POV - you're Iggy, a 24 foot all junk giant who has befriended a 6 inch tall borrower teen named Ozzy. You lost your earpiece, so you're trying to communicate with Ozzy while you search for it in the best way you know how. Ozzy is trying to be patient, but they're not a fan of being held up like this.
Iggy and Ozzy (c) Kelly Seitz, from the story Stowaway

Junker Queen/ Odessa 'Dez' Stone.
first time writing here haha, kinda random cause it's late :/
You play 'Junker Queen Origin' with your band. Not noticing the Queen of Junkertown, wondering towards the music.
"One! Two! Three! Four!" The taps of drumsticks echo, you shout.
The sound of a beach vibe rock song started playing. As you sung the lyrics your band came up with for the new-ish Junker Queen.
You don't notice as you bob your head to the music, eyes closed.
"Rose above her station, and born to command!" The next line. People in the crowd yelled and whooped loudly, singing along with you.
The Junker Queen herself finds herself roaming towards the crowd and music. Finding a way to clear her mind.
She didn't expect to hear a song about herself on the walk.
Curious on the cheering, and loud music, Odessa peeking her head in. Smirking at the singer on stage, dressed up like Odessa herself.
"Hunts the Feral Omnics, and wrecks them like a train!" They sung loudly, eyes closed. Aggressively shaking their head to the music, the next line startled the Queen, just a little.
"This is the legend of the Junker Queen!" A small growl mixed with the small shock that it was a song about herself, Odessa felt a shiver run down her spine. She clenched her knife at her side.
Tilting her head, she stayed for the rest of the song, not noticing she was tapping her feet and bobbing her head until the last lines of the song.
The growly tone of the singer changed into a confident, and snarky talk.
"Well I know sacrifice, and I know pain. Omnics, Mutants, Raiders, Many I've slain"
The slight drawl of the 'i've' made Odessa smile, it's something she does without noticing.
Again something she didn't expect, was her classic line of one of her moves,
"There will be a Reckoning!"
Odessa stood there leaning against the door, clapping along with the crowd. The band having a moment to set up for another song.
Trying to stop your curiosity, you sense a pair of eyes on you. But not the normal kind, the kind that makes your heart pump, with fear? With arousal? With anger?
You turn to where you feel the gaze, choking on air, as you see Odessa fucking Stone. The Junker Queen.
You panicked, there was a reason you played far away from where her home was. Her normal playground she wondered, she wasn't meant to be this far out.
You meet eyes with Junker Queen, her smirk and a look up and down, makes you shy of how you're dressed.
A poor copycat, trying to be someone who you could never be. Is what you imagine she is saying.
Turning away, you prepare for the next song, as Odessa turns away. Humming a tune that will be stuck in her head for days.
Please be nice about my writing. This was all from the top of my head :)
It's also two in the morning

Ever think about the fatphobia and ableism of Gizmo from Fallout 1's characterisation? I have and I feel the need to say something on the matter because I've never seen anyone point it out and it is very in-your-face (I also get slightly derailed talking about Junktown's endings, but it's tangentially connected).
So, Gizmo. He's an example of some of the oldest of stereotypes about fat people. Lazy, greedy, slobbish. To illustrait my point here's a line given about Gizmo to the question 'Does he have any weaknesses?' that I think is telling of the writing's attitude towards him.
'Only that he thinks he doesn't have any. Well, that and he's a fat slob, who can't move for a damn. He's got to have his guards help him move around. Even then, they gotta use a little tricycle. Heh heh.'
Sinthia, who says this, does have good reason to dislike Gizmo (him taking 25% of her earnings and all), but it's an almost entirely unprompted statement. I very much suspect that 'Heh heh.' is how the writer of that line felt about writing that line basically saying "Hey, ain't it funny that this big man cannot physically walk to bed and needs assistance?".
And, of course, Gizmo is the only fat person in Fallout 1 and one of the only people in any Fallout game who explicitly cannot walk.
Very decidedly Not Great, all of that. Not unsurprising, of course, it's a very textbook example of this kinda thing, but still acknowledgement of flaws and bias is important if one wants to appreciate art.
I also might as well get into the fact Junktown's endings used to be far grayer. The conventionally attractive Killian Darkwater's sense of 'frontier justice' keeping Junktown small due to his 'rigid sensibilities'. if you side with this cop. Even in the final game there's certain undertones to Killian and his ending and some dialogue. Going back to Sinthia she says "Killian sure as hell wouldn't put up with me or my kind." (that being sex workers). And the cannon ending slide sure enough says "Killian Darkwater takes firm control of Junktown, drives out the last of Gizmo's kind, and then enforces his own brand of frontier justice. Life is fair and safe under his law." the last of Gizmo's kind a choice of words that. It says 'Life is fair and safe under his law.', but... wonder what happened to Sinthia. I fear she wouldn't be 'under his law'.
So, they changed the Junktown endings and why? Well, one side they have a stereotype that's very conventionally a 'villian' and they go out of their way to make him very villianous. Then they have an attractive policeman who seems 'fair' and 'righteous', I mean, the man hears the assassin Kenji say 'Gizmo sends his regards' and doesn't go after him right away, wanting a confession to the crime first through a bug or wiretap, don't think about why he has those. He's using them for 'good' and look how ""ugly"" the guy he's against is.
They could've made a point there, at least, but the message has to be read between the lines and I'm pretty sure most people who've ever played Fallout 1 only see a "handsome" Mayor and an "ugly" crime boss. They could've shown the dangers of trusting someone like Killian with absolute power, but... they decided that was 'unsatisfying'. Which has, ironically, left me unsatisfied.
To add one last insult to the injury, even when you side with Gizmo he dies in his ending. "... he chokes to death while eating some iguana-on-a-stick.". He dies while eating. What a place to end the Junktown conflict.

i think noel ends up developing this fear of being around people that eventually leads him to go off into the desert in his 60s and let what happens happen because its like. okay he got chosen to leave vault 13 which was bad for him at the time but ended up being good overall because the unity threat was curbed. he was too broke to send water to his struggling vault but as a result 13 was kept off the map. tycho died but as a result noel and the others were able to face the master.
he comes to believe he’s some sort of bad luck charm because what if this weird force that seems to follow him decides that those around him should die to feed the “greater good”? it’s going fine after he’s exiled, but how long will that last? it’s sort of a constant worry for him and eventually he just can’t take it anymore, so in his later years, despite having a family and a community, he ends up isolating himself once again
#noelposting#he takes tychos death soooo hard#i think a lot about ian and katja and noel going to drink at junktown in his memory. pouring one out. and then going their separate ways#right before noel heads back to 13 a lotttt#havent decided if they ever meet up in the future but i think itd be sawesome if noels granddaughter met one of em

Can we learn more about Iggy? Does he end up befriending smols and tols? What's his favorite way to hold a smol? Does he like to snuggle, etc?
I would love to tell you more about Iggy! I'm hoping to eventually post his and Ozzy's story, it's currently sitting in my google drive at 50 pages long while I search for the inspo to finish and edit. Maybe this will help inspire me!
Iggy is a bit of a recovering shut-in, he has some pretty severe PTSD after a shipwreck that's been unaddressed, and seizing control of his life until just recently in his story. He's seeing a human-sized robot doctor about it and making strides, but he still has hard days. Sometimes he just stays in bed and Ozzy will come keep him company, drawing him pictures or playing word games and whatnot. (here's a cute sketch of that I haven't gotten around to finishing yet)
He is starting to get out though. He's friends with the Featherson brothers Gianni and Celio, some more giants from the JunkTown universe. Ozzy is the first small folk he's actually managed to meet officially, but he does meet and befriend more!
His favorite way to hold small folk is to basically become furniture. He is terrified of hurting anyone and has utmost respect for smaller folk, so he'll always put out a hand or allow them mobility to be where they want to be, trying not to grab hold or restrict them in any way unless it's an emergency or he doesn't know a better way. He likes it when Ozzy rides around in his chest pocket or on his shoulder because it makes him feel trusted.
Iggy loves being hugged and interacted with, and would gladly snuggle up or be a warm spot for small folk. Junk giants like him have a higher body temperature than humans and small folk, and he's used that to help ease Ozzy's chronic pain. He knows Ozzy doesn't usually appreciate touch though because of their fibro, and considers it a big honor when Ozzy occasionally falls asleep in his hand or tucked in his collar when they're having bad pain days.
In the earlier days of his recovery you'll find Iggy at home much of the time, so he does ham radio, with Ozzy after they become comfortable with one another. He goes by "Southern Charm" before he's ready to give new folk his name. Prior to the shipwreck he was very social. He makes up for his lack of smarts with his kindness, charm, and genuine interest in the endeavors of others that make him a hoot to be around. He loves music and collects it to broadcast to the local JunkTown area, and thinks it's a joy to sing and dance with folk.
Here's his (still very much WIP) spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6NziEitKBoFDeAPVMMTgLw?si=158b8ac140ff403d
