Think Tank Fashion Headcanons: Dr. Borous

I'm a firm believer that even if someone isn't "fashionable", they still have their own style and that's definitely true with Dr. Borous!

For Borous’s look, I took inspiration from 50s outdoor wear, since I can imagine Borous out in the field conducting research on animals and collecting specimens for his mad science experiments.

Borous isn’t well versed in fashion or fashion etiquette, especially when it comes to formal wear. His suits are in the traditional 50s American sack suit style, but they look extra baggy on him because he buys them off the rack rather than having them tailor made. Formal wear for Borous is similar to Klein’s in that it’s usually solid colors, nothing flashy, preferring brown colored suits. Borous is a big fan of boots, so his formal shoe of choice is the Chelsea boot. 

His cluelessness also extends to cologne; at first, he tried overcompensating by using the most “manly” scent available and Klein told him to stop because it was too overpowering. He now sticks to the much milder Old Spice. 

His pajamas aren’t anything special, just your standard pajamas from the period (though Borous does like his stripes). 

What Borous really feels most comfortable in is his choice of casual wear, flannel shirts, khakis pants, and a pair of chukka boots. 

When he’s heading outside to conduct research, his winter wear includes surcoats, work boots (like engineer boots or Wellingtons), and flat caps. 

For the summer months, Borous takes inspiration from his favorite Westerns, wearing jeans, western shirts, and yes, cowboy boots and hats (thinks it makes him look cooler than he really is). 

What’s in his pockets?: Little things he finds on his hikes (stones, snake sheds, skulls, bones, etc.), dog treats, the keys to his basement. 

Color Palette: Earthy colors dominate Borous’s wardrobe: a wide spectrum of greens, mossy greens to darker shades like hunter green, and browns like khaki.

(The greens on this palette are from his tank colors!)

What do you think of the Think Tank?

Full honesty? With no hostility towards you, Anon (because this is just one of those topics that gets me hot under the collar instantly): I think they're a group of antisocial, unfuckable, egotist losers who are all an unimaginable level of war criminal to boot. Nightmare blunt rotation, nightmare polycule, nightmare DND group. Nightmare everything. I would dread each and every second of interaction with any one of them like I would dread passing a kidney stone. Each of them, in their own unique way, is a textbook example of letting one's intellect or ambition trump their humanity.

Come the end of Old World Blues, I typically let Mobius live, as he's not much risk to anyone anymore, and he's already being punished quite a bit by living in squalor with a decaying body. He also appears to feel some modicum of guilt over the history of Big MT, a quality you don't see in the rest of the Think Tank. Sometimes I give him the Old Yeller, because he's just as culpable as the rest of them at the end of the day, but it doesn't feel good, because he's so feeble, and all he remembers is what he doesn't remember. He made some effort to fix things, to stop his friends from inflicting themselves on the world, but that can't take back the things he's already done.

When it comes to the others, however, I often can't resist the urge to straight-up clean house. They're a danger to the entire world as long as they continue to live. You cannot instill the kind of morality these people lack, and they often don't even have to try to hurt people. Their innate curiosity quite literally kills.

They need to pay for their crimes, if you ask me. The entirety of Big MT is strewn with the corpses and disembodied brains of those caught up in their whims, their personal insecurities.

In terms of the sort of takes people usually come to this blog for, Dr. 0 and Dr. 8 have mild potential, as I do like wormy patheticalness and isolating perversion in their own ways. I guess Dala could have a certain appeal to the "stab me and play in my guts", "gouge out my eye and literally skullfuck me" crowd. The whole gorecore thing isn't really my jam, though, so I'll leave that to the experts.

TL;DR: fuck 'em, but not literally.

Fallout New Vegas DLC Sleeping Arrangement Headcanons:

After making my post about my thoughts on how the sleeping arrangement inside the Lucky 38 would work with all the companions. I couldn't stop thinking about the DLC characters so here’s my headcanons!!

Honest Hearts:

The Dead Horses and The Sorrows are always courteous offering my Courier Six a bed to rest in:

When traveling with Follows-Chalk if it's too late to return to the Dead Horses Camp, they'll find somewhere safe to sleep. The plan is to have one guard while the other rests. However, they stay up wayyy too late talking. Follows-Chalk teaches her how to read stars while she tells him stories from her travels.

Waking Cloud wears and uses her Yao Guai Gauntlet as a pillow (it also allows her to quickly spring into action). She misses her children and as they're falling asleep, tells Courier Six stories about them.

Joshua Graham is usually the last to go to bed, so he'll sleep on whatever bed isn't taken (or the floor). I imagine he always sleeps on his back. Since it distributes the pain evenly instead of putting a large amount of pressure onto one spot.

If my Courier Six is also awake she'll say a prayer with him before bed.

If Joshua is up late working on inventory and my Courier Six is inside Angel Cave, she'll be lulled to sleep by the fire and noises he makes.

Dead Money:

You know how Dean Domino has secret stashes hidden everywhere? He also has hidden sleeping spots. Multiple pillows and blankets which he does NOT like sharing but will begrudgingly with my Courier Six.

Dean Domino has lived in the Sierra Madre the longest, which has caused him to become a light sleeper. He will always bitch about back pain, regardless if he's sleeping on an old mattress or couch.

Once, when traveling with my Courier Six, she got VERY sick and dizzy from the red cloud, forcing her to rest. Dean thought about ditching her (but couldn't with the whole "wedding rings around their necks" plus he wants to use her for protection). So he dragged her to one of his spots. When Courier Six woke up she thanked him and offered to keep watch, so he could rest as well, which he reluctantly accepted.

Courier Six is the only one he'll sleep around.

Christine has an extremely hard time falling asleep because she’s afraid she'll wake up in the auto doc.

My Courier Six offers to sit next to Christine, hold her hand and keep watch while she tries to sleep. My Courier Six's perception isn't high enough to understand Christine, but she can sympathize with how difficult it is to fall asleep in the Sierra Madre.

Dog and God sleep sitting perched up against a wall. Dog snores while God doesn’t. He's far too large to sleep comfortably on most of the furniture scattered around. Courier Six worries about him but can't convince him to sleep differently.

Old World Blues:

My Courier Six sleeps in the bed inside The Dome. However as she slowly begins repairing everyone inside The Sink (Muggy, Toaster, Jukebox, ETC.) it becomes harder to sleep in there. She also feels WAYYY too guilty about the idea of turning them off.

So near the end of the DLC after getting closer to everyone she starts occasionally sleeping inside The Think Tank. Specifically using the weapon trunk and table next to Dr. 8 as a makeshift desk.

My Courier Six has 100% woken up to some of them hovering over and observing her sleep 👁️👄👁️ (especially Dr. Dala).

After she peacefully resolved things with Dr. Mobius, before returning, she slept on his floor. Making sure not to sleep on or touch any of his notes. Despite this, she woke up with math equations written on her face.

She has no idea how he did that.

His humming and silly singing soothes her to sleep:

Lonesome Road:

My Courier Six is FIGHTING for her life in The Divide and sleeps whenever she can (which isn’t often). Ulysses is watching her from a distance and will also (sometimes) sleep when she does. Due to his past as a member of the Legion and a Courier. Ulysses is able to sleep easily in odd places.

ED-E watches over my Courier Six while she sleeps. Alerting her to any danger. However, until she falls asleep, ED-E lets her hold him like this:

It makes her think of home (The Lucky 38). Since that's how she usually sleeps with her ED-E in the Presidential Suite.
