Day thirty (holy shit) of @falloutober

WE ARE ALMOST DONE GANG OMFG…

Anyways as always characters drawn as cat but written as humans

Story warnings: mentions of death

Gone. That's what I must be to you. I think about that often, despite my efforts. The world still reminds me, my back still hurts. I wished I could at least say goodbye, at least tell you why I was gone, why I can't come back. But I can’t. Now I can’t even try. I hope you’re safe, Bill. Despite my moving on, I still look in the mirror, and I still confess… I still love you.

You are safe, I hope, I hope that Edward spoke the truth, I hope he changed, shifted that focus. But… I doubt it. He’s probably out there causing more harm. Killing more people, even children… his operation has probably grown. That fact makes me sick, I wish I could go back, I wish I could fix it. But I can’t. I have responsibilities here.

How I met Catherine still seems like a blur, with many, many details filling up the film, the snapshots of memory that swirl in my head. I can remember it, but no way I can properly describe it. You’d never believe me anyways. She was beautiful, but it took me a while to move on, accept that I’ll never see you again, never feel your comfort. But I’m across an entire wasteland, a deadly, rotting wasteland. And so I’ll never see you again. And that’s okay.

I loved her like I loved you. I still love you. Together we started a project, her project, Project Purity. Together we were making the world better. Us and our teams, we got so far, but not close. Not enough. Especially when it all slowed, because Catherine was pregnant, pregnant with my daughter. I was so excited to be a father; she was excited to be a mother. But she never will be. Because she died upon her birth. And so I have another person’s death on my hands.

I know you’d love her anyways, my daughter. She’s so sweet, so small. I love her with a love I’ve never felt. I know this world is dangerous, I know this world isn’t safe. She’s so small, so helpless, isn’t ready for the world. Which is why I do this, which is why I live in a Vault, Vault 101. We’ll be safe, she’ll be safe.

I try not to think about you, about either of you.

But my back still hurts.

And the verse Catherine loved circled in my head, telling me it isn’t over.

It makes me wonder if this is right, the Vault, the Capital… if I’m making the right decisions. But I can’t take her with me, when she’s not even a week old, across the unknowing wasteland. I know there is someone like me with you, another man of faith. But faith doesn’t dictate whether you are good or evil. Doesn’t stop you from bad decisions, going down a dark path, like I knew he was, even if I can’t remember his name.

I know what faith is meant to be: hope.

And when I look to my daughter, that’s what I feel.

So I will tell her as much as I can, about me, about my life. Teach her as many lessons as I could. But she’ll never know you, about who we were together. About what it’s like to love like that twice. About the pain of losing someone suddenly. But she’ll know about her mother, about her smile, about her personality, and her favorite passage:

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life, freely.”

I repeat that, at least once a day. To myself. It stings, but it reminds me of her. It certainly doesn’t hurt as much as the pain in my back. The pain I must ignore. The pain I must work through. Worth through for her.

Rok found his dad!

Rok lost his dad!

Random but I love following James from Vault 112 because of the special dialogue he says.

“Don’t you think you could harm my child!”

“Just like shooting that BB gun.”

I wish he lasted longer and I wish we could tell Amata what happened.

I'm just. The Lone Wanderer as a whole is just so sad. They weren't even passed their teens when they were shoved out into a completely different environment with nothing except confusion and a crappy 10mm. And that's after finding out their little utopia wasn't so great and seeing their close friend aka adopted brother Jonas' corpse and having to leave their only friend. Then they're dragged into a hundred different directions to help this horrid wasteland when all they want is to find their father again.

They go through hell and back and then they find a tiny glimmer of hope when they do find him again. They're back together and completing something that will be good for everyone. Something that their mother wanted. And then even that is cruelly ripped away what would hardly be a few weeks if even in game when the Enclave come and kill their father. And right after that, they get a signal from their old home. They can go back!!! NOPE!!!!!!?;+;(?; they are once again made to solve someone else's problem. Then are promptly kicked out by the girl that they once called their only friend. Back to the wastes

Even after blowing up a military base and once again eluding death, they still have a final meeting with it at the purifier. But at that point God refuses to let them die because apparently watching him suffer is amusing. So they once again help out before fading into obscurity.

While all this happens, the radio station won't stop drawing attention to them and mercs are always targeting them for one reason or another. And they have to go through a vault that makes them relive their trauma thanks to hallucinogenics. And then MORE hallucinations against their will that is just one giant depressive episode!!! Fun!!!

And at the end of it. After sacrificing time and pain and money. How many people can they truly call friend? How many people would help them out the same way they did? Not enough. Not nearly. Lone Wanderer indeed.

But at least they have a loyal dog

“The past is the past, gotta keep moving forward.”

“But what if it still hurts?”

The locket that brings back all her memories, but at the cost of happiness 😔

I've started Fallout late asf ofc and I just recently started playing the 3rd one. My life’s a joke at this point. We should’ve had more time with James, aka The Lone Wanderer's father. Now I'm sad. He was such an OG. :(
