The Thing About Being Nonbinary Is That You Really Do Start To Forget That Other People Have Such Strict

My original playthrough girls

My kid cousin, all of 11 years old, called me up sobbing today. I had about 50 horrifying reasons popping up in my head when he stopped crying enough to ask one question

“Cap’s not Hydra, right?”

A bit of background on why this made sense to me: My cousin was 3 when me and my brother bought him a cute Captain America hoodie. He was 5 when he first caught sight of his dad’s comic collection. He was 8 when he insisted on dressing up as Captain America for a contest at school. He was 9 when he first got bullied and his mom used Captain America as a symbol to tell him to always be kind in strength, to know that he was a better person. He got his Marvel encyclopedia last year for his birthday and every time we meet, me and him have hours long discussions on the characters. His favorite Avenger is Iron Man but he has always been and will always be a Cap’s boy. Steve Rogers has helped him appreciate his own strengths, has helped him understand that being a good person is much more important than being perfect. He got strength from Cap’s stand against bullying, inspiration from Steve’s ability to be kind and caring about the world even in the worst of situations, and most of all motivation to appreciate his own goodness. To him, he was just like Steve Rogers and I’ve seen that kid be so proud of that.

And today he calls me up, shattered and heartbroken, because his ideals, his dreams and convictions of years have been ripped apart. He felt betrayed and lost, because if Cap, his Cap, could be Hydra, a Nazi organization, then did it mean that he was drawing strength from evil all these years? 

An eleven year old is questioning his life choices. Nick, still think you’re funny?

@cookiemonsterrsims​ asked me for a list of recommended mods for Fallout 4, so I figured I’d just post it publicly for ease of format, and just in case anyone else was curious.

Obviously none of these are necessary, and are completely subjective to your own wants and what your PC can handle, but these are some of the primary mods I use:

CLOTHING/ARMOR MODS

Proto Vault Suit - A slightly different take on the Vanilla vault suit, that is a lot nicer to look at, and it still feels lore friendly.

Commonwealth Survivalist Gear - One of my favorite clothing mods. Creates many new, unique outfits that utilize vanilla assets. Very much lore friendly.

Survivalist Go-Bags - A mod by the same author that adds a nice variety of backpacks that you can create ♥

Eli’s Armour Compendium - Elianora creates some reeeeally neat looking armors/clothes.

Minuteman Outfit Reimagined - Just a mod I personally enjoy - the vanilla colors of the Minutement Outfit really bugged me, and this gives you a few options to replace it. I personally utilized the blue flannel variation :)

Eyewear and Mask Retexture - A mod that really spruces up some of the glasses/goggles/mask textures in the game.

CHARACTER AESTHETIC MODS

LooksMenu - Changes the menu in character creator a bit so that certain features are more easily accessible through a list. Also allows for saving character presets.

Real HD Face Textures 2k - A face texture mod.

Starlight Eyes - The eye texture mod I’m currently using.

Kirs Freckles - Changes the vanilla freckles and adds a bit more character to them.

DeLuxe Makeup - Replaces the vanilla makeups with some that are a lot easier on the eyes.

THBrows - Some nice new eyebrow options for your female characters.

Hair/Facial Hair mods: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

SETTLEMENT RELATED MODS

Spring Cleaning - Allows you to trash a lot more objects in your settlements and make them look more lived-in and clean.

Homemaker - Choc full of new stuff you can build!

Snappy HouseKit - A mod that adds a whole slew of home pieces you can use to build.

Thematic and Practical - Another mod that adds a whole slew of stuff you can build; this one primarily includes unique vendor stalls, furnishings that truly look like they’ve been made from things you’ve scavenged, and a really neat set of Brotherhood of Steel themed build components.

Cozy Beds - Adds a bunch of inviting looking new beds.

OCDecorator - Adds many vanilla items as static objects for placing in your settlements. Great for clutter and making your settlements look lived in.

Do It Yourshelf - Another great mod for making your places look lived in; a variety of shelves and clutter that snap to one another. Even comes with a variation of the clutter items that double as storage for your items!

Gruffydd’s Signs of the Times - A whole slew of signs and posters and so much more.

Orphans of the Commonwealth - Makes it possible for children to come to your settlements.

Lots More Settlers and Enemies - One of many mods that give you a wider variety of settlers.

Snap n’ Build is another FANTASTIC mod, but the author seems to have removed it for some reason. If you can find a reliable download from another website, I would recommend installing it. Comes with many different home shells.

ANIMATION MODS

Idle Hands - Gives your sole a wider variety of idle animations.

Lowered Weapons  - Simply lowers your character’s weapon when you have it out, but it’s not in use.

RETEXTURE/GAME AESTHETICS

Vivid Fallout Series - A series of mods that revamps a lot of the in-game textures, adding details, and in many cases, saving space as well.

DynaVision - Adds customizable depth of field and gives a more unique look to your game.

Fallout 4 Seasons - This is totally dependent on your preference. I’m personally loving the Spring mod.

I hope this has been helpful! ♥

I love these books with my heart, mind, and soul

important things to remember

three houses stood between harry potter and pansy parkinson

mr & mrs weasley fought the battle of hogwarts without knowing where ron was

harry was so caught up in battle prep he forgot about the horcrux thing

neville & his herbology buddies threw mandrakes @ death eaters 

then neville used venomous tentacula to ensnare them

sir cadogan being IN HIS ELEMENT and rushing from painting to painting shouting encouragement @ people

mrs norris hissed & batted at owls

firenze showed up to fight 

poor hermit bewildered alberforth dealt w/ literally hundreds of people passing in & out of his house & then came to fight when he realized what was happening

slughorn finally decided his loyalties

ron: “so what’s new with you?”

colin creevy snuck back in after the evacuation

ron went after the basilisk fangs & remembered parseltongue to get them

hermione’s quick thinking w/ that slide literally saved their lives

mrs augusta longbottom put on her hat before she came to see what the what was up @ hogwarts

even the Headless Hunt people showed up

all the portraits encouraged ppl

instead of grieving in the great hall, ginny went outside, probably to be alone, and found it in herself to comfort a scared, lost girl whimpering for her motherneville & wood gathering the dead

professor trelawney throwing crystal balls down @ people

percy cursed the minister of magic & cracked a joke

minerva in her tartan dressing gown w/ a flock of galloping desks trailing behind

peeves dropped snargaluff pods onto death eaters so they were covered in wriggling, fat green worms

a dying snape was still with it enough to give harry those memories

He is dead!

mcgonagall’s scream

He beat you!

neville charged voldemort and mouthed off to him & slayed tf out of that snake

hagrid had his bro carry him from the cave to hogwarts, got shoved through a window, got carried away by giant spiders, and sobbed & carried dead harry all the way back to hogwarts

harry: i’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime. *immediately joins the aurors*

treebeard and the hobbits

Ashley: “I’m calling the principal” when you tell her your teacher embarrassed you. Made you take karate until you broke your wrist. Gives bear hugs and reads you bedtime stories until you complain you're too old. Has a picture of you as her phone background. Wants to speak to the manager.

Liara: Definitely the leaves notes in your lunchbox with pintrest quotes and kisses you on the forehead in front of all your friends. Bought you “Baby’s first archaeology set″ and liked playing with it just as much as you did. Always making you try her new quinoa recipes. Always up to date on the Tea™ “I think you need to take some time to meditate”

Samantha: Goes to the pet fair 'just to look' but comes back with 3 dogs and a hamster. Sends you funny pictures of them while you're at school. Only has a minivan ironically and never lets you win at checkers. "I'm totally a cool mum"

Miranda: Privately interviews all of your friends (she means the best). Gets your prom outfit professionally tailored. Her relationship advice is always “dump them”. 100% waited for you in the living room sipping wine when you tried to sneak back in after curfew.

Jack: “You’re not allowed to fucking swear” KNOWS for a fact you're better than everyone else’s stupid kids, but sometimes gets a little too competitive (translation: banned from PTA for the next 6 weeks) Shovel talks everyone you bring home. Probably cried after she dropped you off for your first day of school. It can be hard when your mom just loves you so much.

Chakwas: Argues with your school nurse when they won't give you an Advil. She gets more excited about action movies than you. All she had to do was glare at those kids who were bothering you and you never saw them again. Generally laid back because she trusts you, but its hard not to notice her rolling her eyes when you do something against her advice.
