Felicity is like an old friend, but also like relating to my child-self. Her Story Collection was the first full book series I ever read and I fell in love! Felicity was also my first doll, so in honor of her birthday, here is my version of Lissie… a custom I adore.
Felicity or just Foxtrot is a ghoul code breaker and an intelligence officer for NCR.
I made her about a year ago as a adoptable oc but then ended up falling in love with her and keeping her. But who knows eventually I might sell her. (at least not before I draw her some more.)
Say happy birthday to Felicitous "Felicity" Buster!! She is 1 years old today, along with her 4 brothers Bakugou Katsuki (2nd to last photo), Richard Campbell Gansey III, Elias, and Oliver!! In celebration I am gifting you all pictures of my little bug!

The fashion nerd in me is utterly thrilled by Felicity’s summer dress. This style of lightweight white cotton dress was eventually referred to as a chemise à la reine, after Marie Antoinette was painted (and immediately hated for) wearing one.
This style only really became popular for adults in the 1780s, but in the 1770s, it was popular summer-time wear for girls.
There’s not a whole lot to say about Elizabeth’s dress, it’s again pretty accurate and appropriate for her social status.
The straw hats are not simply straw hats. The proper name for that style is bergère, or shepherdess. They were pretty essential outdoor wear for proper ladies who wanted to protect their fine pale complexions.

Finally, I kind of feel the need to address what’s the elephant in the room when it comes to Felicity:
Everyone was acting all horrified and outraged by this, but, well.... have I got news for you about middle-class white families in Virginia in 1774. It would be very inaccurate for them to not have slaves.
If we want to get technical, Felicity herself never actually owned slaves. Her father owned a couple of slaves, and her grandfather owned a plantation. When her grandfather died, the plantation would have gone to her father, and then down to her little brother, William. Felicity likely would have grown up to marry a man who owned slaves, but she still wouldn’t own them outright herself. All that being said, there were special no-male-heir circumstances in which women could inherit property, and there absolutely were woman slave-owners out there.
Slavery is a part of American history and honestly it does us more of a disservice if we try to cover it up. The fact that Felicity’s family owns slaves is a great chance to teach kids about the big, messy questions of history. Kids are smart and capable of understanding complex historical issues. They deserve to know this kind of shit.
A word to the wise, it doesn't matter how chill a guy may be. They could be the chillest, kindest, most shirt-off-their-back kind of person, but like anyone else, they have a limit. And there are few things more terrifying than when that person finally hits that limit.
Especially if they're a mellow space dinosaur and they caught wind of you slandering their slug BFF/Confidant/It's Complicated. You might as well go shopping for a coffin before they and their tagalong lizard-monkey-gremlin figure out where you live.
So...one post ago, I brought up a great upcoming indie project known as @latgbg (btw, you outta support it to when the time comes), and how I was going to do a fanart of it very soon. Well, a promise is a promise.
Seriously though, I can't emphasize enough how adorable Siona and Davin are when @starteas draws them together. A "sensitive and spunky" pair where one half is a good-natured reptile AND the sensitive one? Sign me the heck up!
As always, enjoy and let me know what you think! And here’s the link to the sign-up to the show’s Backerkit for those interested: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/c83f9df0-a826-4a9c-9430-1360b99dbb2d/landing

Bloodmoon: More
Bloodmoon was literally programmed and created with the urge to kill. He has this insatiable bloodlust, and it never seems to be sated. He hurts people for fun, he enjoys tormenting others, and he's actually wiped out an entire town. He's killed an entire daycare’s worth of kids, and he kills indiscriminately. Doesn't matter if it's the elderly, men, women, children, the rich, or the homeless; if they cross his path, they're dead.
Felicity:
She was the wife of a scav (moon bandit). She helps you kill him. She then tried to kill you because Jack tries to turn her into a robot production machine. She fails to kill you but goes in to make mass ammounts of killer robots who become more sentient once Jack dies. She's soooo done with living peoples shit and would love the freedom to be an ai that doesn't have the follow orders.
