#i'm just going to do it physically even if that means more achy joints

[technoxenoholic]

realizing that i'm going to have to work out what the yardage requirements are for my new pattern block, including for variations like the sleeveless or short-sleeved versions that will take up less fabric... hmmm. going to have to play around with layouts a bunch and see how things fit together

What do you think are Raul Tejadas favorite and least favorite kinks? I think he'd enjoy doing it in his costume 😂

Raul Tejada (New Vegas) NSFW Headcanons

Much like with Cooper Howard, I think that it's been a very, very long time since Raul's been with anyone physically. He's spent a large part of his long life pretty deep in depression and survival mode in a way that I don't think would really lend itself to slinging a ton of dick around the desert, you know? Possible that he may have had a partner or partners when he and his sister were ekeing out a living among the incredibly irradiated remains of Mexico City, but the fact that the place was so overrun with raiders and fiends that Raul felt he had to turn to vigilantism doesn't really seem to lend itself to much romance, either. I think he's rusty and not exactly actively searching for a partner, but love often finds us at the most unexpected times.

Would take a pretty grand gesture of desire, in my opinion, to really convince him that you want that sort of relationship with him. I mean candles, whatever semblance of lingerie you can scrounge up, throwing yourself in his lap and basically begging for him, the whole nine yards. Lay it on thick, tell him how much you want him, how much you care about him, and I think he'll be receptive to getting physical...but he'll be incredulous for a good, long minute first. He's just incredibly beat down after so many hardships throughout the years and his self-confidence is shot full of holes.

I'm not convinced he's a "full-on penetrative sex the first time you two hook up" guy. I think he would like a few encounters to get to know your body and what you enjoy before the two of you get to that point. I think he would let you touch him early on, but over the clothes. Mostly, the early encounters would be about him getting to know your desires and reacquainting himself with his own.

This poor, tired, achy old man would be fairly lazy during sex. Don't get me wrong, he's embarrassed about it, and he's got more than enough strength and energy to make sure you're satisfied, but he's a big fan of laying back and watching you ride him, having sex laying on your sides, letting you bounce on him in reverse cowgirl and control the pace...pretty much any position that takes the stress off of his back and joints is a favorite of his. However, he isn't above pinning you down, or even picking you up to fuck you if you misbehave enough.

Canonically has a sweet tooth, like most old men (fun fact: as people age, their taste buds weaken, and, as a result, many older people have an affinity for sweet and spicy food, as those two flavor profiles remain fairly easy to detect as the ability to taste more complex flavors degrades). I bet he'd like to lick something sweet off of your naked body an awful lot. Granted, things like honey or whipped cream are difficult or impossible to get your hands on in the Wasteland, depending on where you are, so it might not be the easiest thing to pull off. But hey, you never know when you might come across a little bit of chocolate that you can melt, or something similar. Hell, the way the man loves himself a Sunset Sarsaparilla, maybe you could just dribble some of that on yourself and let him go to town.

Due to his insecurities, he loves an enthusiastic partner. He loves to be flirted with, romanced right back, treated like you see him as desirable. Little romantic gestures turn him on a lot. PDA makes him nervous (you never know how people are going to react to the presence of a ghoul, let alone a ghoul claiming to have a human partner), but when you two are alone, he likes to give and receive lots of kisses, affectionate embraces, ass pinches, whatever.

I'm not sure I can see him having sex in the costume (mostly because of the way he internally associates it with the death of his sister), but I can certainly see him still liking to play with certain "vaquero"-type activities. Rope play, for example. I don't think he'd be unopposed to tying your hands up if you misbehave.

Ass man ass man ass man ass man. Dude is checking out what you've got back there every chance he gets. One of his favorite ways to communicate that he's in the mood is to saddle up behind you and slide his erection up and down the cleft of your ass; it makes him even harder.

Because of the things he's seen and experienced, he's not willing to be rough with you. Passionate, sure. He'll fuck you hard, physically, but he isn't interested in violent or rough foreplay/sex. No primal play/dubcon/CNC play with him. BDSM in general isn't really his thing.

He also refuses to have sex with you when you're intoxicated in any way. The idea that there could possibly be any blurred lines when it comes to your consent makes him very uncomfortable.

I'd like to say that the same thing is true about skeletonization. It can be extremely important to someone, and just because some people see it as gross or macabre doesn't make it so.

I do specimen preparation (hopefully will be doing so at a natural history museum in the future, once I get my applied museum studies diploma) and I'm actually very disappointed that I wasn't able to have my dog's remains skeletonized after her death.

I would have but COVID resulted in so many things being shut down including the place I would have sent her, she was a big girl and I couldn't do it myself...but I'd really wanted to be able to use her bones as a teaching tool for my dream display (arthritis and bone remodeling, starting from known examples of trauma and disease, then continuing on to look at fossils to try and see what kind of injuries the dinos may have had in life)

My dog had passed at eleven, but she was absolutely fascinating skeletally. She had been born with hip dysplasia, and had had a surgery called spinal denervation at around five because of pain in her hips. The combination of that and her severe arthritis would have done some extremely interesting things to her bones, as would have the issue with one of her front wrists (she'd had to wear a brace on it as she got older)

Her skeleton would have been an excellent teaching tool for bone remodeling/healing, long-term osteological damage of survibable genetic deformities, and the effects of arthritis. That would have been incredibly meaningful to me, moreso than the box of ashes that don't hold any information about who she had been and what she'd experienced.

//and before anyone gets upset about me holding on to her for so long when she had medical issues. If it had been severely affecting her quality of life I would have let her go earlier. She was happy despite her condition, she was part lab and enjoyed her food, it was one of the ways I tracked her quality of life. If she was too achy to try and steal raw potatoes from the cold room then she was not doing well, she loved raw potatoes.

Her medication handled her discomfort well, the brace helped, and the spinal denervation had also made it much easier for her to be happy. That dog wanted to go on long walks, even at 11 with old lady joints and aches she'd try and go until her hips gave out and I had to get mum to come pick us up in the car. She wasn't the kind of dog to slow down or stop, it was only once she wasn't able to do the things she loved that it was time to let her go.

That dog was my best friend for 10 years, and I'd have liked to keep her with me in a more physical form, and to use her to help teach people and show them things. That doesn't mean it's gross or macabre, it's just another way to keep the loved ones close, just like an urn on a mantlepiece.

pet taxidermy isn’t even that weird and your belief that burying formerly living things is the only respectful thing to do to them after death is actually your cultural Christianity showing……love saying this shit to stir up controversy and be contrarian
