just a little bit on Vol. 11 thoughts. Not too much because I feel like we're at the point where Nightow is just saying the quiet parts out loud, and there is a lot going on trying to wrap things together for the final battle and all its moving parts.
Tumblr media
ok, i wanna talk about meryl. does anyone want to talk about meryl? let's talk about meryl!!!
Not only does she give him his gun back (via Marlon), but she also gets the coins. (as well as some personal trinkets!) Vash never explained to her what they mean or any of this, but she carries it anyway and brings it to him. He doesn't have to explain why these things are important, she just understands and she cares. And Vash getting the coins back is going to be so important in a bit (I'm eyeing nervously at Legato).
It just says so much about her character and her relationship to Vash. Sometimes I feel like I'm grasping at straws compared to all the Vash/Wolfwood out there but if I'm a weird stickler for canon and VM won't leave my brain, then it has to mean something, right?
Tumblr media
I am not Immune to the "Character learns how to ask for help" trope, oh my god. It's about the fact that taking care of yourself is compassion, both for yourself, and, if you won't grant yourself that, for those who care about you. They want to help you and they don't want to see you suffer.
Tumblr media
What's so interesting, and wonderful tbh, about getting Livio added to the narrative is that he's the tradeoff for what would otherwise have been Wolfwood. But, Livio is different. Livio is able to look at life with newfound purpose. Wolfwood saved him. Livio knows this and is turning around to pay it forward, again. And you know what? He's excited to do it. He's excited to break the cycle of violence to protect others.
I just, really, really love Livio. He's so wholesome and good.
Tumblr media
A rare narrator voice moment immediately after! Vash immediately takes what Livio said and reflects on it. Their shared love for Wolfwood has brought them together and now they fight together to protect what they love - Wolfwood's memory. Wolfwood did not die in vain. I love how this is zoomed out, so to speak - yeah, there are some things more profound than Vash can say, but we get to hear it for once, I think because Vash isn't shying away from it.
Tumblr media
M...Meryl............. Vamery.......... Vash is looking for reassurance in her. He trusts her so much. He's relying on her for support and she's so scared for him. It's not explicitly shown here but I think it's Meryl who pulls him in for the hug and initiates that contact, because previously when Meryl was crying in front of Vash, he realized it was his fault and held back. And then the fist bump kiss. Oooooohhh boy. It's so sweet. Vash initiates it as a tender act of reassurance. Of, "we're in this together" and dgkljhfgdg im going to lay down actually.
Tumblr media
last bit - who the fuck is Jasmine???????????????

Have you ever seen where they get kids to ask the players tough questions and there all dress up and have fake beards and stuff. Maybe you could do that with Jules and Katie asking the team all these really hard questions?????
Thank you for giving me an excuse to spend an hour and a half watching adorable kids ask questions and melt the hearts of celebrities. You’re my hero. There are no fake beards here, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! Sweater Weather characters belong to the incredible @lumosinlove!
“These chairs are so small,” James said as he scooted closer to the table. He nearly knocked Talker over with his elbow as the four of them squeezed in; the two kids on the other side shared a look.
“Ready, everyone?” Dorcas asked. When she received six thumbs up, she turned to the camera with a cheerful smile. “Hello, Lions fans, and welcome to Lion Pride! We have a couple of very special guests today to do the introductions.”
“Hello! I’m Katie and I’m six!” She held up six fingers and all four hockey players melted a little bit.
“I’m Julian, and I’m ten.” He waved, a little shy.
Dorcas smiled. “And how are you two related to our favorite Lions?”
Katie lit up and pointed behind the camera. “That’s my dad!”
There was a chuckle in the background. “Can you tell them my name, mon chou?”
“Pascal Dumais, but everyone calls you Dumo.” She swung her legs and her tulle skirt fluffed out.
“Remus Lupin is my older brother,” Jules said with a grin. “But Finn thought he was my dad.”
“It was an honest mistake!” Finn protested around a laugh. “Cut me some slack, Little Loops!”
“Do you want to do the intros for the guys, too?” Dorcas asked. Katie tugged on Jules’ sleeve.
“Can I go first?” she whispered. When he nodded, she hopped out of her chair and ran to the other side of the table, tapping each player on the shoulder. “This is Pots, Talker, Harzy, and Sirius.”
“Aw, man, I didn’t get to do any of them,” Jules pouted.
“You can ask the first question,” Dorcas said, hiding her smile behind her clipboard. “A quick reminder for our Lions: if you refuse to answer any of these, it means you hate children. Take it away, Jules!”
“Okay.” He cleared his throat and looked across the table with a solemn expression. “How many sticks have each of you broken?”
“Oh, that’s a tough one,” James mused. “A lot, but not always on purpose.”
“I haven’t broken that many,” Talker said. “I’ve forgotten to return quite a few to the rink after games, though. I think I have about five in my trunk that I keep meaning to put back.”
“Maybe…ten? Fifteen?” Finn rested his chin on his hand. “I should start a tally board.”
“Too many,” Sirius laughed. “I need to be more careful.”
Katie wiggled in her seat as she picked up the question card. “Why do you swear so much?”
Matching expressions of shock painted all four players’ faces. “Have we sworn in front of you?” Finn asked in a small voice.
“Yeah.”
“Mon dieu, I’m the worst person on earth,” Sirius murmured as Talker leaned his forehead on the table.
James opened and closed his mouth a couple times before answering. “Uh. Well. I don’t know, Katie. Instead of answering, I’m going to take this time to personally apologize to you and your dad, who is laughing his a—his rear end off in the back, as well as promising to form better habits.”
“If you could be any superhero, who would it be?” Jules asked, seemingly unfazed by the previous question. Wordlessly, Sirius gestured to his Captain America t-shirt.
“Spiderman,” Finn said without hesitation. “He’s the coolest.”
James unzipped his jacket to reveal a Superman shirt. “We didn’t coordinate this,” he said, tilting his head toward Sirius. “But yeah, Superman’s the best.”
Talker thought for a moment. “I really like Hawkeye. Are we talking Marvel or DC here?”
“Anything.”
“Anything? Hmm. I’m going to go with the Flash, then.”
“Nice.” Jules reached over to give him a high-five.
“I got Jules’ approval, everyone else can go home.”
“What’s your greatest fear?” Katie asked, still swinging her legs.
The table went silent. Sirius turned to Dorcas. “Is this the plan? Get us rolling with fun stuff and then give the hard ones to the five-year-old in a princess dress?”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
“Cool. Well, munchkin, I don’t like bugs and I’m not a huge fan of the dark.”
“Vegetables,” Finn said sagely, which sent both kids into a fit of giggles and made all the adults break into sunny smiles. “God, you guys are cute.”
“Pomeranians freak me out,” Talker answered once they had calmed down a bit. “They have those tiny little eyes and sharp teeth.”
James shrugged. “I’m not a fan of heights.”
“I thought you wanted to be Superman?” Jules frowned. “He flies all the time.”
“I think I’d be less afraid of heights if I knew I could fly.”
“So you’re afraid of falling, not heights.”
James looked to the camera. “And now I’m getting psychoanalyzed by a ten-year-old. Uh, yeah buddy, I guess so.”
“Hmm.” Jules looked back to the question card. “Who would win in a fight, you or our moms?”
“Your moms,” Talker said immediately as the others nodded. “No contest.”
“How would we even get in that situation?” Sirius asked. “What the did we do to make the nicest women in the world that mad?”
“Stole brownies,” Katie said with great gravity for one so young. “Mom says you four are the worst about it.”
“Mom wouldn’t even have to fight you.” Jules cocked his head to the side. “I feel like she could just give you a disappointed look and that would be enough. Katie, your turn.”
“Yay!” She brightened again. “What is your favorite cereal?”
Sirius smiled. “Fruit Loops.”
“Cheerios,” Talker said. “They’re good for you physically and emotionally.”
“I’m with Talkie on this one,” James agreed.
Finn gave them all disappointed looks. “You’re so old. Mine’s Lucky Charms.”
“Okay, Leprechaun Boy,” James snorted. Finn reached over and smacked the back of his head. “Hey!”
“Do you ever play hockey at home?” Jules asked. “I feel like Sirius doesn’t have to answer this one since it’s so obvious.”
Finn laughed. “Does tapping a puck around on the carpet with brooms counts?”
“Yeah, that counts.”
“Then yeah, sometimes.”
“I have no space in my apartment to play hockey,” Talker said. “Though I plan on moving someday and then the answer will be yes.”
“I made a rink in my backyard.” James smiled slightly. “Lily likes to skate sometimes while I run drills.”
“My turn, my turn!” Katie scooted her chair closer. “Okay. Out of everyone on the team, what two people would you take with you on a dessert island?”
“Desert,” Jules corrected quietly.
“Desert island. Are there deserts on islands?”
“I think they mean like super sandy beaches with no people on them.”
“Oooooohhh.”
James mouthed a thank you to Dorcas, who gave him a thumbs-up in return. The other three looked at the kids with unbearable softness. “Well, I’d feel awful if I took your dad with me, so I think I’m going to go with Finn and maybe Kasey. We’d have a blast.”
“Nice, dude.” Finn fist-bumped him. “Unfortunately for you, my choices are going to be Leo and Logan, since I already know we could live together without starting a war on the third day.”
Sirius thought for a second. “I think Nado would actually be able to survive on a desert island, so I’ll bring him along, and for the second one…maybe Kasey? Yeah, Kasey’s cool.”
In the ensuing silence, Jules gave him a significant look. “Aren’t you forgetting someone?”
“You’re not on the t—” The realization hit him like a truck; his eyes went wide and he slumped in his seat as the others burst out laughing. “Oh no. Oh, no, no, no.”
“Your own fiancé.”
“Please don’t tell him.”
“He’s gonna laugh so hard,” Jules cackled, leaning back in his chair. Even the camera crew was losing it in the background. Dorcas had to step out of frame. “You’re never going to live it down.”
“Well, the first person I would bring with me is Remus Lupin, because he’s read a lot of books and definitely knows how to survive on a desert island,” Talker said around his snickering. “And then I’d bring Cap, because God knows that would get entertaining after Loops finds out about this. The sarcasm would be off the charts.”
“Okay, next question.” Dorcas came back into view, still grinning. “Jules, go for it.”
“Can I ask Katie’s question again so Sirius can give a better answer?” he asked gleefully. Dorcas hesitated, then shook her head. “Bummer. What was cool when you were young that isn’t cool now?”
“When?” Finn looked scandalized. “I’m 24!”
“Yeah, and?”
“Ugh. Um, maybe Furbies? People were really into Furbies when I was in high school, though I can’t say I’m sorry to see them go out of style.”
James bit his lip in thought. “Tamagotchis.”
“I loved those things!” Talker said excitedly. “My sisters and I used to go nuts with those things!”
Sirius smiled. “Lite Brites.”
Finn’s eyes went wide. “I forgot about those!”
“Regulus and I each had one and we loved them. That was the only thing we agreed on and we used to sit—” He paused for a second to laugh. “—we used to sit in the middle of the ice rink in the backyard, still in our skates and everything, and do Lite Brites for literal hours.”
“That’s so cute, oh my god.” Talker shook his head. “What a nostalgia trip.”
Katie knelt on her seat and rested her arms on the table. “Who skates faster, you or me?”
“You,” all four answered in unison.
Jules rolled his eyes, but he was clearly hiding a smile. “How many push ups can you do?”
“How many can you do?” James countered. A flash of competition lit on Jules’ face and all the guys grinned. “Uh-oh, there’s the Lupin glare.”
“How about we have a little competition?” Dorcas suggested. “See how many everyone can do in thirty seconds?”
“Absolutely,” Finn said. The four of them had a little bit of trouble getting their knees out from under the kid-sized table, but eventually they succeeded and gathered in the middle of the room. “Katie, are you joining us?”
She smiled innocently. “No, I know I’d win.”
“Get ready.” Dorcas pulled her phone out as they knelt. “On your marks, get set, go!”
The guys went easy on Jules from the outset, but they made it look like those pushups were the hardest exercise they had ever done in their lives. Talker took a second to dramatically wipe his forehead and James’ wheezing was almost comical; Jules, however, was giving it his best shot. When the timer finally went off, Finn collapsed with a groan. “I forfeit.”
“Did I win?” Jules panted, pushing his hair out of his eyes.
“You did, congratulations!” Dorcas put her timer away and winked at the camera as they headed back to the table. “Great job, everyone. Katie, your turn.”
“Do you live in a mansion?”
“I live in an apartment,” Finn said.
“Same.”
Sirius shook his head. “My house might be big, but it’s not a mansion.”
“Does a two-story house count as a mansion?” James asked. “No? Then no, I don’t.”
“Who is your least favorite person on the team and why?” Jules turned to Sirius with raised eyebrows. “Are we going to have another desert island problem?”
Sirius threw his hands in the air, speechless, as the other three cracked up. “Jules, can I adopt you?” James begged around his laughter. “Please?”
“You’ll have to fight my mom for that, I think.”
“My least favorite person on the team is James Potter,” Sirius sighed. “Not the person I’m getting married to.”
“We could get married. Lily might mind, though.”
“Full offense, but I know way too much about you to ever consider that.”
James ruffled his hair and turned back to the kids. “My least favorite person on the team is Remus Lupin, because he ran me over in practice the other day.”
Finn side-eyed him. “Didn’t you trip him after he stole the puck from you?”
“He ran me over.”
“Sure, Pots. Um, my least favorite is Kasey Winter. He threw ice at me while we were in the ice baths.”
“Logan took my Gatorade last week and hid it all over the rink,” Talker said. “I’ll never forgive him for such a crime.”
“Oh, I like this one!” Katie exclaimed as she looked at her card. “What’s the best birthday party you’ve ever had?”
“My tenth birthday was at Red Robin and I got a Power Ranger outfit.” Talker grinned. “I was the coolest kid on the block.”
“My eighteenth birthday was pretty fun,” Finn said. “There was a bouncy house and Alex almost broke it because we were jumping too hard.”
“Does it have to be my birthday?” James asked. “Because my son’s first birthday party was awesome.”
“Why?”
“He threw cake in Sirius’ face and a food fight broke out in the backyard.”
“That was a pretty great day,” Sirius agreed. “My last birthday party was my favorite.”
“You spent the night with us!” Katie said happily.
“I did, yeah,” he laughed. “And I had a really good time.”
Jules perked up when he read the next question. “I love this one! Do you have a lucky pair of underwear?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah, totally.”
“Of course I do.”
“Is there a superstition I don’t have?”
Jules looked especially pleased with those answers as Katie picked up her card. “This is the last one,” she warned. “And it’s super important and super hard. What kind of dog would you be and why? You can take your time, I don’t mind.”
“Thank you, Katie, we’ll need it,” Talker said as he desperately tried to contain his smile. “I’ll go first, if nobody minds. I would be a border collie because one, I love them; two, they have a lot of energy; and three, they love making friends.”
“That’s a good one,” she said seriously. “They’re also very soft.”
“Yes, they are.”
Once Finn managed to suppress his quiet laughter, he raised his hand. “Can I go next?” Katie nodded. “I’d be an Irish setter. They have red hair and they’re really affectionate. Plus, I met one the other day at the park and haven’t stopped thinking about him.”
“This was a tough question, Katie, but I think I’m going to go with a golden retriever,” James said after a moment. “They’re good family dogs and they like to be on the ice with those big ol’ paws.”
“That’s what I was going to say!” She beamed at him. “Sirius, you don’t have to go. I already know what you’d be.”
He raised his eyebrows, looking highly amused. “Do you now? Can everyone else know, too?”
“Well, it’s obvious,” she said. “You’d be Hattie. She looks just like you and she gives the best hugs.”
A small puff of air left Sirius’ lungs and he blinked as James reached over and patted his shoulder. “Oh. Okay.”
“That wraps us up,” Dorcas said, looking between them with a soft smile. “Any closing statements from our guest stars?”
“Ready?” Jules muttered to Katie, who nodded rapidly. “On three. One, two, three!”
“Go Lions!” they shouted in unison with matching grins. The camera crew cheered and the players applauded, all laughing.
“Thank you for tuning in, everyone! Remember to like and subscribe for more content.”

I was just revisiting why I love stevebucky so much and seb stan defending steve and bucky's friendship was so cathartic. That said, one of the things I loved was how protective steve became about bucky. Do you have any headcanons of Steve being protective over Bucky, canon or au?
Oooooohhh boy, protective Steve is *chef’s kiss*
That whole development of him being like “I can get by on my own” to “istg if you don’t let me love you I will end my shit” that happened between TFA and TWS is so important. Steve realises he lost Bucky once and absolutely cannot and will not let that happen again, that he got a second chance to love Bucky, and by god is he going to. 
Steve will do everything in his power to keep Bucky close, keep him safe, so especially just after Bucky came back and started living with him again, I can imagine Steve just being a bit of a mother hen, constantly wanting to make sure Bucky has everything he needs and is happy (or as happy as he can be) while also being aware that Bucky needs his space and that recovery takes time. So Steve just... frets and hovers a lot, and pretends to read while actually staring at Bucky over the edge of his book, trying to gauge what kind of mood he’s in and if he needs anything (Bucky of course notices, and yes, sometimes it gets on his nerves, but he’s also touched by how much Steve wants to help, and it’s nice to feel cared for again after seventy years). And then, eventually, Bucky starts leaving the house more, running errands by himself or going for coffee with Sam or Nat, and even though Steve knows he’ll be absolutely fine, he can’t help calling Bucky every ten minutes under the pretense of asking Bucky to bring him something else from the market or coffee shop he forgot to put on the list, just to check that he’s still doing ok. Bucky indulges him, even if Sam and Nat roll their eyes at Steve’s mother henning. 
And then the one time that Bucky does actually get accosted by Hydra and taken to a secret location, Steve is incandescent, roaring at Tony and Bruce and the others who are busy trying to find out the secret location that he is going to absolutely raze Hydra to the ground, including everyone who gets in his way, and frankly, he manages to shock even Natasha with his vivid descriptions of what he’s going to do to anyone who dares put a hand on Bucky. When they finally arrive at the building where they’re meant to be holding Bucky, Steve kicks down the door and completely ignores any instructions Nat and Tony are trying to give him through his ear piece, tearing through the building in a blind rage and knocking down Hydra agents as he goes with little care for whether he’s just incapacitating them or taking them out completely.
And then, just when Steve thinks he’s going to have to threaten to throw someone off the roof to get them to tell him where Bucky is, a door opens and Bucky appears, unscathed and with a slew of groaning and bleeding Hydra agents in the corridor behind him. Bucky says, “I had ‘em on the ropes, Stevie,” and Steve just collapses at Bucky’s feet, bursting into tears, saying “I thought I’d lost you, I can’t lose you again.” Bucky drops to the floor too, puts his arms around Steve and gently rocks him back and forth, kissing his hair and murmuring to him that he’s fine, they’re fine, until Steve starts to calm down. When Steve finally looks up, his face tear-stained and blotchy, Bucky wipes away the last few tears with his thumb and tells him, “Now will you believe me when I say I can handle myself? You don’t gotta worry so much, Stevie. I’m right here and I’m not leaving you, not ever again.” 
And from that moment on, Steve slowly but surely starts to believe him. He still gives anyone who so much as looks at Bucky funnt the stink-eye, but at least he now knows that Bucky can take care of himself, and will always come back to him, no matter what.

Fallout OC Interview
tagged by: No one, but this looks like fun and figured ‘why not?’
I’ll tag: 
@mouseclarke​
As well as anyone that wants to! If you were lookin’ at this and think “Oh man, that looks like fun. I wish I was tagged” CONSIDER YOURSELF TAGGED by me. ^-^
1.       Choose an OC.
2.       Answer them as that OC.
3.       Tag 5 people to do the same. *cough*
 1. What is your name?
“Samantha Wright”
2. How old are you? 
“A bit over 228. Give or take a few years. It’s a long story.”
3. What do you look like?
Tumblr media
 4. Where are you from? Where do you live now? “Ha! A small town in the middle of nowhere. I was attending University, in Texas, when I met my late husband. Shortly after we got married, he joined the military and that moved us around for a while. We were stationed near Boston when he was discarded… I mean discharged from the Army. This was all before the war. Another long story. Currently I live with my family in Diamond City.”
5. What was your childhood like? “Not much to say. My mother’s family was conservative; my father’s family was liberal and I’m the result of that co-parenting situation.”
6. What groups are you friendly with? Are you allied with any factions? 
“I’m the General of the Minutemen and the Overseer of Vault 88.
I’d say I’m friendly with most groups in the Commonwealth, but a few of these groups have requested to remain anonymous.”
7. Tell me about your best friend. “Oh Nicholas? You’ve gotta remember to keep hydrated around him, because he is one S A L T Y sonofagun. He’s an alright detective too. You can tell him I said that.” *wink* “His office is behind Arturo’s, just follow the neon signs. I sincerely hope that you never need his services. 
All joking aside, he’s a good man and an even better friend. The more I think about it, he’s more of an older brother at this point. I’m not sure where I’d be with out his help and support.”
8. Do you have a family? Tell me about them! “My son; Shaun and Sister-in-law; Natalie. Shaun has a perpetual thirst for answers that grows increasingly difficult to quench each passing day. He’s polite, smart and accepting of everyone. Even if they are not accepting of him…
Natalie is a pistol. She’s astute, quick witted and is ALWAYS giving Piper and I a run for our money with her debates. Recently, she’s been on about exploring the Commonwealth with us. We’ve pacified her with a promise to revisit the topic at the end of the school year. Boy… is she counting down the days. Ha! Honestly, I admire that fire within her.”
9. What about a partner or partners? 
“My wife, Piper… “The spine of my book, which without my pages would scatter.” I don’t recall who or what that quote is from, but it’s the closest to describing how I feel about her.”
10. Have you ever heard of The Brotherhood of Steel? What do you think about them? “I’ve heard of them. Hard to miss that massive entrance and announcement they made. I’ve worked with them sparingly. Our core morals and values don’t always line up.”
11. Who are your enemies, and why? 
“The usual characters; Raiders, Gunners, Super Mutants, aggressive wildlife, etc. Preston doesn’t like it, but I usually don’t fire the first shot. I’d never ask this of those is one of our settlement or even of the Minutemen under my charge. It’s just a personal choice. I like make sure I’m not accidentally targeting a non-hostile. Yes, I lose the attack of opportunity, but there have been some close calls in the past.” *Pats Dogmeat’s head*
12. What about The Enclave? *apparent forced smile* “I haven’t had the pleasure.”
13. How do you feel about Super Mutants? “One of the reasons I rarely fire the first shot. The FEV process is brutal, but inconsistent. I’ve met a few Super Mutants that were altered physically, but not mentally. Interestingly enough, I discovered this anomaly is not isolated to just the Commonwealth. After some research and asking around, this has happened before in different areas around the States. Mind you, these are just rumors and personal experience.”
14. Have you ever fought a Deathclaw? “Oh yeah. OOOooohhh yeahhh.”
15. What’s the craziest fight you’ve ever been in? “The craziest? Oh my, it would have to be when defending the U.S.S.  Constitution with Ironsides. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself fighting scavengers off a land-bound ship along, side a robot that fired missiles and wore a bicorn hat. If it wasn’t for the evidence on top of that skyscraper, I’d think It was just a fever dream.”
16. Do you like fighting? “No, but there are times when a person is called to do things they don’t particularly enjoy.”
17. What’s your weapon of choice?
“I know it’s controversial, but I rarely leave home without my laser riffle. Especially since Shaun built most of the modifications on it. It’s sentimental to me if nothing else.”  
18. How do you survive? Your wits, your charm, your skills, brute force, some combination? (a.k.a. what’s your S.P.E.C.I.A.L?) “I’m not the strongest, perceptive or most agile. My mother used to say I had “the endurance of a goldfish on land, but could sell a scuba tank to a seahorse.” I’m not entirely sure that was a compliment or not.”
[[ S 4 - P 4 - E 4 - C 10 - I 7 - A 4 - L 10 ]]
19. Have you ever been in a vault? What do you think about them? “Yes, I have… I think what VaultTech has done is deplorable. The idea of a safe place to survive the war was a good one, but the human testing was not. While not all the experiments caused bodily or even psychological harm, the subjects were unaware, let alone consenting, of being participants.
The Vaults themselves are standing the test of time pretty well and make excellent, secured settlements. I’ve been working with the Overseer of Vault 81, another Vault where the scheduled experiments failed. Her advice has been essential in establishing Vault 88, though… we have a BIT more of an open-door policy.”
20. How do you beat all the radiation around here? Has it affected you? 
“Avoiding it when I can, wearing a hazmat suit when I can’t, keeping Rad-X and Rad Away on hand. Preventative practices are best, but not always an option. The best advice I received was, “Early intervention is key. It’s easier to treat light radiation exposure than fully progressed radiation poisoning.”
21. What’s your favorite wasteland critter? “I have a soft spot for deathclaws. My wife calls them “human meat grinders” and I 100% agree… but damn they look cool.”
22. What’s your least favorite wasteland critter? “Molerats for sure. They can swarm and surround you if you’re not careful. Not to mention they are a nightmare for crops.”
23. How do you feel about robots? 
*Shrugs* “If they’re non-hostile, I have nothing against them. We have a settlement run entirely by robots. I happily attended the Zwicky wedding. Lovely couple by the way. Codsworth has been a family friend even BEFORE the war.”
24. How many caps do you have on you right now? “I’d prefer not to answer that, if it’s all the same to you.”
25. Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla? “Ooo, Nuka Cola has good variety of flavors.”
26. Do you do chems? “No. Nothing against those who do. “As long as you’re not hurting anyone.”
27. Do you ever think about the Pre-War world? “Sometimes. Certain dates and places bring back memories, but I try to remain as present as possible. That life is gone…”
28. What’s your deepest regret? What would you do differently? [It’s noted that after being asked this question, Samantha looked over the interviewer’s shoulder into another room; where a woman was doing dishes and two children laughing while attempting to put together a mini robot model]
“I have none. No regrets.”
29. What’s your biggest achievement? Or what do you hope to achieve? “Rebuilding the Minutemen is something I’m proud of, but it was a collective effort. I don’t think I can claim that as a personal achievement. As far as what do I hope to achieve? I’m not sure. I don’t measure life by what I have accomplished or what I will accomplish. I’m just a regular person doing my best.”
30. What do you want for the future? For yourself? Your friends? The world?
“I want to be part of a safer Commonwealth. Everyone coming together not jut in crisis, but in celebration as well. With the Institute gone there is more of a chance for that to happen, but we have along way to go. It may not happen in our lifetime, but we can lay the groundwork for future generations.”

And seeing how desperate that boy is for your attention makes him put 2 and 2 together pretty fast: the kid has a crush on you
I mean, who wouldn’t, right??? So Zen just giggles inwardly, watching as the boy’s eyes gleam when you smile.
Ahhh… to be young and in love…  and… throwing a little tantrum everytime Zen tries to get close to you… and… stealing all of your attention to himself… okay, what the hell is this boy doing?
It’s just a kid, it’s just a kid, he is no match for Zen, it’s just a kid…. Okay, but this kid just grinned like a villain looking straight at him when you comforted him after Zen glared at the boy for ~unintentionally~ pulling his hair.
He’s missing your attention since you’ve been hanging out with that kid all day, but… he knows it’s just a kid having a crush, there’s no real threat here. However, this boy pulled Zen’s hair!
So he takes a chance when you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. “I know what you’re doing, young man…”
“Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about that?” OH THIS LITTLE PIECE OF S- “Nothing, I’ll just give you some advice on how to be a gentleman, because you know… I wouldn’t accept a rival who’s not a gentleman… I get very pissed when guys aren’t gentlemen to my baby…” he’s channeling his best acting skills and his days as a gang member to sound scary, but it’s so hard not to laugh at the boy getting intimidated for real.
“Zen…? What are you doing?” “Noona! Your friend was teaching me to be a gentleman!” you eye Zen suspiciously like “what you’ve been telling him?”
“Oh, okay… well, so let’s find some cartoons for you to watch, you know, things APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN” you emphasize looking at Zen with a reprimanding glare. SHIT!
He watches as the boy grins mischievously before holding your hand. Hum… he underestimated his rival, didn’t he?
Yoosung
His heart skips a beat when he sees how much this boy seems to like you.
 In his mind, it’s a sign that one day your children with him will be very loved by a wonderful mother…
Ahh, this little boy clearly loves you by the way he keeps showering you with draws he made and smiling widely everytime you praise him and pat his head.
Your cousin is adorable, he is very cute and… wait, did he just stick his tongue out to Yoosung? Oh… he thought he was a polite kid…
 Then it clicks. Yes, Yoosung has learned how to detect people having crushes on you, and this boy… shows all the signs.
Because the signs are pretty much the same he used to show when he started falling for you LOL
Well, of course he won’t get mad at your cousin, it’s just a little boy having a crush… right?
Right! So he’ll be the big mature and cool man he is and talk to the little fella when he finds himself alone with him.
 “Oh, you’re drawing for MC again? That’s pretty! You could try to draw a puppy, MC likes puppies!” “I know everything she likes.” The boy says coldly. Ouch!
Okay, now he’s feeling defied! “Yes… MC likes cute things, and guess what? I’m the cutest.” Yoosung gets up and walks in your direction, hugging you and looking at the boy.
Being mature and cool? Yeah, he failed. But it’s on! And he’ll show this boy that nobody messes with jealous Yoosung.
Jaehee
She’s surprised when you guys get to your family’s house and there’s this little boy who’ll grab you hand and won’t let go for nothing
And it’s very cute, this little boy clearly adores you!
As for her, well… he doesn’t seem very interested in talking to her. Matter of fact, it seems like he’s ignoring her. Hum…
Well, alright… she knows she doesn’t look very… children friendly at first, but she wants to!
Especially if it is to a boy you like so much!
So she’ll try to get close to him, joining you and him when you guys are playing, but the boy still doesn’t seem interested in getting close to her.
And bless her heart, she’s doing her best! But there is no response… okay… so maybe it’s time to bring the big guns… “Do you want to see some judo movements?”
Yes, that will definitely work! All boys love this badass stuff!  Oh, but he doesn’t seem that interested, except when you smile and tell him it’s a good idea and that she’s a great teacher.
His attitude changes immediately. “Yes! I should learn if you think it’s cool, noona!”
Wait a minute…  is this boy… does he… have a crush on you? Oooooohhh
 “Wow noona, you’re really slow… you need to catch things more quickly or I’ll steal her from you.” Okay… should her crush this boy’s hopes and let him know that even if she’s slow, he still has no chance?
Jumin
He’s a little surprised when this boy shows up and immediately drives all of your attention to himself
 He doesn’t want to interfere because it’s you spending time with your family and that’s important
Though he has the feeling this boy just glared at him. Is he imagining things?
Hmmm… no, he’s not. The boy just stuck his tongue out to him. Did he do something that didn’t please this child?
So now it’s his priority to know what happened and get close to your cousin, he would hate the idea that he did something that bothered someone from your family.
But the boy isn’t very keen to respond his attempts, only showing enthusiasm with you.
Is it because he’s intimidating? But… he tends to be good with children, it’s something you told him yourself once…
“Why do you keep treating me like a kid? I’m your rival!” “Beg your pardon?”
“I’m your rival, we’re competing for MC’s love.” Ahh, so that’s what this is about… Jumin finds amusing that this kid actually thinks he knows what love is.
But he should cut the boy’s hopes off now. He’s young, he shouldn’t be hanging on a crush for someone that not only is older, but also will never correspond in the way he expects. So he talks to the boy in the most patient way, and he seems to understand.
 “But I have my eye on you, if you hurt her, we’ll have a little talk, sir.” Though he would love to know how would this talk be, Jumin keeps a straight face “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her.”
Saeyoung
He’s almost jealous that the kid immediately goes to you when you arrive. He’s great with children!
 But as he sees the boy finding his way to your lap, doing adorable things for you to laugh, he gets it…
And now it’s pretty obvious why this kid didn’t want to get close with him, since he basically stole the love of his life hahaha
And he won’t do anything, just watching this kid doing everything he can to be noticed while you seem pretty oblivious and just think he’s a cute boy
He feels like telling you just to see your reaction, but that would just ruin the fun…
“Hey kiddo, don’t you know MC loooooves cats? You should act like a cat, she’ll think it’s cute…”
That poor thing will meow for you, and you’ll laugh, of course. And your laughing makes Saeyoung laugh.
 He suggests that the kid should serenade you and almost bursts out in laugh whn the boy grabs a little guitar and starts singing.
“You’re being very cute today, but where do these ideas come from?” you ask your cousin curiously.
“Your boyfriend taught me, noona.” SHIT! He wasn’t supposed to say that! You immediately glare at him for manipulating the poor boy like that…
 You take the boy in your arms and tell him it was very cute, but now he should rest a little. Saeyoung watches as your cousin does a victory sign with his hands. Oh… it’s on!
Jihyun
He smiles widely when you’re dragged by you little cousin to play with him
It’s definitely a beautiful scene that makes him feel warm and imagine how it will be when you guys start your own family
Hopefully, your kid will be as sweet and polite as this little guy, who seems to respect you and almost adore you.
No, not almost, he really adores you… and well, that’s no surprise for him considering how adorable you are.
And this probably runs in the family genes because this kid is adorable too!
So he makes sure to be nice so the kid will be friends with him too.
“You’re a very smart young man, do you know that?” “I do.” Whoa, sharp!
“Oh… good! So tell me, what school grade are you on?” “Don’t try to be nice with me, grandpa! It won’t work!”
“I’m… sorry?” “Don’t pretend you’re all nice, I’m not dumb! Tsk… I can’t believe MC would like someone like you when… there’s me…” Wait, what? This kid… has a crush on you?
“Honestly, sometimes I don’t believe it either…  but I like her too, if that’s what you’re worried about…” he chuckles nervously, clearing his throat when you show up.
“Oh, there you are, my love!” he hugs you and kiss your cheek while looking at the kid shooting daggers with his eyes. Yep, grandpa still got it.
Saeran
He’s a little nervous to meet your family, so he follows you around you everywhere, just like this cousin boy of yours
And he can tell the kid doesn’t like his presence, that doesn’t surprise him at all, but still… the way he stares at him is uncomfortable.
He is not used to having kids around, so he’s not sure, maybe all kids are like this?
No, but there’s something different, he’d seen this look on this boy’s face before, he’s… in love with you.
Well, this is very weir, you’re older, you’re his relative and… well, you would never like a kid back, so this boy doesn’t stand a chance, that’s pretty obvious
But it still bothers him that despite knowing all that, he’s still jealous of the attention you’re giving to this child
So before talking to you about it, he decides to talk to the boy, show him that there’s nothing to fear. THERE’S NOTHING TO FEAR, OKAY?
“When did you start having a crush on her?” “A few months ago when she took me to the zoo and gave me her cotton candy because mine fell on the ground.”
“Ah yes, she’s very nice.” “Yes, and very pretty…” “Pretty? She’s gorgeous, haven’t you seen the way she smiles?”
And they keep bonding by sharing all the things they like about you, and yes…he totally gets why this boy has a crush on you. He feels bad that the kid will never have a chance.
“We should go to the zoo one of these days and bring that cousin of yours.” He comments when you guys are home.
