Rome, goddess of death, rules the Underworld with an iron fist, softened only by the counsel of her wife. Second to her are her henchmen: Shrike and Jackal. Jackal, ever a friend to mortals, ferries their souls to the riverbanks. Pray you never meet Shrike, as she is responsible for the guilty wails that echo through those dark halls...

My Sims obsession continues, featuring the Chthonic deities from my Deity AU, a Greco-Roman pantheon-esque setting for my Fallout OCs.

Amazing template by @lubsofrph! You can find it here: x. If you want to know about any of the CC I use, just let me know.

Sometimes I try to figure out why I'm so drawn to certain characters - Boone I understand because he's got an incredibly tragic story with a lot of character development and grey morality. It still requires some work though (such as giving Carla more of a voice or going beyond his in-game arc).

Charon on the other hand. Bethesda really just dropped that guy and didn't elaborate at all. They said here, have a ghoul who's tall as fuck and is forced to obey the orders of whoever owns him. No, we will not explain how he got this way. No, you cannot help him. Enjoy!

Like, okay, thanks. I'm obsessed with him now because I can't not try to fix this.

#he's like just intriguing enough. without any substance #why'd they do that. #they gave me a troubled and very tall ghoul canvas #charon #craig boone #fnv #fo3 #letters #just because i can't get myself to create anything doesn't mean they don't still live rent free in my head #of course now when i've transferred to a quarter system and am busier than ever is when i want to continue itotkm...

Okay, this might be the most important headcanon question I've asked so far. Canonically, there are no horses in Fallout. But...

#i'm always torn on this one #i like all the options in their own right #but man it would be easier to get around on horse rather than walking... #fallout new vegas #fallout 3 #fallout 4 #fallout #fnv #fo3 #fo4 #ballots

ARGH i made that poll and accidentally set it to 1 day only so i need to remake it

[courier-sux]

Okay, I have another Fallout headcanon question for you all. Feel free to give as detailed an explanation as you want in the notes.

#i always wonder this when i talk to arcade #where did you get your glasses bud #the enclave? the followers? some guy in freeside?? #fallout #fallout new vegas #fallout 4 #fallout 3 #fnv #fo4 #fo3 #ballots

Jackal for #4?

oo this one is hard bc i feel like so many can fit. here's two for ya

4. a song lyric to describe their personality

Apologize - grandson

And I don't know where I'm gonna go But I don't care, I’m on the road Never been a perfect soul But I will not apologize

Jackal lives to travel above all else. It's their purpose in life and it's what makes them happy. Even better if they've got good company on the road. And as for not apologizing, well... even with all their flaws, they're rarely one to apologize, due to their pride.

I'm Not Okay - Weathers

I can be a handful But that's why you have two hands

This is just a small one, but I love it for Jackal. They are indeed a handful. Luckily, those close to them are willing to use both hands.

7 & 9 for jace, jackal & athena 😈

let's comfort the children and then make them CRY. i tried to pick songs that i could see being in the fallout setting + characters listening to (the imagine dragons song passes bc its acoustic...)

7. a song lyric that would comfort them when they’re sad

Jace: The Little Green Valley - Marty Robbins

I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley He's singing out a song of welcome just for me And someone waits by the garden gate Down in the little green valley When I get back again, how happy she will be

This song always makes Jace think of his home, where his mamá is waiting for his next visit with hot food and a warm hug.

Jackal: My Rifle, My Pony, and Me - Dean Martin

Purple light in the canyon That is where I long to be With my three good companions Just my rifle, pony, and me

Jackal is always happiest when they're hitting their road by saddle, whistling a tune with their rifle on their back.

Athena: Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall - The Ink Spots

Into each life, some rain must fall Too much is falling in mine Into each heart, some tears must fall Someday the sun will shine

Athena has a lot of grief in her life, but this song reminds her that everything passes, and she should be grateful for the good parts. Rain is, quite literally, her favorite thing about coming out of the vault. (You mean it just comes from the sky...?!)

more under the cut :)

9. a song lyric to make them cry

Jace: I'm Going That Way - Emily Cross

I know I shall meet Him at the gate, when trials are past I know I shall meet Him face to face in glory at last And oh, I believe that when we meet “well done” He will say For trusting His soul-redeeming love, I’m going that way

Jace has... been through a lot. He's endured physical hardship, lost people close to him, and had his heart broken. I can absolutely see him breaking down while trying to sing this church hymn when he's going through it. The idea of eternal peace after so much hardship would almost be too much to bear.

Jackal: Release - Imagine Dragons

Petty lies to everyone In the hopes that I could be someone Heaven talks, but not to me And now I wonder if it's meant to be Desolation, tragedy Is there nothing good in me?

I drew some sketches of Jackal inspired by this forever ago. Jackal has a lot of self-doubt and struggles with imposter syndrome, believing at the worst of times that they worthless and undeserving of people's care. All alone, watching the sun rise, believing that it might be better if it didn't... some tears might fall.

Athena: The End of the World - Skeeter Davis

Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said, "Goodbye"

Athena cries an awful lot throughout the duration of Fallout 3. Losing her Dad to the Enclave and later getting kicking out of the vault by the girl she's in love with... let's just say it wouldn't be good if she heard this song play on the radio.

it finally happened. they’ve breached our defenses. i had a porn bot like a post on this blog.

#i’ve been killing them left and right on my main #but so far they hadn’t touched this one #tearfully pulls out a rifle #letters

[courier-sux]

back before i knew i was nonbinary, a majority of my ocs were straight laced cis. now looking at my most recent ocs you’d be hard pressed to find one that doesn’t have some level of gender fuckery going on

#letters #even the cis ones #haven’t posted about most of those ocs #been busy and also idk if anyone would care #but man most of the time when i make ocs i like… don’t even think about their gender or sex #i just go purely on vibes #and then determine the gender after if at all #something abt being able to explore that stuff through the lens of an oc. it feels good

[courier-sux]

8, 12, 14, and 25

i love you for sending this but it’s been so long since i’ve reblogged an ask meme/game that i have no idea what this is referencing

#i would be happy to answer it if you told me which it was for lol #sorry it took me so long to answer #i opened it and then forgot ough #deliveries

[courier-sux]

do u ever get a comment on a fic thats just so sweet that ur like Maybe slaving over 24k of fanfiction was worth it for user SprinkleTrashcan2012 to leave a three paragraph comment

#YES. #rb

[courier-sux]

I regret not adding an “Other” option, but this is super interesting thus far! I’ve seen a couple people mention that it might vary by location, which is another idea I find intriguing.

Okay, now that polls are a thing I have a random question regarding the mutated creatures (Geckos, Deathclaws, Radroaches, etc.) in Fallout. This does NOT apply to creatures who have no mutated version (like coyotes). Feel free to elaborate in the notes.

#didn’t think of that! #polls are fun #rb
