cannot stop thinking about how the season finale of fallout set up a road trip buddy comedy between a 250+ yo radiation cowboy who tried (and so far succeeded) to kill his humanity to survive the wasteland and an optimistic doe eyed woman whose whole brand is Being a Good Person (something the radiation cowboy used to be) and will undoubtedly crack away at his hardened leather armor. when lucy bit off the ghouls finger and then the ghoul cut off lucy’s that was a pinkie promise to be bffs

arcade gannon truly is so real for aiming every joke he makes to an audience of exclusively himself. like nobody around him gets his references to history/art/literature but he doesn't care because he sees the perfect opportunity to make a reference and he never fails to do so. hes so real for that

hey while we're on the subject of ghoul cowboys yall should look at mine

The amount of hours I've spent thinking about this fool is genuinely bananas

A doodle of Eileen I did last night cuz I remembered I can actually draw the ideas I have in my head!!!

Not much inspo for this besides wanting to make stretchmarks a definitive detail in her design. I don’t think I’ll be drawing her shirtless enough for it to matter but oh well!!

Hey! I have a deaf character, and I’m not sure how to especially do dialogue grammar wise. I usually use ‘She signed “how are you?”’

This is obviously a very basic example sentence, but I was wondering are there better ways to write this? Should I be using dialogue tags? I’ve heard of some people doing

‘She signed how are you?’

But I don’t want that to be confused with inner thoughts, because that’s the same style I use for inside thoughts like—

‘I can’t believe she would do that. She thought to herself.’

I’ve also heard of (I think) ‘She signed <<how are you?>>’

Is this something of importance to the Deaf community? I might post this work eventually on here, and she’s one of my main characters that drives the plot forward. I don’t want to disrespectful! I usually use dialogue tags out of convenience, but I can switch it up in my edits if there’s a better and more respectful way to do it!

Hi!

Regular dialogue marks are just fine! The “signed” dialogue tag should cover it. :) [smile face]

(I have seen some books write in ASL GLOSS but this is generally clunky to audiences who don’t know ASL, and, if the author isn’t fluent in ASL, usually wrong.)

You also don’t need to just limit yourself to “signed”. Once you’ve established that your character signs, you can use whatever you want. (If she uses multiple modes of communication, just clarify which one she’s using in which scene / when she switches modes.)

I binged the Fallout show yesterday and the "oh, no dogs allowed in the vaults" thing being the last straw in Coop's relationship was just... I thought it was great. Not just because I like dogs, or because Fallout has a long tradition of the protag being a dog person, but because as a dog person, the thought that my spouse could have grown so alienated from me as to not realize what a huge fucking deal it would be for me to give up/put down my dog for her plans was just chilling. Like, just a great illustration of how wide Vault-Tec's secrets have levered that chasm.

She can't tell him why it's so vital to get into a specific vault, or even let him inow that it's more than general anxiety about the war that has her so stressed. She's so consumed with this idea of a least-hellish path forwards that she's already written off their dog and while she's sorry for their kid losing the dog, she can't even remember that her husband is exactly the kind of guy to a) dig in his heels about his dog and b) REALLY dig in his heels about his dog being written off with no one even bothering to discuss it with him.
