No, cause the Hoover Dam scene is all haha silly until you realize that it’s a group of preteens and teenagers coping with the trauma of watching their friend die, and KNOWING that someone else may be next.

NOT TO MENTION, Percy thinking it’s his fault because he went on that quest. LIKE LIKE, it’s funny? It’s funny right??? Until it’s not and now your just sitting there crying…

Hoover Dam, April 1935. Rising water in the new lake had not yet reached the base of the dam's intake towers.

Two captions have been found for this photo:

Repostober 18

Technically Repostober because I've posted all these before individually. But now they're all together in the wall hanging!

Some discussion under the readmore for those interested in why it's laid out the way it is

An important thing to note: These blocks were made as I felt like making them; there was no grand design at the start. However, now that I have 9 of them? There is absolutely a scheme to the layout.

Top row: Hoover Dam (FNV location); Benny (FNV); Landlocked Lighthouse (FO76 location)

Middle row: Rocketship from “Come Fly With Me” FNV quest; Fallout Nuka Cola Quantum and Perfectly Preserved Pie, foods; Vault Dwellers leaving their Vault (probably FO76 since that’s actually got forests nearby)

Bottom row: Dinky the Dinosaur (FNV location); Mothman (FO76); Giant Teapot (FO76 location)

Alternately:

Left column is entirely FNV; right column is entirely FO76; middle column are iconic characters/items.

The four corners of the layout are all locations. On the left, FNV; on the right, FO76.

The top and bottom centers are iconic and generally favorite characters of FNV and FO76: Benny and the Mothman (which sounds like a children’s book or movie, doesn’t it?)

The left and right on the center row are almost mirror images: green around a black center; black around a green and blue center.

The center block is the only one with consumables and the only one with Vault-Tec colors (blue and yellow). Nuka-Cola Quantum first appeared in Fallout 3 and has been in every game since. Perfectly Preserved Pie first appeared in Fallout 4 and also appears in Fallout 76.

The top locations (Hoover Dam, Lighthouse) are notable and highly visible locations.

The bottom locations (Dinky, Teapot) are notable and very kitschy, unique, tourist-related locations.

What’s interesting about the Donald F. Flynn crypt at Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in the Chicago suburb of Hillsdale is that at a casual glance, you may assume it was built during the #ArtDeco period. Mr. Flynn did not pass until 2011 & seems to be the only occupant. The angels took great inspiration from the Hoover Dam angels [examples here if you swipe through]. Flynn crypt photo from an anonymous contributor on findagrave.com . The Hoover Dam Angels photos have been taken by me through the years.

Also, the Flynn crypt angels look like they were created by the person that came up with the look for the Little Sisters in the Bioshock & Bioshock 2 game.
