Broke: Goodneighbor is a hive of villainy and scum, fueled by the sickest desires of the wastes and a major output of the extreme influence of chems on the Commonwealth.

Bespoke: Goodneighbor is populated heavily by drifters, a majority of, if not all of which likely suffer daily from chronic pain, and mental strife as a result of lives, both long lived as Ghouls, and short as peoples born into a world that relies on the doctrine "kill or be killed" to get by. Self medication may be one of the few ways they manage these pains, and vilifying the use of these drugs, both used for recreation and to help them live rather then to simply survive, is incredibly ableist.

#personal #idk had a thought #a long drawn out thought #there are beds in the highest room of the state house for people to sleep in #a few outside where people lay there head as well yes #but are they sleeping in the mud like they do in diamond city?#can you imagine what jet is good for? anxiety depression?#med-x with it's pain numbing properties? psycho in how it can likely be used to start a heart again during surgery?#despite the horrible name ill admit #mentats and how ghouls could maybe use them to help deal with dementia?#you go into town and everyone is like are you a freak? welcome home #talk shit and get hit otherwise enjoy your stay #the mayor is around to shoot the shit whenever #i have feelings about Goodneighbor okay #if you show up saying anyone who uses deserves to be treated less then dirt #solely because of their substance use then we can't be in the same room #i wish they could go to a local pharmacy and have all of their bills paid for while they pick up a neat little prescription #but Alas it is the post apocalypse and the Institution can't be bothered to help recuperate the Commonwealth #i might be working on more goodneighbor world building because is fun
