#this all being said.... if carla boone doesn't win ewan ko na lang sa inyong lahat

[datura-tea]

the most fridged woman poll is making me Think and my thoughts are that it's so sad that all these women (16!! with 8 from fallout 4 alone) had to die to add tragedy, whether to their significant other's backstory (carla boone, catherine, lucy maccready) or to the narrative as a whole (glory, sarah lyons, vera keyes)

barring the ones we meet in game before they die, we know almost nothing about them. we don't know their wants, their dreams. we don't even know what most of them look like! and what is more terrible is that a lot of them - most of the ones from fallout 4, let's be honest - have no impact on the game's story or their significant other's character arc. who here knows deacon's wife's name off the top of their head?

these women are just a footnote, an aside. the writers really said "btw, she died and that's why he's sad and angry :(" and it's so frustrating and so damning for the series as a whole. it sucks here!!!!

#the fridged woman trope is a crutch that boring writers lean on too much #and it makes me sad and tired and angry #hire better writers todd #shh peri shhh #this all being said.... if carla boone doesn't win ewan ko na lang sa inyong lahat
