not hyunjin talking about how solo shooting is hard in his mv making video and how all he heard all day is "hyunjin lets start" cause there are no cuts to other members' solo moments, and the next bit of the video is the director going, "okay time to let the dancers go" let him keep someone!! aklsdjsalkd

Transcript + Bonus below the cut:

Megan: You really didn’t want a wedding?

Asher: C’mon, mom, you know that’s never been important to me. Our plan was always to elope. Megan: You don’t feel like you rushed it? Asher: [laughs] No, are you kidding me? We’ve been together for seven years; I’d hardly call that rushing. Megan: I just mean it was all so spontaneous. You didn’t want to enjoy being engaged for a while first?

Asher: Why? So you could spend the whole time trying to convince us not to elope? Megan: Hmpf. Asher: Mhm. Megan: Well, we should at least have a reception so you can celebrate with everyone.

Asher: You really can’t help yourself, can you? Megan: What’s wrong with wanting to celebrate with you? Asher: Nothing, but we can do that now, just us. The last thing Atlas wants is some big party where he’s the center of attention. I’m not going to do that to him. Megan: Alright, fine, I’ll drop it. Asher: Thank you.

Megan: You did pick a good one, though. Asher: [smiles] I did, didn’t I? Megan: Have you talked about having kids of your own? Asher: [sighs] A little bit, a few years ago. I don’t think it’s going to happen. Megan: Why not?

Asher: It’s complicated. Megan: Well, a lot can happen in a few years. Maybe it’s worth discussing again. You don’t have much longer to change your mind before it’s too late. Asher: I know. I just don’t want to pressure him, yknow. And I don’t want to go through that process unless it’s something we both really want.

Megan: Is it what you want? Asher: I mean, I’m okay without. Megan: That’s not what I asked. Asher: … Megan: I’ll support whatever you two decide, but I think it’d be worth a conversation. And sooner than later. Asher: [nods] Yeah. Okay.

Just wouldn't be a family gathering without Phoenix randomly smoking indoors... It still takes me by surprise every time lol I could fix it, but this is more fun

so he DID cheat. multiple times. and somehow eight years after going no contact he still tried to blame her for the relationship ending because he didn't want to think about his own culpability.

eliot is my favourite character in anything ever, complex characters are the best, and SUCK IT i was right.

See I know that weed would be like super weak as a chem in Fallout but it would be so much funnier if all these hardcore chem users can’t handle the smallest dose of weed cause it’s like a pure non-irradiated strand and they’d lack any tolerance for canabanoids.

Contrarily, all vault dwellers have high tolerance as it’s like the only pre-war drug people could’ve snuck into the vaults and wastelanders look at vaulties crazy cause they’re like. “Oh I don’t do heavy chems *takes a bong rip that’d send a super mutant behemoth into a coma*”

hey some very smart people (my babes @captainrayzizuniverse and @goldcrumble) have cracked a 28 Clothing pattern check this out: Drop 1 and Drop 2 came out August and November last year and were both Collection 01 (labeled on the clothing tags); Drop 3 (this July) is Collection 02...

...which suggests a possible pattern of one collection consisting of two drops close together late in the year per year, which feels consistent with teasing items from the next drop in the promo for this recent one; so we would see Drop 4- the second half of Collection 02- in October or November, and then another long wait until the second half of next year for more?

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

Love that Briggsy canonically ships Lethicus. Also love that Marius wasn’t wholly denying that Lethica herself was tempting him, he was mostly just focusing on the fact that her blood was (which I understand).

I still believe in my heart of hearts tho that Briggsy might have a bit of a crush on Marius. Maybe he doesn’t realize it, or maybe he does and is just stomping his feelings down bc he knows that Marius is into Lethica, who knows.

I also feel in my heart of hearts that Lethica and Jericho have formed a sibling-like bond. I mean, I got that vibe by episode 8, but especially now that I’m almost caught up (fuck. I’m almost caught up. Who allowed that.) Like, I wholeheartedly believe that Lethica loves Jericho in a big sister sorta way, and that Jericho loves Lethica bc he considers her the only real family he’s ever had

Sanzang and Yarn chicken

Idk what it is about him but I feel like Sanzang would always underestimate how much yarn he needs for a project leading to his disciples looking like patchwork dolls.

[dykedvonte]

what do you think Danse does to keep himself busy after blind betrayal, specifically if he's living in sanctuary? I just love your takes on him a lot haha

I think Danse is very lost in any settlement but especially Sanctuary. It was the first and very close-knit at that with the small group the Sole Survivor founded it with. Each time they would invite a new companion to live there it was like adding a pillar to the community and represented what the Minute Men stood for when it came ot uniting and protecting the commonwealth as one. I am not going to say it's cliquey, in fact I feel like SoSu and Preston/Sturges would go out of their way to make newcomers feel welcome but for Danse that is very different.

He (from my playthrough experience) is one of the later companions. I ran around a lot and got a good portion of the companions and their quest before act one was done. He is also one of the few companions who openly thinks lowly of life in the commonwealth and certain citizens (if not all citizens to an extent). He did not introduce himself to Sanctuary to make friends or roots. So when he gets stuck there under the SoSu's "orders" (not letting him rot in sorrow in some random bunker) he doesn't have any comfort or companionship, in fact, I think he has more tensions and beef tbh.

I imagine the first weeks or even a month or two were rough. I don't think it is stated enough that like Danse went to that bunker intending to follow Brotherhood protocols and kill himself. SoSu may have convinced him not to in the moment but with someone like Danse, so rigid and stuck in an ideology even after it spits in his face, it's not unlikely he has a weird guilt about being alive at first. It doesn't help that I know in my heart that a few of the more petty or insensitive companions or settlers would tease him about it (playful meanness) thinking he was adjusting well (or not caring) to the Sanctuary life and coming to terms with his identity. Sometimes they go too far and it's easy to tell he's gotten back into the headspace, looking at his reflection, trying to remember concrete dates for his memories, etc..

I have this head canon that SoSu recognized this pattern as they had to have immense survivor's guilt (especially after being in Kellogs brain) about surviving the vault. They had the same idea about making things "fair" for the other vault dwellers and Shaun was the only thing between them and those thoughts for a while. For the first weeks it was a lot of SoSu monitoring him and making sure he was adjusting and not falling back into that thinking, y'know the whole "I am a disgrace and abomination against the Brotherhood and humanity. The only thing I can do to no longer sully the honor of either is to kill mys-" Like stopping that with minor distractions.

It would be a lot of small work and building projects and patrols for lost scavengers or to make sure no one is stalking the place. It's nice for him for a while, he's getting social interaction and he's not dead in the eyes of at least one Brotherhood member, especially one of as high rank as the SoSu. But it's also really unhealthy. Danse was trained and raised in a militaristic pseudo-religious faction. As much as there seemed to be casualness towards comrades there was a strict structure and order. He shoves the SoSu into that role and probably gets nick-named as their shadow during this period.

They are his only goal as he has nothing else and it shows bad. The rest of the settlement notices he trails after them and only really does his own thing when it's part of a task he was doing for, with or assigned by the Sole survivor. It's not an obsession with them specifically but he has lost his entire understanding of life and this is the one thing that stayed concrete. He does what he's asked of because following the Sole survivor has at least kept him belonging somewhere and why mess that up?

I am sure SoSu is not oblivious and is actively trying to figure out how to get Danse to start socializing and trying to actually settle into the community but for the time being Danse would treat himself like the machine he perceives himself as; Overworking himself as he believes machines don't need the same amount of rest, isolating himself and mostly trying to not have a mental breakdown every time he get into the power armor that is very much not his issued Brotherhood of Steel tech. He openly does this in respect of the General who hates it and makes everyone else uncomfortable.

this was very long just to say I think Danse just works himself to the bone all day and purposely puts thoughts in his already fragile psyche that everyone hates him and only tolerates his presence to not seem Synth-phobic and the Sole survivor's favor.

There is no possible way the NCR is done for.

Show spoilers ig

With an estimated active military personnel of 700,000 and a civilian base of 1,000,000 the NCR would not collapse so easily. If at all because of a bombing of their capital

There are enough *Actual* supporters of the NCR that quickly reorganize and regroup. Fallout NV makes it seem that there is a disproportionate amount of people who are in the army for money or conscripted, which is true but In reality there are diehard supporters for the NCR in California and outside of the Mojave. Many of the soldiers in the Mojave are just disillusioned and have little to no morale because of the legion and the environment of the Mojave. Shady Sands isn't the only city in the NCR. Redding, Roseville, Boneyard, Dayglow, The Hub, Junktown, Navarro, Sac-town, etc. The NCR isn't a petty faction where you kill the leader and or destroy the place they collapse and wither. The NCR is well organized, structural, Bureaucratic, has a Constitution and branches of government, Minted dollars and coinage, federal reserve, Industry, complicated and extensive trade networks, Anti Bigotry laws. The list goes on.

They are not perfect but I chose them over Elon musk, actual anarchism that is proven to not be effective for the Mojave, and a 14 year old edge lord's dream. (literally only enslaving women and being generally edgy as shit)

Edit: I know The brotherhood of shit isn't an endgame faction but I didn't mention them because they are laughable. In almost every game. I used to really like them and the legion, it's just maturing ig.

Legion fanboys seethe.

Now I know the more likely answer is 'subpar dialogue writing'

But it almost seems like a plothole for Elias to go looking for 'people who oppose Heaven and Hell', and determine that Lilith is the Only One Ever to do that...

When he literally lived with Tyrael.

Which just makes me wonder if Tyrael abandoning the Horadrim is less him being afraid of something (when has he ever genuinely backed down from a fight, ever), and more him actually forsaking humanity. Or something. I mean, neither Lorath nor Donan have any idea what he's up to or why he left. Elias doesn't even speculate. Doesn't really even mention Tyrael.

It's just...bizarre.

Makes me wonder if we'll get like. A Malthael-Arc, but for Tyrael.
