I loooove your interpretation of the shakarian romance circa ME1....pet peeve of mine is when people portray them as romantically attracted to each other on the SR-1. I think Garrus' literal Hierarchical military background makes it so he is a bit taken aback at first by Shepard and the entire experience of being on a human vessel. Since he's lived and worked on the Citadel, he's probably more familiar with humans then the rest of the crew is with turians, but he still doesn't particularly understand the human modes of operation or What Shepard's Deal Is until he realizes that somewhere along the way she's shifted his whole perspective on things. I personally felt like C-Sec, though not exclusively turian, was still mostly a turian shop, and thus Garrus the "bad turian" has felt distinctly out of place for most of career. He recognizes that he's atypical, and while he's not necessarily ashamed of it, the emphasis Hierarchy society places on duty, sacrifice, and the importance of falling in line still makes it so Garrus has internalized a bit of guilt and frustration that he can't just be a "good turian." I think he carries that with him for a long time, and it's really not until he serves on the SR-1 and meets Shepard that he begins to see that he may not necessarily be "faulty" for not fitting the role of the model turian...but he still begins to see some of his perspectives--the black and white thinking, the drive to get results without regard to the cost or harm to others--may still be flawed. It's not that she takes the opposite approach as him, but that she encourages him to rethink the entire black vs white structure he operates under. And I think the openness of a superior officer--and a human, no less--takes Garrus by surprise, and he's even more surprised to find that Shepard's viewpoint changes his.
And I don't think any of it is romantic. Honestly, I think it kind of deeply confuses the both of them, for a bit. A completely unexpected rapport with an "alien" that was simply never contemplated by either party. And then Shepard dies, and the two must undergo another cataclysmic shift in their understanding of one another, and of themselves.
Sorry for the lenghthy meta. Your discussion of their early relationship just really resonated with me lol
(anon is referring to this post)
YES. i love this ask. I think ME1 is essential to their dynamic, and what that means is that they needed that time to even just acclimate to the concept of each other and start becoming the people they needed to be to enter a relationship.
it evolved into romantic love down the line, but with shepard and garrus, itβs the journey they had together that really matters. itβs the foundation of their romantic relationship. in order to get to that point theyΒ needed that time to be in each otherβs company as coworkers, mentor and mentee, comrades in battle, striving towards a common goal. to build trust and understanding.
garrus says himself that heβs never met anyone like her (and i agree that c-sec is at its core a turian outfit and itβs likely organized in a turian manner even with aliens in its ranks) and itβs very clear that he admires her and has found in her the kind of superior heβs always longed for, namely someone that actually listens to his concerns rather than dismiss him out of hand. someone who explains to him why they choose what they choose. someone who respects him enough to give him that. itβs the only kind of person garrus would have ever accepted in that role, and thatβs why he lets her change his mind. there is so much going on in their dynamic in ME1, all of it a prerequisite for falling love, but not yet romantic in nature.
and i take his line where he says heβs never considered cross-species intercourse seriously. some people pretend he never said it, or they prefer to interpret it as a lie. i donβt think so. heβs neverΒ consciously considered it (subconsciously is another matter!) and i think in order for him to get to a point where heβs even open to the thought they need a different kind of relationship that they had on the SR-1. there needs to beΒ historyΒ andΒ established trust, a good rapport and respect not just on a professional but on a personal level. both of them fighting demons, helping each other, being each otherβs rocks. there needed to be an βusβ first. thatβs not what they had in the first game, but the first game still needed to happen as the first step in the evolution of their relationship.Β
fundamentally, theyβre best friends who fall in loveβand the best friend step is not one you can skip without me having to try extra hard to suspend my disbelief.Β
iβve read fics that handled an ME1 romance well, but to me theyβre AUs beyond the obvious. i have to pretend theyβre different people than they are.
theyβre bothΒ capableΒ of loving the other. a well-crafted AU can make it work! but they need to first become those people, one way or another, before that capacity is fully unlocked. thereβs things they need to get out of the way first.
The whole reason I love these characters together and why I always romance garrus is that regardless of whether you romance him or not hes still your best friend. The dynamic is undeniable even without romance

desired you while the women flee
tbh if I was Bella Swan and some guy wanted to go to the beach w me up until he found out it was the one on the reservation and then I asked the kids from the tribe why he was weird about it and they said the Cullens don't come here :/ I would just assume I was trying to hit on the town's most notorious racist.
sometimes ill go onto jackbox.tv, name myself "SCARY GHOST" and just type random codes in until i find a game and then just vote randomly
*bravely* i think more things should be about women

Dustin rightly gets most of the fics and HCs as Steddieβs shared kid but I think Lucas is underrated. Heβs their little half jock half nerd blend and they LOVE him
It's so nice to see black men be vulnerable and fun.

someone almost stabbed me with a butchers knife and my response at the time was to turn and ask them "are you kidding me?"
Delirious patient at work grabbed my arm and told me he was gonna break it and I said "no thank you"

"Halloween adults are just as bad as disney adults" "Furries are worse than disney adults"
I gotta be real, I thought we were critical of disney adults for aggressive loyalty to a really gross mega-corporation, or refusal to engage with media that isn't for kids, not because people... have hobbies?

Worldcat is my bestie and my one true love!! Not only does it tell you what library a book is at, but it also price compares different used book sites against each other for easy view! It's how I got Tarot For the Master for $10!!
Oh, and since I have your attention: z-library (books and textbooks) and sci-hub (gatekept scientific journal articles.) I just ripped a textbook for class off z-library and snatched a required reading from sci-hub. Life is good and education should be accessible at every stage and station of life.
information wants to be free
@thesightofthestarsmakemesmile
THEREβS A SEARCH ENGINE FOR THAT
And itβs called SearXNG. Itβs a metasearch engine, so it takes information from whatever providers you select and presents it to you as Google might but without ads or tracking, and you can pick which sources it searches, so you could only search Wikipedia and scihub and worldcat and whatnot by default
I think that when you're overstimulated you should appear kind of grayed out and no one should be able to interact with you like a locked character in a video game
