#Fallout 4 fauna

Another fallout horse concept I tried thinking about how they would be used and I have so many more ideas

FALLOUTOBER DAY 2: LITTLE FISH

[So I misread the prompt as ‘big fish’ and only just realised my mistake as I am making this post aaaaaaa]

When you walk into bunker hill for the first time, you will overhear two traders discussing ol’ Peg, the ghoul whale! I’ve always loved that conversation and its implications for the ocean at large in fallout.

food in the wasteland

this post is inspired by @newvegascowboy 's post on food in the wasteland (go check it out if you haven't read it, its wonderful), and it got me thinking, much of the world in fallout has one characteristic, in one way or another, there is always some group grasping onto the past, and i wondered how that could affect food

lots of folks hold recipes and family tradition close, and at the end of the world that's all some folks have, and with that thought i started wondering how culture would affect food and food would affect culture

a couple notes first, if yall will humour me

i wont be covering fallout 76 or prime (for now) as i have next to no knowledge of them

the Nuka world dlc will get its own post because of unique circumstance within the setting

this wont be all encompassing, it is a collection of thoughts and notes (which yall can use as a basis for any ideas)

yall are wonderful and enjoy

vibes of the food

hardy food, mostly local with a lot of proteins and carbs, stuff that lasts, especially through the winter. diamond city and goodneighbour have more high end food, good cuts of beef, venison and even deathclaw are found in the markets, takashi toils over hardy broths and succulent mirelurk paired with glowing fungus, fresh breads and high end cooking, down south and along the coast, theres lots of fish and mirelurk on the menu, small house gardens, while to the north there are many orchards, and fields, small by prewar status but mind blowing to folks who come from dc way, central boston is home to more merging of the local diets, but much more pre-war food, folks scrounge for food more than grow it. the food is almost reminiscent of the colonial days, lots of dried or canned goods

food vibes very hearty but humble, lots of seafood, meat heavy meals are meant for special occasions, salted foods are common, lots of preserved foods, very dense foods, very filling, typical of a town where you have to worry about fish people and ancient sea gods, it is the food of people who think that an easy week is half a day off after a full 50 hour work week, imported foods like mutfruit jam is saved for the guests kinda food

food vibes western-new mexico, the strip has more high end food but most of the mojave has more rural staples, very flavourful, kinda ranch food, keeps you going all day and makes you glad to come home, really homecooked vibes, lots of variations, like never ask for a recipe in a crowded room cause it will start a fight over whose grandma had the better recipe, lots of meat and vegetables, very little fish, not a lot of "pickyness" over food

food vibes not highly intricate but somehow nostalgic, very traditional indigenous, simple in an uncomplicated way not a bad way, some of the best quality ingredients around, clean food and clean water, smoky flavors, food isn't meant to be showy or fancy, its meant to leave you full and happy as you spend time with family, its meant to be honored and not wasted

food vibes very diverse, lots of regional staples, San Francisco has lots of seafood while towns like Modoc have mostly brahmin meat and veg, Klamath has gecko, its very locale dependent ¨(out of character, fallout 1-2 is super bleak and sparse) food is often a matter of survival more than fancy, with the exemption of larger settlements and cities where imports are available and you can afford to experiment with food

[breadandblankets]

here's something no one asked for: bats fallout 4 au

cass: made as an institute courser and the best of the best with a perfect clear record until she was ordered to execute a traitor and she bounced, she drifts for years anywhere and everywhere, eventually ending up in goodneighbor and through Coincidences into the office of one Barbara Gordon

babs: a doctor in goodneighbor specializing in human/machine interface and neurobiology, aka railroad agent oracle she and her partner Dinah run the memory den, part therapeutic establishment part front for synth liberation activities Babs helps deprogram synths and let them lead normal lives

Jason: he was taken into bruce's vault after his parents died, he was born human but turned into a ghoul thanks to a near death experience and a radiation bath, by the time we meet him, he's a drifter blown into goodneighbor hiring out his services as a merc, steadily moving in organized crime through some maneuvering

duke: a psyker (kinda like the forecaster if you played NV), he has the ability to see into the future if he concentrates, however it leaves him with huge migraines, his parents went missing after a raider attack and he joins the minutemen (honestly what is more MM than WAR) to try and find them

steph: both she and her mom are prewar ghouls (all of the cluemaster stuff still happens but he doesn't survive the bombs in jail), they used to live in diamond city until all the ghouls got kicked out, they lived in goodneighbor for a time, with steph working at the local clinic, run by leslie, eventually they both moved north to the slog (a settlement run by ghouls in an old swimming pool) when crystal wanted to get clean, steph works there as basically the town doctor

tim: (spoilers for a ten year old game but:) kinda like synth shaun he is a permanently stuck at the age of like ten, still a tech genius but like.... litol (did I say this just cause I thought it was funny.... yes)

alfred: a fuckin mr handy

bruce: vault dweller that imprinted on said mr handy like a duckling after his parents died

dick: you can literally keep his backstory intact and he makes perfect sense, haley circus is just from new vegas, after his parents murder he joined up with lyons pride and moved east with the brotherhood of steel, when the new elder rose to power after the lyons' death dick started to see the writing on the wall of fascism and jumped ship leaving that life behind, joining up with duke's new and improved MM to protect people from people he swore brotherhood to

damian: obv still bruce and talia's kid, talia is a pre war scientist and businesswoman, keeping herself and her half siblings alive and young as long as they keep their father and his weird artifact locked up. damian grows up in the closest thing to pre war luxury the post apocalypse has to offer. Eventually he wants to go out and see the world, meet his dad, write a guide to wasteland fauna. talia hires jason to guard him so he stops trying to rush down feral ghouls with a sword.

ROUND 2 MATCH 17

Nomi-Nomi propaganda:

“Most characters have at least one ending where the relationship ends for one reason or another but Nomi-Nomi doesn’t. They’ll stay by your side in any ending. They’re a geek who likes anime and video games. They’re obsessed with studying the flora and fauna of Vertumna so they can use it in their own stories. They’re demisexual. If Sol is nonbinary, they can exchange a secret nonbinary high five. (Which is a regular high five but you’re both nonbinary.)”

John propaganda:

“Sad beef jerky of a man with a sexy voice. He stabs a guy for being rude to you. He's cosplaying actual John Hancock. He's the town mayor that wants to leave and get shot at because he thinks he's getting too full of himself. He's also so, so sad and I need to hug him so bad.”

[kurosplace]

Ten thoughts about Fallout Season 2:

1. The Ghoul and Lucy's journey, and further development of their relationship. Looking forward to seeing how the Ghoul and Lucy's dynamic will play out.

2. Curious of Norm's fate. And learning more about the experiment connecting Vaults 31, 32 and 33.

3. Maximus dealing with becoming a true knight within the Brotherhood

4. Further backstory of the Ghoul and his experience straight after fleeing with Janey from the nuclear fallout

5. More variety in the Wasteland fauna - i.e. Deathclaws, super mutants, mirelurks, radscorpions, cazadors etc

6. The realisation of the New Vegas strip to screen. (Perhaps a mention of the Courier too?)

7. Introduction of Synths into the series

8. References to other factions such as the Institute and the Enclave

9. Following Hank and his narrative unfolding in New Vegas

10. More of the Ghoul

Polin Fic Recs - Polin vs Pebling

Evidently, I awoke this morning and chose chaos (aka tumblr ranting). Since I'm already knee-deep in the mud, might as well go all in. Here are my top fic recs for the "Pen marries Debling" AU.

Prepare for MAXIMUM ANGST.

These fics explore the fallout of Pen's regretful choice, featuring infidelity, heartbreak, and ultimately, a path towards healing and a Polin HEA (thank god).

Trigger Warning: Infidelity.

I'll be back to my usual fluff and sunshine soon, but sometimes a heavy dose of angst is a guilty pleasure of mine.

1. grieving for the living by itwasglorious Mature. Regency. Complete. 51,527 words. Pen marries Debling. Colin leaves and returns to London after 1 year. Lady Danbury is Team Polin and the MVP. Debling is absent and just not right for Pen. Polin HEA guaranteed, but it is torture getting there.

2. Secret Love Song by usuallysunny Explicit. Regency. Complete. 77,920 words. Pen marries Debling. Colin leaves and returns to London after 5 years. Debling is having his own regrets about marrying Pen. Violet gives both Colin and Pen an honest talking to. Colin helps Pen and together they find a HEA for all.

3. you're gonna break my heart tonight by the_strangest_person Explicit. Regency. Complete. 12,264 words Pen is engaged to Debling. Colin is feeling lots of angst. At the Pebling engagement ball, Colin begs Pen to marry him instead, but she will take some convincing.

4. Penelope married Debling by elhigd General audience. Regency. Complete. 4,132 words. Told from Debling's POV. Debling marries Pen and then leaves for two years to document flora and fauna. He returns to find his wife has had two chestnut haired babies in the meantime. I quite like Debling in this story, he is kind and sensible.

[ronqueesha]

re: the allergies/holidays/birthday/etc post you just reblogged, can we have a few little known facts about sarit, or iona? (or both if I'm very lucky)

Sure! (And thank you for letting me talk about my beloved characters)

A funny thing about Sarit and her long list of medical issues: she has no known allergies at all! Even the exotic allergies common in the settled systems from various alien flora and fauna that can debilitate many other people. Sarit's ravaged and painful lungs have no problem handling all known forms of alien pollen/dander/allergens you can think of.

She grew out her hair only once, in her teen years when she was still figuring herself out. But other than that, Sarit has kept the same haircut she had since she was that sickly little boy sitting behind a computer terminal while bedridden.

She LOVES chunks pumpkin pie. This is perplexing to others, especially Andreja, since it has the consistency and appearance of gelatinous orange poison.

She can control her mechanical prosthetic right arm wirelessly. It doesn't happen often, but she does have the ability to make her arm crawl to her using its fingers like a horrible metal spider.

Her birthday is September 14.

I mentioned it before, but my favorite comfort headcanon is that Sarit is distantly related to an alternate-universe version of my Fallout 4 OCs Zoe and Nathan Bhatia. In Starfield's universe, Zoe and Nathan were happily married in 2077 and lived happily ever after with their son Shaun. Shaun would go on to have a brilliant career in robotics and computers that would lay the foundation for the technology used in the settled systems. Shaun Bhatia is Sarit's great-great-great-great-great grandfather.

Over the course of the crusade, Iona found various ways (many of them very unethical) to taste the blood of her companions, and learned to identify each of them from taste alone.

Iona's birthday is the Pathfinder equivalent of August 27. (and naturally, that is also Saints Row Iona's birthday)

When Iona is bored during a long war council meeting, she will summon a servant to fetch her a mug of cow's blood she will loudly sip to signal her desire to end the meeting. If things continue against her wishes, she will send for a crazy bendy straw to loudly slurp up the last drops of blood from the mug.

Iona is very tall, one of the perks of being a dhampir. She inherited many of the positive traits of a full vampire, including the unearthly conventional beauty and a tall physique. She is a very slutty supermodel with supernatural powers over blood.

Despite having a mountain of kinks, one of Iona's semi-secret turn offs is receiving pain. She is very much not a masochist in bed, and prefers inflicting pain via her fangs or other sex toys her partner consents to using.

One of her favorite ways of flirting with Arueshalae is following a battle, the two of them will walk through the battlefield, over the corpses of their enemies to retrieve Arue's arrows. Arueshalae will pull each arrow out of the bodies of their foes and salaciously hand them to Iona so she can lewdly lick the blood off the blades of the weapons. This display often makes their fellow companions uncomfortable, if not queasy. The two of them often have to quickly retreat to the privacy of the commander's tent in the aftermath, with Iona's chin dripping with gore and Arue's bright red eyes flaring with desire.

Hey y’all

Hello and welcome, I just wanted to say thank you to all of y’all who’ve shown my art some love, y’all really brought a smile to my face

I also wanted to let y’all know my posting will remain spotty for a bit but fear not, when I return I’ll have some fresh art( ironically I’m in the process of revising my Brahmin lol)

I hope y’all are doing wonderful and I love y’all

[thefalloutwiki]

You each have an opportunity to add one type of flora/fauna to the setting, whether it lives in a place we’ve seen (mojave, commonwealth) or something you’ve imagined this area would be like (pacific northwest, florida) what critter/plant would you choose? 🫣

Answers below the cut!

Vance_Vampire: the Turkeys in 76 should really be in 4.

Findabair: Plant: Plectranthus scutellarioides, better known as Coleus. Critter: Capybara or Tapir

RurinGas: A very complicated question... Well, I'm naturally going to be a big ol shameless self-promoter and say that if I could add any Critter to the setting, it'd be a Kraken. I mean think about it, lots of the stuff that lives in the Mariana Trench already looks like a horribly irradiated monster, imagine how they'd look post radiation? The sea is probably the scariest place in-lore with all the weird stuff theres gotta be in there! Stuff that'd give a Deathclaw Nightmares!

V13Kobold: I'll be stereotypical here and say we need giant mutant snakes. Otherwise, I can't think of specific animals or plants I'd like to see.

MeatServo: I feel like mutated leeches are overdue on the east coast.

Rubbinmahbelly: Radmoose. Take a radstag but make it a moose. That fella would take out deathclaws no problem. Don't mess with moose.

NarratorJack: This is a interesing question, I suppose Cherry Trees since they're my favorite kind of tree. Sure it would be a bit out of place but surely some rich person from pre war times had at least one or two imported in lol

Rimuru_Mayhem: Tristerix aphyllus - it's a fascinating parasite that lives in cacti. Its seeds are dispersed by birds, and if a seed lands close enough to a viable cactus it will send out a feeler that lets it eventually invade the cactus' body. It has a stunning display of red flowers that burst from the cactus skin. Besides, I think the idea of something creeping inside and parasitizing you from the inside out is fascinating! Although it only occurs in certain parts of South America I would love to see it introduced as a sort of counterpart to the Overgrown in 76, maybe having expanded its range into the lower Mojave. Parasites are cool!

KateAces: I’d love to see weeping willows, my fave tree and yet to appear in fallout

AstralAbraxas: Well unfortunately for me, all of my favorite beasts already are in Fallout! But, I'd love to see an adaptation of Axolotl gulpers that aren't as wretchedly disgusting as they are in the tv show! I want to see a cute little critter, I want to tame one!

Fallout 4 Character reimaginings

This was a little exercise in giving some life to the characters and factions of Fallout 4 as sort of alternate start options, the forged now are a cargo cult who revere the Brotherhood of Steel unaware they’re little more than cannon fodder to them, Synths from the institute don’t replace random John Doe’s but rather act as a robust information network to keep an eye out for the brotherhood, the Children of Atom are a fully fledged militartistic isolationist order based in the glowing sea who use the mutated fauna, intent on driving out heretics, the Minutemen have fallen on hard times but they’re holding down the fort with traps, artillery and marksmen. Scribes of the BoS probe the wasteland searching for technology after discovering traces of newly developed circutry in the surrounding regions. Institute Coursers hide as beggars and drifters, eliminating these brotherhood patrols through horrific chemical, biological and radiological weapons, and wanderers travel around trying to make an honest living, or find a good place to settle down.
