I wasn’t gonna make a post on this originally but something happened. I have a Tomodachi island of fallout characters (well most of them anyways, I still haven’t made chet or most of the vault dwellers) and the Barb mii wanted to set up the ghoul and lucy together (and of course I let it happen bc I love Ghoulcy) but I did kinda want ghoul and Barb to get together to make Janey the biblical way.

Anyways a day later she ends up crushing on him and I allow her to confess because drama. the ghoul does not show up to the confession so she becomes sad, I try to make her happy but I click the ghoul thought bubble which prompts her to try again, she tries again and the ghoul doesn’t show up AGAIN. So she’s still sad and to make things worse I give her an espresso and it turns out to be her most disliked food. So now she’s just sad and I don’t want to give her like ten items just to make her happy again. Should I make a pre war Cooper Howard in hopes she falls in love with him instead? (That synth theory will be canon on my island) also as a side note I made the miis from memory hence why Barb might look off

[sophiestixated]

Just an FYI: I ship barbco*p I’m only censoring it because I ship Ghoulcy more and I don’t want this post showing in the tag because it could read as negative.

This might have been said already but I don’t think them revealing that Barb and Cooper may have divorced (or faked it) to keep Barb’s career and their family safe means that they’re gonna keep barbc*op canon post war. My reasoning being:

- We don’t know when Barb and Janey got woken from cryo (if they even went into it in the first place) Barb could be an old woman for all we know. I think this was literally said by one of the showrunners.

- From the postcard it’s obvious that she didn’t go looking for him or gave up and decided to take a bet on him trying to find her. (She doesn’t think he’s dead otherwise she wouldn’t leave the postcard so I guess she either isn’t sure or 100% knows what happened to him).

- She could’ve moved on and found love elsewhere depending on how long she’s been out of cryo.

I do ship barbco*p pre-war obviously but shipping it post-war feels like such a huge gamble because this is fallout we are talking about, are we really expecting a happy ending? If there is a happy ending with barbc*op where they’re all safe and they instantly forgive each other then I don’t know if the writers will have done a good job with the whole vibe of fallout.

Apollo has given me the gift of prophecy and I’m using it to predict that NORM AND COOPER WILL MEET IN SEASON 3 SOMEHOW. (I also predict that cooper will tell Norm who he is) Below is how I want their first conversation to go.

Norm: Oh! The movie star Cooper Howard?

Cooper: Yeah.. I know I don’t look much like him anymore.

N: We had a lot of your movies in the vault because my dad was such a huge fan. I think my sister liked them much more than I did, that’s actually who I’m trying to find.

C: With how long I’ve been alive, I bet I’ve probably met her, what’s her name?

N: Ah, Lucy.

C: (continues walking before he realises) You don’t mean..

N: Last name Maclean

C: THE lucy? No wonder you seemed so irritatingly familiar.

N: You met her? Is she alive?

C: Yeah about that.. We travelled together, I got her addicted to drugs and then she pushed me out of a window. She left me with a large gaping hole, that’s for sure.

N: No, I think you’re thinking of another Lucy, that doesn’t sound like my sister.

C: Oh it’s her alright. Does “the golden rule” ring a bell?

N: it IS her. I bet she wouldn’t stop pestering you about your movies, right?

C: Not exactly..

N: It was all she ever talked about when she wasn’t working.

C: (stunned) I’m flattered.

N: She had the biggest crus-

C: That’s enough of that, look I don’t know where she is, last I saw, she was with her- your daddy in new vegas.

N: So she found him?

C: More like he found her but who knows whether he’s still alive.

N: Why wouldn’t he be?

C: You vaulties sure love to ask a lot of questions.

HOW DOES LUCY STILL NOT KNOW THE GHOUL’S NAME? I WOULDVE BEEN FINE IF THE EPISODE HAD JUST ONE SCENE OF COOPER JUST TELLING LUCY HIS NAME LIKE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MASSIVE PLOT POINT THEYRE OVERLOOKING.

[sophiestixated]

I just had a galaxy brain moment

We technically don't know if the mind control chip works on ghouls let alone Cooper who has URANIUM inside of him. So what if hank puts the chip on ghooper, he (ghoul) realises it doesn't work but pretends it does, and we get a scene a la zootopia where he gets ordered to restrain Lucy or something of the sort (hank probably wont want to kill Lucy, just make it so that she doesn't kill/restrain him) and he gives a wink to Lucy to signal that he's still in control of himself and they work together to restrain/kill Hank.

(low-key even if the chip does work on him it would still be kinda delicious but with them saying that its irreversible idk)

I'm just saying if this doesn't happen (and it probably won't) I WILL be writing the fanfic.

I gotta say hating on Ghoulcy does absolutely nothing to stop people from shipping it. In fact my first exposure to the ship was people saying it’s disgusting and weird and at first I was like “okay it’s a little weird but in comparison to the things I’ve seen it’s so tame” and then I actually looked in the tag and whilst watching season 2 I was like “okayyy I get it, yeah I’m gonna become obsessed with this ship.” So hating on a ship sometimes does nothing but bring more eyes upon it.

Very quick practice edit of the ghoul because I haven’t edited in a while and plan to make more.

Only season 1 scenes used

Scene pack: @via_ae on YouTube

Song used: I don’t care by Fall Out Boy

Honestly I don’t think it would make much sense for Barb to turn out to be good after all because why else would cooper as the ghoul do all of the horrible things he did in season 1 and before if Barb wasn’t "evil/manipulative." Why would he even be in that situation at all if he found out Barb had pure intentions, he wouldn’t be at that birthday party (as he wouldn’t need the money) and he would’ve gone to the vault therefore not becoming a ghoul.

Like if he finds Barb post-war then he can’t really play the ‘morals’ card since he’s arguably done much worse than be vault-tec’s puppet. So here’s hoping that she stays a girlboss ceo manipulative queen.

EDIT: if it isn't clear I LOVE BARB as a character, her plotline is one of the most interesting of the show. I think it would be a disservice to her character if they suddenly switched up and made her not that big of a deal.

[sophiestixated]

Ghoulcy antis: I don't understand how can they ship it, it makes no sense he's 200 years older they're so father daughter-

Fallout: Anyways here's 100 scenes where they both parallel each other.

[sophiestixated]

Predictions for episode 7:

Will the Ghoul tell Max about what happened to Lucy

Yes; including that he was partly to blame

Yes; but omits his part in it

No; he just tells Max where she *might* be

No; the episode skips over it and they just go to defeat the deathclaws

Voting ended onJan 28

Personally i think the second option is more likely but the last is also possible knowing how this show loves to skip past scenes that would help the story a lot.

[sophiestixated]

Trying to make a bingo sheet of predictions for episode 7 and I think I have no idea on what’s going to happen with Norm’s plot line. Like I know he finds out about FEV but then what? What’s he gonna do after being beaten up cause I don’t think he’s gonna run back to the vault, maybe he comes across legion? and that’s where the scene with Macauley Culkin’s character as [Spoiler] is gonna fit in?

I know from the trailer he tries to contact his dad but I don’t think Hank will respond like god knows where his plot line goes from here.

[sophiestixated]

Low-key I hope if Barb and Cooper reunite that Barb doesn’t recognise him at first and Cooper takes that as an opportunity to see what she thinks about/how she would treat ghouls but I also kinda think she would recognise him instantly (especially if it turns out that cooper was experimented on since she would know)

[sophiestixated]

it's gonna be so delicious when after lucy learns who the ghoul is, she just can't stop looking into his eyes the next time they meet. obviously cooper would get annoyed because something is off with her but lucy is just thinking of ways to annoy him even more now that she knows his name. I just hope it happens this season instead of the next.

[sophiestixated]

There's people out there on tiktok making the most heart-breaking ghoulcy edits and then in the caption go "not a ship edit!" like okayyy... you don't have to hide it we know you ship them.

[sophiestixated]

Ok this is probably me being delirious off the delicious angst fumes but what if ghooper lies there stuck on the pole thinking it wouldn’t matter to lucy if he died because he’s ’just a ghoul, right?’ therefore it doesn’t break her rule but he doesn’t know that she had killed someone that wasn’t a ghoul just before he betrayed her.

[sophiestixated]

Ok there’s a thing I’ve seen some tiktok commenters say and it’s actually baffling me. I first came across a tiktok that was theorising that the ghoul didn’t get impaled and the pole was a hallucination from lucy but the episode 6 preview completely disproves that theory by showing the ghoul still stuck in the pole at night with lucy nowhere near him and then I saw someone so ardently sticking with that theory, you gotta question if people are actually watching the show with their eyes open.

[sophiestixated]

Ok Janey and Barb cryo theory

This might just be a crack theory but literally anything is possible at this point.

I think only one of Janey and Barb is gonna be in their cryo pod and I’m assuming it’s going to be the most heartbreaking option of Barb being in hers and Janey not being there.

If that’s the case it would make sense for them to have season 3 be cooper searching for Janey after he finds out she was kidnapped (similar to fallout 4’s plot) but i don’t know if that would make it too similar to the game
