Okay, so, looks like Google Docs might actually start implementing their rule about not sharing explicit content. (This includes writing.) How in the ever loving fuck am I supposed to back up 1,000+ stories that equate to 3 million+ words into fucking Microsoft Word????? And efficiently, for that matter?! HELP.

#so I will no longer be using google docs #but I do have everything backed up off of docs and currently on my laptop and might wipe my drive before they block it completely #I plan to move all of THAT to external hard drives- as many as I need/can get my hands on #and I would suggest that any writer or artist using docs to store or share do the same

Ficlet about Fawkes tucking the lone wanderer into bed 🥺? I feel like Fawkes would be a good father figure to Lone after losing their father and I would love to see some of that parent/child relationship

The old cot had never looked so inviting as it did when Lone stumbled back into the camp, their eyes heavy and their feet gently guided by the super mutant that they were honored to call their friend.

“Just a little further,” Fawkes assured. Lone only hummed in response, their eyes already growing heavy with the very thought of finally getting to lay their head down on the make-shift pillow.

“I really appreciate you, you know.”

“And I appreciate you, my friend.”

“I’m glad,” Lone said on a yawn, moaning softly as they found themselves being guided into sitting on the edge of the cot, not even bothered by the thick, hard wood poles that held it taut on the sides. “I’m glad that we met.”

“Not as grateful as I am, I’m sure,” Fawkes replied with a soft chuckle. “Now please, lay back.”

“Hmm. My boots.” “I will remove them for you.”

Lone hummed again as they did as instructed, feeling sleep already starting to wash over them in waves. It didn’t take over quite yet, especially as they felt their boots being yanked off their feet, but it was getting close.

“Hey, Fawkes?”

“Yes, my friend?”

“Can you stay in here with me? Just until I fall asleep?”

“Of course.”

“Thanks.”

“Of course, my friend.”

Lone sighed and turned onto their side, their eyes heavy but still opened as they watched their friend settle down onto the ground nearby, his broad face thoughtful as he looked towards the much smaller human near him.

“It’s hard being alone, isn’t it?” Fawkes asked. Lone, unable to find their voice, nodded. “I am glad that you know you can ask me to stay.”

“I’m glad, too,” Lone answered, their voice sounding filled with sleep even to their own ears. As the seconds ticked past, their eyes grew heavier, and eventually they closed and their mind started to drift.

“A blanket,” Fawkes said thoughtfully and mostly to himself after a moment. Lone just raised their brows and listened. There was some shuffling, then some more soft and unintelligible whispers. And finally, something laid out onto them.

A blanket, they realized as they felt the fabric being tucked around them. That’s what he meant by that.

And once more, Lone felt their mind start to drift as sleep began to take over. Yet before they could dream, they heard Fawkes say just one last thing.

“Good night, my friend. And may your dreams be filled with the smiling faces of your friends, as I know mine are filled with yours.”

An Update

Hi everyone! I just wanted to pop in an apologize for seeming to disappear off the face of the planet for a while. There is a more detailed explanation under the cut (with a TW for pet death) but the short of it is I had to put my beloved cat down, turned thirty and had an anxiety attack so bad that I was nearly hospitalised for not being able to get my heart rate back down and we all thought it was a heart attack (me included, I am not in the best of shape).

I do apologize again, and especially to the people who have been waiting for two years or more for their requests to be fulfilled. I haven't forgotten you! I just haven't been able to bring myself around to doing them.

For the time being, I am going to keep messenger and ask both off, and possibly even replies so I can ease myself back into posting without feeling overwhelmed. Likes and reblogs are welcomed, however! I know it seems strange or even picky, but I really do think this is for the best for me right now.

I love you all, and if you choose to peek under the read more then be warned it's a lot and it's just an expansion on what I have already mentioned above!

As I said above, I went through a lot in just a month and I try not to talk about my personal life too much on here for many reasons, but the main one is that my followers are here for Fallout content, not my personal life updates.

But to make a longer story a little shorter, in the beggining of August my beloved cat Punky Meuster, whom I had had for nearly two years at that point, became very sick. When we took her to the vet they ran some tests and she tested positive for feline leukaemia (which is a very misleading name as it's closer to HIV from what I was told) and at that point it was much more humane to put her down rather than trying to treat it and so we did.

A little less than three weeks later, I turned thirty. And now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with turning thirty! I know this in my heart, but in my mind it was the absolute worst thing imaginable because of several factors from my childhood that I do not have the resources to work through. I won't go into details here as this post is already rather heavy, but if you are anxious about turning thirty, please don't be! And if you have a list of things that you want to do before then, fuck that list! We have our entire lives before us as we speak.

Anyways, about three days after my 30th birthday, I felt my heart rate starting to rise and my mind starting to race and my stomach starting to hurt (this was actually from a food intolerance I am well aware I have but choose to ignore because food is delicious and the intolerance is non-life threatening, just makes me sick) but since I am uninsured I kept ignoring it. And ignoring it. And ignoring it. Eventually it got so bad that I checked my blood pressure three times then drove myself to the hospital because it was so high and was taken back to a room right away and monitored for a while (they didn't do anything for the blood pressure btw, expect charge me 2000 dollars for babysitting me while on an EKG or ECG or whatever).

I did see a doctor shortly after, was told to monitor my blood pressure and cut back on coffee, and eventually I adopted a new cat, this time from a shelter rather than a friend and had him vaccinated as soon as I could and wouldn't you know it? My blood pressure is right back to normal and my anxiety, while still present, is much more manageable.

Again, I really want to apologize for disappearing for that long, and I also want to apologize in advance because it will happen again, but hopefully not for as long. Thank you so much to everyone that has been so patient with me and welcome to anyone who is new here! I hope you will enjoy.

Love, Nuka

#nuka rambles #likely tbd #at least once I get a steady stream of posts going again #honestly I am not sure if I wanna turn off replies or not just yet #but everything else really is staying off for right now #also I am playing a heavily modded version of FO4 atm so I would def expect to see a lot of that content #once I get around to sitting down and writing it instead of just thinking of it all to myself

I am currently playing with The Wild Wasteland and Another Life - Alternative Start Mod on PC and this little girl appeared with two Yao guai chasing her when I spawned in at Jamaica Plains

She is fully voiced and can be talked at but not talked to (no dialogue tree)

She's wearing footie pajamas and I didn't see her spawn in and she doesn't seem to have a path set for her to follow

Does anyone else have one or both of these mods and ever encounter something like this before?

Edit to add this pic

and mention that yes, I am using console commands to kill enemies because I spawned into the middle of Jamaica Plains at level 1, not to try anything against the kid!

[nuka-after-dark]

Hi Nuka,

I know I told you to cancel one of the requests I made recently but that was mostly because I thoughts the points I’ve made were rushed and it kind of felt over-dramatic. I’ve just re-worked on the points today and I think they’re much better than the ones I made previously and I think they’re pretty good, so here it goes:

- This started when he remembered some snide comment she made about him the first time he came. At first, it wasn’t too bad but as the days went by, it just kept getting worse.

- He didn’t mind too much at first but later on, this led him to assume that she’s just lying to him, prentending to love him so he can do her own doing and deep down hate him. He also thought that she was going to backstab him at some point.

- Although he still loves her to a certain extent, he started developping a grudge againt her, ranging from hate to jealousy. He also started getting jealous of all the praise she seems to get among the disciples, making him feel completely rejected from the gang.

- It’s after 6 weeks that he finally snapped and that he decided to confront Dixie about it. When confronting, he accused her of being a liar and faking the love she has for him and actually hating him. He also told her that he was done working for her gangs as well as the other and that he’s leaving Nuka-World for one and for good, angrily and hoping the place would burn.

- Before leaving Nuka-World, he told her that he would have killed her but the only he didn’t he’s because he can’t bear killing her. Although he’s as every bit as psychotic and cold-blooded as Dixie, he still had a few people he genuinely cared about in his life, including her and his deceased spouse.

- He’s now spending his days at Dugout Inn, drinking to forget whatever happened out there and the past relationship. After all, he had a lot of fun with her, she was his soulsister to him and he just felt betrayed after making the conclusion that she actually hated him. As hard as he tries to forget about her, she still pops up in his mind.

I’d like to change the title for M!Overboss and Dixie’s relationship dilemma.

How would she react after hearing everything M!Overboss said to her before leaving the place "for good"? What would she do after that? And what would she do should she find him?

Dixie would be pretty taken aback by all of it. She had noticed there were some kind of feelings between them, but she never would have thought that it was love. To hear him say that gave her a little hope, but hearing that he would kill her just as easily as let her live was enough to shatter whatever fragile dream she had of a life together with him.

For the first while, she tries to forget him. Unable to do that, she tries to make herself angry with him. He had said some rather cruel things before leaving, after all. But she finds, oddly, that her anger is constantly redirecting back towards herself. It’s not until this anger becomes a distraction and one of her prized would-be kills nearly got away that she decided she needed to do something.

She wouldn’t bother Nisha with her problem. Not only would Nisha not be any help, she would likely tell her to drop it altogether, and Dixie would. But she didn’t want to. She wanted to track down the Overboss and confront him.

She found him eventually, drinking his life away in Diamond City among the others who only pretended to keep their eyes on their own glasses and bottles as she strolled in ready to finally find a way to redirect her anger where she felt it needed to be. But everything she wanted to say was lost as she saw the look in his eyes. He was broken more than she could ever do to him herself.

In the end, she talks him into coming back with her. She isn’t even sure how she did it herself, but by the end of the night they are making their way back to Nuka-World where he steps back into his role as leader, but now with Dixie firmly at his side.

Dixie won’t lie to herself, though. There is a fissure in their relationship now and nothing is going to heal it, nor will anything ever fully convince him that the feelings she holds for him are far from hatred. Words that were spoken and threats were uttered will always echo back, but at least now they know not to add fuel to the fires and to keep their harmful words and snide remarks to themselves.

*Clears throat*

How would the Fallout 4 companions, including dlc, Nuka-World bosses, Scribe Haylen, and Debby from the Last Plank react to/comfort a Sole Survivor who gets sad from broken family scenarios?

Broken family as in: The Miller family radio signal, Boston Mayoral shelter, Cranberry island and what happened there, and so on…

Cait

Cait’s reaction varies, based on what happened. If there is evidence of parents doing the best they can for their children, she will likely get very angry. Not at the loss of life, or at the way the family died or broke, but at how she never had a chance to know even a fraction of that kind of love from her parents and yet she was forced to suffer through it until they sold her. But this moment isn’t meant to be about her. This moment is about Sole, and how they can and have offered her that kind of love, and now it’s her chance to return it in the form of soft words and whatever else they need.

Codsworth

All Codsworth can do is be nearby, ready with a sympathetic audio input unit, snacks and jokes- both slightly dirty and family friendly. He understands how Sole must feel seeing or hearing about the families that were torn apart by war, and while he might not be able to hold them he really hopes that his presence will still be enough.

Curie (Post-Emergent Behavior)

Curie understands tragedy more than people think she does. She spent two centuries of her “life” in a room filled with the same people every day, and she watched as they passed one-by-one until she was the only one left. She kept her processors sharp, however, by making up little stories about them and how their lives would have gone if things had been different. This is a trick she will attempt to use with Sole, in hopes of bringing a smile to their face eventually.

Danse (Pre And Post-Blind Betrayal)

Danse is likely to miss the part where Sole is in obvious need of comfort at first, but not because he wants to be mean. He is simply caught up in his own feelings about the wars and tragedies that tore so many families apart that he fails to notice, at first, that it’s affecting Sole in a different way. Once he notices, he will feel rather ashamed to have allowed his anger to stop him from helping his friend first.

Deacon

Deacon would sit quietly with Sole as they let the feelings roll until they feel ready to talk, and he won’t be giving them any choice but to talk about it. It’s obvious that it’s something more than just an upsetting scenario that has them in tears, and whether it’s for his own curiosity or to make sure he can help them later is up for debate, but either way he is respectful but persistent in getting them to talk.

Dogmeat

Dogmeat does what Dogmeat does best: he offers comfort. Comfort might come in the form of cuddles and kisses, or it might be Sole finding his favorite teddy bear dropped into their lap mid-sob. There really isn’t much else that he can do for them, so whatever he can do you can bet he is giving his all.

Hancock

Hancock would be just as upset about it all as Sole is, but he hides it better, too. After all, there’s no need for both of them being upset. He will offer them comfort and take some for himself without letting on that that is exactly what he is doing. If he somehow got caught out, or if Sole felt the need to apologize for showing emotion he might let on that he completely understands their pain. Until that moment, however, he will just be there for them as they work through their emotions in a safe space.

MacCready

MacCready is angry, but not for the same reason as Cait. His anger comes from knowing that he is technically part of a broken family. A couple of them perhaps, given what little he remembers of his life before Little Lamplight. He is angry because seeing Sole break down and become nearly inconsolable was all the proof he needed that his story was indeed a tragic one. Basically, he finds himself stuck on the anger part of grieving, but in helping Sole understand that not all the stories had to have an unhappy ending, he might be able to work through the rest of the steps as well.

Nick Valentine

Nick would do his best to casually recount some of his old cases that actually had happy endings. Not all of them will be relevant to what Sole is upset about, but a good few of them, such as stopping an attempted abduction and being asked to be a godfather of at least one child, will hopefully bring a smile and a bit of hope back to Sole.

Piper Wright

All Piper can do is offer Sole some words of comfort and a shoulder to lean on. If the two are in a relationship already, she might be a bit more intimate in her comfort, but if they aren’t then she will only go as far as they are comfortable going with her.

Preston Garvey

Preston feels the hurt as well, but he can push it all aside when it comes to caring for Sole. He can offer them a shoulder to cry on, an ear to talk into, and advice on how to push it all aside when the time comes to move on.

Strong

Strong doesn’t understand why Sole is upset until it’s put into the context of his brothers: Even if he didn’t know them personally, he almost certainly feels some kind of hurt when he sees them dead but then he remembers that it was their own fault for dying. They should have been stronger, they should have been smarter, they should have had a better leader. Strong stops himself just short of bringing this all up to an already distraught Sole, and just lets them grieve for people they had never even met.

X6-88

X6-88 isn’t sure how to comfort Sole, but he will do his best to learn based on how they choose to comfort others. If they are into physical touch such as hugs or, preferably, hand tap, he will offer them the same. If they’re comfort language seems to be words of sympathy, then that is what he will give them. In the chance that he isn't sure how they prefer to comfort others, he will calmly tell them that what they feel is a good thing as it shows that they still have their humanity.

Ada

Ada has seen first hand how affected Sole can be by that kind of situation, and she is glad that her sympathy and empathy components are still working. She is not made of flesh and blood, but metal and plastic, yet she will do her best to offer physical comfort as well 

Old Longfellow

Old Longfellow offers his comfort in the form of a respectful silence and a shared bottle. If Sole wants to talk about what all is upsetting them, he will listen. But if they want to wait and see how long it takes them to reach the bottom of the bottle together, he is fine with that, too.

Porter Gage

Gage doesn’t get it. It was centuries ago in some cases, and here the Overboss is bawling their eyes out over it. He is not saying that the Overboss shouldn’t feel any kind of compassion for anyone- that’s just one of the many things about Nisha that scares the Hell out of him- but he thinks that perhaps they should hold off on showing so much emotion until it can be just the two of them.

Mags

Mags is almost disgusted by it. Or so she tells herself. One must take into consideration the life that she had lived before forming the Operators and how that may have shaped her opinion on how important such families are. She has William and Lizzie, her brother and her best friend, what more does she need in that aspect? Why is it so hard for her to get the Overboss’ tears over the stories of families long gone out of her mind? Perhaps talking about it for just a little while wouldn’t hurt after all?

Mason

Mason gets it. He really does. But he also knows that such things should be dealt with privately. Tears are a sign of weakness, and being weak makes you prey. But at the same time, you shouldn’t hold it all in. The more you hold it back, the more likely it is to burst later, and usually at the most inopportune time. He would tell them to leave, get themselves together, then come back to the pack to talk to him later, unless perhaps they wanted to go somewhere more alone with him for a while?

Nisha

Nisha would find the tears and sorrows useless and even pathetic, but she would also understand where the Overboss is coming from. Families get broken and lives are lost, but the survivors must do what they have to do to move on and continue living or risk joining the others. She won’t say this in such harsh words to the Overboss, especially if they already seem particularly upset, but she will hint that she used to feel that way herself and that once she was able to turn that part of herself off she did a lot better.

Scribe Haylen

Scribe Haylen would pull Sole aside, no matter if they were taking a break on the field or hanging out elsewhere, to make sure they have a moment to get it all out at once. Haylen will admit that the stories still get to her even after that time of hearing them, but she takes personal comfort in knowing that even if they aren’t already together yet, they will be soon in one way or another. She hopes that Sole can see it that way as well, and that it will bring her some comfort in the end.

Debby (Far Harbor)

Debby is sobbing right beside Sole, offering comfort in whatever way she can so long as she gets some back. Even after the initial break-downs, her hugs seem to linger just a little longer, and her smiles are a little more knowing. It seems that whatever she and Sole had faced while talking about the broken families they know of had helped her a lot, and she had hopes that they had helped Sole, too.

#tbd #nuka rambles #nuka replies

[nuka-after-dark]

Can you do a Nuka World raiders being told they’re loved hc (with a quote of what they would say)?

Nisha

“That word is completely fictional.” Nisha appreciates the sentiment, but she doesn’t believe in love, platonically or romantically. She believe in devotion and obedience, however, so if the Overboss were to express one of those two, she would be much more appreciative.

Dixie

“Y’ know, actions are a lot louder than words Overboss.” Like Nisha, Dixie appreciates that the Overboss took the time to say it, but she wishes they would have shown it instead. Especially in the form of new territories where she might continue to lure unsuspecting settlers to sharpen her skills, so to speak.

Savoy

“Why?” Savoy doesn’t feel as if he has really earned the right to be told that. Nor does he know how to react to being told that. He just keeps himself stone-faced and quiet until the Overboss leaves, and he can work out exactly what they meant by it.

Mags

“I— Thank you?” Mags is honestly a bit startled by it. She hadn’t thought that she was really close enough to the Overboss for them to say such a thing to her, but she appreciates it. A lot. And the more she thinks on it, the more she wonders if perhaps she should find a way to say it back.

William

“....” William has nothing to say. He might give a small smile that he hides behind his beard, glass or hand, but he won’t say anything. Honestly, so long as the Overboss had been taking care of the Operators, he has been finding it a little harder to deny that he was certainly starting to feel something towards the Overbss himself.

Lizzie

“And what brought all this on?” Lizzie is amused by it, and while she would never really admit it outloud, she is a full romantic at heart. Unfortunately her first true love is science, and all other affections must come second to her research. Give it time, however, and she might find a way to return the sentiment.

Mason

“Heh. Of course you do.” Mason would never admit it, but he’s flattered and even a little flustered. He will certainly be replaying that moment over and over in his head, perhaps with a new or different detail than before until it eventually becomes a confession of true love.

[nuka-after-dark]

hallo, can I maybe request FNV companions (+Vulpes & Victor if that’s okay!) and how they’d react to a courier whose primary language is Spanish and doesn’t know much English? I rly like how you depict them!

Rose of Sharon Cassidy

Cass knows a bit of Spanish herself, but not enough to really carry on a full conversation unless its haggling price or asking where the nearest safe place to rest is. Communication between Cass and the Courier will be mostly the two passing a bottle back and forth, pointing and laughing at things that are funny even without a language, and just sitting around enjoying each other's company as they both try to find more verbal ways to speak.

Raul Alfonso Tejada

Of course Raul is DELIGHTED to have someone he can speak in his own native tongue to. It’s like having a secret language between them, one that a lot of other people still understand or can at least learn if they try hard enough. Still, it’s nice to know that he doesn’t have to keep struggling to remember an English word for something that he already knows in Spanish just to make sure that his friend knows what he means.

Lily Bowen

Lily doesn’t understand much Spanish, but she is very patient when it comes to the Courier speaking in what little English they know, and when they have to use gestures to get their point across. She really does delight in the little conversations they have together, and whether she actually realizes it or not, she actually is starting to recognize a lot of words for items and places which makes communicating with her a lot easier over time.

Craig Boone

Boone knows a good bit of Spanish, both conversational and professional. It was part of his job to know several different languages, or to at least understand key words in them, but Spanish seems to be the one that really stuck with him. With that in mind, he gives the Courier two options: He can help them learn more English so they can communicate easier with people who don’t know Spanish or who refuse to learn, or the Courier can continue to use Spanish as their main language and Boone will do his best to continue to learn what he needs to know to communicate fluently.

Veronica Santangelo

Veronica used to know Spanish. She wasn’t fluent in it by any means, but she could count to fifty, name the colors of the rainbow, and introduce herself before asking for the library or restroom (she was never really sure which). Unfortunately, the years of isolation in a place that dominantly spoke English means she ended up losing it because she wasn’t using it. With a bit of work, however, she is sure that she will one day reach the level where she can have a full conversation with the Courier in their native tongue.

Arcade Gannon

Is it strange that Arcade understands Latin better than he does Spanish? Of course he can understand most of what the Courier is saying, especially when they use what English they do know to help explain what they are trying to say, but for the most part conversations with Arcade will be slow going at first, but as he learns he will get better and soon have full fluent conversations with the Courier in whichever language they want to use.

Vulpes

Let’s be honest here, Vulpes knows how to insult you in at least three known languages, and two that honestly sound rather made up. And it doesn’t just stop there. He is capable of full communication in any of the languages he speaks, and Spanish just happens to be one of them so he has no need for the Courier to speak English, but he is impressed with what they might know already and would certainly encourage them to keep working at it if that is what they want.

Victor

Victor comes equipped with several languages installed, and the networking capability to install more if needed. Luckily, it’s not needed! He can swap fluently between English and Spanish, and will even gladly act as a translator for his friend the Courier if someone can only speak English themselves.

If it’s possible could you do some long Headcanon on Zeke from the atom cats?

I literally love him so much but there is like nothing on him anywhere. Personally I was really disappointed about there being basically no side missions or deep lore points with the Atom Cats in general, they are a really interesting group & it would have been so cool to have a huge backstory on them.

Zeke was born and raised in Diamond City, but he ended up leaving almost as soon as he could. It was less that he didn’t love his parents- he really did in a way- and more that he didn’t like the life they were living and expected him to live.

Because of how young and inexperienced he was with the world at first, Zeke joined up with a caravan for a while. There he befriended a man he called Uncle Jo that taught Zeke almost everything he now knows about weapons, armor and modification, and while Uncle Jo was sorry to see Zeke go, he wished him the best and dropped a hint or two about a nice little garage that just needed a little clean-up.

Zeke followed this hint, found the garage, wiped out the ferals that had taken over, and began to set up shop. It was hard going at first, even he could admit that, but he obviously did rather well for himself as his time among the caravan had not only helped to spread his name, but had also taught him a thing or two about bargaining.

It wasn’t long until word of the “cool cat” in the garage began to spread, and people started coming around to check it out. While most merely brushed it off as a small gang that would dissolve within a week, a few people actually saw this as an opportunity to join a community that shared interests and even saw it growing into something bigger. Zeke, of course, was more than happy to welcome them all with opened arms

your writing is brilliant! is there anyway you could write anything romantic for charon, quinn and gob they deserve more love! (of course if this isn’t descriptive enough i understand or if you don’t want too that’s fine)

thank you!

Quinn

Quinn is a huge fan of slow dancing with his partner. He is usually the tallest one around which allows him to hold his partner against his chest as they sway back and forth in one place and lets him place little kisses on the top of their head. More than likely it’s during this moment that Quinn first tells them he loves them, and he means it with all his heart. He wouldn’t expect them to say it back at first, especially since he knows full well that he tends to move fast in relationships, but he just wants to make absolutely sure that they know how he feels about them.

Charon

While Charon really doesn’t need to sleep he knows that his partner more than likely will. When the time comes for his partner to bunker down for the night Charon will take every opportunity given to him to lay with them, usually waiting until they are half-asleep to pull them up onto his chest where they can get comfortable and fall fully asleep. He can lay for hours just watching them sleep and wonder if perhaps this feeling of love and security he has while holding them is the universe's way of apologizing for every horrible thing that had led up to this moment to start with.

Gob

Gob loves to give gifts. They might be little trinkets he scrimps and saves to buy from Moira or a passing caravan, or even something he made with his own two hands in his downtime. He loves to give them because he loves to watch his partners eyes light up, and admires how gently they handle whatever he hands them. But more than that, he loves to hear the love in their voice as they thank him for thinking of them. If he were to receive the same gifts, however, he would treasure them to the point of paranoia that someone will come and take them from him, so it’s certainly best to gift this wonderful man something he can carry on himself at all times.

Hi!

Idk if you've done something like this before, but what about the companions react to courier trying to help Cass end or stifle her drinking problem and how they would help?

While the following is considered 100% Safe For Work, there are mentions of addiction, alcohol addiction and alcohol use that may be triggering to some. Please proceed with caution!

Rose of Sharon Cassidy

Cass herself would appreciate the Courier's concern, but there will be a steady push-back at first. She is not denying that she has an addiction, she simply thinks that she is beyond help and that it would be a wasted effort to try. If the Courier continues to push the matter, Cass will eventually allow it, but this method doesn’t work for everyone, as many people will deny they have a problem or simply refuse help until it’s too late. When it comes to accepting the help and treatment (be it therapy, cold-turkey, or whatever other method is tried) Cass really will give it her all and while there will be several severe ups nad downs on the way, she will do her best ot remind herself that it’s only because people- or at the very least the Courier- really do care about and love her.

Raul Alfonso Tejada

Raul would respect what the Courier wants to do, and even find it refreshing that there are still people in the world that can care so selflessly. He’d been around long enough to know how people usually don’t care, or if they do they only care for what the other person can do for them or for a sense of control over others. When it comes to Raul helping the Courier help Cass, he really isn’t sure what he can do aside from perhaps recalling some methods he had seen used before. Sometimes they succeeded. Other times, it seemed like it was going to work but it ended up making things a lot worse, so Raul might stand by and give advice on what to do, but he will always make sure to note that he is by no means a professional.

Lily Bowen

Lily would absolutely love to help. Even if not for being a Nightkin, she had been born and raised in a vault and had seen first hand how destructive addictions can be and not just to the person experiencing them, but to those around them and especially those that love them. When it comes to helping, Lily would suggest (although it’s obviously more of a command) that they take Cass to see Doctor Henry and Calamity. After all, Doctor Henry has been helping the Nighkin battle their addictions to the Stealthboys for years. In her mind, this means that Doctor Henry would be the best bet to help Cass overcome her problem.

Craig Boone

Boone is proud of the Courier for wanting to try and help their friend rather than leaving her behind. He knows how important bonds and friendships are, but he also knows how tentative they can be and easily they can shatter over a single disagreement, so he is tempted to warn the Courier not to push too hard when it comes to helping Cass. When it comes to Boone helping, however, he is willing to push however hard he needs to to help Cass if only for the Courier’s sake. He will set her up a routine, he will find her people that can help, and he will have no problems holding her accountable in whatever way he needs to until she finally learns how to help herself, or to ask for help in the end.

Veronica Santangelo

Veronica would rather stay out of all of it. It’s not that she doesn’t like Cass- if anything, she almost adores her- but this isn’t a problem that can be solved with punching, and those are usually the kinds of problems that Veronica would rather have to deal with. This is something that runs deeper and can have a greater effect than a broken bone or bruised skin might. When it comes to helping, Veronica will do the minimum asked of her, although she will always be there for both Cass and the Courier, cheering them both on as they work hard to help.

Arcade Gannon

Arcade isn’t as enthusiastic about helping as one might have expected. Working with the Followers of the Apocalypse, especially in Freeside, does mean that he knows a thing or two about addiction- which is exactly what is wrong with Cass- but it doesn’t really mean that he has much first hand experience working with it outside of textbooks. When it comes to actually helping Cass battle her addiction to alcohol, Arcade will do his professional best, and try to keep his personal feelings out of it. While he is working with her, Cass is nothing but another patient being treated by a doctor. But when he is not working with her, she is a close acquaintance and friend of his closest friend so he will continue to treat her respectfully as he would with anyone that he doesn’t have the medical background of.

I saw and temporarily reblogged a post earlier (I will not link it, it doesn't need attention) about how disrespectful it is to writers when people send the same requests to multiple blogs, so I just want to say that once I reopen my inbox:

If you would like to send a request to me and several other writers I do not mind at all! However, I would ask that if you see a prompt that another writer created that you would like me to use as well, ask them first!

I do not feel disrespected by being part of several people who were asked the same thing.

I love to see my prompts being used by others, especially when I am tagged in the finished work.

And if you are someone who agrees that people should not be sending the same requests to multiple writers, then that is fine as well but there is no need to shame those of us who do not mind!

On that same note, if someone asks that you do not send them the same request as several other people, please respect that as well! Check their rules, and if there is nothing said about it there, just ask! Some people don't mind, and some people would rather be the only one asked, but all people deserve respect!

Hope to reopen the inbox soon!

Love, Nuka

#nuka rambles #post is likely tbd #I was hesitant to post this but I feel it needs to be said: not all writers believe the same as OP #and I will not be linking the original post because it doesn't have that many notes and I don't feel it needs to be promoted #oh and I have updated my rules to say that I do not mind but obviously that will only apply when I finally get my inbox manageable again
