Some more analysis of the Fallout OC Census data!
For these charts, I didn't include characters who are from multiple games or the Fallout universe in general, and for simplicity's sake I grouped the one BoS Initiate in with the Tactics Warriors as is my tradition.
Aside: However, unless the character has undergone major revisions, the Initiate my last survey picked up is not the same as the one in this dataset, so they're not as alone as they may seem!
Alsooo, you may want to take the Van Buren data with a pinch of salt this time around, because I royally skewed it with my own OCs...

I meant to reblog a post and add some thoughts to it but I can't find the post so instead:
It's kind of nuts how we as a society write off other creatures' autonomy (including our own children, which is what that other post was discussing)
I have two small dogs and people inevitably tell me how good they are. They're very calm and friendly, they love pets, they'll deign to be held without a fuss.
And while I could consider myself lucky to find two good boys in the shelter, I think it's mostly that they get a lot of say in the household. They're not reactive because they feel safe and secure, and they trust that the giant hairless apes will not only not hurt them, but that any unpleasant interaction is for their own good (ie, giving them a pill, grooming, etc). I remember the conversation I had with the Husband after he scooted a snarling 10 lb fluffball out of his seat with his butt - he felt it should be obvious that he was trying to sit down, I explained the dogs like it when you ask them to move. And they do - Tavish might glare at you, but he doesn't growl if you tell him you're sitting down and he needs to scoot over, and he might even get up and move himself.
It makes me think about my childhood as a second generation immigrant with a particularly narcissistic mom and how I had to unlearn a lot of defensive shit after I moved out. How even now I have a lot of difficulty being aware of my own discomfort and how asking for help either doesn't cross my mind or does and gets swamped with feelings of guilt for daring to inconvenience someone else. It's not other people - some of my friends in medical school were aghast to hear about how I suffered quietly through my divorce. They wanted to help - I just have trouble believing that I deserve it, because when have my needs and wants ever mattered, anyway?

I’m so sorry that the twelve year old pick mes have found your blog. I love how they think that you’re the pathetic one for having a chat about stuff you love when they are spending all their time obsessing over being nasty to strangers on the internet. I’m assuming that only a twelve year old would think that having a male partner is some kind of triumph. Everyone older than that knows that d1ck is abundant and of low value ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A 12 year old, or maybe a man? As sad as that would be, it's kind of depressingly familiar.
But if these messages are coming from a grown woman who truly judges the worth of women based on how physically attractive they are to men...?? Well, that's just tragic.

What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.
The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.
The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.
The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.
The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.
So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner
