thinking about fallout 4 against my will
#random thoughts
#fallout
#unfortunately nora compels me
#the fact the 'hi honey!' tape specifically mentions her 'shaking the dust off' her law degree is interesting
#like she gave up her job to stay at home with her husband and kid. why?
#like that's a whole year. at LEAST.
#love the idea of nate pressuring her into it <3 maternity leave turns into 'isnt it so nice being with sean around the clock?'
#'too bad you won't have this quality time when you return to work'
#turns into 'you can always return to work if you feel like it but we DO have a lot saved up . . .'
#and it's like. okay so fallout 4 would be so much better if it were set in the 1960s. literally no reason it shouldnt be
#yknow beyond complying with lore which. it isnt that faithful to in the first place
#i just think it's weird the game is like 'here's the FUTURE' and then it's like 'here's the FUTURE FUTURE'
#anyway make it the 1960s. give me time-appropriate fucked up family dynamics
#and nora's a laywer and a feminist who promised herself she'd never compromise her career for a man
#and nate seemed so NICE and like he understood until uh oh. frog in a slow cooker
#and he makes everything seem like it's her idea until she's barefoot in the kitchen with a screaming baby on her hip and burnt food in a pan
#and she doesn't even realize she's trapped until it's too late. isolated from friends and family
#idk ill do more research later to make it more time-accurate (ESPECIALLY interested in second-wave feminism)
#anyway i think she cheats. with a door-to-door salesman selling places in the bomb shelters
#(honestly probably the only adult social interaction she's had in weeks beyond her husband)
#i like to think at some point she had a bit of a car accident due to the stress so nate took her keys
#probably just a minor fender bender he blew out of proportion but she believes it because oh god what if she hurt sean
#her feelings toward sean are complicated. i dont think she quite loves him which she feels guilty about so she overcompensates
#with trying to keep him as safe as possible and she feels like he KNOWS and HATES her
#(honestly when the bombs drop everything happens so quickly and when she's in the future and registers sean's gone she feels. so relieved)
#(followed by heavy shame)
#nate sabotaged her birth control btw. love evil 1960s patriarchs
#never outright stated but heavily implied!
#anyway nora in the future (while she felt very progressive for her time) feels very out of place
#like her ideals have no place. like she has no place
