Playing Portal 2 because I need to decompress between beta/edit work on mine and others' fics and. The idea Wheatley was added as an Intelligence Dampening Core. The idea Aperture had to come up with means of holding back GlaDOS, an AI in complete and murderous control of the facility. The idea she was too intelligent and beyond control they created Wheatley as a workaround to destroy the facility. Wheatley's her ADHD, right? Right?

If you’re still doing fallout portraits, I think a The Mariner one would be cool 🙌
Hi, sorry for being quite late on making this! I have.. feelings about The Mariner. I once faced a cancer diagnosis when high-grade cells were found during a routine checkup; they were removed during a surgery. I'm okay now, but I have to go in for scans/checkup once a year because I am in a high risk group.

One thing I love about The Mariner is her defiance. Facing the diagnosis (mostly) alone, she works as normal and refuses to let her community support her; fearing pity and people treating her differently. On one hand while you need to talk to people and lean on them, people can be overbearing especially when you hear the same well-wishes over and over; it can be hollow no matter how supportive they're trying to be. People don't understand the inherent body horror of knowing there's shit going on within you that you might not be able to control. It's complex.

can't wait for the greatest hits
"Why isn't anyone talking about how evil Joshua Graham is I don't see anyone bringing this up" annual meeting
Bethesda Doesn't Understand Fallout, penned by someone who played FNV but not F1/F2. Has never heard of Tim Cain
Account bio "I'm a Fallout scholar lore expert" with a degree from Trust Me Bro I Read The Wiki A Lot university. Assumes critique of their ideas or a dissenting opinion in their reblogs is a personal attack and will block you for it
"I can't believe Bethesda didn't let MacCready go back to be with Duncan"
Reminder that it's literally just a video game series. Make friends. Be nice. Have fun. Mostly don't pretend to be better than others, thinking you know more about the series or because you had a couple hot takes pop off on tumblr dot com! It's not cute!
Cant wait for a wealth of new fallout fans brought in by the show so we can witness wave after wave of the same braindead discourse we've been having for 15 years

Here are the best MacCready sketches I've seen today! Lovely, OP! He can be difficult to draw. I've seen many sketches where he looks too old - you really capture his youth here.

yo shoutouts to my local drug infested sex den
Tumblr media
So Fox News ran a story about how they think libraries are turning into drug-infested sex dens and I am shocked, shocked that I was never offered any drugs during my 15+ years working in libraries.

Hello, bienvenue! This is my Fallout blog. I write fanfiction, take screenshots and am a former Nukapedia contributor. I'm from the Canadian tundra and I'm an immigrant to the United States. My fave Fallout is Fallout 2.
Long Time Running is a slow burn longfic that turns MacCready's time at Med-Tek into a failure, forcing him to start over to help his child. It has playlists, in-depth & highly detailed descriptions, addresses the Canadian Annexation and Dogmeat talks like he's Charlie from All Dogs Go To Heaven. And much more!
I met and married @edaworks thanks to Fallout - we often collaborate on Fallout worldbuilding. Ever wonder about vertibirds, what tech the Institute has, agriculture or where MacCready's homestead was? Send us an ask! You can otherwise find us exploring the Capital Wasteland and Appalachia with our Shiba Inu, Mishka.
I offer beta reading/editing for fanfic writers with a focus on grammar, research and universe continuity as time & existing commitments allow - DM me and I'll see what I can do. I have a background in newsprint journalism, music zine editing and paralegal work. If I'm not doing any of the above, I'm tending to my garden and aroids.
• Long Time Running on AO3 • Fic & Fallout inspired playlists on Spotify • Ko-Fi •
Tags: Long Time Running for fic updates. Jack Ward and Olivia Dallaire are my oc Fallout Meta for thoughts about the world MacCready Tours, LLC for a guided tour of the Capital Wasteland Commonwealth Portraits and Fallout Screenshots for photography My art for the occasional drawing. Here are my shitposts Wifeposting & Mishkaposting for what matters most
(U・ᴥ・U) Have a good day & thanks for being here! Be kind!

After watching the fallout tv show, I wish there were an au where Barb was the ghoul instead of Cooper.
She did everything to protect her family, her daughter, and (maybe?) failed. She set the world on fire and had 200+ years to live with the consequences. She knows vault tec intimately, knows the experiments, the secrets, all the ugly parts.
Barb smiling at Lucy's 33 vault suit and conving her to help, because she knows 33's purpose and knows how to use it to her advantage. She knows Lucy was born and bred to be a good little colonizer, and she knows the flaws in Bud's designs.
Just imagine the drama once we got the reveal. Everyone guessing how she became a ghoul if she supposedly had been accepted into a "safe" vault, guessing as to why she joined the hunt for the cold fusion. Loyalty to vault tec? To gain power to herself? Maybe she believes in some faction or another?
The season finale with Lucy following Barb because she is curious (just like her mother) and wants to know more about vault tec and, by extension, her father and, hey, Barb could use a new assistant since Henry--sorry, Hank--is no longer filling the position.
I like Cooper, but damn, I'd love to see how Ghoul!Barb would play out.
Hey gamer, thanks for the ask. Cool idea and you should write it, hit me up if you ever do!
Personally I have so many questions about Barb and her motivations and life before the bombs. She's one a handful of characters who remains a mystery by the end of the first season.
Barb's perspective is worthy of exploration. Her fate is unknown, aside from being on a roundtable of capitalists trying to ensure their survival, with the thin veneer of doing it for humanity (let's be honest, House, Vault-Tec, RobCo, Big MT and West Tek all have a vested interest in their own survival and getting ahead of the game after the war). Sure, she's doing it for her family, but a mention of Janey is also a bargaining chip for her to negotiate. Was she a lawyer before Vault-Tec, or in another career where one is required to form arguments with an awareness of what people respond to?
There's a blurring of lines; mother trying to protect her family, but also political and business savvy. She looked up at someone while seated at the roundtable and adjusted her Pip-Boy, perhaps listening to a radio frequency. What's her position at Vault-Tec, anyway, aside from being an executive? She's speaking on behalf of the people who pull the strings, but where are her hands on that thread? What relationship did she have with Moldaver, if the latter found the selling of her life's work personal enough to insinuate Coop didn't know his wife as well as he thought he did?
What was her life like as a Black woman in the pre-bomb Fallout society? Did Vault-Tec really set off nukes on the day her daughter was at a birthday party with Coop, or were they and Los Angeles caught off guard? What is the fate of their daughter - did she get into "one of the good vaults", or not? What if just Janey and Barb got into a vault together, but not Coop? What if Janey got into a vault, but Barb and Coop are both ghouls, walking the Wasteland? What if Barb is in Vault 31, or in a pod next to Mr. House?
