Simon Petrikov really is the dad of all time.
Continuing my Adventure Time binge and I got to the Gunter/Orgalorg bits. Ice King took this horrible, cruel alien menace who's been seeking ultimate power for millennia and loved him, cuddled him, disciplined him (sometimes undeservedly) and overall sucked him into his deluded family unit. He did this for so long that when Gunter finally was given a chance for ultimate power -via the wishing crown - he chose instead to become Ice Thing. To become like his dad.
Simon dadded so hard that he turned two eldritch beings with capacity for immense destruction into daddies girls.

“Well, dear Father,” she said, “as you insist upon it, I beg that you will bring me a rose. I have not seen one since we came here, and I love them so much.”
— Beauty and the Beast
One of the things that struck me as interesting when I first watched Fallout, was the name choice for Lucy's mother — Rose. I believe it's a very symbolic and deliberate choice, adding to the show's Beauty and the Beast motif.
In the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Beauty's father angers the Beast by taking a rose from his garden. In exchange for his life, the Beast requests one of his daughters; the one who is courageous enough and loves her father enough to come willingly to his castle. Thus, the rose is the incident that moves the plot forward and the reason why Beauty meets the Beast in the first place.
Well, this is very similar to what happens in Fallout, albeit in a more intricate way.
We are first introduced to Lucy's mother in the very first episode when Lucy tells her father that she wishes her mother was at her wedding. During the show, we see glimpses of her mother and she's always surrounded by vegetation and sunlight.
The inciting incident that triggers the plot in Fallout is Moldaver's attack in Vault 33. Eventually, we learn how the Raiders gained access to the neighboring Vault 32 from the surface. It was thanks to Rose's Pip-Boy. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the first time her name is ever shown which puts an even greater emphasis on it.) The question of how they obtained it, is left for the last episode.
Finally, the fate of Shady Sands is revealed. It was none other than Lucy's father who found Rose, took the children back home, and destroyed the once lush and populous city. He literally plucked the rose from the garden. His action led to Moldaver raiding the Vault, using Rose's Pip-Boy, and consequently, Lucy bravely leaving the Vault to look for her father, meeting the Ghoul in the process.
Coincidence? I think not.
