Fallout tv show thoughts on The Ghoul.

4th time watching the Fallout tv show and to me it's clear Cooper 'The Ghoul' Howard isn't like normal ghouls in the show.

We see how ghouls go feral if they don't get that liquid in the vials -2 weeks it seems by Roger, who is about to turn, so symptoms of forgetfulness/insanity would show a lot sooner. (The process itself is unique to the show and I think will be explained..hint hint i think it has something to do with the crazy snakeoil doc who is probably Vault-Tec but gone crazy). Ghouls forget who they are, start to lose their sanity and really show they are ghoul like in the game with skin and flesh falling off them - like Roger, Martha and the ones we see gone fully feral in the super duper mart. Yet when Cooper loses his vials he gets sick, stars coughing and retching and collapses outside the super duper mart. He shows no signs of forgetfulness or violent insanity. We already see he isn't as 'ghoulified' as some others, yet he's been wastlanding for over 200 years, though we dont exactly know how long as that he was a ghoul for. I know they made him attractive to the audience but I think there is more to it than that. My theory? He's the result of a Vault-tec experiment or drug. He was given something by his (ex?) wife Barb when he got their kid Janey to the vault because either A- he wasn't allowed into the vault or B- wouldn't go inside and Barb gives him something to survive, knowing what it would do to him. The transformation process caused him to pass out and when he goes back to the Vault he thinks he got Janey to, she isn't there. Hence his mission to find her and Barb. Now , those vials the ghouls use, don't have any branding on them. The symbols on them are a ghoul like face with a cross through it and a mushroom cloud. No Vault-Tec logo, nothing. There might be some words with the mushroom cloud but I can't make them out.

Which makes me think they are a post war creation, by that crazy 'doc' who we know has a 'potion' that heals and turns anyone who uses it into a ghoul. I think he makes them, or he's part of a group that makes them and he got chucked out for ...his scientific curiosity.....But he or they were once Vault-tec that maybe went too far as they broke the mission perimeters. After all ghouls are not exact the ideal for future civilisation.

Hate to say it, but hashtags here do nothing as they are not recognised outside the search function. It's only where hashtags are measured for algorithm like Instagram and Facebook that will do anything. SO if you have those social medias, share his story THERE with the Hashtag -

#ToomajSalehi

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

ALL THE CAKES!!! I will read the same story over and over again as each time it's written by different authors with different takes. And if I find a story that is already written that is somehow similar to the one I'm writing. I'll continue writing mine. Because my story will be just that- mine!

I have a question for the fanfic writers among you: How do you treat your work in progress when a very similar story is put out there? Do you go on writing - in the spirit that everything is unique in its own way - or do you abandon the piece - in the spirit of preventing 'superfluous' contributions?

Let's add a further wrench into the process by saying the recently published work by another author, so similar to your own, seems so much better written than your own (granted we are always our own worst critics). Where do you go with that?

Maybe this is a question for readers, too. Do you mind reading similar works/story lines?

And Lucy showing mercy and saving Ghoul was the moment that changed him. He then saw that video tape of his old self where he remembers saying he's the good guy and chose to take the blame for destroying the organ harvesting ring. Lucy had to be tough (and she levelled up in the mart like most players do) , echoing what Cooper had said. Taking a proper lethal weapon, adding more armour to her suit. I love their parallels.

The Lucy and Cooper/Ghoul being mirroring foils parallel arcs go crazy.
