Fallout Season 2 + Onion Headlines
The Fallout show, at least to me, has a very interesting view on gender and even switches certain gender dynamics around that are different that from what we usually see in media
Chet is the clueless househusband who has no power in the relationship at all. He's forced into submission by Stephanie (who has not only has professional power, being the new overseer, but also emotional power, with the baby) and has unwillingly taken the role as Husband and Father, and now he's left defenseless to do anything except gather information from the sidelines as he tries to help the people of the Vault.
Cooper is obviously bringing money to the family, but he isn't the main breadwinner. I definitely think Barb, one of the higher ups at one of the richest companies in the country, would definitely be making more than some actor. And because of his status, he's left in the dark to everything going in around him and is forced to look for answers himself. He's not allowed in certain places or involved in certain conversations (or simply doesn't want to be) because of who he is, so he finds ways around it so he can find what he's looking for. With this role we see in women, they are underestimated and left in the dark because they're a woman and not because of their job or who they're married to.
Lucy and Norm also have a dynamic switch. Typically it's the son searching for the father and it's the son who is the father's pride and joy who will continue on the family legacy, but this isn't the case for the MacLean siblings. Lucy was Hank's pride and joy; she's the one who is brave enough to search for their father, she's the one he trusts the most to believe in his cause and understand what he's doing for Vault Tec. Norm is pushed to the sides by Hank because of his lack of enthusiasm for pretty much everything. So instead of being put on any family related quests, his quest is related to finding out his father's secrets and he is expected to navigate through this quest without the help of his sister, something he is not used to.
Even Betty (pre war), while just an assistant to Barb, seems to have no real power dynamic between them other than boss and employee, and it seems like Barb even trusts Betty enough to tell her that things are not okay. Usually the assistants are women with little to no purpose other than serving their boss, but with Betty (both pre war and post war) we see this isn't the case
Or Ma June being the "wise elder who s teaches the protagonist". Typically we see these roles taken by men, who are comedic but wise elderly men who teach the young main character about how the world around then works. And when these roles are taken by women, usually she is less comedic and more of a sweet elder or her comedic moments come from her hidden strength or wise cracking sarcasm, but Ma June isn't either. Yes she's and elderly woman who teaches Lucy and Norm a few things, but she's not wise and she definitely doesn't want to be teaching them anything. She is just a survivor like everyone else in the wasteland who gets sucked up in the Maclean Family issues.
These are just the few I could think of, and I probably could go into more detail about them, but it was just something I noticed recently. I think that's why I love this show so much is that everything is different than what we're used to as audience members; from moments like the bombing of Shady Sands (which many writers aren't comfortable with destroying places or people out of fear *cough*dufferbrothers*cough*) to changing the cliches and dynamics around from the traditional ways.

I’m curious; do we think Norm & Claudia are going to be a couple, or just friends? I could see it going either way and would be happy about either, but it would be cool to have a third interracial couple be canonized.
i’m not opposed to either but what i think they would need to do first is explore their lives and relationships pre canon first. they both got pretty screwed over by seasons 2s awful pacing (still upset about that lmao) so i think they need to pick up the slack from that whole mess first.
norm has likely been socially ostracised for most of his life due to being unable to participate in vault society in the way that was expected of him. on top of the way people are treated in the vaults (as property to be traded and used for the betterment of everyone, not as bodies belonging to human beings with autonomy), that’s gotta fuck up your ability to connect with others in ways beyond just being a kind person (which we know he fundamentally is).
we know so much less about claudia so this is mostly speculation but i’ve been theorising that her friendliness towards norm at the vault tech hq was at least partially a front to protect herself once she realised he was safe and that she’ll have one of the highest charisma stats of anyone in the show so far. for extra angst, i like to imagine she had a huge family, loads of friends and was generally very beloved and highly regarded (which helped her get into vault tec in the first place, leading to her getting locked in an ice box for 200 years of no human contact. obviously she wasn’t conscious for it but i refuse to believe that it wouldn’t effect her at all yk?).
if they do get together right off the bat (you’re the only person i have left type thing), i think it’d be cool if they realise that it’s not really working out or that it’s very surface level, something like that. i can definitely see them both developing issues regarding control over their lives and what they’re surrounded by and depending on the other to cope with it.
(again, norm and his sister were effectively raised as breeding stock 🤢 and claudia lived with the threat of nuclear war hanging over her head for years before it actually happened. that doesn’t even factor in that they both almost died/were severely injured in s2.)
there’s so much that could be done with them with the proper setup and i really hope they get better than s2 because it was a poorly paced hot mess 😭

Fallout on Amazon Prime is a work of fiction and you can tell because it depicts a man washing his hands after using the bathroom
thinking about Quintus calling Max a sword all those times.
And thinking about how Max keeps throwing himself in front of others over and over. When it's needed, when it's not, when the odds are good, when he's facing certain death. Whether he knows the people he's protecting or not.
He's not a sword. He's a shield.

I really appreciate the Fallout show’s commitment to interracial relationships and how much diversity there is among the cast. It’s very refreshing to see.
I've never seen this LMFAO????
I drew my boy Maximus and Lucy my two favorite characters in the show Fall Out. I was watching it with my sister today and felt the need to draw these two.
I like how it’s established that Max is NOT above being petty and vengeful. He says he joined the brotherhood “to hurt those who have hurt me” and he lets Titus die and he treats Thaddeus the shitty way he was Treated as a squire too. He can be mean! That’s just as important to me as him being a good person bc he’d had years of abuse in the Brotherhood and had to re-learn how to do the right thing Again instead of continuing to abuse his power.
