Just Sniper Things (botched Mission)

Just sniper things 💥 (botched mission)

I've been thinking about that last conversation with Garrus before the final push in ME3 a lot lately.

I hadn't noticed it at first because the whole conversation makes me so sad to think about, but recently I realized that if not for the apocalyptic dread, Garrus being the one to suggest retirement would actually be comical. since day one he's been a workaholic, going from the calibrating the Mako to calibrating the guns in the battery the second he's recruited. even in the Citadel DLC, drunk off his ass, he somehow finds a way to work. he couldn't retire; he'd absolutely die of boredom. and honestly? I don't know if Shepard would be able to retire all that easily either. pair that with his follow up comment of turian-human babies, and I realize that this whole conversation isn’t so much of a promise for the future as it is him throwing out his final hail mary. he's listing things that sound more improbable than defeating the reapers to get her back on track and believe in winning this war. maybe it could be "I want a life with you even though I don't think we're going to get one," but that isn't what he's trying to do.

because you see the destruction. to get TO Garrus, you had to walk past a radio reporting 100% casualties in one sector. you know it's bleak, Shepard knows, Garrus knows. it's clear neither of them think they're getting out of there. hell, the whole reason he tries to cheer her up is because he's the one who brought up last chances. so he does what he's been doing all game and throws his final attempt at cheer at her with all he's got. it's his final push.

My favourite part of writing Ace and Deuce being smitten for the reader/Yuu is that I consider them both being equally down bad but in completely different ways...

Deuce x Reader/Yuu would be like:

Whereas Ace x Reader/Yuu is more like:

Soap: Simon, would you still love me if I was a worm?

Ghost: Yes. Would you still love me if you were a worm?

Soap: What?

Ghost: What if you’re not capable of loving me back and you fall in love with another worm? Eh? What then?

garrus wanting children and wanting them with shepard always makes me AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

like I knows it's also a nudge nudge wink wink we'll have sex and a lot of it and it'll all be without protection apparently

but like why mr. vakarian would you bring up babies specifically. And when Shepard replies that she is either up for it, or that she isn't sure if that's a good idea, he just keeps pressing the idea of having a child with suggesting either that there will be a lot of krogan babies that might need taking care of or that their hypothetical child would be scared of "daddy's rifle collection" - his words not mine.

That turian wants babies. He most definitely wants children. Or at the very least the idea of a family with Shepard. But I really do think he wouldn't push the idea that much if he didn't really want it.

no guys im normal about zack and cloud constantly struggling to reach each other im really really normal about it i promise
