For 2025 I need other fallout fans to promise they're gonna actually start sharing and reblogging more content with non-white OCs and characters. I'm serious

I had a dream me and my friend turned into a rat and got bowls of noodles. The old lady who owned the restaurant didn't shoo us away like the other customers.

We had chopsticks to use and we were paying >:(

Imagine a reaction fic but it's only with the Splinters all in one room and they all have to watch what they and their sons go through.

Or maybe just a Splinter hangout.

MM! Splints is just gaping at the others.

I just want to see the old guys gush and lovingly complain about their kids to the others, okay?

Also some angst but you already knew that.

so this is the design for Springtrap and Lizzie in my AU. Trying to make them bond because why not. Explanation for the designs, down below

the idea of the design for Springtrap, it was stitched with other fabrics because while settling in with Vincent down in the alleyway he was living in, Vincent didn’t have that much material to make “fix” Springtrap, why does he want to repair him? To make him a bit more “good looking” to his eyes. Obviously he likes however William looked, he also did it due to the fact William wants to be less hole-y.

So he tried to search in some other places, found a few of the materials he needed lying around and brought them back to the alley. Grabbing the needle he had found, also the thread in both of his hands and patches up Springtrap’s missing parts with the materials required.

for Elizabeth’s animatronic design, well, her pigtails were based on Circus baby and she can change her outfit (don’t worry, she’s not really naked under the outfit if she removed it). Her design was heavily inspired by ball jointed dolls as you can see. Extra info: Her design was built later on, after basically retrieving Elizabeth’s remnant and keeping it safe. Vincent didn’t partake in the making of the design though, Springtrap had confessed his wrong doings to Vincent. He was distancing himself away from Springtrap until he was ready to accept that it’s the truth that Springtrap been keeping away from him.

uhh yeah. kinda lore dump-ish. (AU STILL NOT FINISHED).

little idea of doomed Yuri/wlw between my sally face oc and Ash because I don't know why I'm obsessed with broken love between girls and it's gut wrenching how they have to stop feeling the way they do for eachother in my scenarios and plans for the comic 😭😭💔

(Little note, I might make like an outline of the comic and whole story line just to know where to go, how not to be ooc because that would genuinely vaporize me, what plot and ofc all the juicy stuff so I'll link the wattpad whenever I make the chapters and outline 👍)

ulysses would honestly be the perfect candidate for anything enemies to lovers regarding the Courier if people weren't so focused on pretending the random one off Legion members are better written than they actually are

Okay so I've gotten a couple of comments here and there whenever I complain about the anti-native american sentiment (aka racism) that's baked into Honest Hearts asking "how is it racist??", which I know it's not my job as a native american fallout fan to teach ignorant white people how something is harmful but I'm gonna spell it out anyways because it's annoying when people constantly act blind to it

First of all, the dlc is very heavy handed with the "uncivilized savage" depiction of native americans. The fact that they had to be TAUGHT how to use guns and use their own natural resources to make medicine are already two examples of this right out of the gate

Plus, the fact all the tribe members wear rudimentary hides, hardly speak english, and sleep on the ground without any buildings (where Joshua and Daniel get to wear normal clothes and Joshua has his own work station) are more examples of this troupe (and its especially stupid since iirc a lot of southwestern tribes were known for making buildings that still exist to this day)

This also ties into the white savior troupe, since as said, the Dead Horses and the Sorrows both had to be taught to take care of themselves and have to be protected by another tribe by two white men (Joshua and Daniel), and that they practically worship them for it because they apparently would've died off if these two white guys didn't intervene

This, plus the fact they're both missionaries who are trying to convert the tribes into a Mormonism is downright offensive as Christianity as a whole has been used as a tool to justify committing genocide against us for centuries. Do I even need to explain this?

And speaking of them needing protection, the White Legs themselves are a whole shitty can of worms, falling right into the (what should be) long-dead idea that if we're not stupid mud people, that natives are bloodthirsty, cannibalistic, warring savages (which. Again. Another tool of propaganda used to literally kill us for as long as white people have been here). Which in turn loops back around to the whole white savior thing with the problem of the White Legs only being solved because Joshua uses his mighty hand of God to take them out or whatever. No matter if you try to end the dlc peacefully you STILL have to do that! It's fucked up!

This post is already lengthy and there's a lot of things I haven't covered (such as the native characters in the dlc generally falling into the "noble indian" troupe), but these are the most glaring issues I can come up with from the top of my head

Tl;dr - quit heralding Honest Hearts as the pinnacle of good writing when it's all built off racism. Listen to us native fans for once, please

talking about how much I like Mr. House as an interesting and funny character when an actual capitalist bootlicker tries to join in the conversation

Cleave wants to know if he can make Steb make other expressions (It takes him a while but he eventually gets there)

FUCKED UP MY SLEEP AGAIN </3 So I'm gonna info dump about Cleave's name and why I chose it + Steb and Cleave ship name

↓ Info dump under cut ↓

SO FUNFACT ABOUT CLEAVE'S NAME!!!

Initially, I was gonna call him Pitch but the name didn't stick to me as much until I explored some more words that could potentially be used to reflect him as a character while also fitting into the world of Arcane. Especially since I want his name to give off a vibe that he's from Zaun too and I want it to feel memorable.

I randomly thought of the word "cleave" and went to look for its meaning. Turns out!!! Cleave is a Janus word where the word has meanings opposing itself!

CLEAVE to divide by or as if by a cutting blow or to adhere firmly.

So I was like wow!!! That's fun!!! And I had a base idea for Cleave being something along that! Being one of the other depending on the context and how he's used.

For most his life he's been used as the more common meaning which is to split something apart and he never saw himself as more than that. Only when Steb is introduced into his life will he come to realize he's more capable than what he thought of himself :) Something about "These talons has only ever known how to hurt. Not heal."

SO THE SHIP NAME... Why Sleave??? 🤨🤨🤨

Combining Steb and Cleave would make Sleave (hah... sound like Steve...) which I'm TOTALLY SANE ABOUT (I Initially called them FishBone because Vultures specifically bearded vultures eats Bones LMAO)

BUT ANYWAY, I went searching to see if Sleave was an actual word cause like... English isn't my first language and I dont wanna accidentally use words I shouldn't. Imagine my surprise when Sleave IS an actual word and the meaning was... more fitting than I expected for the pairing!

Cleave is like a mess of threads... Then there's Steb who is most likely a field medic who would be good with sewing/mending wounds.. DO YOU SEE MY VISION!!!!!!
