Fallout protags who can never truly leave their trauma behind.
A lone wanderer whos just a little more resistant to rads, if not completely ghoulified, they almost wander into it without guidance because they've yet to realise, like their body is seeking the nearest rad source
A courier who feels as if they're rotting inside, they're not entirely alive and yet aren't dead. They'll be on the edge of death yet continue going even after they're in a critical condition.
A sole survivor whos nearly always cold, maybe before the war they had warm hands, they'd hold their partner in a tight embrace and all that was there was warmth but now they're surrounded by a chilly wind, even if they should be roasting
This ABSOLUTELY works.
I have used this for many years. Definitely b do it.
Arcade’s only sin is the sin of being born and I don’t think anyone can get it right when they write him.
Can you imagine the hatred? The disgust? Do you think that when he passes by mirrors and catches his own reflection he thinks “Innocent people died so I could be born” or “I am named after an idea of paradise that would cause the slaughter of thousands”? Does he feel guilt, this man who had to privilege of not having to go hungry, of being able to grow and tower over regular wastelanders? Does he consider the fact he was born of years of love and hate? That he was bred to be a fervent nationalist? Does he miss Navarro and then realize with disgust that had it not been destroyed he would’ve become the very thing he fights tooth and nail against?
And he simplifies it. He dumbs it down in his head and tries to save himself the sheer horror that the people he misses so dearly, his father, his mother, would’ve probably wanted him to mercilessly kill the very people he treats. He says to the courier “They did bad things. Kidnapped people, terrorized settlements.” But is that really it? No. But the thought that his parents named him, this tall man who used to be a child (that, had fate not changed, would’ve grown to be a soldier or a scientist hellbent on “purifying the wasteland”), after a paradise that would’ve brought about the destruction of thousands of good people must be a bone-chilling notion.
People don’t write him with the guilt of knowing what he was born to do. And they don’t write him with the pride of knowing that he defied it and works to better the wasteland all around him, to fix his nation’s mistakes.
Day 6: Last wish
I could've choose something easier but my dumb ass decided to make an animatic. It's not as good as I wanted but I just don't wanna work on it anymore. So sorry for all the imperfections!
The text:
...
"It's so fucking funny that yall mourn the killers much more that the victims. Actually the only victims someone cared about were Angie and Tenko. But even they mattered only for Himiko. And you've gone along with it just 'cause nobody cared about Kiyo. But yall were oh so upset about Kaede, Kirumi and Gonta! Much more than about the ones they killed! Nobody gave a shit about Rantaro, Ryoma or Miu. And you know what? You know what?! Nobody would give a shit about me!"
"That's not true-"
"Not true?! You wanna bet?"
"What are you-"
"Let's make a deal, Kaito! If they hate me and blame me for killing you, I win. If they're upset about me and actually give a shit, you win. If I'm wrong you can do whatever you want. You can tell them about everything that happened here, or lie about it and make up some heroic story. You can safely assume that I admitted that I was wrong about everything, and you were always right.
But! If I'm right you're gonna have to agree with them. Say you hate me. Spit on my grave. Not tell them about anything other than what you're asked about. And admit that I was right."
"I'm not gonna do that!"
"That is my final wish. My will. That shit have to mean something to you, hero."
"...Why are you so obsessed with always being right?"
...
„Thank you for, uh, not giving up on me. Just, thank you.“
Mondo Owada Headcanons
Because I need more of these . I need more of these so badly and if no one will give them to me I’ll DO IT MYSELF DAMMIT!
These are all romantic btw . sooo it’s x reader . If that’s not what u want thennnn sorrayyy !!
I feel like I’m gonna end up regretting this later and cringing at myself … but oh well !
Let’s just get this over with so I can gaslight myself into believing that I never wrote this nuh uh no way
Just in case you’re unaware, Mondo falls into the “tough guy delinquent who’s actually a big softie” trope of character.
Which basically means, though he acts all tough and looks all scary in front of everyone else, with his S/O? It’s almost a complete 180.
Whenever you’re alone together, he’s a huge teddy bear.
At the beginning of the relationship, it may take a while for him to actually be comfortable with cuddling and stuff like that.
He may not look it, but he’s actually kinda shy!
He doesn’t wanna mess things up, he doesn’t wanna hurt you or make you uncomfortable.
Plus, his whole life he’s had to keep together his strong, tough guy image in front of everyone.
He’s never really had anyone that he could just be vulnerable with until you. It was a big change.
Once he comes out of his shell though? HUGE cuddler.
He loves to hold you in his arms, to hold your hand, kiss you…
I think that physical touch would be one of his main love languages.
But he still values his image, so when you’re in public together, he isn’t gonna be super affectionate with you.
That’s not to say he won’t be affectionate at all, though!
It’s kind of silly how he does pda, he’s too embarrassed to hold your hand but he’ll still wrap his arm around you when you walk together.
Probably because it still makes him feel strong in a sense that it feels like he’s protecting you.
As well as signalling to other people that they need to back off.
He can get jealous quite easily. There’s a part of him that believes that he doesn’t deserve someone as amazing as you.
That maybe you’d be better off dating someone else.
It makes him feel afraid. Afraid that he’s going to lose you.
I think once you can convince him that you wouldn’t do something like that, and that you don’t want anyone other than him,
He’ll start to hold your hand. :]
Here’s an uncommon headcanon for you:
I’m so sorry, but he would not let you wear the jacket.
Cute as the idea may be, I imagine that his coat is quite sacred to him, sort of like his hair.
So unless you’re a part of the Crazy Diamonds, he’s not gonna let you wear it.
On the topic of his hair though, he almost always has it in his signature pompadour.
And no, he won’t let you touch the pompadour either.
You’ve asked him before if he’s ever let his hair be unstyled, and if he’d ever show you what that would look like.
Immediate answer is “hell no.”
With a bit of convincing, he says that maybe he’ll show you one day, but only if you don’t acknowledge it when it happens.
You agree, of course, but MAN is that a difficult promise to keep.
Because when it actually happens you wanna say something so badly because he looks ??? So gorgeous ?????
But you keep quiet.
Eventually he’ll end up letting you play with it at some point, but only when it’s down.
He finds it very soothing when you run your hands through his hair, scratching gently at his scalp.
It’s so soothing in fact, that it causes him to fall asleep. Everytime.
Very adorable, just make sure to use this power wisely.
Surprisingly, he’s a quiet sleeper. Though he does drool.
If you sleep in the same bed, he’ll always be cuddling with you in some way.
Whether it be just having an arm around you, or hugging you close to him.
He is VERY warm. Great for when it’s cold, but pretty annoying during the summer.
So maybe try not to be under the covers with him in hot weather.
Good luck getting out of bed in the morning btw because he is NOT letting you go.
He’s usually out with his gang at night so he has a habit of going to bed late and not getting up until like . 12pm or something.
Which kinda works out if your sleep schedule is just as bad as his (coughs me coughs).
You help patch him up after fights !!
He gets into a lot of them, and sometimes he doesn’t even notice where he got hurt.
He’s a bit careless when it comes to that sort of thing, so you’re always the one thoroughly checking him over and bandaging him.
It would be oh so cute if you kissed some of his wounds before putting on bandages.
He begins to sort of look forward to you patching him up, so much so that he even allows himself to be hit a few times just so that you can.
He’d NEVER admit to this though. Never.
This isn’t to say that he wouldn’t try to avoid getting seriously injured, however.
He knows you care about him and he doesn’t wanna worry you, so he’s started trying extra hard to not get super roughed up.
Plus he tries to avoid fights all together when you’re with him.
Did I mention that he lets you ride behind him on his motorcycle? Because he does.
If you’re sensitive to loud noises, he’ll keep the muffler on. Or get you some earplugs.
If you’re nervous about it for the first time, he’ll promise to be careful.
Expect to be riding behind him a lot.
He’s never quite sure what to do for dates, so he usually just drives you around the city and makes a bunch of stops at places that he thinks you’d like.
He might also buy you some little trinkets if he has the money.
He’ll be especially nervous with giving gifts to you, he really wants you to like them.
Will probably end up shouting and cursing at nothing, assuming the worst if you don’t respond right away.
He’ll feel REALLY BAD if you flinch, apologizing profusely. And swearing at himself some more as he tries to quiet down.
Eventually you’ll be able to spot the signs when he’s nervous.
You’ll attempt to calm him by holding his hand or putting your hand on his arm or chest, reassuring him that it’s okay and he doesn’t have to feel so nervous.
He’s been working on his volume, for your sake.
Overall he is a very loving and gentle boyfriend, if not a little awkward.
You just need to show him a bit of patience :]
omfg this took SO LONGG and ended up BEING so long too . Oopsie . But anyways I hope that anyone who read this got some sort of enjoyment out of it because I will never be writing again goodbye forever I shall now retreat into my little hole of shame. /hj
