it kills me that the only understandable, semi-lucid line from birdie that isn't either naming his boys and saying how much he misses them, or drunkenly attaching himself to the first people to be vaguely nice to him and saying that they're Good People who he loves and actually he totally doesn't need his family anymore is just him seeing that brad is about to kill him and only being able to muster a line that equates to "welp, lemme have one last drink before i go." can we talk about the fact that he seems so passively willing to die hello can anyone hear me

#i know there are other companions who say things that are more obviously devastating like 100%#and when people talk about birdie being sad in the ending fight they mostly just bring up #that he's one of the companions who's hesitant to fight. which IS sad obviuosly #he so clearly doens't want to do this and SAYS so and spends so much time just crying or flailing or begging not to do this #but something about 'aw hell... this is it then. one last drink for the workin' man' just gets me #he's so immediately like 'well i guess i'm dying. alright by me. just one more sip before i go' like!!!#that's so UPSETTING #this sort of passive suicidality is. well. i think about it a lot with birdie tbh
