I’ve read a little bit of Ancient Magus Bride/watched a little and the whole wedding thing with an underage character is really making me not want to watch/read more. :/ I was only sold on the premise because people promised me they wouldn’t actually get married until Chise was obviously of age, and this is just too much, you know?

Completely agree. They never come out and say ‘marriage’ but with a dress, veil, rings, and even the two mentioning how close the situation is to one, it’s blatantly obvious that’s what the writers want it to read as. It’s not just her age that makes me uncomfortable with it, but their maturity level too. They’re mentally children.

I think this is the end of The Ancient Magus’ Bride because it’s been so rushed and the whole title has already come to fruition, so I don’t really see them continuing. Not unless they create an entirely new story because they only hinted at two villians here, and one is out of the picture (and also a bit boring to come back so soon) and the other is one to stay behide the curtain and have others do the dirty work. No one else was introduced to become a possible foe, so that also makes me believe it’s over.

I’ll still read the manga when it comes out, just because I’m invested. It’s a shame to see such an interesting world, lore, and characters go the way it has. I guess I’ll just pretend the ending never happened for now.

Alright, I’m going to share some of my Juxtaposed / Chapter 1 Edits

Growing up, Garrus wanted nothing more than to help people and, more importantly, right the wrongs in the galaxy so many seem content to close their eyes to. However, since serving his mandatory years in the military and joining C-Sec as preferred – demanded – by his father, he has found himself doing nothing but standing around the Presidium or walking the same routes repeatedly for hours until his shift finally ends. Every day, he itches beneath his plates for action or change, but none comes. He also has a strong suspicion his extended posting here may be his father’s doing, since normal Presidium postings only extend for a month or two and not the near six-month stint he finds himself with, but he has neither the proof or the means to obtain any. Even the assurances from his commanding officer that it will be any day now when he is finally promoted into a position of importance fall on deaf ears so long as Titus Vakarian’s adamant refusal to allow his son into Spectre training still rings in Garrus’ ears.

you know what’s been on my mind for the past year?

what if Shepard lost Garrus’ trust and loyalty by not letting him shoot Sidonis?

like, i just have this scene in my head of Garrus going ‘I’ll be here until the end of the mission, after that we part ways,’ I’ve no idea what happens after that, but that scene’s been on a goddamn loop!

Thanks! I hate it.

#this is such a sad idea!!!#nooooo#but totally see him going back to palavan#and not being able to ignore the reapers and doing his whole advising thing#and them reuniting on that moon that i cant spell right#and him going with her because victus says so#and despite how he doesnt trust her personally#he /knows/ she’s still their best shot

kind of~~

i mean, here’s what i have so far:

  • if a turian betrays their unity that’s grounds for execution and as bad of a Turian as Garrus claims to be, that’s something he follows unquestionably
  • when shepard attempted to save Sidonis life, to him it was a whole new personal betrayal, so yeah, he doesn’t trust her personal judgement after that
  • he’s even more quiet and reserved after that
  • the suicide mission goes as usual, and Garrus ends up leading the fire team throughout the base, with no casualties
  • afterwards Garrus is the first to disembark on Omega, taking a shuttle straight to Palaven, despite his feelings he knows what’s coming and what he needs to do and he didn’t much think of Shepard blowing up that one relay, though he does believe the claims it was to stall the reapers
  • when the reapers do hit he’s forced on the Normandy by Adrien as an attaché advisor, he has his misgivings about it (add in lots of grumbles and complaints) but he follows the primarch’s order and he makes it clear, he’s there on orders not because he particularly wants to
  • he takes a much more active role in planning the war instead of relying exclusively on Shep and Adrien’s judgement
  • after Tuchanka he asks Adrien to go with him, he feels he can do the most good in Turian space, but Adrien says not (and Shep hears everything)

anyway, i’ll continue to think about this until I have the outline complete in my head.

As someone who always, no matter my Shepard’s morality, let’s Garrus shoot Sidonis (even if I didn’t in Parable, but that doesn’t count), I agree completely with this possiblity.

Garrus is a grown ass man who has every right to kill Sidonis so long as it doesn’t endanger himself or the Normandy crew. Especially from C-sec connecting the dots, but that’s not a part of the games, so there is no reason I see to betray his trust. I can’t see him ever fully trusting (or even starting a romance) with a Shepard that betrays him, so everything @theravenofwynter threw out there as plot points sings to me of a great, angsty fic.

But, alas, Bioware can’t foresee all possibilities in story telling, so we have fanfiction to close the gaps. 😉

shepardluvsgarrus:

Okay but imagine it being well known that Garrus and Shepard have a very healthy sex life. Like, a very health sex life. When they’re not flirting with each other constantly like a couple of teenagers, they’re sneaking off somewhere to having a quickie. They literally can’t keep their hands off each other. Liara finds herself always busy trying to keep their trysts out of the tabloids.

Just imagine Garrus in his office one day, swamped by work when Shepard shows up for a lunch date. Garrus apologizes that he has to cancel, but ultimately it ends up with the two of them all over his desk with papers every.

He missed two meetings that day.

Now I don’t feel so bad about all the sex in Parable 😀
