God do you ever think about how they call Shaun "Father" because he is the source of the DNA for the synths

Do you ever think about the fact that he calls you "Mother" or "Father" not because of any emotional connection or affection he feels for you, not because those words truly have meaning to him, but as a descriptor, because he sees you the same way, as a source of DNA

About some questionably canon lore details, in the vault dweller's survival guide for fo4 it says Fahrenheit is Hancock's main squeeze, but in the game files she's listed as his daughter. Do you think either are true, and if so, how would she react to Hancock and the Sole Survivor getting it on?

I totally forgot about this fact, but I'd love to discuss. As to the first part of your question:

I'll be real honest, when I first read the "main squeeze" thing, I thought "huh, that's...not gonna be my headcanon".

For one, I think the idea of John having a "main squeeze" when he's a romanceable companion is silly. I know he has that line when he speaks to NPCs about having a partner you don't run around on once you romance him, implying he's been unfaithful to partners in the past, but I don't think most people want to have to steal their in-game lover from someone else. Maybe for specific character builds/backstories, but not as a forced option. Even if they're, say, an open couple or something less committed, he's very clearly primarily enamored with the Sole Survivor by the time you max out his affinity. He never leaves your side if you allow him to stay around.

When I saw the daughter thing, I thought it made more sense than the girlfriend thing, but I'm not crazy about that, either. Maybe a "found" daughter, but not a biological one. I'll admit that's more of a personal preference, though. It's certainly possible. I'd accept the idea of Fahr being his actual daughter if he'd abandoned her as a baby or before she was born and they'd reconnected when she was an adult. John being a consistent presence in a child's life all the way through adulthood, despite his intense struggles with addiction/homelessness/identity crisis/ghoulification/prejudice/etc. is not realistic, if you ask me. He fully admits that he's always been more of a "cut and run" kind of guy. Unborn babies are especially easy to cut and run on if you're the sperm donor.

He also doesn't hold a grudge against you if you end up siding with Bobbi No-Nose at the end of "The Big Dig" and Fahrenheit dies in the ensuing fight. He makes you pay 1,000 caps in what is essentially restitution and kill Bobbi if you want him as a companion, but aren't you, like, equally at fault for Fahr's death? The fact that he doesn't hold it against you seems to indicate that she isn't really all THAT important to him at the end of the day, no? Maybe more like a favorite employee than anything. You wouldn't so easily forgive the death of a partner or a child. The Hancock you meet certainly wouldn't take you getting one of his loved ones killed on the chin like that. If she were really important to him, you'd think causing her death would make him unrecruitable, or that you'd at least have to jump through a lot more hoops to earn his forgiveness. 1,000 caps isn't even that many in Fallout 4. It's definitely not a lot to John under his current circumstances.

As for the second part:

If she were his "main squeeze", I'm sure she'd be fairly indifferent early on. Like I said, it's clear Hancock isn't a faithful romantic/sexual partner before his time with the Sole Survivor. Maybe they're an open couple and she also has other people she sees. However, I think that if she and him were previously close enough that she was his primary lady friend, it would certainly catch her attention if that felt like it were no longer the case. I think anyone would start to feel a little jealous or insecure if they felt like they'd been replaced or "demoted". Maybe he'd even break up with her eventually. Honestly, I can see her being angry towards the Sole Survivor at first, but she strikes me as someone who wouldn't let a breakup destroy her or hinder her much. It might really impact the relationship between her and John, but personally she would be okay.

If she were his daughter, I think she'd be much more immediately jealous, but also weirded out by her own jealousy. She doesn't strike me as someone who's vulnerable enough with their emotions or honest enough with themselves to get to the real root of the issue when something bothers them most of the time. When she sees you hanging out with her dad, knowing you guys are dating and getting closer every day, it makes her feel insecure about her place in his life. That insecurity is often directed towards you in the form of passive-aggressive anger, but it's not about you. What she's really upset about is worrying she'll lose access to/time with a father she hasn't even known all that long, that he might forget about her or abandon her again. It'd be really important for John to reaffirm their relationship to her/make time for her.
