I feel like thrash would try really really hard to get along with Gerald but Gerald would constantly and jealously pull the adult male equivalent of a mean girl pretending to compliment you while spreading rumors behind your back.

"omg nice tuxedo!"

*1hour later alone with Hancock

"I heard that mute themmie has the crabs "

[ghoul-oc-lore-archive]

Gerald getting his fucking juggalo snazaroo face paint all over hancocks bacon face and then promptly breaking the dramatic shoujo art style to vomit blood everywhere

[ghoul-oc-lore-archive]

I always saw Gerald's relationship with handcock as extremely toxic, Gerald would fuck around on Hancock behind his back or push him straight into delving further into his own addictions, I know it sounds massively cringe but I kinda wanna write fic around this dynamic.

Just think it'd be kinda kinda gay and kinda dramatic for there to be a big payback scene where Hancock confronts him verbally,

Gerald gets annoyed with the sudden pushback and starts purposely digging for soft spots to lance and prod

He goes on about people he's killed or fucked over right under Hancock's nose and eventually finishes out with the cheating confirmation

Hancock snaps and pins him to a wall,

eventually there's a manipulative kiss by Gerald during the wall pin that ends with a knife shish kabobbed straight through his chest

Gerald and thrash are almost perfectly inverse

Gerald pretends to be polite and is well worded but at heart is a festering piece of shit that feasts on corpses makes fun of his (not)dead wife. He frequently does sketchy or fucked up or selfish things behind Hancock's back.

Thrash seems rude and unintelligent just by virtue of their bullet brain damage effecting certain skills required for communication, no one seems to be able to read Thier heart easily until they prove through action that they're almost saint like. They refuse to eat corpses Because they're normal. they don't kill or steal from people who don't deserve it or cheat on Thier partners.

Gerald would HATE thrash. Gerald would see thrash as a threat because all of his friends would instantaneously like thrash for being mildly Off-putting but with a heart of gold.

[ghoul-oc-lore-archive]

Hancock would be a little put off by thrash at first because of the one word responses and mildly unpredictable behavior but would probably grow to see them as one of his best drinking partners.

Unfortunately for thrash that means listening to a dude divulging his entire lifes history but they don't mind because it's the first time someone's actually attempted to talk to them in a while

[ghoul-oc-lore-archive]

Thinking about how thrash would only really ever meet gerald post the events of NV, feel like they'd end up being bored after pulling a yesman ending and end up wandering the wastes aimlessly in search of meaning.

I love them so much

[ghoul-oc-lore-archive]

Thrash I love you you are my everything I love you thrash thrash I love

Still thinking about thrash lore

Things I've settled on

-selectively mute

-refers to self in the third person

-mumbles such hits as "blood" and "mincemeat" before filling someone's torso with lead

-isnt seen as able to process or understand conversation at first by strangers because of this, people who get to know them know this is absolutely not the case

-still technically has the ability to speak but can only fully get the point across with short phrases, full sentences are usually word salad

-has some form of brain damage post bullet that has severely altered Thier ability to communicate

-gets along very well with Christine

-has created a completely new hand gesture based communication system similar to sign language to talk shit about people behind thier backs with Christine and Arcade

-upon being permitted to the legion camp walked into Caesars tent and sprayed his brains across the canvas

-tolerates benny

-has worked out a deal not to pop Benny's head open like a grape so long as he always wears some combination of shorts socks and sandals

-looks up to dean domino greatly

-once invited Dean to thier talent show performance at the kings school in freeside. Dean reluctantly came

-spent the entirety of the act inaudibly mumbling along to somethings gotta give while turned in a completely opposite direction from the crowd

-has a slapstick routine with Hadrian that people admittedly enjoy greatly.

-has an official degree from a clown school in reno

-wears the same tuxedo every day

- everyone thinks they dont do thier laundry but this is only half true, they have an entire closet full of the same exact tuxedo at the 38 presidential suite and they've been carrying nearly 120 of them in thier backpack the entire time.

-they walk fast because thier legs are well developed from the constant carry weight add on of 120 pairs of tuxedos and approximately 15 automatic weapons

-will not stop shooting legionaries until they are unrecognizable mincemeat even when they're already dead, hence why they mumble the word mincemeat when angered, this is compulsion, if they are bothered while doing this they will bite.

-tolerates the NCR on the surface but chose the option to nuke them while in the divide

-used Thier massively caked legs to steal and get away with all of the gold bars within the sierra Madre vault.

-physically cannot make themselves walk at a normal pace that isn't some variation of speedygonzalezzing on Thier tiptoes, all companions can't stand this

-has asked arcade out multiple times and been rejected in all of them, arcade refuses to be truthful that it's because they're a ghoul and let's them down gently every time but he still sees them as a valued friend

-will kill NCR if given a good reason, such as the attack on the prison

-not explicitly non-binary but literally no one can tell what gender they are because they speak so softly and have 0 distinguishable secondary sex traits while clothed in oversized baggy tuxedos. No one has thought to ask.
