my step mom was asking me more questions about the nonbinary thing and after talking to me for a bit, she said "oh, so youre a rosé! not a chardonnay transitioning to a merlot, just your own unique type" which was such a middle aged white woman way to frame it, but i cannot lie gang. it did make me want to cry
One of my favorite pastimes is imaging what Fallout would look like if it were based on the present instead of the 1950s. Here are some of my best ideas for this.
• Furry gangs. Lots of them. I haven’t fleshed this out any further because honestly? I don’t need to. Anyway you implement this into the Fallout universe will be perfect. You can’t change my mind on this.
• The Brotherhood of Steel are all weebes who think that Gundam is a historical archive. They saw pictures of the Gundam statues and thought they were real. They also worship Katy Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl Performance as they believe that video depicts a goddess descending to earth to bestow the Gundam with divine blessings.
• The Kings still exist. Nothing about them has changed. They exist in all universes and in all timelines.
• I think there would be more people cosplaying is revolutionary war figures, but I don’t think they’d be on the side of benevolently helping farmers. They’d be terrorists.
• The Tunnel Snakes would be based on the Grease cinematic works, adding Pink Ladies into their midst.
• Their would be a lot more fundamentalist cults. Like soooooo many cults.
• The Children of Atom would be “radiation truthers” convinced that radiation poisoning is a conspiracy cooked up by the shadow government to keep everyone docile.
• Goth gangs. Again, I don’t need to elaborate on this as one of the crucial flaws within the Fallout franchise is the lack of goth girls in fishnets.
I’ll add more as I remember them. Feel free to drop your own ideas below. The stupider, the better. Definitely don’t think about them, the ideas are better raw and unrefined.
trans guy who doesn’t realize he’s turning into a werewolf because he assumes it’s all just normal side effects of starting testosterone
Thinking about a scenario where some big evil threatens Albion during Sparrow's reign as queen and she and the other three heroes unite once more to deal with the threat while her son has to be left at home with his little sister. Then the big evil threat comes knocking on their door while Sparrow can't get to them, Walter is knocked down and Logan knows he has to protect his little sister but he doesn't know what to do so he just hugs her and screams and then releases a powerful wave of magic to destroy the enemy.
Basically Logan having Will is on my mind all the time and in this essay I will-
her fucking smile when she looks down at Rhaenyra, like her entire face scrunches up because her girlfriend Favourite Person is right there in front of her and someone sedate me I’m going feral-
Something I made a couple of years back. Man, I love Gob.
I see no lies.
Random Fo4 Companions Headcannons.
With no explanation or order, because I said so.
Gage fucking hates coconut. Also tatos/tomatoes. And he's never eaten muscles/clams/squid but you couldn't make him. Honestly I see him being more of a picky eater than he would ever admit to. If you took him to a red lobster he'd sit in the bar with nothing and noticibly and angrily glare at you or the lobsters the whole time.
Danse loves kids, teaching them, working with them ect. But not only is he socially awkward as all hell, he's naturally a bit commanding which to kids is scary and to teens is annoying. He's aware of this, but has no idea how to mediate it so he just, "heyyyy....champ?"
Cait is the same way with kids but she just dips.
Playing poker with deacon would be like holding a staring contest with a statue.
Having a staring contest with x6 would be like playing poker with deacon.
A poker match or staring contest between deacon and x6 is like taping bread jamside up to a cat.
Dogmeat does that thing that cats do and tries to sit/sleep right on your chest and suffocates you.
Strong loves playing with toys, and wishes he had someone to play fight with. Also he understands that he's a super mutant and still feels like humans should be food, but still doesn't know why people don't like him and it makes him sad.
Piper is evil.
Preston sleeps in the fetal position. He also overheats a lot, but then gets cold, so sleeping soundly is an event for him. He would also make the best educator, of any level. Mainly cause he's clear and precise but also cause if you're stupid (like me) he doesn't get mad if you need things explained.
Ada is actually capable of moving faster but simply chooses not to.
Curie has a crush on Danse, but doesn't understand what that is emotionally so she just likes to watch him and try to learn about him. Danse finds this unerving and weird, but she's essentially harmless so he doesn't make her stop.
Old Longfellow is very lonely and just wants someone to tell stories to. (This might just be cannon ngl)
Codsworth is in denial about the bombs and the death of soles spouse and Shaun being gone. Synth Shaun wouldn't be able to shake him, and if ss chooses a romantic partner, codsworth is both very overly chummy with them, but also super passive-aggressive aggressive towards them.
Ham cooked loves lotion and stuff. Obviously it doesn't really do anything for him, but it's like cat nip to him. He just wants to rub it all over his face.
MacCready(how tf is ur name spelled dude???) sucks at taking care of others people's kids. He'll fight them, but like on their own level.
Kid: "you're a meanie!"
Mac: "Well YOU'RE A POOP FACE!"
*collective gasps and oooo's from other kids watching*
