As a victim, he would have used the bolt cutters ethically.

by necessity i guess Cecilia Shepard's full name is like documented and in the public record and anyone she talks to could just look it up and know. but literally nobody has called her by unshortened first name to her face for over a decade. and the number of people who get and use cc privileges rather than rank/last name is in the single digits. among squadmates/crew specifically i think it's literally. liara (wife), tali, kasumi. um. she would be ok giving jacob cc privileges if they were ever actually off-duty but they simply aren't. extends the offer to samara who doesn't take it. .... that's it

on her part, cc largely calls people by rank/last name unless they are liara, tali, or kasumi. or don't have one provided. in certain emotional contexts though she recognizes that it'd be overly formal and detached but like you can tell it's a little weird for her and she's Thinking about using your first name. and she calls garrus garrus when he's annoying her. she and kaidan have never referred to each other by first name though this i know

computer show me gore of my comfort character

i've concluded there was a bf who died on akuze situation and then cc was like i'm never even thinking about fraternizing again it just creates too many complications. but i think 99% of people around her aren't aware she's bisexual and are instead operating under the assumption she's only into asari due to. the fact that she keeps only having romantic/sexual tension with asari. It just keeps happening to her.

ik there's no chance kaidan's bisexuality comes up outside of mshep romance but i'm really amusing myself thinking about him dealing with that and awkwardly trying to consult cc since she's. well at any rate not conforming to human heteronormativity. but on account of him working through his own internalized issues and also having the wrong idea about cc she eventually has to go Alenko. I thought we were having this conversation because you knew I was bisexual but now I'm not sure what's going on. and he's like You have never at any point given off the impression you are into men. or other humans . frankly. cc (genuinely annoyed) is like Well practically all the human men I interact with on a regular basis are my crew who do you think I am. I still like to watch Vega doing pull-ups as much as the next guy. If you'd seen this guy Jacob who was with Cerberus you might've sorted your shit out sooner. then kaidan's insecurity about his sexuality and perceived masculinity results in him fighting for his life trying to find a casual non-offensive way to ask if she thinks he's hot. and failing

Is making a lot of incredibly shitty, possibly bad or outright horrifying mistakes actually a viable survival strategy in life? Maybe even a wise one?

hey do you want to come over and repress with me

every time someone else is in the background while cc and liara interact it makes me laugh they're always just like 🕴️
