Headcanons for Fallout Companions of your choice having an SO with a shit ton of piercings? Like, do they think they look stunning? Idiotic? Are they mildly amused by how serious SO is about keeping them clean? Who is most likely to want one themself? I dunno, Im on a kick, I just need my piercing fill dammit!

Okay *rolls up sleeves* here’s your NSFW warning now, mentions of steam down below!! Also you said of my choice so OBVIOUSLY THAT TRANSLATED TO ALMOST ALL OF THEM. I can’t leave people alone XD

Minor game spoilers??

Cait: At first, she’s reminded of the Raiders from the Combat Zone. I mean, when she meet’s Sole, she has no reason to think Sole isn’t just another breed of Raider. But they keep them clean and have a lot of pride in them? They’re really good at making sure they don’t get snagged or pulled? A romanced Cait is gonna playfully bite the piercings, especially if they’re in more sensitive areas. She’s gonna get kinky real quick.

Curie: Curiosity and hygiene are the first things that come to mind for her. She asks questions and grows more and more interested in body modification and the affects it has on the human body. She’ll ask Sole to help her pierce her ears at some point!! (idk my mental image is too cute)

Codsworth: He’s really more concerned about things getting infected than how they look. As long as Sole is keeping their piercings clean, he doesn’t mind. They’re sir/mum after all! He gets a little indignant if someone says something about it.

Danse: First impressions matter— he’s not impressed with Sole’s piercings at first. In fact, he’s tempted to add up the time Sole spends cleaning them to prove what a waste they are. Once Sole makes it clear that the piercings aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, he resigns himself to a handful of snippy comments every now and then. But, if you wiggle your way into his straight laced heart and romance him, he becomes incredibly interested in some well hidden piercings *eyebrow wiggle*

Deacon: He knows it’s not good for going undercover, but then again, Sole already made a name for him/herself, so that’s out of the question anyway. He’s constantly like “you know, I have a piercing” or “I’ve been thinking about getting my septum pierced, but how would I blow my nose?” It’s very likely that he’ll flick them as he walks by, especially if they’re dangly piercings.

MacCready: Like Cait, he’s more concerned that all that metal will get caught and be ripped out. He’s not opposed to it though, Sole is an adult and can make their own choices. There might be a ton of them, but they don’t look bad per se. If he’s romanced, he’ll admit that he loves Sole’s eyebrow piercing, but maybe that’s because he wants an excuse to stare at their face. (Let the trash baby kiss the piercings)

Nick: The old Nick kind of nags at the back of his mind, making him think Sole looks a little shady. But he kept his opinions to himself, after all, he’s been on the other end of that kind of judgment more than once, and they went through a lot of trouble to get him out of that Vault. He’s really glad he waited it out, because Sole has the capacity to be a wonderful person, and that’s what really matters.

Piper: She thinks it makes Sole look like they’re trying too hard. There’s a bit of judgment at first. During the course of her friendship with Sole, however, she kind of forgets that they’re there. But not before asking a ton of questions about them and worrying what sort of role model they’ll be for Nat. After traveling together, she feels stupid for worrying about it. Instant death glare at Sole when Nat asks to get her ears pierced.

Preston: Literally thought Sole was another Raider at first. But they cleared out Concord, they listened to his cry for help, they helped him when there was no clear incentive. He was humbled and ashamed that his gut reaction was to label Sole as an enemy before they proved otherwise. But can he really be blamed for that? If romanced, he’ll ask about them more and ask if he can help clean them. (try not to imagine Preston cleaning Sole’s piercings, and Sole shaving Preston’s face. It’s so domestic, I love it.)

Hancock: He doesn’t care. Okay, not it’s not that he doesn’t care at all but he’s not going to base his thoughts or feelings on anyone off that sort of thing. If Sole romances the raisin, he’ll see if there’s any special piercings/ any sort of sensitivity with them. His favorite are Sole’s back dimple piercings.

Gage: Yes. Good. The more the better. Sole has to get in good with the gangs and quick, this can only help. Not to mention it looks badass. Thinks it’s kind of silly when Sole cleans them with chemicals, like, that’s what hard liquor is for, boss. Is in love with Sole’s belly button piercing, but until Eye-Patch is romanced he will NEVER admit to it.

X6-88: No. Hard no. Oh hell no. What the fuck is that shit all over Sole? Why? What’s the purpose of it? It’s just going to get in the way. Sole’s just going to get hurt and he’ll be the one to deal with it. Ya’ll know this man, he’s going to say something about it at some point. Cue Sole sticking their tongue out at him. Okay, the tongue piercing is… something… nice?… it’s distracting… but heaven forbid that Sole asks him why, he’s not really sure himself.

i know i make fun of preston a lot but

he was one of the only responders to the situation in quincy.  he helped build their walls and kept a constant patrol, still believing in the good of the commonwealth even if the minutemen were diminished to a small group of people scattered across the countryside.  nobody responded to their backup calls because no one believed in his cause anymore and then he had to watch one of his own double-cross him

preston then tried his damn hardest to protect the remaining people of quincy the best he could, and he watched them be picked off one by one by raiders, and creatures, and whatever else was threatening someone’s life that day.  preston was so stubborn to give up hope even if it was depressing him.  he knew there was good somewhere out there.  but the days were going by and people were hungry and cold and he watched a couple’s son die 

preston and his small group of survivors were trapped in a building, surrounded by raiders, and hope was slipping through his fingers.  he thought that maybe, just maybe, he should accept the fate of the commonwealth because this was the new age where heroes were not welcome

then you come and you help them.  you don’t know any of these people - but they don’t shoot you when you walk through the door.  you just simply aid them, do what they ask, and you lead them to a safe place not far from concord.  you don’t have anything on your back but an obnoxiously blue jumpsuit that clashed with your awkward pieces of armor

preston watches you build a settlement, then aid another.  he calls you general because he knows you can lead people to a better future, one that he envisioned a long time ago

preston is one of the bravest characters in the game, for seeing the absolute worst in people and thinking “i’m not going to be like that”
