Captain Anderson, who was betrayed by his closest allies, forced to give up his ship, and a job he’d spent decades striving for, watching his replacement drive the Mako off a cliff for the eighth time

This really happened I was there I officiated the wedding

I’m going into Dragon Age Veilguard with the intent to romance Davrin since everyone else is hellbent on romancing Lucanis and Emmerich so when I stream it you can watch in real time and see if BioWare has finally gotten their shit together and made a black character who isn’t a racial stereotype (Jacob), was in a heavily bugged game that was unplayable when it was released (Liam) , dead (Anderson), or had all of his character content cut to make more room for a white character (wasn’t BioWare, it was Larian but with the way people are in fandom in general I wouldn’t put it past Bioware to cater to their whiter fanbase if a white character got all the hype)

The mental image of Shepard going up to Wrex after all these years and being like "oh yeah I'm a parent now :) meet my krogan son, isn't he precious?"

And being the most annoying human alive about it. Each single interview afterwards has them hijack the conversation to talk about their son Grunt and how many kills he got last mission. They're so confident and passionate that no one in the whole galaxy dares to ask how did a human birth a krogan.

Anderson immediately summoned Shepard on an emergency to his office, demanding they explain what those interviews were about. But he doesn't care about the fact that Grunt is a krogan. He is just very mad at Shepard for not telling him he's a grandpa sooner. He demands time with his grandson and at least 200 pictures to hang around his office.

Imagine if this Shepard romanced Kaidan or Ashley before and after the break up on Horizon, they turn on a random TV channel to find out their ex, the commander Shepard, has a whole son now.

Ashley's mind is boogled, and she wonders if Grunt is related to her somehow because he definitely has her temper and speech.

Kaidan's heartbroken that you moved on so fast, and how come you didn't name your son after the agreed names you two came up with for your future children?

Meanwhile, Grunt who thinks this is just a human thing and tags along for the ride because funny humans and their weird lives.

Round 1 Part 6 Poll 6

Propaganda

David Anderson helps you steal the ship in-game. Legend

Captain Wentworth's one of Jane Austen’s best written love interests. He is rejected by the woman he loves because her family tells her he isn’t wealthy enough, so he goes off to sea to pine, becomes a captain and gets rich, then goes back and sweeps her off her feet

Ambassador Udina: Anderson? What are you doing here? I didn't send for -- hunh. Shepard: Let's go. Get out of here, Joker. Now!

[creaturefeaturecommando]

My question is, who the fuck snitched that Shepard got with Garrus after she and Kaidan broke up ? Which one of them snitched ? She had no communication with anyone so someone had to have snitched or let it slip ? Was it Joker ? Because she has the right to beat their asses because Kaidan couldn’t have found this out by himself. Who the fuck snitched ? I can’t see her telling Anderson about her cross species liaison and she definitely didn’t tell James. So who fucking snitched ?

I'm Proud of You

“Commander,” Anderson’s voice was deep, gravelly.

Shepard made his way over, body weak.

“We did it,” His own voice was shaky.

The other man gave a rough, pained side smile.

“Yes, we did.,” There was a moment's pause as neither man spoke. A cough came from the older man. “It’s quite a view,”

Shepard had to smile himself, he could feel his hand grow wet, warm. “Ha, best seats in the house,”

Silence stretched for a few seconds.

“God,” Anderson’s voice was tired, so very tired. “Feels like years since I just sat down,”

“I think you earned a rest…” Shepard answered, looking over to the other man when there was no response, no sound. “Anderson?”

A very weak hum was the older man’s response.

Panic weakly gnawed at the Commander, he wanted to reach out to Anderson but his arms were just too weak so he settled on his words. “Stay with me; we’re almost through this,” He tried to reassure.

There was another silent pause.

“You did good son, you did good,” The older man’s words weakened, grew quiet with every syllable. Yet another pause came from the man.

“I’m proud of you.”

Shepard couldn’t even grin. “Thank you, sir…” He tried through a closed throat. He turned to look at the other soldier. Weak, wained anxiety gripped his lungs. “Anderson?...” He choked out, though he already knew there would be no response. 

A fresh wave of panic shot through him, energy suddenly pounding in his ears.

“No… Hey, no, c’mon Anderson,” His tongue felt fat as he tried to talk, his words slowed and slurred. “You can’t… you can’t…”

Shepard swallowed slowly. Metal bit against his throat. “You were here with me from the start; you’ve been by my side since the beginning. Saren, Cerberus, Earth…” His vision blurred; maybe blood loss, maybe tears. “Don’t… Don’t leave me alone. Not now, not when we’re so close… Please, sir, please don’t…” 

His begs fell on silent ears.

Lighting went off behind the Commander; the sound felt comforting. 

“God, how long has this all been? How long have we been fighting?” He asked out loud, hoping Anderson could still hear him. Hoping someone was listening. “It feels like forever; it feels like this is all we’ve been doing, trying to stop this. I…” His throat closed, and tears, he knew it was tears this time, welled in his eyes. “I’m sorry, sir,” He said quietly. “I should have tried harder, been stronger, worked sooner. We could have… I could have…” The words were lost on his tongue. 

The Commander looked over to his friend, stone still. He weakly reached a hand over, gripping the older man’s shoulder.

“You deserved better,” His voice shook, and tears slipped down his face into his scars. “You always deserved better. Better than Udina, better than the Alliance, better than… me,” He gritted his teeth. “I’m sorry, Anderson, I’m so sorry. I… I’m glad I made you proud; I did that, at least,” Shepard took in a shaky, weak breath. “You were… you were like…”

The man’s arm fell away, too weak to even grip Anderson’s still shoulder. For a moment, everything was silent, stone-cold silent. It hurt the Commander’s ears. Then, he tilted his head down, looking at the hand he had covering his wound. Shepard pulled away, he couldn’t help but frown at the blood he saw. When had it become so much? When had all of this become so much? 

All those years ago, when everything had started… He would have never guessed what it would have become. He would have never guessed this. The Commander looked back towards Adnerson, or he tried to.

The man still didn’t move.

“I… I want this to be over, Anderson,” He whispered, just in case anyone else could hear him. “I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m tired, so damn tired,” He let more tears form, more of them fall. A sob passed his lips. “There were times where I wished that beacon on Eden Prime would have…” He trailed off. He didn’t want to say that out loud. Not in front of Anderson. “I need it to be over; I can’t do it anymore. It’s… It’s gotta be over…” 

Shepard forced himself to look fully at Anderson, to place a hand on the man’s arm.

“Be there for me when it is all over. Please, just…”

The Commander squeezed the older man’s arm, letting one last tear fall.

“I don’t want to be alone.”

Anderson's death scene always makes me cry like a baby and I wanted to use that sadness and write angst. Please and thanks.
