right, hi! me! so you might've noticed i haven't been active lately-- and I'm going to continue to not be. I'm more saying this for a sense of personal clarity. simply put, my fallout hyperfixation has gone and died, dug and ran itself right into a pretty little ditch. and, well, this is a fallout account, so one thing leads to another, yeah? so I'm likely not going to be using this account much anymore.

i guess i just want to say that I really do love this community! you all are nice, you all are sweet, you all are talented and generally amazing. but you all aren't quite for me anymore, so i'd rather just capture this account as it is, and leave it. i won't delete it-- because there's nothing worse than finding out an account you were looking for was deleted-- but I won't touch it. thank you for the time I did spend here, even if it only added up to about 4 or 5 months.

if you want to stay in contact with me, feel free to friend me on discord! my username is acadianideals#3992. if you want to keep following my art [although it's not fallout anymore, sorry haha!] my instagram handle is randomarceus.

maybe someday we'll all cross paths again in a different fandom. maybe someday, something will happen, and something will change. but for now, see ya whenever. :)

hi my name is Arthur St’eel Maxson and i have black power armor with the Brotherhood of Steel emblem (that’s how i got my name) and a really cool coat and a lot of people tell me i look like Liberty Prime (AN: if u don’t know who that is get da hell out of here!). im not related to Paladin Danse but i wish i was because he’s a perfect fucking soldier. i’m also the Elder, and i’m invading a place called the Commonwealth in the middle of the wasteland where I’m trying to destroy the Institute. i’m a soldier (in case you couldnt tell) and i wear mostly armor. for example today i was wearing a black helmet with matching black power armor. I was walking outside the Boston airport. there was a radioactive storm and rain so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of synths stared at me. I nuked them.

#oh my god #the moment I read the ‘AN:’ the reference hit me like a speeding truck

me at age 10: school is LITERALLY a prison. they keep us here for hours and dont let us eat or use the bathroom unless we ask. and we're forced to do dumb unnecessary work and we can't leave. this sucks

me at age 15: that was a little dramatic i think i mean it wasn't that bad

me at age 20: actually 10 year old me was right the way they treated us was incredibly inhumane for no fucking reason

I saw this on FB today and I wanna try and express something about it. Like, you know the curbcutter effect? Where when curbcuts are put in it benefits everyone (bicyclists, people with baby strollers etc) and not just disabled people?

There is also whatever the opposite of the curbcutter effect is. And this is that.

This isn't just anti-adhd/autism propaganda... this is anti-child propaganda.

Kids have developmentally appropriate ways that they need to move their bodies and express themselves and sitting perfectly still staring straight ahead is not natural or good for ANY CHILD.

Don't get me wrong, I was punished unduly as a kid for being neurodivergent (and other types of kid will ALSO be punished unduly for it... Black kids come to mind) and thus UNABLE to perform this -- but even the kids who ARE able to perform this type of behavior are not SERVED WELL by it. They don't benefit from it.

This is bad for everyone.

The idea that bc some kids may be capable of complying with unfair expectations, those expectations don't hurt them... is a dangerous idea. Compliance isn't thriving. Expectation of compliance isn't fair treatment.

This is a very old and tired complaint but Shaun really was the stupidest thing about fallout 4. The synths were pretty bad too but the synths weren't supposed to be the characters motivation for doing anything. Shaun was several jukes in a contrivance trench coat that clashed with...everything else, to be honest.

So anyway, some dumb ideas i came up with in ten minutes to replace the "Find your son" plot, still using the basic ideas

The SS is still pre-war, and still is the only survivor of Vault 111. This time, they're the ones taken by Kellogg, and after undergoing something (basically just being conscious in the Institute for a bit) before getting thrown back out into the Wasteland. The motivation is figuring out who those science guys were, what they wanted with you, and later, are you a synth?

The SS is not pre-war. Game starts with you traveling with some merc group (gunners maybe?) told to investigate Vault 111 and get out any survivors of the cryo chambers. You find the cryo'd people, but the Institute and Kellogg are right behind you. Kellogg kills everyone in your band, leaving only you, as you hide or play dead or whatever. The Institute takes all of the people you were supposed to save. Motivation is 1: avenging your team and killing Kellogg, 2: figuring out why you were sent to Vault 111 in the first place, and if this job was a set-up.

SS is a traveler who stumbles upon Garvey in Concord. You save him and his group, and can join the Minutemen as usual. If you accept, the Settlement radiant quests start to involve the Institute. Synths are constantly attacking your farms, you keep finding replacements in your settlements trying to kill the original people, and the Institute sends you letters requesting your cooperation or to disband the Minutemen, depending on your actions. Kellogg also keeps showing up and throwing wrenches in Minutemen business. Now, as the General, you're trying to find the Institute to make them stop fucking with your people. If you decline the Minutemen, the Institute starts attacking the major settlements, and now the Commonwealth is under invasion. The Brotherhood rolls in with no fake niceties, and you get roped into it by either the Railroad or BOS in a random encounter.

Back to Pre-war SS. The cryo chambers open after 200 years on their own, and all of the 'residents' stumble out to find the Vault staff dead. Someone has to go see what its like topside. You can volunteer, or everyone draws straws/flips a coin/etc and you lose, having to go up. You go find Codsworth, he tells you there are people in Concord. Find Garvey, etc etc. Vault 111 is now up and operational by Pre-war civilians, but you're tasking with getting supplies for them. Joining the Minutemen makes this easier, as you can send supply routes rather than do it yourself. The Vault interests the Institute, who send Kellogg to attack Sanctuary and the Vault after hitting a certain threshold of success. You go after the Institute once it looks like the Institute, before the war, had something to do with Vault 111, and are now trying to come collect those results. Motivation is figuring out what the Institute is actually planning for the Commonwealth, and why Vault 111 and its people seem to be their ticket to that future.

HELP. Oh wait hang on.

Humorous, courier, I find your ability to jest and state the obvious when there is work to do morbidly dull.

fnv: one of your companions parallels cato the younger, in that he committed a furious, messy suicide as a final defiant "fuck you" to the mad caesar who kept him enslaved as a caretaker and advisor

fo4: one of your companions parallels john hancock in that he has that person's name and hat

Dave was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome

He mentioned the trip to the barber, who responded,

“Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty and full of Italians. You’re crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?”

“We’re taking United,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!”

“United!” exclaimed the barber. “That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?”

“We’ll be at the downtown International Marriott.”

“That dump! That’s the worst hotel in Rome. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they’re overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?”

“We’re going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.”

“That’s rich,” laughed the barber. “You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it!”

A month later, Dave again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome.

“It was wonderful,” explained Dave. “Not only were we on time in one of United’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful young stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel! Well, it was great! They’d just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it’s the finest hotel in the city. They were overbooked too, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!”

“Well,” muttered the barber. “I know you didn’t get to see the Pope.”

“Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked in. As I knelt down he spoke to me.”

“What did he say?”

“He said, ‘Where’d you get this shitty haircut?”
