the dog from teletubbies. perfect creature
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.
Elder Maxson is so funny to me bc he’s this head honcho of the most organized modern post-war militia in the Wasteland and he’s 20 and still has a baby face and uses a beard to hide it but it makes it worse actually
"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody

“Death and the Lady” by Joseph Hall (1906)
Sometimes a family is you, your 200-year-old mom, her sad robot boyfriend, your dead father, your other dead father who your mom says was really your brother
Your uncle/fourth dad, your cousin/brother, his dead mom
A noir detective, his secretary, his weird brother from Maine, and your evil cyborg fifth dad who haunts his brain
The Irish pit fighter who doesn’t like you but follows your mom around like a puppy
A French medical researcher who’s also a robot
A militiaman with clinical depression
Your weird uncle you think might be a shapeshifter
A reporter and her 12-year-old sister
A cool drug-abusing mayor with no skin and a bodyguard who might be his daughter
The sad robot boyfriend’s one (1) friend, also sad
Your mom’s estranged grandson the Terminator
A handful of neighbors including a mechanic, a couple with lots of emotions, a former fortune teller, and the guy whose personality is “salesman for a company that no longer exists”
Your seventh parent the butler (actually a robot this time)
The dog who’s a part-time detective, the cat your mom stole off a giant airship, and the giant cannibalistic ogre who functions more like a pet than the other two.
And that’s okay.

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
