“RJ!” The woman let the door slam shut, and she jogged over to MacCready, dark hair bouncing across her shoulders. “Shit, we didn’t expect you and yours for another day, I thought-” 

MacCready released Shaun and caught the woman in a hug. “Hey, Machete. What’d I miss?” 

Machete squeezed him joyfully. “You don’t miss a damn thing, sniper.” 

“I missed you.” 

“Stop it.” Machete slapped MacCready’s back until he let her go. “So this is your vault dweller girlfriend?” she said, taking in Murphy with interest. 

“She’s got a name.” MacCready blushed. “Machete, meet Murphy. Murphy, Machete. She’s a Little Lamplight graduate, too.”

It's the raddest gal in all the land! The illustrious and dangerous Whiskey!

If you haven't seen/read/heard of @koilarist's wonderful Fallout OC, I would recommend it :) I was so honored and delighted to animate their character, commissioned by another amazing artist, @krokaxe

I'm so happy I got to work with you and I'm so thrilled with how this came out! Happy holidays to both of y'all!

It only recently occurred to me that the Garden of Eden Creation Kits, or G.E.C.K. devices in Fallout, stand as a karmic opposite to the symbol of the nuclear bomb.

The nuclear bomb is effective as a weapon is a two stage attack. First there's the boom. An invention the size of a small car, in a flash so short you wouldn't even be able to think about it before being vaporized if you were anywhere within 2 miles of where it was, and you'd be lucky to live longer than 10 minutes if you weren't at least 10 miles away. An unstoppable, unhaltable fire that burns hot enough to vaporize anything even remotely alive instantly, and it's the size of a city before you have enough time to say "oh my god look at that". And then, after this devastating, all consuming flame goes out, the decay left over from that little drop of metal leaves the earth, the water, the sky, and all other physical domains completely uninhabitable for YEARS. It instantly creates a domain so remarkably dangerous that it becomes a global landmark. I'd say that it is only slightly hyperbolic in a cheesey poetic way that what a nuclear bomb does is create the closest thing to literal hell on earth that humans are currently capable (whether by scientific limitation, or by moral unwillingness) of creating.

On the other hand, the G.E.C.K., a sleek silver briefcase the size of a 2005 laptop, acts as a compact seed to create a stable, healthy environment, with enough power in a hyper-dense coal fusion battery to power a city. A succinct utopia in a box. In early depictions this was described as hyper resilient seeds, chemical mixtures to create viable soil, instructions for how to disassemble and reuse shelters to become extremely resilient and powerful new world places of safety, as well as vast documents on the details and assembly of advanced and highly efficient technologies like force fields. In later games, it was increased to something of a mythical item, capable of literally terraforming miles of earth down to the molecular level to be safe for habitation, as well as the ability to replicate anything you might need in terms of rations or supplies. In its own way, it is mankind's best attempt (at least in the Fallout universe) to create a massive-scale utopia in as small of a box, that creates as close to a heaven on earth, as possible. And it's even got a biblical tie-in right in the name. I think that's very fitting.

Fallout 4 is a game about making cute little towns from trash and completing missions earning money to buy more trash and scavengering everything you found. Also collecting people to put into your towns. Or helping you collect trash.
