the better, in my opinion. Especially after ME2!



Looking forward to seeing shirt-wearing Sentinel Kaidan. That man looks mightily handsome in his Alliance blues.

  I agree about that last part, but the shirt version looks good so far.  You should finish it and post it too, for us lame people who have to view the thread at work.

Oh, and funny story, I was reading the thread the other day, and there was a picture of Sparkly Eyed Kaidan on the screen, and a co-worker walking by said "oh, who's that!" and then "hey, aren't you married???"

I didn't explain that it was a video game character, but I was like, hey, I can look! 

[Joisan]

I agree you should finish non-shirtless Sentinel Kaidan. Alliance blues are teh smexy!

Aww bless, so many real life people are confused by our Kaidan
