so there's a theory going around that posits the reason the Brotherhood of Steel is so cruel/engages in extreme brutality in the Fallout show is that it's made up of ex-legionaries (or that it's run by/has combined with Caesar's Legion.)

which sounds like a stretch, maybe, until you remember the Brotherhood characters we meet in the show have been named Maximus, Titus, and Quintus. and that the Brotherhood flags have been depicted in red and gold.

Rewatching the scene between Quintus and Maximus in episode 8, it really struck me how Quintus speaking about power being taken not given is very in line with the "survival of the fittest" mentality of the Legion. I love this theory, it would be very interesting to get a reveal in season 2 that Quintus specifically is ex-Legion.

small thing of kennedy meeting @newbordeaux's lou heh <3

The rifle was in her hands as soon as she felt the hairs on her neck raise, an indication that something—or someone—was nearing. She spun around, leveling the barrel at human height.

"What the fuck are you?!" She had meant to say who, but it was too late now.

The woman in the blue jumpsuit—no, not that kind of blue jumpsuit, more of a grayish-blue mechanic's canvas jumpsuit really—skidded on the dirt and held her hands up, not quite above her head, hovering around her shoulders. Both wrists were laden with Pip-Boys.

"I'm a person. Like you, I think." She slowly dropped her hands as the woman lowered her brandished weapon.

"Me too. Sorry." She holstered her rifle. The other woman seemed harmless enough, which was to say her pistol was holstered and she wore a backpack, a sign of someone traveling rather than someone looking for trouble. "I don't usually see anyone around here besides the brahmin ranchers. You're pretty stupid for sneaking up on me like that." The other woman frowned but nodded, apparently agreeing with the assessment. "I guess I just walk really quietly. Even in—" she stopped herself. Maybe it wasn't the time to mention coming from one of the most privileged places in the entire wasteland. "Well, my name is Kennedy. I'm sorry for sneaking up on you, even if it wasn't on purpose. But what are you doing out here?"

"You can call me Lou." The brown-skinned girl now known to be Lou kicked a small rock at her feet. "I'm heading out to scavenge. I just came from Junktown. You headed that way?"

"Not really, but I could use a rest right about now. Is it a nice place?"

"What do you think? The name's literally Junktown."

"Well, maybe it was a misnomer. I guess any place is probably better than New Reno." "You been to New Reno?" Lou looked Kennedy up and down, taking her in. She didn't seem the type. She looked too…clean. But Lou herself had always wanted to visit New Reno. Maybe not for the more unsavory affairs they conducted there, but she knew most people considered it a fun time.

"I passed through. Someone wanted me to play a vault dweller in a porno movie. But I've never lived in a vault, so…"

"So that's the only reason you said no?" Lou snorted. "You seem kinda dumb, like a vault dweller. And you've got two Pip-Boys."

"You're pretty short and weak-looking to be a scavenger."

Lou opened her mouth to respond, annoyed at the insult, but Kennedy kept talking.

"Sorta dumb, too, telling me where you came from like that. What if I'm a raider, looking for my group's next conquest? You pointed me right in the perfect direction."

Lou scowled, reaching to grab her rifle again. Raider or not, she was getting on her nerves. She hoped to intimidate her into running off.

"You better not grab that gun of yours. I've got one too." Kennedy was pointing the 10mm right at her. Lou had been too offended to notice her unholstering it. "But I don't want to shoot you. I'm not a raider. I'm not a vault dweller, either, and I also said no to the porno because I only fuck with condoms and I didn't trust those guys."

Lou couldn't help but laugh, a breathy laugh of disbelief.

"Alright, I'm sorry, I guess." The 10mm was holstered. "But I have to get going." She adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder and started forward, aiming to go around this woman and leave her behind. Gladly, that would be.

"Wait."

"What?" Lou turned around, half expecting her to be pointing a gun at her again.

"Do you have a can opener?"

"Maybe."

"Come on. Please." "What will you give me for it?" Lou squinted against the sun, its glare now in her eyes.

"Uh…" Kennedy took her backpack off, dropping to one knee as she unbuckled it. She shifted some things aside, finally settling on a clean white box with words and pictures Lou couldn't make out from where she was standing. There was a Vault-Tec logo on the side; that anyone would recognize.

"How about a tampon?" She had opened the box and was now holding a small cardboard cylinder. "Pre-war, perfectly sterile."

"What's that?" Lou eyed it skeptically. "Bandages or something?"

Kennedy grinned, showing off a large set of pearly white teeth. "Kind of. It's for your period."

"Oh." Lou felt a little hot, embarrassed that she hadn't known. She didn't know how she could have, but she hated being wrong or ignorant.

"You open the cardboard and detach the string, then using your finger you—"

"Yeah, I got that." Lou rolled her eyes. "I mean, I've got a nice set up, I even have some bleach for rags, but sure, I'll take it."

Kennedy packed her things and stood, approaching Lou. They made the exchange, with Lou trying not to observe the tampon too closely. She would take another look later.

"Thanks," Kennedy said. "I'll be in Junktown. Look me up and I'll give it back to you." She pointed the metal can opener in her direction, smiling again before she turned around and practically skipped away.

Lou watched her go, scoffing quietly to herself. "That bitch is definitely a vault dweller."

When I made this post just ten days ago, it was about mass graves discovered at Al Shifa hospital and now we have learned that the same had happened at Nasser hospital in Gaza. The same genocidal pattern: a hospital is put under siege, patients and medical staff are abducted, tortured and buried in mass graves.

But to build on the last point I wanted to bring attention to in the previous post, it is very crucial to also keep in mind is that the Palestinian Civil Defence have reported that Israel had deliberately concealed the identities of those it killed and buried in these mass graves. Close to 400 bodies have been buried in these mass graves, 58% of the recovered bodies have not been identified.

In a press conference, a spokesperson of the civil defence in Gaza said that Israel had intentionally disfigured the bodies postmortem in order to remove any identifying markers such as birthmarks. He also mentioned that they suspect that the bodies have been placed in body bags that expedited the decomposition process, destroying any possibility of them being identified.

One of the main and only ways families have been able to identify the bodies of their loved ones is through the clothes they remember them wearing the last time they saw them. I saw a video of a mother identifying her son by his striped jacket. You can see the grief mixed with relief that she will be able to give her son proper burial.

Remember when months ago I said that to be identified and buried in Gaza has become a luxury? This is very much still the case.

the fires of youth, a novel of juvenile waywardness butch deloria & female lone wanderer (platonic, gen) 2164 words | teen | pulp, dirty jokes, mentions of cannibalism

Thanks to Dogmeat's nose of supreme detection, a bantering Sam and Butch happen across boxes full of old-school, pre-war pulp fiction novels.

As soon as Sam heard Butch's stomach growl all the way through his leather armor, she knew the complaining was only moments away.

"Hey, uh," Butch started, jogging to catch up with her, "do they ever eat people out here?"

Sam stopped, letting her rifle hang limply in her hands. Memories flashed through her mind, hanging bodies, chopped up organs, bloody tendrils strung about like they were drying for a proper meat show.

"No," she lied, then kept walking. "If you try to eat me, I'll shoot you in the face."

"I'd like to see you try," he muttered, hanging back again with Dogmeat, whose nose was pressed firmly to the ground.

"I already told you I have some cans in my backpack."

"I don't want that nasty shit. It's old as hell."

Sam sighed loudly and turned around, making him nearly bump into her. "Yeah, it is, and so's everything else out here. It would be safer to eat two hundred year old pork and beans than one of the people I've met out here."

"Can we make camp then? Jesus, I'm starving."
