Shep/ Kaidan

[galacticheroine]

1. who cooks normally?: UM probably Kaidan more than Shepard? I actually don't have the common 'tough girl can't cook' trope under Shepard's list of fabricated flaws, considering she was a colony kid and farmer besides, it makes sense that she's learned to cook. She's probably better at it over a campfire than at a kitchen, and has a more methodical 'measuring and mixing' than artistic flair, but she can cook. Kaidan is probably just better at it and enjoys it more.

2. how often do they fight?: PROBABLY DEPENDS. ranging from once or twice to several times of week, depending on how much stress is coming in outside and how much that's affecting their moods. Considering my Shepard is paragon her personal views line up more with Kaidan's, but there's still arguing. Just not as much as with a renegade Shepard.

3. what do they do when they’re away from each other?: ...their jobs? you mean to keep in touch? extranet emails, the occasional future version of sexting, video chats, idk.

4. nicknames for each other?: a;ldsfkj I think the closest they get is when they refer to one-another by their formal titles in ~seductive~ or teasing voices. "baby" and sugartits and all that stuff just doesn't... really... sound right. probably the most intimate "nickname" would be when Kaidan uses Shepard's first name, since she pretty much exists primarily as her surname.

5. who is more likely to pay for dinner?: I think they fight over the bill sometimes. Shepard makes more than Kaidan being a superior officer, but Kaidan isn't exactly hurting and while chivalry is probably legitimately mostly dead by the 22nd century, Kaidan still likes to be a gentleman and show his appreciation for his lady's company by paying for dinner.
Eventually they might compromise and just pay for one-another's meals and split the tip, idk.

6. who steals the covers at night?: lol biotics. except in the dead of a Vancouver winter, those covers probably end up getting kicked off before the night is through. Shepard is probably more of a burrower than Kaidan is, but if she's got a warm body to curl up against instead of covers, she's picking that every time.

7. what would they get each other for gifts?: guns and schematics and mods. jewellery gets caught in armour and neither one of them are particularly material hoarder types. Oh maybe new model ships for Shepard.

8. who kissed who first?: uhhh it was pretty mutual. Shepard grabs Kaidan's face but he's just as present in that first kiss animation so.

9. who made the first move?: despite what people say about how Kaidan is creepy and starts stalking Shepard the second she breathes near him, you have to show that interest in him to get him to realize 'oh i think she might like me should i ask i think i'll ask because what is flirting'

So. If you don't flirt with him first, he won't flirt with you. Simple fucking concept there, people. Kaidan may make the first like, legitimate "I'm getting some signals, maybe some static" move, but Shepard's got moves of her own before that. Esp if you just straight up go for "what do you think?" when he asks if she makes a habit of getting to know all her crew.
/rant

10. who remembers things?: Kaidan probably remembers more small things than Shepard does. To be fair she's got two years of her life missing and her brain has bits of metal in it, so her memory is a little fuzzy sometimes. She'll remember important shit.

11. who started the relationship?: Shepard, because Kaidan is always trying to give her a way out of it and by the end of the game she's just like 'JUST FUCK ME ALREADY.' only you know in a more Shepardy way, but the sentiment is there.

12. who cusses more?: we actually hear Kaidan cuss more than Shepard does. The way I play Shepard tends to fall in line with that, in that she generally only curses when she's frothing at the mouth, but in general they probably swear around the same amount? idk. how do you gauge that.

13. what would they do if the other one was hurt?: hah Shepard has shown that in the line of duty she'll lose her cool if Kaidan is in harm's way, and while overall you can blow it off as well she gets upset when anyone under her command gets hurt considering that JHale did different takes on the "LET HIM GO" line and the way it's said varies depending on if you romanced Kaidan or not, it's... very obvious that while Shepard can stay controlled even under duress, where Kaidan is involved she will rip something apart with her bare hands to keep him safe.

He's obviously the same way, because bawww ending scenes.

Shep /Carolyn

1. who cooks normally?: ...probably neither. they're busy bitches, make someone else do it.

2. how often do they fight?: I think it's more disagreements stemming from one of them coming from a utopia-esque take on the galaxy and the other kind of coming from the scary horror galaxy with no awesome FTL travel.

3. what do they do when they’re away from each other?: ...work? be ship captains? facepalm at stupid people and then text one-another about it?

4. nicknames for each other?: LOL NOPE

5. who is more likely to pay for dinner?: THIS IS PROBABLY ANOTHER SITUATION OF SHEPARD AND THE SO GETTING INTO ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHO PAYS.

6. who steals the covers at night?: Carolyn totally. She's all skin and bones and probably shivers like a Chihuahua.

7. what would they get each other for gifts?: ...guns?

8. who kissed who first?: in a speculative manner, probably Shepard would kiss Carolyn first? She's more emotionally forward than Carolyn seems to be.

9. who made the first move?: ^^^^^^^^^^

10. who remembers things?: lmao neither one of them they're both fucking brain damaged.

11. who started the relationship?: WHO SAYS THERE HAS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP

12. who cusses more?: oh Carolyn totally.

13. what would they do if the other one was hurt?: probably shoot to kill whatever hurt the other one.
