My Fallout show "hot take" is that it is just as fandom brained to force a "father-daughter" relationship onto the Ghoul and Lucy as it is to ship them.

in both cases you are boxing a very interesting pair of characters into predetermined fandom tropes. You are not better because your box doesn't have them fuck nasty!

Dont get me wrong, go off! Enjoy it as a father-daughter duo! But do not be rude towards people who see two adult characters with a messy dynamic and ship them.

At the end of the day, theres very little in the actual text to imply either right now. Hell, I just saw two posts, back to back, describe the same scene in the exact same way up until the final paragraph, where one said "And thats why he's her dad!" and the other said "And thats why they're in love!".

Don't be an asshole and don't couch personal dislike in faux moralising. We are talking about a woman who casually fucked hooked-up with her cousin and a 200 year old zombie vagabond. Its not that deep.

#like i dont ship them! i see it but i dont ship then personally!#but this faux moralistic 'but theyre father & daughter 🤢🤮' shit rings incredibly hollow. just block tags and dont attack people #imo theres more interactions that read as shipping fodder than there are 'father-daughter' moments (mostly cause lucy is a grown ass woman)#but id argue thats mostly because both are very hot ADULT characters with good screen chemistry rather than any actual written intent #like be fr besties be so frrrr right now #fallout #fallout prime #lucy maclean #cooper howard #fandom shipping shit #hope i dont regret writing this its just been buggin me #fallout series #fallout show #fallout tv
