Hi! Could I request the SFW alphabet for Desdemona, please?

Also, I really like your username <3

➼ Word Count » 1.2k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ A/N » You're so sweet, Nonnie! Hope you had a nice day <3

A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Dez isn’t a very physical person. She’s busy and doesn’t have the time or patience to do anything like that. Instead, she shows her affection through her words, vocally standing up for you or simply telling you how important you are to the Railroad (and her, but she doesn’t want to pick favorites).

B - Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

In every timeline, the friendship starts with synths and the Railroad. She’s an incredibly supportive friend and always seems to be there whenever anything goes down. She’s not afraid to speak up for you and defend you whenever she deems it necessary. If you’re a part of her cause then you’re a part of her family, and she’d be damned if you caught any fire for it.

C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

She’s not doing that, so you can just forget it. Touching isn’t her thing. The most you’d ever get is a firm pat on the back.

D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

One day she would. She’s more than a decent cook and would love to have a child, but for now, her job will have to come first. The apocalypse isn’t exactly the easiest environment to raise a child in, and her survival and the survival of those around her is the most important thing right now.

E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

She’d be very direct with you. She prefers it that way, whether that be the business-driven person within her or not. She’d give it to you straight and as professional as possible, although, the slightest bit of emotion is guaranteed to show.

F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

She’s fine with commitment, but would rather wait till the Railroad was in a more stable place before officially tying the knot. Getting married in the middle of a war isn’t always the best course of action.

G - Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Dez is just the right amount of gentle to where she’s kind but doesn’t coddle you. You’ll always get the truth from her and, unless you did something outrageous, she wouldn’t find it in her to shout at you or anything.

H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Her hugs are rare, only happening when something big has gone down. When you finally destroyed the Institute, she let out a huff of disbelief before enveloping you in a tight, albeit short, hug.

I - I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

She’s more of a “show don’t tell” type of person. She doesn’t say she loves you often, but you can always tell through her infinite actions. Sometimes she’ll give you extra boxes of Cram, and that’s how you’ll understand she cares.

J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Dez feels very secure in herself and her relationships and just doesn’t have it in her to feel jealous of anyone. She will, however, get pretty vocal if she notices someone getting a bit too handsy with you, but it’s more so you don’t feel uncomfortable than her being jealous.

K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Firm and long. She never knows when one kiss will be your last, so she always makes sure they count, and they’re always on your lips.

L - Little ones (How are they around children?)

She’s amazing with kids. Dez doesn’t always get the chance to be around them in her line of work, so she likes to make a point of playing along whenever she does. She’ll humor their questions, and hand them little trinkets and whatnot.

M - Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings are spent restocking the deaddrops and mapping out the next course of action.

N - Night (How are nights spent with them?)

The nights are spent counting heads to make sure everyone survived another day, before taking a quick smoke break in the pews of the church.

O - Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

She’s built on secrecy, therefore it’s incredibly important for her to slowly introduce things about herself to you. She’s a huge political figure in the Commonwealth currently, and can’t afford to have any weakness for the time being.

P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)

The only way she’d get angry is if you recklessly put someone’s life in danger, but other than those extreme cases, she's an incredibly level-headed individual.

Q - Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Are you kidding? She remembers everything. From the exact words, you said down to the date you both met. What kind of leader would she be if she didn’t catch everything in passing?

R - Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Her favorite moments are those rare occasions when the two of you walk down to Bunker Hill together to discreetly pass messages to other agents, before hitting the bar.

S - Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Dez is VERY protective, but she’s sorta that way with everyone under her. Of course, she expects that same loyalty in return, but truly, if it ever were to come down to it, she’d very willingly take a bullet for you.

T - Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Not much, she hardly hands you gifts. She’ll reminisce and thank you for everything you do, but she hardly has the time to search for gifts to give you.

U - Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

She's almost always stressed and can sometimes start projecting it onto you. It usually comes in the form of her snapping, but she definitely tries her best to keep herself calm.

V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

She'll do small things to touch up here and there, but nothing big. She just thinks it's important to look somewhat presentable when you're expected to lead an entire movement. She refuses to look like a hobo.

W - Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

In short, no, Dez is a very independent person and makes a point to never be too attached to anyone.

X - Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

She's a caffeine addict and is almost always drinking any form of coffee or nuka-cola drinks she can find.

Y - Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Someone inconsiderate or irresponsible. She needs someone willing to stick by her and make rational decisions, not only for themselves but for everyone around them.

Z - Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Whenever she has time. It's very sporadic and unplanned, but she's adapted fairly well to it.

I was walking and swimming in beach with Hancock and then some vertibird was shooting something I didn't care then omg they are shooting a courser I am ally with both sides and hate them both but like coursers what to do now and then I looked and courser was only x6. My boy carries whole institute in his shoulders.

Average courser is very deadly and dangerous factoid actually a statistical error, courser x6-88 who lives in institute and complete 100.000 institute mission each day is am outliner and should not have counted.

no yeah i feel your pain. most of my aftokrator worldbuilding is based off of victorian social norms combined with the architecture of Pompeii, the internecine politics of the Borgia family, and the violence of the Second Crusade. plus also the stuff we can extrapolate from Yuma and Replica’s information. and i have decided that they have a senate which is completely insane because representatives from all houses are present and obviously factional politics are a thing, but no triggers (or other weaponry) are allowed so. there are fairly minimal casualties. i also have a lot of thoughts about the economy.....

doing worldbuilding/development for Aftokrator and the Afto away squad is a really weird feeling honestly bc usually in a fandom, I will adopt a minor character or obscure unexplored corner of the worldbuilding and feel fairly secure in saying it is My City Now. I don't expect to get further details about Lio's backstory or how the Ultimate 5 joined Claw or Zaal'Koris's relationship history with Han'Gerrel. Even in the rare case where I'm in a fandom for an ongoing series/franchise... I mean, Paramount could theoretically announce a new show set in the Gamma Quadrant tomorrow, if they wanted, but everyone's ignored the Dominion for the last 25 years and I don't expect anyone to stop now, so, you know. My City Now.

watori, though? I honestly have no doubt that we will see the Afto squad again, certainly Aftokrator itself, and there's probably tons of details we don't know yet even if it's years before we see it in the series. so there's the distinct sense that everything I'm building is going to get torn down eventually, and I don't even dread it the way I sort of selfishly don't want the Star Trek franchise to follow up on the Dominion, because I don't trust canon to be as interesting as what's in my own head. No, I really really want to see Hyrein and Aftokrator again so bad! I want to know what Houses Mira and Enedora and Viza are from! I want to know what their cities look like and what happens to the people they capture! I want to meet House Ellin and learn about the people who raised Hyuse! My fics will be like a little time capsule of this period where almost everything about Afto is deliciously unknown and all we can do is speculate... I think I'm okay with that.

i miss my old place with the secluded railraod in the backyard. it was a duplex i lived in with my abusive ex and my best friend. a lot happened when i lived there. my ex and i broke up there. i met someone who meant a lot to me and then left me. i smoked on the train tracks and i waved to the conductors and i smelled bread from the factory nearby and it was just an emotional place for me that i still feel a connection to. everytime i go back it brings me to a place filled with hate and love and depression and unexpected care. park jct, i love you.

[elbiotipo]

genuine question, isn't the panamerican railraod technically impossible due to the Darian Gap or was that made up imperialist bullshit

Well, the Darién Gap is some rather rugged marsh and jungle mountain terrain, but that does not make it technically impossible. But more importantly, there are many native peoples who live there, as well as natural preserves, and so there is much opposition to build a railroad (or the current lame highway) over there. As much as I would love a pan-american railroad, the rights of those people come first.

You can find more info here, I'm far from an expert.
