May I ask for one headcanon for each of the Fallout: Three companions? + Gob if you are willing to accommodate the request.
(I love your theme.)
Ta.
📻
Thankyou so much 📻RadioAnon! Mr. Sinclair is fine if you'd like to call me that but I'd like to stress that I'm not a roleplayer! Thankyou for the quick and easy ask, I love Fallout Three so couldn't help myself from jumping on this immediately! Gob is such a sweet boy too, your request is more than accommodated — it is very welcome!
【FO3】 ONE HEADCANON FOR EACH COMPANION + GOB
Butch Deloria has Native American ancestry on his mother's side. He took her surname at birth due to the lack of known father, and the Deloria's apartment has ancient, rotting books: journals and diary entries, cookbooks and poems that have been handed down Ellen's family since the original Delorias entered the vault. The ability to read and speak the language was lost some generations ago... but Butch would occasionally drag them out from under his mom's bed and look at them. It helps him feel less out of place and like he belongs despite his broken family — and he wishes dearly he could read the messages left for him.
Charon radiates heat like a furnace. He is the best hot water bottle to have in the harsh DC winters; if you can get close enough to siphon it. Even sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, (again if he allows it) is enough to fight the worst of any chill. However this also backfires in the sweltering summers — Charon will constantly grumble and scowl, hair matted to his head with sweat. He doesn't let it affect him in the field, but you can bet once the coast is clear and he is safe, that sticky shirt is coming up to wipe at his forehead.
Clover loves flowers. She's learned to broadly identify most flora native to the Capitol Wastes, and what is edible or dangerous. However she can't help but collect any blooming flowers she finds — they're too beautiful to leave somewhere so dead and cruel. She'll plant them in little boxes outside the Wanderer's home or vase them in a window with sunlight. Clover takes very gentle, meticulous care of her plants and makes an effort to always try to learn more about them. At least her time in Paradise Falls allowed many afternoons of reading.
Star Paladin Cross likes watching her brothers and companions sleep. It may be creepy from an outside perspective — and she will refrain if anyone voices discomfort — but knowing that those in her care or those that she holds dear are resting peacefully brings her great relief and peace of mind. Seeing the steady rise and fall of another's chest as they sleep is almost meditative to her and she will happily guard over them all night with minimal distractions.
Dogmeat can eat just about anything without getting sick. It doesn't matter if its meant for human consumption or is stuffed with bones. It will be gone. He can also open closed doors; even vault ones that require the use of a control panel. Nowhere is private from him. That sock will be his.
Fawkes loves reading books to anyone that will sit and listen to him. He has so much knowledge he wishes to share, so many theories and interpretations of literature works that he yearns to discuss with someone that cares. Fawkes adores Agatha's music too, and to him no evening is better spent than listening to 'Zigeunerweisen,' sat with a loved one and reading Charles Dickens or Virginia Woolf aloud — stopping every so often to comment on the text and ask the other for their opinion.
Gob is a tactile person; he would never shy away from Carol's hugs, makes sure to put kisses and cuddles in every letter he sent home, and would put a warm, gentle hand on Nova's shoulder after every rough shift to let her know he's there. Physical touch, be it aggressive or comforting is the best way to express emotion to Gob. He won't hesitate to bring those close to him in a quick embrace upon greeting and when leaving — and he will sit there for hours with loved ones that are upset, cuddling them, rubbing their back or sitting shoulder-to-shoulder as a grounding presence. If he was to fall in love, his partner can be certain he will run to greet them at the door upon their return like an excited puppy; they will be kissed and twirled around... and he will cackle like a love-drunk fool.
Gob is terrible at lying. He can't do it; he clams up, can't maintain eye contact, stutters — the lot. So every touch he gives, warm and loving, or cold and distant, he means wholeheartedly.
Jericho has a weak heart — both literally and figuratively. His age and health are catching up to him, and the toll of morality has started to kick in. He's trying (somewhat successfully) to quit smoking, hoping it'll ease his painful coughing fits, and increase his endurance. Not much boils his blood more than feeling useless... and having to stop and catch his breath so often really bothers him.
He also has quite the soft spot for the meek and helpless; especially if they're female or children. He can't bring himself to kill fleeing innocents anymore — and if the wounded find a stimpak being tossed into their lap — he will huff and roll his eyes, insistent it fell out of his bag.
Sergeant RL-3 will wake his companions up at sunrise like a giant metallic rooster. He will blare, he will not accept pillows being tossed at him or hiding faces away from the sunlight. He will rip blankets off and snip at heels until they get dressed and ready for the day. Tardiness will not be tolerated, soldier.
Even better if he has the ability to play the Reveille bugle call.
Assuming you'd be willing to: How does Butch react/act when realizing he might be crushing on the Male!Lone Wanderer? Either while they're both still in the vault or after the Lone Wanderer returns from the Wastes
Butch's Reaction to Crushing on a M!Lone

It pisses him off when he first starts to notice how he feels for you. I imagine he represses his romantic feelings for men like crazy and realizing that he’s slowly developing a crush on you, of all people, makes him want to punch a hole in the wall.
He’ll be even crueler to you now; spitting on you, jumping you in the Vault hallways, and threatening to carve his initials into your skin with his pocket knife. He hopes that it’ll force his desires away. Maybe if you hate him enough he’ll finally just let it go, but, to his dismay, it never happens.
It becomes obvious very quickly that something deeper within him is causing him to be like this. The other Tunnel Snakes will also start noticing how much he seems to like picking on you compared to anyone else in the Vault.
The day you leave is the day he shatters. Of course, you’re the one who has to leave. He’ll pretend to be happy about finally being rid of you, but deep down he’s worried you won’t make it. You’re smaller than him, weaker than him, and never had been one to fight back... how would you ever survive on the surface?
He can’t help the way his eyes light up when he spots you entering the Muddy Rudder. He doesn’t even bother hiding the smile that slowly tugs at his lips as he waves you over to the bar, praying you won't cringe at the sight of him and leave.
He’ll act as if you guys had been friends for years. He’ll toss his arm loosely around your shoulders and order you a drink, asking about your time in the wasteland. However, his friendly demeanor will shift once he sees how awkward you act around him.
He doesn’t bring up how he used to treat you - he doesn’t know if he can - but he’ll, at the very least, try to make an effort toward earning your trust.
He follows you whether you want him to or not. He may still be a tad naive about what exists in the wasteland, but he’s not naive enough to recognize the dangers. The last thing he wants is for you to die, especially if it happens before he can confess to you.
He’s gentler toward you now. Those few months after you’d set off to find your dad had killed him, and he wants to make an active effort to show how much he’s missed you and how much he wants to be around you.
He’ll slowly start to do things that boyfriends traditionally do. He’ll offer to carry some of your heavier items, open doors for you, and even pay for meals when you both find a settlement to eat out at.
He also becomes extremely protective over you. You can see the hatred and jealousy boiling in his eyes whenever he spots someone touching you or standing too close. It eats at him even more knowing he can’t say anything because you two aren’t officially together.
Some of his old habits still linger. Occasionally, he’ll grab your face to make you look at him or, stick his foot out and trip you while you walk. It’s just in his nature.
Although, he does try to make it up by offering to clean up your hair for you. Free of charge. Either because he’s noticed it’s been growing out or it’s gotten dirty during the days you’ve spent traveling. Besides, he likes being able to take care of you like this.
It kills him that he can’t seem to find it within himself to just tell you about how he’s feeling, or even just apologize for how he treated you while you both were in the Vault.
It’ll become more and more obvious that he’s interested in you, but he refuses to be the one to say it. You’ll have to make the first move in the relationship because his pride won’t let him be in love with another man. Especially, if there’s a chance he may be rejected.
I hate to do this to you but can we get some Ahzrukhal (fo3) Head cannons, he’s my least favorite ghoul and yet Im currently reading to the end of his Ao3 tag, which is my personal hell but I have mixed feelings about it
I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I didn't at least think about what it would be like the first time I walked into the Ninth Circle and sized him up. I'm also not gonna pretend like I haven't been in that AO3 tag. Some of this is fairly dark, but I feel like that just falls under "typical of canon".
Ahzrukhal (Fallout 3) Headcanons
SFW
Genuinely one of the slimiest, most underhanded people you'll ever meet. Not only will he fuck you over the second he needs to in order to benefit himself, he actively searches for opportunities to fuck over others. He's absurdly embittered by multiple lifetimes worth of mild slights and disappointments, a true whiny and entitled piece of shit. If he existed in the year 2024, he'd be a basement-dwelling incel.
He's definitely pre-war. There's no way this sniveling miser hasn't been around screwing people and being a rat with a loogie problem for quite a while now.
Charon was absolutely correct in killing him before the two of you leave. If he'd been allowed to live, he'd have sent someone after you to steal the contract, or kill you and bring Charon back to him. I suspect he's done this before, and that's why 1. he's so eager to offer to sell the contract to you, and 2. Charon is so quick to kill him when he has the chance. At least, I think that's part of the latter.
He's a bit fatter than the average ghoul, and I wonder if some ghouls have the ability to better retain body fat long term while others are prone to wasting away into skin and bones, as per the design of the ferals.

The "Uncle Ahzrukhal" thing is exactly what you think it would be. The man is big into ageplay and incest roleplay, usually combined. If you won't do the ageplay stuff, whatever, but he'll do whatever he needs to do to get you to do the incest stuff for him. He'll beg, he'll grovel, he'll pay you extra.
Speaking of which, he would definitley enjoy a sort of "antagonistic sugar daddy" dynamic if you were amenable to it (or desperate enough to need it). Knowing that you don't necessarily want to spend time with him makes him all the more eager to get you to do so, even if you act like you hate it the whole time.
Actually quite big into degredation, moreso receiving than giving, just with the huge caveat that there are (rather quite a few) things you just aren't allowed to say to him. Really, he mostly likes to be told how perverted he is, how gross his proclivities are, what a disgusting old man he is...but he wants you to tell him that pretty much exclusively while he's actively fucking you or eating you out. It's the idea that you really do find him that disgusting, and yet, for whatever reason (almost always because he has something over you or is paying you) you're giving him access to your body.
If he has you over a barrel enough, he won't hesitate to use you to settle his debts, or even full-on pimp you out if you piss him off enough. He doesn't like to share, but he wants to teach you a lesson more than he doesn't want to share his toys. The guys he gives you to might even make him seem a little better by comparison. Make you show a little more gratitude. Why would he have a problem with that?
Charon doesn't really have much of an opinion on the matter. If this is where you want to live, then this is where he'll follow you. Moira is always stopping by to ask if he could grab her something in a place that's just a bit too irradiated for her to do it herself, so he eventually refuses to answer the door for you. He'll gladly do anything else though, and he's not picky about the decor.
Clover doesn't mind, wherever you go, she'll go. She likes arranging things around the house and putting flowers in vases and whatnot. She does her best to keep the place as clean as possible and, although she covered him in graffiti, gets along decently well with Wadsworth. Moriarity will definitely try to manipulate her into some sort of contract so that he can have another "worker" alongside Nova, but other than having to keep an eye on her, she's easy to get along with.
Living in Megaton reminds Star Paladin Cross about when she escorted James here 19 years ago. It makes her feel slightly nostalgic being here again after all that time and seeing all the different changes that have been made. She doesn't mind how you decorate it and is happy with whatever as long as she's allowed to have a weapons workbench in one of the corners. She and Jericho might get into a few altercations from time to time, and she's always telling you about her gripes with Nathaniel, but she has enough manners and self-control to refrain from street fights. (more so for you're sake than hers).
Jericho is the trashiest roommate on this list, he doesn't even bother throwing things away. He'll just pile garbage into a corner until you decide you'll throw it out. The good news is, none of your neighbors are going to be trying anything with you since you're living with the town's local raider. Jericho also frequently gets into arguments with Wadsworth and eventually just locks him in a cage upstairs, so you can forget about having a butler helping you pick up all the junk he leaves around the place.
Butch will beg on bended knees for you to pay for the wasteland explorer theme for the house. Nothing would make him happier than having Moira wheel a motorcycle into the house. Overall, he's a decent roommate. He'll leave a mess in the living room and leaves his clothes everywhere, but other than the average frat boy shenanigans (expect there to be beer bottles everywhere), he's not so bad.
Besides him accidentally breaking things, Fawkes is probably the best to live with. He keeps the place relatively clean, keeps people out, and is just an overall joy to be around. He's sweet to all of your neighbors, even if they're open about not wanting him around. In all honesty, he's just happy to be out of that vault. He'd be happy anywhere and he especially loves having his own little nook for him to read and study. Soon enough you'll have a live-in doctor.
Every day, RL-3 will wake you up early so that you can begin your 5 a.m. workout routine. There is no resting when the possibility of communists lurking is high. He'll keep you and the other residents in line. Megaton will have a competent police force in no time, but the locals are gonna be upset with how demanding and loud he can get. Some (Jericho) might even try scrapping him for parts.
You'll get no complaints with Dogmeat. Everyone loves him and the kids that run around are always playing with him. Moira might try to train him to get her things, but other than that, you'll have no issues living with him.
Charon claims to not have any hobbies, saying that he "isn't focused on himself as much as he is his employer", but if you pay close enough attention, you'll catch the (somewhat) pleasant expression on his face while he cooks. He's always offering to fix something up for you and it always comes back perfectly made. The ghoul has a real talent when it comes to working over a fire and secretly loves sharing his expertise with your less experienced self.
Clover got really good at origami while enslaved. She used to sit in her cage and fold papers and leaves till they slowly began to form something tangible. It helped her stay calm in the times that mattered the most, and you'll notice her taking out slices of cloth and other bendable material and just folding them into wasteland creatures. She'll do it while waiting on you or in the middle of the night when she can't sleep. It helps keep her mind at bay while she tries to cope with everything she'd been put through.
After her accident, Star Paladin Cross took up journaling, deciding that she wanted herself and the rest of the Brotherhood to be remembered in an honoring and respectable light. She writes as honestly and unbiasedly as she can so that the people of the future can objectively tell what went down in the Capital Wasteland. She's incredibly consistent with it and is proud to be participating in the logging of the Brotherhood's history.
As surprising as it might be, Jericho has done a lot of reading throughout his retirement and will still crack a book open as the two of you start settling down for the night. He tries to play it off saying that "it's what all the other raiders are doing these days" and that he just wants to "keep up with the younger ones", but the slight glimmer in his eye when he reaches certain pages would make anyone question his reasoning.
Butch says that spending you're time decorating anything is a waste of time, however, every time he visits your home in Megaton, he's rearranging furniture and bringing in little trinkets that make the place feel so much more welcoming than it was before. He's got a knack for interior design, although he'd never admit that he enjoys it.
While trapped in the vault, Fawkes spent a lot of his time tinkering with the terminal in his cell. He learned a great deal about hacking while messing around with the device and is quite proud of his capabilities when it comes to fixing them! He'd be over the moon if you ever asked him to take a look at your own, it makes him feel valuable and important.
RL-3 is big on cleaning. If it isn't spotless, it might as well be torched. This habit of his most likely stems from General Atomics programming him to be self-cleaning so that he can take care of himself and keep himself up to policy standards. It's useful enough when it comes to messy areas, but you have to be careful if he deems it to far gone to be saved, he'll set it on fire.
Dogmeat loves when you hide things around your home in Megaton and ask for him to find it. It makes him so excited when he can sniff around and help you retrieve your lost rocket toys. It's like a game of hide-and-seek, and he adores every second you play it with him.
Can you do headcannons about Paladin Kodiak from Fallout 3 please ?🙏🏼😞
(Take your time , do not hurry💕)
Of course! Thank you for your request. I hope you like these!
During his time at the Pitt, the Brotherhood gave his family nicknames after different bears, because of their last name. He got the nickname Kodiak. His brothers were nicknamed Grizzly and Gobi.
Once he joined, it stuck around.
He prefers to be called Kodiak as it separates his identity from the Pitt and his present one.
During his time at Pitt he developed a really intense and aggressive persona, he mostly keeps it under wraps but it does appear time to time, especially in combat or when talking about the Enclave (see: 'There's meat under that armour, meat can be ground' line).
Mad respect for Elder Lyons and Sarah Lyons. Idolises the Elder.
Will always stop to help out wastelanders as a way to pay Elder Lyon's kindness forward.
He doesn't know what happened to his brothers after he joined the BOS. He was really disappointed that they weren't initiated.
Deep down he probably misses them quite a lot.
While in the wastes, he was stationed to help out a little settlement, which held a terminal with pretty important information. He managed to protect a small girl in particular against a super mutant. She later on named her Teddy Bear, Kodiak, after him. She took a photo of him and the bear.
Grief stricken after Sarah Lyon's death and the disbandment of the pride. Has grown increasingly frustrated with Arthur Maxson's leadership, especially regarding his lack of care or willingness to help the people of the Commonwealth.
So, instead of being killed, Charon severely injures Ahzrukhal and he ends up in the Chop Shop for a few months or so. This means being away from his bar. Can you do a reaction (hcs) for Ahzrukhal finding out his s/o had kept his business up and running while he was unable to do so? (They saved the caps for him, of course)
When Ahzrukhal first woke up in the Chop Shop, he was very confused about what had happened. The last thing he remembered was some fresh-faced Vaultie taking the contract for Charon off of him. Everything after that was… kind of a blur. He remembered a loud bang and people shouting, but nothing else.
Thankfully, Doctor Barrows was there to fill in the blanks: As soon as Charon had learned that he was no longer employed by Ahzrukhal, he had apparently taken it upon himself to give his thanks by shooting his former employer twice with his combat shotgun. No one was sure if his aim had been to kill Ahzrukhal rather than knock him unconscious as he had disappeared into the wastes with the Vaultie just moments later.
As bad as all this news was, Ahzrukhal found that it got worse. Due to the spread of the two shots, his wounds were rather extensive and almost life-ending. The only way Barrows could save him was to place him in a light coma for close to a month as his body healed itself naturally, much like Barrows had done with Rielly.
Ahzrukhal’s first thought after hearing all of this was about the Ninth Circle. Missing even one day of bringing in his caps was enough to put him in the red, so he could only imagine how long it would take to pull himself back into the black after weeks away.
Despite Doctor Barrows, and even Nurse Graves, insisting that he continue to rest up in the Chop Shop, Ahzrukhal decided to return to his bar. To his surprise, although he supposed it shouldn’t have been a surprise at all, he found his partner and lover hard at work behind the counter, taking orders and swinging drinks like a professional.
There was no telling how long Ahzrukhal stood watching them from the door, but it was long enough for him to see them collecting the caps before passing the glass and refusing to serve until the payment had been made. As the bar seemed rather busy, Ahzrukhal decided to sit back and watch as his partner did all the hard work for him, some of his worries about his business already assuaged.
Once things started to slow down, Ahzrukhal decided to approach. At first he was offended that his partner hadn’t recognized him right off the bat, instead instructing him to have a seat while they sorted out the caps heading into the till. Once they realized who he was, however, he was delighted to see the excitement replace the frustration in their face. He wasn’t ready to be touched however, so he simply grabbed their hands and gave them a kiss and asked if they had a moment to talk.
When he learned that his partner had decided not to stick by his side in the Chop Shop and instead continue to run the Ninth Circle while he was out of commission, he wanted to be angry but instead found himself falling even more in love with them than he had been before.
