❛ you’re a weapon, and weapons don’t weep. ❜

❛ you can’t save everyone. ❜

❛ it should have been you. ❜

❛ did i do good? ❜

❛ i’m sorry that i can’t save you. ❜

❛ wait for me, will you? ❜

❛ i can’t lose you again! ❜

❛ you were dead, i saw you die. ❜

❛ we won’t forget each other, right? ❜

❛ i’m real. i’m here. ❜

❛ i don’t want to go. ❜

❛ can you remember how you died? ❜

❛ i love you, but you’re not mine. ❜

❛ i didn’t ask to get made. ❜

❛ you’re as beautiful as the day i lost you. ❜

❛ i wish i met you sooner. ❜

❛ let’s just stay here. grow old. ❜

❛ you’re the first friend i ever had. ❜

❛ i told you not to fall in love with me. ❜

❛ you always push people away. i just thought you’d never do it to me. ❜

❛ everyone i’ve cared about has either died or left me. except for you. ❜

❛ i know i have a heart because i can feel it breaking. ❜

❛ they’re not coming back. ❜

❛ i’m sorry, have we met? ❜

❛ in my dreams, we’re still together. ❜

❛ you’re the one good thing left in this world. ❜

❛ i hate the way that i don’t hate you. ❜

❛ it’s okay. you can let go. ❜

❛ you mean nothing to me. ❜

❛ we’re on our own now. ❜

❛ you can’t kill me, i’m not alive. ❜

❛ it wasn’t supposed to end like this. ❜

❛ do you remember when we first met? ❜

❛ we’ll see each other again. ❜

❛ there’s nothing you could have done. ❜

❛ we did it. we won. ❜

❛ let’s not go back. not ever. ❜

❛ thanks for playing with me. ❜

❛ why does it feel like this is goodbye? ❜

FALLOUT (TV SERIES, 2024): Episode One Feel free to edit the sentences as you need. NSFW TW: Mentions of incest, sex, violence

“What’d they say, [name]?”

“That I’m lucky to have such a good helper like you.”

“You know, given the state of everything, I’d prefer not to if that’s alright.”

“It’s what you’re famous for.”

“He still took my money.”

“That’s grown-up stuff.”

“Is it your thumb, or mine?”

“My reproductive organs are intact, my hygiene well-maintained.”

“Feels a little tight.”

“On my wedding night, that dress got off almost as fast as [name] did.”

“Oh gosh. After ten years of cousin stuff, I’m definitely excited for the real thing.”

“I’m just excited for us to raise our kids together.”

“From that moment on, [location] was a distant memory for me.”

“Must be nerve-wracking, your [title] could be anyone.”

“It’s gunna take some time to fix.”

“[Name], I love you.”

“We all know that, [name.]”

“Messing around with your cousin, it’s all well and good for kids, but it's not a sustainable long-term sexual practice, you know.”

“Okey dokey.”

“Just so you know, this was the best day of my life.”

“Sir, please don’t make me use force.”

“Oh, geez.”

“Oh. I think I know who you are.”

“Everyone knows who I am.”

“Do they know who they are?”

“They are the product of one of life’s tricky little choices.”

“I’m going to offer you a choice.”

“You are my world.”

“You look like your [family member.]”

“You should see it sometime.”

“Maybe you should do what you do best: run and hide.”

“How’s your nose?”

“Well, I can still smell, it’s just… Mostly blood.”

“Imagine getting to put on one of those every day.”

“Wonder why they’re here.”

“We’re brainstorming here - and there’s no bad ideas in a brainstorm.”

“Do you know who did it?”

“Well, I narrowed it down to one of those assholes.”

“They asked me if it was you.”

“You’re telling me the supreme badass we’re looking for is a freaking mutant?”

“How do we know he’s not feral?”

“Why, is this an Amish production of The Count of Monty Cristo, or just the weirdest circle jerk I’ve ever been invited to?”

“Does that count, should I shoot him?”

“Would you shut the fuck up.”

“A bounty came down, a huge one. Enough to be a last score for me, and whoever’s with me.”

“Well, what makes you think I’d give a goddamn about that?”

“It ain’t where they’s running from I figured you’d be interested in. It’s where they running to.”

“Now, what the fuck would you know about where I’m from?”

“Well, that don’t sound like gratitude, do it boys?”

“Well, I tell you what, boys, whenever somebody says, they’re doing last one job, that usually means their heart’s not in it. Probably never was.”

“But for me, well, I do this shit for the love of the game.”

“You right friend about one thing, this right here, was your last job.”

“Well, you know what they say, us cowpokes, we take it as it comes.”

Trying to find youtube videos of Danse to refresh the old noggin and everyone's like

"OMG killing Danse is the hardest decision"

LIke. what?

WHAT

What? How? Because he's a synth? Am I the only person who sees synths as people? LOL

(They're literally people made in labs. They're not even robots. They just have that one part. Gen 3's I mean. Which are like 85% of the synths you run into in the game.)

Especially with most synths that don't even know they're synths.

Like the BoS faction or your friend, your companion, your loyal trusty pal? That's your Sophie's Choice?

I never side with BoS so maybe that's where I don't have any issue. LOL.

One Night Stand Sentences, Vol. 2

(Sentences from various sources for muses who aren't so great at flirting and romance. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"I'm afraid I do kiss and tell."

"Are you going to stay the night?"

"I would change many things, but not that we ended up here."

"What made you think I invited you over here for anything else?"

"Was it a bad idea for me to stay here?"

"You look so gorgeous lying there like that."

"I want to talk. I want to get to know you better."

"I'm going to finish my drink and come up to my room. If you take that hat off, you can come with me."

"So, I'm thinking maybe we should hate fuck?"

"Are we going to do that thing were we insist we'll keep in touch?"

"You don't want to fuck anymore because I expressed some inconvenient feelings? Is that what this is?"

"Want to get drunk and fool around?"

"Last night went way too far."

"I wonder what lips yours have kissed and where..."

"So, does this mean we're not fucking anymore?"

"What am I to you?"

"I'm not complaining, but part of me suspects we ended up here to avoid where our conversation was going."

"Look, this doesn't have to be a one nighter. There's no reason this doesn't have to be something real."

"Too much has happened for us not to talk about this."

"Have many times are we going to do this before we accept it means more than we're pretending it does?"

"I thought I made it clear that this was never exclusive?"

"Do you honestly think I care about you fucking someone else?"

"A morning of awkwardness is far better than a night of loneliness."

"Would we have even more fun naked?"

"Are you going to stand there all night?"

"Why don't you come home with me?"

𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐁𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒.

All sentences and quotes have been taken from different media about starcrossed lovers or forbidden love, full of angst, some bold words, some nasty ones, possessive nature and letting someone use you as a replacement. So, some toxic energy in this one. Change pronouns, locations and names as you see fit.

I love you,and I will love you until I die,and if there's a life after that,I'll love you then.

Do people always fall in love with things they can't have?

And there is a difference between having your heart break and having your soul shatter.

I'm falling in love with you.

I'm going to fuck the shit out of you. I have waited for this for such a long time. Consequences be damned.

These violent delights have violent ends.

 I’m only human. And you are …all-consuming.

Don’t go into this lightly. If you’re mine, you need to understand I will burn the fucking world to the ground for you.

I will never let you go, do you hear me? 

 will keep you safe. And I will find a way for us to be together.

If you make me cry at my own coronation ball, I’ll never forgive you.

If you were any less the man you are, I would beg you to take me with you.

If you were any less the woman you were, I would beg you to come with me.

I've known lust. This is something worse. This is a barbaric need to possess, to eliminate, to own. This is madness.

This is lust.

She’s your very own forbidden fruit.

You said you didn't want this.

We all desire what we cannot have.

Have you noticed how the boy looks at you?

Do you think I didn’t notice? The way you look at me when you think I’m not watching?

You are dangerous desire, and I am your prisoner.

We can’t do this on so many levels.

I can't even whisper her name, my heart would burst out of my chest.

But I would fight against the stars for you.

I have ruined your life.

Some lines you just don't cross. 

I want to take you under the moonlight.

Having something forbidden is exciting, don't you agree?

The closer we get—the more I let you in…the more dangerous this gets.

Don’t you get it? You’re what everyone wants! But I’m not going to let them win.

Make it so I never have to dream about this again—make it so we can have this…forever.

Desires are what can most easily ruin us, lovely.

We were doomed from the start. 

Nothing is as deadly as the love of a powerful man.

But this kiss? It's ruined me. This is the type of kiss I never knew existed. 

You sure about that, Dad? Because he's done everything to me.

Are you scared of me now?

You loved me - then what right had you to leave me?

I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.

One moment, you give me everything that I want, and in the next, you snatch all of that away.

It's hopeless. We can never work out.

The world didn’t want us together so I forged a new one where we would.

How could a peacock lust for a lion?

You're tattooed onto my skin, and the more I try to erase you, the deeper you sink in.

I’ve always liked you, from the first moment I saw you.

It's absurd how crazy love can make you...but even more absurd how stupid jealousy can make you.

 That you and I are meant to be together, but never meant to be.

Why does fate seem always to conspire against us? To deny us life's simple pleasures?

We'll meet after this war. I'll certainly find you wherever you'll hide. 

War makes fools of men and women wanton.

What offends you most, Father? That she's Catholic, or that she's poor?

If my father discovers you here, he'd cut off your little nuts and eat them. He can't stand you.

You tempress, I see you once and all I can think of is having you.

Feelings are forbidden, does not mean we cannot enjoy one another.

The more you deny me, the more I desire you. You are a plague in my mind.

Ever since we met, no one else can compare. 

How can I be with someone else, when I’m with them, it’s you I see.

You can have me, think of whoever you love. For tonight.

You can pretend I'm her/him. I don't care. I just want you.

If I’ve learned anything watching Brett’s podcast it’s that he’s a Hydrated King. Mans is constantly chugging water. Sometimes I feel like I’m just paying a monthly fee to watch him suck down gallons of h2o several times a month.

But the newest ep, holy shit son. That is the biggest glass of water I’ve ever seen. Why are you drinking out of a vase sir? And he drinks that shit in under an hour. I’d be pissing for days. DAYS.

@ixcantxdanse and the new sole that I haven’t written on tumblr before!

———

The brotherhood of steel was an enigma to most people, and Nora had known to keep them at arms length.

That was, well, until scribe Haylen arrived during a routine training of minutemen troops. Preston had taken over to allow the two women to walk and talk, though he was…. Worried about it.

Nora had a mix of emotions as her and the squadron headed in the direction she put on the map. It could be a mixed bag for sure, they had to be prepared for any kind of fight. But the sentries inside had been easy to shoot down. Finally, she was in the same room as him.

“Paladin Danse.” She gets his attention. “General Nora Xiao, a friend had told me of the.. incident.”

[ixcantxdanse]

Paladin Danse clearly checked Nora out, rather obvious in his judgement of her. Not sexual or any level of trust kind of checking out but pure competence.

"The minutemen seem to hand out ranks like Nuka Colas out of a machine, huh?" Danse gave a nod. He couldn't help himself. It was partly a test to see how she'd react and partly his own disdain for the Minutemen's desperation for leadership. Wasn't she the lady who had crawled out of a Vault? What experience could she possibly have out in the Wasteland?

It was obvious Danse was less than thrilled about the assistance he was getting for this mission. He was anything but a babysitter. But beggers couldn't be choosers, either.

"Follow me," Danse gave a nod again, moving past her and outside. Haylen had radioed ahead, letting Danse know to be expecting 'the General'. He didn't appreciate the vagueness Nora went about with describing things. Danse hated shades of grey; the Brotherhood operated best in absolutes..

[old-world-ashes]

@ixcantxdanse continued from here (x)

There's a moment of silence as Charles inhales more smoke before letting out with a deep sigh. "Obviously, Dansey, but it isn't as though we can't adapt to it. Did you know there was a time when we used to be able to get that kind of fuel from corn? Goes through a chemical process through fermenting and all that. Supposed to mix it with gasoline, but with the radiation... I gotta wonder if flamer fuel could be a substitute... and I never seem to be short of that."

That was because even now he was still impulsively setting stuff on fire, but at least nowadays, that could be used to his benefit rather than just potentially getting him arrested. "Aside from that...it isn't as though we don't have tons of useless scrap metal still around. Pretty sure you've watched me build an engine out of shit that I salvaged from guns along with making sure that fancy armor you got remains in good shape. I'm sure I could figure this out with a bit of brainstorming, some mentats, and at least 3 more hours of sleep than I usually get." Though how wise it was to leave Charlie to his own devices was another matter entirely.

[ixcantxdanse]

"Corn? You're joking, right?" Danse raised a thick eyebrow, leveling Charlie with a narrow look, obviously unsure if he was being fucked with or not. Had to be... Corn. The look quickly changed to one of irritation, though when wasn't Danse seemingly irritated or too serious about something?

"I'm plenty grateful for helping me keep my power armor in shape and actually teaching me a thing or two... But I'd rather you didn't do it... under the influence. And yes, you do get far less sleep than you should. You would probably operate more efficiently in every way if you just did that and laid off the drugs."

Danse paused for a moment, "And don't call me Dansey."

[ixcantxdanse]

[ cont from here with @greased-ghoul ]

Of course money would be the only thing a ghoul responded to. They'd probably seen plenty of violence that Danse's previous empty threat didn't hold any kind of sway, thus Johnny's own threat and Danse's inability to come up with anything witty or threatening again.

He was muscle, not brains. He was a follower, not a leader, despite making Paladin.

He took a step back as Johnny's flicked the cigarette towards his power armor and held back a growl, glaring at the disgusting looking man in front of him. With all the oil and grease that could go into power armor, though Danse did keep his tidy and clean, a lit cigarette was no joke. Johnny obviously held little regard for fire safety.

But... he was a mechanic. And Danse was having a hell of a mechanical problem. Fighting with the only person he knew of within miles that could solve it wasn't helping.

"I can pay... But you have to do the job before I can." Danse cleared his throat, swallowing every bit of pride he had and nearly choking on it. He leveled Johnny with a look that implied he would make good on his threats if he was about to be humiliated even further than someone stuck in their power armor could be.

"I can't get out."

[greased-ghoul]

The ghoul looked at the paladin for a moment or two. Was this guy lighting the tilt? What, the tin  soldier couldn’t find a can opener? Whatever. A gig’s a gig, even from a Brotherhood nosebleed.

“Normally, Johnny would demand caps up front”The mechanic said “But something tells me you can’t exactly reach your stash right now. Just don’t get cheap when the time comes and we won’t have a problem. Not one worth risking Johnny’s neck over, anyway.”

With a snap of Johnny’s fingers, a jukebox-styled eyebot flew into the workshop, rockabilly music playing from its speakers. Placing his shades in the inner pocket of his greaser jacket, the ghoul went over to grab some tools out of the nearby workbench. “So, any idea how your ride got locked or are we flying blind here?”

[ixcantxdanse]

Danse couldn't hold back the eye roll when the eyebot started playing music. Of course, a ghoul mechanic would do something like turn a perfectly good piece of surveillance equipment into a damned holoplayer.

Before Danse could ask what Johnny had done to the bot and why anyone would subject themselves to that kind of 'music' voluntarily, important questions were being asked. A string of insults went through Danse's mind, but he took a breath and decided it was better to keep his mouth shut while at the ghoul's mercy. For now.

Danse knew he was lucky enough. The ghoul was giving him the time of day at all. He knew the Brotherhood were not respected with this community. He'd have to keep ...civil for now.

"When I try to disengage the lock, there's a grinding sound. I'm guessing something is either stuck or broken. Shrapnel can get in the gears after an explosion if you're unlucky enough."
