henlo, i'm goris, i'm a fictive and i post Fallout, post apocalyptic, cute animals, 40s-70s aesthetic, my pet snails, and of course, 'claws. i share this blog with a fictive of salvatore moreau!! my snailblr is slimeysnailfriends. our subsystem blog is mole-miners-daughter. i don't intentionally reblog from bad people. my about page is no longer accurate please ignore it.
if we still used twitter i would raise all hell. this, plus naming an enclave scientist after a holocaust survivor? not that they hadn't already screwed the franchise over. i was trying to have a little optimism, but i can't anymore :( it ends, it's done. after fo4, nothing happened. that was the last game. anything that happens/has happened, isn't the real fallout, just a money hungry game company's sad attempt to feel like they really did something.
"Bethesda/Todd Howard doesn't actually hate FNV 🙄"
They have stated the show is apparently 100% canon and they're using it to retcon the only good Fallout game to come out in decades. It wasn't even enough to ruin West Coast lore post-FNV, they're literally saying FNV never happened.
No wonder Pete Hines resigned back in October; even he thought this was stupid.
Bethesda haters stay correct. Anyone who somehow still had hope for this franchise despite the last ten years, now you can finally let go.
this cockroach (recently molted, not yet hardened) though pleasantly dopey-looking isn’t the focus of this post—they’re living on him.
meet Androlaelaps schaeferi, the hissing cockroach mite. when Gromphadorhina spp. were brought into captivity decades ago, their commensal mites came with them. the mites amble around the roach’s body, living off of food scraps and other debris, which actually helps keep their host healthy and clean.
when their ride is disturbed, the little passengers rush to a safe nook, often in the “neck” region where they’re well protected. even when their host dies, the mites are hesitant to leave the only home they’ve known.
