who?: @vuldak-juneau where?: tiber bay when?: neptunalia

Naturally, Elokian was eager to put the whole experience behind him. Whoever he became in the prism would remain in the prism. The things he brought back with him were far more pressing than worrying about the state his other competitors had seen him in. Elokian was still the Captain of the greatest armada on the Veild Sea and that had to remain his priority. Though, however resolute he may have been in such sentiments, from atop the deck of his ship he couldn't stop his eyes from following her down below. Everyone experienced a unique sort of pain during his trial, and Elokian experienced more types than anyone. But the feeling of Juneau's impacted him deeper than any pain he'd experienced before. "Aye there girl, don't tell me you've come to cash in on my offer already," he shouts down, leaning over the edge of his flagship. "I have a rather busy day of tavern hopping and flirting with pretty boys ahead, but I can squeeze a kneecapping or two in for a fellow survivor."

OH AND BECAUSE...i realize not everyone is a lore nerd like i am and i have been consumed by dwemer lore trying to actually put meat on the bones of tony’s dwemer au (which i think i have successfully finally done) -

here are some fun tidbits about the dwemer in general.

+ dwemer are, if not exactly atheist, close enough as being so in the tes universe.  they deny the divine nature of the gods, claiming, basically, they’re nothing more than elevated creatures and that mortals have the same chance of doing exactly the same (it ties into the idea of CHIM - which is kind of like a form of enlightenment, and if they knew about talos they’d just see it as further proof). + there’s an actual dwemer tale that compounds this concerning azura, where a tonal architect and a chimer priest/mage were friends, and they called up azura and presented her with a closed box and asked her to tell them what was inside.  she answered wrongly and the dwemer took it as proof to something he already suspected, but that’s the thing:  the dwemer are very much about proof over belief. + there are a couple of good, solid theories as to what happened to the dwemer:  001 states that when kagrenac used the tools on the heart of lorkhan, he basically unmade the entire race of the dwemer, erasing them from existence.  the only ones to survive this were the ghosts of the dwemer cities and yargrum bagarn, a dwemer who was in the outer reaches (basically not on nirn and in some other plane of existence which means the dwemer had the ability to travel between planes physically without the aedra or daedra) when this happened - he has no idea what happened and when you meet him in tes iii: morrowind he’s suffering from corprus disease. 002 kagrenac used the tools and the entirety of the dwemer race’s souls melded with numidium, a colossal construct they built known as the brass tower or the brass god to mock the aedra and the daedra.  tiber septim later gets his hands on a second building of numidium. 003 azura, offended at the dwemer’s blasphemy and pretty much sick of their shit, scoops them all up and puts them in oblivion jail for eternity, where they still exist waiting to be freed (but does nirn really want these amoral bastards back - that’s the question).  this one’s probably the most likely since bethesda knows we want playable dwemer. + dwemer are telepathic.  they have what’s called the calling and can communicate that way with one another, which is probably really useful in a forge where it’s loud and shit. + the dwemer are extremely amoral.  they wrote up an agreement with the falmer about taking them in and blinding them to save them from the nords (which it should be noted that the falmer ultimately agreed to) and used words like “our affection” and had bits about not fearing the darkness overcoming their vision because they were “safe”.  but it should also be noted that everything that befell the falmer under the dwemer was in that contract, and the falmer were no angels themselves. + it’s speculated the dwemer and chimer are just two separate tribes of the aldmeri.  it would explain similarities in physicality (eye shape, ears, stature), and when you remember the dunmer are grey skinned with red eyes because azura cursed them for turning on the pact made with the “good daedra” and following the tribunal (it’s also why there’s a difference between house dunmer and velothi ashlanders). + there is a possibility the dwemer were trading concepts, ideas, and magical knowledge with the dragons during the age of the dragon cults.  yeah. + the first council (an alliance between chimer and dwemer) came about because nerevar of the chimer and dumoc of the dwemer were bffs. + the dwemer think being alive in the world is living in a dream, and they want out.  thus wanting to destroy the world and use the “earth bones” to reverse engineer immortality. + they replace most magic with music.  it’s why their engineers are pretty much called tonal architects, why in game in skyrim especially you hear those tones every now and again, and why their own translated (yes, we have enough of dwemeris to actually translate most of it) language mentions tones and music a lot. + they were so technologically advanced they had:  airships.  cameras.  amuniculi.  steam power.  a form of electric light.  space observatories. + dwemeris had dialects, once you look at the inscriptions in different parts of tamriel.  the academy for dwemer studies is actually putting it all together, if you’re interested. + dwarves is a misnomer.  the dwemer people were of average height, compared to other races on tamriel.  the name dwarves actually comes from the giants in dwemereth (morrowind) who first saw them and thought they were tiny.  note:  these are not the same giants as those and the frost giants found in skyrim and solstheim. + dwarves are also described as being a slender, willowy people.  pretty much your standard tolkein elf build without being super tall.

001 for Fallout: New Vegas, 002 for your Benny/Courier ship, and 003 for Joshua Graham!

this is gonna get long so i’m going to cut the rest under the cut

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character:

nv has so many characters i can’t choose either joshua or the generic courier six

Least Favorite character:

probably father elijah. fuck him and fuck his goddamn casino

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):

veronica/christine, joshua/edward, benny/courier, arcade/boone, dean domino/courier

Character I find most attractive:

joshua motherfuckin graham enough said

Character I would marry:

swanks bc then i’d get a pretty dress and a chance to sit at the casino all day lmao (and he’s p sweet so why not)

Character I would be best friends with:

rex, bc no one would like me enough

A random thought:

you can see the lucky 38 from almost every angle of the mojave and it really makes me Emotional for some reason

An unpopular opinion:

,,, i don’t really have one?? maybe that the ncr is less functional than the legion but if you asked me to explain, it would probably take a long time to put everything in words.

My canon OTP:

veronica/christine!!

Non-canon OTP:

too fucking many benny/courier!! (all benny/courier stuff is fucking Amazing)

Most badass character:

besides courier six, probably ulysses. like c’mon dude fuckin holes up in the divide and waits for you to come

Pairing I am not a fan of:

vulpes/caesar,,, i feel they have more of a familiar relationship

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):

uhhhh,,,, jesus i’m not focusing enough to notice these things lmao,,,, 

Favourite friendship:

probably anyone w/ the courier lmao,,,, but also joshua and caesar (or at least their former friendship)

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when or if I started shipping it:

well idek man, raul and jupiter is my own actual canon endgame?? but, see, i figured jupiter loved benny too, just smack fell in love w/ him during that one-night stand, so then i was like,,,, what if i made an au where she didn’t kill him and he came back and there you have it!

my thoughts:

they’re a good pair, they compliment each other: benny’s good w/ a gun, jupiter prefers melee weapons, benny has Horrible fashion sense, jupiter well Doesn’t lmao

they’re happy in this au and nothing hurts, no, not really

What makes me happy about them:

the fact they actually get married and have kids?? and kinda enforce-ish the law in vegas on certain points?? 

What makes me sad about them:

in the actual canon of mine, jupiter crucifies him, then burns him alive w/ his own lighter. that makes me Incredibly sad

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

if we’re talking about generic benny/courier (which i also love btw), it’s probably the overuse of ‘pussycat’? i’m not sure lmao

Things I look for in fanfic:

either benny and the courier hatelove or they’re deeply in love and anarchists

My kinks:

//chinhands//

not telling

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

for jupiter, her true endgame is raul, so there’s that. she also fools around w/ dean quite a bit, so there’s always that possiblity too. benny’s dead so lmao rip, but i wouldn’t mind some benny and swanks action!

My happily ever after for them:

they get married after benny crawls back to vegas, have three kids (dack, tiber, and callisto), run the lucky 38, and play cards at the table until they fall asleep on each other’s shoulders, dance at the tops until either of them starts kissing the other and doesn’t stop, generally just being a Happiedly Married Badass Duo!!

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character:

joshua graham is one of the most interesting characters in a game that’s filled with interesting characters- his faults and failures are as human as they get, and the fact that he faces the challenge of comfortably slipping back into legate-mode is incredibly real. also, his ass looks nice in tight jeans and that voice has probably made a many good people’s hearts thud a little faster.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

edward sallow/caesar (mainly!), @squeakinghiccups‘ oc, sheila o’kelly, and our shared baby, alexis, also courier six and a very tiny part of follows-chalk and ulysses

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

again, @squeakinghiccups‘s oc, vale, and daniel, but also courier six (you see my dilemma) 

My unpopular opinion about this character:

he’s much more than what we reduce him to- tight jeans, bible jokes, good voice, bandages. he’s also struggling w/ who he is, especially during hh. as legate, he did many inexcusable things: the assimilation of tribes, the rape and slavery of women, the torture of those who tend to fall into the ‘degenerate/profligate’ category, the torture and brainwash of boys who would become the next generation of legion, so on and so forth. people tend to forget that as legate, he didn’t just train troops and stand next to caesar, chest puffed and everything. to be honest, joshua isn’t the best person. he’s wise, he’s hardy, but to call him a rolemodel, especially when the courier themselves has more or less a pivotal role in his further development (ie. the ending of hh and what happens to joshua as a result), isn’t something i would do, despite how much i may love (and, sometimes, romanticize) him.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

joshua just grows old peacefully. just an old man w/ bandages and a swat vest, a lot happier than he is now. the weight of his sins still weighs heavily on his shoulders, but it’s okay. he’ll pay those fines when they’re due. right now, the sun is shining, there are children playing outside, children who have no reason to fear this already harsh world, and he doesn’t need to reload and load guns as if they’re the only thing that keeps his hands busy anymore.

everything is fine.

My OTP:

joshua/edward!!!!

My OT3:

joshua/edward/bill!!! i have a lot of feelings about those three boys who marched into the desert, and got lost among the mirages.

This Just In: Jaguar Prototype from Spectre Bond Movie Heads to Auction

A rare 2015 prototype Jaguar C-X75 stunt car from the James Bond film Spectre is set to be auctioned at RM Sotheby's Abu Dhabi sale on November 30th.  The C-X75 was featured prominently as the villain's car in the film's iconic chase scene through the streets of Rome, before winding up in the Tiber river.  RM Sotheby’s will offer chassis no. 001 in Abu Dhabi, one of just a handful of Jaguar C-X75 examples used as stunt cars in Spectre. The Jaguar C-X75 was intended to be a hybrid-electric, two-seat concept car produced by Jaguar in partnership with Formula 1 team Williams F1’s Advanced Engineering division. The C-X75 was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and in 2011 it was announced that a limited production run of approximately 250 examples of the 780hp car was planned. In 2012, the production was cancelled, and a mere five developmental prototypes were built to the intended production specifications. A further group of stunt cars were built for and used in the filming of the 2015 film. Pre-auction estimates value the car at $800,000 to $1,200,000.
