#maximus x lucy

[k0dster]

I think if I see another ghoulucy shipper I might have to check myself into a mental hospital

Anyways, now that that's out of the way, ik you're not supposed to hate ppls ships, but what is there to like?

It's a 200 year old radiated ghoul with a girl who he waterboarded, watched chew his finger off, and then sold her organs to a robot for drugs bc he didn't give a flying damn about her! Ah yes, my favorite trope!

Did I mention his wife and kid whom he's looking for??

Not to mention Maximus. This is pretty self explanatory, I shouldn't have to elaborate, but I will anyways.

Need I say more?

I feel like some of it might be race related (don't cancel me) but regardless of it is or isn't, not liking Max just bc he gets in the way of whatever tf vaultghoul is just feels midly wrong.

Like I understand not liking him for killing a knight, trying to kill thaddeus, ect. But not liking him simply bc he gets in the way of a non Canon ship leads to you guessed it! Discrimination, the pipeline to racism!

Don't forget the part where the ghoul was going to kill Lucy, no hesitation, if not for Max!

Anyways, I'm done complaining. I hate ghoulucy and ghoulucy shippers. I also hate that I have to ask where the fandom is for a CANON ship but where are all the vaultknight shippers at?

very low effort and fast but i did the thing

[randombook4idk]

how about instead of fighting about if shipping vaultghoul is morally ok, we instead fight about who out of the two - maximus or cooper, had the worst "meeting your future father-in-law" moment ?

They sold me so hard on Lucy x Maximus, I'm a FIRM believer after the series... but WHERE is the fan content? They're both so sweet, hot, interesting, and complex.

Right??? They're so cute!! An on-screen couple that really didn't feel forced!!! They deserve more hype!!! The "I'll find you" couple, the "I'll support you" couple, the "love at first sight" couple, the hope for a better way of life, the self-sacrificing, the angst of how he fell in love with the girl whose father ruined his life.

I just have so many feelings about them and it's insane that no one else is talking about it.

Listen guys, all the ghoul fanfiction, loving it, amazing, stunning, BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE MAXIMUS FICS??? CHOP CHOP FIC PEOPLE HOP TO IT

[sawboyx3]

Do. Do you see my vision .

[persephinae]

no!! but the way Maximus grew as a person because of Lucy!!

He was lost and full of hate and bitterness and was losing himself to the darkness of the worst of the Brotherhood of Steel because he thought that he belonged with them, for better or for worse. he still wanted to help people, but the BoS would have never allowed him to be that person and would have only fed his darker emotions

but when he met Lucy and connected with her, he was given the freedom to become a better version of himself, to see that there's a world beyond the BoS, beyond his pain

he found his purpose in just being with Lucy

he was able to smile, laugh, and dream of something more with Lucy

he found his home with her and he felt safe with her

there’s something so brilliant in cooper howard’s costume design - it’s so much more than just a simple blue and gold cowboy fit.

at the beginning of the show, before the bombs dropped, cooper howard was a good person - always kind to others despite the circumstances or how he was feeling in the moment.

you could say… he was exemplifying the golden rule.

this is evident in his costuming - cooper is decked out in gold even when the bombs dropped. the golden rule is still so close to his heart - i mean come on - look at how tight that bandana is around his neck.

even in certain lighting, his hat looks gold.

cooper howard being a good person and living by the golden rule is what barb probably fell in love with (she has her own interesting character analysis and thought process which i would love to discuss later). because this trait is so admired by her and those around cooper, she probably saw him as who she would hope future generations would become as they grow up in the vaults. people like him are the better future she envisions - so it’s no coincidence that the vault suit is in his colors.

what does the blue symbolize?

well, to me, i think it’s the corporate presence in the world. there’s more blue in the suit than there is gold - hinting at vaultech’s corporate greed, capitalism, and evil machinations. (there was also blue in his old cowboy costume - i.e. the presence of the studio and how they use cooper to push a mccarthyism narrative. kinda in the same way vaultech will use him)

the blue in the suit - symbolizing vaultech’s overwhelming presence and the reason for such a bleak and cruel world - does not swallow up the gold - the small semblance of humanity’s capacity to do and be good. it’s the small hint at barb’s intentions (analogous to the road to hell being paved with good intentions).

yet the man who was an inspiration for vaultech’s workers - the man who they all wished they could be like, the man who symbolized all the “do good” ideas they pass down to their children but in the end have no intention of following them (wink wink, looking at you, hank) - was in the end stripped of all his humanity by the world vaultech created (wow, would you look at that? another analogy for capitalism!)

this man, once rich in morals now robbed of them all, wanders the wasteland a ghoul. everything has been taken from him - symbolized being devoid of layers of skin.

now, he’s nothing but the ghost of the man he once was - haunted by what has been done. everything he wears as the ghoul is frayed, tattered, and dark - symbolizing that cooper howard, that kind and caring man before the bombs is dead.

but wait - is that…

you don’t see it? Ok, i’ll zoom in some more

GOLD? (perhaps even the same shirt he was wearing during the bomb drop??)

perhaps the golden rule, those values that he once held so dearly, are still there just dormant - waiting to be awaken again.

maybe cooper howard can come back… that just maybe there’s still hope for the good in humanity…

something something Maximus leaves behind the power armor to follow his new reason for persevering

[generic-ventblog]

Maximus x Lucy seems like it could be fun tbh. But I haven't finished the season yet

I think Maximus x Thaddeus cluld be fun too

[surreallyy]

Ghoulcy this ghoulcy that Max didn't learn what sex was, become a kinder person and then deliver a fake head to the Brotherhood KNOWING they'd probably kill him then basically mount the entire brotherhood to rescue her only for you to ship the two white people together

Me, watching the Amazon Prime Fallout show: I can't find a queer ship to glom onto and yet I... like it? Me, stares at hands, confused, lost in the abyss:
