#Idk but considering I'm talking about their pet names I'll count it

[papakhan]

im really sorry if this question was asked before 😭 but im super interested in khans' relationship with animals. not only like, in the religious way, but with pets and cattle. would love to hear your thoughts on that

Sorry this took me forever to reply I wanted to draw some things for it first but I feel like I'll forget if I don't post now :')

I think the Khans have a lot of different relationships to animals, I think it's pretty interesting how at multiple points they have had some relation to dogs, with their leader even having a guard (who I hc that he considered as his right-hand man, only because there aren't any named New Khans in that role) and in FNV there's cut NCR reports mentioning the Khans hunting dogs (the report actually mentions possible a dozen one group! 12! that's a lot of dogs!)

Personally, I hc that the Khans have their own standard breed of dogs similar to the Legion mongrel that's descendant from Darion's baddog, and you could probably trace its ancestry back to the guard dogs/pets of Vault 15. I think they have a lot of working dogs tho! I already have an oc whos the Khans newest houndmaster, but I think they also have pets, I think working dogs are very valuable to them though

In my story Sun gets given Rex by the King, leading the King to have an unexpected alliance with the Khans because 1. he had no idea who Sun was and just thought Rex seemed happier with him after Sun helped get his brain fixed and 2. Papa was so pleased and IMPRESSED about this other (smaller) gang leader giving his son a working animal/guard dog, I imagine he sent the Kings some real tanners, leather workers and armorers to reinforce their leather jackets or something

Sun also loves his new pubby (and has no idea that he's 200 years old LMAO)

Speaking of dogs, Papa Khan specifically has an association with wolves that isn't really seen anywhere else with the Khans, unless you count Baddog (which the Chosen One isn't even sure IS a dog) which I think is cute and fun for him, the way he calls the courier a cub and the Longhouse the wolf's den. Part of me hcs that it could be something to do with him being a different bloodline to the Death Hand linage but idk I haven't got very far with that. I don't think its a reglious thing, since the Khans have been shown to be areligious from the start, maybe just a splinter group of New Khans he was part of? idk I'm probably overthinking I do think its also interesting that the other 2 raider groups from Vault 15 picked animals to represent themselves and the Khans didnt

I'm gonna write about other animals under the cut because I just rambled about dogs :')

As for other animals, I know its not in game but I think the Khans 100% farm brahmin, at least a little, if only for their dung to make jet. I know the Khans are eating brahmin steak and have brahmin over spits but I think if its their dung specifically that makes jet then they probably would want to avoid killing them just for meat. So maybe brahmin are more like Jack's pets and he names them and loves them so so much. I think the Khans farming bighorners or something would be fun, especially since those are pretty regional to the Mojave so it'd mean that the Khans have picked up on it in the 14 years since they arrived, which is nice for them and something I could totally see them doing

CHICKENS as well this is some really old art I had for fallout chickens and I think the Khans would have them. Maybe not so many though, I think the Khans lost a lot of their animals in Bitter Springs either because they ran off, they got killed or because the Khans had to eat them when they first arrived in Red Rock with no other supplies.

I've also seen some people talk about Khan falconers which I think is SO COOL I'd love them to have that. I know that hunting with eagles is a thing in Mongolia so maybe they could pick it up from the book you get from Ezekiel? Please. I haven't really done anything with it personally but I SHOULD

Last but not least, horses. I think the Khans very much do have horses (because I believe in a horseful fallout) Again, I think a lot of their herd bolted during Bitter Springs but I think the Khans have been working to get them all back. I hc that Khans will insist on a person learning to ride a horse before learning to ride a motorbike because to them it teaches balance (strengthens the right muscles) and co-ordination and also a horse can take you home and bikes use up precious fuel and are usually reserved for the Khans messengers or long distance raiders A lot of the Khan's horses will have NCR branding on their flanks which the Khans usually cover either with their own branding or some other decoration. I think they'd be considered very skilled riders with an average Khan being just as if not more skilled on a horse than an NCR ranger. They do a lot of sport involving horses like their own version of jousting and also shooting on horseback. I hc that a lot of Khans will have their own horse but will also share, the fastest horses are often gifted to people involved in the Khan's communication who need something more subtle then a motorbike, like negotiators or scouts. Horses also pull their carts when the Khans are moving their location. Here's a drawing of Suns other dad Min and his caravan

[carelessmemories]

@loiteringdiligently tagged me!! thank u tiff ive been eager to do this one <3 (also im so sorry it took me this long ik this went around months ago it just took me a while to get to >.<)

who was your first favorite artist? 

I'm super vast in my love for many artists and I never considered that i had a favourite until i got into depeche mode, there was a love there like no other artist i had ever heard before

who are your current favorites?

depeche mode, bowie, duran duran and the pet shop boys are constants but ive really fallen more for stromae and måneskin lately as far as musical obsessions

are you into musicals?

I seldom get into whole musicals but when I had friends who were I'd like the odd song here and there, i knew two hamilton songs by heart for a while lmao

are there songs you consider so special you only listen to them very rarely?

I take breaks from special songs sometimes, i get this irrational panic that i can't play on loop a song i love or ill stop liking it. but regardless of what i get into I'll Always come back to those special ones and feel just as fondly of them as the first time i heard them.

what’s your preferred way of listening to music?

I primarily listen to music when im out and about on the train with spotify. I have a long commute to work and i take that time to enjoy my music! however i absolutely Adore vinyl and am trying to find ways to set up my record player so i can listen to them frequently again.

what would you say is the most niche music you listen to?

the music my dad's band makes lmao theyre famous but indie by all standards

what’s your favourite music related movie/tv show that’s not a musical?

ok idk if this counts, but the first season of the umbrella academy had such an incredible soundtrack that even if it wasn't a music related show the the music is the biggest thing i took away from that show, more than story or acting.

albums or playlists?

playlists! i find its easier to organize my taste since I'll end up skipping half the album songs if im in the wrong mood

favourite albums?

Music for the Masses and Some Great Reward by depeche mode, The Hurting and Raoul and the Kings of Spain by tears for fears, Behaviour and Introspective by the pet shop boys, Aladdin sane and the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust by bowie, Seven and the Ragged Tiger by duran duran, Discovery by daft punk... i could go on and on

is there an artist you’re trying to get into?

i’m really loving måneskin rn but i havent been able to sit down and run through their discography properly

whose music do you find overhyped?

taylor swift's recent release.. i just dont think i understand whats so special about it

what’s an underrated song?

Flexible by depeche mode, its a b side we dont talk about enough. also Love is a Bourgeois Construct by pet shop boys :)

what’s a thing a bunch of songs do that you love every time?

any sort of yell or whoop or gleeful howl that i can yell along to, i always know when they're coming and i can match them just as well as singing along to the lyrics :P

what song is better acoustic?

I am Big on songs with a groove or beat i can dance to so i tend to really dislike acoustic covers. I will burn at the stake the man who took Mad World and made it a slow sorrowful ballad that eclipsed the orginial >:(

what’s the worst song of all time?

I cant name one but any modern song with one verse repeated over and over with an electro riff in between. i Hate those songs and i listen to daft punk :/

do you put individual songs on repeat?

As i mentioned earlier i have an irrational fear of repeating a song i love so much i hate it, so I'll let myself listen to it a few times over and the move on so that excitement stays alive.

do you make your own playlists? if so, what’s your most entertaining playlist title?

I dont have very interesting naming conventions usually, "get your ass out of bed" is a particular fave for when i was badly depressed and played upbeat music to motivate me out of bed.

headphones or earbuds?

Earbuds, i wear mine most hours of the day especially when im out n about

oh i sing lead all the way, I'll match the lead's voice however i can regardless of whether its good or not
