“Hell is other people” Don’t be a creep. DMs r open!

I just finished the “Fallout” series on Prime Video and (as always) I have thoughts. [WITHOUT SPOILERS]

The show is based off a series of games called “Fallout”, concerning the post nuclear war world. In the most basic way, the games portray life after that time and gave you, the player, many challenges to face.

Of course there was a concern that the show will turn out badly, because in the past decade the only good adaptation of a game was “The last of us”, the other ones flopped.

But I am here to tell you that Fallout completely changes the bad curse that was given the adaptations of games.

1. The show trusts the viewer:

You don’t get information on the plate (like avatar did for example), you received them at a specific time and that makes you interested in the show. I really like the fact that the directors didn’t put everything at the start so that the viewer won’t “lose interest”. This is really important because in today’s time it is really hard to find a show that understands that their viewer is smart.

2. I think the plot is really interesting:

Without saying any information I think the plot is very well put together, it makes sense, it’s not forced and that makes the show interesting.

3. The characters are not “one dimensional”:

I am not saying literally, but you can see that every single character has their flaws and their good sides. The fact that they are just… people makes the show so much better. I found myself rooting for the “bad” characters just because they were written in the way that they weren’t actually “bad”, if you know what I mean

4. I like the representation:

It is really hard to put representation in a show without forcing it and make it obvious but this show made it so good to include non-binary people, people of different colour and even though it’s just a minor fact I think it is just nice.

5. And the most important thing:

It is just really fun. The jokes are subtle but cool. The plot is interesting. That makes you watch one episode and then put the next one. I finished the show in one day and honestly I couldn’t stop myself from it.

I really hope they will be season two and I really hope that the next adaptations of games will be like fallout.

In regards to Point 3, the best way they described why they liked The Ghoul was because he knows who he is. He isn't trying to pretend he is a good guy, that he did what he did to survive. He knows he's a bastard and revels in that.

Pulling the trigger is as easy to him as pouring a cup of coffee

I never thought of it that way, that’s actually very interesting. I feel like as people we really like to reveal and see the truth even if it’s ugly. It’s just something reassuring in knowing.

The new design of tumblr comment section makes me feel like I’m playing mystic messenger

"every decision I make leads me to where I'm supposed to go" WRONG!! sometimes you make stupid decisions that lead you to stupid situations, be at peace with that

do I feel empty because there is no new Percy Jackson episode? yes

…yes.

I love looking at people making Percabeth edits while after (SPOILERS BOOK 4 & 5) literally Annabeth kissed Percy, that kid left for like 2 weeks to some kind of “Love island” to flirt with Calypso AND he considered staying with her because “she was so naturally pretty”. Boy wanted the manic pixie dream girl, but then, he went back, didn’t speak to Annabeth for like a week and THEN he was like ,,let’s just call my girl best friend to save us”!?. So he basically said ,,Sorry babe, but my GIRLBSF is better at YOUR craft”!! Are you kidding me!?

And then he, I shit you not, considered inviting Rachel to his bday party, but NOT ANNABETH?! And then, he DIDNT speak to Annabeth for like a YEAR?! But was still bff 🤞 with Rachel!! COME ON.

And that’s not even the worst part

Rachel just, like, kissed him before he left to save the world and he was just like ,,😃👍”?? (And he saw her in bikinis..)

I’m not shitting on Rachel. I personally kind of love her. I’m just saying that our son is a playboy and I’m tired of pretending he is not.

I actually really loved the scene where Sally is kind of yelling at Percy (when he locks himself in the car) and that’s because, in the books Sally is this ,,perfect, kind, fairy- like mother” which is ofc from Percy’s perspective, but I was afraid that they would make her literally like that in the show, which is just not realistic. She is a great mother, because she is caring, loving but also, in some points, strict, which evokes respect and, surprisingly, a sense of security. I love that the show doesn’t try to show that raising Percy was „easy” because it just…wasn’t. I was afraid that they will try to paint this picture of „good parenting” by painting Sally like a one dimensional character with “nice lady” qualities, but I’m nicely surprised.

Do you remember that one camp “counselor”? I mean, he wasn't a "counselor" because he was just an older camper, but he practically was because he helped everyone. He was kind, helpful, hardworking and joyful. He never judged, and there were such rays of kindness in his eyes. He played football with little boys and wore beaded bracelets that little girls from the younger groups made for him. He wasn't afraid when his girl friends did his braids or makeup. And even then he seemed so perfectly boyish. He was such a great big brother to the kids, and he looked so cool around the campfire sitting with friends his own age. He always helped. Always. He carried suitcases for the younger campers. He hugged someone who was crying. He talked to misfits. He never judged. Never. He was appreciated by the coaches for his merits, but he was also so modest. He was the one who dressed your wound if you fell while playing. He was the one who resolved conflicts, even when it came to the division of cleaning. He was the perfect example of how every boy should behave. And really, how EVERYONE should behave. And even if you didn't like LIKE him, you felt stressed talking to him because he was so cool. So much older, taller and cooler. And you admired him. Because everyone admired him. Because how can you not admire him?

Do you remember him? Well, that was Luke Castellan

So yeah..I get it. I wouldn’t believe it either. I would be in denial just like the Gods, just like Annabeth.

Cuz, think about this guy. How could he turn evil if he was the definition of good.
