i'm black & i'm proud. this is my inspiration and doodle blog. my interests are black vernacular photography, video games, old films, pinup + vintage things, my ocs, and black womanhood. i unfollow back. i block back, too.
i was tagged by my buds @couriers-mile and @datura-tea so i may do this twice. it was about time for a new wilma picture + bio anyway! thanks guys <3
fandom (or og story): wilma is my sole survivor for fallout 4! she is a boston blueblood descended from pre-war, pre-divergence north east freedmen. a former debutante and army nurse, wilma holds the title of minutemen general and friend of the railroad.
years after she and preston get married and start a family, she hangs up the general's uniform to become a midwife, helping deliver babies all over a now safe and thriving commonwealth ❤️
full name: wilma audrey wilcott (neé lange)
gender: female
pronouns: she/her
age: 27
species: human
race/ethnicity/class: black american with a multiracial mixed father. the langes were upper-middle class due to their involvement in local politics.
describe them physically: wilma is 5’6” with a solid, shapely build. her hair is a mix of 3C/4A texture, and styled in a half-up pompdour with pinned locks free falling over her shoulders. she has greenish hazel siren eyes and dimples on her cheeks.
describe how they dress: wilma usually wears the general’s uniform when they’re doing minutemen work: talking to prospective settlements, meetings at the castle, etc. if she’s working hard gardening or building something, she’ll wear a breezy playsuit or overalls she can get dirty in (if it’s warm) or her vault suit, with or without the top unzipped and sleeves tied at the waist.
in her off hours, she is an absolute sweater girl (and probably modeled as one briefly pre-war) she likes dainty tops that tie at the collar or waist and cigarette pants/jeans. likes when preston takes her out because she can wear a dress ❤️
favorite things: yao guai roast served with fresh baked razorgrain bread, desk fans, black coffee, her railway rifle, watching the sun come up, purified water, diamond city radio, and preston’s hat
least favorite things: radstorms, super mutants, food that’s too irradiated to consume, feral ghouls, her old home in sanctuary
hobbies: sewing, experimenting with recipes, sketching/journaling, building things, hunting for pre-war tchotchkes and treasures
quirks: sings/hums old hymns from her childhood, writes down EVERYTHING in her traveling notebook, always checks her hair/clothes when passing a reflective surface
what's up in the romance department (and if they're aro, are they in a queerplatonic relationship): wilma is with preston garvey! he is one of her earliest companions and as such, he has been present for a lot of her post-vault escapades. there’s camaraderie and mirth, even platonically, but garvey’s feelings blossom fast for his commanding officer.. and wilma falls too. they are comrades in arms who are devoted to the cause and to each other.
preston admires her knowledge, tenacity, and grit, but there is a certain softness to her that is not of this world and it makes him want to protect her. he’s taken by the way she carries herself and her little sentimentalities he’s picked up on while they traveled together.
they end up getting married a few months post-game and have 4 children altogether: shaun wilcott-garvey, and leon, ellen, and alma garvey.
best qualities: charming and charismatic, cares about others’ wellbeing, holds herself accountable, intuitive, has a big heart full of courage, resilient
worst flaws: a know-it-all, can be arrogant and judgemental, vengeful, snarky when she’s in a bad mood, a little vain
would you say they're a good person: yes
fears/phobias: losing preston or any of her children, deathclaws
tell us in a few lines how you got the idea for them/how they came to be: wilma is an amalgamation of one of my earlier couriers from 2014 and the first sole survivor i ever made who actually looked a lot more like georgia in 2017! i remade wilma about 7 years ago and took the name from an oc that would eventually become yvette, my institute scientist.
given that american history is such a big theme in the game, especially the setting, i really wanted to incorporate wilma's very deep roots as a black bostinian and how the history of her family would inform her background and decisions as a railroad-aligned general.
if you feel like it, add some sketches, drawings or pictures of your OC or anything that relates to them:
her pinterest board, her character tag, preston and wilma's playlist. plenty of art of her in my art and WIP tags. thanks if you read it all!

10AM on a thursday and i need some tommybird….3, 4, and 11 for the NSFW questions😈
sfw/nsfw ask meme
a bit graphic so it's behind a readmore!
3. Any kinks they clash on?
none, they are very in sync and match each other's freak quite well! the closest i can think of is that ladybird is a huge tease and tommy can get pouty if she's really making him work hard for it LMAO
4. Oddest place they’d have sex?
by or in the tops pool, probably several times too 😭 usually either in a cabana or straight up on one of the chairs when no one else is outside. they never get caught but there's been some close calls!
11. Favourite romantic gestures during sex/orgasm?
ok... lol... this will be kinda graphic sorryyyy but: its about the cum 🤌🏾
either consciously or subconsciously, tommy really has a thing about finishing inside her, on her body, in her mouth, etc. as a way of 'claiming' her. tommy really doesn't give ladybird a hard time about the work she has to do and how much it keeps her away from the strip, but he misses her a ton when she's gone.
it's something ladybird picks up on after a few times and she likes it lol! whatever makes him feel secure.
1 and 2 NSFW for Preston and Wilma AND Yvette and Clayton? 👀
sfw/nsfw ask meme
1. How often do they have sex, if at all?
preston and wilma: if it's mid-game, not as often as they'd like, mostly because they're not always traveling together :( wilma is definitely jumping that man the first chance she gets him alone though. post-game, it's a few times a week.
yvette and clayton: a LOTTTT, like a lot, especially once they start trying for a baby. unfortunately phase 3 has them busy and working long hours in their respective departments, so they try to shoot for a quickie before their shifts with hopefully a little more time for a little romance when they get home.
2. Who brings ideas? Who initiates?
preston and wilma: definitely wilma for ideas. preston is not all that particular, it's really just about being close to her for him. as long as it isn't anything crazy or harmful, wilma can pretty much get him to do whatever lol. preston tends to initiate more.
yvette and clayton: my dweeby scientists are the most vanilla couple i have LOL so tbh there's not many ideas to bring! that being said, yvette is usually the one to initiate but it really is about even.
How would Wilma do if she was in a New Vegas setting instead of Fallout 4!
OOOOOOH
post-apocalyptic or not, the desert is pretty unforgiving but… the commonwealth in its current state seems a lot worse off. so i actually think wilma would do pretty well in the west!
she would probably be an NCR aligned courier... i think her favorite companions would be arcade, veronica, and boone.
since she wouldn’t be with preston bc he’s on the other side of the country, i could see shipping her with someone like james hsu (who i actually had a courier with once upon a time lol..)
do you think wilma and preston's children are able to have good childhoods with how the wasteland is? :o
oh absolutely! it’s partially why preston and wilma work so hard and really push themselves to the limit to make the commonwealth a safer place: before they even get married, they know they want to have children, but the wasteland needs to be cleaned up and the MM need to become a real fighting force again first
(of course.. everything is in relation, right? while the institute has been handled and was the reason for a lot of setbacks in the commonwealth, even post-institute children still grow up in an irridiated wasteland with threats of super mutants and raiders and the like. whereas tommybird’s daughters probably have THE best childhood bc they are safe behind the vegas walls and their parents are rich lol)
all that to say, while no one is ever truly safe in this world, wilma and preston worked damn hard to ensure the kids they do have are protected and never want for anything. there is a concrete wall around taffington boathouse where they live and two guards always on duty and patrols go by every day to and from starlight drive-in so they are very safe at home. preston and wilma build them a playground in front of the house ❤️
also idk… not to be mean but i’ve only seen the most extremely online people who never touch grass refer to themselves as fandom leaders or it’s a title thats slapped on someone who may get a lot of notes on their work but doesn’t actually see themselves as one, they just like posting
and i guess it’s all just really silly to me bc it almost always ends with callout posts and internet slapfights like 😭 it’s not exactly a title that holds honor. i just want to post my ocs kissing idgaf about nothing else
I hope this isn't weird to ask but do you consider yourself a fandom leader? I ask because I think your work is amazing and it's great reading your opinions, even for media I'm not a fan of, personally.
hey pal!! thanks so much for liking my work but OOF!! i do not consider myself a fandom leader, nor do i ever want to be 😭 to be quite frank with you: i don’t think a lot of people in my main fandom even fuck w me like that forreal.
i got a lot of nasty racist anon hate once i started posting a lot more last year and with f@ll0ut being absolutely huge and the most anti-black fandom ive been a part of… i can only put two and two together atp 🤷🏾♀️ i also don’t really draw popular characters either or focus on male characters outside of their relationship to my ocs (who are the real stars of my show) which probably doesn’t help lol
however, i’ve carved out a little space for myself and i have a nice group of friends, mutuals, and lovely followers (like you!) which is just the greatest. i truly appreciate all the likes, reblogs, and kind words, really means the world to me more than being any kind of leader ever would! mwah 💋❤️
Black users! Have you ever experienced or witnessed antiblackness on this app?
Yes
No actually!
I'm not Black (yes you can press)
Remaining time: 2 days 14 hours
By witnessing, I mean you saw someone else Black getting mistreated. Experiencing also doesn't have to be direct mistreatment of you, it can be scrolling and seeing whitewashing, misused AAVE, anything that you saw and did The Sigh™ to.
I hope this doesn't come off weird or creepy but I just wanted to say you're a big artistic inspiration to me! Your art has this Soft And Textured look that I just adore, and your command of shape and movement is just beautiful! Every time I see something you've drawn it just makes my whole day <3 and I hope YOU 🫵 have a great day too :D
not creepy at all! honestly i’ve been feeling pretty up and down about my art this year so it always warms me when people say things like this. i really am so shocked to be an inspiration to anybody tbqh 🥺
this is so kind of you anon, thanks for making my day so much better! 🩷
