Garrus just hit 6k! Time for a meme!

ASK A QUESTION, it can be anything CFUD related. OOC, IC, relationship/first impressions, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character (relationships and whatnot) or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons

Relationship meme me, bro

[dont_ingest]

Garrus sucks at friendship. Tremendously.

First of all, he's more or less hard-wired to size people up by their potential usefulness in a fight and, well, Ema is a cop from pre-extra solar spaceflight Earth. She's a detective; she's not even special ops or anything. Which in his mind makes her barely more than a civilian. And that means if some world-shatting catastophe pops up, she's best suited for keeping non-combatants calm and organized in shelters and not on the battlefield herself. So he was pissed and thickheaded and confused about why she didn't want to go. And he feels bad that he had to cold-cock her, and that he would unquestionably do it again. So he fully expects Ema not to like him anymore! She's not wrong to be angry at him! He wants to just quietly accept this and stew over how he's screws up all his relationships ever. But she hasn't, so he's also sort of paranoid that Ema might have A FEELING for him and oh god all of the embarrassment and please stop hugging me before Mordin makes me watch the vids.~

Don't worry Garrus, soon.

Soon.

RELATIONSHIT PLEASE

[dont_ingest]

Mordin is one of the few New Guys on the Normandy that Garrus actually trusts and even respects (the others would be Thane and Samara). He is ex-STG and Kirrahe's men impressed Garrus enough to think that salarians can be worth something in a firefight! And Mordin did good work on Omega, which on some level makes them Omega Bros. He killed a lot of Blue Suns in cold blood, which is A++ in his book.

Mordin's smart and someone that Garrus feels he can trust to look to for advice if he needs it. So he's glad to have Mordin in Camp not just because he's a doctor who can actually tend to him in case of emergency, but because he's a good person that Garrus rather likes.

Reverse at me Doktor /o/

RELATIONSHIP WITH ZEX (if only, sob)

uhhhhhh also... Garrus v. Anders, fisticuffs. WHO WINS?

[dont_ingest]

Garrus is inwardly annoyed that ZEX gets into his personal business (aka why are you telling my friends I need hugs :|). Personal issues are a weird line to walk with Garrus because he's like I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OKAY I'M FINE when he does and he's not.

And as for Garrus v. Anders ... HAHAHAHAHAHA Garrus wins. Anders is such a lightweight and not really good for fistfights, unless he managed to cast rock armor real quick. Then he might last a little bit longer.

reverse relationship at me, ZEX

[soviet_catboy]

ZEX has (belatedly) realized that Garrus is a cop and ZEX is military, so of course there're gonna be some things that just don't line up, professionally. Also, ZEX sees Garrus as very flawed with internal scarring as well as external, which makes him sort of dashing in a weird way but on a personal level sort of annoying because he doesn't just do what ZEX tells him to do. Or he wouldn't, if ZEX told him to do things. ZEX tries not to do that because he likes not being headbutted.

All in all, ZEX wants to help Garrus, but that takes a backseat to just... sort of letting Garrus do his own thing. ...Most of the time. If ZEX thinks he's being stupid he'll step in. ("I'M NOT FIT TO LEAD PEOPLE SHOULDN'T TRUST ME MY LIFE IS PAIN" "Just... look, the Detective has boobs. Ponder on those and forget about your drama for one minute, please.") ZEX likes to think that they are bros, but is prepared to give Garrus a verbal smackdown if he tries to push people too far away. FRIENDS ARE GOOD FOR YOU, OFFICER. YOU WILL MAKE FRIENDS. O

[dont_ingest]

:|a Garrus is honestly more military than cop! For him there's very little difference between the two-It's a turian thing. But, Garrus is ... not a good turian. He gives a certain amount of deference to people in authority, particularly military people, but if he doesn't respect their authority, he doesn't listen to them. He'll blow you off and do his own thing.

Anders is a lazy douchewizard! He enjoys flirting, not getting in trouble, running away, and cats. He plans to take up knitting. His party banter; and he loves his kitty

There is a horrible fanfiction version of him in Dragon Age II that someday I will write a big long rant about.

relationship/impressionssss?

[dont_ingest]

Garrus likes Jaime! He sadly hasn't 'clicked' with him as much as Ronan, but he knows that Jaime is a Good Kid and he wouldn't mind getting to know him better (like what's up with the super suit). There are a bunch of kids here, and dammit, somebody has to be a responsible adult! So he's more or less taken Jaime and Ronan under his wing as 'his' kids.

reversse?

[reach_within]

SO Ronan joked and called Garrus "space Batman" during the whole post with the exploding things, but uh the I'm-disappointed-in-you-without-actually-saying-I'm-disappointed-in-you-you-can-do-better-than-this conversation actually did kind of remind Jaime of the Batman he knew a bit ha ha ha. at this point he more or less looks up to him as an authority figure and would be kind of bummed if he did let him down like that -- partially because he seems like an all-around decent guy himself and partially because at times his attitude taken reminds him of people back home.

HI GARRUS JAIME SAID I HAD TO TAG.

so relationship meme meeee Garrus and Ronan, and Anders and Hope if there's an impression.

[dont_ingest]

HI RONAN.

Alright, so as I mentioned to Jaime! The counselor jobs here may be bullshit but that doesn't mean that Garrus is above looking out for kids, and Ronan and Jaime he's unconsciously claimed as 'his.' He's gonna look out for you two and BE DISAPPOINT AT and proud of your science projects!!! And like, if you guys do call him 'Uncle Garrus' that is actually completely okay with him. I mean, he actually started going by 'Archangel' on Omega, and how dorky is that name?

At first he just saw Ronan as an enterprising kid with a penchant for creating homemade projectiles and/or explosions. As a fan of projectiles and explosions, he couldn't help but be amused because they were more or less keeping it away from the other Campers. And then Ronan jesused at Garrus a bit before dinosaur titties hit the fan and it was a real (Paragon) Shepard moment, which was followed up by Ronan claiming that he 'was' the law during awkward bathtimes. CONCLUSION: RONAN IS THE TINIEST SPECTRE.

So enjoy your snarky hardass new dino-uncle.

[awizarddidnt]

As for Anders and Hope: Anders is really, really happy he's not a l'Cie, although as a Grey Warden he's not that much better off. He doesn't have any problem being 'out' as a mage, but he will keep the FFXIII's casts' secrets.

Also Ronan reverse at me about Garrus, and Hope on Anders if there's any mutual impressions.

[tobethemiracle]

JAIME DIDN'T MENTION THIS but Ronan thinks that Garrus is really cool, not in a Batman way, but in a "he is so awesome and competent and oh god I am crushing on him THIS IS STUPID". Jaime's gotten close to getting this truth out of Ronan, which Ronan is utterly mortified about and refuses to speak about it ever so. Yes. He is never going to tell Garrus because a) embarrassing and b) it interferes with his other opinions of Garrus.

On another level, Ronan thinks that Garrus is really lost in a way that he can't quite put his finger on. He knows that he's a far more hard nosed cynic than Ronan is, he knows that something happened and he knows that there's something profoundly unhappy about him. Ronan's not sure what it is, but he keeps thinking that that is the only way to describe him: profoundly unhappy and lost. He doesn't know what to do about it
