Whenever I replay fallout new Vegas I can’t stop thinking about how the game starts with you being shot in the head and that’s a big deal but then you spend the rest of the game getting shot by enemies, sometimes including in the head, and you just walk it off no prablem

Yurifies your trolley problem <3

[autism-on-titan]

I think with the trolley operators ship, Ava would get very "submissive in the way a livestock guardian dog submits to the sheep it kills for." Yk what I mean?

Like, Eva is everything Ava is trying to be. She stopped the stars from dying out. She committed to her cause, no matter what it took. Where Ava died trying to save Simon, Eva sent Grace to his death without a second thought. Eva stays cold and neutral in the face of impossible odds. She never lets her uncaring mask slip. Ava is loud, aggressive, and never comes off as certain as she wants to be.

Ava so desperately wants to be the woman who pulled her ashore from the freezing ocean after she was certain she had died. In lieu of crawling into Eva's body and wearing her skin, Ava devotes herself to Eva with the fervor that Eden had for the last tree. She would kill or die for her. She feels an envy so deep that it's carnal. Eva Stratt is the emblematic of the COI itself, she is Ava's ideals given form.

Eva is disconcerted by Ava's behaviour. She doesn't believe she deserves the worship Ava gives her. She killed a man, her only real friend, and she's certain she'll burn in hell again after she's lived it on earth. Still, selfishly, she doesn't stop Ava from praising her. Even if she doesn't deserve it, Eva feels the pit in her stomach let up when Ava holds her.

Eva Stratt x Ava (iron lung)

Now it's Stratt's turn to deal with a person from iron lung universe and all the trauma that comes with it. She was prepared to save the world in any way possible, not to deal with this random woman, who is covered in blood, randomly appearing from nowhere

Also she is cannonically not very good with people, so this would be so difficult for her. She used to have a guy to deal with stuff like this, but he was launched into space, so....

Something about how I can relate everything to greek mythos if I squint hard enough. But YEAH so funny story, after posting this protoframe, had like a couple people going (give him a ryan gosling). And thus the rabbit hole began. I did in fact see both movies and working on the book and played the game (poorly).

no time for mansplaining, this place is gonna blow

[yugirimistwalker]

actually, it’s going to collapse. the bombs are only there to break the supports and compromise the structural integrity of the building so much that it collapses on itself. you would need a much more powerful bomb to literally blow up the building from the inside out since most of the energy would just be absorbed by th

When the story has a sequence where the characters each get personally tortured with their exact personalized greatest fears and traumas

something that’s been bugging me, genuinely curious if there’s a consensus here

rocky’s double-tap ‘question’ indicator is:

how interrogatives work in normal adult eridian speech

the actual eridian word for ‘question’ and rocky just tacks it on for clarity

something he and grace made up because the translator can’t do tone of voice

technically real eridian grammar but it’s the equivalent of baby talk

secret fifth thing

i will say i think the biggest potential point toward it NOT being a standard eridian speech pattern in the movie is the fact that rocky doesn't use it sometimes, the most notable being when grace confirms he's going to die. "why didn't you tell me?" has no question indicator. you could argue it's a storytelling choice, maybe to keep the flow of a relatively serious conversation, but he doesn't even do the double tap, which could have been left in pretty unobtrusively

the other instance that comes to mind is when he's explaining the 'fishing' plan to what he thinks is a live feed to earth. and honestly that one's even more interesting, because while the 'question?' text-to-speech is missing, he DOES do a double tap, *after* he doesn't get an answer. it's translated as 'hello???'

[mumblesplash]

possibly even more unpopular read that i’m 100% certain about: eridians ending sentences with ‘statement’ is absolutely not a thing at all. the only time rocky does that in the entire movie is a callback to when grace said it during the fishing trip
