i am normal about fallout and can be trusted around lucy maclean

Bethesda's fallout has sexy robot women that everyone (men) sexualises but you CANT have sex with. Obsidians fallout has a rlly neutered unsexy jarring robot with a genderless and rlly not at all humanoid appearance that you CAN have sex with. I have some ideas on why... and which is better...

FALLOUT: Season 2 Episode 1 “The Innovator”

FALLOUT Season 2

I see people say that Lucy bounces back from things unrealistically fast, but I think that’s an intentional part of her character. She is the result of 200 years of breeding and education to create super managers. An extremely high stress threshold and resilience feel like appropriate character traits for her to have had bred into her.

Everyone else has a fairly clear story arc. Cooper is learning to reconnect with his humanity as he gets close to finding his family.

Maximus is learning to be a Knight on the inside, not just play the part.

Lucy’s arc is a little less clear, but when I look at her through the super manager lens I see a more obvious path.

Lucy is constantly mediating, persuading, encouraging, and ultimately trying to change the world around her by changing other people’s actions. She wants Cooper to stop killing. She wants Max to stay in the Vault and then leave the Vault and then stay in the Vault. Up until the very end, she tries to control what her father does, even to the point of telling him how she’s going to change him in the future.

Lucy is being a manager.

I think Lucy is going to realize that she can’t control anyone’s actions but her own. She’s still going to see the best in people and still want to change the world. She’s just not going to try and force it in the same way. I really hope we see Lucy in a bad ass “I don’t care what you do, but I’m going to be kind” moment.

not to call cooper howard a mary-sue but he does display the traits and the reason why i think he doesn’t get enough heat is because he’s a man and it’s only cool if he’s involved in every nook and cranny 🤓

Re: my post from last night, I think what really gets me about the NCR is that FNV positions them as the "good guys" about as much as it does Mr House and the Legion. House is straightforwardly autocratic, the Legion is straightforwardly fascist, the NCR is straightforwardly an American democracy. As such, the NCR gets the obligatory "not the worst guy out here ⭐" award. Because we know there's a good idea at the heart of it, right? And people run away with that very uncritically.

FNV starts out in Goodsprings. The starter mission is caused by the NCR and their own prison they couldn't keep control of. Then the game routes you to Primm, where the same prison gang runs roughshod over the independent town while the NCR is, again, too weak to do much of anything. Next, you trot through Nipton (raped by the Legion within view of the Unification Monument) and on to Novac, which has been doing fine on its own. Why is the NCR there? It's an empire infested by capital, invading and vassalizing everything it borders, engaging in wars for resources it wouldn't need in the first place if it wasn't in a constant state of war, in a desperate grab for popularity at home. Yeah, yeah, we've seen that one before. We're seeing it right now.

In a way, it's poetic that the show nuked Shady Sands. Or maybe I should say "destined". The NCR does seem to do everything in its power to replicate the former USA's mistakes, and nuclear annihilation is simply where that ends in Fallout. I'm not seeking to do a victim-perpetrator reversal between the NCR and the Enclave here - Shady got nuked just for existing - but the in-universe historical irony isn't lost on me. I reserve a special spot of loathing for a state that learns nothing and speedruns nationalism + capitalism to their natural conclusion under the guise of political participation and civil rights. Idk if this is a hot take

There are a lot of good moments in season 2, but I think the one that stuck with me the most is when Norm and Bud's Buds get to the surface.

You have this group of people who have woken up to find their world destroyed, a world without any of their friends and family, not only ravaged by the initial dropping of the bombs but also by the passing of the 200+ years they were asleep for

And then you have Norm, who didn't want to leave because the world outside was too scary and he didn't feel he was strong enough to survive it, not as strong as his sister, and while her reaction to seeing the world outside was one of being frightened and overwhelmed, Norm sees the outside world and says, "It's beautiful."

Because despite the fact that they're standing among the ruins of civilization, the sun and the sky are more real and more beautiful than any projector could ever simulate.
