@forgivenpunishment // one taser might not do it, but what about...?

Holding off a wave of people was no small effort.

Keeping an army off the back of another person while throwing yourself in harm's way, regardless of your strength, was something noble. Something that deserved praise, recognition; the undertaker's efforts would not go unnoticed.

... unfortunately for him, though, it wasn't Vash that they wanted. It wasn't Vash that would be swarmed by fully-amped stun batons and tasers and more bodies trickling in, crowding the hall to prevent escape, or even basic movement that might've allowed him to get the upper hand as some old, croaking voice shrieked don't kill him! We need him alive, he's useless to us dead...!

That had been nearly an hour ago, now, though. Trivial. Shouts and crackles of electricity had been replaced by the din of machines; the hum of glaringly bright surgical lights; the slow, steady blip of a heart monitor keeping track of vitals as six men bustled around the surgical table that they'd strapped him to. They'd cut him out of his clothes to save time, as well; naked save for the various nodes and monitors they'd fastened to him, and a clean, white sheet over his hips that went down to mid-thigh.

Was that sparing his dignity, or theirs? It didn't really matter, did it. No, no, what mattered now was how the subject was feeling whenever he came to again--

landon conrad or jason vario?

Ask me about two celeb guys and I’ll tell you which I find more attractive.

There needs to be some type of service where I can send in an abandoned fanfic that I’ve read and someone else writes the rest of it. I’ve spent months to years reading some of these masterpieces just for them to be discontinued. It’s the fact that I still check for updates after four years of nothing 😩😭

i miss javier garcia. like what is up with that. where did he go. come home please.

[what-eats-owls]

hello :D

I love your books I was just wondering what profession Emeric's father had before he died

It's not a big deal but for some reason in my head he was a prefect but I know he probably isnt. (It might just be I think Emeric is some sort of nepo baby lmao)

Emeric's father Anselm worked as a bookbinder and also bookkeeper! The noodleboy comes by his nerdier tendencies honestly. If Anselm had been a prefect, he'd likely still be alive, or at least he wouldn't have been murdered by a small-town bailiff; we haven't really seen a prefect at their full power in this trilogy, and for hilarious reasons, we still won't in Holy Terrors.

One of the most critical aspects of Emeric's character is that he not only lost a loved one to violence at a young age, but the perpetrator was essentially a garden-variety cop who abused his position to defer justice. Not quite as critical, but still important, is that he was bullied fairly badly at the prefect training academy for not being a nepo baby, by peers who were supposed to be seeking to serve Justice.

All that to say, Emeric's iron politesse may sometimes read as sucking up, but it's a tactical mask over a healthy skepticism of (most) figures of authority/high status. We will meet an actual nepo baby in Holy Terrors (and if you're reading The Fallow Year, you probably know who.)

the stunning sequel

Fallout 4: Great Ideas, TERRIBLE Teamwork

Ever since Fallout 4 released, I've been unable to ignore its gaping narrative flaws. I can forget bad writing, but missed opportunities? Those cling to my brain like tumours.

If you look closely, you'll realize Fallout 4's writers weren't BAD, they just failed to coordinate to a frankly spectacular degree.

To start off small, you've got stuff like Kelogg's ghost speaking through Nick Valentine, only to then never show up again. This is especially bizarre when so much time is spent exploring his character AFTER you've killed him. One writer put a LOT of effort into ensuring we quite literally know Kelogg better than our own son... only for others to not follow up on that AT ALL.

Now, let's look at The Institute. HEAPS of neat ideas, there:

You've got the existential/ethical quandary of Bladerunner androids, the thrill of hunting down a nebulous organization with eyes everywhere, the intrigue of a secret robot doppelgänger conspiracy! Then you finally get there, and your OWN SON greets you! He shows you this clean utopia of human advancement that perfectly contrasts the horrible wasteland above, and makes you wonder if the Institute really IS the best hope for humanity...

...and THEN someone goes "oh also we've been turning people into Super Mutants and releasing them onto the surface for reasons that ARE NEVER EXPLAINED!"

Those Bladerunner androids that could be used to pose all sorts of existential/ethical quandaries? Nah they're basically just enslaved humans. That doppelgänger conspiracy that necessitated the creation of androids? Completely irrelevant. Also they're isolationists who want to leave the surface alone, despite that contradicting literally everything they've been doing.

Again, you can see the EXACT division between different writers here. One person was trying to create an evil faction like the Legion or Enclave, another was trying to create a neutral, morally grey faction like Mr. House. The plot is caught between these warring visions and is subsequently shot to death in the confusion.

And all I can do is sit there and imagine what could've been.

NPC appreciation week: day 1 - Curious Village / Diabolical Box

Marjorie and Conrad - Diabolical Box

These two are definitely minor minor characters, BUT I just cant resist the giggle I get seeing other mentor and student duos in the series. Conrad's character profile says Marjorie is his role model and he emulates her in every way! Adorable to see Layton isn't the only one with an eager little duckling following close behind hehe

(plus Marjorie writing popular mystery novels after work! Cute!!)
