the issue with being put into a random body to save your life: A: realizing you Do Not Know the general anatomy/expectations of your new (non-human) body B: AM I GONNA START LAYING EGGS??????????????

also props to Raul for prompting this horrible epiphany in the WORST way possible. Wording goes a long way, man

I had a thought abt how odd it would be to be a cold blooded lizard person and to go from the nice toasty desert temps outside to the noticeably cooler indoors and had an image of my gecko-Courier6 using any nearby warm thing as a napping spot. So naturally I dragged YesMan into it

(He pretends he hates it but secretly he doesn’t mind)

woke up in a cold sweat, what if yes man was on say yes to the dress (pre assertiveness shit) and it's just him being really passive aggressive about dresses

i keep seeing people do the "DOWN BOY!" "Arf!" trend with their courier n Benny and i just keep thinking about drawing it with Cour or Coriander where there's a companion in the background shouting "down boy!" as the courier is swinging a bat at Benny and cracking him upside the head and he makes a muffled 'rrf' of pain as he gets domed

i love to enact violence on checkered little bitchasses in this lucky 38

another idea i had for my ppt 'creepy critters' oc: they find a Bigger Better Body prototype (akin to the Catnap and Dogday encountered in game, but a 'first attempt' in a sense (aka a rough draft)) in a test tube and break him out and bring him back to safe haven.

he's mainly machine, made out of some spare parts from an employee who started poking around where he shouldn't. the first experiment they conducted on him was a failure, so they took what was salvageable from the body and reworked it into something functional just to see if they could. thus, creepy-ass giant-bug-gray-alien-lookin-motherfucker was made and then put on ice. the doctor wasn't interested in him bc he was mostly machine and thus much less interesting than his other experiments, so he was left in containment for a long time (until Baseball came around and busted him out).

perhaps because they were the first one he saw and spoke to, perhaps because they 'saved' him by letting him out of his containment, perhaps because they are the only two bug-based creatures in the facility, Softball becomes Baseball's shadow and follows them everywhere. His loyalty is unwavering and constant, completely and entirely unconditional. He doesn't seem to experience emotions or have many opinions, so there is very little Baseball could do that would make him 'hate' them. Perhaps because of the complete and utter nature of his attachment, Baseball clings to him and comes to seek solace in him more than anyone else.

bonding with the AI that helped you overthrow several small nations by lamenting over how you both will never be seen as a true equal to any of the people around you solely bc you aren't human is selfcare in this gotdam lucky 38

this is my wack ass courier 6 oc, her name is Coriander bc i think it's funny,, she's like 4'-5' tall and sometimes scampers around on all fours but she wants to be taken seriously in a world where everyone assumes she's a gecko that's been put in people clothes for a silly haha joke 😔

other notes: she sticks her tongue out a lot but not on purpose. she hisses her 's' when she speaks, she's actively working on it bc it sounds silly. she mainly sides with the followers of the apocalypse, likes ED-E more than any other companion, and chooses the Yes-Man ending mainly bc House calls her a stupid animal fooling itself into thinking its human and she really, really hates being talked down to that way. also yes she has been picked up and thrown by a super mutant at least once

courier six, how will you play this rigged game? will your hand ring lucky and true? (and do you have a gun in the other, just in case?)

how a mothball becomes a baseball (featuring Yarnaby and Doey)

they knew that some of the others were considered 'too far gone' but one cannot help but... hope, right? maybe this time he would recognize me, you think. maybe if i just speak calmly enough, if i call him by that silly name i gave him ages ago, maybe, maybe, maybe...

and then you are hurt. again. again, and once more again. yet will you stop trying?

baseball, the creepy crawly (smiling) critter (a poppy playtime oc)! they are a botched experimental mid-sized toy based off a silk moth. their sweater and leg warmers are actually fur, and their wings are too small to let them fly at all. their mandibles freaked out a couple of the littler critters when they were first made, so they wear a mask to cover their mouth.

and yes, they do get fluffed when startled/extra flustered. the littler critters find it very funny, and they hate it.

they are quite soft and poofy, and sometimes that means lying down with ur favorite person and letting him use u as a pillow so he actually gets some sleep for once (they don't mind as much as they act like they do)

bonus unfinished small comic of a moment trying to comfort said favorite person

poppy playtime oc/self insert bc i have no self control and i draw to anti-cope (oc info n shit below the cut)

their name is Baseball and they r a silk moth version of a discontinued line of smiling critters that were going to be based off of bugs. they were a little older/more mature than the average kid who got taken and read the most stories out of all the other kids so they r safe haven's designated storyteller. on good days they reenact the stories they can remember or make new ones up, on bad days they use their claws to climb up the walls to hide out in a corner of the ceiling so they don't spread their bad mood to the others. the one person they have any amount of respect for/listen to is Doey and the two make an effort to cheer one another up when they notice the other is in a bad mood.

the face they have here is actually a mask, bc when they were being made they came out scarier than intended- too scary for a kids toy, so they were fitted with a mask/ balaclava so they wouldn't scare the others. their name comes from the stitching on the mask looking, y'know. like a baseball.

they r covered in fluff so the sweater it looks like they r wearing is just fur lmao. they are soft and fluffy and make for good hugs and are more emotionally mature than most of the other kids in safe haven, so they are also the designated hugger whenever one of them needs to cry/be held (especially if Doey isn't around)

on especially bad days, they will randomly decide to venture out of safe haven to wander/find supplies. Doey hates it when they do this bc they never tell anyone when they're leaving and even though they are one of the more nimble/sneaky members of haven, they have gotten themselves in bad spots more than once. they don't talk about why they do these random 'supply runs'. the truth is uncomfortable, and neither wants to acknowledge what the other knows they r thinking. Doey does get mad and will give them a lecture if they do something especially stupid but he knows they hate it when he gets loud so most times he just gives them a lot of angry looks until they apologize

they do not like Poppy and will actively make fun of her in childish ways whenever they hear her talking lmao. they don't trust the Player and will spend any time around them just. staring at them in silence. its mostly awkward but also slightly terrifying. they hate the doctor more than they are scared of him, and spend a lot of time thinking about all the things they would do to pay him back for all the harm he's done. when he is gone, they feel strangely sad about it. they almost miss him, maybe only because it was easier when they had someone to hate and blame for everything. they curl up in a corner of what's left of safe haven and try to daydream their way out of the real world.
