Nate x Maxson

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

Who gets jealous easier?

Who uses cheesy pick-up lines?

How do they celebrate holidays?

Nathaniel Owen + Arthur Maxson

No one asks me about some of my older OCs anymore so thank you so much 💖 Fallout 4 / Blind Betrayal Spoilers Ahead | CW filicide

1. Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

No one actually knew until they both went public with it. Except Danse. When Nate and Danse are out procuring the parts for the teleporter thing, Nate is an anxious WRECK about going through with it. He's always worst-case scenario about it all, or if he'll even survive it at all. So once they get back to the airport with everything and are debriefed and cleared from their trip into the Glowing Sea, Nate drags Danse to his quarters aboard the Prydwen and tells him. Because he knows what will happen to Arthur if he loses another person this way, and he wants to be sure Danse will be there for him as a friend. Obviously this is all before Blind Betrayal but STILL.

After Blind Betrayal, Danse is still having a major identity crisis (understandably of course) and when Nate visits he goes off on a lot of self doubt spirals. Which leads to a lot of passionate arguments and rationalization. One time Danse fires back with Nate needing to choose between his loyalty to Maxson both as a soldier and a boyfriend, and choosing Danse as a friend. This did not tear them apart as friends, but they did not speak for a few weeks after that.

Ianto figured it out through spending all his time with Nate in Boston. Actually Nate told Ianto first... while they were high... and drunk. Nate MAY have made comments about someone's thick thighs and luscious lips.

2. Who gets jealous easier?

Nate does, for sure. He is actually really insecure about himself as a partner/boyfriend. Especially after watching Bailey get shot, and after he himself shoots Shaun in the head, Nate withdraws into himself. He'll spend an hour in front of a mirror questioning everything he's ever done, and feel worthless and undeserving of the things he does have. In addition to feeling the "Why would he want someone like me? Someone so fucked up in the head like I am?"

3. Who uses cheesy pickup lines?

... Nate does. All. The. Time. Whether they just kissed the first time or have been together for like 4 years.

Especially when he's on pain medication after a mission and he walks up to Arthur like "I love your beard, it's like an enchanted forest!!"

Or my favorite when he's drunk and puts his hands on Arthur's chest and goes "Max on, Max off."

4. How do they celebrate the holidays?

In my personal canon for Nate, in his goal of restructuring and reshaping the Brotherhood, he also makes sure people have the freedom to practice things like religious beliefs (not that there's much faith in anything left after the bombs drop that isn't totally whack... aka mothman cultists and the freaky children of Atom). But during the Winter Solstice and Christmas holiday, Nate LOVES it.

When they're all drunk on eggnog or high off Jet, Nate INSISTS on calling Arthur 'Elder Grumpy Santa'. And instead of his enchanted forest beard comments he says "Enchanted Winter Wonderland where are the elves Mr. Grumpy Santa?????"

But Arthur secretly loves it.

I bought this in 2019 because I love this Shakespearean story in all its alternate forms HAMLET.

I just never got to watch it because my life was difficult. So it sat on the self in a pile of unmatched movies.

Beim Besuch der Coventry Cathedral (siehe hier), überkam mich auch der Wunsch, Benjamin Brittens monumentales, aber anstrengendes Chorwerk War Requiem einmal wieder anzuhören, das zu deren Einweihung geschrieben wurde. Es kommt hier einmal als Konzertbesuch vor, aber es ist nicht das, was wir alle Tage hören. Ich besann mich dann, daß wir einen seit Jahren ungesehenen Derek-Jarman-Film herumfahren haben, in dem er dieses bebildert. Es sind jetzt natürlich nicht genau die Bilder, die man sonst vor Augen gehabt hätte, auch weil es die im Requiem verwendeten Gedichte des ersten-Weltkriegs-Soldaten Wilfried Owen bebildert, also gefühlt im falschen Krieg spielt, zeigt aber auch die Schrecken aller Kriege, bloß halt nie diese Kathedrale. Ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber interessant, und enthält die immer sehenswerte Tilda Swinton, sowie den allerdings etwas unscheinbaren letzten Filmauftritt von Laurence Olivier.

Bentley’s Bandstand: October 2024 By Bill Bentley Gregg Allman Band, UNCLE SAM’S. It doesn’t take long for Gregg Allman’s well-tested road band to hit the monkey nerve and go for the gusto. There is something so pleasingly swinging about this octet that once the first song, “Midnight Rider” kicks in, it’s all over but the shouting. Maybe that’s because as a charter member of the original Allman…

So Viktor never wanted any biological children. His father had repeatedly insisted on it for him for nearly the entirety of his 300 years of life. He claimed it was an obligation as the direct descendant of a pureblood vampire. Viktor adamantly refused and moved far away.

2 or 3 years following The Incident which resulted in Viktor finally getting together with his now boyfriend Owen, they find a 15 year old kid that had been bitten by a pureblood. They decide to take him in and make sure he's fed after he finished turning, so he wouldn't go feral and hurt innocent people. That kid is Nathaniel, or just Nate, and after a few months of taking care of him, Vik and Owen decide to officially adopt him as their son.

What are the aspirations of the Crux? Do they change as the story progresses?

While the overarching goal of each of the members’ doesn’t change too much, the specifics do.

Noah loses his want to murder his mother and her associates, rather he now just wants justice against them for hurting him and others, while also learning to focus on himself and making a life for himself.

Lilith gains a less shallow reason for wanting to be a bard, originally she wanted to be famous and rich but now she just wants to tell the stories of people she cares about and wants to see the happy facing of those who are listening.

Amelia goes from a pretty basic aspiration to wanting to make medicine a realm wide thing. She becomes a very good doctor and apothecary later on.

Chance’s aspirations start with murder and end with wanting to protect his found family

Nico eventually finds his place in the world as the bridge between Selcouth and the Neverwhere.

Natasha finds herself becoming a paladin of Maveth and working closely with Pandora

And Pandora’s over time becomes finding who she wants to be as a person and learning to have faith and confidence in herself

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! BOWL!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS SO MUCH!!!! THIS WORLD YOU'VE BUILT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!! I CAN'T EVEN!!!!!!!

Well, ig I’ll just do The Crux members in order then, give you guys something to work with? Idk, anyways here’s some descriptions of each of The Crux members:

Pandora De La Dáinn:

Pandora De La Dáinn, the youngest in the next generation of the noble family of Morgana, has lived in the post of her relatives’ massacre her entire life. But the tragedy doesn’t stop there.

At eight years old, her eldest brother, Victor, suddenly disappears into the depths of the night after saying goodnight to Pandora, and is never seen again.

At fourteen, she is stolen in the dead of night and murdered by the woman known as Alice Ripper. Alice working under a man named Lazarus’s orders. She awakens in the Neverwhere, a place full of souls of the deceased, and finds herself in front of the god of death himself. She pleads with the god, asking him to give her one more chance as she hasn’t done what she feels she must do. The god agrees, under one condition, she become the champion of death for him, and she will gain one more chance. She awakens in front of her family’s ancestral mansion, her hair white and her limbs a transparent navy blue, only her bones showing.

At eighteen, she finds one of Victor’s many journals and discovers where he went next. She then hastily writes a letter, telling her family what she expects from them when she gets back and why she’s leaving. Ending the letter in:

“If I return without Victor, it will be bad news, or, it means something more important than Victor has happened”

She sets off to find out what happened to her brother, and through these journals scattered around Selcouth, will learn why he left to begin with. All the while finding who she is outside of her family, who she will become as Champion of Death, and what she stands for as an individual.

Noah Ripper:

The finished project of two people’s genius, Noah is an android who was created to be nothing more than a weapon to the cruel and self absorbed Alice Ripper.

Running away at fourteen after seeing his mother murder a girl his age, he finds himself in the heart of the Agrona Branches, in the kingdom of Morgana. He takes in this new world after being hidden from it for so long, and eventually meets two tiefling kids whom he befriends.

The three travel together throughout the kingdom, until eventually, Alice finds him and attempts to dismantle him. Saved only by a girl his age with white hair and a knack for engineering and tinkering, he and his two friends promise to repay her for her kindness.

After the incident regarding his near dismantling, he vows to seek revenge on his mother and anyone involved in the horrible abuse he endured growing up. And finds his opportunity to do so when Pandora asks him, Ambrose, and Constance to travel with him.

They agree, and he sets out with a thirst for blood, a gun, and a handful of ideas on how to murder those who hurt him.

Ambrose & Constance Lockwood:

As two of the three children of the terrifying and dangerous Lockwood couple, Ambrose and Constance are born into a life of destruction and conquest. They are set to inherit their parents’ fortune and the countless kingdoms they ruled over as dictators. However, once the two were forced to take up a contract with two demons, they begin to question the righteousness of their family’s actions.

Seeing their eldest brother, Lazarus, fall further and further into torment, anger, pride, and violence, calls this into question even further.

After overhearing a plan to attack another noble family’s daughter and kill her, the two decide to run away that night. They quickly escape at fourteen and twelve years old without incident and make their way to the one kingdom they know Lazarus and their parents’ cult won’t want to touch, Morgana.

They meet an android boy their age, and quickly become friends due to their similar situations. But when the boy, named Noah, is attacked and nearly dismantled, they find a noble girl and beg for her help.

She fixes Noah up, and they learn her name is Pandora. They vow to her that they will find a way to repay her some day, and that day would come soon enough.

When Pandora asks for them to travel with her, the two plus Noah agree.

Ambrose and Constance make a promise to each other that they would do as much good in the world as possible, and that they will learn the details of what atrocities their family has committed and right those wrongs.

Little do they know what Lazarus is planning…

Nathaniel, Nico, and Natasha Woodwhisper:

Growing up the children of the Last Hunt Tribe’s chieftess, Dawn Woodwhisper, they lacked any knowledge of their father until age fifteen. Their mother begins telling them stories of their father, how he was a strong warrior and the Champion of Death.

Nathaniel despises him, seeing as he left their mother alone with triplets, and never once came to visit the family.

Natasha idolizes him, and does everything in her power to be just like him.

Nico is stuck in the middle, he understands Nathaniel’s position, but also understands Natasha’s. He is trying to balance his opinions.

One day, a group of strange people attack the tribe, setting the forest it’s in on fire and burning the entire forest to the ground. They are left without knowledge of where their mother is at or their tribe, the last words they heard from Dawn were:

“No matter what happens or how you feel about it, please go find your father, tell him what happened, please.”

And thus, the three set off with a group of four to find their dad, and figure out their familial mysteries.

Josiah & Lilith Mantlebar:

Josiah and Lilith Mantlebar are the children of a renowned cleric and bard. Lilith herself is a bard, playing the guitar, while Josiah is a paladin.

When Josiah was sixteen, he was chosen by the Thunder God Asterope to be their paladin and made an oath with them.

Lilith has had her dream since she was younger, that she would try to become the best bard there was out there.

One day, while the duo is out and about in a neighboring village, they return home to find their village in ruins. Their parents and neighbors nowhere to be found.

They stay in the ruined village for a few weeks, before they decide that in order to find their parents, they have to travel. And maybe they could achieve their goals along the way.

So the two set off, to find their parents, one to be the best bard in Selcouth, the other to learn his role as a paladin.

Karissa Jester:

Karissa grew up in a small village with her parents, she was a small tiefling girl and was happy for a long time, until her parents decided that the best option for her, was to give her up for adoption. She never knew the reason, but she knew it wasn’t a decision they wanted to make.

Going through dozens of different adoptive families and ultimately being put up for adoption every single time in the end, she decides to run away from the orphanage she was staying at and find somewhere she fit in at.

She’s finds that place eventually in Magnus Wanderlust, a traveling circus. She felt unconfident and afraid, but decided to try and see if she could join. The ringmaster, a lovely changeling woman, known for her changing in appearances, took Karissa in and decided that she would train her in the ways of the circus.

Karissa soon mastered her fire magic and proceeded to be a fan favorite by many, eventually becoming one of the highest paying acts the circus had.

But she wanted more, she’d seen some of the world, but only the small populated areas, never the unpopulated areas or the big kingdoms. And she wanted to learn who she was and where she came from. Lastly, she was ultimately lonely, she knew nobody her age who she was friends with, she didn’t mind being friends with all of the older members of the circus, but she wanted to experience true life as a young adult in Selcouth.

She brings this concerns to the ringmaster who nods and agrees that she has most likely outgrown the circus, and gives her some necessities and trinkets before she leaves.

And then, she’s off into the world, eventually meeting a pair of halfling siblings, one named Josiah, one named Lilith.

Lilith introduce Karissa into the world of music, and she never went back since, playing the guitar alongside her. Josiah taught her how to use her fire in a variety of different ways as well.

And thus the three became inseparable, traveling the world to find themselves and to explore.

Chance Boone:

Chance Boone was a famous cowboy out in The Restless Borderlands. He was known for his work with sheriffs, helping people out, and riding off into the sunset at the end of the day.

However, he was also known to be a violent man, destroying an entire town from his childhood who abandoned and ostracized him.

He loved the life he lived, but over time he became bored with the constant struggle of finding food or getting gold. And something kept gnawing at him.

He’d been kidnapped as a child and managed to escape, and his family had been murdered by these people. It was one night when he decided he would find the people who did that, and make sure they would be served justice.

And thus he hopped on his horse, and rode into the dawn, on a mission.

Barbara Monroe:

Barbara Monroe was known for being the outlaw of The Restless Borderlands. And her track record with Chance is certainly one to behold in the amount of times the two had met. She led her life, stealing, killing, and on the occasion finding a partner who’d inevitably stab her in the back and end up dead.

She always wondered what the rest of the world had in store. But knew she’d never leave The Restless Borderlands. That is, until her band of outlaws attempted to get rid of her under orders from a new outlaw king. Limping out into the desert with a gunshot wound in her side, she found the place Chance was staying at, and stumbled inside.

Chance was surprised to find his rival and nemesis asking for his help, he could’ve let her die, he should’ve let her die, but for whatever reason he chose to help.

The two talk for a while, until the topic of Chance’s family comes up, Barbara had a similar story about her family, and mentions the fact that she was put in the outlaw group to begin with because of that incident.

And with that, the two make a deal. They’d work together to get back at the outlaw group, and then they’d help each other with anything else.

For Chance that means exploring the world, for Barbara that means escaping her past.

Amelia Hayes:

Amelia was a noblewoman from the kingdom of Eudaemonia, she wasn’t from the noble family of Eudaemonia, but she was a noble nonetheless.

She would travel out to The Restless Borderlands in order to provide medicine and other sorts of technology to the people there, as they were behind on the times.

That is until she comes across a town that labels her a witch, and proceeds to try to burn her to death. Until, a pair of cowboys shows up and fights the ones attempting to kill her. One was a woman, the other a man.

They scare the rest of the townsfolk into leaving her alone, and then begin talking to her.

She explains her want to give medicine and other forms of technology and science to the world, and the two explain their wanting to explore the world.

And thus, after that, she began traveling with the two.

Owen Cogwright:

Owen, or, the second mind in the making of Noah, is a troubled man. Cursed with the heirloom curse given to his family by the god of souls, he is forced to work on the project for the god lest he be in an immense amount of pain.

He locked himself away like so many do, attempting to do the project on his own. That’s until Alice weasels her way into his life, and promises more than she can offer.

Owen works with her, creating the first 5 blueprints for Noah, ages 5-10 years old. However, Alice one night threatens Owen with his life if he didn’t leave the project with her and that he would have to deal with her taking credit.

Scared for his life, he unwillingly left, heartbroken for having to leave the one creation he saw as his own son behind.

Years and years passed and Owen never made another project, suffering with the pain and agony he endured from not working on it.

Until one day, he meets a group of people in the tavern he worked at, who he tells his story to. The short half elf girl with white hair asks him if he’d like to travel with them. And Owen, seeing as his time was running out in life due to the curse, decided to go with them. To see the world before he died.

Whats been your favourite arctic explorer/boat books you've read? I want recs lol

my favorite franklin expedition book is always frozen in time by dr. owen beattie and john geiger. even if some of the research has been disproven in the years since publication it was so foundational to our understanding of the expedition and the descriptions of the exhumations are incredible and visceral and it's one hundred percent worth reading. my favorite polar exploration book in general is a classic, endurance by alfred lansing. the only nonfiction book that's ever made me cry, and they were tears of relief because it was so well-constructed and made me care so deeply about these real life men. this book kicks ass. also, if you want to know what tim walz was talking about in that one interview this book is a good jumping-off point for getting the jist of shackleton as a person. the madhouse at the end of the earth by julian sancton is fantastic and entertaining, the belgica was a shitshow i love those guys. currently i'm reading in the heart of the sea by nathaniel philbrick, which isn't a polar book but is about wet cannibalism. it's centered on the ordeal of the real whaling boat essex which inspired moby dick and so far it's so interesting. as well as fucked up boat stuff, there's a lot of description about the weird isolated culture of colonial nantucket, which is bizarre and cool. thanks for asking love you forever
