#brotherhood series

[she-whatshername]

Brotherhood:

Another side hustle because why not. Also, I feel that Garrick and Bodhi tortured each other in Aretia and Basgiath

At the Basgiath dining hall

Rhiannon: Okay, what about you, Violet? What do you find attractive in a partner?

Violet: I dont really have a type, but I wanna be first. Above the job, the dragon, everything.

Ridoc: Ah, so blind adoration is you’re thing. I knew you had a freaky side.

Imogen: Bleh! If you want someone to follow you around and kiss your feet just get a fucking dog.

Across the hall on the dais

Garrick turning towards Xaden: Go fetch your girl, Fido.

Garrick proceeds to make barking sounds until Xaden’s shadows shove his breakfast into his lap, soaking his uniform.

This is exactly what I want from a Fallout TV show. Pathetic Brotherhood of Steel characters, a Vault Dweller who kicks ass, a hot ghoul, dubious corporations, and the hint of more New Vegas.

A control vault. Residents ended up opening the vault doors when the lower levels flooded. Eventually the vault was overrun by Fiends.

Vault 4 - Fallout TV series - California 

A test vault that was filled with residents prior to the bombs dropping. Experimentation on human subjects led to most of the original residents being killed in a revolt. In 2296 the vault is still thriving, while kidnapping surface survivors and continuing to experiment on them. The vault offered refuge for many inhabitants of Shady Sands.

Vault 8 (Vault City) - Fallout 2 - Nevada 

A control group vault that remained closed until 2241. Instead of receiving two G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) devices, Vault 8 received just one and a replacement water chip that was supposed to go to Vault 13.

Vault 11 - Fallout: New Vegas - Nevada 

Every year the residents were told to sacrifice a fellow resident, with the threat of everyone's death if they did not. In reality, the system would praise them for NOT sacrificing an individual and the vault door would be unlocked. This message finally played after only five residents remained.

Vault 12 - Fallout 1 - California 

A seemingly normal, safe vault with an ulterior motive to study the effects of radiation on the inhabitants. The door never fully sealed, and in 2083 the ghoul residents left to found Necropolis.

Vault 13 - Fallout 1 & Fallout 2- California 

Your home vault as the Vault Dweller. A rather normal vault, however due to a shipping mishap Vault 13 received an additional G.E.C.K. device (that was supposed to go to Vault 8) instead of a replacement water chip. Thus, leaving the Vault Dweller to leave the vault in search for a replacement when their only water chip breaks.

Vault 15 - Fallout 1 & Fallout 2 - California 

A vault that experimented with incredibly diverse ideologies and backgrounds. The vault became severely overpopulated in 2097 and the dwellers decided to open the door. Shady Sands was created using Vault 15's G.E.C.K. and the local raider gangs all have origins from this vault.

Vault 22 - Fallout: New Vegas - Somewhere in CA/NV/AZ/UT

The original vault experiment for 87 was scrapped, and it became a research center for FEV, leaving the vault wildly radioactive and inhabited only by super mutants by the time you access it as the Lone Wanderer.

An unfinished vault inhabited by ghouls.

Vault 92 - Fallout 3 - Somewhere in VA/PA/MD

Remnants of Vault 100 can be found in game files and cut content.

Vault 101 - Fallout 3 - Somewhere in VA/PA/MD 

The home vault for the Lone Wanderer. This vault was meant to never open and Vault 101 did not receive a G.E.C.K. However, the overseer of the vault pretty quickly broke this rule and occasional survey teams were sent to the surface. Several residents of Megaton are the result of these survey teams. Daddy James found the vault after the birth of the Lone Wanderer and negotiated his doctoral services in exchange for shelter.

Vault 106 - Fallout 3 - Somewhere in VA/PA/MD 

Psychoactive drugs slowly released into the air of Vault 106, causing the vault to be filled with psychotic survivors by the time the Lone Wanderer visits.

A slew of experiments occurred in this vault. The elected overseer was dying of cancer, the primary power supply of the vault was scheduled to fail after 20 years, the backup power supply would not be enough to power ALL of the vault, the vault was given three times the normal amount of weapons, and the vault was not given entertainment. With a majority of scientists, one of the inner experiments involved repeatedly cloning the same man... Gary.

Vault 111 - Fallout 4 - Massachusetts

 An unfinished vault meant for only the wealthy. Vault-Tec exaggerated the luxury of the vault, gave residents very small rooms, communal bathing and dining areas, and a homeless drug-addicted overseer named Soup Can Harry.

Vault 118 - Fallout 4 - Maine 

An Unfinished Vault meant to house both a handful of ultra-rich and hundreds of working class individuals to observe how they would interact within the same space.

Vault 120 - Fallout 4 & Fallout 76 - Mention Only 

The vault itself was meant to mimic the underwater atmosphere of Bioshock. The game was cut from Fallout 4, but remnants can be found in Fallout 76 game files.

[a-rogue-tiddy-bot]

I love that Maximus is a heroic character, but in a way that's flawed, relatable, and human. I think the scene that sold me was him rushing to save Knight Titus, and immediately stopping once it's clear he's going to scapegoat his ass. Like yes, actually, I think that's what most of us would have done. I sure af would have.

Also I like that on one hand he's grateful to the BoS for rescuing him, but he's not a fanatic. When he and Lucy found Vault 4, I assumed he was going to hate it no matter what for simply not being the BoS. But same as her, he's willing to learn from the world around him, and change his mind. By the end of season 1, he's gone from wanting to be a Knight to wanting Happily Ever After with his sweetie in a vault.

Anyway, I'm blocking anyone who says Maximus is boring. He's not boring, you're just racist.

"Why did you join the Brotherhood?"

[moondwellerthatdwells]

Pov its 4am in the castle and the STUPID Moonstone wont let ANYONE sleep

Brotherhood Part 3:

AN: A short one, because I am ill.

Prompt: Nicknames

Xaden, who normally kept his nickname for Violet between the two of them accidentally slipped during a conversation after a late night weapons drop; he was exhausted and wasn’t as on guard as he normally is. He should have known better. It was one thing to let something slip to the professors or senior leadership - that would be a death sentence. Letting something like calling Violet Violence in front of Garrick and Bodhi…that was somehow worse.

Garrick on the other hand, was thrilled.

He now wanted a nickname, “Wait. If Sorrengail is Violence,” He said the nickname in a syrupy sweet tone, the pitch of his voice kicking up an octave, “Don’t I get one? Oh can I be Gare-Gare?”

“Garrick.” Xaden warned, the floor beneath him was practically swirling in shadows.

“Gare-heart? Oh that’s a good one.”

“Gare-bear is better.” Bodhi chimed in, much to Garricks laughter. Xaden thrust him a look of both betrayal and anger. How dare his own cousin take Garricks side?!

“If you two don’t stop…”

Bodhi smiled, shit. Xaden knew that smile. Bodhi was the soft spoken, quiet one of the group. Always with the big heart and gentleness that Xaden and Garrick lacked after years at the war college. However, Xaden knew better that beneath that sweet little face was a little shit that liked to stir up trouble, “If you call Violet Violence, what does she call you?”

“Oh gods.” Garrick’s eyes grew wide, “That’s right, what’s your little pet name? Bet its just wingleader.”

“No.” Bodhi pushed further, his smile growing wider, “bet it something more, sincere.”

“Hmm,” Garrick brought his hand to his chin before an equally Cheshire smile crossed his face, “Tells us Xaden, what does she call you?”

“I swear, I will murder the both of you.”

“Xay?” Bodhi supplied, practically laughing

“Xay-bay.” Garrick was howling at this point. “Gods wait…She calls you Xaddy doesn’t she-“

Garrick couldn’t finish his remarks before a black mass thrust him back against the wall. And Bodhi couldn’t scramble to safety before a tendril of shadows wrapped around his leg, dragging him back at Xaden’s feet. The two of them, while ensnared him Xaden’s rage and shadows, weren’t afraid one bit .Rather they were laughing so hard that Xaden had to use his shadows to cover their mouths.

But, Xaden always had the upper hand. And he always got his way. He made sure to get payback by using his wingleader status to put Bodhi on washroom cleaning duty and make all section leaders in his wing do extensive morning runs for the next several weeks.

Obsessed with the use of the sunset in this scene. In fairytales the stories end with our heroes living happily ever after and riding out into the sunset. I think the sunset here plays on that theme, both Lucy and Maximus have reached the goals they had at the start of the show: Lucy found her father and in a few scenes Maximus is about to become a knight of the brotherhood yet their original goals are the opposite of what they wanted. The images of rubble and destruction in front of the sunset reflect the broken state of our protagonist’s hopes and dreams and the destruction being lit by an idealistic symbol of a sunset shows how the dreams that our protagonists had were built on lies and reveals the corruption behind what they thought was everything. And yet within all that destruction they’ve found each other, two sides of the same coin. It’s just so cool I love fallout

[citree]

I'm a mighty, mighty man, I'm young and I'm in my prime I don't pick my jobs I'm ready for any ol' kind I'm a real young man, a brand new twenty-five I'm willing, I'm able, I'm practically much alive

Poor Max and all his battle-wounds... 🥺

[clonebrainrot]

Redoing this poll as I goofed by not including the followers of the apocalypse.
