What was going through Cooper Howard’s head as his nose necrotized, and his skin mottled, and he lost himself and everything he ever stood for one act at a time.
This is the finished version of my original prompt, inspired by the official fallout ghoul transformation progression poster. What did Cooper look like after the bombs fell, after he lost his daughter? After he began to forsake every value he ever treasured. After he made his first kill in the wasteland? Did he ever wake gasping from nightmares where he lost his daughter all over again? Cooper didn’t lose his morality overnight. It hurt.

next thing you know, he’s got a custom jersey and ball, a shelf of bowling trophies, and is on a local team.
i know that loid is supposed to be good at everything, but just once i’d like to see him pathetically fail at something despite his earnest efforts. every time i go bowling i am consistently surprised at how difficult it is.

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

Imagining if I was this age during the Iraqi war and I had to watch losers on tumblr call the genocide that is actively happening at the hand of the us “foreign affairs that they can’t do anything about” and then I had to convince people to spare pocket change so my people could escape mass slaughter and then some chronically online tumblr user sent me an ask that was like “guilt tripping people into caring won’t get you far” as if caring for people who’re dying isn’t literally part of being alive and you shouldn’t be persuaded into it in the first place

“Not much farther now.”
Wanted to try my hand at a mock screenshot study of Shivana! This is of the night before she reached the Temple of Sacred Ashes, before a much longer journey begins (she did not dress for the weather)

being physically disabled as a young adult after being an physically active child in and physically active family, who still participates in the online spaces for physically active hobbies but cannot participate physically means… i’m a living nightmare. i talk to people who share this interest with me, and my existence is their worst nightmare. they see my crutches and hear that i cannot walk far or climb a ladder and think, thank god it isn’t me. my existence is horrible and unimaginable to able bodied people.

AFTG (andrews version) (half of the book is Andrew, high on drugs, describing the texture of a veggie burger he’s eating for lunch that he’s lathered in hot sauce and pickles for no apparent reason)
