WIP header preview. Yes, I know I still have other stories to finish/post. But... but... this one... (⌐■_■)

"The commonwealth deserves a detective without memory problems" The Commonwealth deserves someone who loves everyone for who they are in a world that's almost truly devoid of such care and kindness. Don't sit there and tell me you like Nick Valentine as a character and then tell me you'd change everything about him that makes him Nick

Edit: More info/context

I think my art journey from 2021 to now can best be visualized by how I’ve drawn Nick Valentine

It's just how gameplay shook out for me but I reached max affinity with MacCready helping a ghoul kid find out what happened to his family and MAN sometimes things that work out so perfect that you WISH you'd wrote it or done it on purpose 😭🖤 Two very sad Dads doing the best for their sons helping ANOTHER lost kid find home because they can't be with their own kids right now but they can help Billy, dammit!

Literally nothing, without exaggeration, has firmly cemented itself into my brain that I really do want make video games, than seeing this spectacularly greedy downfall by hubris of bethesda

[nyxxcion]

I'm aware I'm cringe let people enjoy things

the fact I'm 24 and ill be getting my own gaming pc very soon and the two things I'm most excited to play is fallout 4 and wizard101 like fuck socializing on wizard101 I refuse to befriend anyone on there I'm just here to relive my childhood of playing this game for 9 hours every day and fallout 4 I'm just here to fuck gage and Hancock and blow up an amusement park along the way

Tech help pages are so fucking annoying because you'll see someone post something like

"I've been playing this game for 10 years and suddenly this thing isn't working. I've gone through my system files, went back to college, graduated in IT, and held the owner of the gaming software company hostage but I still can't figure it out"

The replies:

"Have you tried using the thing that isn't working?"

"Try doing it on a different console."

"Download this program and it will fix everything!" *sketchy link*

playing nuka world for the first time is really fun actually, i just wish they bothered to record new companion dialogue

You've mentioned your love for androids many a time and I wanted to pop in ask if you have any favourites?I'm also a little curious what is about androids that you personally find so interesting? 👉👈

Ahhh yes I love Androids! They have a certain nobility to them. My top fave "android/droid adjacent" loves as a kid were The Tin Woodsman (so handsome, so loving and kind! And such a sad story! I loved him in the book, and in the live action film he had the sweetest, tenderest voice) and C-3PO (smart and friendly and will always help you)

They have a selflessness to them, a steadfast bond to their cause that goes beyond their physical body. They'll break themselves gladly to do what needs to be done or to protect someone. There's an amusing and dramatic non-attachment to their physical self. They often are curious about emotions and dwell on them. Some of them wonder if they themselves have feelings, but isn't that wonder a feeling itself?

I notice my Ghost Ghoul lore is very akin to androids rather than demons, but it's been fun to play with that.

My other favorite androids: (There are so many but aggg I must narrow them all down!!)

Tima (Tezuka's Metropolis directed by Rintaro omfg see this film if you can)

Melfina from Outlaw Star was like my first anime blorbo ever (and Gene Starwind of course) She is gentle and sweet but her mind is powerful.

I truly love Alita in the manga Battle Angel Alita, and her fatherly bond with the scientist who rescues her who isn't as wholesome as she believes (don't see the movie, please) I love how androids physically break themselves or arrive broken and their friends repair them and make them whole again 🥺

Ok now we are arriving in the "I am Very Attracted To These Androids" Circle of Hell

David from the Alien Franchise (LOVED David in the fake commerical for him, hated the film tbh- so disappointed!) Michael Fassbender as an android- hottttt ugggghhh

Bjork and Chris Cunningham's "All is Full of Love" uhhhh need I say more?

Honorable Mentions:

Terminator 2 was a formative film for me, I loved it as a kid and still love it. Love the protective platonic bonds in that film

Westworld is incredible I have yet to see the second season but this post is inspiring me.

Thanks for the ask now I need a cold shower after the David gif

I just tried playing my fallout 4 save to take more screenshots of my OC and it’s crashing 🥲

[saintedbythestorm]

Now I'm super curious and want to know about that hyperfixation of yours 😀

That's so sweet of you ❤️, but it really is just my on-going hyperfixation with the fallout franchise again. 😅 (and in this case more specifically fallout new vegas, my beloved).

See, Hoover Dam is a central point for that games whole story and I guess I always found it a little funny that thing survived a nuclear war? But like after that post, how they expect it to be one of our remaining structures, it just... suddenly made a bit more sense.

And me with a very bad case of 3 am brain™ was absolutely mind blown and losing my shit and was about to freak out in the tags. Clearly managed to chill out a bit at the last second but yeah...

That was rather silly of me. 😅

Well I finished Nick’s follower quest & well, ACAB includes Nick Valentine.

I love him but lol

Killing a man over your identity crisis isn’t it!

Holy shit the section in Far Harbor where you go into DiMA's memories is SO weird and COOL I love it!
