So was MacCready a teen parent? He is canonically 22 and the way he talks about Duncan makes it seem like his son is 5-8 years old, at least.

If so, that makes me so sad to imagine him and Lucy trying to raise a kid in the apocalypse, while also still being kids themselves.

[post-nuclear-cryptid]

I literally think about this all the time and I really wish Bethesda gave us more info on his life before the Commonwealth. MacCready is one of the most fleshed out, well written companions in the whole game but I feel like they dropped the ball a little when it comes to his background/lore/past. Also why isn't the last affinity check helping him move Duncan to the Commonwealth? Why is he never mentioned again?

You go on this big epic mission to get the PREVENT and then just...Nothing. It's a loose end. And it drives me crazy!

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST PHOTO HE LOOKS PISSED

When I was little, my dad hired a Cambodian refugee called Jack to help him drywall a dining room ceiling. Jack spoke very little English; he'd recently gotten a part time job in a little Asian deli not far from our home and needed to pick up some extra work. He was very kind to six year old me and my exhausted mom; he brought us day old leftovers from the deli counter often, and liked to tuck the knuckle of his index finger into the dimple in my cheek whenever I smiled at him.

He soaked up construction skills and other information like a sponge, and by the time he left my dad's tiny construction company he'd gotten his GED, learned to drive, reunited with his sister and her family, and had begun remodeling a vacant business on the rich side of town into a Cambodian restaurant. He invited us to their grand opening on lunar new year, and I'll never forget when he gave me a red envelope with five dollars in it and told me, "tonight I am the luckiest man in the world, so this will bring you luck, too."

Years later, my dad told me that Jack had witnessed his parents' murder during the khmer rouge, and was immediately separated from his sister. He had to cross the killing fields at Choeung Ek alone, on foot, eating grass and insects to survive. He somehow made it to Cam Ranh on the coast of Vietnam, where a distant friend of his father's put him on a boat to Seattle. Jack was nine years old.

I tell this story because, even though I haven't seen Jack or any of his relatives in thirty years, I pray he's well and happy and eating like a king tonight with everyone he loves, celebrating the long overdue demise of the pestilential sonofabitch who tried to wipe them out.

Fuck Henry Kissinger's pathetic ghost, and fuck all those who praise him. Fuck Imperialism. Fuck the genocidal war machine. Drink deep for the freedom of all souls tonight, my friends. And tomorrow, keep fighting.

I'm tired of saying "Sneasels of both forms and Weaviles and also Sneaslers" all the time, there should be an umbrella term.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

Incredible colorised footage from 1929 of construction workers on the Chrysler Building in New York.

[saurs4thtry]

I’m just impressed that it has audio

[theresistance2]

If you wanted solid, definitive proof that the past did, in fact, happen, here it is.

[thatorigamiguy-deactivated20220]

I’m surprised the structure was able to support the weight of every set of BRASS FUCKING BALLS on all of those construction workers. Pre-safety gear/OCEA was wilding man.

[that-catholic-shinobi]

The Chrysler Building had zero fatalities during construction. But the osha violations hurt my soul

[the-mighty-birdy-deactivated202]

TERRIFYING

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

Many of these men were Mohawk Native Americans! The Mohawk had a reputation as ironworkers and worked on most of the big interwar-era construction projects in NYC, also including the Empire State Building and the George Washington Bridge.

Rock bands used to just write about whatever the fuck. Not to be all "old music was better!" but when's the last time the world's highest selling band released a song about killing people with hammers. The Who made an entire rock opera about a deaf, mute, and blind guy who is so good at pinball that he inspires a cultlike group of devotees who think he's the next christ. It was released at the peak of their popularity and was made into a movie featuring people like Elton John and Tina Turner.

I think classic rock gets a reputation for being all about girls and cars and drugs but for about 15-20 years there were absolutely no rules on acceptable song subject matter. Pink Floyd has a song about a gnome going on an adventure. Alice Cooper has a whole album about breaking out of the Ableist Insane Asylum because he misses his dog. These weren't weird little indie groups, these were all highly successful charting bands getting radio airplay and selling out stadiums.

We need to bring this culture back. No more love songs. Sing about wizards.

[jellogram]

Some of you are missing the point. I know there's music like this out now! I was heavily involved in the indie music scene for a while and actually marketed some stuff like this at the venue I worked at.

But what I am lamenting here is these kinds of off-the-wall topics have been relegated to random artists on bandcamp and maybe the occasional indie sleeper hit, when it used to be the biggest names in the business. I want Harry Styles to release a song about an elf prince in a magic kingdom. I want Taylor Swift to write about an alien warlord.

"You're barking up the wrong tree expecting that from them!" That's the POINT. Expecting the most popular radio played artists to make weird random shit shouldn't be out of pocket. Somewhere along the way it only became profitable/socially acceptable to write the same four song topics over and over and I think it's boring.

i LOVE IT WHEN REDEEMABLE CHARACTERS RELAPSE INTO THEIR OLD WAYS!!! WHEN THEY GO BACK TO THE DARK SIDE!!! TO THE FEIGNED COMFORT OF WHEN THINGS FELT GOOD!!

If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.

best part of the FNAF movie was that Josh Hutcherson was having the WORST time of his life. dude was stressed out the entire runtime. the only reason why he got the security job was because his job counselor just so happened to be the guy who murdered his little brother. Vanessa kept lore-dumping to him but he wasn't getting it because he was running on like 2 hours of sleep. his b-plot was his aunt trying to ruin his life. ghost children tried to murder him multiple times. he almost touched a springlock suit. the climax was him getting beat up by a guy in a fursuit. Golden Freddy manifested in his house. it was awesome 10/10.

she also killed and dissected a rabbit so that her peter rabbit would be as ACCURATE as possible. all the magic of countless children’s childhoods was built upon the bones of a single bunny’s sacrifice. how delightful. how horrific. what necromancer could dream of such impact with a single stroke of their blade.

(celebrated children’s fantasist) diana wynne jones said that she once wandered into beatrix potter’s yard by accident as a kid and got chased off because beatrix potter disliked children, which really fits into the rest of this quite neatly
