like ronnies wuest is ALSO really really good but you basically get to say to her everything i wanted to say. about it not being her fault and about how much i love her and want her to be free and live her own life and not tie herself to a sinking ship forever. girl i love you sometimes your family is determined to wallow in the mud but YOU dont have to. but like you get to tell her that straight up. the combo of not getting to say everything i want to say + arcade LEAVING ME FOREVER. SOMETHING I DID NOT KNOW WOULD HAPPEN. just leaves me with this big aching arcade gannon shaped hole in my heart that will never be filled by anything else as long as i am on this earth. i get to go back to my apartment every night and go HONEY IM HOME and kiss veronica on the mouth. i wont see arcade again for months and months and months of in game time. and i miss him dearly.

#this is very immersive becayse of how i set up dannie and arcades relationship #ie: hes been someone shes known since she was a kid and pretty regularly would run away from home #and at some point made freeside her hangout spot when she was on the run. and would bother the followers. so in my mind #arcade (who i think would be ~10 years older?) would kind of be her tutor and just generally a weird older brother figure #and then one of the times she gets dragged back home by the hair she just never comes back #yk until a few years pass and she gets shot in the head #so i think arcade is someone she thinks about often during that time where she doesnt go back to vegas. and i imagine hed think about her o #occassion. yk like wondering what ever happened to her. probably assuming that shed died young.#so i think itd be very sweet when shes doing quest stuff and rolls back up to freeside for the first time since she was like 15-17ish #so its been like 8-10 years at that point. so i think itd be a nice little reunion #and also like WOW. that weird scrawny kid you used to tutor is huge and badass now #i think a lot about them getting to know each other again and just chatting while hiking around or making camp #and i think as things progress dannie really starts to rely on him more as she feels in over her head vis a vis the fate of vegas #and in her mind arcade is like. the worlds greatest person. so he must know the right decision. so i think she would ask him for reassuranc #or just for his take on the Political Situation a lot #(immersive because i got REALLY scared after killing house i was considering reloading a save. and i asked arcade just on a whim. and he #said he thought i was making the best possible choice. and it made me feel so much better and less scared)#anyways. i think she thinks the world of him. not very many people have been nice to her in her life and arcade is a little bitchy but his #heart is full of love. i do think they have a very sibling-ey dynamic #so i do think once he leaves. she would miss him agonizingly bad #she would catch herself turning around before big decisions like 'arcade what do you think - oh.'#and i think shed kind of retreat into herself without him there. very quiet. very uncertain of what shes doing.#🏜️#<- for the tags.
