I think it's cool that y'all run a blog together. As someone in a DID system myself with introjects/fictives as well, I was wondering if you'd be willing to share a little bit about how you both differ from the game's canon, or how you're the same. I always find that interesting, since for us, it usually feels like a homogeneous blend of both. Also, I like y'all's art!

I really like this question, because honestly I haven't thought about this super hard aside from looking at something from the game and saying “That's wrong.” to myself.

The game itself almost feels like a caricature of my own experiences, which I guess makes sense since it's a game and wouldn't have the time to cover everything. It feels like an exaggerated and almost theatrical recount of what happened in some aspects. Most of the conversations depicted I remember going differently, and the Tulpar itself was a bit different too- more lived in I suppose. Like, for example, those stupid fucking Polle posters Pony Express plasters everywhere were only on the wall for the pre-flight inspection and were otherwise replaced. We never left those ugly ass things up for a whole flight, we only put them up when we were leaving and when we were docking because those were the only times corporate was looking. (That stupid statue is too inconvenient to move though)

But you were asking about differences with us in particular, not the Tulpar or other stuff, and that answer is more complicated. Obviously I can't answer for Curly because our memories differ but it's hard to answer for myself too.

Appearance wise my hair is a little darker shade of brown, my skin is more tan too. I'm less lean, my eyes are a silvery color (I can't remember what they were in game though, so that might be the same) We don't see most of my skin but I have a few scars here and there, including one on my stomach from an emergency appendectomy (Ow.) it's hard to think of physical differences because you really don't see much from that one outfit.

I see a bigger difference in how they portrayed- or didn't portray- my mentality and emotions. Things were a lot more complicated. I'd go into it but my half of the answer is already super long.

I also like this question, and I think Jim got it down with the game/canon feeling like a caricature. It’s like adapting a book into an hour long movie, the events and characters are similar, but often times have less depth to them. If my memories were a book then that’s what it would be like.

The little bit of conversation and quips you get from canon-Curly I feel are pretty accurate to myself, and I look pretty similar too. I don’t think we get enough info on him pre-crash for me to say if I’m super different or anything— though if we’re going off of things the devs have said, I actually do like sweets. Whenever I eat out at a restaurant it’s almost a guaranteed I’ll order dessert and make whoever’s with me have some too, because life’s too short to not share a sweet treat with your friend after a nice dinner.

There’s also some differences between my injuries and medical junk post-crash, and in general a lot of stuff during that time was different. Jim was a lot more involved with my care than they portray too. Though my memory can only be so trusted from those couple months.

I find all of this interesting too, so if you want us to expand on anything then you’re always welcomed to ask!

Just to add onto @bugbutton ‘s post. regardless of the merits of if Andy has autism or not just let people ship who they want to ship and let them write the characters how they want to write them.

Many autistic folks (including myself!) engage with characters on a very deep level and often pick up on things which could be signs of autism that many neurotypical people don’t notice.

Even if there is hypothetically no proof that Andy has autism (I’m not super attached to the character and I have no idea if he has autism or not tbh) why do you care? Most of these fics are written by a couple neurodivergent folks who are just looking for representation in their favorite tv show. Much of fanfiction is created to add representation for marginalized groups that wasn’t in the original source material. By saying that people can’t write a character as autistic (especially when many of the authors are writing from their lived experiences or those of their friends and family) then you are ignoring one of the main reasons why fanfiction was written and flourishes today.

This is also a rare pair there are like at most ten people writing for this ship (and I know most of them) you are attacking a very small group of autistic people, mostly teenagers. If this was a bigger ship with more people involved then maybe this might be understandable, a bit unwarranted but understandable, when you have a large ship then it’s okay to expect and want a variety of characterizations. But if you were to sit down and write like one fic every day for like 3 weeks you would literally have written more then half the 15andy fics. If you really hate this characterization of Andy then write your own fics but you should just let people do what they want, it doesn’t hurt you, if you don’t like something just scroll past it, don’t interact.

i have a love/hate relationship with 15andy

Just seen that Jim's into Fallout, I love FO4 (even though I know it's not exactly a fan favorite) so Jim, if you've played it, I would love to know who's your favorite companion. I think for me it's between Nick Valentine and Paladin Danse.

Hmmmm…

I feel like this could be biased in a way because this is our host's favorite too and he's also in my head, but I really like Gage from one of the DLCs. In the current playthrough I'm doing I'm taking over the commonwealth and trying to use all of the settlements to make as much money as possible and the raiders are perfect for that. So it's good to have Gage around since he doesn't get pissed off when you do terrible shit like murdering people or being an asshole to settlers. (Even if he gets upset when you do drugs.)

Otherwise though I think either Paladin Danse or X6-88. I'm a fan of the serious & intimidating category they fall into, and they both have cool uniforms. (As long as you keep Danse in his power armor lol) I wish you could keep X6 when you blow up the institute but I'm pretty sure we can get a mod for that anyway. I also really like making custom robots in the automatron DLC.

It sucks that fo4 is kinda the underdog with fans (ignoring fo:bos) because I think it's my favorite to replay over and over again.
