health update: i am doing a lot better. still in recovery, but definitely fairing a LOT better than i did when i had c.ovid back in 2020. probably helps that i went to my regular doctor and he was quick about getting me on antibiotics and even gave me an extra round of backup meds in case the first round didn't knock it out completely. i'm not going to be around really today except on di.scord, but i'll make an attempt at some sort of comeback tomorrow. i'm still very easily tired.

[vaultadrift]

i cannot win. i woke up super sick this morning and wound up having to go to the er just to get diagnosed with covid. i am not having a good time rn. >.> no b.eetlejuice 2 for me and now i'm anxious and paranoid af bc the last time i had covid, i wound up in the hospital. everything hurts and i am not a happy camper. best place to find me while i suffer is discor.d: childlikerage.

[vaultadrift]

i redid my rules. please read them! also, the full fc dni isn't up yet. i'll do that when my head isn't bothering me.

a few quick notes on a safe place to fall ( sam's f.o4 verse / default verse ):

the canons / npcs that will be heavily mentioned and that run businesses / work in the settlement are moira, butch, gob, fawkes, charon, and princess ( now called abigail ). moira runs the general store / is in charge of trading, butch is one of main security guards, gob owns the bar, and princess / abigail runs a tailoring / clothing store. fawkes helps sam maintain the power generators and water purifiers and charon is essentially sam's bodyguard / right hand man.

sam took the role of mayor / settlement leader after a combination of leading the caravan there and spearheading / organizing the efforts of cleaning up and rebuilding the abandoned town into someplace livable. she didn't want the role at first, but after a vote was held and pretty much everyone voted in favor of her taking the role, she pretty much had no choice. she keeps saying that she'll give up the role once someone better comes along, but no one better has come along.

she is more than willing to work with the minutemen and the railroad, but the institute and the bos can kiss her ass. the bos especially. maxson knows better than to step foot inside of hope wells and his men will learn very quick that the bos is not welcome. they even have a sign saying that ghouls are welcome, but the bos is not.

it's well known that ghoul bigotry is not allowed in hope wells. people who are actively hostile towards the resident ghouls are very quickly shown the gate.

chem addicts are welcome to an extent. as long as they keep their chems away from children and do not openly sell their wares to those are not currently addicts, they're fine. anyone who tries to sell to children or to anyone who does not seek them out gets in trouble with security.

the original group of dc settlers who settled / created hope wells ( including sam and the named canons / npcs ) numbered about 25 people ( 2285 ). around the year 2288, they hit around 70 people and are continuing to grow.

please note that these are rough notes / hcs meant to set the stage. i feel comfy using these canons since no one really plays them and if anyone actually comes across my path who does play them, then things can be discussed / situated to fit both of our comforts.

i'm still around. i've just been very sick bc of a sinus infection and then dealing with a very low mental state, but i'm clawing my way back. i'll be back here soon, i promise. along with some other blogs and things that i'm working on.

REASONS TO CUP A FACE. ( A PROMPT LIST. )

with the help of some very talented and amazing friends, i present to you an unexpected, very spontaneous meme list based on the beautiful art of cupping someone's face! there's a mix of romantic and platonic here, and even a few that defy the boundaries of normal relationship dynamics! i hope you enjoy! as always; DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST NOR CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN!

[KISS]: sender cups the receivers face in their hands before drawing them closer for a kiss.

[CHECK]: after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.

[CLEAN]: sender affectionately wipes a smudge of sauce from the corner of the receiver's mouth, cupping their face in the process.

[LIFT]: sender gently cups the receiver's face and lifts their chin so the receiver is looking up at them.

[COMFORT]: sender cups a distressed receiver's face in their hands and steadies them by resting their foreheads together.

[ATTENTION]: during an important conversation, the sender takes the receiver's face in their hands and firmly directs their focus on them.

[MAKE-UP]: while applying make-up on the receiver's face, the sender cups their face in order to keep them still.

[PRIDE]: after the receiver succeeds in a remarkable achievement, the sender cups their face and tilts their foreheads together to express how proud they are of them.

[WHISPER]: in order to have a private, hushed conversation with the receiver, the sender cups their face and draws them close to make sure they can be heard.

[HAIR]: in the process of pushing the receiver's hair back from their face, the sender lets their hand rest against the receiver's cheek a moment longer.

[GROUND]: during a moment of intense emotional stress, the sender gently takes the receiver's face in their hands to ground them until they're calmer again.

[WONDER]: unable to comprehend how incredible the receiver is, the sender decides to simply cup their face in their hands and marvel at them instead.

[LAST LOOK]: before going into a situation that may result in their death, the sender takes a moment to cup the unaware receiver's face in their hand, just to take a final look of admiration at them before they go.

[SACRIFICE]: the sender cups the receiver's face tenderly to distract them, right before shoving them out of the way (to safety) and facing an attack alone in order to buy the receiver enough time to escape.

[BELIEF]: in a moment where the receiver is lacking in self-confidence, the sender cups their face tenderly and professes their faith in the receiver's abilities.

[DISBELIEF]: after the receiver has done something completely unexpected (and reckless) the stunned sender cups their face in their hands while trying to get them to explain why the hell they did it.

[BETRAYAL]: trying to keep the receiver calm before the big reveal, the sender cups their face gently to keep them steady, and then reveals that they're the villain.

[WOUND]: after the receiver has been wounded, the sender tries to keep them calm and conscious by cupping their face in their hands and talking to them to keep them focused.

[INJURY]: after having been badly wounded themselves, the sender tries to reassure the frantic receiver by cupping their face and comforting them.

[RAMSAY]: after the receiver commits a culinary crime, the sender presses two slices of bread against either side of their face, cupping their face to hold the bread in place, and calls them an idiot sandwich.

[vaultadrift]

possible character idea that's based off of an older character of mine from years and years ago: enclave scientist who was born and raised in the enclave, but is miserable and doesn't really fit in despite being one of the top minds due to actually having a heart. wants to escape but knows it's damn near impossible. parents were essentially enclave royalty with her dad being the top dog before autumn ( killed on a mission. supposedly ) and mom being the top scientist.
