Theres No Way...

theres no way...

...it couldn't be, could it?

I love Companion Benny. I love the idea that he gets huffy-puffy and “just a little” jealous if you switch him out for another companion. He simply cannot cope with the fact that you’d toss him aside like yesterday’s trash for… what, some scribe in rags? A boring-ass first recon guy? A vaquero ghoul? (ok he thinks Raul is kinda cool actually but he won’t openly admit that)?? Benny has STORIES, baby. Interest. Intrigue. You wanna know all the juicy strip gossip? Guess what, you CANT now because you DISMISSED him. How DARE you.

Benny is VERSATILE, baby. His tagged skills are guns, melee, and unarmed. Good luck finding another companion that can do what he can. Yeah Craig “Frowns” Boone can headshot a cazador from a million yards away or whatever, *mumbling* show-off, he would’ve seen that cazador eventually *end mumbling* but Benny can shoot, stab, AND punch. Hey courier, watch this. I’m gonna punch the fuck out of this deathclaw. He does it (you gotta administer a few stimpaks) BUT HE DID IT. And he was only at half health. 400+ health honeybaby, Benny can take a few whacks from those deathclaw freaks. What was that? Showing off? Benny doesn’t have to show off, sugar plum. He’s just that good.

He also won’t complain that his feet are getting tired. Yeah he’ll complain about minor inconveniences and wants you to do something about them regardless if you realistically can or not, but at least he’ll walk miles upon miles in a day and not complain. He also won’t complain about going back to the Lucky 38. (he’ll just complain about not being able to get in there before the Courier showed up.) What, no one else complains about their feet hurting? Uhhhh BOOT-RIDERS. Silly name. But that’s how they rode the Mojave, dig? On their feet. He’s done this before. Experienced.

AND ANOTHER THING. how many companions shout words of encouragement during a fight. Go on. He’s waiting.

You’re doing great, baby! Show these punk losers what you got!!

I bet all the caps in Vegas you’ll miss that while getting shot to shit by the Fiends or whatever. Grumble. Benny hopes you come back in one piece, of course. He’d just rather see to it himself that you remain in one piece. Uhh BECAUSE HE’S JUST THAT GR-

(The courier left with their choice of companion hours ago. Swank is trying to work but Benny won’t stop gabbing his ear off. Dear god Benny just go be the Head of The Chairmen somewhere else. Swank is trying to do actual work here.)

Apparently being Captain of a secret society is not all that lucrative

Bonus:

finally finished old world blues, gonna make an actual piece to commemorate it soon.

idk what to draw so here are some owb things :)

something for my fellow borous fans

and this- im sorry

LIs reaction to a harpyTF!PC who makes nests out of everything? e.g. they come back to bed one day and PC is just happily nestled inside of a nest with all of that LIs missing items that they thought they lost for good. One who gets very upset and distraught the moment LI tries to dismantle it so they can sleep.

Love your writings btw! Happy early birthday (or late depending on when you see this) too.

Thank you so much <3

Whitney is irritated, why the fuck did you do this is his bed? Starts picking out his stuff while grumbling about you being a stupid bird. He is shocked and a bit angry when you start crying and begging him to stop. This is his shit, why should he stop? He stops just to get you to calm down.

Kylar is so happy that you felt safe enough to nest in his bed. Does he want his stuff back? Yes, but he doesn't want to upset you.

Robin is very confused, what are you doing on his bed? Will try to slowly retrieve his stuff and panics when you start crying. He drops everything and does his best to comfort you, it's not great but he tries.

Sydney is confused and asks what you're doing, he wants to get his stuff but has a feeling he probably shouldn't. He does try to push things aside to lay down and briefly panics when you get upset. He immediately stops and holds you.

Alex doesn't hesitate in pushing it off the bed, he's tired and wants to lay down. He doesn't exactly know what to do when you start crying. He comforts you the best he can and helps get everything off the floor.

Avery also doesn't hesitate in pushing everything off the bed, the maid can clean it up later. What he wasn't expecting was you to start crying, he doesn't know what to do.

Eden just kinda stares, trying to figure out how to go about this. He's been looking for this shit for a while, where have you been hiding it? Nudges it aside, only for you to start panicking. He pulls you close till you calm down.
