9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

gavin fucking archer in the overlord dlc

i was gonna say tim and that's a whole rant that mostly boils down to him being not only a xenophobic sexist disgusting piece of shit but also the dumbest man alive (his ENTIRE PLAN is the EXACT SAME as desolas's WHICH HE WATCHED FAIL AND KNOWS WILL FAIL except now he's doing it with humans instead of turians so it'll totally work this time, literally last time i listened to his yammering in me3 i just sat there like oh my god this is the same exact shit desolas says in evolution you fucking moron you WATCHED THIS FAIL YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, seriously how fucking stupid are you)

but i'm autistic and just having to listen to everything he says about his little brother, othering him for his autism, like he's a weird lab rat to study instead of HIS OWN FUCKING BROTHER, on top of shoving him into that godawful torture device...... nah man fuck gavin archer fuck him SO much i hate him with a physical burning passion i hate timmy but i hate gavin archer so fucking much more

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

you didn't list one so i'll call it a wild card, so let's go with uhhhh [throws a rock] anderson, fuck it, it's been a while since that time i aired my grievances about anderson and somebody tried to pick a fight in the actual weirdest way ever

saren was right about anderson. he wasn't fit to be a spectre. anderson is a REALLY biased source of information, in the novels saren saves his and kahlee's life before any of them know each other (but notice how neither of them ever mentions thaaaat), anderson insists saren just sabotaged his spectre attempt because he's racist but you know what? anderson sabotaged himself, saren was just reporting what he saw.

anderson doesn't prioritize the mission. he puts his own priorities, specifically saving kahlee which requires going out of their way and putting themselves in even greater danger to do so, over the actual mission they're there to do. on spectre missions, that shit's a no-go. the council flat tells you so in me1, if you save the colonists on feros they're suspicious that you might be prioritizing your own interests. anderson has no concept of "acceptable losses," he disobeys his would-be mentor which could have disastrous consequences since he doesn't know what he's doing - he's got some very deadly idealism going on, and saren's right to stop that shit before it even gets started.

also? js? at the start of me1 when he's talking about the spectre stuff if you pick the renegade options shepard is like "hey maybe i don't want to be a spectre, i'm not sure i'm comfortable with the alliance making this decision for me" and anderson's response is "this isn't ABOUT what you want it's about what the ALLIANCE wants" which is uhhhhh fucking excuse me,

so yeah anderson is not my shepard's space dad and saren was right to tell the council no on him, everyone who thinks i'm writing him unnecessarily hostile in broken mirror has Not taken the renegade options

26. Most shippable character?

uhhh honestly i might have to say it's liara for me?? just because like, i haven't really decided anything for who she ends up with ultimately in my canon,,,, she's got zofia shepard, i like her well enough with feron both platonically and romantically, i got turned on to liara/tela vasir a while back which i dig..... idk man there's a lot of possibilities for liara for me where i can go "yeah aight i can get behind this" so i guess that counts as shippable
