How the companions would come out, if at all

For 🍑🍎🍊🍋🥝🫐🍇 month

Cait; doesn't, she'll refer to it casually and off-handedly and if you blink at it, she'll blink at you. You fool. You absolute buffoon. You think Cait gives a shit? You think Cait even has a concept of heteronormativity? Deranged. Deluded.

Curie; She will also casually bring it up, but more as a question. Probably figuring things out for herself, and looking for a second, more experienced opinion. Curie is going to use you as more of a sounding board than really be expressing her identity to you. Kind of like a "hey, lemme just ramble at you to work it out myself"

Danse; Literally couldn't. The man about pukes just telling you he sees potential in you. This isn't like Cait, who straight up never considered hetero. This is Danse, who never considered being sexual, let alone romantic. If he ever figures anything out about himself, that shit is going in a clean, sterilized jar, and tossed right the fuck into the nearest bin.

Deacon; Comes out multiple times for various different things. Does this weekly. What is he, actually? Deacon. Deacon is just Deacon.

Gage; Doesn't come out and has nothing to come out for, because he doesn't use any labels. Much like Cait, he's got nothing to hide and isn't really aware that some people do.

Hancock; Also doesn't come out, because why the fuck would he? You can't take him anywhere without one or two people explicitly trying to get him in the sack again. If you know Hancock at all, you know he fucks. He doesn't need to spell it out for you.

MacCready; Does come out, surprisingly. He will make an off-handed (and honestly, kind of forced) joke about it before staring at you for a second like a spooked meerkat, trying to gauge your reaction. Will continue doing this to, like, slowly introduce the concept before it eventually becomes normal and everyone just...knows.

Piper; Comes out only after asking you what your deal is. "Say, are you a girl kinda guy, a guy kinda guy, what works for you?" And provided you answer like a normal person (Ei, without being weird at the suggestion you could be LGBT), then she'll conversationally talk about herself, just chatting.

Nick; Doesn't and doesn't need to. His name is Nick Valentine. He uses neon pink heart motifs and smokes for the aesthetic and quotes Gothic horror in the face of military invasion. If you can't tell Nick is lgbt, you wouldn't get it even if he did tell you outright.

Preston; Doesnt come out and you will never know what his deal is if you don't romance him or ask. Had a hoe phase like Hancock once, but those days are past him. Now, work is his lover. And he doesn't talk about himself like that. He's got shit to do.

X6-88; Will come out only if you are very close, because this is, like, Code Red Existential Crisis. You can see his brain breaking. There may as well be smoke coming out his ears. He flips between stoic vanity as per usual and absolute trainwreck at the realization that not only might he have feelings, but they're individual, you could say. This is a coursers nightmare.

(he'd love them)

[its-sixxers]

interrogating x6-88 after the railroad ending is a dangerous prospect, but not for the reasons you think...

[cookiebunny363]

Sole: I’ve only known my companions for like one second

*somehow manages to pick them all up*

Sole: But if anything happens to them I’ll kill everyone in this room and then myself.

FO4 companions + doddleoddle songs

requested by @syd11d7

[radreactions]

Companions favorite prewar item

Ada - old texbooks on literally anything mechanics, technology or otherwise science-y related. The amount of times Curie has busted her raiding her private library...

Cait - boots. The kind built for curb stomping a guy's head all the while feeling the comfort of baby seal leather boots. Do not, I repeat, do NOT let her catch you wearing thongs/flip flops. Deacon found out the hard way that the slapping sound reeeally gets on her nerves.

Curie - Prewar dresses, mostly the kind with pretty floral patterns and the poofy skirts. Whenever she's in one, her smile lights up every room she enters.

Danse - military holotapes from before the war. He has always been fascinated by the tactics used and the question of what, if anything, could have changed the outcome of the great war.

Deacon - you know those yellow chicken toys with the squeakers in their bellies that scream AAAAAEEEEERRRPPPP when pressed? Yeah. That!

Dogmeat - AAAAAAEEEEERRRRRRPPPPP *happy barking*

Gage - he's actually pretty fond of the idea of cars. Walking everywhere gets damn tiring, especially when he's forced to trek across the damn desert, sweatin' from every crack and crevice imaginable. Sole has lost count of the times he has tried to bribe them into fixing one up for him.

Hancock - chems of course! Nothing beats an aged to perfection, 200 year old dose of pure, unadulterated happiness.

MacCready - comic books! Preferably Grognak, but the Unstoppables and Silver Shroud are also close to his heart.

Maxson - cigars, both for smoking and for collecting. The rarer the better, but don't make the mistake of giving him San Francisco Sunlights.

Nick Valentine - Jenny. Always, always her. Or at least, his memories of her.

Old Longfellow - dogs, for sure. You just can't beat a non-horribly irradiated furry little best friend who is always happy to see you.

Piper Wright - candy. Hands down, full stop, no thinking necessary, nuh uh. In fact, it's worth asking what kind of pre war candy she doesn't like. Nat will be the first to say she hasn't found a single one - the day that happens is likely to be the day Brahmin fly.

Preston Garvey - Old Western movies that Sole has managed to scavange and hook up to the drive in theatre's projector. He enjoys feeling the small glimpse of what could have been his childhood if things had've worked out just a bit different for the world.

Strong - he hates most things from before the war, but you can't go wrong with the way they used to cook meat. In fact, it's Sole's most redeeming quality!

X6-88 - strangely enough, alcohol. Not to drink, but he likes the aesthetic of having pristine, still full alcohol bottles on display in his home. One of each type, but he knows to keep some spare since some have suspiciously gone missing.

Anyways ive not drawn for two weeks bcs ive been just 24/7 playing fo4 sorry. Ill draw more i promise. Oops. Also expect more dumb sketches like this because woof! This game is fun and it has fun things!!!

[libertybri]

Fallout 4 and canon things I simply choose to ignore

MacCready didn’t marry the same Lucy from Little Lamplight

How many Lucy’s are out there, man? You’re telling me this sweet girl, little Lucy from Little Lamplight wasn’t the one to touch sour little RJ’s heart?? FALSE. Hate it. I choose to believe once they got into that pre-teen stage where they started having crushes, she would flirt and he would be super awkward and eventually they got together before leaving the cave at 16. IT JUST MAKES SENSE.

Danse doesn’t join the Minutemen after Blind Betrayal

Assuming you’re the General and quadruple-timing all of the factions for the best, most peaceful outcome possible; it would just make sense for Danse to join your cause after you accept him for who he is. That man is a workaholic and wants to fight for what’s right. He trusts Sole and knows the Minutemen do good.

MacCready doesn’t bring Duncan to the Commonwealth

Another MacCready thing because there are a lot of complaints I have for this deserving-family man’s storyline. Even if Sole doesn’t romance this guy, after getting the cure for Duncan I think we kind of deserve to see the mini MacCready running around Sanctuary or whatever.

The whole thing with not being able to romance Deacon, Nick, or X6-88

Just why. I am big wh*re for fallout characters and should be able to romance every single one with exception of the big milk guy.

Butterflies are extinct. I choose to believe they are alive, thriving, and roughly the size of a bird but still gorgeous as ever

Okay so this was just a random thought I had when coming up with a pacifist oc, but it would be kind of amazing to have butterflies of different colors just invading everywhere in the Commonwealth or wherever. And glowing butterflies?? Ugh, masterpiece. Don’t even get me started.

Settlers don’t have names

Kind of self-explanatory. They don’t even need last names. I’m just tired of seeing ‘Settler’ on everyone when it could very easily say ‘Craig’ or ‘Nancy’ at random.

You can’t name settlement animals/pack brahmin

Again, self-explanatory. I want to name a settlement cat ‘Stinky’ but the developers won’t allow that.

Raider rehabilitation doesn’t exist

Again, tying into random thoughts with my pacifist oc. I just thought like if you’re able to pacify raiders, then why not have the option where you can send them to settlements/jail (rehabilitate) them. I can see where this would be abused by evil SoSu’s, but it’s just a random thing I thought up.

All other music is destroyed

There is definitely some booty-shakin’ 90s + 2000s music SOMEWHERE, the fallout DJs just refuse to play it for the 50s aesthetic.

Little ghoul Billy (kid in the fridge) was in there since the Great War

Ain’t no way. He’d be feral without food or water. Also if he were cramped in that space for 210 years, he would NOT be able to just get out and walk around. I know his joints be hurtin’. And, I thought it was canon that younger ghouls will age at least into an adult state and then their aging process is slowed?? I don’t know, man. All I know is just that he was not in there since the war.

Anyway, I know this is all random. I just found it in my notes app and decided to share my early thoughts.
