i am going 2 be completely honest. the idea of yes man always and 4ever betraying the courier in the independent ending feels like blatant mischaracterization 2 me.
i can see it happening should the courier continuously do shit that he doesnt like. like blowing up the securitron army, allying the brotherhood with the ncr, etc. these are actions that will absolutely sour yes man 2 the player and under these circumstances, then yes, i can see him ousting the courier the first chance he gets.
but at the same time the game shows the player time and time again through his route that he very much genuinely enjoys your presence. he signs his printout with “Love, Yes Man.” he often greets you warmly, saying things like “I am so happy to see you!” and “Yay! It’s you!”
he even basically refers 2 himself as the courier’s best friend when going over the mark two update demonstration by saying “I mean, some of your best friends are Securitrons, right?” over and over again does the game show the player that yes man does genuinely care about them and regard them in a positive light. this isnt even mentioning the fact that the devs 4 the game straight up confirmed that when yes man mentioned his assertive update, he did not mean that he would betray the courier, but instead would only answer 2 them.
now, of course, not every courier is the same. not every independence playthrough is going 2 be one in the same, and thats the point. the ending is tailored 2 specifically what you want 2 do with the mojave’s inhabitants. you can blow up the brotherhood or leave them alone. you can make the boomers your friends or ally them with the enemy. this is the route where you get 2 choose what you want 2 do. and of course, that means allowing you 2 choose options that yes man finds unfavorable or detrimental 2wards not just your goals, but his wellbeing as well. and under those circumstances, it would absolutely make sense 4 him 2 take the reigns from the courier. after all, why would he want 2 work with someone who actively puts him and his goals in harm’s way?
but 2 say that yes man would always betray the courier ignores everything that the game otherwise sets up 4 your dynamic with him. it ignores every piece of dialogue where he regards you in a genuinely positive light, everything he does that shows the player that he really does value them. so why would he do that? why would he do that 2 someone he evidently likes spending time with, 2 someone he enjoys working alongside? what would he even have 2 gain out of doing something like that?
it just doesnt make sense 4 him 2 do something like that 2 someone he genuinely, truly cares about.

i’m sorry but am i going crazy or is that michael on david’s apple watch??
Hi there! This is so funny, because you are actually not the first person who has mentioned wondering if that was Michael on David's Apple watch, as this came up previously during the Proud Nerd Con earlier this month.
I appreciate the zoomed in picture, as I also tried to take a look on both occasions and see what the picture was, but I found that it was too blurry/distorted to make out any details. I do love the thought of a picture of Michael being on David's watch, though I think matching bracelets are just as (if not more so) adorable a notion. Both the watch and the bracelets speak to the idea of David and Michael wanting to keep each other close in some tangible way when they're physically apart, which is precious beyond words to think about (yet seems so plausible).
What I can tell you is that someone who was at one of the meet and greets at Proud Nerd Con actually confirmed that the photos on the Apple watch are all of David's kids, and that it's set up to swap/cycle through the photos. So it may not be Michael on David's watch, but I also wouldn't say you're going crazy, either, since at least a few other folks had the same exact thought.
(Also, someone actually gave David a pair of Michael slippers at Proud Nerd Con, so if anything, he can at least keep Michael close to his...feet. Haha.)
I hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks for writing in! x

Lovely-eyed, Death-touched
Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
Circe, my beloved. Her birthday is fast approaching so here's some more recent art of her! This is what she looks like at the start of the book! No tattoos, no piercings, and long beautiful hair. Much changes as the series goes on, but I will always have a soft spot for this era of her looks <3

I checked Twitter and I saw George Michael on the timeline. The original poster was saying that he was like a Greek nymph. God almighty, he is the only guy I find aesthetically attractive!! I'm so glad others agree!!
