@askthepaladin @askeldermaxson

Can I sit with the cool kids yet?

[askthepaladin]

You may certainly sit with the squires if you choose, knight.

Update on my customer discrimination policy

Brotherhood of Steel members such as @askthepaladin are also banned but won’t be shot on sight. Because unlike the triggermen, they pose a decent threat.

Wow good of this app to notify me of this tag *checks watch* SEVEN YEARS after i was tagged

[askthepaladin]

Oops wrong blog

@wave-doodles made this A. MAZ. ING fanart for @avaleon and my fic Pucking Around

It's soooo awesome!! Arthur's little smirk kills me!!

[askthepaladin]

Excuse me, soldier, I do not play hockey.

Although perhaps Elder Maxson has fallen asleep on my shoulder a time or two.

sole: *gets out of power armor and immediately gets back in*

paladin danse: god that was so hot

[askthepaladin]

Ugh. The *hottest.*

[vnknowncrow]

Anytime paladin danse's idle dialogue plays

[askthepaladin]

Depends whose boot.

There's no shame in that.

[soularch]

commissions for @look-at-that-danse of danse in these classic pinup paintings!

[askthepaladin]

I was advised these would not be made public!

[ghoullin]

shitty take sunday

danse strikes me as the kind of guy to, with an entirely straight face, riker maneuver every chair he possibly can

OOC Question

This is a question for Fallout shippers/fans.

I saw a conversation in another fandom about “classic fics”, that is to say, must read fics, popular fics, foundational fics etc. I wonder what people consider “Classic” fallout fics to be? Can we compile a list?

Add the ones you think are classics, and reblog! (I am asking on this blog because, 1. it has more followers than my main, and because 2. My main isn’t a secret, exactly, but I don’t want people to be influenced in what they consider to be classic fics due to the OP username)

Deathclaws are a species created by humans, even though we only really see feral deathclaws in the series. This means that they are a domesticated species.

So, hypothetically, it would be totally possible for someone to just. Have a pet deathclaw.

It would probably have to be raised with humans very young (like how feral kittens are easier to acclimate to a home than feral adult cats), but it could definitely be possible within canon. i want this to be a thing please.

[askthepaladin]

i am not a pet excuse me.

Danse and a deathclaw.

I mainly update my Twitter and IG (laurajayart) so apologies if I’ve been a bit quiet here 😅

Maxson’s very insistent on the mental health / morale of the troops in the terminal emails, so I think it would be cute if they decorated a little for the holidays? Maybe just a tiny party? An aluminum tree some of the scribes put together with scraps, and because Ingram threatened to make them eat any needles/leaves that fell off a real one if they brought it onto the ship.

[askthepaladin]

Even though you can really piss me off sometimes, you'll always be my favourite compamion. 💜

Thank you, soldier.

[askthepaladin]

If danse got wet, that would make him a wap or a wet ass paladin ;)

It would be a problem. I have some concerns about rust in such a situation. However it is more an issue with the arm and back hatch than the "ass" as you say. But as long as I use a quality lubricant, I can usually slide right in.

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS FOOTAGE, SOLDIER

[askthepaladin]

Paladin, are you alright?

In a general, physical sense? No. In a mental, spiritual, or psychological sense?

Also no.
