How About A Nuke? - Tumblr Posts
May I just scream to you about "How About A Nuke?" for a sec bc I'm feeling so many feelings about it, many of which I am still processing
Something something about Cooper seeing reader's Nuka Cola ad like this image; parallel to reader, fresh from the vault, looking up to Cooper's movie poster, parallel to the both of them standing next to each other, looking down at a movie poster of their first movie together thinking about how so many things have changed between them and how they're still together despite everything (if they do end up together after everything !!!)
that's all thank you for sharing your fic with us, imma go back to processing my feelings 😂
You have no idea how excited I was when I saw this picture! This is one of my favorite pictures ever, I get so happy every time I see this trope lol
Also, I hope you’re ready because I posted part three and I’m not giving you a break with the angst
(I promise it will eventually get better sort of)
HOW ABOUT A NUKE IS SO AMAZINGGGG I LOVE IT!!!! The way you write both eras(?) of coop is perfect!! I’m glad you not just skimming over what happened to reader as well I feel like that happens all too often in fics and I can’t imagine how traumatising it would be to go through that and then the man you like lowkey loved is suddenly so different??? You write it PERFECTLY!!! Can’t wait to see where it goes and hopefully coop will find that piece of him that loves the reader and have a little bit of sympathy but who knows with him lol again AMAZING writing and I can’t wait for the next part!!!
First, thank you so much for this, all the comments and messages I’ve been getting have been such wonderful confidence boosts for my writing.
Also, I pride myself on trying to stay true to proper characterization, I think respecting the creators vision and original ideas when writing fan fiction is really important to creating an engaging story. So this was a really nice message to receive because I’ve worried I haven’t been doing his character justice with this story. I also think it’s really important not to skim over just how jarring waking up into an apocalypse would be, I don’t think anyone would really react well to that lol
The next part is out, but it’s definitely not getting to any of the happy bits yet, it’ll happen
Eventually
I just have to tell you that i love love LOVE you how about a nuke series. Every single time you’ve dropped a chapter i just read all parts over again to get the full experience. i love this cooper fic so much it has been exactly what I’ve been looking for ever since i finished the series!!

I’m cackling evilly over my keyboard while I make reader suffer more
THIS SLOW BURN IS CRAZYYY 💔💔💔💔💔 I AM IN PAIN!! YOU ARE SO AMAZING
NO UR AMAZING
(Your pain feeds my soul ♥️)
PART 5 WAS SOOOOO GOOD SUCH WHIPLASH GOING FROM LONGING SMITTEN COOP TO MEAN (BUT STILL JUST A LITTLE SMITTEN) COOP HURT BUT IN A GOOD WAYYYY!!!! CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT PART ✨
You have NO idea how much fun I have writing Hollywood Coop. Walton goggins was made to be in old black and white movies
Halfway through the next part now!!
I think How About A Nuke might be the best Cooper story I’ve read. It’s so well written and you capture the Cooper and the world so well. It all feels so in character and realistic to the world.
And the angst!!! Like the contrast between him taking care of her in the past vs the future. And how to him this is the person that disappeared on him at the lowest point of his life and they’re meeting again after 200 years of him losing all humanity but he still can’t let her go. Meanwhile she’s been in love with him for years and has never been sure if she’s just a rebound or an infatuation or something more genuine. And now he’s suddenly a really mean zombie. Obsessed with this dynamic.
I gotta say I didn’t think that the past to present flashbacks idea would go over well but I’m really glad you guys are enjoying it!!
Writing pre bomb Cooper is honestly so fun because I can finally take a break from writing him as a dick lol
I love how well you understand their relationship, I’m trying to make it clear that at this point he’s still not entirely capable of love, he’s got a possessive claim over her but he’s not nearly developed enough to entertain the idea of being in love with her again
CLAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE PART FIVE WAS A MASTERPIECE AND I WANNA PUNCH COOP IN HIS STUPID WRINKLY FACE AND THEN KISS HIM IM SO EXCITED FOR PART 6
Well based on that I think you’re gonna like part 6 lol
Part six of How About a Nuke is finished and will be posted tomorrow afternoon!! (I guess technically this afternoon bc it’s midnight but whatever)

hello! I am addicted to your Ghoul fic! Do you know how many parts are left? Or do you predict it to go longer?
I’ve never posted a story before without it already being competed in my google docs so this is a new experience lol
I’m going to say there’s probably two parts left to this story, I don’t see it being more than three
But I’ve been wrong about this before. I just don’t want to drag this out and make people lose interest. But I feel like with the direction their story is going they need some more development before I can feel comfortable ending it. (Maybe four parts I DONT KNOW)
hi love how about a nuke like it’s literally amazing i was just wondering how many chapters it will be. have an amazing day btw
Thank you I hope you have an amazing day too
I’ve already responded to another anon about this that I’m not really sure. I’m predicting 2-3 more chapters but no more than four and that’s pushing it.
“Don’t think about him when I’m the one kissing you, darling.” I’M UNWELL
I was giggling and kicking my feet writing that
I’m just a sucker for angst
OOOOH when cooper refers to his past self pre-bombs as “him” instead of any form of “me” I start banging on the table out of frustration and despair
like Cooper, honey, you can’t be mad she’s thinking of Him even though it’s the You from 200 years ago… he’s nice and you’re not rn… but everything is still you in the end… he’s making me mad rn with his damn attitude and sass 🙄
He fully deserves to be used by her like that. I keep getting comments about how he deserves to be happy but I need to remind you all he shot her twice!!
Glad you’re picking up on the sass bc it is so fun to write sassy men lol
how bout a nuke is literally unbeatable i can’t even believe you’re giving us a fic this good. you’re capturing the vibe of the show and cooper’s character so perfectly i’m not convinced you watched through this show like 12 times already. and your reader character just feels so good and genuine… too many words to say how great it is. put ur feet up luv you’ve done well 👏🏽
This is honestly so nice to hear, especially bc I’m struggling a bit with chapter 7 rn
I did literally skip through the show just to listen to his parts so I could get his dialogue right in the story lmao
Thank you so much for saying that about my reader. I do my best to create someone who can be accessible to everyone and be relatable. I never know if I do a good job at making everyone feel included in my writing but comments like these mean the absolute world to me!! ♥️
I seem like a stalker bc of how quick I liked this. But I was on tumblr when the notif popped up and THIS IS AMAZING!! I’m so happy my writing could give you motivation for this ♥️
Thank you for your service @not-neverland06 please accept my self insert fanart of "How About A Nuke?" 💚
