can I just say, I'm still deeply haunted by the fact that the vanguard at the malleus key laid out around their perimeter symbols of worship that were trophies from the fallen. they were put there as "a warning, and a sign of pride." can i just bring that up again because that was so, so haunting

after the other shenkos ever so cruelly reminded me of the shared "are you flirting with me?" line shep and kaidan have in me3, i just need to cover my favorite things about it.
so there are like, two main flavors of shenko, right. the trilogy romance run and the me3 romance run. the "are you flirting with me?" line takes on different meanings with each one, and they're both so good.
with a previously romanced kaidan, it's funny because it takes on more of a silly "haha let's pretend we're new at this" joke. like "oh, we have to start from the beginning again, looks like we're back to basic flirting LOL". i know people say this line makes more sense with an unromanced kaidan, but i do really love the idea of it being a goof between the two of them as their relationship recovers.
while unromanced, you've got kaidan, who's been pining since me1, but has been dealing with commander "i'm married to my job. also i died and joined cerberus" shepard. and kaidan's genuinely just so fucking flabbergasted at the mere notion that 1. this seems to truly be the shepard he remembers and has feelings for, 2. that shepard might be into him and 3. that shepard is possibly flirting with him. and then once shepard repeats the "are you flirting with me?" line later, its a mix of this confidence boost, and the "fuck it, the world is ending" mentality that finally leads to kaidan flirting way more obviously and eventually deciding to take his shot. i love it. and like others have said, this could become an inside joke as well.
delicious. im eating the shenko parallels off the fucking floor as we speak. yum.

What time-set is this taking place?
The late Pleistocene, around 12,000yrs ago, in North America!
So during the Younger Dryas (a cooling period, sort of a mini ice age after the Last Glacial Maximum)

i love reading book series as they're being released because in addition to the actual books you get to read 10,000 posts about how every sequel is worse than the first book and at least 500 itemised lists of every plot point set up in the first book which the author supposedly failed to deliver on

i also think there was a power struggle in banter where karl wanted to be the leader which kind of happened with it was just him and sapnap because sapnap was shy. but when george came on then you have his big personality and sapnap got more outgoing with george there and they all got annoyed at someone else interrupting them and someone always got dogpiled on and it just didn’t work. plus them insisting it was in person and they made the bad choice to have it in NC where only one of the three of them live. idk just some not good decision making
poor sapnap 😭 it was cute to see how much more he opened up when george was added but yeah. yeahhhh
