every time you make art of any kind, a stat that is not visible to the player goes up. also, this is the most important stat in the game
does singing in the shower count as art
does a strong as fuck ice mummy have ice powers
does writing fanfiction count as art
don't make me say the mummy thing again

Happy 6th birthday, you little shit
I've been thinking about this post again and how FOTV leans not just into Mr. House's general peculiarities that were hinted at in the game, but also his sexual deviancy.
Like, homophobia is very much a thing in the wasteland. In FNV, when Raul tells us that House (allegedly) refused to touch the woman he was with and instead only made her dress up, the player character is disgusted - obviously because that behavior seems odd, but also, there's an insinuation in there. Almost an accusation. House didn't want to touch the hot starlet, what's wrong with him? Is he gay or something? (I'm not trying to say Raul and the Courier are homophobic per se btw, but the average guy playing the game in 2010 could reasonably assume that not wanting to touch a woman is the weird thing here.)
And FOTV takes this and does what? It introduces Mr. House as a beckoning element in a room full of incredibly masculine men. In his next appearance, it shows him waiting for another man in a restroom in a scene that seems intentionally directed to have an undertone of impropriety and deviancy (allusion to cruising, physical closeness, Coop's dick is out.) House even outsources the typical rich-man-philandering to a body double while privately obsessing over Coop. And when Coop screws him over, does House screw him back? No. He gives him a warning. And after 200 years, he lets the Ghoul talk to him in a way that no Courier could ever get away with.
It's just so crazy to me. I have to wonder if the writers played the game and caught the same faggy je ne sais quoi about Mr. House that I saw in him bc WHERE is all this coming from. They took every minute of his screentime and queercoded the shit out of him to the point where even the Reddit bros are seeing it. There's a lot to criticize about season 2 but honestly they knocked their adaptation of House out of the park
season 2 finale was good
New BTS video dropped and of course it features these gays. Happy pride month ‼️
I really do wish meeting new people when you're autistic didn't result in the person viewing you as secretly evil for at least a month before realizing you just act slightly different than others without ulterior motive. I get that people meet a lot of assholes in life but omg. I didn't do anything
Justin Theroux as ROBERT HOUSE FALLOUT Season 2
My friend just sent this in the group chat, we got the new gay or European 2026 update
A rigorous diagnostic. 15 questions. One uncomfortable truth.
Ppl talk abt the intro scene for Mr House because of the "punch me in the mouth" bit a lot, and yes that was insane, but. What sticks out to me is the way they shot his very first appearance inside the bar.
This very particular way the camera lingers on him sitting there all prim and proper, on how he handles his smoke - it's deliberate framing and if he were a woman, people would take this as a typical setup for a femme fatale. You're supposed to Look at this guy. He's different and dangerous. Not because he's armed, but because he doesn't match the masculinity of the room.*
I don't believe Fallout's female characters are ever framed this way. The ladies are all hot, but they don't pose. They get to be the center of a scene, but they aren't lingered on and contrasted to the ruggedness of their male company in such a way. There are no shots of Lucy, Steph, Barb, Moldaver or Claudia where the camera WANTS you to pay attention to that, specifically. Yes, Lucy sticks out in Filly, but less for being a pretty woman and more for being out of place in general. And when she sticks out against the rugged men in the Legion camp, that is a deliberate choice to show she's in danger of gendered violence.
^ In that vein, this framing of House works because he isn't lingered on for the spectator's pleasure, but rather, because the camera work reflects this character's choices. He put himself there. He is very consciously posing for the other characters in the scene. He is there to arouse (the interest and anger of) men that could very easily hurt him, to toy with them for his own gain and pleasure. A classic femme fatale bit, and the direction pays homage to that.
... Which is a lot of words to say that not only did they choose to introduce House as a freak, but ALSO as a willing object of male attention. With framing that, to me, pretty intentionally plays on tropes of mystery and seduction that are widely associated with the "dangerous woman" archetype. This continues to be a theme in the bathroom scene in s2e3, too, and is supported by his identity (to casual viewers) being kept a secret until s2e5. They took one look at the crusty cathode billionaire from the game and decided to put him to screen in such a way that the faggots in the audience (me) will trip over themselves. My third eye is shut cause I only need my two regular ones to see what they're doing here
100% accurate vocabulary
Re-watching s1 but only the Max scenes, then jumping to when we first see him in season 2, makes everything about his character arc hit so much harder. I highly recommend it.
Jumping from watching his despair at the end of s1. He's finally getting the Knighthood he always wanted, but he has grown disillusioned with the Brotherhood already.
To the flashback of Shady Sands and his parents. We begin to understand some of the gravity of everything he has lost.
To seeing him as an adult again and how dead he is inside. And to add to that, the symbolism of the dead NCR trooper.
has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull
“how to recognize AI in fanfic” — hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. it’s using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.
writing “long” paragraphs is not a sign of AI — it’s a common narrative choice many writers make both in fanfiction and in traditionally published novels, and AI stole it from us.
using an em dash is not a sign of AI. it’s a stylistic sentence choice that’s been an option in place of commas and semicolons for a very long time, and AI stole it from us.
long sentence structures are not a sign of AI, but are yet another stylistic choice writers often make to create a cadence and tone that mimics the flow of poetry, and AI stole it from us.
“YA narrative breaks”? i don’t even know what the fuck this means, but i can guarantee that AI stole it from us.
italics are once again a stylistic choice that many writers love to use to create emphasis, and it’s a more stylistically acceptable and traditional form of emphasis than bold or underline text. oh, and just to be extra clear: AI STOLE IT FROM US.
stop creating fandom witch hunts over AI when you know fuck all about what it means to sit and write a story, and to spend hours fiddling with sentence structure and dialogue to get the exact right tone. writers will stop writing out of fear that their work “sounds like AI” — IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! — and after a while, all that will be available on AO3 is shitty AI-generated fanfiction.
because yeah, people are going to continue to use AI to write fanfiction whether you “call them out” or not. but making a laughable thread on X that uses asinine criteria is not going to fix that problem. it will just push the real writers out because people will accuse them of using AI when they haven’t, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.
anyway. fuck ai.
