Pt. 2 of Mass Effect things that are so fucking funny, imagine you're a Krogan chillin on Tuchanka feelin' good about yourself when a sentient bag of water walks in with the Krogan equivalent of a living Barbie doll, high fives the president, bitch slaps a foreign dignitary, kills a demigod, and then leaves without any further explanation

#text #this is why Shepard's reputation is near mythical lmao #basically a galactic cryptid

Pretty much everybody on Tumblr seems to look at Garrus and be like, "Hm, yes, the optimal love interest." And that's fair! Garrus is great. Date him if you want.

But goddamn, have I just always had brainrot for Shepard and Garrus platonically. Their dynamic is just so flawless. I have never believed a game more when it has told me "These two people are best friends." They are the most found family siblings I've ever seen.

Every party member in Mass Effect 1 (who lives) goes on to achieve greatness above and beyond pretty much any party member introduced in subsequent games (except that I do specifically think the human party members are outstripped by Mordin), but you get to watch it happen with Garrus and Tali because they never leave you. Garrus starts off as "That loose cannon cop who signed on to help get Saren." After Shepard dies, he decides he's just going to casually end organized crime and is alarmingly successful. When Shepard shows up again, Garrus' reaction is to fucking shoot them and then joke about it when they finally make it to him. Shepard deflects Garrus' near death experience by calling him ugly. During his loyalty mission, you have the opportunity to have some absolutely raw conversations with him about ethics and morality that you don't really ever see with another companion except Jack, and she basically completely ignores everything you say until you see her in 3. With Garrus, he'll resist what you're saying, but you can see him trying to find the line between justice and revenge, law and chaos. If you put him in charge of the second team during the suicide mission, you can see how much he's grown with you as he effortlessly coordinates his team with yours. And all that is just in Mass Effect 2.

Once you get to 3, you really start seeing it. Garrus has made his way up in the Hierarchy and is leading their efforts against the Reapers, just like Shepard. When you ask him about it, he immediately starts talking about it as the shared work you've had since the first game. No other companion identifies themselves with you through this struggle. Sure, other companions will mention the previous games and what you did with them, but there's always something else. Liara is the Shadow Broker now. Tali has the Geth to worry about. The Virmire Survivor is bound up in the Alliance and becoming a Spectre. Wrex has the Krogan. But Garrus? Garrus is here with you. He's standing right next to you, giving the Reapers his full attention. And as you go throughout the game, he's consistently the one there for you. When you're struggling to get the Council Races to work together, he's there. When things go tits up on Thessia, he's there. Even you're going into the final run, he's there. When the two of you die, if Turian heaven is the same as human heaven, he'll meet you at the bar.

There is no Vakarian without Shepard. There is no Shepard without Vakarian. These two soldiers are bound together with blood, sweat, and the sheer Terminator-grade determination to save the galaxy, no matter how much it kicks and screams. There is no fire they won't jump into for the other one, and they'll make fun of each other the whole way. There's no other relationship like it.

I'm Glory of Dawn, and this is my favorite platonic ship on the Citadel.

Playing #MassEffect for the first time and I can’t tell if I’m obsessed with the game or with Commander Shepard.

Very likely its both.💙

They’re just so…FOND of each other. 😍😍

“No Shepard without Vakarian,” indeed.

Now excuse me while I lie down and just think of them an absurd amount.

I could not believe who I got as my giftee for @masseffectholidaycheer, because while this person has bought seventeen character portraits from me I had not yet drawn any of her Mass Effect characters. So it must have been fate. And she probably deserves a freebie as extra repeat customer and top referrer at this point too. She should have a loyalty card or something.

So here’s @commandersarah’s Miranda Shepard and her crushes besties crushes Ashley and Kaidan. And let’s call this an Everybody Lives AU since I went for ME3 Miranda and it’s what we deserve.

Plus a bonus portrait, for her hoard ✨
