Tbh I feel like a lot of people who believe Lucy and Cooper will have a dad-daughter relationship are just placing the Joel-Ellie filter on them because they're another male-female apocalyptic duo and aren't actually considering the characters and where they are in their lives right now. Cooper didn't lose a daughter like Joel did. He has one, who he's currently looking for. There's no daughter-shaped crater in him that needs to be healed. As for Lucy, unlike Ellie, she isn't in need of a father figure in her life. She has a dad, who she had a great relationship with up until the truth was revealed. She is a well adjusted girlie, no daddy issues present. If anything, it's her mother that's the sore spot. Especially considering the fate she had.

#now since i ship ghoulcy i obviously don't see them a father & daughter #but just by looking at them individually #looking at their psyche their lives #you can get a good grasp on who they are #and how they'll interact #and i genuinely don't believe it's going to be in the parent-child sense #lucy maclean #cooper howard #ghoulcy #vaultghoul #fallout #fallout show #fallout tv series #ella purnell #walton goggins

Cooper *points a gun at her*

Lucy: Hello again *Smile*

I just love her, she's so precious

[starliteonearth]

GOD They are literally "I can make him better" and "I can make her worse".

i'm committed to not getting involved in any ship discourse,

but here are a few things i want to point out:

maximus is the main character along with cooper and lucy. his leading role doesn't depend on his romance with lucy. to say that we must ship max with lucy or else we'd be "erasing" him is to reduce maximus to a love interest.

no one says max is boring. people say that max and lucy's romance is bland and not necessarily engaging as a romance. but we don't want an exciting dynamic only for lucy, we want an exciting dynamic for max as well. that is why a lot of people ship max with dane.

max x dane is a great and rare rep, especially in scifi. as an enby myself, i was pleasantly surprised by fallout having an enby character and i hope that dane's role will expand in s2. the show giving the enby character a romantic dynamic with the main would mean a lot to me personally, tbh.

fallout is not a pure morality manual. it's the freaky series for the freaks. if people shipping lucy with the ghoul makes you uncomfortable, then maybe you shouldn't be watching such a show to begin with. there is plenty of puritan-friendly content out there for you.

lastly, this is for the vaultghoul shippers. again, believe me as i'm speaking from my and many others' experience, engaging with the antis is a futile business, you'd be giving them what they want. just block them on sight. don't pay any mind to their bs and just engage with your side of the fandom. that will ensure your experience there being fun and pleasant and also the general/casual fans not finding you annoying.

freaks lol

What's the point of making Cooper a cannibal if they're not going to do Hannigram levels of metaphors and subtext?

[starliteonearth]

[starliteonearth]

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

[starliteonearth]

Rewatching the show and Ghoulcy's first meeting is genuinely so funny because my good sis was basically just yapping and Cooper just let her 😭 She's so lucky she had those big bambi eyes to distract him with because otherwise he would've shot her pretty little ass on sight lol.

I know it's unlikely but if the writers actually have the fucking balls to do Ghoulcy, I will do a backflip into a volcano.

#listen if a woman can get with a fishman #and a man can get with everyone's favorite sentient slime #why can't a gal get with a ghoul 🤨 #lmao that reminded me of monster high #fallout 2: why do ghouls fall in love #ghoulcy #vaultghoul #coop #cooper x lucy #fallout #fallout show #fallout tv series #fallout prime #fallout series #ella purnell #walton goggins

it's really hilarious to see ppl get mad at lucy x cooper being shipped bc it's "wrong" when lucy literally "fooled around" with her cousin...

and like, even if the show doesn't intend to actually make lucy x the ghoul explore each other's bodies, all those scenes with them were intentionally framed in a way that made their interactions look spicy and racy.

this show is freaky, it is for the freaks and i genuinely can't imagine how are the anti-freaks going to enjoy it at all. go watch bridgerton instead maybe?

as for maximus, his role as a main doesn't depend on whether or not he is lucy's love interest, he is a main in his own right just like lucy and cooper are. also, it's weird that ppl don't see how max x dane could be a great representation, far better than max x lucy.

anyways, here is a word of advice to vaultghoul shippers who might be new to the "controversial" ships:

just ignore the antis. simply block them. there is no point in arguing and reasoning with them. they just want to be the puritan moral police wielding their discourse sword. a shipper's time is better spent engaging with & creating the fancontent instead of explaining their right to ship.

Lucy: *out of breath*

The Ghoul: Where the hell were you?

Lucy: I just met some people. And….

The Ghoul: Don’t you dare say it.

Lucy:

Lucy: Another settlement needs our help-

The Ghoul: NO THEY DON’T! STOP TALKING TO PEOPLE, GODDAMN IT!

[starliteonearth]

that last scene of the ghoul, lucy and dogmeat going off to the adventures is EVERYTHING to me, it's my ROMAN EMPIRE! so many possibilities, so much potential! IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE, I NEED THEM BACK SO BAD!

[starliteonearth]

the symptoms are worsening

i love the righteous ethicist™ lucy but man, i want to see her break down really bad, go into a veeery dark place and then go absolutely rogue, and i just want to see how cooper reacts to and handles the situation and how it will impact their relationship and character development. it could be so so so freakingly good!
