Whatever gland was responsible for empathy had long since dried up in Cooper’s heart. He watched Lucy cry, his hand unconsciously petting the dog back and forth, back and forth.

“Come now, sweetheart,” he drawled after a while, “no man is worth your tears.” He picked at his teeth with his free hand, his nail prising out a sliver of charred meat. “Plus, you’re wasting water.”

Lucy and the Ghoul negotiate the dynamics of their new alliance. Post season 1 finale.

Nothing gives the same kind of random ego boost like managing to finally clean up your home and making it nice. Like ooh look at me, I'm living like people do, I made myself iced tea and I am eating my snack from a real plate. I got floors and shit.

I can't get over the way Lucy and the Ghoul's trigger fingers are symbolically exchanged. Lucy needs to learn how to survive in a hostile world and Cooper needs to be reminded of his humanity every time he pulls the trigger.

something something red thread of fate

one of the funniest things about cooper howard is he let the wool be pulled over his eyes for years by vault tech (lost acting roles over supporting them, did commercials for them) all because his wife said so (he really really loved his wife) but the second he found out his dog wouldn’t be allowed in the vaults he was like wait a damn minute hold up hold on hell NO!!!! and committed espionage to listen in on a top secret meeting between the most powerful people in the world. he could allow corrupt capitalist doomsday fear tactics because his girl said so but not liking dogs is where he drew the damn line

Cooper Howard -> in Fallout: Episode 3, The Head

And stuff can mean a whole lot in the context of wasteland life.

How I’ve been welcoming the new Fallout fans:
