Sam and Caitriona to the rescue! Funny, loving, charming but, most importantly, together. Giving us larger crumbs? Or a full loaf?
Time travel 10 years and back to where it began! They really haven’t travelled far and yet they’ve travelled to the ends of the earth and back - to give us the reasons, all over again, as to why we still believe.
Colleagues, good friends, brother and sister. I don’t think so. Caitriona, an old married woman (?) who looks so happy to be with her darling. She’s funny, cute and if she can act this happy, well Oscars all around.
Sam being Sam. Sweet, cute and loving.
So, do you believe it was fan service or do you see what I see?
This little PR stunt showed me more than two actors following a script - it showed me a loving couple - a couple who have not stopped behaving like, well, a couple!
I still believe and will do until I go through the stones! Or they do.
I think it's so funny how romancable companions in Fallout 4 hate it when you flirt with other NPCs and the idea of you flirting with people in general, but have no issue when you flirt with them in front of each.
It's like "sure babe, you can flirt with these six or seven other people. Heck, you can even be in a relationship with them. We're all part of the club here :)" and then you go to flirt with Magnolia in the Third Rail, and all of a sudden it's "NO BABE, YOU CAN'T FLIRT WITH HER!! SHE'S NOT PART OF OUR POLYCULE!!! EVERYONE HATED THAT!!!"
You know what I want from Bethesda? A book strictly dedicated to the Fallout companions. I want to know canon, never before seen details about them that the games don't even acknowledge. I want them to have several pages dedicated to each companion that go into the most obscure factoids about them. What else have they been through besides the depressing stuff? How tall are they? What's their favourite food? Literally anything.
someone had this thought with ellie and abby but the thought of vi and cait with a (high)femme girlfriend is killing me.
vi would think the things you get are so expensive its ridiculous. she indulges a bit into her hobbies sure but when she learns the amount you spend on your nails she nearly faints. takes her a bit to learn all of the different nail shapes and ur favorite designs because when you first ask her she's like "the normal kind babe idk". don't even get her started on the clothes you get. she'll stop complaining if you give her a little fashion show. which most of the ends with her groping you and begging you to let her fuck you with her fingers???
cait is more used to the expenses and normalcy of you frequently getting your nails and hair done. most of the time she's offering to pay for it anyway. if you ask her what shape you should get your nails in she will pause for a solid minute before telling you the exact shape that fits your hands and personality the best. she will also tag along with you to buy you some new clothes, folding when you beg and bat your lashes for her to try on some dresses with you. and if that ends with you on your knees eating her out while she's biting down on her hand for dear life that's nobody else's business!
When the end of OL eventually comes, what happens next?
I’m sure we’ve all thought about it. We’ve all imagined how it might pan out.
How will they explain years of misdirection - will they blame TPTB/contracts - will they say nothing and continue with their lives? What will happen to McBag-holder?
Will it be a full reveal? Will we see them openly together with their boos? How will we react? Will they be called liars and untrustworthy? Will people understand? It’s endless speculation - “the stars aligned”, “we are together” or “it’s just, eh, acting”.
Which is more convincing?
Then we have the strange behaviour - Sam’s long list of fit blond girl clones. Unconvincing hand-holding and the occasional kiss then nothing. Apart from McPretendzy- who was conveniently 1000s of miles away, 99% of the time.
Cait’s breadcrumbs to her “it happened over the weekend” no-ring engagement. Miss Private’s “somethings are just for me” is going on holiday down under - yet she starts a “be grateful for” thread. The engagement then took 5-6 announcements to get right. Written by a “journalist” no less. Who just happened to be there? And, by the next Awards event, a very expensive ring is in place.
A wedding, another boo all shrouded in secrecy/privacy - a boo who we are not allowed to see or even know his name. Bizarre.
There’s a lot to unravel. Are you ready for it? I’m not sure I am!
