Is this blog still active? I only just got an Xbone/FO4 & I’ve been writing so much Mac fanfic. I can’t get over the idea of PTSD!Mac (I don’t project onto fictional characters, what are you talking about) so, an imagine based on a thing I’m writing: Mac freezing up while fighting ferals bc flashbacks; Mac having night terrors; Mac being hypervigilant af; Mac being embarrassed & annoyed at himself bc he doesn’t get that his symptoms ARE symptoms, he just thinks he’s weak. (I’m the worst I know.)

Yes this blog is still running! Sorry for the radio silence over here, I’ve been very busy ! My mother has been sick for the better part of the break, so I’ve been taking care of her, and focusing on school, while putting this blog on the back burner. So sorry about that! Hopefully, now that things have settled down, I’ll be back to updating much more often.

Ah yes *cracks knuckles* fresh imagine material!! Don’t worry, you aren’t the worst lol. I believe that most people in the wastes have PTSD, but because of their lack on knowledge and research,there is no way method of counseling. I’ll try to draft something up this weekend! Thank you for the suggestion

MACCREADY VS DEACON: DAD JOKES

Mac and Deacon try to out dad each other all the time. It’s so bad when they’re together that a few settlements have banned them from visiting at the same time. When the pair come around all hell breaks loose. Fathers ball their fists in anger, Mothers hold their babies close to them.The children, oh the children. How they weep in anguish.There is no escape from the dad jokes.There will never be relief. Eternal suffering is their fate.

DEAR LORD THIS WAS SENT OVER A YEAR AGO??? WHAT??? HAPPENED??TO???NOTIFICATIONS???

/// MacCready is a brooding young man. With Lucy gone, and the Gunners constantly keeping tabs on him, he had no one to turn to. He was living for Duncan. Maccready has a chip on his soldier; His anxiety is incredibly valid .

I always imagined that after fallout 4 he and my Sole would either move to the Capital Wasteland (Maccready has a farm, if what Daisy said is true) or grab Duncan and move to the Commonwealth (The capital has harsher environmental living conditions; More Super Mutants, much harsher lack of water, etc)

I like the idea of Sole and MacCready taking Duncan and Shaun up to the Capital, for “mini vacations”. Just to check up on old friends and maybe start recruiting a few rag tag kids along the way. I imagine Mac trying to manage his little family while, simultaneously, keeping a bustling sole survivor at bay. Oh the adventure! 

I think Sole has it, pretty much made in the Commonwealth,so I can see Sanctuary hills as a permanent retiring place for the family. Surrounded by friends, family, and like 5 dogs. But before then…I see Sole traveling all across the nuclear wasteland. I see more adventures, more friendships, MORE MEMORIES TO BE MADE.  

The Sole survivor has 200 years to make up for.  I doubt their family is going to slow them down much. Not when they’re right along side them!

Okay but like one of my favorite lines of Mac's is when you step on a landmine and take damage—my first run through it happened all the time, I'm too blind to see them—I did it often enough to get a line where he says, in a chuckly voice, "Did you have to do that?" And I died. Like.. my son, my soul, so pure. It was cute is what I'm saying.

I liked the depth the FO4 gives during some of MacCready’s dialogue lines. It feels like he’s really talking to you instead of AT you. I enjoy him as a companion because he feels authentic, genuine even. All the companions have their own established beliefs and complaints with the commonwealth during your arrival. While some strive towards change and re-establishment, others are much more content in hanging back and living the easy life. I feel like MacCready is somewhere in the middle of all that. Once established as one of my main companions I felt the need to take him everywhere.To take him to places he’d never seen. To hear his opinion about my decisions.Whether large or minuscule. I was glad to see him gradually change from being a standoffish jerk to a lovable goofball. When he jokes that he thought you forgot about him I felt a pang of empathy. It felt real.HE felt real. I never have the heart to leave him behind during most missions.

When Mac (& cheese lol) complains about me picking shit up, I honestly just feel "Honey I love you but kindly shut the fuck up" as an emotion. Like... hun.. I need this.. for your whiney ass. Still love ya tho.

And I bet he ends up finding really useful things in your inventory too. Rifle jammed? Got ya covered. Need a wrench? Here,no problem. How about a snack? Ring a ding ding! it’s all yours for the picking.

The Sole Survivor wears the pants in the relationship ;)).

Imagine Maccready sneaking Sole’s fancy lad cakes into his own inventory.
