Lol I hate when fanfiction authors get the character wrong.

Notice how Shepard doesn't return the favor. We don't get any "Your fringe is...tall. Aand your carapiece is... kinda hard and scaley."

That's because Shep's actions speak louder than words. She touches his scar  I also can't imagine Shep complimenting anyone physically, at least not right off the bat. Does she do that with any of the other romances? It might also have to do with the fact that women don't tend to be as lavish with compliments as men...at least, from my own experience.

As for "supportive waist", I think he does literally mean that she has good body structure, ie. well-proportioned, rather than fat. Somehow, I can imagine that turians would find a sound body structure/musculature attractive, considering how they're a battle-oriented race. He might also mean that she's more solidly built than a turian (heck, Garrus himself probably has a smaller waist than Shepard), which might be a good thing.

Judging by the way that femShep speaks to Jacob, she might compliment his body somewhere in his romance. Her voice makes her sound very forward. When Jacob takes his shirt off she has the silliest grin on her face.

Lol yea, this is how I saw it. I don't think Garrus would be calling Shepard fat, lol.

Oh, I get that. I've always been a fan of the 'they don't need to say anything at all' take on the relationship. It just makes me laugh that Garrus is clearly going crazy in his head trying to do and say the right thing, and Shepard (as always) is take charge and cool and collected. And I just imagine since Garrus is normally more like that himself, it would almost make it worse for him. Bless. I was just imagineing how one might go about returning the favor (and men do enjoy being complimented, in my experience. )



Some fanfic I've read has been OOC to the point of upsetting. Especially the stuff that gets very mushy/sexy with FemShep and Garrus. I have read a coouple where the spieces difference has been explored juuuuust right. And that makes me

[Shazzammer2]

o.o current topic is scaring me. Will return when uhh.... ya'll are settled down a bit.

[janeym27]

@Collider. I actually like that it might be him calling her fat by accident. Makes it all the more adoreable and dorky.



By 'fat', I mean that turians are quite wasp waisted, Humans aren't. How does one make the comparison without being insulting? lol

[janeym27]

Damn double post/spelling mistakes.

Garrus.

This is probably one of the less scary topics we've covered. Mutant babies, anyone? O_o

Yea, you are practically forced to say something like "Well it looks like you came through no worse for wear" early on when he talks about leaving the Alliance. It's not even part of the romance dialog! What's more is that is actually the LEAST drooling, provocative thing you can say! The options on the wheel there are like paragon: You look like you are still in top shape, Neutral: I appreciate that you took a stand (which LOOKS neutral but what actually comes out of Shep's mouth is something like "we have a lot in common") and renegade: they lost a good man. So my options are paragon: I like your bod Jacob! neutral: We are so much alike! and Renegade: I respect you a lot! I don't think any of the above and people wonder why so many claim they felt like Jacob was forced on them and Shep acts like a sleaze around him!

I imagine they did it this way because most people choose the paragon option. For the Miranda and Jacob romances, they went for "sexy" and "flirtatious."

So in the Miranda romance the top ("paragon")options are sometimes quite sexual.

"I just want to get you into bed."

"Oh, I am DEFINITELY interested *crazy insane look*"

"Your love handles are... very practical."

[Collider]

Oh np, sorry, wasn't trying to imply anything. Just saying that I didn't think that Garrus was trying to call Shep plump on purpose, although as we agree that it may be taken that way inadvertently =p



The mutant babies topic makes me laugh, but yea, might be best not to go there.

[Cerrydd]

Don't talk about mutant babies or Eradyn will kill puppies again.

The words 'mutant' and 'babies' combined should be censored on this forum.

[janeym27]

See: it's discussions like this that make turian females NECESSARY, dammit! (incidently, there are files for a female Elcor in the Elcor Hamlet advert. Don't remember seeing her on the vid tho...)



Re: mutant babies. It's OK. We don't talk about that. It makes us all sad. Sorry I brought it up. XD

Please, dear god, anything but that!  I'm on my knees.  Literally.

I read a fic where Shepard had been abducted and someone experimented on her. Then she was pregnant and Garrus was the father.
My eyes started bleeding.

I heard them on youtube - it's in-game. They're just as funny as male elcor. I had the video once but I can't find it anymore...

[janeym27]

Well, we usually have to liberally apply the brain bleach and rescue dozens of small dogs from Eradyn. It gets tense, bro. lol



On a totally unrelated note: has anyone seen the Flamster lately? I miss him.

[Mr.BlazenGlazen]

MUTANT BABIES GARRUS!



Male Shepard: Garrus, we have about 10 seconds before the fangirls engulf us

*Garrus already has a head start*

[Collider]

He might be doing chicken things.

WAT. Do you remember the title? I want to read it. If it's that bad, it should at least be something to lol at.

I admire your bravery. I'm not sure I could go through some fanfiction without wanting to hang myself.
