"I thought, then, about the last thing that jutted through my mind, before the light was gutted out and I woke from an awful dream in a killer's body: I wanted to tell him that all lives are the same length when viewed from the foreshortened perspective of death and that life, like music, requires no meaning but only a certain symmetry.

I believed, then, that Foster was my symmetry."

I read Keith Laumers "A Trace of Memory" and wanted more book. So, I wrote some.

Hi hi !! uhhh i posted my first fic to AO3 based on a 52 y/o book nearly no one else’s read. It’s not too long, but i plan on writing more soon. Lemme know what you think !!

I’m actually losing my mind

[beentobeetle]

We will survive. There is still hope

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

[beentobeetle]

This is all Jam is to me btw (original under cut)

[beentobeetle]

Buttons belongs to @galoogamelady !!

[beentobeetle]

I started playing Fallout 3 and I decided to doodle my Lone Wanderer, Jam! Losercore 19 y/o keeps getting the shit beat out of him in DC, but he stays silly

(I HATE DRAWING PIPBOYS OH MY GOD IM NOT EVEN GONNA TRY. If I draw him more detailed and you don’t see a Pip-boy DONT SAY ANYTHING THEYRE SO STUPIDLY HARD TO DRAW JESUS CHRRIIIISSSTT)

[beentobeetle]

They are the most I’ve ever seen!

[beentobeetle]

As much as FO3 kinda. sucks. as a game, Charon is still really fun, and I love my little ‘glass-half-full’ everything-is-awesome 19 y/o that’s just seeing anything and everything for the first time lone wanderer. Absolute dream team.

what's six's relationship with the companions? :00

(Ignore me answering this 20 billions years later)

All around, Six’s relationships with all the companions are relatively good, down the line at least! It takes Six quite some time to warm up to people, and he’s naturally a decently quiet person. Most automatically view him as awkward, or intimidating, on something along those lines, especially with his reputation as “That Spooky Courier”.

But getting into specifics! Six’s dynamical change with Arcade and Boone goes hand-in-hand because they’re the first two he travels with, and his personal subconscious favorites. To Arcade, Six is this big stupid maniac who, while trying to be a good person most of the time, goes about it… unique ways. Boone sees him as an idiot, but a strong one. Smart and big when it’s needed. Boone very much appreciates Six’s bouts of silence.

It’s all quite different near the beginning though! Six travels with the two of them at the same time and they are both uh. confused, for the most part, just in different ways. There’s this tension, mostly with Boone and Arcade towards Six, because he’s just so… off. This is before he ever starts taking his helmet off, so he’s just the quiet, faceless wanderer. Unpredictable, vengeful, and fucking terrifying at times. Easiest explanation? Whatever this is

Moving on, though, to Lily! Pretty well-expected, he sees her as his little grandma and is VIOLENTLY protective of her. Buuuttt there’s a very slight sense of ‘selfish’ or ‘wrong’ calculation beneath it. Lily is a nightkin, she’s strong, she can kill. An effective attack dog, when it’s needed. As much as Six values and cares for Lily as her own character, he is well aware that she is a TANK, and… might as well take advantage of that, right?

And then there’s Raul and Cass! Again, the relationship between the three goes pretty hand-in-hand. Six sees them as effective assets and wildly entertaining drinking buddies, even at the beginning. He appreciates Raul’s old-timer, sardonic but just chipper enough grandpa attitude, and very much likes Cass for being, well… Cass.

Aaannd Veronica!! At first, Six sees her as naive and far too in-over-her-head. Over time, though, he notices his shell starting to break. For whatever reason, Veronica is scarily good at cracking the walls Six usually builds around himself. Over time, they develop this really silly brother/sister dynamic.

And, of course, Rex and ED-E. He loves both of them to death. Most any animals automatically melt Six’s heart, and he’s always had a soft spot for robots. And after the events of Lonesome Road? Good lord. That was something that really hit Six, in a way not many situations would. While maybe not entirely true, Six gladly states that Rex and ED-E are his favorites to travel with. “They don’t complain about eating pork-n-beans for a week straight.”

While a couple of these relationships are likely far more complex than I’m putting them, those feel like posts for other days !! But uhhh ty ty for the question, and sorry it took my so long to answer it FJFJDBFJSJD I wanted to actually draw something for it but I’ve been in the weirdest art slump lately… glad i remember how to draw Six!

As always, if anyone has any questions… holds out hands… I’ll try not to answer it after a lifetime….
