Very interesting that bethesda decided to mutate the FUCK outta most animals but only like, some of the plants. Like, they got to the grass and trees and went uhhhhhh brown. And dead. Dead and brown. They are Very dead and Very brown, hope this helps.

Although I'm assuming most of the trees in fo4 are actually alive and are just deciduous cause those leaf piles found all over the map sure as hell aren't 200 year old leftovers. So technically those mods that put the leaves back on at least some of the trees are completely lore friendly.

Who's winning in a fight?

You or the sole survivor up in Boston?

No chems, no weapons

Me, 100%. I've maxxed out my unarmed skill and I LOVE throwing sand and dirt into people's eyes. I fight dirty and I get insanely turned on by any fistfight. I am unstoppable

i love the theory that fallout didn't just stagnate in the 1950s, it returned to it. not just out of nostalgia, but desperation.

as the world fell apart, oil drying up, war time anxiety piling on and trust eroding, the government needed something familiar to sell.

and what better tool for control than the most sanitized, era of “american values” they could find?

aesthetics of nationalism, conformity, mccarthyist paranoia, all dressed up in chrome and smiles. it wasn't a freeze in culture, it was a calculated reversion.

the mythologization of a golden past becomes the scaffolding for fascist ideology. not because that past was ever real, but because it can be weaponized

myth, dressed up as memory.

in fallout's case, that myth is the 1950s. not the messy, violent, contradictory 50s that actually existed, but a state-manufactured fantasy of chrome smiles, and "american values." a world where conformity is virtue, fear is patriotism, and war is just another product.

because when people are scared, you don't give them answers:

you give them slogans. mascots. marching tunes.

you roll out project brainstorm, an actual pre-war initiative, and start pushing "covert and overt messages of extreme patriotism" into every corner of pop culture. comics. toys. music. sports.

whatever it takes to wrap the war machine in a smile.

prewar's retrofuturism isn't just for the vibes. it's state-sanctioned denial. it was a tight wrap around a dying empire, and the more things fell apart, the tighter they clung to that futile image.

like if they smiled big enough and said “apple pie” enough times, the oil crisis and global collapse would just blink away while the world burns behind it.

it's the same old rot, lacquered in vintage.

a country that chose the past over the future, and got exactly what it asked for.

not progress. not reform. just reruns of a dream that never existed.

and then it ended, the only way it could end:

with a country so in love with its own mythos it pressed the button waving a flag in one hand and a nuka-cola in the other.

First time posting Oc X canon kinda nervous

Also first time I've actually drawn my courier oc so yay

[vaultagnus]

Welp, here come the screenshots. They are holding hands guys, M’aiq the Trustworthy told me so

While trying to angle my camera for these screenshots I realised I was taking Photo Mode in games for granted. Put Pa’iic in a dress because it matched Martin’s. Sorta

(Spoilers below!)

Kind of a bad omen to wear the fit your dad died in but who am I to judge, I’ve looted worse corpses for less.

And here we have me dying in this section several times which led to two seperate instances of Martin yelling at me from across a battlefield (the kind and understanding Daedra paused in their attack to let us talk)

I actually do really like the idea of this scene being Martin yelling at us from across a battlefield.
