Nameless Traveler. A Fallout inspired story.

So, I was playing Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4, and I thought "It would be cool to make my own Fallout like story", So now I'm here, with a complete story like Fallout! I would gladly take any constructive critism, especially on the last paragraph. I'm not to happy on that, so I have an alternative ending in the works.

Cold. No, freezing. I woke up in a confined, frozen chamber, just big enough for me to fit. The last thing I remember is running alone to the bunker in the back of my house. From what, I can’t remember. I see a sign in front of the glass chamber, saying "PRESS THE BUTTON!" in bold red letters, that looks like it was written in haste. The letters drip down, but I didn’t worry about that. I was worried about not escaping my prison. I start looking around the chamber, and I see a black button to the left of me, and press it. I hear the scream of old, worn and rusted metal moving above me, and the glass in front of me starts cracking. Before I realized what was happening, the glass shattered into hundreds of small sharp pieces, scratching my arms in pain as they covered my face. I regained myself before stepping out of the chamber, and the first thing I notice is the air quality. The air is rough and coarse on my throat, and it becomes hard to breathe for a few seconds, feeling like if I breathe, I will burn from the inside out. When I start breathing slower, I start getting used to the air, but it will take time to not choke every once in a while. I attempt to gather my thoughts on what happened before putting myself in the chamber, but all I can remember is running to my bunker, and being extremely hot and in pain before the doors closed. There is a pistol on a table in the corner, and I take it with some ammo next to it, in case I need to protect myself against anything out there. I open the door and walk out, but stop dead when I see the horrors around me.

I start panicking, and the world starts to turn. Everywhere I look, all I see is chaos and death. The earth beneath me is dead and dry, the sky is full of dark and foreboding clouds, the forest, once full of life and beauty, is now gone, and replaced by flat land with corpses of the trees that once stood. I see something on four legs moving around, and it looks to be a mountain lion, but that thought was stopped when I saw a scorpion tail coming from its back. “Great, a bloody Manticore.”. I fall backwards into the wall of what I can guess is my home, now just a broken shell of what it was. Everything is starting to turn black, and I feel a heavy weight on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. I try to think of my past, and what happened here, but I can't recall anything else in my past. It's all blank, and I can't find anything in my head besides that one memory of the door. "Why can't I remember!" I yell to myself. Hell, I can’t even remember my own name. I look down at the cracked ground before me, and start to cry. They're a mix of anger, sorrow, fear, and unknowing of my future or past. I just sit there, crying to myself, until I hear the sound of gunfire getting close to me. I immediately hide behind the wall, making sure my breathing is controlled and silent. Then, a bullet goes through the thin wall, and scrapes my left arm, leaving a flesh wound that is bleeding at a slow rate. I grab hold of my arm, the pain shooting through my body, and I get my own pistol ready for whatever might happen next. I was about to start shooting at the gunfire, but then I saw a hand grenade roll about 8 feet in front of me.

The thoughts in my head are not stopping for anything. They're going at light speed, with questions left unanswered, thoughts incomplete, and currently trying to think of what’s the best stick I can use to make the ground my last will and testament before I become a sad corpse on the ground. With all the adrenaline going through my body right now, I somehow make it over a five foot wall after climbing a bit, just before the grenade went off. Only an hour outside of the bunker, and everything already went to hell in a handbasket. Not even twenty seconds after I went over the wall, I hear bullets impacting the area where I jumped over. It was crack after crack of lead failing to break the thick brick wall. I was thinking if I should try firing back, or attempt to make peace with the people, when I heard one of them yell “Show your face and die, you coward!”. The voice was thick and demanding, and was followed by a burst of bullets at the wall. I knew I couldn’t wait them out, because I don’t know how many of them there are, or how many bullets they had. For all I know, they could have enough ammunition and people to take down a small country. The only thing I can think of is waiting until one of them gets antsy, and tries to peek around the wall, where I would kill them, hopefully telling the others that I’m not to be messed with. It could also lead to them coming after me faster all at the same time, but I was hoping the former would be the outcome. A bit later, the gunfire stopped. I didn’t move away from the wall, because, you know, not wanting to get shot at. Then I see a bullet smash into the wall on my side, about 4 inches away from my face, and see another follow suit. It was a shock to the system, which was needed, but I didn’t have time to sit and think about that. I needed to move, and fast.

Sweat is rolling down my body. The blood from my flesh wound is starting to flow at a slightly faster pace, because of how much I’m exerting my body. “Keep running, don’t stop” I tell myself, as another bullet crashes into a tree close by. I ran pretty far into the dead woods, giving me some cover from the people trying to kill me for no reason. The amount of gunfire has slowed down the farther I go into the woods. I feel great. I’m not getting shot at, chased, or getting called a slur. I stop at a tree to rest myself, getting a small look at my surroundings. I see a fallen tree, with a rugged stump where I assume it was once standing. After a few minutes, I decide to move from my hiding spot and think about my situation. “Well, I can’t remember anything, including my name, I have no clue why the world is an absolute trash heap, I have no clue where I am, and I have no clue what I’m going to do. Crap.” I stand there for a bit, mulling over my options that I really don’t have yet, until I hear multiple roars in the distance, and decide that I don’t want to be lunch for some crazy mutated animals. I choose to go towards the sound of a river that I hear, and start to walk quickly, so I don’t get caught by those animals.

After running for a bit, I finally make it to the river. I step down to the water, and splash some on my face. I realize that I haven’t taken a single drink of anything since I woke up, and then I suddenly feel very thirsty. After drinking some water from my cupped hands, I feel refreshed and relieved that I can finally rest. After a small sit, I notice a small cabin down the river, and I start walking to it. When I get there, I cautiously open the door, and check my corners before every room. Once I’m certain that it’s clear, I decide to check out the kitchen. I choose to open the fridge, hoping for something to eat. Lo and behold, I hit the motherload. The fridge is still working, probably getting the electricity from a generator, and is full of food. I see meat, cheese, vegetables, fruits, and water. I swear my legs pushed me two feet into the air when I saw all of that. I start looking through the rest of the house, and I find a small underground basement that has food growing in pots. I then check the master bedroom, and I look through the walk in closet. I find some clothes, shoes, jackets, and a large container in the corner. When I open the container, I see some rifles, pistols, and other various firearms. “I guess this person was a gun collector, judging from the amount of guns and ammo there is.” I tell myself as I look at the weapons I now have. I walk over to the mirror in the bathroom, and look at myself. I’m covered in scratches from branches and shrubbery, my arm is still bleeding out, albeit at a slow pace, and I have a small cut on my left cheek from whatever happened there. I’m a bloody mess.

“Well, I guess it’s time to make some new memories.”

SOMEONE FINALLY UNDERSTANDS MY PROBLEMS WITH GENSHIN!! oh my god I liked paimon at the Start but then she became overbearing and the lack of actual options in conversations was so annoying that I hate her now. For example, the very first character quest you for Kaeya, the traveler has the option to be "well time to report to Kaeya" OR "go immediately to the treasure" but if you chose the option to go report to Kaeya first, paimon straight up goes "THERES NO NEED!!" and you're FORCED TO GO WITH IT?? It's a tame example but it's honestly a perfect example of my issues. There's no reason for several options honestly. They don't affect character relationships despise there being a companionship mechanic. Even persona 5 had a right/wrong choice that could either speed or slow down your relationship with others. Also paimon is so annoyingly childish and honestly useless? I don't recall a single time she actually helped. Almost all the time, she's just as confused as, if not more confused, than the Traveller. Honestly Genshin would be considerably better if the Traveller was a one-person team, Paimon is just loud, obnoxious, and if I was the Traveller I would've thrown her out before I reached liyue

THANK YOU!!

Like... I fucking love dialogue trees.

From Pathologic, where the dialogue tree has you on edge, it's scary, because you could lock yourself out of the conversation if you pick wrong, and it fits the game so well? Mass effect, being paragon or renegade, forming your reputation and flirting with aliens, and it fits the game. Dragon age, especially origin and 2, where you could LITERALLY CHOOSE IMPORTANT SHIT in dialogue, and choose what kinda Hawke you wanted to be, yknow purple hawke for life, and it fits the game. FALLOUT NEW VEGAS??? Legitimately lets you peacefully resolve a huge threat IF you have high speech and pick the correct options, you have to THINK and, you know it, it fits the game.

It's amazing how something as simple as dialogue trees show a substantial part of any game that has them.

Even Dishonored, which mainly has them pop up to tell the loyalists you don't want to go to bed yet and to either let certain NPC's go, set up an alternative route visa vi Slackjaw, and knock out/kill. It says a lot about what the game is, if you want high or low chaos, who you form Corvo out to be. And they don't even pop up that much??? And it fits the fucking game.

So, yknow, genshin's dialogue trees also fit the game. You are seemingly given options on how to play, but it's just fluff on your way to the same outcome. The choice that matters most in the game is who you pick at the start and that's it. You pick one dialogue option that suggests you can approach a quest in a different way, but no, you're shot down and have to do it the original way. Paimon keeps commenting. It's the facade of an interesting choice. Nothing you do matters and in most games, that's fine. You cannot take branching paths in most games, like call of duty, or GTA, or older assassin's creed, and it doesn't diminish them! They have a story they want told.

But pretending your game is smarter and deeper than it is, is what is fucking stupid. Why have dialogue trees. What's the point of pretending to be an RPG if you're just a fun ensemble of collectible characters with tight combat? You're ruining your game by this pretending of being deeper. All it does is make me smack the space-bar frantically and switch to pressing the mouse button when the "options" pop up. Like it's just insulting.

It's like Deus Ex Human Revolution. They wanted this game to be as varied and fun and immersive as Deus Ex, but it just wasn't. Dialogue and actions meant nothing at all.

No shame in just telling the player to get past the challenge and the enemies and don't die during it and then we insert the next scene of the plot. No shame, as I said, AMAZING games have a simple linear structure that has the player having a stellar game riding along with their story.

But why the fuck would you pretend otherwise.

Also... I would have slam dunked Paimon into the stove the moment she started insulting Venti. Like?? We don't know this man, who raised your rude ass.

#god i hate paimon #huh #went on angry university student rant there #but also i got my damn degree and now i get to wave it and shout about the things im mad about #i only ever get this angry if something i love or see a lot of worth in #needs some fuckinf fixing #you know how great genshin could be?? if mihoyo didnt make jt???#ask #paimon nemesis #quinceyeasyspeaky

Gaming ask meme: 1, 5, 10

1. Name a game that is really important to you

I would say Fallout New Vegas but that's not true. I would say Gears of War but that's also not true.

This one is a really good but difficult question for me because if I were to take account of every game I've played on PC and mostly the PS2, with also some emulated games that I want to get back...somehow...(I know how...the question honestly is WHEN... *side eyes brain* >.>)....there's...there's games I've played that were very very important to me that shaped what and who I am today.

But to save the trouble cos I got 2 more questions to answer after this: It's a tie between the Deus Ex franchise and Destiny 2

I'll go more into Destiny 2 for now because that's where I met a lot of good people that I still keep in touch with.

It's a game that I have the most listed accomplishments ever that I can go back to and yeah show off but mainly to recognize that I was able to accomplish SOMETHING in my 30's. My 30's were (and in some ways still are) very very rough, but it's hopefully a decade that I can remember more positively than my 20's and teens.

I've got 2 Triumph Pins and won the 2020 Guardian Games as a hunter. I've completed several raid runs with friends, AND I did 2 Day One raid openings (though sadly I never beat them in Contest Mode).

As much as I complain about the game mode Gambit, it's something I got good at in and with Spite. I won't ever say I'm a top player in Gambit. Far from it actually if I were to look up my stats on Destiny Tracker, but I've gotten good to say that I've put the work in and the experiences made me Good enough to be a reliable teammate.

And I've gotten skilled with a weapon class that honestly more games NEED to get into because there's SO MUCH FUCKING POTENTIAL-- *deep breath*...I am enamored by Bungie's bow mechanics and designs so yes...I'll just leave it at that.

Anywho, maybe one day I'll rb this (if I remember >.>) and go into why I loved the Deus Ex franchise just as much.

5. Name a game that that everyone else didn’t care for that you enjoyed

Hmm.....*thinking*

Dirt 2 and 3

I LOVE rally racing a lot and honestly those two games really showed how much I loved it.

At first it was more like a connection to a childhood time where there was this isometric rally racing arcade game that I couldn't beat for the life of me and spent way too much money on at the time. But really it's because Dirt 2 and 3 were the first time I got to play a racing game that made me understand racing as a whole a lot better than the Need For Speed franchise ever could.

Plus the intensity of each game's era was awesome as hell and it's sad that...well...hmm...I could try to find these two games elsewhere for sure, but again it's sad that the copies I have aren't playable anymore (even offline) =(

So...maybe one day I'll find another copy of each game that works with the PC I have currently :3 >:3c

10. Name a favorite obscure video game

asdffkjlgh omfg so there was this arcade game that was MASSIVE in actual size because it seated 6 players and was a rail space shooter that you literally had to ENTER INTO because it was like...a total simulator of sorts and I fucking forgot the name of it but I beat it on MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), and it was a game that I was OBSESSED with in my teens...maybe younger than that actually o.o

This arcade game was so cool because it really brought out the cooperative spirit in people. Some groups I played with were silent but would use the games visual cues to signal to the other players. Some groups were very vocal (not swearing really. since I was a kid any adult that played it kept swearing to a bare minimum) and would tell the other players where to shoot and what to fight off. It was so cool because at the time, NO ONE was able to reach the final boss and beat the name. Not even the badass solo players that got really far into the game.

I honestly miss that arcade game so much and tbh if the world (yes world not just the US) EVER brings back arcade emporiums full swing, I want to see game devs do a full from-the-ground-up remake of that arcade game and even put their heart into it so much to make a very awesome and compelling story!

Pipe dream yes but eh...a sweet butch gaymer trans gal can dream right? ^.^

#ask #long ask #long post #adrawrable #thank you for the ask! ^.^#:3

Heartaches By The Number

45ml Bloody Shiraz Gin (I used a bit more)

30ml Cizano Blanco

15ml Passoã

A touch of Grenadine for that red colour

Cuvée Brut to taste

Stir ingredients minus the Brut

Pour into Highball glass with a generous amount of ice

Top with Brut

As this crazy pandemic comes to a close in my country I find myself heading back to work soon. I guess I'm going to need to get back into the groove of making cocktails, I have to say I'm a bit rusty on my speed. I have several isolated gin and tonics to blame for that I suppose.

This cocktail isn't really inspired by anything, just mainly how my taste has changed over lockdown. I've been playing a bunch of Fallout New Vegas and as a result, the soundtrack constantly stuck in my head. Therefore I thought to name this drink after one of my favorites by Guy Mitchell.

If you don't have access to shiraz gin (first off I'm sorry, it's absolutely delicious and you should try it) you can use any gin that's a bit floral and soft. Be careful though, this one is a good 2 or so drinks worth.

Cheers! 🥂

Wouldn’t the oil rig explosion in fallout 2 have caused a giant oil spill???

Would the NCR or people living around that area have the resources to clean it?? I’d assume they need the ocean, especially since people would depend on it for fishing and stuff and currents would carry the oil everywhere. Considering that the oil rig was powered by a nuclear reactor wouldn’t that also cause a radioactive leak into the water?? Fhsjd Radioactive Oil Spill sounds awful

Would it even be a large priority considering that the area around the oil rig is Enclave territory and the NCR and BOS might consider it to be a way to speed up the Enclave’s demise?

Would there still be remnants of the oil spill by the time of new vegas?? I hope not fbsnfn that’s like what??? 30 years after the events of fallout 2?? Goodness that’s not good for the environment

#I was thinking back to the gulf oil spill in 2010 and I had a realization #like it took ages to clean that up when it happened and I remember the beaches were all inky and gross >.<#Fhsjjf #fallout 2 #fallout new vegas #enclave #NCR #bos #misty rambles

beyond the abyss harry dubois' salvation through annihilation

Life and death are running parallel in all of us all of the time. But it isn't until we're shaken out of our delusions that we might be so lucky as to appreciate that.

Disco elysium begins in darkness, but with these two opposing forces growing louder, painful, and more self aware by the moment.

We see them do their bitter dance inside one cataclysmically hung over sorry excuse for a mess of a man.

Surrounded by a trashed room, broken glass and electronics, and a mirror regretfully projecting a lifeless and perverse imitation of a human, our protagonist, the avatar of what ails everyone alive, comes to from a weekend of all out drinking

To find unsurprisingly that he has no recllction of anything. Not who or where he is, much less why he is there or how he got there.

"there" is a hostel cafeteria, the whirling rags in the once glorious but now seedy center of Disco Elysiums world - the city of revachol

Gentle March flurries of snow fall down gracefully onto a city that is anything but gentle or graceful.

A traffic jam CHOKES up This specific district of Revachol called Martinase. A dock workers union strike HAS Shut the harbor down, along with the lives of the agitated working types of Martinase, some of whom have legitimate gripes with their employer, and some of whom are devious and criminally minded, with nothing better to do than to spread chaos.

On the other sides, a broken bridge once connecting to wildwrness and drug towns, and on the other tenements, apartments, and an inlet leading to distant islands probably unsoiled from the malaise afflicting the rest of Martinaise, accessible only to those with the means to traverse the watery expanse

This city and its Malconents are so richly and profusy characteristicd because they are as much a character in the story as the protagonist, and his partner, lt. K

Thus, disco elysium is simultaneously the tale of a strung out detective hanging precariously hanging above a precipitous drop into nothingnwss

What lies on the other end of oblivion? Few live to tell of the verdant lands beyond the chasm of self annihilation. For them, an empty slate is the ultimate reprieve.

And The ultimate salvation, for if they are to make it over to the side, then they may yet grasp the envy of many tortured souls - - the chance to start over

But no story is ever borne from a such a virgin page. Indeed I Every dark untamed corner and crevice of the inland empire beckons ominously with its own siren song. One can look away. One can push past through; but one can never truly erase the past, awaiting gleefully in ambush for its sadistic feast

When I ask myself who and what is Harry Dubois, this is the answer my consciousness brings back to me. So in his shoes, with the controller in my hands, Harry Dubois is a man given the highly coveted and notoriously coveted chance to start over.

Or so it seems, as every sensation and perception that grazes his gray matter has the potential to push away the dense fog of his hard won retrograde amnesia after an ungodly weekend of drinking almost brings him to the his ultimate end.

It isn't long before the hints add up and it is revealed that a split with his beloved sent Harry unraveling with the speed and force of a lightning bolt. Harry is also an accomplished detective, logging over 200 hundred completed cases in a little less than 20 years.

But this decorated career brings him the opposite of fulfillment and Acclaim. Harry is a fumbling drunk and the butt of most of his fellow officer's jokes.

Wading so deeply and throughly through the underbelly of Revachol for two decades has not sobered Harry up in the least; instead he is a unrelenting alcoholic, his life and his being in tatters.

Being an well thought out rpg, disco elysium let's players modify Harry's intellect, psyche, emotional intelligence, as well as. His mental and physical prowess

My Harry was born to be a detective. He has a good head on his broad, impressive shoulders, and his shoulders are connected to an equally admirable pair of limbs and a sturdy, imposing frame.

And yet, Harry is haplessly inept at understanding himself and others. Even though players have this control over molding Harry, the character as I've built him seems most natural to the story.

Of course being a crime fighting machine who can think, talk, maneuver, and smash if need be through any situation makes Harry the kind of cop whose resume earns the respect of even a disciplined, highly competent and extremely professional cop like his partner, Lt. Kitsuragi

And yet, here Harry is. Revachol has swallowed him up it seems. And his most intimate refuge in the world, his life, has left him too.

So it is clear Harry DuBois is a man very much at the end of his line

But he crossed over to the end just yet, though he hangs there precariously throughout the game

So the question becomes, who is YOUR Harry DuBois? As with any other good RPG, more than half the fun is making your own unique character

Retrograde amnesia is as much a video game storytelling cliche as saving the world or rescuing the princess; but what great games do differently is make you wonder why exactly your specific character wants to undertake his or her heroic journey. Think Fallout New Vegas - a sparsely populated wasteland whose fate depends on your characters vision of justice

Disco Elysium also does soemthing similar, and it does it even better than Fallout New Vegas. Players can discover and select different topics they want Harry to contemplate in real time. As he does so and when he is done, Harry is rewarded with a Stat boost or two, further allowing players to play as their particular Harry DuBois

From what little I've played so far, Disco Elysium is far from subtle. How could it be otherwise? Harry clings to the disco vibe as much as the lack of luck hope and anything else resembling goodness clings to Him

Author Interview Tag

I was tagged by @iris-best-taken-in-small-doses, thank you for tagging me! <3

Name: Vee

Fandoms: Primarily Sherlock BBC, but also RDJ Holmes, Harry Potter, and the Fallout games universe, plus Supernatural and bits of Doctor Who which I’ve seen and liked

Where you post: Ao3, I love this site

Most popular multi-chapter fic: So far it’s my first ever published fic from earlier of this godforsaken year, Harry Potter and the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which has just a few days ago surpassed 2k hits. It’s a crossover between HP/SH, and I must admit I do neglect it a little because I have a second fic I publish, which brings us to....

Favourite story you’ve written till date: Definitely Reichenbach Falls. I speed-wrote the first 8-and-a-bit episodes over the course of 2 months while also studying for transfer exams, and I keep my pace up and it is my main focus at the moment. It’s also the most ambitious crossover I’m attempting, because it is the Holy Trinity of SuperWhoLock, and a Gravity Falls AU, so it offers a lot of lore I am proud that I came up with. It has its own challenges I like to tackle, especially when it comes to intertwining characters from numerous TV shows to coherently worked together, plus their character arcs and character developments that are to come. I hide easter eggs here and there and put some of my soul into it, so it is very dear to me. I think I am doing the job adequately so far, but time will tell. :) I do love HPatAoSH, because it is my first fic ever and I am still excited about it, but I put it on the backburner and procrastinate on the chapters I post usually

Fic you were nervous to post: Both my big series, really. One never knows what reception they’re going to get, and we all hope to get the characters to interact just right. The HP crossover because it has two timelines that later intertwine in 1997 when the Golden Trio asks the Baker Street Dumbass Detective Duo for help and I need to make certain corrections in some earlier chapters. Reichenbach Falls because it is SuperWhoLock and as I said, it’s huge, 3 parts in 1 work, so 300 chapters give or take in total, and I hope to do my best with everyone’s characterisation.

How you choose your titles: Depends. HP/SH was a bit self-explanatory, and I think it fits well into the AU and foretells what’s up in a sense that you know who is involved and if you know both fandoms, you get a whiff of a couple shenanigans. Reichenbach Falls was a bit difficult to name and I stalled on it, but then on one hot summer day that I spent cowering inside the house like the pale gremlin I am, I thought hm,,,,, the show is called Gravity Falls, but I can’t use that of course. And then I remembered that Reichenbach is a thing, the waterfall is in canon as well and BAM - Reichenbach Falls. It’s all more about a sudden epiphany than hard thinking, it comes by itself.

Do you outline: Yes, but do I stick to it? Nah. I do write steps for each episode for RF, but those serve only as a mild reminder of what the end goal is, and I wing the rest to my standard. It works well so far. With HP/SH, I just wing it and rely on the past chapters because as I mentioned, I’m a sorrowful procrastinator on this one for now. My outlines are general which gives me space to improvise and improve on the run, which I like, it doesn’t restrict me in any self-induced way, so I prevent mental blocks nicely.

Complete: Living Musical, which is a one-shot I wrote for Steph from inevitably-johnlocked. Fluffy, too! And it needs revision because I wrote it in 4 hours until it was 1am and I have no recollection of that evening anymore. And... god, I need to fix the typos. *facepalms*

In Progress: HP/SH crossover and Reichenbach Falls I linked above already. They’re plenty to take care of :D

Coming soon/not yet started: this is what I am excited about! I have a new AU in mind, either some postapocalyptic wasteland AU, but most probably also an AU of the game Fallout: New Vegas at the same time (it’s basically the same concept). I have the basic plot in mind and down, and ohhhhh guysssss I really like it. I’d also like to make it an interactive fic where the readers may choose which factions John and Sherlock could join, which would affect the ending of the fic, much like what happens in the game, but I’m not decided on this. But there is great potential, I think, though I need to make a big mindmap and brainstorm all that would need to be involved, so there’s lots of lore to consider (which I already got started on). It would be another huge fic, and I plan to write at least half of all that could be published before sending it to ao3, possibly. We will see, but you can see how my mind is overworking itself already... >:) it looks quite badass (but that’s just me so far), and its working name is Fallout: New London. Actually, there’s a prologue and first two chapters that are constant (meaning that it is firmly locked to the AU and can’t be influenced by choices) and in progress already and semi-drafted because I am a psycho like that, but no details yet! I have no self-control.. but yeah, this is the biggest one I’m excited about out of all the fics my mind invents.

Do you accept prompts: ehhhh, maybehaps? I don’t know. Probably not at the moment, maybe in a year or so. I like the idea of doing Christmas prompts, so maybe in 300 days approximately, who knows?

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: Currently, it stays on Reichenbach Falls and its 2 later seasons, because that’s when things get real >:)) also Fallout: New London. so much johnlock in sight.

Upcoming story you are most excited about: Due to my lack of time at the present moment, I nowadays mostly revisit some comfort fics if I feel like shit, but I do keep my eye out on @iris-best-taken-in-small-doses‘ The Corvus That Calls at Night. I am subscribed to the ao3 profile so once it an email popped up and I saw ‘medieval’ and all the other priceless tags (pls check them out I love them) I went oo >:D I am merely waiting for my holiday spirit to kick in fully so I can put my feet up and catch up to my reading; there’s also @simplyclockwork‘s Hired Gun I keep my eyes on, and I patiently wait for @jbaillier‘s Messages From Deep Waters -- I remember that back in August(?) she posted a post about doing research on sea fish and how to gut them? Not sure on the English word or if I’m correct at all right now, but hmmm Scotland staged AU, I like that. Also her You Go To My Head stories that are coming, I love them dearly, and I am so excited there’s going to be more Medical Husbands content :’)

historical dramas, alternate universes, video game fandoms, nhl & the crown

hello!

I’m going to make this fairly short (or at least try to haaA). I am looking for 1-2 new rp partners! I work two jobs and have a pretty active lifestyle so please understand this is a hobby for me. My posting speed ranges from once every couple of days to once every week or so, but I'll always let you know when I'm busy or hitting roadblocks. Some of my stories have really slowed down so I'm looking to have a rp going that is at a pace of at least 1-2 replies every couple of weeks.

I love detailed plots and stories; crafting good posts is a huge part of why I love rping. I match/mirror my partner’s length and put a high amount of importance on compatibility as writers. Good grammar, punctuation, spelling is A Thing for me. I put 110% in. I write fully lit to novella style rps with my posts ranging from 900-1800 words average. If you want a partner that’s invested in writing together and all the joy that brings, I’m your person!

I am looking for original period piece/historical drama roleplays full of drama and angst, fallout related roleplays, roleplays centered on fictional NHL players, slice-of-life or modern romances, and a few more.

what do I write?

I can write f/m, m/m, and m/f pairings- doesn't really matter to me so long as the plot and characters are compelling. I love smut just as much as anyone but I need a good story and solid character development to go back on. I want to feel something when we write and I hope you do too! I don't have a ton of limits when it comes to kink etc aside from the basic ones, but generally each of the characters I write have varied and different interests and preferences. I'm interested in writing the following fandoms right now:

Transformers personified: Essentially, utilizing characters from the Transformers universe to make characters and stories based off of them/using them in a personified manner. We could depict the war as a political one, or with warring armies, or anything we wanted to do. I'm most familiar with Transformers Prime, and I would be really excited to talk this one over with you!

Disney personified: Similar to the idea above, we take stories/characters and springboard them into our own content and plots. Let's talk it out!

The Outer Worlds: Admittedly I haven't finished the game yet, but I would love to do some character and world building here. Canon characters could be brought in if needed.

Fallout: New Vegas: I can do OCs for this, or I can play several canon characters such as Arcade Gannon, The King, and Cass. Either way, I'd be more than happy to plot with you in this world. I'm also interested in playing out a story related to Fallout 4, where I can play Elder Maxson or Paladin Danse, or we can write OCs.

X-Men: Give me all the plots utilizing Jean Grey or Wolverine, those are my favorite canon characters to write. I can also write OCs. I would also love to play Wolverine against a Jean Grey. All in all, I am a happy camper with this one.

The Crown/British Monarchy: I have a niche interest in the British monarchy and figures related to it, specifically George VI, Elizabeth II. I'd love to take the concepts and maybe the figures and write out some stories, historically-based or not, that involve some of the character types, situations and challenges faced. This idea is really flexible and I'd love to do some world-building here!

Mafia 2: I can write a pretty decent Vito Scaletta and I'd love to write him against your OC. We can take the premise and play with it, maybe make a spinoff or a sequel, something like that.

The Man in the High Castle: I would love, love, love to write something set in this universe. We'd definitely have to do some worldbuilding here but I would love to figure something out based around this universe and the characters in it.

Right now I also have a huge interest in doing period pieces/setting slice-of-life stories in different historical settings. I'd really love to do some plotting together and come up with an intriguing original story. I would love to do stories with the backdrop of the first or second world war, the great depression, the turn of the century, etc etc. I think so many of my plot ideas would be much more interesting placed against different historical settings. I'm most familiar with 1900-1960s backdrops but I would love to explore earlier (little women, or pride and prejudice-esque) eras as well! Pleeease get @ me if you're interested in a healthy dose of history with whatever twists we can come up with :) Here are a few plots/prompts to get started:

**** (m/m) sugar daddy: My oc is a law student studying in your oc’s country in order to get their degree abroad. They’re from eastern Europe and uh. broke af. They settle into an arrangement with your oc where your oc agrees to ~pay him for his company~. We could take it anywhere- your oc could whisk mine off his feet and ‘save’ him or. Be toxic & trashy and make my oc’s life hell.

****(m/m) the guardian: Your oc is a newcomer to the NHL but is quickly making waves- think Connor McDavid style. He’s young and impressive, but mostly, impressionable. he starts to get battered around by both his teammates and opposing teams. After a few hard hits and fowl play within the game that have cost your oc bench and recovery time, the team’s coach calls in reinforcements to boost the team’s morale and serve as a protector to your oc. My oc is a player who hasn’t got the talent part but has got a huge heart. Not to mention… huge hands. Good for makin’ fists. Good for fightin’. My oc protects your oc during the games, coming to your oc’s aid, picking fights for your oc and protecting him on the ice. As such, the two players grow attached to one another.. perhaps too attached for the captain to be comfortable with. Possibilities for a love triangle and other complications, for sure

***(m/m) too good to be true: Our ocs start out in the WHL, both as promising wingers. Their good chemistry is vital to bringing back their team’s success. However, one of our ocs starts to get too attached to the other, and when an NHL draft separates them, one of our ocs is all too eager to cut contact and try to forget. The two excel in their NHL careers without one another, and end up on NHL teams with a history of deep rivalry. Occasionally, the gloves hit the ice, fueled by the tension of unresolved feelings and the pressure of the respective teams to keep up the rivalry. The two are reunited when they are both chosen to play nationally for the same team, and are forced to reconcile what they have both buried so deeply within them.

***(m/m) big money: These two ocs play for rival teams in the nhl. while their teams have a history of tension, our two ocs take it to the next level. Audiences are more excited to watch these two fight than they are to watch the game itself. There’s a market in the violence between these two, and a reputation to maintain on both ends. If the public found out that these two were secretly seeing one another, their careers would both be over.

My oc has serious commitment issues. They often go around leaving individuals after 4-5 dates, with little to no explanation of why. Your oc falls for mine, and is the first to confront my oc about their shitty habits.

Your oc is a huge fan of my oc’s hockey or political career. Your oc wins a contest to meet and have dinner with my oc. While my oc expects a boring night out, my oc is completely surprised by how well they hit it off with your oc.

My oc, your first oc and your second oc all grew up together. Your first oc has always been pining for my oc’s attention, and is thrilled when my oc and your first oc finally get together. They develop a long term relationship, but my oc knows it would devastate your first oc if they told them that they have been seeing your second oc for most of the relationship.

My oc and your oc are in an arranged marriage. My oc is actually a spy on your oc's national government. Espionage, reconnaissance, and betrayal abound.

My oc is royalty (think British monarchy) and yours is, absolutely not; either a reporter, a soldier, maybe a business person. My oc has taken interest in yours as a friend to keep them grounded... or as a thin veil for a romance that absolutely no one would approve of.

As for general OC ideas, here’s a list:

street racing, fast-and-furious-esque setting

small town canadiana or americana

fun, fluffy romance based modern settings

light worldbuilding - new to this but wanting to learn

WWI / WWII history based

something based around the Titanic (I know, so cheesy)

alternate history — I would love to work on doing some worldbuilding with you and creating some kind of retro-futuristic alt history IE fallout before the nukes dropped.

estate drama — something akin to Downton Abbey but with our own spin on it

honestly whatever you can pitch to me that isn’t high fantasy :)

I can expand on and work with any of these ideas, these are just topics. Whatever I do with you, I promise it’ll be fleshed out, with tons of opportunity for drama.

how do we get started?

Pleaaase send me an email at [email protected]; I can give you my discord if we hit it off. Please give me some of your thoughts/an idea of why/what you’d like to write with me! I can write over discord or email or both. We can sort out the brass tacks there and figure out if we’re a good match. :) Thanks for your time and I hope I hear from you!

Cyberpunk 2077 non-spoiler review

Anyways here’s my writeup about my least favorite parts of 2077 for people who are interested in seeing if it’s for them. Both going to talk about content as well as gameplay. This is for PC version, too, because I know last gen consoles are suffering terribly rn and I wouldn’t recommend the game if you’re not going to be playing on PC. At least not until it’s on sale or the issues have been resolved. It really, really shouldn’t have been released on last gen consoles at all in my opinion - or at least should’ve been released on consoles LATER.

If you like Saints Row, GTA, Mass Effect, Shadowrun, or the Cyberpunk genre in general - I definitely think this is something you might want to take a peek at! I wasn’t anticipating the game until about a month or two before release - so maybe that’s why I’m having a blast - but It’s one of my favorite stories from the past decade as far as sci-fi goes. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, and It’s really impressed me. I can’t even go into detail about all the things I LOVE because I really want folks to experience it themselves. Just know there’s a very intricately detailed world, all the characters are memorable and insanely well realized and complex, and the story is great fun. Also made me cry like 5 times. It’s become one of my FAVORITE games very quickly.

I’d also recommend Neon Arcade if you want someone who’s been covering the game for quite a while, including the technical and game industry aspect. He does well to go into some detail and even though he’s a fan, I’ve found him to be largely unbiased. I’m not going to go into industry politics here because I feel that’s up for everyone to decide on their own terms.

No spoilers, things to keep in mind, content warnings, etc. below!

CONTENT WARNINGS and issues with plot/story

this setting is dark. very dark. if you struggle stomaching things like dystopian landscapes, body horror, physical, mental and sexual abuse, corporate and gang violence, abuse of children, harsh language, and concepts that mess with the perception of reality - this game might not be for you. It’s a very mature setting, and I don’t mean that in the Adult Swim kind of way. I mean it in the ‘oh shit, it went there’ way. In my opinion I haven’t run across anything in it that was handled distastefully when it dipped into the depressing, but dark and gritty isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and I wanted to give a disclaimer.

The game’s universe in advertising and working for the lower class also exploits sex/sex work quite a bit. This is part of the lore itself because in this universe everyone’s become desensitized to sex and violence to the point that marketing embraces it and makes it ridiculous. I feel it’s very obvious that it doesn’t condone this message and is instead a commentary on consumerism - but people still might be uncomfortable seeing a lot of suggestive stuff all over the place regardless.

Women in game are naked more often than men - even though there is nudity for both. This is likely a mix of appealing to the Gamer Boy demographic (even though the story does NOT actually), or the fact that media is way more cool with seeing naked women than seeing full frontal nudity on men. They probably had to tone some of it down to avoid going above an M rating.

The story is amazing, but sometimes it dumps a lot onto you at once. It’s one of those sci-fi stories that you have to really be following the names, faces, and concepts continually to get it all down. There’s a lot of betrayal, background players, etc. I think by the mid-way point I’d mostly had it, but It’s pretty dense. However it’s still amazing. You might just need two playthroughs before every tiny detail clicks - because there’s a LOT of details.

Honestly I think it would help to read up on the lore first so you’re not going ‘what’ constantly. But people have seemed to manage fine without that also! Neon Arcade has a really nice series of videos (like 2 or 3) that get you up to speed with the universe. It also helps you decide if the tone is right for you.

I think the main story should’ve been longer, also. I don’t mind a 20 hr story, especially in a massive RPG, but It feels like they really struggled to cram as much into that time frame as possible. It skirts the edge of being nice and concise, snappy, and tight - and needing just a few more moments to take a breath and wait a second. This is helped if you do a lot of side quests.

The straight male romance option, River, is INCREDIBLY well written but he doesn’t tie into the main plot in any way whatsoever. It’s very strange and feels like they either ran out of time with him, or slapped together a romance with him at the last second. All the other romances at least know what’s going on with V’s story - meanwhile River has no idea, and you can never tell him. He’s an amazing guy though and I highly recommend his questline. He appears in ACT 2.

In general I’d say not to bother with the romances. There are only 4 total, and while the romancible characters on their own are really well written, the romances themselves are just kinda meh. One romance you don’t even meet until act 3. I don’t think they should’ve been included in the game at all, because they definitely don’t feel as fleshed out as everything else.

CDPR also sometimes forget that women players or gay men exist. Panam and Judy have a lot more content than River and Kerry for example. I don’t think this is intentional, they just have a large fanbase of dudebros. It only shows in the romance content and the nudity thing though.

Johnny, Takemura, and Claire should’ve been romances and I will fight to the death on that.

There are gay and trans characters in the game and their stories don’t revolve around their sexualities. It’s very Fallout: New Vegas in it’s approach to characters: IE. you’re going to love them. All of them.

V’s gender isn’t locked to their body type or their genitals- but to to their voice. I don’t think it’s the best solution they could’ve used but given how the game is heavily voice acted I assume that was what they had to work with.

Some of the romances are locked to both cis voices AND body types (not genitals if I recall but body shapes). That’s disappointing but I assume it was because of scripted scene issues and/or ignorance on the dev’s part considering the LGBT NPCS are so AMAZINGLY done. There’s no homophobic or transphobic language in the game - though there are gendered curse words and insults if that bothers you.

Some characters MAY suffer from ‘bilingual people don’t talk like that’ syndrome. But it can be hard to say for sure given that translators exist in this universe and the way they operate aren’t fully described. It’s only momentarily distracting, not enough to take away from how charming the NPCs are.

The endings are really good don’t get me wrong but I want fix it fic :(. All of the endings out of like 6 (?) in the game are bittersweet.

Both gender V’s are very good but female V’s voice acting is out of this world. If you don’t know what voice to go with/are neutral I’d highly recommend female V. Male V is charming and good but he feels much more monotone compared to female V.

V has their own personality. To some this won’t be a detractor - but a lot of people thought they’d be making absolutely everything from the ground up. V is more of a commander shepard or geralt than a skyrim or d&d pc, if that makes sense. You can customize and influence them to a HUGE degree, some aspects of V will always be the same.

Streetkid is the most boring background - at least for it’s introduction/prologue.

GAMEPLAY/TECHNICAL

If you can run your game on ultra, don’t. It actually looks best with a mix of high and medium settings. Unless you have a beast that has ray-tracing - then by all means use ray tracing and see how absolutely insanely good it looks.

There are color blind modes for the UI, but not for some of the AI/Netrunning segments in cutscenes. Idk how much this will effect folks with colorblindness but those segments are thankfully short.

There was an issue with braindances being an epilepsy trigger because for some reason they decided to mirror the flashing pattern after real epilepsy tests - probably because it ‘looks cool’. I don’t have epilepsy but it even hurt my eyes and gave me a headache. Massive oversight and really goddamn weird. Thankfully this was fixed.

There is no driving AI. Like at all. If you leave your car in the street the traffic is just going to pile up behind it. It’s one of the very few immersion breaking things I’ve encountered.

Sometimes when an NPC is driving with you in the car, they’ll drive on the curb and/or run into people. It’s kind of funny but can occasionally result in something weird. Feels very GTA - but nothing excruciating.

The camera angle feels a little too low in first person mode when driving on cars. You get used to it though.

The police in this game feel slapped on and I hope they improve it. Right now if you commit a crime, you can never tell what will actually trigger it. And if you just run away a few blocks the police forget about it.

Bikes are just way more fun to ride than the cars are.

You CANNOT respec your character after you make them. Ever. it sucks. Go in with an idea ahead of time what you wanna do - it’s better than being a jack of all trades.

as of now you also CANNOT change their appearance after you exit the character creator. This, also, sucks. Make sure you REALLY like your V or you’re gonna be replaying the openings over and over like I did.

Photomode on PC is the N key. Had to look it up. The mode itself is great though

Shooting and Mele fighting feel pretty standard. I don’t have a lot of shooter experience besides Bethesda games so anything feels better than that to me. So far I’ve enjoyed stealth and mele the best, but that’s just my own taste! The combat and driving aren’t groundbreaking by any means, but they’re still very fun. I look forward to running at people with swords or mantis blades, and zipping around the city on a motorcycle to see the sights. The story, lore, and interesting quests and characters are the real draw here.

I haven’t encountered any game breaking bugs in 80-ish hours of play time. One or two T-poses, a few overlays not loading or floating objects - but nothing terrible. Again, my experience is with Bethesda games. This is all usually fixed by either opening your inventory and closing it again, or exiting out and reloading your save.

The C button is mapped for crouching AND skipping dialogue by default. That’s terrible. Change it in the settings to be HOLDING C skips dialogue and you’ll be gucci.

There’s apparently a crafting system. I have never been inclined to touch it. But I also play on easy like a pleb so IDK how it all scales otherwise.

The mirror reflections can be a little bit weird, at least on my end. They always end up a teeny bit grainy despite my computer being able to run everything on Ultra Max. You can still get good screens out of it though!

So many people text me to sell me cars and I want them to stop. Please. also the texting menu is abysmal. The rest is ok tho

It’s pretty clear when you’re going to go into a ‘cutscene’. all cutscenes are rendered in-engine BUT you often will be talking to other characters at a specific angle or setting. The game locks you into this usually by having you sit down. It works for me - after all we do a lot of sitting- but it IS very obvious that it’s a way for the game to get you in the frame it wants to display.

That’s all I can think of rn! If you’re interested but wanted to get a slightly better idea of whats going on, I hope this helps. I’m really enjoying it and despite my issues it’s exceeding my expectations. I’m going to be thinking about and replaying this game for quite a while.

Fallout 4 Companions react to Strong having a crush on Sole

(REQUESTED!!) (im cackling like a maniac already)

(I know I used this before but...This IS Sole and Strong)

some are them realising it and some are helping him come to the realisation (some of the reacts even work together as one!)

Cait:

Cait watched as Strong stomped back and forth in front of Soles house in Sanctuary, at 4 am, on a Sunday. ‘’Oi buddy! can ya quit yer stompin?’’ she whispers out angrily, putting out her cigarette onto the side of one of the small shacks sole built Strong grumbles under his breath which makes Cait come striding up ‘’what is your problem?!’’ she was trying her best to whisper at least ‘’Strong doesn’t know!’’ he roars back she covers her ears and sighs ‘’Listen big guy, people are tryin to sleep and they cant with you stompin around’’ Strong grumbles again and points at soles door ‘’Strong cant be without master’’ ‘’what you like a lost puppy or somethin’? yer supposed to be a big mean ol’ supermutant’’ Cait scoffs, now leaning against soles house ‘’NO Strong does not want to be, without master near him, makes Strong MAD!’’ Cait’s eyes widen and she backs away slowly ‘’good lord, you better talk to MacCready about that...’’

Curie:

‘’Ah monsieur Strong!’‘ Curie waves strong over in a chirpy tune ‘‘How have our experiments gone so far? any pain? some memories? violent tendencies more than usual?’‘ Curie had gotten some data from some ‘hospital’ of sorts from New Vegas and was testing the medication in does on Strong so far nothing was different of course Strong was already more ‘Put Together’ compared to many supermutants and it had been a very small dose, ‘‘No strong want stop, making head fuzzy! weak!’‘ Curie nods and checks her chart ‘‘When does this usually happen or is it all the time?’‘ Strong stomps his feet slightly ‘‘If Strong is near master it becomes fuzzy! want to stop! need to be strong and protect Master’‘ Curie stops writing down in her notes and freezes ‘‘Oh Mon dieu’‘

Codsworth:

Codsworth is what he calls ‘Smart for an old bot’ he knew from the get go, hes still full of old world ideals so he isn't to keen on it, considering supermutants are known as violent brutes as well, but he warmed up to Strong (well as much as one possibly could if they weren’t sole) and it became quite entertaining for him to watch over a cup of tea and a nice book (he makes the tea for show, sadly he cant drink it) as strong ‘somehow’ gets red when with Sole, it really makes Codsworth rethink many things

Danse:

Danse...Isn’t exactly a fan of supermutants in general, that's just the way he’s wired (haha get it...Ill go)

Strong would always try to size Danse up, whenever he would talk to Sole Strong would be there, either watching intensely with a violent glare or just interrupting whatever he could, so he went up to him and asked what his problem was, guessing it was because he used to be brotherhood and also because...Danse obviously wasn't a fan of him. Strong just stares him down and points a thick green finger to Danse’s chest poking it into him slightly ‘’Sole needs real man, not metal man’’ and walked off leaving Danse to be (the gif above)

Dogmeat:

You know that thing dogs do when they cover their eyes with their paws and or ears as well?...Yeah just that

Deacon:

One word nine letters Terrified

Deacon thought it was kinda cute at first when he would watch strong follow Sole around, in that scary sort of way...in that way where little girls sing ring around the rosy or your child stands beside your bed in the middle of the night and says nothing, but then he noticed things...different things, like how he would rarely let anyone else around Sole, and that one time where they went to the third rail and that person tried to hit on sole and he chucked a tantrum and set the third rail on fire and- OH MY GOD

Piper:

Piper was making her usual rounds around Diamond City, trying to question whoever she could about her new piece ‘’Mirelurks and their MireQuirks’’ when suddenly she saw strong browsing the general supplies store she was confused why he was here alone, things may have changed since Sole came into play but he might still get given a hard time, he scratches his chin and Piper moves closer to greet him ‘’Master friend, Strong need gift for Master, Master gave Strong milk of human kindness’’ Piper thought this was very normal in fact and did help him pick out something, but then he turned to her and said ‘’How do humans show ‘E fec tion’ ‘’ and she froze ‘’Oh wow buddy i’m not the one for that um...Maybe Nicky can help he was married once well- when he was- when he wasn't- wait was he him- yes of course- um - but its- well-’’ Strong had enough of her blubbering and scoffs already walking off to see valentine, Soles gift in hand. Piper breathes out and then in deeply but then starts laughing softly, it was kind of cute really, but she didn’t think Supermutants could feel ..Love?, Piper had already found a new, and better article idea. SCORE

Preston:

Preston sighs softly, wiping the sweat away from under his hat, taking it off to fan himself with it he noticed the ground rumbling slightly beneath him ‘’Strong that you?’’ Preston turns to the direction of the rumbles and places his hat back on, sure enough he was met with big green mean fighting machine, strong. ‘’You know master, what does master like, besides blood and fighting’’ Preston purses his lips in slight confusion an audible ‘huh’ leaving his throat ‘’Strong want say sorry for Third Rail on fire, Mack Ree Dee says I should show sorry with actions’’ Preston scratches the side of his face and stares at the ground for a minute ‘’why don't you go to diamond city? check out the stuff there I’m sure they would like anything from the surplus store’’ Strong grunts in agreement and stomps away again behind Strong stood MacCready with a tilted head and raised eyebrows Preston looks at him completely confused until MacCready takes his two fingers and draws a heart, Preston stands there dumbfounded his gun falling from his hands

Valentine:

It was a slow day for nick, seemed not many people needed help nowadays guess he had Sole to thank for this time off, but he was getting a bit restless with all this sitting around waiting for something, he felt kind of bad for wishing for things to happen but he was sick of the small ‘Lost my cat’ or ‘forgot where my nuka-cola truck was’ and sick of the fact all of those were deacon in different wigs, so when his door opened he was pretty excited he turns his head up quickly and is met with strong slowly trying to squeeze into the door, he struggled for a few minutes before sitting down, and then breaking the chair, but he still sat in place on top of the broken chair on the floor, nick chuckles and rubs at his temples why was the world against him ‘’Strong, great to see you...What do you need?’’ strong was quick to speak ‘’Paper send me but before that pwes ton and then before that mac ree dee and then before him irish lady, and now im here help strong now metal man!’’ nick rubs the lower part of his face and sighs ‘’so...Paper? sent you specifically?’’ strong nods with a grumble ‘’Alright..tell me what you need’’ it was better than seeing deacon in a long blonde wig talking in a high pitch voice about his cheating husband for 5 hours ‘’Strong been told to come to you because you were married and I need to know E fec tion’’ Nicks eyes widen slightly, the pupils whirrling vibrantly this had to be one of deacons tricks ‘’Affection? for whom’’ Strong slams a big green fist on the desk, breaking it, nick pretends the desk is still there for sanity sake and rests his arms in midair ‘’For Master! who else would be good enough for E fec tion’’ Nick could die at that moment ‘’Alright Deacon you can come out now’’ Strong roars angrily ‘’Bald man at settlement!’’ oh god so this was...Serious, nick takes a looooonnngggggg drag of a cigarette and sighs ‘’Alright...ill help ya’’

X6-88:

(petition for me to just use Raymond Holt gifs for X6 considering they are basically,,The same person like the personalities are spot on omg)

All of the companions where sharing their opinions/outlooks on Strongs growing affections on sole/if Sole would return them and all that, Hancock threw in a few sexual jokes (making everyone groan in different tones) while everyone else already knew X6 did not, and he found it obscene

‘‘x6, what do you think about it?’‘ Curie asks with her eyes full of curiosity, as always.

‘‘Absolutely...Not’‘

‘‘What do you mean ‘Absolutely not?’’ Piper asks with a joking scoff

‘‘it is ridiculous at best, there is no way’‘ the other companions sigh at him ‘‘hey it could be a real blossoming love my guy, they will have gorgeous half green babies’‘ Deacon says with a mouthful of carrot X6 looks at him in distaste and turns in his hair ‘‘X6! don't ignore us, stop being a grumpy pants you aren't in the institute anymore! love is real!’‘ Mac says excitedly X6 slowly turns his chair back and stares at him through his glasses

‘‘It might be, but not between sole and the supermutant, now before you complain, i am once again turning in my chair’‘

he will come around

MacCready:

‘’MACK REE DEE!’’Strong stomped up to Mac at INCREDIBLE speed ‘’whoa there strong! you could flatten me buddy’’ he chuckled but he was literally terrified for his life seeing strong run like that ‘’Loud lady says you can help me’’ strong says bluntly ‘’help with what?’’ now mac was interested ‘’I told her I didn’t want to be without Master and she tells me to see you little man’’ MacCready rubs his neck in confusion why would she send strong to him over nothing it was only natural that he would be if he considers Sole his Master ‘’After fire in Third Rail Master was upset at Strong, STRONG CANT STAND IT’’ Mac nodded slightly ‘’uh well...Sometimes a good ‘’hey I’m sorry’’ and some affection, maybe a hug and a gift can work?’’ strong seemed to like that idea ‘’I GO NOW’’ he roars ‘’whoa buddy wait! do you want me to tell Sole you’re leavin? I’m on my way to have dinner with her now’’ dinner!? Strong’s alarms went off in his head and he picks Mac up by his jacket snarling slightly ‘’Dinner?!’’ Maccready stares at strong, confused and terrified ‘’Um yeah...The thing people do to eat? she wanted Duncan and Shaun to meet formally? you were invited remember?’’ ‘’oh’’ strong slowly and gently (for a supermutant) and slightly dusts Mac off and turned away MacCready laughed softly at how strange he could be and then stopped dead in his tracks ‘’Wait what the fu- ‘’

Hancock:

Once the institute was defeated Hancock and Sole both came up with the idea to have a party for everyone at the third rail, all of good neighbour was decorated from top to bottom with funny decor, synth scraps, all of that (much to x6′s dislike, he still went) everything was fine and dandy, everyone was partying it up, Magnolia switched It up for the night and was singing some upbeat party tunes, and then some random stumbled up to Sole, Hancock watched for a distance he knew Sole could handle themselves so he just watched silently, it was chill and all until Strong war cried, threw the person into some lit candles which then got caught on a decoration and set it on fire and then in shock some people bumped into each other and started fighting AND THEN as everything was going to shit Sole had to jump up to Strong to avoid the fire as it pooled around them, the way strong held onto Sole, told him enough whether supermutants could feel that kinda thing or not wasn't his business. Putting out his cigarette he sighs and decides to help in the chaos as Deacon walked into the third rail ‘’ I BROUGHT PIZZ- aaaa???!’’

BONUS

Sole:

Sole was sitting at dinner with Mac, Duncan and Shaun and turned towards the empty spot they had reserved for Strong with a sigh. They just continue to smile and eat, until the door gets fireman kicked down (I cannot stop with that) and strong appears Sole stands up and strong walks towards them, a pretty sweet looking belt in hand he throws it at sole and they catch it ‘’is this for me strong? well thanks! I-’’ then Strong picks them up and awkwardly hugs them to his body sole struggles a little bit against him ‘’is this about the third rail? its alright strong I told you that I was just busy’’ Strong ‘’I’m trying to do human E fec tion’’ sole goes silent and then smiles softly ‘’thanks strong that’s really nice of you to do that for me, but you don’t have to I like you the way you are’’ strong slowly puts sole down and sole pats him on the arm

Mac and Duncan just looked at each other awkwardly and kept eating the whole time

Bonus Bonus
