23, 26, 34 for sadie?

HI MOOT!! <3 <3 Tysm for the ask!!!

#23 - How do they feel about physical touch/affection?

She's quite reserved, prefers her own personal space -- anything beyond a handshake or fist bump will only be coming from friends. They'll gladly accept hugs from friends but 99% of the time Sadie won't be the one to initiate them.

Before the events of New Vegas, Sadie spent many many years (age 15 through 34) as a courier and jury-rigging repairman con-artist, hyper-focused on saving up to one day fund their scientific research -- she didn't provide herself much time for establishing relationships (with humans at least, she's always taken to robots and is far quicker to befriend them).

All that to say, they're not accustomed to physical touch and it's a new experience having friends willing to initiate it -- like Veronica, for instance. I feel Veronica is a big hugger and while Sadie has no problem with it, it catches her off guard the first few (hundred) times.

And Benny -- holy shit. Sadie was not prepared for Just how much she's dotted on, touched, kissed, cuddled -- This could be its own post tbh but she does get used to reciprocating fairly quickly, but in smaller, less grand ways -- leaning into him, wrapping her arm around his, planting a kiss on his cheek before leaving -- her love language leans more towards Acts of Service. But now im rambling, im gonna put the brakes on haha

--

26. How would others describe them / their disposition?

First impressions are Sadie's unreactive, aloof, and short-tempered. Perhaps can lean towards off-putting with just how unreactive she is (I can go off, but it's partially due to Flat Affect from autism, and subsequently made more apparent after head trauma. If you're interested in more info, I go into an absurd amount of head trauma detail on her profile. Warning for mobile users, that particular section doesn't turn into a scroll box on mobile yet. Gotta figure out that coding lol [i know nothing about coding so uhh wish me luck lol]).

Though as she's allowed to warm up, they're genuine and kind towards friends; she's ride or die for life. Always willing to help at the first opportunity -- with anything. To the point where it could be perceived as annoying to some folks lmao /lh

[Lucky 38 Presidential Suite] Boone: hm. I'm thirst- Sadie, materializing out of thin air: WOULD U LIKE A DRINK. PERHAPS A NUKA-COLA. SOME WATER. SUNSET SASPARILLA MAYBE BUT DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH OF IT I HEARD IT'S A HEALTH HAZARD. IF U WANT SOMETHING SPECIFIC THAT WE DON'T HAVE I CAN GO BUY IT FOR YOU-- Boone: Boone: water is fine

Also!! I'm working on the Relationship section of Sadie's profile; this might provide a bit of extra insight on specific characters and their dynamic okay you got me, I just wanted to show this off I love how it's turning out so far and it seemed related tho idk if that's the adhd talking or if im being fr

34. What armor / clothing do they typically wear?

OOOHHHH I desperately wanna do a new outfit lineup for her. But I wanna answer this ask while it's still 2024 so (mostly) text-only for now >B)

She most often wears Daniel's Outfit (that guy sucked but, credit where credit's due, that outfit is fuckin fire) -- I drew her in it [here] but Really wanna draw her in it properly. Daniel who? This is Sadie's Outfit.

As for armor, the Stealth Suit MK II (OWB) is her go-to for more dangerous fights.

LL Megatron gets transported to the G1 cartoon (pre movie) guns don't kill anyone, everyone is more focused on their one liners then battle, wizards are real, days dont mean anything, what a silly universe

Edit: Comic based on this idea here

[ihateswansmorethananything]

This took way too long and I don’t even like it, kill me please

It may be a bit cringy but it’s currently 2 am and I’m too tired to care

Is there any context? No! Just make one up haha

I totally just made this because I’m a sucker for Jack being head over heels for Davey the second he sees him

@nitttstdsdtoastd asked for Javid and I will deliver 🫡

(I totally made this for myself)

Sarah is another person we can add to the “is annoyed by Jack’s tendencies” pile

Hey I'm gonna say something. Steve's not like great with words or nothing. But every so often he scares himself by putting together the most beautiful set of words he feels like he's gotta go sit in a dark room for a minute.

One day Soda's joking around 'n he's like 'c'mon Steve, admit it. you only like me for my charming good looks.'

n Steve opens his mouth n is like 'no it ain't that. sure, you're hot. but... like a sunset at the gas station. ppl look at the sky n they miss that part of the beauty is that it's in a place that most ppl walk right on through. no one thinks a gas stations a tuff place to hang out until the suns making it look all gold.'

n there's like a half second of silence n Soda goes 'u do'

n Steve's like 'I'm gonna go sit in the laundry room for a minute' n they can all hear him muttering about how ponys poetic bullshit is rubbing off on him

[aceofspades-sml]

I know I was supposed to do this long ago but when I have more time remind me to make that compilation of "Blush almost kissed in 92sies" moments

Mush: *under mistletoe* Blink!! Come’ere!

Blink: *comes up to Mush* Wha-

Mush: *kisses Blink*

Blink: *flustered, unaware of what just happened* …What was that for?

Mush: *looks up at the mistletoe*

Blink: ohh…

[uncertaininnit]

this but blush my beloved. Why are there no good pictures of them at all

[racetrack-is-back]

modern javey and newsbians are THE food shares ever. they're on dates and steal bites of everything from each other's plates.

modern sprace and redfinch threaten to stab each other with their forks for stealing food off their plates. sill not share anything.

modern blush don't share food willingly. they just casually sneak food from the other's plate when the other's not looking.

sigh... I think that when Blink would first arrive in the lodging house young, he'd find physical touch atrocious. He'd shy away from customary boyish affection, and shrink back from side-hugs or playful nudges. He's been through too much, and flinches away from raised hands, or harsh lights.

That is, until he meets Mush. Mush decides one day that he likes this kid, and wants to be friends. Blink doesn't refuse, mostly because he's not given an option. Few people can deny Mush the things that he wants, because how could anyone be so cruel?

Blink is another story. He has a hell of a time settling in. He bristles at jokes, snaps back. Like an animal with raised hackles, cornered in its cage. He feels safer by himself.

Except, of course, when Mush is in the picture. They spend days together, and soon, nights, when the lodging house becomes so cramped in the winter that they're made to share a bed. Mush doesn't mind. Blink is nervous, up until he finds that he doesn't mind, either.

The rest is history. Their lives become so entangled that they're seldom seen without each other. And when they are, the other isn't far behind. You see it in the bandana Mush wears, that doesn't belong to him. The flower tucked in Blink's pocket. Why the hell would he savor the fleeting violet weeds that bloom in spring? Only one guy does that, and it's not Blink.
