Fallout Series Thoughts and Reflection

"Everyone wants to save the world. They just...disagree on how." Maximus

It's one day until one month since this amazing series was released and I have a lot to talk about Fallout!

A Vault Dweller (Lucy MacLean), a Brotherhood Squire (Maximus), a Ghoul Bounty Hunter (Once a human called Cooper Howard)...and a dog (Dogmeat) travel the Wasteland in pursuit of their goals. In doing so, all four will change the Wasteland for better or worse, and discover more sinister secrets. And as Siggi Wilzig, an Enclave defector, asks Lucy in their first encounter,

"Question is will you still want the same things......when you have become a different animal altogether." Siggi Wilzig

The opening (The End) was perfect. The tension reminds me a lot of TLOU’s opening. We look into the eternal 50s culture United States in the 2070s. Cooper's reaction to the first bomb dropping is just acting perfectly. He at first tries to assure his daughter, Janey, that it's just a fire...only to see the smoke turn into a mushroom cloud. His reaction then just turns into one of pure horror that conveys how this is the end of society. That shot of him and Janey looking at the mushroom cloud and the ignorant American families watching TV says everything. As the rich family hides out in their bunker (the father punching his friend which is a foreshadowing moment of humanity's desperation for self-preservation), we see Cooper and Janey ride on their horse as Lose Angelos is bombarded with the title card popping up (Each episode has a unique variation of the title card based on what's going on).

The show captures the dark comedy and the satire of 50s America, Capitalism, and the Cold War. When Wilzig talked about how the cyanide pill (which tasted like bananas too!) was the most humane product Vault-Tec ever made (it really is), that was Fallout humor alright. We even have a pre-war bit where Sebastion Lesie sold his vocal rights to RobCo for their Mr. Handy bots for around $186 (I know it could be 186 thousand but I love the possibility he only got literally 186 dollars). Another is when the "execution" of Lucy by the inhabitants of Vault 4 which was very elaborate to set up death by beheading... turns out out to be death to the surface (as the Overseer is trying horribly to cut off the rope). A funny meta joke is how the teaser joker poked about Amazon Prime being the company with 2-day shipping in the teaser trailer. Then the show was released 2 days earlier than its stated release date (The show came out on April 10th, 6 PM PST when its original release date was April 12th).

"The future, my friend, is products. You're a product. I'm a product. The end of the world is a product." Sebastian Leslie

The attention to detail in this show is also amazing. In the first episode, the radio mentions the President not present at the White House. That follows the lore of the President moving to the Poseidon Oil Rig. I also love how in Episode 2, Maximus mentions Tidus' Power Armor having Tempered Lining and Lucy brought it up too in Episode 5. In Episode 8, The Ghoul mentioned the weakness of the Power Armor suit just below the chestplate. It further explains why Maximus didn't die to the Ghoul since the Ghoul was trying to aim for that but due to that modification, Maximus was able to survive. They also brought back the hacking mini-game when Norman was hacking into the Overseer's computer.

There's also the question of how to rebuild humanity. Each faction (Vault-Tec, NCR, BoS, Enclave) has its own vision for the Wasteland. Maximus perfectly described the setting perfectly well in his quote at the top.

Lucy’s (Positive Karma) naivety and optimism really show her as the heart of our main trio. Even by the end where she gained a lot of cynicism, it’s still her underneath it. I also appreciate her character so much when she doesn’t follow the “character’s bond with another is broken because they lied” trope. I like how the folks of the Wasteland can't stand Vault Dwellers because of their nativity, self-centered attitude, and how it was really for the rich and privileged who could afford to go to a Vault. However, she proves herself to be an earnest character who truly wants to make the Wasteland a better place, and adapts to survive... but doesn't lose sight of who she is unlike the Ghoul. I cannot wait to see how S2 takes her character. Her relationship with Maximus is also pretty sweet as they both help each other out and bring out the best in each other.

"I just doused an innocent man's face with acid, and I've only been up here two weeks. The wasteland sucks." Lucy MacLean

Maximus’ (Neutral Karma) character development was nice to see. He still has a long way to go but he’s starting to understand what being a “hero” is about rather than just having physical power. A hero knows to sacrifice your desires (The Power Armor) to help others (giving back the fusion core). He wants a life beyond the Brotherhood and is clearly disillusioned with the organization. When his friend thought he killed Moldaver and declared him a Knight, his face tells another story of how he felt about this.

The Ghoul (Evil Karma) may have been a cruel bounty hunter who believes in the worst of the Wasteland...but there are moments of his former self still inside. His taking a liking to Wilzig's dog (whom he eventually named Dogmeat) and granting his Ghoul friend Roger a mercy kill reveals there might be hope for him yet. His former self, Cooper Howard. is nothing like his current self. I love how the show made it clear he was once this human who couldn't initially bring himself to kill someone... even if it was for a movie! Even when he tries to initially deny the evils of Vault-Tec and buys into American Cold War propaganda, it's clear he still values his friends (even if they're supposedly "Communists") and eventually starts to really question what the hell is going on.

"I'm not a Communist, Mr. Howard. That's just a dirty word they use to describe people who aren't insane." Lee Moldaver

The reveal that Vault-Tec was responsible for dropping the first bomb (or at the very least planned to do so) was genuinely one of the most shocking bombshell reveals ever. You feel the nervous breakdown of Howard Cooper as he’s trying to process his own wife advocating this insane genocidal plan. I wonder if the shadow figure overseeing the meeting of the corporations is from the Enclave. I also really love the detail that Mr. House is the only one questioning the logistics and the proposal (Daily note that Mr. House is just as bad as everyone in this room, it's just that he sees less value in causing the end of the world). It shows why he decided to go against this insane conspiracy plan as we see the fruits of his preparations in New Vegas. I also love seeing Frederick Sinclair (Also New Vegas), the owner of the Sierra Madre Casino, Leon Von Felden (Fallout 1), the mad scientist behind the FEV and the Mariposa Military base, and Julia Masters, the chief financial officer of REPCONN Aerospace who sold out the company to RobCo.

"It's a fun idea. There's a lot of earning potential with the end of the world. But we're talking about making a significant investment based on a hypothetical. How can you guarantee results?" Robert House

"By dropping the bomb ourselves." Barbara Howard

Moldaver is no saint (she did let raiders massacre Vault 33 and almost killed Lucy, her friend's daughter), and it shows how far the NCR has sunken to achieve its aims. However, a lot of her actions are based on the horrors and crimes against humanity she witnessed. She wanted to rectify them and give the Wasteland hope, no matter the cost. She had seen her failures to stop the old world from being destroyed, and she would not stop until she could make the Wasteland better, even if that meant the NCR not living to see that better world.

Lucy's quest to rescue her father is like a twisted Fallout 3 narrative where the Lone Wanderer's quest was to find their father. But instead of her father being a scientist who wants to further heal the Wasteland, her father is responsible for destroying one of the most developed nations post-war because they weren't Vault-Tec. It's also implied it might've been out of jealousy since the show hints that Moldaver and Rose MacLean were more than just friends.

The collapse of the NCR was something I knew would happen based on the state of it in NV, but the final nail in the coffin being at the hands of Vault-Tec was something I did not see coming. I love that the last action of the NCR Remnant was to restore Shady Sands's power with the cold-fusion reactor. Even when the NCR is gone, whatever arises from the NCR will not only do the job better but now benefit from infinite energy. This is in comparison to the US government whose last action was to nuke the world and for the Enclave, leave the American populace to die.

The West Coast of the Brotherhood took advantage of the NCR's collapse to reestablish itself and with the help of the East Coast's BoS, they're now the largest military presence in California. The final battle between them and the NCR Remnant is a mirror foil to an event mentioned in New Vegas with the Helios Power Plant. We see how Maximus grows disillusioned with how far the organization has fallen and its own Knights not being the heroes he looked up to, even his superior agrees about how the Brotherhood is not what it once was.

Vaults 31-33 may not have an extreme experiment as the other Vaults and in this case, Vault 4, but the experiment is still horrifying. Vault 32-33 are meant to be breeding pools for Vault 31, full of Vault-Tec personnel in cryogenic pods (which I think is how maybe Lee Moldaver survived), to create the "best" Vault-Tec personnel. Vault 4 is a vault where scientists govern the people...which went as well as you might expect (The experiments going berserk and the Vault Dwellers revolting). I also love how the Gulper we saw in Episode 4 is one of Vault 4's experiments (also explaining the human-like finders inside its mouth) and who also ate the Overseer. I wonder what Norman will do given how Bud puts in him a seemingly impossible situation.

Then there's the Enclave and the pre-war Corporations. The Enclave really only shows up for a flashback sequence for Wilzig but, interestingly, the show glosses over them. What interests me the most is that Wilzig knows about the Vaults 31-33 experiment and Lucy's full name. Obviously, the Enclave still has observations of the Vaults, but as I mentioned before, that shadow figure observing the corporate meeting might be them. Speaking of the Corporations, we see the results of unchecked Capitalism with no regulations in this franchise and this show. We see the insane troll logic that these mega corporations will win the "great game of capitalism" by outliving everyone. Mega corporations have no logic other than their insane troll logic that what matters is they survive regardless of who suffers or dies in the name of profits.

"So, the U.S. government has outsourced the survival of the human race to Vault-Tec. Vault-Tec is a private corporation that has a fiduciary responsibility to make money for its investors. And how does it make money? By selling vaults... The cattle ranchers are in charge, Coop." Charlie Whiteknife.

You can tell how much Nolan and his team love Fallout by the work they put into this show. They did such an amazing job that Tim Cain, one of the OG creators of Fallout, praised the hell out of this show for bringing Fallout to life. I cannot wait to see what S2 will bring us.

"War never changes." Barbara Howard and The Ghoul

Some lore rambling. I copied this from my twitter thread so the continuity might be a bit weird pspsps:

This is mainly going to be about Noelle and Caiden's story which is kinda like a prequel to Fallout New Vegas, spaning around 2278-2282 I'll try to stick to the details that are already confirmed but some pieces might still shift.

It was inspired by (aka rewritten from) one of her old alt routes where she went AWOL and became a fugitive. Both Noelle and Caiden started out as NCR soldiers from different units Noelle was a First Recon sergeant and a famous war hero who was used as a political puppet.

Meanwhile Caiden was part of the NCR black op unit, which is a headcanon detail we added. They utilize a lot of stealth gear including salvaged stealth boys and Hei Gui stealth armors. An internal party attempted to assassinate Noelle and Caiden who had been on edge with his superior for a while betrayed his unit and helped her escape. However her "death" was still made public as a propaganda move. Her memorial can be found around the NCR camps.

Most people believed Noelle actually died, including Manny and Boone who were her closest friends at the time. She couldn't contact them because there were influential folks in the NCR still actively hunting for her and Caiden.

o support themselves while keeping their low profile, the duo started working with a merc company at an HQ located not far from Freeside gate. If you remember the Colleague OCs from last timeline, they are the proprietor of this establishment.

Noelle and Caiden's main goal is to clear their names while trying to decide what they want to do with their lives, and over time they just became inseparable. The story still has some serious part but since it spans over a few years there are also a lot of relaxed time.

I still wanna make comic for this one but I'm planning to do more like separated one-shots or miniseries from different points of their journey, as well as our usual silly skits. ♡

Going back to Manny and Boone a bit. The three were best friends back in the service and also part of the same team and will meet again later by chance in Novac around 2280. I love this trio so much. I really want to draw them again both in wholesome and angst moments.

Like other worlds, in Fallout Caiden and Claire are also half-siblings. They share the same mother. Claire was experimented on which resulted in her mutation. She later teamed up with Quantum and their adventure circulates around the east coast. But that's for another time.

I'm still working on a proper introduction for the Fallout version of my OCs. This is more like a rambling thread lol. Still thank you everyone for reading! I'll be going back to work now. 🫡

Refs for the power couple of the Mojave. 😳

(Heres what it all says if its a lil hard to read!)

Harper Virgil Navarro-Garland ( he/him, 24, gay, intersex, transmasc )

Tagged Skills: Science, Medicine, Repair

- His moms, Catherine and Janae, raised him in vault 101 with his much older half-brother, Dante. His moms were friends with James, the Lone Wanderer’s father, so he grew up with the LW.

> He was childhood friends with Amata and Lucas.

> Had a romantic interest for Lucas.

> He was bullied by Scarecrow (LW) and Butch Deloria, however they are friends by the time they arrive in the Mojave.

- Became a BOS scribe, while Dante became a Knight- these titles were short lived considering they both abandoned the BOS.

- Janae and James both died during the Enclave attack on the Jefferson Memorial, Janae’s body being found in a sewer system that she tried to escape through- however her injuries were fatal.

- Generally speaking, project purity was successful with the efforts of Scarecrow, Lucas, and Harper. Collectively they did things that helped DC, however the general trust they had for the Brotherhood of Steel was very slim by the end of the main events of F3(post Broken Steel), which is why they were pretty quick to leave DC with The League.

- Before travelling to the Mojave, he and his family were apart of a group that helped The League out in Chicago to prevent the Brotherhood of Steel from taking over. (2278-2279)

> This group that came from DC consisted of him, Dante, Catherine, Scarecrow, Butch, Lucas, and Charon. They were all brought to Chicago by Tashaun Bruce via vertibird.

> At this point Harper and Charon are in a romantic relationship, which ends once they start their journey to the Mojave in 2280. It made the journey a little awkward but, they remained civil and friendly!

- His group, after a few stops for maintenance and refueling, landed safely near Northside. Tashaun drops them off and bids farewell, and they all stay in Westside for awhile. Charon left first to find work as a mercenary or as a caravan guard. Meanwhile, Harper’s family and Lucas were advised to go to Freeside by Tom Anderson, who asked them to take their skills there so that they could assist the Followers and New Vegas in general.(2280)

> Around this time is when Harper meets Soda-Pop, Kara Roths, Julie Farkas, and Arcade Gannon.

> Became work partners with Julie and Arcade, but worked mainly as a field doctor and representative of the FotA who travelled with Kara and Soda.

- In the beginning of year 2280, Harper and Soda start an on again off again romance for awhile until officially being together. However, Harper fell deeper into his addiction to Med-x, which caused him to be absent in the relationship- and that led to him taking a step back and breaking it off with Soda.

> Harper had this addiction from 2277 to mid 2281.

> Harper becomes friends with Sarsaparilla and Jasper Steele around this time.

> Around mid 2280, he chose to try and focus more on his work as a researcher and doctor… which caused him and Arcade to begin a romantic relationship. They had been friends for awhile, however upon spending more time with eachother they caught more intimate feelings.

- In early 2281, Harper, Julie, and others led the beginning of the independence against the main heads of the Mojave. The Followers of the Apocalypse became a beacon of hope, taking in people from various factions- as refugees or as helpers.

> As tensions got higher between the independence and the ncr/legion/house, things got progressively more dangerous. Because of this, one day while scouting with Jasper and Sarsaparilla, a legionary saw the trio, and shot Harper’s left eye- aiming for the brain, but luckily missed.

Factions/settlements recruited by/protected by the FotA for the independence: Jacobstown, The Great Khans, Novac, Freeside, The Kings, Enclave Remnants, The Boomers.

- Has three kids— Catherine (2282, born soon after the 2nd battle of Hoover), Marlyn (2285), Miguel (2287). He has Catherine with Arcade, Marlyn with Soda-Pop, and Miguel with Cora. They’re all poly/were in a polycule after the Independence won.

- Loves to draw, doodle, and create little statues out of metal scraps and clay.

Arcade Israel Gannon ( he/they, 35, gay, intersex )

Tagged skills: Science, Medicine, Energy Weapons

Canon information: Arcade Gannon is apart of the Followers of the Apocalypse at the Old Mormon Fort. He is a doctor of medicine and got most if not all of his training from the Followers. In 2281, He works mainly as a botanical researcher, due to not being- in his words- a “people person”. They are a man led by their firm moral beliefs, supporting an independent Vegas and individual freedoms. He puts himself down a lot, however they are not only witty, but fairly charming.

Background + headcannons:

- Was born at the Navarro base in 2246 to Mark and Nancy Gannon.

> Mark was an Enclave officer, and Nancy was a vertibird mechanic.

> Both of Arcade’s parents worked at the Navarro military base around the same time that Catherine did when she was younger. They worked in very different sections, but did know of one another.

> His mother died pretty recently, probably a few years before the events of fnv, mainly due to health complications.

- Arcade spent a lot of their teenage years in The boneyard, that being where he got their medical knowledge. When the brotherhood and NCR started cracking down on weeding out former Enclave personel, him, his mom, and the enclave platoon he called family moved progressively closer to the New Vegas area to avoid prosecution. (Probably left the Boneyard when he was 18.)

> Had a few boyfriends growing up, however they never let them get too close, because of being the son of an Enclave officer- and also given him and their family’s inability to settle given the actions of the BOS and NCR. This defensive emotional wall persisted into his young adult and adult relationships.

> They feel extreme guilt over being related to a man who was apart of a fascist paramilitary organization, hiding it from anyone and everyone for a long time. Harper was the first person he tells in detail about his situation, Harp was accepting- considering Catherine was a doctor and scientist for the enclave when she was 18.

- Has been working and living in the Mojave since 2277, and has been a Follower since 2278.

- Arcade has several journals filled with neat, organized notes. He also has a few that are full of various poems, being his main way of venting out a lot of his thoughts.

> In his scientific research he includes small, simple doodles of various plants that he studies.

- When Arcade met Harper, he felt extremely silly- falling head over heels for the fellow doctor… however he kept his distance, out of fear and considering that they didnt work much together when Harper first joined the Followers. When the working situation changed, Arcade managed to charm Harper with witty comments about pre war literature and science jokes- granted he was extremely awkward at first, Harper always thought it was very cute.

- Fights with the enclave remnants in his father’s old gear during the second battle of Hoover Dam, proud of himself for gaining the confidence to do the right thing in his father’s memory. After the battle at Hoover Dam, and becoming a father, he shifts from being a researcher to being a doctor- wanting to help more directly.

Anyways yeah… 😳👉👈 my scrimblos that I love so very much… thank you JE Sawyer for creating Arcade Gannon.

SCHOOL UNITY : NRC vs RSA - Part II

Pairings: Octatrio/Prefect Romantic Poly, NRC/Prefect, Rielle/Prefect one-sided, Neige/Prefect one-sided

The Prefect was exhausted by the time the festival finally arrived but they were proud to admit that they felt like they had done a rather good job at taking care of things. Being the manager for the VDC had at least given them some experience in paperwork and how to juggle multiple aspects of a project at the same time. Notes were an absolute requirement and they pretty much didn’t go anywhere anymore without a detailed planner that had an entire section just for notes in it that was now almost filled up.

Jade had been the one to gift it to them and they were endlessly thankful for it. It also helped ease their concern a bit when the planning seemed to be getting even to Azul as their lover was more clingy the fewer times they could meet up with them and he kept pampering them with gifts.

They tried to figure out if there was something wrong but the twins would just snicker and Azul would blush darkly and refuse to answer.

They finally chocked it all up to being a coping mechanism for stress and only refused the gifts when they started to get too stupidly expensive for them to feel comfortable with. They had to cuddle Azul twice as much those time as the poor octomer would wilt and look ready to cry, but really!?

What would they do with an outfit beaded completely with pearls!? THE ENTIRE THING! It weighed a ton!

It had made them almost nauseous thinking of how stressful it would be to have such an expensive set of clothing – that they were sure even Vil would have appreciated – sitting in their decrepit closet where it would probably get mold damage or stolen!

Azul have some restraint please!

Their lover’s dramatics aside, things had gone decently well.

Grim had helped as much as his attention span would allow – mostly they kept him busy with running errands or hanging out with the other first years – and surprisingly Crowley hadn’t been completely useless.

Their tea times had become an every day thing and while the Headmage would ramble off sometimes into completely different subjects, or complaining about his rival Headmage Ambrose the 63rd, he was actually knowledgeable about how best to organize and get things done.

They did point out to him rather annoyed that it proved he was fully capable of doing his own job, but the fae just ignored the comments and continued on with his cackled laughs and wild motions.

When they couldn’t spend time with their lovers they would even get to work in Crewel’s office as the professor would always have really expensive looking snacks for them and would even go out of his way to walk them back to Ramshackle if they stayed too late.

It was hectic and while they did miss spending more time with the trio, it wasn’t awful, and they didn’t feel like they were having to do it all alone despite what they had told the octomer.

Which was a nice surprise and relief, honestly.

So, when the first day of the festival finally came and they were waiting at the gates of NCR wearing their ceremonial robes and an hour of Jade’s makeup and hair skills, they didn’t really feel nervous.

Grim had been warned/bribed handsomely to be on his best behaviour and was sitting in their arms whispering insults and gossip about the Headmage beside them behind his paw while the fae – who could absolutely hear him – grit his teeth and held himself back from skinning their partner.

Grim was getting better at this, too, apparently picking up some tips from Jade.

“It’s a good thing we’re here.” He ‘whispered’ conspiratorially to them behind his paw. “The bird would probably lose the goody-two-shoes in like, five minutes without us. He’s pretty useless, huh?”

The Prefect had to hide their face in Grim’s fur but it was impossible to mistake the shaking of their shoulders for anything but the laughter they were trying to contain.

They loved Grim.

The absolutely offended gasp from the fae almost broke them.

“How dare you! I am the Headmage and the most skilled magic user on the island! I would not lose a student!”

“You lost me at the opening ceremony.” They grinned at him teasingly. “And if you're the most powerful mage then surely you have found out a way for me to go home by now?” they said sweetly.

“My child! How could you say such things about your father!?” he gasped, bursting into theatrical tears behind his mask.

“You’re not my dad.” They answered blandly.

“Betrayed by the one I have so generously raised! My own flesh and blood!”

“I’m not even from the same dimension as you, let alone the same race or your natural spawn – thank god.”

“Oh, woe is me! How will I go on with my heart so cruelly torn asunder by the vicious words of one I hold so dear to my heart!?”

“You got my name wrong yesterday.”

“WOE!!!!!! AGONY!!!!”

That was their breaking point, the Prefect dissolved into giggles than all out laughter as the man threw himself dramatically against one of the stone pillars of the college entrance gate like he was the lead in a telenovela that had just been cheated on.

This was the scene that the Headmaster and dorm leaders of RSA happened upon when they appeared not too far from them, teleportation sigil flaring white under their feet before disappearing.

The older gentleman cleared his throat and Crowley was instantly at the Prefect’s side again as if nothing had happened, cane tight in his grip and tight smile on his lips.

“Headmaster Crowley, how wonderful to see you again.” Ambrose greeted as the Prefect tried to stifle their laughs as best they could. “And this must be the charming student representative that I’ve heard so much about!”

Crowley’s hand came to rest against their back but it was more meant to keep them in place instead of getting any closer to the guests.

“Ambrose.” He said simply with a nod as the Prefect gave a polite bow. “And, yes, this is our dear Ramshackle Prefect and their partner Grim.” He said, lightly, surprisingly adding their first name – correctly – but not sharing their family name.

“Well it is wonderful to meet you, my dear. I have heard wonderful things and I’m sure that what you have planned for my boys will be delightful.” He said happily, turning slightly to have the five Housewardens of RSA step closer.

“I believe you met Neige at the VDC,” the slender, beautiful boy with dark hair smiled brightly and waved, “This is Ellis Liddel,” A tall blonde with a dreamy expression and oversized pale blue sweater smiled, “Prince Yasmeen Al-Asim,” a beautiful, darker skinned boy who wasn’t as tall as Ellis but shared feature with Kalim, though with long, thick black hair instead, “Beau Desrosiers,” a studious looking boy with wavy brown hair, brown animal ears that were similar in shape to Leona’s but slightly more pointed with small horns in front of them, “and Prince Rielle Triton.” A brightly smiling boy with hair almost brighter than Riddle’s that was cut short in the back but had sweeping bangs and the brightest blue eyes the Prefect had ever seen.

“It’s nice to meet you.” They greeted, bowing again and prompting Grim to say so too.

“Yeah, nice to meet ya.” The monster said, though not putting much politeness in his tone.

“It’s so great to meet you as well!” the red head nearly bounced forward eagerly and snatching their hand. “Neige-kun told us all about you and I’ve been so excited to meet someone so special they were accepted into NRC even without magic!” he gushed.

“Hey, hands off my henchman, fishboy!” Grim demanded petulantly, trying to wave his paw in an attempt to fend off the boisterous redhead.

The Prefect gave a weak chuckle but did pull their hand away from the prince gently.

“It was nice to meet LeBlanche-san during the VDC. It was an…eventful night.” They agreed, nodding at the dark haired boy who lit up at their gaze on him and flashed a beautiful smile highlighted by a light flush on his cheeks.

“It was wonderful to meet you as well, Prefect-san! I'm very glad we spend time together again!” he agreed quickly, eyes sparkling.

“Delightful! I’m sure my students will have a great time under your representative’s care!” Ambrose 63rd smiled, causing Crowley’s lips to pull down just slightly.

“Yes, they are quite capable.” He said, tensing up when the other Headmaster suggested that the two of them head off and let the ‘youth’ enjoy themselves.

The Prefect was a bit surprised that Crowley seemed to be hesitating a little, his glowing gold eyes flickering down to them for a moment before his jaw twitched slightly and he plastered a large, incredibly fake smile on his lips.

“Of course, the rest of your students should be arriving shortly, yes? I will show you where the festival is set up.”

The two older men headed off, though the Prefect didn’t miss the faint pressure against their back before Crowley pulled away, almost like he wanted to just dig his claw tipped fingers into their uniform and drag them along but thought better of it and let go at the last moment.

The oddness was brushed off easily enough, though, at it being Crowley and they faced the five visiting students again.

“Is there anything in particular you wanted to do or see? I was going to show you around a bit and give you some information about the school but if you’d rather just go directly to the festival area that’s fine too.” They offered, not wanting to force the visitors on a tour if they really weren’t interested.

They would probably be bored if the visitors tried to show them around RSA, after all.

Anything would be boring after NRC.

“Oh, that sounds perfect!” Rielle said happily, clasping his hands together and leaning forward into their personal space.

The Prefect stepped back automatically but was glad when the darker skinned Prince reached out to gently tug the red head back.

“Remember what we said about personal space, Elle-kun.” He said calmly with a small, polite smile. “Sorry about that.”

The Prefect quickly waved off the worried apologies from Rielle and turned to the open gates.

“Then if you’re interested, I could start with Main Street and we can go from there.” They offered.

“Thank you, we would appreciate that.” he said.

“Could we visit the library as well?” the smaller brunette asked hopefully, his voice soft. “I’ve heard NRC’s collection is the largest in all of Twisted Wonderland.”

The Prefect’s smile warmed a bit at his obvious interest. He was rather adorable. Like a little hamster.

“Of course, I’ve already gotten permission to show you everywhere around campus that you are interested in as long as we don’t cause disruption. Some of the houses are still working on last minute preparations, after all.” They explained as they started leading them down towards the main ‘street’ area with the Seven statues and central courtyard of the school.

They began the ‘tour guide’ routine they had practiced and studied for, answering questions and trying to keep Grim from getting too worked up when Prince Rielle would eagerly snag their arm or hand.

Yasmeen would shake his head fondly and continue to try and act as wrangler for the other prince and Neige asked about how they had been since the VDC. The tallest, Ellis, followed close behind but seemed happy to take in everything around him with dreamy eyes and a random yawn here or there while Beau was the softest spoken but asked the most in depth questions about the school, themself, and Grim.

While they knew they would have to expect less personal space around a merfolk, the boys weren’t that unpleasant to be around. They were friendly and polite, never trying to push if there was a question they didn’t feel like answering, and never ignored them or talked over them like some NRC students liked to do.

Yasmeen was keen on hearing about his cousin once the Prefect admitted to knowing him, the prince's expression fond and warm. Neige and Rielle were like sparkles and sunshine personified and the Prefect felt like they were being blinded sometimes but the two were interested in anything they were willing to talk about. Beau was definitely a sweetheart - they decided within five minutes - as he quietly gushed over the history and scholarly information that they were giving out. Ellis was a bit odd but kind, whimsical in the same way that Che'nya was and the blonde admitted with a smile that the cat therianthrope was a close friend.

None of them were forceful or overbearing. They didn't tease them about not having magic. They even praised Grim for being able to go to school there as the first monster - something that Grim preened at happily and began boasting about his exploits.

Neige pulled out a package of small cookies from his pocket for the feline and Grim instantly dug in, causing them all to laugh and for the dark haired boy to giggle and simply pull out another package for them to share.

They tasted good. Maybe not up to Trey's level but still delicious.

Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad.

“What do you mean it’s ‘fine’!? Fine isn’t a descriptor! It means nothing! What were they saying!? What were they doing!? Was Prince Rielle talking with them? Did it look like they liked him!?”

“Azul, darling, you really need to relax a little and take a breath.” Jade said with a small grin as he urged more of their calming tea into their lover’s hands. “Floyd already said that everything looked like it was going smoothly. I’m sure our angelfish will be able to handle things on their own.”

“Yeah, it’s not like they’re going to leave or anything for the clownfish.” Floyd said with a shrug, hands behind his head. “He’s annoying as fuck and has fewer braincells than even Koebi-chan’s little firsty friends.”

Azul groaned, burying his hands into his pale hair and resisting the urge to yank.

“You don’t know that! You know how Rielle is! He charms everyone! And he’s a prince! Why wouldn't they want a prince!? He can-“

“Oi, if you keep saying Koebi-chan is going to drop us, I’m going to squeeze the stupid out of you.”

Jade chuckled softly, leaning down to press a kiss against Azul’s crown.

“Floyd is right. You know that they are not the kind of person to be swayed by such meaningless things. You should have faith in our angelfish.” He said soothingly, running his fingers through the wavy hair.

Azul sighed softly but sat back.

“I do. I know they’re not like that.” He admitted tiredly. “It’s just…it’s RIELLE.”

“Indeed, but you also seem to forget…it’s angelfish that he’s dealing with.”

Azul looked at the smug grin on Floyd’s face and the deviously amused smile on Jade’s and felt a bit of the anxiety in his chest begin to unravel.

“Yes, yes you’re right, of course.” He sighed, sitting up straighter and running a hand through his hair to adjust it again. “Then we will just need to ensure that we prove we are their best option. Give them no reason to want to change their mind. Make sure they know we are the ones that can love them best, can make them the happiest.”

Azul managed to write his name on a single contract before jumping to his feet.

"I should go and chec-I mean, I should find them and ask our pearl what they would like for lunch so we can have it ready for them when they arrive." he said, grabbing his hat and twirling his jacket onto his shoulders as he made his way to the door quickly, Floyd skipping after him with a gleeful smirk.

Jade chuckled into his fist.

“Of course, dear.”

========================

Hope you guys like the next chapter! <3 I kind of based my RSA OCs on amalgamations of the different versions I've seen of RSA characters online. I tried to make them a bit different but I'm also not very good at naming things so if anyone has some suggestions for House names for RSA based on Snow White (Kindness), Little Mermaid (Determination), Aladdin (Adventurous), Beauty and the Beast (Knowledge), and Alice in Wonderland (Whimsy) I would really appreciate it! <3

I was just working on characters to get back into the Fallout Universe and was searching up references for NCR uniforms for my trio when I stumbled upon your art from FNV with Hektor and the Wolfpack! I love it so much! They bring such a warm nostalgia for me with how much I love New Vegas and how often I side with the NCR! Your newer work is great too!

Thank you, anon!

I'm happy the nostalgia of my fallouting years is shared because of these works. Every once in a while I think I need to draw Hektor in his NCR outfit, as I loved it so much, but it's harder without actively roleplying. Maybe I need to play FNV again!

I finished the fallout show!! thoughts will be below, but: over all, mostly positive. A few negative things abt the overarching decisions they made for the series as a whole since its canon, but, its strong over all id say

Spoilers below the cut

THE BAD

I don't like them turning NCR into their own mini apocalypse. It feels... cheap? And like. A bummer, too. It also feeds into one of my LEAST favorite tropes w/ apocalypse based series: How they have to hit the reset button constantly rather then let groups actually settle. Walking dead did this a lot. Every season they made a clean slate and it was rly annoying for a while

I also don't like them making Vault Tec the cause of the war. It shoves the whole cold-war framing and the general sentiment of "hey the american empire is bad and harmful" aside for having a Singular Bad Guy.

HOWEVER Both of these could change depending on how the series progresses i think. I doubt the entire NCR was wiped out when Shady Sands was nuked. So having them have regrouped elsewhere, esp now w/ cold fusion on the table as a playing card, could be really cool.

THE GOOD

Their take on the BOS was choice. They did so good in avoiding F3's "theyre the good guys cus theyre basically the american military!!" pitfall. They're a cultish military organization and while there's some good people in there, it's a dying ember of the old world's military. It feels way better than "theyre the good guys with the guns and the armor tanks!!"

The characters, in general? Beautiful. I loved the whole cast. The main trio, the side characters, just. I really liked all of it. Also a cute dog. cute dog +10 points

The CGI was weird at some points but the effects as a whole were pretty cool. I liked em a lot. It was good

And the representation of the World of fallout was pretty neat. The gameplay callbacks were cute but not overly intrusive fanservice imo, the general story arcs were really fun, and it felt. Natural. Not forced, for the most part.

Also the humor was pretty good. I'd say it mostly landed

Over all I'd say it was more Good then Bad!! Really hoping they maaaybe adjust some details and handle it well in Season 2. cus it was cool. Good work

Well today my birthday, one year less of me pog (´ ∀ ` *) i didnt really do any special drawing or anything cause im lazy buttt- i think is a good opportunity to just info dump all of you with an old ass oc (^ω~)

So as the oc in question she... doesnt have a name (like mostly all my characters lol), i think i gravitated more with the name rose or rosemary. She is an oc from fallout new vegas (also my first character in said game), she is an independent mercenary with a strange of humor but with big convictions (sortha badmouth but kind hearted character), she was once simply the daughter of a mechanic in a small town untill it got raided by raiders, she was the only survivor only safe by the mysterious courier (who left her a 10 mm pistol and a big hero complex), she was later found by a carravan of merchants and lived with them, later on becoming the mersenary from today. By the time the story picks up she is taking recidence in the Atomic Wrangler, just drinking untill her next big job, which lead us to

My other oc from new vegas (which also doesnt have a name). He from an early age lost his father and mother because of an attack from some local fiends, he and his sister were rescuded and taken cared of by the ncr. They live amongs ncr units eventually being basicly recruted from a very early age, both them proved themselfs strong fighters, he and her sister evenetually would go to missions to extremintate fiends in local areas, but due to his "less than suddle attack tactics", he was send to other missions while her sister continue fighting in the front. With time he would become more harden by the militiristic ways of the ncr and become infactuated with the ideals of a soldier, at the same time he would was devasted to hear that her sister was "lost in action", he swore revenge on all fiends and raiders. Now he has been send on a mission to retrive and artifact for the brother hood of steel (which the ncr has a temporary pact with), while being monitored by a scribe of brother hood and a thirth party mersenary as per agreed, his real mission is to retrive said artifact and either destroy it or retrive it ,if possible ,for the ncr. and finally the final part of this trio

The brotherhood scribe (from same game and still no names cause i have no originalaty). She is one of the youngest scribes, her mother and father left the brotherhood in an expectidion that they never returned of, leaving her and her brother alone and while this devasted the poor girl at a young age, his brother tried to make the best off it. Her brother quickly became more intersted in making a name of them in the bunker studying to try to catch the eyes of the higher ups, he became one of the youngest scribes as he was very resorfull when it came to engering and computer science, this inscpire her to learn the same as her brother, both them eventually became scribes, tho her brother with time would become more distand of the ideals of the brotherhood (being sometimes openly antagonistic to the higher ups) both the intelects served them to get an important spot as scribes. But one day her brother would dissapear along with many important documents, no one knowing where he went not even her, this created distrust around her, people think that her brother defected and was probally trying to sell the knowlage of the brotherhood to the ncr, even tho she didnt belive that she was devasted by the disapearence of her brother, becoming more shelter incrisining the distruss around her. While many inside the brotherhood distruss her the courrent the elder does belive on her innocense, so to make her prove her innocent she was task to look for something the monitors in the brotherhood pick up on, she was to retrive what ever artifact was there and bring it back to the brotherhood

Soooooo, that would be about each character (sorry if it isnt the best writing, im not very good at doing short and concise writing), this would take place after a good courier ncr ending. Some stuff to note is that the theorical story would be from this three characters to basicly go in a trip to what amounts to coast to coast of the map of new vegas (where they would try to find said artifact), it would be mostly about this three characters becoming more of their own and becoming more united because of that. The real main villian of all this would be a reprogram yes man who is using both ncr character sister and the brotherhood scribe brother, to access the securitrons from the old cesars camp to basicly overtake new vegas. Some other fun stuff around this would be the main trio would have a sortha love triangle which in realaty is just a rivals to lovers (i just found it funny to be honest), a new invecion from raiders leaded by a crazy vaul girl, a securitron reprogramed to be a raider (which originaly was victor), and other stuff like that

Some other fun facts about the characters: The reason why the mersenary gal doesn have a leg is that because, i belive either a bug or a mod i had install at the time, my character right leg didnt appear in the pipboy so i just kinda head cannon it from her just didnt have a right leg Originaly the scribed and her brother would have had purple eyes but after looking about it online i just feel blue eyes fit her better, and both her and his brother have white her from stress, as both of them are very much not ok While the other two female gals are based on actuall playthrous of the game the ncr guy is more just a character i came up because i liked the ncr armor lol, he used to look a little different but i think i like this desing for him While i do not plan to ever write a story of this three some fun stuff "planed" for it would be mercenary and ncr fighting over scribe, a fight with the fiends that would reveal that ncr family were fiends, the scribe becoming more indepent and learning how to fight, and much exploriation of the world after this "courier" (that would be this mysterious figure that would only appear at the last battle againts the army of securitrons of yes man)

Soooooooooooooooo yeah, i think i alonged this long enough, in any case i do have a lot thought about this three knuckleheads but im too lazy to write anything so i think that will have to do to saciated my desire to spread my brain root on to ya, i will be posting other characters of this world in the following days but this up to do for today |･ω･)

#original art #oc #art #pencil and pen #fallout new vegas #fallout oc #sorry for the long post #and even more sorry to anyone who tried to read this #i know im a mess when it comes to writing my thoughts into paper #txtart

NPC | Idia Shroud

Warnings: Yandere, obsessive and possessive behavior, stalking, inappropriate actions, low-self esteem and self-hatred, Idia-focused, he’s a creep, Grim slander (I love you, Grim, I’m sorry...). Ask to tag!

A/N: It’s kind of short but it’s ¿fine? since it’s mostly be getting into the groove of writing for TWST... hahah, right??

Idia is such a loser, at least that’s what he thinks. He’s a shut-in, doujin-addicted, otaku who forgets to take care of himself and eat food that doesn’t consist of greasy chips and borderline toxic energy drinks, who has been wearing the same clothes for a week straight even though there’s a questionable stain smack in the middle of his shirt; the only reason anyone would look at him more than once would be to make sure they weren’t imagining a 1’83, messy and scrawny weeb making his way around campus.

But things change, outside influences - both positive and negative - have impacts on people's lives whether we want them to or not. When you came around, a curious non-magical human wandering around campus, how was Idia supposed to remain the same?

He became unbearably self-conscious, sure - he was never quite a fan of who he had become but it never got to this point, with you on his mind all of the time, how was he supposed to live with himself? He knew he was no better than a stupid, sidequest NPC in your story, a character you’d interact with to boost a certain skill level once every few events to clear a new stage. No, he wasn’t like Vil or Malleus, those guys were obviously meant as love interests, coded into your life to romance you and sweep you off your feet, meanwhile Ace and Deuce clearly had their script for the BFF trio with you installed early on, and that’s not even scratching the surface when it comes to the people in NCR; amongst such a wide and diverse, and clearly attractive, cast - you had to wonder what was supposed to come out of a character like him?

He tried cleaning himself up, showering a bit more and trying to wash his clothes and not wear the same two shirts on rotation, but he still felt off. You still didn’t pay attention to him, you still never once glanced his way and it was starting to become unbearable, it was as if for each passing hour you didn’t notice him, his need for you and your attention grew.

Idia wondered what he’d tell Ortho if he ever found about the cameras he had installed all over Ramshackle Dorm, how would he explain the ones nestled in your bathroom near your shower or the ones out with a more intimate view of your bed? But it was okay, Idia rationalized, Ortho would understand — he had been supportive up until now, right? He’d understand that his older brother didn’t stand a chance and that this was the only way for him to get close to you.

Whatever, Idia thought to himself one day as he walked through the crowded college halls, even if you did notice him, who's to say you’d be interested in him? With his luck, you probably already figured out he was the freak who installed all those cameras in your dorm — wait, did you even know about them? Ugh, he wanted to die, just thinking about it had him insulting himself for being such a creep; whenever he was alone in his room it all felt so natural but whenever he thought about it anywhere else he couldn’t help but feel like a degenerate. That’s what he was, he felt his chest tighten at the thought, a creepy nobody stalking the person they liked like some serial killer — no amount of showers, clean clothes, and slightly cleaner rooms would ever make up for the fact he was a creep who stalked you.

“Ah, there you are,” Idia’s breath hitches as he hears your voice, perfect, he bitterly thought, to add insult to injury the universe would now have him presence an exclusive cutscene with you and a love interest just to rub in the fact he didn’t have a chance with you, “hey, wait up! Please, Idia, right?”

It’s like the world stops as he hears his name come out of your pretty lips, he feels like he’s on cloud nine as he feels your hand reach out to touch his shoulder — he must have died, he thinks, and this was heaven, during his commute he probably tripped and fell and hit his head against something and since no one would help a loser like him he was left to die, there was no other reason for an angel such as yourself to reach out to him.

“Idia, are you alright?” You let go of him before making your way to look him in the face, “Oh, I-I’m sorry, I just stopped you out of nowhere and you probably had things to do…”

“Yes, I mean no,” he mutters under his breath, you had stopped him out of nowhere but he didn’t have anything to do, even if he did it would realistically be waiting for you to arrive home so he could watch you through the cameras, “it’s fine… y-you’re from Ramshackle Dorm, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” you smile, the previous frown in your face gone as you realize he wasn’t mad at you, “I’m sorry for approaching you like this out of nowhere but Azul told me you were really good with technology and, well…”

Oh, Azul… he knew the two of you interacted, he’d heard quite a lot about you through the “business man” (though he was often times more like a scammer, Idia thought), but that didn’t mean he liked the sound of his name out of your mouth; he’d much rather only hear his.

“I’ll just get to it,” you shake your head, “Grim said he’d found these little cameras all over our dorm, mostly in the common eras, it really freaked us out and I was wondering if maybe you could help us?”

You had found the cameras - they had lasted a good run, almost three and a half months, but that little grimy, irritating thing that called itself Grim had to find them, perfect. Amazing, spectacular - just what he needed… It truly was just what he needed.

“O-oh? H-how so?” Idia really didn’t know what exactly he was asking if he was honest, it was as if his lips were on auto-pilot, functioning without his brain’s permission.

“Well, we’d like to take them off,” you say, “but I think we should also figure out who put them there, for safety and… stuff. That’s where you’d come in, Azul said you were super good doing things like that.”

Take them off? No way, he wanted to laugh and then burst into tears just thinking about it, if he took them off he’d basically be cutting off the only source of direct - term loosely used - contact with you, however; if he was the one who would help you then it meant he could just use it as an opportunity to hide the cameras better and even set up better equipment, right? Plus, he’d be in your dorm, in your room, that’s basically an off-the-limits zone for him most of the time but if you invited him over you’re basically giving him a cheat sheet.

“I… I guess I could try,” he’s really trying to act as cool as possible while overheating, if he were a machine he’d probably need to be unplugged and let to rest because the heat rushing through his body the longer he conversed with you couldn’t be healthy, but this was an incredibly valuable opportunity and he couldn’t let his virgin attitude fuck it up, “but I’d need to come over to y-your place and get it checked out m-myself… ifyoudontmind.”

“Sure,” he can see the way his words lighten up your smile, Idia can’t help the swell of pride that bubbles in his chest when he sees the positive effect he’s just had on you, “would tomorrow be okay?”

“Yeah, sure.” He’s hoping the curt, blunt responses are working - he needs to seem like a cooler, more leveled up version of himself lest he speaks too much and ends up babbling on about how he’s got a drawer filled with your items he regularly talks to.

“Ah, thank you so much!“ You smile widely, already feeling a weight lift off your shoulders at the prospect of finally getting rid of those cameras, “See you tomorrow, Idia!”

“Yeah… see you.” The flamed-hair boy couldn’t help the wicked smile that overtook his features, sharp teeth basically shining he saw your figure disappear into the crowd. So sweet and trusting, you truly were too good to be in such a school, this place was filled to the brim with predators, didn’t you know? And you had basically invited one of them into your home. Maybe you wanted this, Idia thought to himself as he hurriedly made his way to his dorm – he’d just skip the remaining classes and work on his new equipment for you, he still can’t believe it, he’s giddy just thinking about it, you inviting him over to your place, that’s basically flirting with him, you know?

He’d just have to make sure the next batch would be more discreet so neither you or that pest would find them.

He easily spends the next couple of hours planning where to hide the newer, smaller cameras - which he’d personally designed to make as high quality and discreet as possible -, he already had a few spots planned out, mainly new locations in your room and bathroom alongside the halls, kitchen, and some other rooms he’s seen you frequent. As he tinkered the hours away, awaiting for the time to finally head over to your place, he was left alone with his thoughts.

At first, he couldn’t deny being scared and highly irritated that his cameras had been found out, who wouldn’t be? Those cameras were not only incredibly expensive and high-tech but those were practically Idia’s only way to experience you comfortably. Not just that, but the fact it was Grim of all things to reveal their existence just adds insult to injury - that furball ended up ruining months worth of you-time and hours upon hours of effort. But the more he thought about it, the more blessed the situation seemed to become; this was a perfect opportunity to change systems, go for even higher quality video and cameras and even include a recording system, and to finally change his status from nameless NPC to primary love interest. Yes, that’d be nice, just thinking about it has the tips of his hair flaring pink and a blush forming upon his deadly-pale skin; he’d make sure to change the whole script, just for you, he wouldn’t tolerate any rival love interests anymore and he wasn’t going to let himself remain a side character.

Helloooo. First of all, I definitely LOVE your writing! Theyre so fun to read! And second, can I request hcs...or scenario (you can choose!) with octa trio + riddle and idia accidentally hearing their fem crush gushed enthusiastically about them to her friends? Thanks a lot!

AH- Thank you so much!! (^///^) I have a lot fun writing these for everyone, I’m super happy you like my posts!

Oh anon, this idea!!! I had so much fun with this!! I hope you like it! I genuinely want to make these all into full-fledged scenarios or maybe just mini-scenarios! If you would like one of those, you are more than welcome to ask for it! I’m going to have brainrot about this idea for a long time now, it’s just so cute!

Finding their fem!crush gushing about them to her friends!

Azul had just been minding his business, making his way through the campus of NCR, students avoiding him as usual.

Walking around the corner, he hears you squealing to your group of friends. You sound so excited! It piqued his curiosity so he hid. Just what opportunity could you be presenting him with?

Very jealous at first, he doesn’t know who you’re talking so highly about. He never had much of a fair chance at a relationship with you, or so he believes. He supposes this conversation can be used as black-mail in the future.

And then he hears his name being followed along by another string of compliments.

Almost lets out the loudest gasp, but stops himself in time. He blushes a very deep shade of red. This isn’t fair. You shouldn’t be allowed to make his heart beat this quickly. And all those words of adoration, goodness! What is he supposed to do?

He’s thankful that he sent the twins off to go do something. Otherwise, they would tease him and push him towards you with no remorse.

He proceeds to go straight to his room, launch himself into bed, hug a pillow, and roll around and squeal in joy.

He can use this to his advantage! Your little indirect confession will be used as coverage for when he ropes you into a contract! A contract of love that is!

Jade and Floyd can’t help but notice their boss is in a much happier mood the following days!

He already knew you harbored feelings for him. Remember, he’s amazing at reading people. Now, he was simply waiting for you to make your move.

He really hadn’t expected to find you and your friends in an empty hallway. You were practically vibrating in place while you told them about a certain crush of yours.

How bold of you to talk about such things in public! You can never know who will be listening.

His outside expression doesn’t change. He’s still smiling like usual. On the inside however, he’s quite happy. Technically, this doesn’t count as an advance on your part, but he can use this situation to his benefit.

He makes his way forward ever so quietly. Wrapped up in your excitement, you don’t even seem to notice him.

Your friends desperately try to tell you about the looming eel that is right behind you, please quiet down before you embarrass yourself further.

It seems to be too late for that though.

You feel a pair of hands on your shoulders, finally alerting you of his presence. It’s no use trying to play off the situation, he heard just enough to know.

No please, go on, he insists. Just what else do you have to say? He wants to hear all of it.

Floyd never made his feelings a secret! This applies to his crush on you too! He’s a lot clingier with you, and he tends to drag you around more than anyone else! It’s quite obvious that you’re his obsession. However, you had yet to confess your love for him. What a shy shrimp you are! He’s starting to get a little impatient.

He wasn’t in the best of moods when he overheard your “confession.” He didn’t feel like working at Mostro Lounge or doing that really long assignment Professor Trein had given out. He was so bored.

His mood does a complete 180 when he hears you absolutely “melting” over a “tall and attractive eel who loves to squeeze you.”

He’s so happy to hear that! He knew you loved him too! He quickly becomes annoyed soon after though. Shouldn’t you be telling him these things to his face? It’s quite rude to not be honest with a person.

Goes up and just glomps you right there and then, it doesn’t matter who you’re with or where you are. It’s time to spend the rest of your day with him now! Go on! Tell him about how much you adore him! You have a lot of nerve making him wait!

He’s going to squeeze you all day! This is your punishment for not confessing sooner! It’s impossible to escape now, when Floyd makes up his mind nothing can stop him.

Trey had told Riddle to take a short break from his paperwork. Not wanting to go far from the dorm, he decided to take a stroll through the maze. It was meant to be a relaxing 10-minute walk, not a stressful be quick and hide situation. He did it on impulse! He really didn’t know you were going to be here talking your heart out.

He knows it’s extremely rude to listen in on a private conversation, but he can’t seem to stop. What kind of person have you fallen in love with while he yearns for you?

He almost starts to cry when he realizes it’s him. You sound so genuine and happy when you talk about him! Even if he isn’t your boyfriend just yet, he feels so loved!

Always having been self-conscious for his lack of romantic knowledge, he’s glad you seem to like him anyways! He’s been trying to show off a bit with his magic and intellect lately, it’s paying off it seems!

Feels very guilty nonetheless, he had no right to hear any of this. When he confesses one day, he’ll do his best to apologize.

Riddle tries to calm his racing heart and stop the intense blush on his face before he leaves. He’s quite grateful Trey forced him out here.

He was watching you through the cams he has set up around school. He wasn’t trying to spy on you or anything! He simply happened to be on the right camera at the right time.

He assumes the worst automatically. His self-loathing increases with every compliment you seem to give this mystery person. It clouds his logical thinking. Of course you would love someone else. He just spends his days wasting your time and doing nothing but hanging out in his room. He’s terrible with socializing too. You deserve a lot better.

The bigger part of him wants to shut-off his monitor, not wanting to listen anymore. The smaller part wants to know who’s the object of your affection. Who matches the description of “beautiful, long blue hair,” “pretty yellow eyes,” “adorable fanboy,” and “extremely smart.” It genuinely takes him a good minute or so to figure it out. It helps that you practically shout out his name too.

His entire being turns red, hair included. A room temperature increase follows suit.

His heart can’t handle this! You’re the heroine to this story! You’re supposed to get with one of the cool SSR characters?! The NPC character isn’t a part of the romance list!

Nearly collapses onto the floor in complete happiness and confusion. He’s not complaining, not at all! However, he does begin to question your taste in men.

Ortho is now rushing to his brother’s room. The levels of heat are getting dangerously high and he is panicking. He knows his brother can get random bursts of excitement, but never to this extent!

i think deacon’s idle voice lines reveal a lot more about him as a person than anything he says during affinity conversations, and here’s why

get ready for a long meta post about deacon that nobody asked for, because we’re deep diving today.

okay. so Deacon’s a liar, everybody knows this. He tells you straight up that he does and WILL lie to you, and will praise you if you call him out, but i think his idle voice lines are more honest about himself than he would have you believe.

Personal Life

i first noticed stuff he says in idle conversations when we were taking rad damage and he said, “Great. I didn’t need to have more children.” (0:58 for anyone interested) and “Guess there won’t be any little Deacons scurrying around in the future.” The above video doesn’t include it, but I have heard him say it in game. Unfortunately, I can’t go digging around in the game files to find it, so you might have to take that one at my word!

I always take his affinity conversations with a grain of salt because, well, it’s Deacon, but given how angry and upset with a dismissive Sole Survivor he becomes, I’m willing to give him a little bit of leeway and believe that Barbara either was or is real, and she’s no longer in his life. Plus, given what he says about them “trying for kids”? It’s not unreasonable to think that he has or had children. If he ever did, they’re not in his life anymore either.

(the reproductive ability of synths is debated. i couldn’t actually find any information on the fallout wiki, but there were a few forums discussing the topic where the general consensus seemed to be “no”, but if synths are 100% biologically human, then i don’t see why they technically couldn’t. it’s kind of a YMMV thing.)

Plus, it’s pretty consistent that he gets freaked out when up in high places. (:44) here to listen to his voice lines about being up in the quarry, and here to listen to his dialogue during the Railroad aligned quest Red Glare. Safe to say this man is honestly afraid of heights.

"Alright. You got me up here... let's go down. Now?"

At the top of Trinity Tower.

The Railroad

Not going to spend a lot of time on this, since his voice lines about it are minimal, but it is of note.

Game files and terminal entries hint at Desdemona believing that Deacon is “John D”, the sole survivor of an attack on the Railroad back in 2266. Post 2273, there is no more mention about “John D”. Admittedly, this is pretty weak evidence considering it’s in-game conjecture, but Deacon mentions knowing Desdemona as a green recruit, finding it hard to take her seriously at times.

Even if his claim about being the real leader of the Railroad is bullshit, he’s obviously one of the eldest members of the Railroad, confirmed membership going back at least 12 years to 2275. He could very well be the oldest surviving member of the Railroad.

Hidden Depths

this one is pretty well known, so I’m not going to say too much on it either.

the man knows a lot of stuff about the pre war world! Don’t know why! He never offers any reason for why he’s so familiar with the pre war world. It’s very clear that he either had a much, much more thorough education than most Wastelanders, or he was around people who did. University Point was a pretty major settlement until the Institute wiped it out, so I suppose it’s possible that he could’ve been schooled there, but I find it unlikely. He never makes any mention of his childhood other than an obvious joke where he says, “I grew up just over there. Lot of fond memories by that...thing.” (this link is a compilation of voice lines, so it may take a moment to get there.)

Obviously there’s the famous Proust line, indicating he’s pretty well read, though, oddly enough, he doesn’t have anything to say about Henry David Thoreau’s cabin! You’d think he would. In addition to Proust, he has the combat voice line, “Insert something Shakespearean about your death and inevitable doom here,” indicating he’s familiar with Shakespeare.

He also mentions knowing and wanting a talk radio show. I mean, the Charles River Trio exists, but it’s a stretch to call that a talk radio show. He also mentions having read “a few textbooks” and asks if we were planning on an invasion of mathletes. This hints at nothing, but i do think it’s funny that he knows the word mathlete, but refers to pre-war objects as gizmos.

Involvement in other games

It’s canon that Deacon has been to the Capital Wasteland, and based on his dialogue, may have been VERY involved in the goings on there.

The events of Fallout 3 take place in 2277. The wiki tells us that sometime in 2275, Deacon was kicked out of the railroad by then-leader Pinky Thompson because Pinky was "sick of the lying, face-changing son of a bitch." So maybe unlikely, but very possible for Deacon to have been in the Capital Wasteland during the entirety of the events of Fallout 3. Though this pretty much kills the idea that Deacon was the Lone Wanderer, that’s a headcanon i love and probably one that I want to do something with in the future.

He also seems to have quite a history with the Brotherhood of Steel and seems familiar with them and their actions in the Capital Wasteland, going to far as to say that they did good work in the Capital. Not only that, but he mentions “Code Violet”, part of Harkness’ override code from Fallout 3. It’s possible that Deacon could’ve been a runner for escaped synths heading for the Capital Wasteland sometime around 2277, which could be why he’s so knowledgeable about Capital-era Brotherhood and President Eden.

Deacon talks about winning something from Robert House in a poker game while chatting with Deezer in Covenant. (1:26) Also interesting to note - he mentions “Being a soldier in the west” (17:43) at one point, hinting to possible involvement with the NCR (or possibly with the Western chapter of the Brotherhood).

of course it’s possible that Deacon is bullshitting. He’s a liar. even if he doesn’t have a “reason” to lie, that doesn’t make every random word that comes out of his mouth the truth. simply - this man knows a lot. Knows things that, arguably, he shouldn’t or would be very hard for him to learn without some dedicated poking around.

in conclusion?

is there more? most definitely. what does this mean? well...not really anything. part of why i believe that his idle voice lines are more truthful than anything he says during his affinity conversations is because during those conversations, a lot of the time, he’s lying to try and prove a point.

"But I had a point here. A lesson, if you will. There're other organizations out there. And, in time, I'm sure they're going to spoon-feed you their own patented form of bullshit. Ignore the verbage and look at what they're doing. What they're asking you to do. What sort of world they'd have you build and how they're going to pay for it."

I believe a lot of Deacon’s lies are meant for himself. To run from himself, to comfort himself, or simply because he doesn’t want to be affiliated with the man he was when he was younger. To me, his idle lines are him “thinking out loud”. Grumbling because the Sole Survivor dragged him into an irradiated hell hole, or freaked out because they’re standing on top of Trinity Tower and by god, he can feel the building swaying.

Maybe his honesty is completely on accident. Maybe he’s just hinting at a personal life with a max affinity Sole Survivor because this person is his best friend and despite everything he’s ever tried to teach himself, he trusts this person. Or maybe it isn’t honesty at all, and he’s just bullshitting to bullshit. It’s impossible to know for sure.

Either way, we’ll never truly know the real Deacon.

#fallout #fallout 4 #deacon #fallout meta #kal talks #this was actually quite a lot of fun to write and research #and it all started because of his voice line about children #thanks deeks #for baby's first meta post i think i dif pretty well lmao
