Okay ya'll, hear me out...

This song is Cooper and Lucy.

It all makes sense now.

Lucy and the Ghoul really are Beauty and the Beast, huh? A handsome man who once lived in luxury is cursed to live as a hideous creature? Check. A beautiful curious woman who is warned not to be deceived by appearances? Check. Oh, and do you remember why Beauty left her small village, ventured into the dangerous forest and ended up in the Beast's castle? She had to find her dad.

It's such a modern spin on the trope. Because the Ghoul doesn't welcome her lavishly with food on the table and clothes in the closet. No, he puts her to the test. And yet she doesn't yield. If anything, her humanity shines through and illuminates his in turn.

Cooper tries to get Lucy to break her rule and become like him only for it to backfire and remind himself of who he once was.

“Golden rule, motherfucker.”

What I noticed about Cooper is that in his most vulnerable moments, he has his back turned toward Lucy. Is it out of misplaced vanity? Barb did imply he was vain once. He generally avoids looking directly at Lucy. And when he does, he has this perplexed expression. What does he see? His past self, perhaps. Ideals and values long gone. At the same time, you'd think the Ghoul would be good at hiding his true self after 200+ years. You'd think an actor like him would be good at playing the role. But, no, his weathered face is not enough of a mask. He still needs to turn away.

Frankly, to be honest, I can see why people wanna ship Lucy with the Ghoul besides the whole monster-fucking appeal. Why would I wanna ship the best girl with a guy who talks about dicks like they're popped pimples when I can ship her with the guy who wears her finger? Sorry, but the so-called "sexual tension" between Lucy and Fake Titus leaves me drier than a desert waste land. Heck, Lucy even had more chemistry with her brother and cousin than with Fake Titus and I don't even ship incest. Just my two cents.

Oh man, Anon, your finger comment just about killed me, but it's so true!! 😂

A girl and her ghoul is a tale as old as time, and I will enjoy the amazing works put out by others while trying to contribute myself in the near future.

This ship sails itself.

Lucy's name meaning "light" makes me go a little crazy. She is the light that will guide The Ghoul out of the darkness. No wonder he sometimes can't even face her. She shines so bright.

i need season 2 to start with lucy getting a new fit.

not only does she need something that doesn't scream "hey look at me im FROM A VAULT!!" but like the MEANING behind shedding the vault suit not just for "real" clothes, but clothes she picked herself????

bonus points for a hair cut or a ponytail that becomes the new look™️

Reblogging to include this awesome comment by @dawllick

OH all of this 💕💕💕💕

Forgive me for adding on but with Max and Lucy, the relationship feels a little superficial. Not in looks per say but, Lucy wants to go back home where people are kind and safe. Maximus wants to be love and treated right.

Max is kind and helpful to Lucy, and she is kind without reason back to him. They have a idealized version of the other that they are holding onto. It’s not the whole person, it takes time for them to even bring up a few of the wrongs they have committed. I don’t think they have the whole picture of each other.

Cooper has been around for a good hot minute. He knows who he is as a person, he knows the things he has done. And spending time with Lucy and he tells her that she is just like him, just give it time.

Cooper does not give himself false hope, he does not hold people in a high regard. But here’s Lucy. A doe eyed woman, who reminds him of himself before. She is subjected to horribleness and cruelty of the wastelands and himself.

She has the opportunity to leave him to go feral, she has the opportunity to kill him, MULTIPLE times, but she doesn’t!!!!!! Lucy adapts, and she doesn’t let go of her kindness in the face of hurt.

Lucy is ‘Do no harm but take no shit’.

Also, I think if they were to do the found family thing, there would have been flashbacks with parallels of Lucy and Janey.

Anyways, I think it’s possible that it’s Max x Lucy for now, but when they reunite, she is not going to be the same person. Same with Max being in the brotherhood.

((Also if I’m wrong on any of this please be gentle w/ me I binged the show and never played the games and it’s speculation))

Dang it, I love this ship and I love the enemies to lovers trope. I get that a lot of people see them as a surrogate father and daughter relationship, but it feels like a been there/done that kinda thing.

As much as I love that trope, I'm also a little tired of it. There's only so much Last of Us style found family I take after seeing it for so many years.

The thing I love about VaultGhoul or Ghoulcy is the idea of Lucy breaking down of Cooper's walls while he helps build hers up.

Is he incredibly cruel to her and those around him in the first season? Yes, extremely

Does he need to chill out and find some of his humanity that's been buried under 200+ years of wasteland survival and bitterness? Yes

Who can bring that needed direction to his life while learning the ways of the new world she finds herself in? Lucy MacLean

I know that the canon ship of the show at this moment is Lucy and Maximus, and as much as I love him, I find the pairing obvious and kind of boring from a story telling perspective. I loved it on my first viewing, but upon re-watching the series, I wasn't as behind it as before. I see their relationship, kiss and all, as a kind of first fling for the both of them.

While it doesn't diminish the care they show one another, there's not a lot behind them as a couple. Now I know that some people might turn around to say how she and Cooper spent less time together than her and Max, but I guess the thing I look forward to is seeing what their relationship brings with the second season.

I feel like Max and Lucy will have a great friendship and I'm interested to see where the Brotherhood fits into their dynamic as well.

With Cooper though, I find his story so tragic, as it's supposed to be. He's your standard hardened survivor who only looks out for himself that's now stuck with the happy-go-lucky main character, however, she's not that character anymore by the end. She's still going to be the Lucy we love, but she's changed by the end. While not losing her compassion and some optimism, I think Cooper is going to bring out a harsher side to her as we saw when she bit off his finger.

I want to see her building up her walls and learning when to let them down. How to truly survive while still bringing her own energy to the wasteland and people around her. I want to see Cooper regaining some lost humanity while learning to truly care for another person again. To see the two of them as eventual equals in one another's eyes as they continue on their journey as reluctant allies.

I also want to say that I'm personally kind of tired of the 'age gap' argument. We have stories of teenagers falling in love with hundred year old vampires. So can we just drop the age gap thing?

As long as they're both consenting adults who understand what they're getting themselves into, who cares about an age gap.

Does it truly matter in the scheme of things when we're talking about a world with cryo-stasis and super mutants?

I personally don't think so.

I don't know if anyone will even bother reading this entire thing, and I know I went on a little long, but I wanted to write down my thoughts on the whole shipping situation with the Fallout TV show fandom at this moment.

I'm a VaultGhoul shipper and I can't wait to see where the second season takes our main trio of characters.

Lucy: Look what I put on dog meat!

The ghoul looks down to see dog meat in raiders armor

The Ghoul: *sighs* But why?

Lucy: Because she needs protection! Plus she looks adorable! Doesn’t she?

The Ghoul:

The Ghoul: Okay she does look pretty damn adorable.
