open for requests and stuff for either the fallout series or the outer worlds, but more in the form of drabbles/blurbs than reactions since i wanna write more concretely.

xoxo ghoulssip girl
do you have any headcanons (romantic, platonic, nsfw, i literally couldn't mind) about arcade??? i love him so much, like i will take anything in quality and quantity u would give abt him. also thank u for all the hard work u put into your writing! i can tell u really think a lot about the characters and try to dig deeper than the surface (ie: u don't make hancock all abt drugs or make cait just angry or preston be inhumanely nice, etc) it's really refreshing to read!
I love love LOVE Arcade, he is honestly my fave companion in New Vegas…… he’s such a sarcastic nerd I love him.
He’s definitely the kind of person who hides behind their intellect, he gets along really well with people, but it takes a lot for him to actually feel close to someone else. He’s kinda one of the types of people you think you are super close to, but he doesn’t think he’s close to you. But when he DOES finally get to that level with a person they are blown away by his wit and his loyalty.
His tendency is to be kind of shy, but he definitely uses his wit and everything to be more outgoing. He’s not really that outgoing but he kinda forces himself to be. Sometimes he thinks that he’s missing out on the great adventures of life, so he is constantly consciously deciding to go against his first instinct and do things that push himself.
He’s very private about his past, mostly because he doesn’t want to get his ass kicked over it. He really does like to tell stories and he definitely is an oversharer with those he’s close with. He will tell wild stories about his sex life if he trusts people with it. It takes a while to get there with him but like… he definitely goes from like 0 to 100000000 real fast with talking about all sorts of shit.
He’s not super brave, but he definitely pushes himself with that as well, and is secretly really proud/impressed by his combat skills as they get better. He eventually gets more bold and confident with himself, and in a lot of ways his forced confidence and outgoingness becomes real.
He is a dirty, dirty nasty flirt. He loves to flirt and be risky in that sort of way, he loves the thrill of courtship and of the chase. When he’s had a few drinks in him he is very flirty and handsy, and a self described slut.
He loves to read, and is always picking up pre-war books and reading them in his downtime. He doesn’t care what the book’s about, so he has a lot of random general knowledge. Sometimes it comes in handy, but other times he’ll just spout out facts and it just bothers whoever he’s traveling with.
As partner he’s very sweet and caring, he’s still sarcastic and will tease them a fair amount. He tends to be a bit of a worry wart, and will definitely watch over them like a mother hen.
OOPS novel about Arcade hehe
I adore this blog so much!!! How do you think the companions would react to SS dancing, preferably something saucy, like belly dancing?
Cait: She laughs a bit as the sole survivor starts belly dancing, she’s never seen anything quite like it before. After the initial giggles, she enjoys watching and is quite entranced by it. It’s definitely a unique way to move, and creates quite an entertaining scene as the sole survivor wiggles about.
Curie: The human body moves in such fascinating ways, even though she’s explored her own, this type of dance is certainly new to her. She’s fascinated by how the sole survivor moves their body, especially their hips. She tries to mimic it, pretty unsuccessfully at first, but then asks the sole survivor to teach her.
Codsworth: He cheers the sole survivor on, “Shake it sir/mum!” he is quick to participate, shaking some tambourines and even getting into playing out a beat with some of the little hand symbols. He looks kind of funny doing so, but they both have a lot of fun with it, and enjoy putting on shows for the crew in sanctuary.
Danse: When the sole survivor says they want to show him something special, he gets excited and sits attentively and watches them with a smile. The movements are fluid and beautiful, typically he’s not really one to put much stock in things like dance (and he himself isn’t that great of a dancer) but he thoroughly enjoys it. He doesn’t quite know what to sat afterwards, but tells them that they must have a lot if strength in their core to pull off moves like that.
Deacon: He is most certainly entertained, and cheers and whoops for them, and tries to mimic them (but does quite poorly). He decides to call it the “wiggly jangly dance”, even after the sole survivor tells him that it’s really called bellydancing. He fashions himself his own bellydancing outfit, using caps in place of the coin jangles.
Dogmeat: He absolutely goes bonkers for all the jingly noises. They can’t bellydance for that long with dogmeat chasing after them in pursuit of the noise. The sole survivor can’t help but laugh and it turns into a bit of a chasing game.
Hancock: He watches them, enthralled, “Ooooo, you got the moves!” he cheers, clapping along with the beat they play on the finger cymbals. He tries to dance along with them, but isn’t really good at moving his hips in the way the sole survivor is. They both get a good laugh out of him trying though.
MacCready: He gets a little awkward when they first start, he laughs nervously watching them carefully, as if they might jump on him at any moment. “Is this…. a lap dance..?” The sole survivor laughs and tells him to loosen up. Eventually he does calm down a bit and enjoys watching them dance.
Nick: He’s a pretty good audience for the sole survivor’s bellydancing. He’s attentive and reactive and truly enjoys watching them dance. He can’t help but remark how interesting it is that the sole survivor may in fact be one of the only people that knows about it, there are so many relics of the old world that are mostly gone now.
Piper: She’s very curious about the dance, watching intently, and asking the sole survivor a few questions about the dance and they are more than happy to answer.She’s also very interested in learning, but with one caveat “Don’t laugh at me while I’m learning, alright Blue?” She’s kinda a slow learner, but does her best and eventually gets the hang of it.
Preston: Preston is super impressed at how the sole survivor is able to move their body. At first he’s kinda shy about watching them, the dance itself seems pretty racy, but with the sole survivor’s encouragement he begins to get more into it. He claps along to the beat while he watches, though doesn’t get as rowdy as some of the others.
Strong: He’s pretty perplexed by the sole survivor’s dancing, but also very curious. “Why human move like that?” he asks, trying to move his own hips in a similar way. He tries to figure out what the purpose of such movements, and when the sole survivor tells him its just for fun he’s still a little confused, but accepts it.
X6-88: He’s a bit startled by the sole survivor’s movements, though he doesn’t show it. He watches them carefully, trying to puzzle out what muscles they are using and how they are achieving such movements. He enjoys watching it, but its hard to tell what he thinks. Later on, the sole survivor catches him trying to belly dance, he gets a little frazzled, but they give him some tips.
ahhh i love your reactions! thank u for this blog, i really like your character portrayals! how do u think the highest affinity fallout 4 companions would react to somewhat of a crybaby sole survivor? like they don't give up easily, doesn't hinder their abilities or anything like that, but they just have a tendency to tear up with frustration or at sappy things, u feel me?? basically a 2 ounces whoop ass 2 ounces cry baby Sole
Cait: At first, she finds it really annoying, every damn time really? For every little thing? The first few times it happens she kinda stops everything because she’s really confused as to what could have caused tears in the middle of some ruins or a fight or listening to a boring holotape, but as soon as she realizes that the sole survivor is continuing on she kinda just ignores it. She doesn’t understand it for the life of her, but the image of the sole survivor crying as they kick ass is pretty amusing to her, so she figures live and let live.
Curie: She gets pretty startled the first time the sole survivor breaks down into a crying fit for a moment before continuing on as if nothing happened. Her instincts is that something is wrong, there’s something to diagnose here, but all the sole survivor’s checkups seem normal. She switches her thoughts to maybe there is something mental on, and without probing too much tries to get to the bottom of it casually, asking a few things here and there. When the sole survivor realizes she’s trying to figure it out, it makes them tear up and they get a little mad and tell her to not worry about it, its just something that they do. Curie apologizes, but remains curious about it.
Codsworth: He’s dealt with it before, even in a “normal” day to day life the sole survivor would cry about stuff, so he was always used to being handy with a tissue and a nice pat on the back. It’s normal for him at this point, and he treats it as normal, much to the sole survivor’s comfort.
Danse: When he sees the sole survivor crying, he gets really concerned. He stops what he’s doing and goes to them, asking what’s wrong. When they try to tell him not to worry about it, he still continues fretting over them, telling them that he doesn’t like seeing them upset. They think its incredibly sweet, but assure him not to worry. Sometimes when they cry he can’t help but cry too.
Deacon: When he sees them crying, he is a little awkward about it and kinda looks the other way to be polite. Regardless of how close they are, he knows that some things are truly personal, and he assumes the crying is as well, the sole survivor has been though a lot after all. When it persists, he tries to be sensitive about it, but eventually speaks up, doing his best to comfort them and tell them to keep their chin up. They gotta fly under the radar, and crying in public is a way to draw attention. When they explain that its no big deal, he’s still somewhat concerned, but decides the solution is some sunglasses, to hide most of the tears.
Dogmeat: He’s usually pretty good at picking up on their emotional state, but when he notices them crying, he gets a little confused. They’re going about business as usual…. but sad? He follows them around and when they pause he sidles up to them for some pets. Hopefully that will cheer them up.
Hancock: When he sees them crying for the first time he heads over to them, giving them a hug and asking, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, what’s with the waterworks?” He tries to keep things lighthearted, and to make them smile, and he succeeds. Even though the tears, they smile and tell him not to worry, they just get teary. Hancock nods a bit and squeezes them tight, and tells them to cry it out if they need to. He kisses their cheeks where the tears fall.
MacCready: At first he’s very concerned that something’s wrong. He tries not to butt in, but he doesn’t last that long. He goes to them and asks what’s wrong, if there’s anything he can do, if its because of something he did. This is giving him anxiety. The sole survivor smiles and squeezes his shoulder and reassures him, they just cry easy, they say. He’s relieved, and relaxes a bit. “Well, if its ever something you need to talk about, I’m always here.”
Nick: He can’t help but feel protective of them when he sees them cry. He tries to be polite about it, not wanting to make a big deal of it, but once they are more at ease he lets them know he’s always there if they need anything. They thank him but tell him its not a big deal. “Alright then, good to know. Let me know if you if you ever need a hanky, let me know.” He keeps what they said in mind, giving them space when they need it, and being there with a tissue when needed.
Piper: When she sees them crying, her first instinct is to joke and make a sarcastic comment, “There’s a lot of sad stuff out here Blue, I don’t blame ya.” It cheers the sole survivor up, and they totally ham it up, saying how the pile of garbage they are walking by is so tragic. They both laugh, and the sole survivor tells Piper how they just get emotional sometimes, can’t help it. Piper replies with a “No worries, but don’t expect me not to razz ya there.” They both laugh some more.
Preston: The first time he sees them crying, Preston tries to make nothing of it, knowing that they have reason to be emotional, especially with nearly every sight in the Commonwealth bringing back memories. When he notices it happening more often he tries to reach out to them, saying that he understands all the stuff that they have gone though. Wiping their tears, the sole survivor says thanks, sometimes they can’t help but get get weepy, even at the smallest thing. Preston starts asking them about good memories if they have any, which sometimes makes them weepy too, but it at least puts them in a better mood during.
Strong: It takes him a little while for him to notice that the sole survivor cries more than a normal human, he doesn’t have a ton of experience with humans, maybe they are all like that. Finally he gets curious enough to ask, and they tell him they just can’t help it sometimes, and yeah, not everyone is like that. Strong says something about how humans have a lot to cry about, not being as tough a super mutants and all. Every once in a while when he catches them crying he says, “Ah, ah, ah, no need for tears human!” in a funny voice, and that always makes them laugh.
X6-88: He doesn’t make anything of it really. To him the frequency of their tears doesn’t make much sense, but he figures its not really his business, so he carries on as usual. Every so often he’ll get particularly curious about why they are crying and ask, trying his best not to pry too much. He’s not the best at comforting people, but at least he tries. Eventually they just develop enough of a rapport where the sole survivor will cry and he will give them a sympathetic nod or a pat on the shoulder.
BONUS Mason: The sole survivor assumes he would make fun of them for crying, but he’s surprisingly comfortable with it. He catches them tearing up and he encourages them to really let it out. Emotions are natural and it feels so good to let them out. He cries with them, loud and long, letting out howls and generally being very loud. Its somewhat startling, but the sole survivor goes with it, letting out all their emotion. It actually feels really good.
Bonus Maxson: He raises an eyebrow the first time they seem to get overly emotional over something small. He says nothing for a moment, but finally looks at them sternly and tells them to get themselves together. “We have important work to do, I can’t have you emotionally compromised.” This, unfortunately, causes the sole survivor to cry more, and he panics a bit and breaks his tough guy act and comforts them.
How do the fallout 3 companions react to lone bringing up getting married? (I'm such a sucker for your blog it's like my fave one<3)
Butch: It happens quite casually, they’re winding down at home after a trip out into the wastes. They’re laying in bed, the intention was to fool around, but they were just too exhausted, so they just lay there in a comfortable silence. Out of nowhere the lone wanderer started to laugh, which made him smile and ask what was up. They simply respond, “I’m gonna marry you one day Butch Deloria.” He flushes deep red and doesn’t say anything at first, just simply holds them tight. After a bit of silence, he says, “Okay, but you’re not allowed to propose to me. I’ll be the one to sweep ya off your feet.” The lone wanderer smiles and agrees. As promised, he does sweep them off their feet when the time comes.
Charon: Even though they’ve become quote close, the lone wanderer doesn’t know that much about Charon, they share a lot about themselves, but he’s not the type to offer up information about himself. Even though they feel they have a pretty good feel for who he is, questions come up. They’re having a quiet moment after a fight, Charon is leaning against a rock cleaning off his gun and the lone wanderer is crouched by a raider’s corpse, inspecting a pair of brass knuckles they had on them. The lone wanderer, without looking up, asks “Do you ever think about getting married?” Charon doesn’t respond at first, but then shrugged, “Not really. Didn’t think it would ever be possible for me.” There’s a silence again, but Charon speaks up again, “Maybe now though. Might be nice.”
Clover: When the lone wanderer mentions the possibility of getting married, Clover is skeptical at first. Sounds to good to be true, to be an “official” gal. She scoffs, “Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free, huh?” She’s had a good thing going with the lone wanderer, but she’s been burned before. She can’t help but be cynical about things like love. Eventually she warms to the idea, they have conversations about it and she starts coming up with wedding ideas. She’s very particular about how she wants everything to be, which the lone wanderer finds endearing. “Now that you got me all worked up about this, you better make it happen.” the lone wanderer laughs a bit, but does feel slightly threatened.
Fawkes: When the lone wanderer brings up getting married, Fawkes is pretty surprised. He’s flattered, but its not anything he’s ever thought about. Since leaving Vault 87 he’s learned a lot about human society and the world of the wasteland. Weddings seem rare, but lovely. He’s a bit shy about it, but tells the lone wanderer that being with them like that would be lovely. When he gets the chance he finds out all that he can about weddings, presenting his findings to the lone wanderer, and asking their opinions on things such as venues, whether the ceremony should be religious, and about vows and things. Through the discussion they learn a lot more about each other, and their relationship grows stronger. The eventual wedding is very beautiful.
Jericho: He kinda rolls his eyes when the discussion comes up. He is in no way sentimental, and kinda thinks that the idea is silly. The lone wanderer presses it a bit, trying to sell it as a party about their relationship, but he doesn’t really care. He says that nothing will change, so what’s the point? Eventually with enough pestering, Jericho finally gives, gruff as he may be, he does like to make them happy. They discuss the details, and they settle on a quicker wedding with a rockin after party. The party, now that he can get into planning. He personally makes arrangements for the booze and drugs.
Sergeant RL-3: There were a lot off odd things about their relationship, but it was comfortable and they were both happy. When the lone wanderer asked about making their partnership more official, RL-3, being quite the formal bot, was all for it. With military protocols programmed into his database, he insisted on a full military wedding, or at least as close an approximation as they could get.
Star Paladin Cross: She’s pleasantly surprised when the lone wanderer asks if she’d ever consider getting married. Cross blushes and kind of trips over her words, but he answer is a resounding yes, she always dreamed of having a nice wedding and being able to dedicate herself to her partner before the elder and all of the Brotherhood. She can’t help but act a little giddy that they also are interested in doing so, even if its nothing official yet. She has a lot of fun describing the Brotherhood’s traditions for weddings, and the lone wanderer can tell how happy that it would make her.
BONUS Gob: He’s quite surprised when the lone wanderer brings it up. His reaction is pretty shy, he stutters a bit as he responds with a “Now why are you thinkin about that...?” The idea makes him nervous, he has a lot of insecurities, especially being the only ghoul in the area, and at first he thinks of a potential wedding as just something to put them in a spotlight that he wouldn’t be super comfortable in. The conversation doesn’t go anywhere, but a while later he brings it up again, much to the lone wanderer’s delight. “I would want to do it in Underworld... Carol and Greta have to be there...” he can’t help but act shy again, but this time they are able to talk about it more.
(romanced) Fallout 3 companions+gob react to the lone wanderer becoming a ghoul (I think you did this for the F4 I hope it's okay to ask for a F3 companions version too)
Butch: Being a vault dweller until very recently, butch has had a hard time getting used to some stuff about the wasteland, and ghouls are no exception. When he first realizes that the lone wanderer is turning into a ghoul he panics a bit and tries to deny and ignore it. When it’s clear that it’s not gonna go away, he steels himself, knowing he will have to get over himself. He can’t imagine being with a ghoul, but he also can’t imagine his life without the lone wanderer. He does his best to adjust and accept, though he’s pretty imperfect and definitely majorly fucks up a few times. Each time it causes a huge fight, but slowly he learns to love them in their new skin.
Charon: while not really known for being tender, the lone wanderer’s ghoulification brings out his caring side. He’s super attentive to the lone wanderer and makes sure that they get enough rest and water to handle what their body is going though. He constantly leaves them gifts and treats to raise their spirits, and even though he’s not a talkative guy he spends hours talking them through it and reassuring them that they are gonna come out of this just as beautiful as they were before. He never says it, but knowing that they can live together longer makes him really glad. He had everything taken from him, and to lose the person who cared about him like no one else ever did would be unbearable.
Clover: She’s pretty much an anything goes type of gal, but ghouls have never really been in her wheelhouse. She’s not sure what to make of it at first, but she’s damned of she’s gonna let one thing turn her off of the only decent person she’s ever been with. She tells the lone wanderer that she’s been forced to fuck humans much more ugly than any ghoul, and that she’s sure that they will be a damn sexy ghoul. When they do become a ghoul, she’s one of their loudest defenders, telling anyone who so much as looks at the lone wanderer funny that they better fuck off and leave her hot ghoul alone.
Dogmeat: He doesn’t care how his human friend looks, he treats them the same. It’s really comforting to the lone wanderer on bad days, and they’re thankful to have such a good boy in their life.
Fawkes: He was already a bit self conscious about their relationship, people were polite because the lone wanderer was so well known, but he saw the looks they got. But what they had together was special, and he was so happy for it. He had mixed feelings about the fact that they were going to be a ghoul. On the one hand it meant he could worry less about his human love in radioactive areas, but on the other he knew how hard it was to be nonhuman. He supports them wholeheartedly through the change, looking after them like a mother hen and protecting them like a mother lion. In the end he is happy for them, despite any hardships they might face he knows they are strong enough to thrive together.
Jericho: Besides gob, which he doesn’t pay much mind to, Jericho doesn’t have much experience with ghouls. He’s skeptical at first but his attitude towards the lone wanderer becoming a ghoul is pretty much fuck it who cares. He has trouble adjusting to how they feel when going through the process, he’s hot very good at taking care of others but he makes an effort. He gets a but frustrated when they need rest, but he deals with it. Once the transformation is complete he’s on with it. In the wasteland, if you find the right person you can’t be picky about looks anyway. He definitely is excited about the prospects that the lone wanderer is tougher and scarier now. Not only will it be useful out in the wastes, but he can’t help but find it badass and hot.
Sergeant RL-3: it doesn’t make a difference to him how the human looks. They were already quite an odd pair, and its not the lone wanderer’s body that he loves, its their mind that RL-3 cherishes. Their brilliant strategist was going to remain the same in their eyes.
Star Paladin Cross: She’s conflicted… though normal ghouls are low on the Brotherhood’s list of things to fix in the Capital Wasteland and the Brotherhood has a loose tolerance of them, it doesn’t change the fact that they are still classified as abominations. When the lone wanderer tells them she tries to weigh the pros and cons in her head. Ultimately she tells them that she thinks that they shouldn’t see each other for a while. After they leave she cries. They don’t cross paths for a little while, but when they do she almost doesn’t recognize the lone wanderer. When she does, she gets super emotional and they wind up talking for hours. In the end, Cross and the lone wanderer decide to make a go of it again.
Gob: When the lone wanderer comes to him to tell him about the fact that they’re turning into a ghoul, Gob is helpful and supportive. He’s excited for the prospect of sharing ghoulhood with them, but doesn’t probe until he is sure they are ready to talk about it. If anyone knows about being a ghoul in a human’s world, its Gob. He’s very helpful and kind throughout the process, and has a lot of helpful advice. Going through this together finally motivates Gob to take the lone wanderer’s offer to bring him back to Underworld. Carol and Greta are enthralled to see him, and are simply delighted to hear that he’s finally met a nice ghoul to settle down with.
Gasp! You're posting! I'm happy! :D Your writing is good.
Aw thank you!!! Yeah idk I was randomly looking at my inbox cause I got a message on my other blog and then I was sucked into this blog again! It feels good to flex the writing muscles a bit more so woohoo! I’m glad people are excited and enjoying the stuff I’ve been puttin’ out!
How would the fallout 3 companions act towards a mute lone wanderer finally speaking to them?
Butch: He gets startled as hell. One of the things he used to make fun of the lone wanderer for was the fact that they never talked. After the vault he got used to it, and the two developed quite the rapport. He came to understand the lone wanderer, even without any speech. He was really, truly startled when they were out and about and he had made some sort of sarcastic comment and the lone wanderer said “You’ve always been such a dick” in a flat voice. After the initial shock he cussed them out while they laughed.
Charon: They were used to silence. Charon spoke little and the lone wanderer even less. People sometimes thought they had some sort of telepathic link or something. Neither one was gonna argue that, it just gave them all the more reputation as the toughest customers in the Capital Wasteland. Charon was definitely the type of person who knew the value of silence, so when the lone wanderer, in a quiet moment alone told him “Thanks for always being there” he responded with a silent smile.
Clover: She thought it was weird, but didn’t care that the lone wanderer didn’t talk. Clover loved to talk, and having someone listen to all her rambling and bitching and stuff was great. And they never talked back, which was nigh impossible to find in a person, so she figured live and let live. When the lone wanderer finally broke their silence by saying “You look lovely today” she was surprised for certain. But compliments she would always accept, “As long as you continue to not talk back about what I say…”
Dogmeat: He was used to taking his commands in the form of snapping fingers, whistling, and hand gestures. When the lone wanderer spoke up and said “You’re a good boy Dogmeat” his tail wagged and wagged for days.
Fawkes: Always the philosopher, Fawkes tried to get to the bottom of the lone wanderer’s silence for a while, but eventually gave up. He would talk to them to fill the since of traveling, and they would always listen. It was goo practice to talk about all his favorite books and try to speak better to be more accepted in the wastes. Sometimes the lone wanderer would ask questions in the form of writing, to which Fawkes would always respond to thoroughly. On the day when one of these questions came in verbal form, he stopped in his tracks, but answered. After, he asked the lone wanderer, why talk now? But once again they were silent.
Jericho: The lone wanderer’s silence put him on edge. Sure, he could communicate fairly well with them through gesture and notes, but it was hard to tell what was going on inside their head, and hard to tell what made them tick, and that unnerved Jericho, though eh would never let on. The upside was that the lone wanderer couldn’t object to his side burglary, even if they saw, not like they were gonna say anything. Until one day they did. Jericho has swiped some caps from some chump while the lone wanderer was listening to them, and once they left the area the lone wanderer said, “I saw that you know”. Jericho was startled, but grumbled about it afterwards, replying “So what, you ain’t gonna do anything about it, are ya?” To which the lone wanderer just shrugged.
Sergeant RL-3: Verbal commands were far easier for Mr. Gutsys to follow, but Sergeant RL-3 was far superior to the average Gutsy. Though there was a bit of a learning curve, and a few incidents where the overzealous RL-3 charged in at an inappropriate time, the two developed a functional system. When the lone wanderer finally spoke to recall RL-3 during a battle, they obeyed right away, narrowly avoiding a large explosion. “Good catch general, always good to be in your army!” the Gutsy responded.
Star Paladin Cross: She gives the lone wanderer their space. As much as she wanted to discuss their childhood and swap stories about James, there must have been a reason that the lone wanderer doesn’t talk. She tries to be as friendly as possible with them, giving them every chance to join in. Ultimately she accepts that they may never say anything. One day the lone wanderer speaks up, sharing a really beautiful story about their childhood. Star Paladin Cross smiles and thanks them for sharing, but continues to give them their space.
I've got a sad one for you. There's no denying the fact that many of the Fo4 companions will out life the SS and the other human companions, due to mutations or being a synth. I'd like to how Nick, Danse, Hancock, Codworth, Curie, Strong and X6 morn their little group after all the the SS, Piper, Cait, Preston, Macready and Deacon eventually pass away.
I love the companions and Sole Survivor being a lil family, so this one is especially interesting to think about!!!
Codsworth: He’s very sad to see the sole survivor and the other humans go. After 200 years of being alone it felt very nice to care after a family again, even if it was an odd sort of family. He still has some of his family left, so he continues looking after the rest, which is especially helpful for them through their mourning.
Curie: At first she’s mad at herself for not being able to help them live longer. She feels proud of the care she did give them though, and helping them to not suffer as they started getting worse. She’s grateful for the fact that they helped contribute to her knowledge of how to care for human beings, and uses what she learned to help more people. She stays busy, traveling to treat people, but stays in very close contact with the others.
Danse: He has a lot of mixed feelings. At this point he has come to terms with being a synth, but the time when he believed he was human still weighs heavily on him as his friends pass. He thinks a lot about them and what kind of people they were and tries his best every day in order to make the world into what they would have wanted it to be. He more or less becomes the leader of their little group and is always getting everyone together and checking in on everyone.
Hancock: As a younger ghoul he always knew this was coming, but he was never ready for it. He loved all his friends very dearly and was devastated when they started to pass. He did a lot of binge drinking and drugging and would go missing for weeks at a time. He even neglected Goodneighbor a bit, until eventually the other immortal folks caught up with him and let him know they are still there for him. He settles down a little bit after that and returns to his old self, but it takes him a while to get close to moral folks again.
Nick: His main concern is the lack of memory space that he has. He had always kept a journal, but as his friends got older he started to journal more extensively, recording past deeds and adventures for each. He never wanted to lose those precious memories of the people who had become a family to him. After a lot of reading, rereading, and editing, he eventually published a biography for each of them, which all became quite popular throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.
Strong: He doesn’t have many words, but each and every one was important to him. He’ll never forget all the things that taught him because they are what made him who he was today. It’s not often that a super mutant becomes as well respected in the Commonwealth as Strong has, and he continues to strive to use the lessons that they all taught him. Sometimes the best way to be strong is by helping those who aren’t.
X6-88: He isn’t very emotionally expressive. Some of the others, namely Hancock, take out some of their grief on him because its hard to tell that he cares, but he does. He mourns in his own way. He thinks about them all the time, and its hard to break out of the habit of wanting to share what happened throughout the day with them, or bringing them different things he finds out on his adventures. He has a very large pile of food and Nuka Colas that he would usually give to one of the humans, he doesn’t know what to do with it for a while, though eventually he starts dropping it off at various settlements. Preston would have liked that.
