#murder of caesar

[toffee32]

Ever since I finished my Vulpes Inculta / Courier Six fancomic I wanted to draw a short epilogue because I left the most important moment of their relationship not drawn, and to let Vulpes explain his complicated feelings towards Mila, whom he's learning to please and love. ♡

so I'm making a powerpoint presentation about Re-Animator (and Bride of Re-Animator) (don't ask) and even though I'm *certain* that someone has pointed this out here on the gay trans herbert west webbed site, here's one of the images for my incredibly normal presentation.

Campfire tales and urban legends of The Mojave:

I like to imagine that there's some campfire tales and urban legends spread throughout The Mojave told by scavengers, prospectors, traders, mercenaries and NCR recruits to pass the time. Some of these you may have already heard like The Legend of The Sierra Madre Casino or The Horrors of The Divide or whispers about The Burned Man, but you haven't heard of these.

Some of these are based on old urban legends that were passed around on game forums back in the day, others are based on dialogue and some are based on old. creepypastas.

So let's see what campfire tales and urban legends are told in The Mojave hm?

Lone Wolf Radio: Many scavengers and prospectors have discovered the eerie sight of Lone Wolf Radio an abandoned trailer on a hill not too far from Goodsprings Source with various tin cans, electronics, radio devices and various junk spread around the trailer whoever lived in this trailer is long gone and only the graffiti left by them remains: "Everyone is gone, I am all alone, let it all end." Not many scavengers and prospectors go to Lone Wolf Radio anymore due to the urban legend told about it. The urban legend goes that in the late hours of the morning a radio signal will be found called "Lone Wolf Radio", the DJ of this odd radio station is a man who simply calls himself "The Lone Wolf" who will go on incoherent ramblings until 3 in the morning when he will bring a child on air and say "Everyone is gone, I am all alone, let it all end." before killing the child on air and then the signal will be lost. There is no evidence of this "Lone Wolf" person existing nor is their the remains of any dead children around the abandoned radio station nor has there been any "Lone Wolf Radio" station ever been found but nonetheless nobody really goes to The Lone Wolf Radio site ever since this urban legend popped up.

Old Lady Gibson: Now, you might be wondering "What's so scary about Old Lady Gibson? She's just a little old lady who lives in a scrap yard with her dogs." Well, the story goes some drunken NCR recruits stumbled upon the old shack not too far from the scrap yard and encountered a disturbing sight, a skeleton laying on a bloody mattress and a bloody machete stabbed into the nearby wall with a disembodied finger held into the wall by the machete. Now, it's not actually said who the blood, the finger or the skeleton belongs to but the story changes from person to person. Some say that the blood, finger and skeleton belongs to the husband of Old Lady Gibson who she murdered and hid his body in the shack. Another idea is that the blood, finger and skeleton belongs to Old Lady Gibson and the one who lives in the scrap yard isn't the real Old Lady Gibson who murdered the real Old Lady Gibson and assumed her identity. It makes sense why Elijah took temporary refuge in the shack due to the urban legend surrounding the shack and Old Lady Gibson herself.

The City Under The Mojave: Another story that's spread about is that there is an ancient alien city beneath The Mojave Wasteland, some say that the city belonged to a cult who worshipped Ug-Qualtoth, others believe it's an ancient alien city, some say it's both. Nobody has actually found this ancient city but most stories of the legend say that the entrance to the city is somewhere in the north by Horowitz Farmstead due to some scavengers and prospectors claiming to see an alien shuttle overlooking the nearby cliffs and three green humanoid creatures skulking about below, in search of something.

Area 51: This one has some merit unlike the other three urban legends, Area 51 is a pre-war government facility in Nevada which everyone knows about, the problem is, nobody seems to be able to find Area 51 which is why most wastelanders believe it to be an urban legend. Some believe that Area 51 is the real entrance to the ancient city under The Mojave and could possibly be near Horowitz Farmstead but again, nobody has actually been able to find the facility.

The Lake Mead Monster: Now, you may believe that The Lake Mead Monster is simply just the plane that was at the bottom of the lake but the legend of The Lake Mead Monster existed long before the plane even surfaced. Some believe that The Lake Mead Monster is some type of mutated aquatic life similarly to the lakelurks but nobody has actually seen any proof or evidence of this supposed Lake Mead Monster.

The Numbers Station: One of the more older urban legends of The Mojave. The story goes that an odd broadcast had been found some time before The Battle of Hoover Dam. The DJ is a depressed, monotoned voiced man who reads out some numbers before the rest of the broadcast is a series of beeps which have been decoded to be morse code. It's said in the urban legend that the first set of numbers and beeps predicted the return of Mr. House, another set of numbers and beeps predicted The NCR succeeding in holding The Hoover Dam and another predicted the events of Bitter Springs and eeriely enough, all three of these predictions have happened. The story varies here stating that other predictions would be the destruction of The Mojave Chapter of The Brotherhood, the destruction of Searchlight, the massive jailbreak of The NCRFC, the death of Chief Hanlon, the death of Caesar, the death of President Kimball, the death of Mr. House, The NCR continuing to hold The Dam, The Legion taking The Dam, Mr. House taking The Dam, a mysterious force over securitrons and various other unseen before technologies led by one singular person taking The Dam, a strange serious of bizarre scientific happenings destroying The Mojave, ghosts immune to gunfire and a blood red mist enveloping The Mojave and the mysterious nuking of The Long 15 and the Legion settlement of Dry Wells, unlike the first three predictions however, none of these have happened yet.

I was at a party with my middle school bullies and unbeknownst to me they conspired to kill me at said party and stabbed me to death, Julius Caesar-style.

hello it's the vulpes anon again . thank you for your condolences i appreciate it. however i think im going insane. the vulpes brainrot has been creeping on me and i fear i am powerless to stop it. which is very unfortunate because i still hate him and i think he's the worst and i kill him in every playthrough an d i absolutely agree that he's a cringefail little guy but that drawing. oooghhhgjh. it changed my brain chemistry. this is all your fault and i hate you (im fully kidding i love you and your art) the ao3 suggestion is a good idea but that would only fuel the rot so i think my best bet would be to block him everywhere and pray 2 every god ever that i don't fall into vulpes inculta fallout new vegas hell because that would be cringe of me

that's a good idea feel better soon anon 🙏 he is the worst here he is being mean to eli hope it can help your rehabilitation from vulpes brainrot

Grant Gustin resurgence on the Ides of March

[canisalbus]

this is a kind of morbid question i guess, but have you thought about the details of machete's assassination? who did it, were they paid off by someone else, how did they kill him, so forth? i've mostly been imagining a julius caesar type situation but im curious if that part of the story took shape in your mind too

I monologued about it a bit in the tags of this post not too long ago (fair warning, it's morbid)

What Are your thoughts on cinna

***ALL OF THIS ANSWER IS PREDICATED ON BOOK 1. IF THIS IS ADDRESSED IN LATER BOOKS I WOULD BE THRILLED.***

cinna's job, his literal livelihood as presented in these novels, is packaging and selling children up to a live audience for eventual slaughter. it is horrifying. he is complicit, perhaps the most complicit a person could be, in all the exploitation that occurs. this at bare minimum should make him misguided, at worst horrifically sinister. he is not presented as either.

as of right now, he is being presented as a complete good guy. katniss is pleased and flattered by the nice clothes he dresses her in, his "girl on fire" image is treated as a gift because it gives her an edge, and his attempts to provide emotional comfort seem to be very genuine. katniss is not made uncomfortable by his efforts to package her into a palatable concept - she is glad that he is nice to her.

in a subtler work, I would take this to mean that katniss has been taken in by his outward image and is blind to the ways that he is using her to further his career. but the hunger games is incredibly unsubtle when katniss' viewpoint is meant to be unreliable, and the rest of the time, her viewpoint is always confirmed to be 100% factual even in situations where that makes no sense. it is not a work that hides it when a character is meant to be sinister. which is fine, because this is a story for middle schoolers. but it ruins a lot of the story's alleged societal critique if cinna is never treated as even remotely culpable for his role in the games. I don't have much faith in the story's ability to reckon with that, considering how many other interesting moral dilemmas the book tends to gloss over.
