#there's actually a second story

[scales-like-ash]

Oh boy my first playthrough was a doozy :D

I watched a few videos of the game on YouTube before owning it for myself so I kinda knew what was happening in it (not completely tho)

Most importantly I knew how awesome Power Armor is

So I looked up a guide on how to get the Training early by glitching through the rubble on the side of the Citadel and then walking through the void underneath to a door that lead to the Courtyard.

So I skidaddle my ass through the void straight to Elder Lyons who goes "I'm sorry for your loss, James was a great man."

I didn't know he died and I still had the quest to find him so I was like "oookay?". Now here begins the Sequence Break I accidentally started :D

Getting myself Power Armor Training, play a bit of the BoS Quest until I escape from Raven Rock and then I decided to finally find Dad.

Found Dad, Rescued Dad and wanted to meet at Jefferson Memorial but you probably know... That shit is occupied by the Enclave now, due to the Sequence Break :D

So I march with Liberty Prime and stand side by side with my Dad while we shot the Enclave to kingdom come!

As long as I live, I will never forget the Picture of my Dad amongst the bodies of fallen Enclave and Dr. Li's Science Team Members in the shadow of Liberty Prime, while I rushed in with Sarah to Kill Colonel Autumn. I wish I knew what would've happened if I had Broken Steel but that save game was long gone when I got the DLC.

So yeah that's my best memory of Fallout 3 and I would never trade it for anything in the world!

Happy 16 years to Fallout 3! What're some of your favorite Capital Wasteland memories?

The final piece, at least for now! Somehow I did these in reverse chronological order, but I guess it worked out in the end

I love your take on Crowley!

I know that the early, non-Diasomnia stories aren't really your thing, but are you reading the novels at all?

I have been following some of the fan translations and the second book seems intense! Would love to hear what you think about them.

thank you! 💚💚💚 I'm not really sure why you think I don't like the earlier arcs though, I love pretty much all the characters and their storis! (I think 5 and 1 are my favorite of the past episodes, though 6 infected me with the Shroud brainrot something fierce.) I just...ESPECIALLY love diasomnia. :') but there is room in my heart for all of these dweebs! like, who among us is not just as ride-or-die for Adeuce as they are for us.

that said, I don't really follow the other adaptations like the manga (aside from a dip-in just to see the new Yuus) or the novels, though I keep meaning to check them out! I do like seeing the differences between the different forms of media, and how certain things get adapted one way or another! but alas, time/a lack of accessibility stands in our way more often than not. :( someday...someday I will have time to consume all of the media...

Genuinely amused when people who don't know anything about Christianity try to draw on it as a source for their fantasy -- "Oh this is my half-demon OC who takes damage from holy things and is stuck in a church, better hope that communion wine in the back doesn't spill anywhere!" You mean the regular. wine in the back? The very normal alcohol that is completely indistinguishable from any other alcohol to anyone at all until the actual communion ceremony? The Mogen David? That wine? Okay. Sure. *is imagining your OC screaming and running from a liquor store*

You do get the sense that the fallout of Roger's death and the Roger pirates disbanding not so much traumatized Buggy and Shanks indifferent ways but instead generated such drastically different reactions to the trauma.

While the trauma of everything seemed to push Shanks into the future, always constantly waiting for something, putting plans on hold and then later in place, for this great moment, this great coming that he sees on the Horizon. For Buggy it rooted him firmly in the past keeping him trapped in this grief masquerading as anger.

While Roger's death forced Shanks to grow up fast, it kind of arrested Buggy's development keeping him stuck in those same feelings, rooted int that same place.

You get the sense that Buggy's whole east blue schtick is just one long overdue rebellious phase one big fuck you to Roger and his ideals. He's rebelling against Roger's principles. One of their rules was don't steal from innocent people and Buggy was keeping a whole town in poverty. If Roger and Luffy's pirating styles are diametrically opposed to someone like Blackbeard, who might be the most literal pirate in the entire series, then buggy is the parody of that Blackbeard piratism. He is playing up cruelty, being the most piratey pirate possible, hell he's literally a clown on a stage. It's all a show! It's his own special way of trying to "get back at Roger" of trying to discard everything Roger taught him for this overacted, over exaggerated clownish cruelty. Mentally he never left that execution square. He is still 15, alone and scared.

Hell he literally never left either, while I'm pretty sure Shanks' booked it out of the east blue as fast as he could, Buggy never lef, might have never left, if not for Luffy. It's part of why Luffy bothers him so much, he's just like Roger everything that Buggy is trying hard to forget and here comes this kid, whose never even met the Captain but is wearing his hat, shoving it right back in his face.

It makes sense that he never leaves the east blue till Luffy literally forces him out of it (fucking with Luffy gets him captured and imprisoned) and it makes sense that it's Luffy that literally breaks him out of prison, literally sets him free, and on the path to greatness that maybe he was always meant to achieve (even if he trips his way into it). This boy that is tragically so much like his old captain but so beautifully unabashedly himself, is what Buggy needs to start letting go off the past, to start trying to move forward.

Maybe that's why Buggy, at what could arguably be described as his lowest moment, gets the strength to free himself from his own self imprisonment, realizing that even back then he was locking himself away and pinning his own dreams on Shanks. And, maybe for the first time ever, Buggy really own his dream. He declares to his tormentors and his crew and the entire world that; actually He wants to find the one piece, him, as captain of his own crew, this crew, not just a part of someone else's. That's his dream and he's willing to turn the world upside down to do it.

okay but retired from the Navy Bradley, who's let his curls grow long and has a bit of a tummy and isn't as defined as he was before/during/right after the mission meeting Jake again about a year later (so he's worked through a bit of his issues but not all of them but also having come to the realization he's actually been in love with Jake for more than a decade), who's now a flight instructor in North Island and smiling all soft and shy while Jake looks struck dumb, boy's walking into shit because he just can not get over how good Bradley looks now and is internally blue screening because he wants to climb Bradley like a try and falling through floors and windows as he comes to the startling realization he's been in love with Bradley for more than a decade.

Just. Soft Bradley, who's let himself go and worked on himself and lets himself come back into Jake's life to see if the spark is there on Jake's side.

And Jake constantly going through it because he's speed running coming to all these realizations about himself and Bradley and what he wants for his life and what he wants for them.

having seen at least the rough outlines of all the romances now I have to say that I think emmrich's is probably objectively the best in terms of coherence and completeness of story arc (with the understanding that ultimately the 'best' romance is whichever one makes YOUR heart sing anyway so objectivity is a silly thing to claim that way, it just felt like it's the arc with the most well-paced focused content and the least dangling threads)... but lucanis' is my favourite haha. just. the whole kneeling before your beloved full of reverence but without any of the distance that usually implies??? his complete undramatic certainty and calm in every scene with rook after this, having spent the whole game caught between fear and longing???? mr. lives in a pantry but it says nothing about my psyche don't worry about it it's purely for tactical reasons that I keep myself contained in a small dark room not entirely unlike a cell, love among the parsnips -- finally coming to rook in their room and it's so comfortable and comforting???? after all the times rook supports and comforts him through the game he's finally able to return the same to them when they need it while being so calm and steady and it's so fucking sweet and feels so effortless and with no price attached?????? he basically assigns himself the role of your bodyguard and he WILL stab a god over it??????????????? the turn to protector (which was in his heart all along longing to get out and find a place) of it all????? he sounds like he's found himself unexpectedly stumbling into such a soul-lightening state of revelatory existential relief, full on 'you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves' mary oliver style, and he goes and he shares that with rook and protectively envelops them in it when they're hurting??????????????????????????? hello for the maker's sake hello can anyone hear me?????

[superineffable]

technically the nsbu party can do another campaign by having the nsbu movie have a sequel OR if the store doesn't close down, they find another movie (possibly in another genre) that they could enter again

[itslilacokay]
