🖊 + I only know about Lucy, but id love to know /more/!

Lucy spent his early years in a blended family, pre-shortages, and while he drove the cook absolutely bonkers with his hijinks (and meltdowns, and weirdness, and taxidermy on rodents) and questions she did manage to teach him a lot about cooking, so his food tastes can get really interesting and he is quite good at figuring out how to make things from the post war local mutated plants and animals.

Between his turbulent upbringing and mental illnesses, and then later the war in Alaska he super ultra extra has zero belief in (any)god beyond himself.

While he was in foster care and as a young adult he was on the fringes of society socially because of all of his messed up youth, not helped that most people still knew who he was from tabloids, and it got pretty dicey after things were getting more heated up with the resources getting scarcer and anything not fitting into the norm being shoved back into the fold to fit in. Any efforts of outward counterculture were extra secretive - and he was still involved in that until he was all but forced into the military because he was able bodied 

his leeriness of organizations was made worse after his discharge after losing his leg, and it carried over to after waking up from vault 111. Idealism of the minutemen seems too good to be true. the Brotherhood is too much like what got his leg gone, the Institute is the reminints of MIT that had cradled too much of shaping his poor mental health anyway between the mess shortly after leaving his parents house, and the rehabilitation after Alaska and he doesnt trust them simply for that let alone the laundry list of anything else, the Railroad was the only choice, and then he took over Nuka World. Seemed fitting to be back home on his own terms anyway.

Alright, after never having the motivation or time to do so, I finally present some of Jay’s backstory!!! I’ll need to do a full character post on him (which I’ll link when I make it) and then this little story might make a lot more sense. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy! Feedback and comments are welcome :)

Inside the envelope was a four-leaf clover. Rico crushed the envelope in his left hand and barred his teeth at the object. Jay took a step forward and reached a nervous hand towards him. "R... Rico? Is everything alright?" His grip on the paper relaxed and he took a breath to steady his shaking body.  

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's fine." He turned around and smiled at the man in front of him. Jay glanced down at the clover, wide eyes and anxiety in his legs. He could barely keep himself up. If being in Blu Roze taught him one thing, it was that nobody was without enemies. It just so happened that Cloverr was one of those enemies.  

"What does that mean," Jay asked, flicking his gaze to the plant before locking eyes with Rico. Jay's knees were bent, his body lower to the ground than it should be. His question came as a whisper. Anyone could be listening.  

"It means," Rico said, bringing the clover closer to his face," that next time we have a run-in with Cloverr, we won't be so lucky." There was a hardness in his voice and in his eyes that made Jay shiver. He'd seen him like this a few times, usually just before he went out to deal with things as Rico would say. But those times were different. Those times, Rico was the threat looming over people's heads, a storm cloud hanging around the sky, deep grey and heavy. But this time... this time Rico had a look hidden behind his eyes that Jay couldn't place. He didn't want to accept fear as one of the possibilities that crossed his mind, but the way his eyes stared at the object in his hand and the way his Adam's apple bobbed in a silent gulp told him to accept it. Jay closed his hand around the one that held the little plant and brought Rico's face up to meet his eyes.  

"Hey," he whispered, "it's going to be okay. We'll get through this, just like we always do. Jasmine and Jax and Silver- they got your back. They'll help you fight this. Nothing will uproot us."

A smile ghosted over Rico's lips at the use of his pep-talk line. He took in a slow breath and let it out even slower, nodding. "Yeah," he said, using the rest of his air. His brows furrowed in thought for a moment before and nodded again, faster this time. "Yeah, okay."  

He rested his forehead against Jay's and closed his eyes, breathing him in. They found it fascinating how they were both able to calm down just by the smell of the other. Jay brought his arms around Rico's waist and pulled him into a hug, letting him bury his face in the crook of his neck. It was nice to be the one doing the comforting for a change. Being in Blu Roze was never easy and never would be, but having anxiety wouldn't make it any easier. Jay's fingers ran over Rico's back slowly and suddenly they found themselves at the dips of the Mark of the Blu Roze right between his shoulder blades. Rico's own fingers ran across Jay's lower back, mirroring his movements across the brand. Something inside of Jay told him to push Rico away and start running, that danger was coming sooner than he thought.

Another drawing of Jay! This one looks a little different than what I normally do, but I’m proud of it :D -Alice

I attempted some shading and I like how it turned out, but I’m not sure about the eye. I need to work on those. This was  a birthday gift for one of my friends but i dont have the courage to give it to him... I’m not that confidant in my art, if you can even call it that haha...anyway, feel free to give feedback and advice! -Alice

[theredalice]

more of Alice lol. This was more of a vent drawing bc im mad at someone I like, hence the crossed out “darling” I tried to play around with shading and I dont think I did that well. I also have no clue how to draw breasts so thats why there’s so much shade (like the shade I throw at my crush haaaa suck it)

Im pissed and my head hurts but overall Im happy with this!

Feel free to send feedback! -Alice
