Clayton "Bud" Collyer: Faster Than Bullets; Beating Clocks
We’ve had many an occasion to mention Clayton “Bud” Collyer (Clayton Heermance, Jr, 1908-1969) and so we thought it fitting to point out his multiple significances on his natal day. I don’t usually do this in list form, but this is a case that lends itself to that cold methodology.
He was the younger brother of movie star June Collyer, the grandson of actor Dan Collyer, and the husband of…

Hug
Some things are great,Some things are bad.I know you’re glad,you seal my fate.My heart beats; my stomach moves,I look at you,I feel nervous and droolAs I feel your grooves.I run for miles to be close to you, you see.I get so anxious being away.I think about how you sway,When I first lie on you; then I dream.And what you are?It is obvious.

vaggie, miss "im not used to fighting with long hair" who's out of practice actually battling someone or really stabbing ppl...
...still had the arm and hand strength, the REFLEXES, to do a bare handed blade catch on a SWORD, who's user had been doing an aerial dive with it aimed at vaggie's FACE
then sling around and THROW her opponent with it
i know she wants a peaceful-ish life with charlie, but i really wouldn't mind seeing her getting into just a FEW more fights >:D
also also side note:
carmilla was able to eff her up earlier so easily bc vaggie fought like an exorcist, no thought to getting hurt or personal defense, the headspace of 'i can't get killed! wheee! DIE DIE DIE' that got that other exorcist killed
and the main advice vaggie got from carmilla was take advantage of that sure, but first and more importantly, defend yourself better
which kinda plays into the whole "be out for love thing" too
aka the fight isn't important, it's what you're fighting to still have Afterwards that matters- the people you love, having a life with them
(the hotel, the hazbins, charlie)
carmilla doesn't send vaggie off with a 'you're ready to go kill angels'. she's only satisfied and ends their little lesson / sparring match when she can say "you might just survive this"
feels like she wasn't teaching vaggie to take out angels. she was reminding her and showing her how NOT to get KILLED
so it's just so nice seeing vaggie blocking, dodging, and grappling lute later. how good she is at focusing on avoiding or neutralizing those attacks aimed at her. how Seriously she takes them
binding lute's both lute's arms and wedging them into her own body so lute's sword CAN'T be angled towards her
the way this shot emphasis's the THREAT of the sword hanging over vaggie
and how her flash-fast recovery and block shows she's READY for it
dodging, not attacking
she's not in this for blood or vengeance, this lady is trying to stay the fuck alive. she's got things and people to live for
things like the idea of mercy. that thing both her and charlie show their enemies, people who came down to hell for murder and spent this fight trying to kill them and got damn close to doing it.
and sure there's a pretty big tone difference between charlie's "Whoa whoa dad. He's had enough" and vaggie's "No, live. Live knowing that you only do because I let you" but both end at the same place, with someone who hates them still getting a second chance
(UNLESS ITS NIFFTY WITH THE ANGELIC BLAAADE)
and vaggie wants that second chance too. she wants a life with charlie, and fights hard so she can stick around for it
epic fail, lute... have you considered getting a hobby...?

Playing Fallout 1 and noticing Necropolis disappear from the caravans is just. So perfect.
The game brings no attention to it. No one mentions it. The caravans just don’t go there anymore. It makes you wonder what happened, you solved all their problems already, right?
So now you have a reason to go back there, cause otherwise there’s really no reason too. And when you do, everyone is gone. There’s no more ghouls, just super mutants. They invaded, and there’s nothing you can do to stop them. Once you hit that date, the city is gone.
It’s frankly a brilliant moment of subtle storytelling and even though I already knew about Necropolis’ fate it still motivated me to go back, just to make sure.
I wonder how many people discovered it this way? I can only imagine just how effective this reveal is for someone actually playing the game blind.

Curt: Listen, You can de-escalate any situation by simply saying, 'Are we about to kiss?'
Crosby: Didn't Major Cleven take your advise the other day?
Curt: ....
Bubbles: Yeah, and didn't the situation Escalate into a huge fight?
Curt: ....
DeMarco: Oh yeah! Bucky threw a chair at that guy Buck said that to, didn't he?
Curt:....
Rosie: Can you blame him? The guy tried to kiss Major Cleven after he asked him that....
Curt: ....
Curt: This trick doesn't work for Buck, I'm afraid
