God I can’t get over how garrus’s whole ‘bad cop’ writing is such a product of the early 2000s. I can’t wait for him be be insane in me2 and ready for domestic bliss in me3

My headcanon is that Kaidan already had a huge crush on male Shepard during the events in Mass Effect 1, but Shepard is suffering from comphet and internalized homophobia and is also an oblivious idiot who doesn't take a hint. And Kaidan doesn't really push it too clearly either, because he's afraid of what Shepard's reaction would be - understandably so, because Shepard's social circle seems to be full of all kinds of xenophobes and bigots. So Kaidan keeps his feelings to himself.
Shepard then falls in love with Liara - who he pretty much sees as a woman but who also explains that she's not, because asari have no gender. This is the first time he really even thinks about these things, but it's pretty easy to swipe all that under a rug and pretend there's nothing to explore regarding his sexuality. Then after two years of being dead and then resurrected, he's reunited with Liara but the feelings just aren't there, and it's so bittersweet because Liara seems to also have fallen for someone else (Feron) and they know Shepard and Liara wouldn't work anymore but they still care about each other. They talk about it and decide to stay as just friends. His relationship with Liara also has a huge impact on why Kaidan was lowkey acting like a bitter ex during ME2
Shepard then meets Jack - a woman who also greatly suffers from comphet - and they find comfort from each other. And Jack being open about her bisexuality also makes Shepard really think about these things as well, and he slowly starts to explore his own sexuality too. In ME3 we see him comfortably flirting with his male friends and then Kaidan also opens as a romance option and damn is it rewarding when there's been a slow buildup for three games and then they finally get together

Top 5 Video Game Moments
Mika, I started writing out the answer to this one and quickly realized that it would have just been all Mass Effect. So, you're getting two lists for the price of one.
Top 5 Video Game Moments (excluding Mass Effect)
The AI Turo/Sada boss fight in Scarlet/Violet (There are so many good touches in this scene, especially when the AI says it doesn't want to fight you.)
The Ending of Pokemon Black/White, particularly when you're fighting N and Ghetsis at the Castle
Far Cry 5's Opening Mission, especially in the Church
When Wheatley betrays you in Portal 2
Byleth's Reunion with Dimitri in the Blue Lions route post timeskip (It's just so sad...)
You know what I'm including a sixth: The Ashtray maze in Control.
Honorable mention to this scene in Fire Emblem Engage
Top 5 Mass Effect Moments
Conversation with Sovereign in ME1 (No Villain has ever gone so hard.)
Colonist background Mission in ME1
Shepard Appearing from the Rubble at the end of ME1
Leaving Earth
"I Won't Let Fear Compromise Who I Am"-One of my favorite Commander Shepard Quotes
