How the Fandom treats Nate after "the tweet"...

Nate: If there's something wrong with me that I don't know about, then you owe it to me as my Girlfriend to tell me!

Piper: Alright Blue. You're a narcissist, you're a sociopath, you're probably a psychopath...

(ELEVATOR GOES DOWN)

You're paranoid, sexist, and you make fun of the elderly.

Nate: Those are just Quirks!

Guess who made angsty lesbian fallout four ocs-

The first one I made is my Sole, and then another one based on the Silver Shroud questline

Here’s my OC who’s the silver shroud, she’s also a synth. Sooo, angst. She’s the only one I’ve drawn.

Then here’s my Sole and Silver Shroud together, I’ve already planned out their whole storyline before I’ve come up with actual names for them

I don’t think I’ve reposted this yet but it’s my Pfp.

Nav drew my old fallout 4 overboss character for me and I love their art so much bask in it.

(I’m peer pressuring them to drop more fallout content)

Fallout content? On my blog?

(For @lobsterbre4d as per usual)

My friend Nav @unravveling-navveroli drew my Sole Survivor OC for me and it’s now my profile pic but anyways I just wanted to show it off

Her name is Ellianora (pronounced El-E-uh-nor-uh) and I love her with my life.

They sent me to the psych ward the way im straight jackin it

In another life they are frotting and committing war crimes together idc

Cw bro getting his brains blown out ig

Sorry Deacon!!!

Canonically accurate Nate the Rake

Here’s some Nate the Rake memes Ive made :333

Fo4 tumblr is BARREN LAND… WHERES NATE!!! WHERES OUR GOAT??????

Can we talk about the parallels between Kellogg and Nate..

They’re both over a hundred years old using technology, while still looking somewhat young.

Wives and babies killed, Shaun always dies.

Killing machines used by powerful forces, the Institute and US military.

Kellogg comments that Sarcastic Nate (which is arguably canon) reminds him of himself.

Nukaworld is basically Nate’s Kellogg arc. GOD BLESS THE U S OF A

What I find interesting about Colonel Autumn is that he's a parallel to the Lone Wanderer in the ways that matter.

Autumn was around 19-20 when most of the people around the Oil Rig died. The Lone Wanderer was 19 when James left the vault, leaving the Overseer to go mad and have security kill a number of Vault dwellers. Either way, both lost everything on those fateful days of their lives.

Both of them have deceased scientist fathers.

When you invert blue, you're left with orange, and in some cases, beige. LW wears a blue jumpsuit, and Autumn wears a beige longcoat.

Both are the de-facto driving forces behind their respective sides. While Owyn and Sarah do stuff with the BoS, more often than not, the LW is the one doing things like getting the G.E.C.K., destroying the mobile Enclave crawler, etc. Despite Eden being President and outranking Autumn, the Colonel is still de-facto leader of the Enclave, and has more control over it than one may initially think. Furthermore, you cross his path at various times in the story because he's actively looking for you. From Project Purity, Vault 87, Raven Rock, and Project Purity again. He is very much active in going against you.

Both of them are President Eden's only (living) confidants that know his secret.

Both get hit by the radiation spike in Project Purity and survive. (LW in Broken Steel)

Dw everyone I’m going to write a fanfic that fixes fallput with Nate the Rake dw….

A not fact checked FIXATION RANT:: FALLOUT 4

GOD does anybody else feel like fallout 4’s self insert mc was a wasted opportunity?? LIKE WHY DO WE GET TO PLAY A LITERAL VETERAN FROM THE ANNEXATION OF CANADA, THE THING YOU ONLY GET TO HEAR ABOUT IN PAST GAMES

AND ITS NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN

like why give the self insert character lore if you’re never going to mention it again or feel any repercussions or sentiments from the past? the sole survivor never mourns, is never the one opening up to other characters (which makes the romances appear very one-sided)— like can’t we get any flashbacks?? anything??? in this weird mixture of having a self insert and a protagonist, you wind up with this very bland character that breaks any kind of immersion. and why make a self insert character if there’s always going to be a set background? that defeats the purpose.

really bad examples for context? comparison?? ((AND I KNOW ITS KINDA FUCKED COMPARING A 2015 GAME TO SHIT THAT CAME OUT IN THE 20’S, BUT IT SHOULD BE BASIC KNOWLEDGE KNOW-HOW ON HOW TO DEVELOP AN IMMERSIVE SELF INSERTED PROTAGONIST EVEN WITH TECHNOLOGICAL SETBACKS??))

anyways, so in Cyberpunk2077, you are given past options THAT AFFECT LATER DETAILS OF THE GAME; do they alter the PATH that the game goes? no, but it creates a sense of immersion because you are now a person with past experience and knowledge with a uniquely spoken narrative and perspective.

in BG3, particularly the Durge route I found to be the most immersive, you begin with amnesia and the nautliod with the other protagonists. right there’s a reasonable excuse for not having a concrete lore, and it haunts you throughout the game with sparse hints until the big reveal of your history— which isn’t even explicitly + visually shown, but it’s spoken through other characters and makes it feel more like a solid, 3 dimensional character outside of being a self insert mc.

And to make Nora ‘just a lawyer’ just seems so unfair lorewise because her husband IS A WARCRIMINAL. godddd, but even still bethesda could’ve compensated for that with flashbacks from her civilian perspective, perhaps with dealing with Nate while raising Shawn, that stress, discovering his crimes, whatever. Same goes for Nate. FUCK YOU BETHESDA. oh my goddhf.

‘oh yeah i served :T’

SERVED FUCKING WHAT? SERVED CUNT?SAY FUCKINN CANADA YOU SUBURBAN LOSER. BUT THATS ALL WE FUCKING GOTTT AND ALL WE’RE EVER GETTING AAAAAAAAAGGHHHHH

one detail however I really like, is one of Sole’s sarcastic comments in the Nuka World dlc. They reminisce ABOUT GOD FUCKIGN GINGER..,:; TO PUT IN TEA. but continuing this, they mention adding a lot of brandy. who the fuck does that. WHO FUCKING ENJOYS SPICED HOT TODDYS??? (name of the drink described by sole;; psa: it nasty((to me.) and the ginger tea is typically to aid in sickness, colds, ‘soothing’. Stressed out lawyer and mother, PTSD-riddled veteran and father, makes sense, adds up. but the addition of ‘a lot of brandy’ can add more personality to such an otherwise one dimensional character. but they don’t describe enjoying a spiced hot toddy in particular,, they merely describe adding brandy to their otherwise normal-recipe-d tea. That’s it. Soothing aid with the addition of ‘a lot’ of alcohol; what does that say about a character? a better and more used example, is when a character is shown pouring alcohol into their coffee, often to demonstrate how stressed they are and how they are forced to cope, using alcohol. THIS IS THE ONLYY GLIMPSE OF INSIGHT WE GET ON THE SOLE SURVIVOR. FUCK. LIKE SURE THE SURVIVOR HAS THEIR ANGRY MOMENTS WHEN THE GAME FIRST BEGINS IN THE CRYO CHAMBER,, ADDRESSING KELLOGG, SOME MOMENTS WITH THE FATHER— BUT ITS ALL ANGER. ANGER WITH NO OTHERWISE MEANS OF EXPRESSION THAT POP UP AND ARE EASILY MISSABLE. THERE’S NO IDLE COMMENTS THAT CAN RESPOND TO COMPANIONS, NO SENSE OF CHARACTER COMPLEXITY, CAMARADERIE WITH TRAVELING COMPANIONS OR INTENTIONALLY-WRITTEN INTERNAL DILEMMA.

AND THIS IS ALL WE WILL EVER FUCKIN GET. FUCK

i know this uh ‘turmoil’ is kinda my own fault for falling in love with analyzing classic literature books starting in highschool which it then set my standard for writing, and now everything is Not Fun anymore. IT FUCKING SUCKS BRO😭😭 BUT AT WHAT COSTTTTTT WHAT COSSSSTTTTTTTTTTT

Number one Albert Cole fanboy

I'm fucking the War criminal. There, I said it. Plain and simple.

Theres always that one war criminal that we all want.. i find it super fucking funny that theres a small circle of Nate the Rakers on tumblr, we need Nate so bad nobody else can handle his overwhelming amount of aura.

My OC Sole Survivor is a lil' somethin' like this...

Name: Christine Shaw (named after her mother) *Goes by “Shaw” after crawling out of 111 Age (Pre-frozen storage): 24 Looks: 5, 9. Walks with purpose. With all of Her running around and hard work, she’s very fit, if even a bit muscular for a woman of her physical age (like, she could carry a grown man in her arms with little difficulty) Her eyes are blue, light with a dark outter ring, (scares people with her intense glare) Shaw’s hair was very long and dirty blonde when she came out of 111, but shaved the sides of her head, having a long warrior’s wolf tail, with a couple thin braids in it, held with turquoise beads and crow feathers, one small bead is wood, carved from one of Shaun’s letter blocks from his destroyed nursery. Her eyebrows are darker than the rest of her hair, naturally, and they’re well kept, only a single scar on her face from an encounter with her first Deathclaw, coming down her forehead, through her left eyebrow and almost reaching her jawline. She doesn’t wear makeup, doesn’t need it. Shaw is very clean about herself, will take a bath or shower whenever she’s in a hotel, inn or in her house at Santuary. Has good teeth. Road outfit: Vault-Suit, fully upgraded, with tan cowboy boots, fingerless leather gloves and a leather harness to hold many small knives and a not-so-small hunting knife hidden in a sheath on the lower part of the sash part of her harness. Over that, she wore a heavy, leather trench coat. Another belt, around her waist, was an ammo belt with nicely polished, brass rounds for the scoped rifle she carried on her back at almost all times. One both hips she carried two revolvers…one of them was Kellogg’s gun, but both were 45 calibers. Those bullets were lined up on her harness over her chest on the sash. Her PipBoy on her left, dominant arm was well taken care of. Where ever she goes, she always wears her favorite, dark brown cowboy hat with silver and turquoise beads strung around the top. *Shaun is her baby half-brother, not her son (cause fuck canon) *Nate was her father that had Christine with her mother when they were still in high school (they were 16). *After her mother passed away during childbirth, Nate named her after her mother. *Nate eventually joined the industrial work force to help give Christine the life she deserved, as it paid well and he didn’t think he could be a good father, then. *Christine was left with her Grandparents and didn’t see Nate much until she was sixteen, but she adored her father and he treasured her. *Her Grandfather got her into old cowboy movies, with Clint Eastwood and John Wayne, because he never had a daughter and didn’t know what to do…but it worked out better than he though. *Hates dresses! *Loves a good fitting pair of jeans and broken in cowboy boots. *Went to a shooting range with Nate and her Grandfather every weekend (getting better than both of them) until Nate met Christine’s stepmother and they moved WAY north to Santuary Hills outside of Concord. *She has the quick draw skills of a wild west legend. *Prefers distance shots with a sniper rifle though, enjoys the precision of a clean shot like that. *Can hunt like nobody’s business! I’m talkin’ tracking, trap setting, blind building…she can do it all! *Plays cards and has a deadly poker face. *Dogmeat is like the Tanto to her Lone Ranger. *Will actually blow your head off if you hurt her wonderful lil’ dickins of a pup. *Has dogs running around Santuary like a pack that only listens to her. *Somehow found wild horses (calls them Radsteeds; they have cat-like eyes, patchy hair and they eat meat sometimes- cause fallout) *Names her horse “Houston,” even though it’s a mare. *Nick is her #1 fan, says: “Watchin’ you in the wastes is like seein’ an old film come to life. It makes an old bot like me proud to walk with you, Shaw.” *Preston low-key loves her, (ever since she ripped through Raiders and then walked into the room like it was no big deal/super concerned about them) but she knows. *She low-key loves being called “General” by the Minutemen. *She saves Danse from himself. Just walks in, takes his pistol from him and smacks him upside the head with it before shouting at him, “The fact that you feel this way makes you more human than most! But killing yourself is the coward’s way out and the Danse I know would nut.up, not crawl in a hold and die!!! If you ever felt anything, for our friends, for me, you will walk out of that door…because feeling means you’re alive.” She then composed herself and turned on heel, walking out. *Danse meets her outside where she stands with two horses and open arms to comfort him…then, they go back to Santuary Hills for a hot meal and sleep. *Kills Elder Maxson; takes his coat and gun as a trophy. *Piper is her best friend. Just needing some girl time sometimes, you know? *Maccready runs with her the most, follows orders. They flirt shamelessly in combat or intense situations, but they’re just friends. *Shaw rarely drinks, but after huge events, like meeting Shaun’s old and young clone self, she can be found in some kind of rutty, Raider bar, drinking heavily and looking for a fight. *Maccready is usually the one to drag her out…after she expresses some rage… *Loves her cowboy hat to death (literally) *Once when she and Maccready had been captured, by Gunners, the leader took her hat. After they escaped, Shaw refused to leave until she got her hat back…the girl ended up killing every last one of them. *Will fight you if you cat call her. Hancock learned that the hard way… *Will shank a bitch if you get in her way while she’s angry. *Once stared down a Super Mutant and won… *Teaches kids in Santuary how to care for things around the village from the animals to the guns. (Extra credit to the kid who can assemble their rifle the fastest, in the form of a cookie) *Will murder you brutally if she catches you making fun of her for being a Vault-Dweller. *Hates going into Vaults. *Says “son of a dick,” “ass-monkey,” and “yuppie.” (yuppie=city folk) along with other odd sayings. *Has a slight twang in her voice from growing up in Pennsylvania, going to rodeos and such all her life. *A child she finds gives her an old, silver sheriff’s badge…she keeps it in her house so she won’t lose it. *Kills Shaun in the end. Says, “You were my little brother once and I loved you…but now…? You’re just a giant bag of dicks.” She said in monotone as she pulled back the hammer on her revolver. Before he could even make a face at the odd expression, she pulled the trigger…and she was done with it… She had a real family to go home to… *Shaw is a Chuck Norris approved badass

Burn...

[ Maccready disliked that ]

When did Danse realised his love for Dale?

OOH! well, I had drawn Danse talking about when he saw Dale’s eyes under the moonlight.
