dudes will be like "women only date based on looks they wouldn't go for a guy who isn't conventionally attractive" meanwhile the women in question are thirsting over the ghoul from fallout bc he's cool and wears cowboy boots like looks literally have fuck all to do with it fellers
Only replying to this before I block for the sake of ghoulcy shippers - if you’re fresh from the TV show you might not know the ins and outs of ghouls in the Fallout universe.
People can write whatever they want, because it’s (newsflash) fiction, but there’s also a LOT of in-game evidence to back up the idea that ghouls have dicks. Can’t believe I’m having to explain this, lol.
For example - there are ghoul sex workers in New Vegas, a terminal on the brotherhood's blimp that mentions soldiers catching STDs from ghouls, multiple “sleeping with” perks for MCs pursuing ghoul romance options etc etc etc
All of which could be explained away by the truly boring, but the implication that most non-feral ghouls have functioning anatomy has been clear in the games for years now.
Fallout is, and always has been, for the freaks.
ghoulcy/vaultghoul headcanon that once they start dating, cooper isn't actually as intensely possessive as lucy thought he would be. no lassos, no leash. he doesn't even joke about it anymore.
the truth is, cooper already sees himself as a monster. he knows he acted like a monster towards her at first. it doesn't matter that lucy has long forgiven him; he's not gonna push it, not when she's the best damn thing he's held in centuries.
lucy's far too gentle to be with someone who behaves rough with her, far too sweet to be with someone who doesn't give her any of her own sweetness back.
she's too much of a survivor-- his little killer-- to be degraded by being referred to like a possession, like he owns her. he pushes the urge down.
until.
until they're in bed and he can't help the words that come out: "ain't no one else ever gonna touch you like this", "yer mine, have been ever since i first put that lasso 'round your neck", "why don't you scream my name so everyone 'round here knows exactly who you belong to?"
You new here? Ghouls have been romance options in the games for over a decade lol

Sometimes I read a Zutara fic classic and I want to scream “WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS, THIS IS SO UNDERRATED” even though it’s on like a million rec lists and everyone has already read it??? Like nobody told me Once Around The Sun or Southern Lights are THIS good, even though EVERYONE said they’re good, does that make sense. I didn’t know they’d give me book hangovers and possibly change my brain chemistry
Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best
umm anyway I'm a thousand years late but I'm obsessed with the idea of Takemura being a romance option so if anyone out there feels the same please god I need to talk about him with someone hahaha
