[ SKIN BONE SINEW ]

good luck!

more arcade doodles... i wanna draw my courier properly with him but i always end up just getting distracted by drawing him mostly😭 my bitch scientist wife that i love

imagine top surgery in the fallout universe

your options are like

a guy named sawbones jones living in a tent outside a radiation spill, claims he has performed the surgery once and that in general most of his patients survive

a robot named SURGBOT1778-C that hasn’t been turned on in 167 years at a medical research facility that had seventeen different scandals for inhumane treatment of staff and clients

he doesn't look a thing like jesus

(full version on my patreon. STRICTLY 18+)

Arcade’s only sin is the sin of being born and I don’t think anyone can get it right when they write him.

Can you imagine the hatred? The disgust? Do you think that when he passes by mirrors and catches his own reflection he thinks “Innocent people died so I could be born” or “I am named after an idea of paradise that would cause the slaughter of thousands”? Does he feel guilt, this man who had to privilege of not having to go hungry, of being able to grow and tower over regular wastelanders? Does he consider the fact he was born of years of love and hate? That he was bred to be a fervent nationalist? Does he miss Navarro and then realize with disgust that had it not been destroyed he would’ve become the very thing he fights tooth and nail against?

And he simplifies it. He dumbs it down in his head and tries to save himself the sheer horror that the people he misses so dearly, his father, his mother, would’ve probably wanted him to mercilessly kill the very people he treats. He says to the courier “They did bad things. Kidnapped people, terrorized settlements.” But is that really it? No. But the thought that his parents named him, this tall man who used to be a child (that, had fate not changed, would’ve grown to be a soldier or a scientist hellbent on “purifying the wasteland”), after a paradise that would’ve brought about the destruction of thousands of good people must be a bone-chilling notion.

People don’t write him with the guilt of knowing what he was born to do. And they don’t write him with the pride of knowing that he defied it and works to better the wasteland all around him, to fix his nation’s mistakes.

He laughed.

How Much Territory Are the Fallout Player Characters Actually Micromanaging: An Analysis

I did some amateur research to figure out which of the Fallout protagonists (specifically 3, NV, and 4) have a reasonable area of land to constantly traverse. I used Apple Maps to find the straightest possible walking path from a point on either end of the game map, then multiplied the north-south and east-west figures to get an approximate square mileage. Since none of the walking paths were completely straight, these numbers will all be a little higher than actual. BUT the game maps also don’t completely correlate to the real-life locations, so consider these numbers to be estimates.

The Commonwealth: Around 600 square miles. This is honestly pretty manageable, especially if you’re teleporting or helicoptering all over the place. It would be exhausting, but you could theoretically get across the map in a day with time to spare for questing.

The Capital Wasteland: Around 800 square miles. Fairfax is the halfway point; very few locations on the western half of the map actually correspond to anything in real life. The exception is the cavern Little Lamplight is based on, which would make the game map 100 miles long. The map definitely doesn’t extend that far into Virginia.

New Vegas: Kind of hard to calculate at this scale, but we’re looking at a little under 3000 square miles! Through. the Mojave. Desert. The Courier is really going to have to commit to a course of action before traveling, because they won’t be coming back for about a week.

If you’re a fanfic writer, remember that you don’t owe realism to anyone. BUT, if realism is something you care about for your writing, keep these distances in mind!

Happy Get-Shot-in-The-Head Day!

On this day in history, you will be shot in the head!

Back in the Saddle 😎🤙🏼

Don’t shoot the messenger, they’re bound to shoot back.

(Introducing my Courier Six: Rose Ryder)

moriarty — cottonflower

i ain't nothing but a lonely rider i do not know who is right, who is wrong sing this song for you to sing when i'm gone

my courier oscar sees himself as a very ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances, surrounded by one of a kind, exceptional people. it's a burden and a marvel for him to decide their fates. arcade’s very special too, even if he’s been trapped in mundanity for most of his life. his fate is yet to be decided

Six: Man Arcade, this RadAway stuff works wonders but it tastes terrible.

Arcade, slowly turning towards Six with bloodshot eyes: It What?

Love when Arcade speaks Latin or uses complicated science words, like yeah man, confuse my ass.

pinups are still a thing in the wasteland right

heartbroken

this Courier is a Benny apologist

Arcade is not

god bless america!!! USA! USA! USA!!!!!

yeah i don't have anything to say about this one guys

Me when ghoul: 😋

It was only so long until I drew my forgetful courier. This is Fibern. I think making their scar dumb and noticeable is funny. But because of the injury he doesn’t remember a lot of things from before. Not necessarily dumb, just a really confused dude, give him a minute to recollect himself. Also the biggest fan of laser weapons, only uses a laser rifle and hoards micro fusion cells.

I know I said I would explain my courier’s relationship with my self-insert, but this is basically what it is:

Fibern is Finn’s cousin turned parental guardian. But Fibern couldn’t entirely recall Finn’s existence after Benny tried to unalive him.

Sketch and background-less undercut

there they go off to cause havoc

characters in order are:

$u$an from @dont-stoevsky

Dirt from @th1rt33n

and Jane, who is a character from yours truly

hehe funky fallout couriers

Raul my beloved <3

I think Arcade is really stiff when you try to hug him until you've been traveling together long enough that he finally tells the whole truth about his father and the Enclave and then numbly lets you pull him into your arms and hold him, keeping him rooted to the here and now as he squeezes his eyes shut against the tide of memory.

the thing about fallout new vegas is that you will see 3 enemy pins on your compass moving all jittery and you will be like aw man i hope its not cazadores but it will always be cazadores, every god damn time

Has the New Vegas Strip ever looked so fabulous?✨
