#fallout oc in symbolism

[kapi-tanka]

thanks to chimaerakid, werewolfnoir and f3arofmusic for inspiration! had so much fun drawing these, more about my characters will be under the cut. honestly i'm obsessed with this meme template now. i wish there were more fallout oc symbolism drawings. so um.. mutuals and fallout people in general, maybe you want to draw these too? maybe it could become some sort of a tag, even? (i hope it's okay to tag you. i'd tag even more people but it's too much tags already and i'm not sure if some of you have ocs)

i'm tagging: @asougi-engineerin @auntiemurdoc @crystallizedmiracle @hatmause @cyberobsessed @thebigolbee @datura-tea @boowomp @plasma-packin-mama @xykcta @somethingaboutmint @fnvne @wastelandhell @milramemo @thapunqueen @zeniffzen @super-shishkebab

i basically have 3 couriers who are relatives. my main one is oscar, but there's also his sibling andrea/andy and their uncle ovidio aka the ramirez of their family (oscar and andy are almost never referred to by their last name). all of them exist in the same timeline but they don't interact much during the events of the game (because of lots of family drama basically). i made three main characters because i feel like oscar can't cover a lot of fnv content due to lack of time plus dlcs don't match his vibes at all. so andy is my old world blues and dead money protag, and ovidio is honest hearts and lonesome road protag. i "gave" them some base game content too.

andy travels with raul and lily, she's a huge non-humans sympathizer. ovidio travels with cass and boone and he's very ncr-aligned. and my man oscar works towards the independence with arcade and veronica. i'm glad to tell more if you're interested!

yay I finished! :D thatks to @kapi-tanka for tagging me on this move, that was SO interesting to make :3 (I'm not good in symbolism or something like that, so sheeesh it wasn't easy and may seem dumb :'D) my headcanon is that the vault 13 canteen belongs to Danny's caregiver grandfather, so it's important to him and the canteen is here as the personification of the courier, as an item that is always with him i'm tagging: @brovitranduila @lavietstsari

@kapi-tanka, thanks for tagging! I had a lot of things to tell about my poor little meow meow and you just gave me a significant reason eheheh. Tony Nguyeng is my second Sole Survivor from Fallout 4. He sticks to the Institute and X6-88, as a great robot lover. He's an engineer, though he has no higher education. He lost at least 4 families and now considers his friends as his family. Who can find all the references and easter eggs?

[daysofauldlangsyne]

okay i finally finished these! my couriers in symbolism!

Andrea is my first courier, happy-go-lucky woman who makes friends easily, and Vera is my second courier whom I made just to hang out with some npcs but then I grew attached to her.

he says, it's mine to give, but it's yours to choose you're gonna sink or swim, you're gonna learn the truth

no matter what you do you're gonna learn the truth

Next trio of Hazbin Hotel songs is for Life, Despair & Monsters, A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore (TW for that) and The UnTitledverse as well as template for the two main protagonists of An Old Ballad Of Chance And Ember Hearts Trilogy. You can listen and view below the cut and find the blank template at the bottom:

[TW: Minor discussion of Fallout's in-game representation of substance abuse and addiction first up]

In my Fallout 4 WIP A Symbol For A Better World, there's a topic that I believe has never been handled properly (amongst many other topics) in majority of the Fallout games (but most especially those influenced by Todd Howard), and that is of addiction, and characters afflicted by addiction. It's something I noticed in Fallout New Vegas and had become evident to me in Fallout 4, and one of the many things I wanted to personally do justice in my A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore, especially when it comes to companion quests, most specifically Cait's. Her story ends with her addictions being magically cured by a machine that instantly gets rid of addictions, something that I've noticed had brought a sour taste in many people's mouths. Now I'm still working on the WIP, especially with Cait's story, so it's probably gonna be a while before that comes out. Here's "Poison", another Hazbin Hotel song that I think tackles the topics of substance abuse (including the victim often suffering under the people/supplier exploiting the victim's addictions), a few really unhealthy coping mechanisms for the addict themselves and the shitty experience of that in general rather well. I acknowledge it doesn't entirely encapsulates everyone's experiences with addiction but it is something that does happen. Listen below:

"I got so good at bein' untrue I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear I disassociate, disappear Yeah, yeah, yeah

So far beyond difficult To resist another gulp

Yeah, I know it's poison, you're feedin' me poison I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow Up your poison, I made my choice And every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow

Oh-oh, oh-oh Any way you want me, baby That's the way you got me, I'll be yours My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

Poison, I'm drownin' in poison I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison Wish I had somethin' to live for tomorrow."

Next song is my all-time favorite Hazbin Hotel song, "Loser, Baby", and even though I've done this from an older post, I'll do it again! One of the key relationships in my House Of The Dragon WIP The Thorned Crown Of Iron Thrones is between Prince Aegon II Targaryen and former assassin Okkotsu. Aegon and Okkotsu meet after the disastrous funeral for Laena where arguments were had and blood was spilled and fingers were pointed and family secrets emotionally damaged Aegon's older adopted brother Corvus. In the chaotic fray, Aegon runs off into the nearby woods to get some alone time, before bumping into Okkotsu, a rather infamous woman from a foreign land who attempted to assassinate the Targaryen royals several times before she gave up when it nearly costed her life one too many times. Aegon feels like a failure to his family, Okkotsu is a self-accepted failure, and they bond over this. This is a key canon-divergence, as unlike Viserys who mentally checked out on raising Alicent's children, as well as Rhaenyra, who wants nothing to do with her younger half-brother, Okkotsu, although she doesn't become his step-dad, instead she becomes the dad who steps up. And that's not hyperbole, I literally have a line saved for her where she more or less tells Aegon "don't worry, I'll be your dad from now on". And through the power of accepting themselves as poor sopping wet meow-meow pathetic blorbo screw-ups, she unknowingly changes the course of Aegon's future as he's no longer an unsympathetic piece of shit... he's just the first cringefailure loser in Westeros. "Loser, Baby" can be listened to below:

"So things look bad, and your back's against the wall Your whole existence seems fuckin' hopeless You're feelin' filthy as a dive bar bathroom stall Can't face the world sober and dopeless You've lost your way, you think your life is wrecked Well, let me just say you're correct!"

"Wait, what?"

"You're a loser, baby A loser, goddamn baby You're a fucked-up little whiny bitch! ("Hey!") You're a loser just like me!" ("Thanks, asshole!")

You're a screws-loose boozer An only one-star reviews-er You're a power-bottom at rock bottom But you got company! ("This supposed to make me feel better?")

There was a time I thought that no one could relate To the gruesome ways in which I'm damaged But lettin' walls down, it can sometimes set you straight We're all livin' in the same shit sandwich!"

"I've been born to high-borne royalty!" *

"Haha! And you think that makes you unique? Get outta here, man!

We're both losers, baby We're losers, it's okay to be a-" "Blitzed-out, booze-drinkin' ho?" * "...Baby, that's fine by me."

"I'm a loser, honey A schmoozer and a dummy But at least I know I'm not alone!" "You're a loser just like me!"

"I got an appetite for gamblin'!" "I got an appetite for samplin' every drug and fine wine I can find!" * "Go ahead, baby, sing that song!"

"I got no coin left to spend up!" * "I gave up my mission to save myself * Now I'm stuck on the run!" * "I'm trapped and it gets worse every hour!"

"You're a loser, baby!" "A loser, but just maybe if we-" "Eat shit together, things will end up differently!"

"It's time to lose your self-loathin' Excuse yourself, let hope in, baby Play your card, be who you are!"

"A loser just like me!"

[* First change, Aegon hasn't literally sold his soul to anyone specifically, so being born into royalty (and all the burdens and consequences that come with that) was an easier substitute. Second change, Aegon mostly drinks and hasn't been up to sexual activities at this time (or any time from that point on). Also I put Okkotsu's little "..." pause to that since while she's not exactly judgemental, she is a little concerned. Third change, there are drugs in Westeros I've managed to find out... and also sex toys don't exist at this stage so "fine wine" was a clear and effective substitute. Fourth change, again, as stated in the second change, Aegon hasn't been up to any sexual activities at this stage, so I alluded to his gambling problem instead. Fifth & sixth changes, since Okkotsu hasn't made a deal with any demons that make her obligated to follow their commands, I instead replaced those lyrics with the fact that Okkotsu's given up her assassin career which simultaneously lets her keep her own life but puts her on the other side of both the law and the royalty who sent her after the Targaryens.]

In my Hazbin Hotel WIP Smile Tunes, Alastor is still as mysterious as ever, and Lucifer still retains his goofball tendencies, and both still one-up the other when trying to impress on Charlie's daddy's girl status, but one thing that's changed in my WIP is Samuel's presence. Samuel does not trust Alastor at all, and in fact is the one person trying to investigate who exactly Alastor is, what his game is for the hotel, and why exactly he went missing seven years prior. Samuel also becomes a sort of solid rock presence for Lucifer (whose a second father to him) to rely on and a big hand in helping Lucifer with his depression. Samuel in fact is one of the few people in his inner-court that Lucifer trusts without question, hence why he has Samuel keep an eye out on Charlie because Lucifer trusts that Samuel can look out for her. On another note with Lucifer's involvement, the King of Hell himself is absolutely baffled by the presence of Kingsley (much like Vaggie, hint hint, nudge nudge) despite the fact Kingsley should be recognizable as an exorcist, or at least an angel, due to his close resemblance too them, which alarms Samuel (and Vaggie) on what exactly Kingsley could be. Because if he isn't recognizable as an angel to the most infamous fallen angel of all... than what is Kingsley? Anyway, time to bop to "Hell's Greatest Dad":

"Haha! Looks like you could use some help From the big boss of Hell himself Check out Daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp! ("Five stars! Flawless! Greater than great!") Oh, with the punch of a pentagram I wap-bam-boom, alakazam Usually, I charge a sacrificial lamb But you get the family rate!" "Thanks, Dad!"

"Who needs a busboy now that you've got the chef? ("Whoa-oh-oh!") Michelin-tasting menu, free à la carte I'll rig the game for you because I'm the ref Champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just the start!"

"Who's been here since day one? Who's been faithful as a nun? Who makes you chuckle with an old-timey pun? Your executive producer! ("That's true!") I'm your guy, your day-to-day Your chum, your steadfast hotelier Remember when I fixed that clog today?" "I was stuck, thank you, sir!" ("Oh, you!")

"I'm truly honored that we've built such a bond ("Aww!") You're like the child that I wish that I had ("Uh, what?") I care for you, just like a daughter I spawned ("Hold on now!") It's a little funny, you could almost call me dad!

They say when you're looking for assistance It's smart to pick the path of least resistance!" "Others say that in your needy hour There's no substitute for pure angelic power! Who just happens to also be your blood!" "Sadly, there are times a birth parent is a dud

They say the family you choose is better!" "What a bunch of losers!" "Can you butt out of my song?" "Your song? I started this!" "I'm singing it, I'll finish it!" "Oh, you tacky piece of-!"

And lastly a ship aesthetic template for the two now officially named main protagonists of An Old Ballad Of Chance And Ember Hearts Original Trilogy; Jade Smith and Jasmine Rafiq, including their faceclaims too! Read up on them below:

Made my fallout OC in the template thing ive seen around

Original

[w98pops]

I've finally got my wretched evil hands on this template. got a little corny, but overall love how this turned out.

translations of the lyrics for anyone wondering ⬇️

roughly, they sound like

"my body is tangled in veins

and my blood is the right color

with the milk of my mother

i embrace the teachings of my father."

this but like 😭 rhymed and beautifully written. this is a song (as i interpret it for wendy) about blindly respecting tradition and following the footsteps of the ancestors.

its called Lin Hwan and it's made by a russian indie band Cheese People, coolest guys ever!! check out their other works, they sing both in russian and english :)

[bogchampion]

i combined that one oc symbolism template into a single prompt for tristan. yes the bird is heavily ref'd lmao.

color: sky blue

fauna: blue jay

flora: red columbine (love & anxiety)

object: 'hog's tooth' bullet necklace

song: the sniper at the gates of heaven - the black angels

feeling: spiraling

[koilarist]

Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul - But I know, when I die, my soul is damned.

[shslivalice]
