Been thinking abt my fnv S/I and like. Back when I made them I had such a nebulous concept of what them being in charge of the Strip really meant/ detailed... even back then I had an idea of the fact they weren't ruling solely by themselves, and instead would like. Call council etc with their companions/ other faction leaders in the new vegas area etc. But now that I've had a chance to think on it more/ me and my friends talk abt our SIs working together I think it'd be neat if my courier specialized in like. Trying to establish some kind of health infrastructure ie more clinics, maybe even trying to get the start of an actual hospital going in vegas itself. It's certainly a long-form project for them but it's definitely something that would contribute to the well being of the area and even if it's still administrative it's a lot more in their area of expertise so they don't feel like they're always floundering lol.

#idk. i love thinking abt post hoover dam stuff lol

this is a reminder for selfshippers that its okay to make your f/os obsessed with you. so true they WOULD think about you all the time. so true they WOULD bring you up in every conversation. the world could be ending and your f/o would only mourn not getting to give you enough affection

Gonna make an effort to be more active here... I've been alive I swear I've just been VERY caught up working on my new yes man ukagaka for like. 3 months now?

#believe me i have in no way stopped doing self ship stuff lol #work is just kicking my ass and all my other time has been going into what is essentially an ambitious monument to how badly i love yes man #irt the ukagaka teehee. hes not even done yet and just him idling on my desktop w/o all his features complete makes me soooo giddy

Thinking yes man thoughts... thinking about post upgrade telling him he can be honest what he thinks abt me bc as much as I like him and feel like weve been on good terms thru most of knowing each other I want to know he actually feels that way instead of just having to hope... and when he does and tells me he considers me a friend I still kinda can't believe it and press him abt not having to humor me so when he's still adamant abt it I can't help but feel a little taken back that he thinks so much of me. But he does also admit he thought I was scary when we first met (covered in Benny's blood and scary ass thousand yard stare thing going on and didn't talk much)

#metal husband #ughhhh i wuv him so bad.

Valentine’s Day doodles! I think Yes Man’s a real sucker for any excuse to get to do stuff like this… And he certainly doesn’t mind the hugs in return ❤️

#yes man #self insert #metal husband

Imagine your f/o trips and falls onto you. Do you catch them, or do you end up both sprawled on the floor?

#hes a 7 ft tall robot nearly as wide as he is tall. i might not be surviving but thats ok 💖

Thinking about my metal husband again... And holding his big ass securitron claw perhaps.

I usually disappear from this blog when I'm in between F/Os but for once that is. Not the case. No this time I've been away for a month because of this Thang

I've never really played with plush making before so he's kinda wonky but like. Still charming I think. He's also obviously still a wip, need to remake his shirt since it came out too small, make shoes, his vest and coat etc but its been a fun project and step outside my usual comfort zone!

#ill be posting him on my main art blog once hes finished #but uh yeah. bad grief my love

[affectionatealien]

Another October aka time for this guy to move into my head rent free yet again <3

#griefinn #bad grief #idk why my self ship with him is so seasonal but well. maybe it won't be this time smiele...

#doing everything in my power to not give in to the strangely yearly cycle of 'convince self you're compatible with grief #and try to f/o him again only to remember why it hasn't worked out every time before and feel bad about it' #it's been sooooo normal here I prommy

It's been years since I thought about my TF2 sona so they're getting yet another update- Not quite a medic, but they do help Medic with whatever absurd tests/ experimentation has caught his fancy. Somewhere between 'henchman' and 'assistant' with whatever help they provide. Their high tolerance for all things gross and gorey and knowing when not to ask questions makes them excellent for the job.

#almost forgot to slap this here too teehee

[affectionatealien]

Hmmmm. It's my self insert so I get to decide how self indulgent I get even if it feels silly/ like a stretch to me....

I think it'd be fun if my tf2 insert and engie met at some point prior... thinking abt the idea of before Mann co./ in between getting his 11 phds he does more work that's like. Working on machines vs building them since it's a good tie into engineering... whether it's as a side thing or maybe family related work since the conaghers have been doing engineering and all for awhile. Either way the point is I think at least one of his degrees is in biomedical engineering so it'd be fun if we met bc he did service stuff for like. Hospital machinery. Guy who occasionally shows up to work on our busted lab machines and we chit chat occasionally. Maybe has to stay a night or two waiting for replacement parts for something weird ome time and I show him around our tiny ass town. Doesn't go anywhere serious but its a nice little distraction for us both. Fast forward 10 years and we are both looking at each other thinking "huh that guy looks familiar" before it clicks like a week later and we're just that spider man pointing at himself meme

#idk its a fun thought even if i feel like itd be a bit of a stretch for dell to just be out doing stuff like this #its also just a fun little nod to the fact i originally selfshipped with engineer like. almost a decade ago. #i like working little things like that into a narrative

[affectionatealien]

The fact I would listen to him talk about whatever bizarre shit he was building is entirely out of academic curiosity I PROMMY

Went on vacation and for whatever unfathomable reason during that it would appear my old thing for engineer tf2 has yet again resurfaced so uh. I'm definitely being normal about that teehee.

#sometimes you think about a guy and it instantly rearranges your brain i guess #almost immediately started having dreams abt him too. nothing other than just like. him being there or chatting #so he might be living there. rent free.
