They should make a fallout game set in Florida, it would be so funny, Sunshine Wasteland. The flamingos are not mutated for whatever reason. Radioactive swamps full of the most terrifying mutant crocodiles and alligators. A retirement home full of old ghouls who haven't stopped playing shuffleboard for the last 200 years. Raider gang full of Florida men.

TF2 Casual is still a bot wasteland (the petition's at 285k+ signatures currently and valve has said nothing) but every now and then you run into another real person which I consider a personal victory, haha. Under these conditions what else can you do, there isn't any other way to win! Shout out to you, CRINGE-ineer gaming, wherever you are.
Remember to go to save.tf and sign the petition if you haven't already! And if you still can lol. The bot hosters are big mad about the #fixtf2 tag right now from what I've been seeing in casual.

#team fortress 2#medic#heavy#sniper#engineer#z art#z comic#very weird behavior from bots lately from what i've seen#also shout-out to cringe-ineer for not being weird about me being a lady#can never take that for granted in any multiplayer online thing#there's something about human connection persisting in the face of endless antagonistic artificial destructiveness#even in a complete wasteland people are still trying and finding each other and dancing#those few brave souls out there fighting the good fight

"Have you no more memories?"
I am made of memories.
"Speak, then."
#qsmp fanart#that quote is from The Song Of Achilles#beautiful book#HUGE spoiler warning#in the last scene of the book patroclus and thetis are sitting together at achilles' grave watching the sunset#patroclus has just finished recounting the entirety of his life with achilles to thetis#and despite how much the two hated each other; and despite how much disdain thetis had for patroclus for being a human#for the first time in her life thetis understands how much those two meant to each other and how much achilles loved patroclus#and so she lets patroclus travel to the next world to be with him; she sends him off so they can be together#“go” she says. “he waits for you.”#that's basically what I'm thinking of here#an AU wherein which Fit and Madagio find themselves in each others' paths again and Madagio sees that Fit's grief hasn't swallowed him whol#Madagio is curios because he has never understood how to deal with grief in a way that isn't revenge#and asks about it#he asks about the rosebushes and the goggles#and after the two sit for days in a far-out reach of the wasteland; fit talking and madagio listening#madagio decides maybe he can spare the time and effort. maybe he can find a way to reunite fit with pac and ramon;#even if it's just for a minute#qsmp#fitmc#fitpac#madagio#qsmp madagio#54625art#holy shit sorry for yappin so much#mcyt#mcytblr

Hancock: Mama Murphy this jet be straight bussin' fr fr no cap
Mama Murphy, not understanding a damn thing he said: Thank you sir, I love when you visit Mayor Hancock
#these two are speaking to each other in a foreign language only the most jetted out wastelanders can parse#this is going to be a flop and I know but I just like to think Hancock talked like a stoner and super relaxed before being the mayor#and so like hes not used to sound authoritative but is stuck doing it so when hes at sanctuary he just goes wild#and its the worst like thing youve ever heard but that like him#inflicting psychic damage on everyone but MacCready#cause MacCready is like an ipad adult in my mind he needs to be at the club fr#also this is the funniest thing to me like the meme this comes from cause I love like wanna be cool yt boy and his overly loving gma like#its the only humerous wojak cause I can b hear the voices#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#hancock fo4#john hancock#mama murphy

the way hozier titles a song "i, carrion (icarian)" where he sings about the self-destructive idea of sacrificing himself by flying into sun to save his relationship, and compares himself to 'carrion', the decaying flesh of animals, often a word used for roadkill. to then go and write a song called "abstract (psychopomp)" about how holding an animal whilst it dies mirrors the mercy of ending a failing relationship, similar to a 'psychopomp' - a deliverer of death. and we watch as hozier turns from 'icarian' to 'psychopomp' when he realises that prolonging suffering is crueler than just letting love die. i'm both in awe and crying on my bedroom floor.
and the way a carrion crow is also a symbol of death ?? and how 'carrion' sounds like 'carry on' the way icarus kept going ?? and how he sounds envious of his lover's courage in "abstract" ?? how when the sun is gone - "streetlights in the dark blue" - he can no longer blind himself and is forced to look at the corpse of his relationship ?? how to love is to let go ?? how can he keep getting away with this i'm sobbing ??
#the icarian and abstract mirroring goes CRAZY#i could go for hours if you want me to i will i will never shut up#and we aren't even MENTIONING 'inferno'#how dante grows meaner the further he descends#the way 'inferno' gets darker with each circle and#how 'icarus' is about the light of day but 'abstract' is the darkness of night#ripping my hair out btw#hozier's inferno#hozier#unreal unearth#lyric analysis#i am chewing walls#wasteland baby

you know what. fermentation, smoking, canning, pickling, curing, drying, and other methods of food preservation have been popular since before the invention of modern technologies. as is milling grains for rice and bread. these are things that you can do as long as you know the process and have the proper tools.
with that in mind... why is eating 200 year old pre-war food still a viable option for people of the wasteland? by 2281, there are farms. there are ranches. the ingredients are there. the know-how and tools are there. the recipes are there! it's not as easy as just going to a supermarket, but y'know, there's also trade. do you want some bighorner jerky in exchange for brahmin tallow? hey, give me some canned mutfruit and i'll cook you the most delicious deep fried giant ant with garlic and chilies and some lime juice on the side. take this sourdough loaf and firegecko menudo before you go. i just!! there are so so many interesting options and instead we get bland steaks and meat on a stick!!! why is wasteland cuisine so boring!!!
#shh peri shhh#eating 200 yr old cram? cant be me#im out here injecting some flavor into wasteland cuisine baby!!!!!!!!!!

Things that I know.
1. Yaoi is the opposite of yuri
2. According to tumblr, yuri seems to be just about anything, but I have most commonly seen it take the form of two inanimate objects in close proximity to one another. Eg minecraft furnace and crafting table, trains crashing into each other, etc.
Therefore, we can conclude that Yaoi is two inanimate objects that are very far apart from each other. The sun and the earth are yaoi.
#sun#earth#yaoi I guess#this too is yuri#this too is yaoi#I dunno how to tag its 11:17pm and nobody should ever expect anything from me#I’ll tag this as minecraft too why not#minecraft#trains#part of me said this to be funny and part of me loves the idea of the sun and the earth as a metaphor for romance#without the sun the earth would be cold and lifeless#a barren wasteland that could never imagine a hopeful future#yet the sun? without the earth it’s still the sun. sure it’s not THE sun but it still exists and it’s still there#the earth needs the sun. something that could leave at any time but chooses to stay out of love. the earth cannot benefit the sun#in any meaningful way but it does what it can because it wants to show the sun that it has noticed and it cares and it loves#humans-part of the earth. place the sun in their religions. their stories. anything to make the sun feel special.#the sunflowers. birds. ocean. all these parts of the earth chip in somehow. they want the sun to feel the love the earth feels for the sun#but the sun already feels that love#and the sun hopes the earth knows it#and the sun stays by the earth’s side because it loves the earth.#truly the best example of yaoi out there

Hmmm after rewatching furiosa yet again... rambling nonsense ahead...
That scene where Jack pulls the knife out of her shoulder, then pads it gently, is perhaps the closest thing to Wasteland Eroticism that we get.
She doesn't ask him to take it out, nor does Jack need permission to do so. He just reaches over and rips it out and she is *so relieved*, you can see it in her shoulders. Her entire upper half just gives in to relief.
And then he dresses it. I mean just barely, but it's more than he would probably bother doing for himself. He just slips a cloth under the padding there with a shove of his fingers, but he doesn't just move on with it. He rests his hand there for a moment, practically rubbing the shoulder guard, just as he kept his hand around her wrist longer than needed in the nightmare scene. Even as her breath slowed back to normal.
And we can tell how much it meant to Furiosa. I swear to fuck that she leans into his touch (could just be the movement of the rig). It's a promise that he'll be there to take care of it (for real) later. And, later indeed, before they introduce the hydroponics oasis cave thing, Jack touches her shoulder and nods and away they go. There is no way that that is the first time either of them had been there. The whole thing is a fucking allegory (perhaps also a fucking allegory. Wouldnt that be something?)
And the knife. Yet another reminder of the grueling hellscape they're in gets lodged in her shoulder. But Jack is there to take it out and dress it. Jack is there to help her keep her head on her shoulders. She knew he was going to take her to the oasis from the moment he pulled the knife out.
Do you think she looked forward to it?
#furiosa#furyjack#praetorian jack#wasteland flirting involves ripping blades out of each other#i dont make the rules#mad max furiosa#furiosa: a mad max saga#stupid rambling but i need to get it out it is physically painful#i am very very normal

Ain’t That A Kick In The Head
The funny part about it is that this Courier Six doesn’t even kill him he just threatens the fuck outta him
Bloodless alt:
Some Benny doodles too but these are a bit more old so they’re also a bit more shit
#I went from ‘why does everyone call him Benny Gecko that’s not canonically his last name’ to understanding the whimsy of it#I get Benny Gecko now#my art#fallout new vegas#fallout#new vegas#fallout nv#fallout new vegas art#fallout new vegas fanart#courier six#fnv courier#courier oc#courier 6#fallout oc#fallout original character#fnv oc#Gazer Valmorida#benny gecko#fallout benny#fnv benny#fnv swank#minor blood warning#I need to mess around with how I draw Benny more#I like him in the main rendered piece but that’s a side profile#the doodles are from when I was figuring out how to draw him lol#the story for Gazer and his decision with Benny is basically he had ended up assassinating Casear the first time he was at the fort#and killing Benny point blank there seemed like kind of the easy way out for him to Gazer#Benny kind of gets the ol sentence of suffering in the wasteland with only the clothes on his back
