Who is Butch's dad???

The biggest mystery of Vault 101 to me if the fact no one knows who Butch’s dad is, not even him, and Ellen was never married. According to the official Fallout 3 guide, the reason Butch acts out and is an overall terrible person is because his mother being an alcoholic and his lack of a father pushes him to be rebellious. Seeing the Lone Wanderer with perhaps the only caring dad in the vault may be why he targets them the most.

My theories are:

1) The Overseer. This one is far fetched, I know; but it is interesting to consider. If he is Butch’s father, it would make sense for him to enable Ellen’s alcoholism to keep her from sharing Butch’s father. Who would believe the vault drunk? Him employing the Tunnel Snakes may be to keep a close eye on Butch. However, considering the vault canonically has abortion pills according to voice lines, he would probably have Ellen flush out a pregnancy to avoid scandal.

2) Allen Mack. To be honest, everyone is related to the Mack family for some reason so let me throw him into the ring. This has some gross implications though; considering Susie refers to Butch as “dreamy” and Christine (who is a cousin to the Macks) “puts out,” I would like to wipe this one off the table all together. Also, Allen seems to love his wife Gloria very much, seeing how his personality completely switches after she dies.

3) A wastelander. This one is my favorite. If we take Butch’s birthday from this wiki at face value, he was born at the tail end of 2257, meaning he was conceived in February of 2257 give or take. If Alphonse closed the vault doors in 2257 or 2258, Ellen could have been one of the vault dwellers who made a trip to the wasteland beforehand. It could be plausible she met a wastelander, fell in love, Butch was conceived, and the vault doors were closed before or shortly after he was born. The loss of her love could have sparked her alcoholism, and again, if she says anything about the vault once being open, who would trust the vault drunk?

This is so interesting to me, especially since it was never touched on in the game. Maybe there's some tension in the vault from women who don't trust there husbands, wondering if their partner could be the father of Ellen's child, especially because she's regarded as a "fading beauty."

I almost posted this on /r/falloutlore before I read that speculation was against the rules :P oh well

Quick question would anyone read my dumb Fallout 3 fanfiction if I wrote it?

Every single time I play this game I feel starved of vault 101 content just because one of my favourite parts of Fallout lore is the vault experiments, and what life must be like in them. And uhhhh with vault 101's being like, the psychological effects of propaganda and authoritarianism and cult of personality I eat that shit RIGHT UP and never feel like the prologue is long enough. I kinda wanna drop my Lone Wanderer OC (his name's Donnovan Schauer) back into it and trace through those 3 years between 16 and 19 that we didn't see. And go through all the vault residents that I feel didn't get enough character development, like Ellen DeLoria and Jonas and Amata and officer Gomez who is the only valid cop imo. And pay special attention to Butch considering that 1. I think it would be interesting to explore his no doubt conflicted feelings towards his alcoholic mother, 2. He's my favourite 101 resident, 3. I wanna see that character development that goes from him bullying your Lone Wanderer to him running to you for help in Escape!, and 4. In Donnovan's lore I shipped them together.

Plus like, Donnovan's got daddy issues for days. I want more James content. I need more of Liam Neeson's powerful dad energy considering fo3's plot is just reverse Taken anyway. Gotta explore the daddy issues!

So yeah hey. Since xmas is coming up and I actually have friends this year, I thought I might share my game wish list? Since games are some of the better things to get me aside from just flatout money

remember that one time benny went onto ellen and gave a copy of fo3 away

[always-borrowed]

did new vegas have bad voice direction? bc i've heard matthew perry was a big fan of fallout and i dont feel like he would have phoned it in that bad if that were the case

I've tried to upload this ask like five times now but tumblr just really fucking hates me so I'm going to keep this shorter. Basically from what I can tell is that they didn't have much direction but most of the VAs were really experienced so it was okay for the most part except for Perry who hadn't really done too much like that prior

A Short-Sighted Man, Chapter 2: The Morning After

Rating: E (like, very E)

Universe: Fallout 3

Pairing: f!Lone Wanderer x Butch DeLoria

Prompt: It's prom night, and Felicity (unintentionally) makes a bet with Butch that she's not prepared to cash in. *eyebrow waggles* Eventual plot, but let's be honest, it's an excuse for me to write smut while I rewrite my currently unfinished fic with this same pairing *shrug*

Chapter Summary: Felicity returns the spare vault suit to Butch.

Excerpt: Felicity gripped the folded vault suit in her fist as she mentally prepared herself to knock on the DeLoria’s apartment door. She really didn’t want to be there. Butch’s taunting from yesterday night was still lingering in her thoughts every time she saw the puddled suit on the floor. His mom’s puddled suit, no less. It was a horrible, awful reminder of the brainless decision she made with an equally brainless individual, and she needed to get it out of her possession immediately.

Warnings: Explicit language, explicit sexual content

Tags: Slightly canon divergent, enemies to lovers, Lone becomes a sugar momma, Butch has a plan but he falls in love, there will be plot i promise, but not this chapter!

what if butch’s dad is alive in the wasteland and butch meets him and finds out his dad truly loved him and tried desperately to get inside the vault after it was closed
