i love your oc! whatās their relationship with butch like lmao
Iām so excited for asks yay! Sorry itās a little late, I donāt check tumblr much.
Itās a long one so, be prepared šš
As kids, Viv and Butch fought a lot. Like It was almost cartoonish how much they hated each other. The other kids in the vault teased them for it, but most of the adults just assumed it was flirting done by children who didnāt really understand how they felt yet. It was almost seen as cute, in true 1950s vault fashion. Lol.
Later in adolescence though, things took a turn. Their rivalry, over time, turned into Butch constantly trying to push Vivās buttons. Because Vivica was always slightly more resilient and..self assured than Amata, it turned into a game for Butch and his friends. They figured out that there was only one way to truly piss her off, and that was by upsetting Amata.
Things gotā¦weirdā¦in highschool. By then they had developed a sort of hormone fueled love/hate relationship. This of course, put a wedge between Viv and Amata, whose friendship was never really fully repaired.
They went to prom together and that night they realized they did not have the chemistry they thought they did. Leaving things awkward and uncomfortable lol.
After LW left the vault, Butch actually mellowed out quite a bit. With no one left to pick on, and no real reason to bother Amata (other than her dad), Butch took the classic anti-authority route. Still everyone kind of knew it was because he had nothing else to focus his energy on lol.
When LW returned to the vault, she expected to find the same Butch she grew up with. However, what she actually found was someone who had matured and desperately needed more in life than 101.
LW (& Charon lmao) had the pleasure of escorting Butch, someone who had never left the vault, half way across the wasteland all the way to Rivet City.
There he soon found his place as a barber. š§šš¤·āāļø (not my place to judge ((Iām literally doing cosmo rn))
Though Butch leads a more quiet life, especially during The Waters of Life, he and LW both hang out like old friends any time sheās in town. When things get rough, they have a drink and catch up on life.
Charon has grown to..not totally hate him. :)
