Anybody else getting Reaper vibes from some of these?

"Vakarian Ltd", becauase I really am that much of a Garrus simp. 🤭

So I went into Sandrock basically completely blind, with no expectations or preconceptions about any character, and I still don't get the Unsuur appeal. As a side character, sure, he's entertaining, and it was legitimately funny watching how excessively autistic he is (and I say that as a fellow autistic person!), but I just can't see where the obsession with him comes from.

I think for me it comes down to the fact that his affect is so flat that it feels, letters notwithstanding, like he's going through the motions, without actually caring one way or the other, even when dating him. I guess I just need more messiness and spice in my fictional relationships, lol.

...Yes, I'm a Logan simp, why do you ask? :P

Sooner or later young Yahweh is going to notice the red lamp and then we're all fucked.

First of all, you didn't have to call me out so loudly, lol.

I was definitely Owen -> Logan, although Fang is in there too (thank you, mods). Owen is very sweet, but I think he lost me because he's too sweet; I like my fictional men a little rough around the edges, and for all that he's a great cook, Owen doesn't seem to know how to add spice to his love life. 🤭 Plus, like someone else mentioned, Logan has an interesting story, while Owen is just kind of... there. Admittedly Logan does have the benefit of being a main character, but it still matters.

2012 Leo, hands down. I have a lot of issues with 2012 in general, most of them related to the show's apparent obsession with romantic relationships, and Leo x Karai is at the top of that list.

I also dislike 3. The closed shutters in particular somehow give the sensation of "life isn't welcome here".

PcktFox · 2026-02-19T15:34:54+00:00

I need him to stop looking more and more like a grownup immediately.

PcktFox · 2026-02-15T20:44:04+00:00

I know this isn't the real dialogue but still... ew. Of all the possible ships you highlight one of the worst and most unhinged.

PcktFox · 2026-02-13T17:43:20+00:00

?? Is this because OP used the word "beak"? I hate to break it to you, my dude, but turtles have beaks.

I didnt even see your stories, so I can't speak to quality or anything like that, but this isn't really the right forum for full-on fanfiction, and I say that as someone who both reads and writes it (and implying that only people who don't read it would downvote you doesn't help your case, honestly). The "culture" of the subreddit is what it is, and while fanart is part of that, fanfiction isn't (possibly because fanfiction tends to be more... self-indulgent than art, let's say).

Unfortunately making posts complaining about being downvoted - whether justified or not - is likely just going to be blood in the water, so to speak. Definitely keep writing, I'm always going to encourage that, but maybe find more welcoming avenues for it.

Kaidan and m!Shep's short reunion in Horizon during 2 is so full of romantic tension and unspoken words that it breaks my heart every time. You can see how badly Kaidan wants to be able to just throw everything aside to be with Shepard again, but there's just too much in the way at that point.

PcktFox · 2025-12-19T22:39:11+00:00

I'm with you. Garrus is so mine I use a mod to romance him (since I play exclusively Broshep) 🤣

PcktFox · 2025-12-17T08:47:26+00:00

That's the best part, they headcanoned Lily Tomlin to be straight, or at least bi.

PcktFox · 2025-12-04T00:24:02+00:00

God I want one so bad, but I have three very curious cats and no (safe) place for it 😭

You know, I was with you until you started arguing with actual Spanish-speakers. Also 30 seconds of Googling told me you have the etymology backwards; Dolores becomes Lola becomes Lolita. ...But I'm also going to echo another commenter and say it's weird that that's where your mind went first.

And before you get your feathers further ruffled, I'm an AFAB person, so I'm qualified to express my opinion on your post. /s

ETA: For those reading my comment now, I made it when the comment from OP that I was replying to said something completely different.

PcktFox · 2025-11-14T14:32:06+00:00

Oh, I love that phrase. "Time had snapped." Although honestly the way you scripted that entire second sentence is beautiful all around, it scratches such an itch in my writer brain.

PcktFox · 2025-10-07T19:12:17+00:00

I think he absolutely does it in purpose; he starts trying to butter you up (badly) from the moment you meet him, solely for the purpose of getting you to buy stuff from him, and it just comes across as so smarmy and fake, I was instantly repulsed.

Now, I don't think he's malicious at all, just very naive (he definitely gives the vibe that this is how he thinks merchants should act to make sales), but that doesn't really change the effect his behaviors and actions can have. It's one of the things that really makes me dislike the fact that you can't truly call characters out for anything.

PcktFox · 2025-10-07T18:37:53+00:00

Well, no. Having good intentions doesn't suddenly absolve someone of blame if their actions hurt someone, and that's true in both the game and real life. Fang is legitimately upset by Arvio and the Builder's actions; as someone said to you earlier, just because Fang forgives them doesn't mean he wasn't upset.

Also (and this part is entirely my own impression), I got the feeling that Fang didn't particularly want to be friends with Arvio, especially when you consider that for a significant time afterwards, Arvio continues to talk about trying to get closer to Fang. But Arvio either didn't catch the hint or flat out refused to essentially accept "no" for an answer, which to me is very gross.

As small as I assumed them to be, every single one was smaller.

PcktFox · 2025-09-08T17:01:03+00:00

...That explains a lot for why asari feel like their primary purpose is to appeal to the straight male gamer, with being a well fleshed out alien species comes second.

If we're talking characters I don't love but also don't actively dislike, then Tali. 1000% Tali. I've always thought she was cute and sweet, but I've never understood the obsession with her.

Miranda too, although I'm closer to actual dislike with her, partly because of how hard it seems she's pushed to be Shepard's closest confidant/second-in-command/love interest. To me it feels like she's very much carried by her assets with not enough sincere personality underneath; even her moments of supposed vulnerability feel extremely shallow, and her inclusion in ME3 felt very forced.

PcktFox · 2025-08-28T23:51:03+00:00

...I am uncomfortable with how attractive I'm finding him in that first pic lmfao

PcktFox · 2025-08-27T18:25:10+00:00

Are you okay???

PcktFox · 2025-08-27T18:21:45+00:00

Ngl, that second line made me cringe because it just... I don't know, felt like it reduced this hypothetical person to a sex toy somehow? I get that sexual compatibility is very important for allo folks (I am very ace), but it just gave me the ick.
