Sandrock Bachelorettes Being Drunk

Mild NSFW so minors DNI!

So many notes on my Bachelors headcanon post! Thank you guys so much! Anyways, as (one) kind soul requested, here are the bachelorettes! I did my best to capture their unique traits, but unfortunately, the dateable women in Sandrock are written more subtly (flat) than the men. Without such extreme personalities (Elsie and Catori notwithstanding) it was much more difficult to think of unique scenarios the ladies would shine in.

Amirah

To date, no one in Sandrock has ever actually seen Amirah get drunk, and most would speculate that it’s simply something she’s never done. Being the parentified older sibling to Arvio, she places a strong emphasis on personal responsibility. That being said, someone get this girl a drink, please! Of all the bachelorettes, she could probably use one the most.

But once she does decide to let loose - maybe a Fleeting Youth Tea Society meeting got out of hand - boy does she relax. Sober Amirah scolds Arvio, Drunk Amirah goes on an hour long rant with Pablo taking notes in the background giggling with glee. Did she mean anything she said? Of course not, but a girl needs to vent sometimes. She’s a very flip-flop kind of drunk, though. Once the tipsy euphoria hits, you can bet she’s dancing around the saloon with reckless abandon, laughing at anything and everything. Her usually reserved personality gives way to a sloppy wholesomeness and she’ll spend the night latched onto Heidi and the Builder just laughing and hugging and reminding them all just how much she loves them.

She’s gonna be extra harsh with Arvio the next day, so be prepared for him to show up at the workshop asking why his sister hates him now.

Catori

I know a lot of fans aren’t huge on Catori because of how messy she comes across. But a struggling businesswoman, divorced with a kid, whose idea of rebuilding Sandrock means installing roller coasters in a monster-infested canyon. That’s it. I just love messy characters who pour their heart and soul into their dreams.

Anyway, Catori is no stranger to partying by any means. Again, she has a kid. She’s not exactly naive or reserved, so when she drinks, it’s really just her natural personality getting amped up a bit. She’s pitching her latest drunken business idea to anyone and everyone in the saloon because you never know which tourist might secretly be a bazillionaire in disguise.

“Oh Builder, it’s you! I was just looking for you! I’ve come up with a great show idea for Catori World. We’ll have a separate building set up with all kinds of games just for adults. There’ll be dice and card games, and customers can put their own money on the line for a chance to win big from the house! How exhilarating!” “...Catori that’s a casino. You want to build a casino. I don’t know how well the Church would respond to something like that in Sandrock.” “Oh Fuck the Church. They’ll be on board as soon as they see how much profit it’ll bring in for the whole town!” “Catori, no”

Elsie

Elsie wants to get drunk. No one else in Sandrock wants Elsie to get drunk. She’s already a serial prankster and a furry when sober. Who knows how far she’ll go with no inhibitions? She’s definitely getting drunk by sneaking into Cooper’s premium Yakmel milk supply before she knocks on Mi-an’s door at 3am dressed in a full homemade catsuit. She’ll spend the next hour trying to make herself purr and climbing all over Mi-an’s furniture before bolting out the door to try and scare Owen as he walks home from the saloon.

Seriously, it’s like she develops super ADHD when she drinks, never focusing on anything for more than 5 seconds before something shiny catches her attention and she’s pouncing on it. Light help her when she decides to go for a night-time horseback ride across the desert. She’s 100% gonna wake up near Gecko station surrounded by concerned Penskies, but Logan or Larry will find her soon enough and take her home to an annoyed and frightened Cooper. He’s been preparing her lecture for the better part of four hours.

Grace

She makes the best drinks in Sandrock, hell, in probably all of the Free Cities. But she never seems to get drunk, ever. Years of training and building up resistances to different poisons and intoxicants while working for the Alliance make it very difficult for her.

If the builder is dating her, though? She’ll feel comfortable enough to let her walls down and drink plenty. Even Grace doesn’t know what to expect from herself when she starts drinking, so strap in. She’ll only drink heavily at home with the builder, and once she is drunk, she’s nonstop cuddling with all the pets. Once the builder starts feeling left out and tries to join the cuddle pile, her attitude shifts drastically.

“Hey Builder?” she’ll ask, standing up to look over the builder before just grabbing the collar of their shirt and staring them dead in the eye.

“Yeah Grace?”

“I’m gonna take your virginity now.”

“...huh?! Grace, I’m not a virgin. You know this.”

“I don’t care; your virginity is mine and I’m taking it. Right now.”

Hold on for dear life, Builder. You’re in the Light’s hands now

Heidi

Drunk Heidi is a Smash-or-Pass/Would-You-Rather/Never-Have-I-Ever goddess. She’s quick with the prompt, and her Would You Rather questions are always the most morally or philosophically devastating you’ve ever heard.

“Builder, if me and your mom somehow switched bodies and you had to sleep with one of us to switch things back, would you rather choose your mom in my body or me in your mom’s body?” Cue distraught Builder noises ‘cause what the fuck, man.

She is, in a word, relentless when drunk, chasing Qi around the saloon trying to get him to finally admit out loud that he’s obsessed with Gungam, making (welcomed) passes at the builder any chance she gets, and man oh man, does she have some choice words for Master Verna.

I definitely see her as the type to get ridiculously flirty and handsy with the builder for the whole walk back to the workshop, only to immediately pass out on the couch when they get there.

Jane

Tomorrow is gonna be a “watch a movie” day at school for the kids, Jane already knows. She’s 6 Yakmel daiquiris deep and showing no signs of stopping. Why does she drink like a monster? Who knows? Knowing why wouldn’t change the fact that she’s doing it anyway.

She’s definitely making the Blue Moon stage hers for the night, spouting endless play renditions, sometimes switching into her regular teaching lectures, and re-enacting Old World historical events. She’ll sit at a booth with Ernest for a while hammering out ideas for new plays and novels, maybe even how to incorporate Ernest’s novels into a creative writing lesson.

(Jane, I’m sorry your entry is short. We don’t get to know much about you other than that you’re a teacher and an actress.)

Mi-an

Mi-an is a very nervous and kind character, so I could see her being hesitant about drinking, and especially getting drunk…at first. As soon as the buzz and tipsiness start to kick in, it’s a whole new side to her. She’s singing on the blue moon stage with Jane (making out with Nia in a corner), helping out Elsie with pranks, and generally indulging in shenanigans she might overthink when sober.

I think Mi-an would actually like being drunk once she’s done it once or twice, like any gifted student as soon as they get to college. It’s an easy way to turn off her everyday anxieties and just live in the moment. She’s definitely still trying to fix everything around town, though. Sober or not, this woman is determined to work herself to death. Owen has to kick her out one night after she starts a one-woman builder cruise inside the saloon at 1am.

“Go to sleep Mi-an.” “Owen, you don’t understand, I can fix all your wobbly tables and the sinking booth AND the shelf behind the bar in like, 5 minutes flat. I even have the materials right here!” “Yes, I saw you drag in a pile of scrap wood earlier when I told you no. And what do you mean wobbly tables????”

Nia

Ah Nia, recent college graduate Nia. She’s a party girl, through and through, but in the most wholesome way possible. She’s the mom friend who may be just as plastered as everyone around her, but will still be handing out snacks and water bottles for everyone else. Elsie passed out and needs to be carried home? Who knows when Nia started hitting the gym like Pen, but she’s on it. She may be drunk too, but she knows what she’s doing and how to work around it. We see in the game that she’s more than capable of handling herself, from scaring Yan so badly he flat out begged the builder to keep her away from him, to dungeon diving with the likes of Logan and the builder as well. Sure, she’s incredibly sweet and bubbly, but there’s a lot of depth to Nia that doesn’t get explored anywhere near enough. If the builder isn’t romancing her, she’s definitely making out with Mi-an in a corner. Girl’s got builder fever, something FIERCE.

Venti

Strongest babygirl vibes of any character in the game, and she’s got the least amount of content of any romanceable townie, tragic. Tragedy is really the name of the game when it comes to Venti, well, for literally everyone BUT Venti. Her relentless optimism is only gonna get amplified when she starts drinking. She made it to Sandrock, she’s got a steady job with people she likes, the town is recovering and Venti is alive. And she’s gonna enjoy being alive to the fullest she can. Sober Venti tends to fade into the background, but Drunk Venti? Try and find a way to not think about how amazing she is, I dare you.

She’s dancing, absolutely stoked over getting all the “fancy” drinks and foods at the saloon, and if she’s dating the builder, she’s gushing about how happy she is with them. Be careful, though. Venti may seem the impossible optimist through and through, but that may be more an issue with her simply never acknowledging her trauma rather than having processed it healthily and come out happier. If she drinks too much, be ready for that happy drunk mask to drop and reveal someone who has buried their sadness so deeply they have no idea how to handle it should it come bubbling to the surface. So, just focus on having her drink lots of water & get to bed early, then find a good therapist in the morning.

Thanks so much again guys! Let me know if you have any headcanon ideas you’d like me to write on. My ask is always open!
