We murdered the Gunners.

We invaded The Gunner Plaza. It was oddly glorious. There were Institute Synths, a Nightingale, a Railroad Agent, and even a few of my Minutemen.

I also think that the Agent and The Courser were low key into each other.

I think I'm seeing a lingering glance between them.

freshly born gen3 nick had longer hair and a bit of beard happening by the time he got back to goodneighbor, which usually looks weird to me, but ive seen enough gale baldursgate fanart by now to be somewhat ok w it

A rare emotional X6-88 inspired by all the conversations I have with @thesettlementneedingyourhelp about his struggle with personhood post-institute

I made her into a lil dress up doll.

I’m writing her story and it’s here if you wanna read it.

I’m not a super huge writer but I’m having fun.

Hey, all. It’s your friendly neighborhood synth biology expert,* here to remind you of the horrifying reality that Gen 3 synths can canonically glitch out.

*this user is not a biology expert, synth or otherwise

Update: The primary drive message is confirmed in dialogue to be about early-Gen synths. Which means that A#-## designations do apply to them, meaning J2-84 could have also been a robo-synth.

the thing about X6 is that he's essentially a slave given to the Sole Survivor by the Institute. and I think that the fandom's treatment of him would be different if the game addressed it or even just said it

Template for anyone who feels up for some shitposting.

Here's a quick example on how you can use it.

And here's if you just want a react image.

Have fun!

Is Shaun Nora's child? If so, does she view X6 as family due to his closeness to Father, or just as a friend?

shaun is nora's biological child, yep, and post-institute when asked she says she has two sons (referring to shaun and synth!shaun--but a minor plot point in my fic is that she doesn't tell anyone about synth!shaun being a synth. if pressed for details, she just says her eldest passed away recently and that typically shuts down any further questions).

oh, edited to add bc i don't think i was clear: she treats synth!shaun as a son too. she takes to him straightaway. he's still a child who views her as his mother, and she still wants to be a parent. they have a good relationship.

she does view x6 as family, but in a found-family sort of way that doesn't have anything to do with them sharing dna. she thinks shaun calling himself "father" is extremely--i think paternalistic is the right word, and she emphatically does not approve. she feels family is a lot more than genetic material, and so is parenthood, which relates back to her family situation mentioned here.

she and x6 grow close as they work together and kind of outside the bounds of father's knowledge. x6 is a smart guy and figures out nora's still working for the railroad, and for his own reasons keeps it to himself, and nora's aware that if she actually reported how snarky and independent x6 is, he'd be sent to reconditioning. so their relationship is tense for a while, but eventually grows genuine and very close.

i think outside of nick, x6 is the companion she's closest with by the end of things.
