thought about how fucked up it was that moreno was completely ready to kill courier 6 and (more notably) arcade if you don’t manage to convince him to fight with the ncr. and didn’t stop thinking.

[ID: three digital drawings of fallout: new vegas. the first drawing is of orion moreno sitting on a wooden chair, his expression is indiscernible. in the background, theres a small light brown bookshelf, a bed frame, and a mattress. there is smoke coming from morenos mouth. a small orange box of text next to him says “... smoking that god-awful pipe that left the wallpaper yellow and peeling.” the entire drawing is tinted in orange. the second drawing is of arcade gannon. he is drawn from around the waist up, and looks uncomfortable. he has his fist balled up and towards his chest. a purple text box to the right of him reads, “ i remember thinking he wasn’t content to just destroy himself.” the entire drawing is tinted in a purpleish pink color. the final drawing is of moreno in his enclave armor. he looks ready to fight, and is holding a gatling laser. the gatling laser is colored in only a bright red, and is already shooting out a laser. a red text box just above him reads, “ he seemed to have to take out everything with him.” the entire drawing is tinted in a dark red.]

I had some weird ideas and decided to figure out how TMA entities would work out in certain shows/games/other fictional settings. Keep in mind, I’m not very far into the podcast just yet, though I have been looking at fan stuff for a while and wanted to do something with it. So, these are just the entities as I understand them currently.

Now, with that in mind, let’s figure out how well these entities would play out in the world of Fallout.

The Buried: I think this entity would have a very easy time thriving in the various Wastelands, especially in places where the ruins still stand and the world is still falling apart. Where the old world can still kill you and crush you under its weight, both literally and not. The Vaults would also be a good breeding ground, especially if they’re the ones that never got opened up for the longest times.

The Corruption: Honestly, hard to say how well it would fare, but I think it has a niche it can exploit when it comes to the Fallout world. The world itself is dirty, with the last of the old world clinging to it and everyone having to soak in the mess, the filth that was left behind. However, it would probably end up suffering from this later on due to the people getting used to how it is, and becoming mostly used to the filth and what it offers. Ghouls would be common avatars, though, whether they’re feral or not.

The Dark: A strong contender, but probably again stuck in a very niche environment. For anyone that lives underground, this would be a normal thing, but the dark would inspire dread still for vault dwellers from time to time. And considering that monster like Deathclaws and the like are always probably hiding in corners people can’t check, or the raiders who sneak through it, it’ll be present, but not particularly strong.

The Desolation: This entity would be thriving due to the environment it found itself in, no questions asked. With the fact that it’s been destroyed plenty, and that there are still weapons of mass destruction being used, it would be fed for every moment of every day. Avatars are probably constantly carrying mini nukes in order to spread it further, even if it might end up costing the entity later.

The End: I don’t think it would matter to the End whether this world was an apocalypse or not. It seems to win in nearly all scenarios, though death is more common in this world and people are always looking to cheat it. People like Mr. House would keep them fed, and trying to stave it off is nearly impossible. Again, probably connected to Ghouls fairly easily and would cling to them as reminders that humans will rot like them one day.

The Eye: While it wouldn’t be readily apparent, it would definitely be doing well in certain people and organizations within Fallout. Institutions like the Institute, the Big MT crew, and other similar factions would help it learn new knowledge every day. Vault-Tech and its experiments are definite contender as well. And then there are people like Piper, who want to spread the truth whenever possible, and many scientists wanting to experiment no matter the cost.

The Flesh: Quite honestly, it would exist in the Super Mutant population and the various mutated creatures that exist within the various Wastelands without any trouble. The shambling corpses of Feral Ghouls, the peak forms of the Super Mutants, to the two headed brahmin, it would find a place in unsettling people through these avatars. Not to mention the cannibals that are not uncommon in some places of the wasteland, with the White Glove Society probably playing a big part.

The Hunt: Again, probably still there and present, but not too extremely strong. Plenty of people are hunting for ways to get power, and then there are still bounty hunters and killers that end up being a big part of the law system in Fallout. You’d be hard pressed to find someone that isn’t looking or hunting something and someone throughout the wastelands, but hardly on a huge scale.

The Lonely: Probably very pervasive in the groups of paranoid people that isolate themselves from each other, with the Brotherhood of Steel being a surprising source in some cases. Vaults would also suffer from this, seeing how they’re separated from the world entirely. While not a main focus, there are plenty of lonely people who would become quick victims of the entity.

The Slaughter: Oh, yes. This one is thriving at all times. The Slaughter is in every citizen of the wasteland, big or small, and it always creating death or inciting violence at every turn. It’s in the itchy trigger finger of a raider, the bloodlust of a cannibal, and the panic of a villager that just wants to survive another day. It was in the last days of the old world, where wars were fought and lost on all sides when the bombs dropped. War never changes, and The Slaughter wouldn’t need it to.

The Spiral: Pervasive, but less so than certain strong entities. Survival, especially under horrible conditions, can inspire madness of a sort that would be completely understandable in most cases. Probably plays a large role and gets a small cut for a lot of the other entities, getting some of their victims in the end because of how the others play it.

The Stranger: Hard to say how well it’d do here. While the old tricks of taking people and putting a monster in their place would work here, it would probably only have a strong presence in the setting of Fallout 4, with the Intsitute accidentally making a breeding ground for it. Other than that, maybe the Super Mutants would play a minor role, considering of how close they are to being human, while also still being abominations.

The Vast: An interesting one. I can see this being the plague of vault dwellers themselves, who have a hard time adjusting to the world that they’re getting introduced to. Though, it might also be a reason why nobody ever goes in the sea of the Fallout world, considering what could be deep within it. The radiation probably made it worse.

The Web: Quite honestly, it would within the leaders of Fallout and within the choices people make themselves. While there isn’t a distinct fear, per se, but considering how the choices even the most innocuous of people make can change the fate of these wastelands, the Web probably plays a major part in getting these effects active. It makes for a very interesting narrative, especially considering the choices can be forced to only work in one way depending on the story.

The Extinction (maybe not that applicable, but fits here): It can go one of two ways; it thrives in the wastelands without anything to stop it, or it’s struggling to survive in this broken world. While the world did end up destroying itself and many people died a death of their own making, it is also literally after the death of an old world. The people are rebuilding, even after the world should’ve died under the bombs, though there is the threat it could happen again. It’s a coin flip depending on how certain things pan out.

As for how the player character in any game fits into all of this, it really depends on the choices a player makes. High Intelligence might be avatars of The Eye, while Charisma characters could arguably serve The Web. Strength and Endurance work for Flesh, and Agility plays well with The Dark.

However, I can see only one constant; unless you end up not killing a single person somehow, your character will always have a touch of the Slaughter due to the death you bring in every place you go to.

elias bouchard aka a supernatural version of mr house. old as balls bastard keeping himself alive via unnatural means desperately trying to make his own perfect “kingdom” and is willing to damn everyone in the process, only to eventually be killed by the very person he used to instigate said damnation

having hyperfixations on two wildly different things is so weird

Do you have to finish a series?

Is it not simply enough to get most or half way through, fall in love with the world and make you're own daydream universe based in it?

Why must I complete narratives?

jon, running into mike crew post-apocalypse:

[lesvegas]

I may or may not start writing a fic that has nothing to do with my tma/fnv fic and most likely won't have any canon characters and. Uhm. Lol

[littlecicerospizza]

I think I want to get into making podfics... if anyone has any of their own fics (preferrably on ao3) they’d like recorded, hit me up 🤙

[thespiral]

I think a fun idea for a tma fnv au, or any "fnv but with magic" au is that the courier is always doing extremely obviously supernatural shit and their companions are either like "oh huh. Weird!" or in veronica and arcade's case specifically furiously noting things down.

YEAH. it's really funny if you take into account end!courier as a hc because like. they SHOULD be dead. they've seen them done shit that would kill literally everyone else but here they are. what the fuck
