You point, I shoot.
brainrotting per usual but deacon’s last affinity dialogue in fo4 is my favorite in the entire game
if you accuse him of lying about his late synth wife and the bigot gang he was a part of he snaps and gets short with you, and the conversation is over. this is one of the only times he does this and his tone about it is weird
the entire game he has shown himself off to be a massive liar, so naturally you have a hard time trusting the shit he says, even he says himself to not trust everyone. but when he finally starts to open up after traveling, if you don’t believe him he’s like “i fucking knew it, forget it,” and he’s not snapping at the player here, rather himself because he knows he’s not trustworthy. he will always be seen as the liar no one can trust, and he’s lost sight of who he actually is completely.
i also love when you switch him out for mac and mac essentially calls him out for running away from himself, “still pretending to be someone you’re not?” I feel like people constantly see deacon as a one dimensional character cause “oh he’s the liar secret railroad agent” but he’s so much more than that
I have a special talent that turns company time into art of my wife
If I was in Fallout 4 and I saw Nick Valentine I'd say some stupid shit like "Omg just like Five Night's at Freddy's" when talking about Synths and then lose all my affinity with him immediately
yk what fuck it fallout 4 gender headcanons bc fite me >:p
Cait: Cisgender she/her girlboss. Total ally tho bc she’s not a monster
Codsworth: Robot, has no concept of gender, he/it for convenience sake
Curie: Pre-synth, no concept of gender, as a synth feels comfortable as a demigirl, probably uses she/they/it but is open to explore pronouns in the name of science
Danse: If anyone’s transphobic he’s the most likely before blind betrayal, but afterwards he has a crisis and finds out people are swag, he/him
Deacon: Hooo boy, we love this silly dude. Genderfluid, whatever gender sells the disguise better, any pronouns (bro doesn’t care at all)
Dogmeat: no gender only dog
Hancock: totally not projecting trans dude, he/him (srsly look at him and tell me he’s cisgender)
MacCready: Silly rat bastard man (affectionate), cisgender he/they swag
Nick: Isn’t attached to any gender in particular, just says he’s male for convenience sake, he/him
Piper: yk she had an identity crisis in her teens but realised she was just a lesbian all along, cis she/her (totally alright to explore your identity btw just in case y’all forgot)
Preston: The most awkward cis ally you’ll ever meet, definitely the type to apologise profusely and beg to like die or smth for using the wrong pronouns once, he/him pronouns but doesn’t think about it much
Strong: fuckin………. super mutant???? doesn’t know about gender identities and doesn’t care, they/he
X6-88: “that’s unimportant right now, ma’am/sir” nobody actually knows… not even X6. any pronouns???? (be careful experimenting with pronouns when talking to them, you might get shot)
Things that are important to me: loud, arrogant, opinionated, brash, self-assured John Walker, who has no idea how to deal with his newly found queerness and feels like the entire thing is a big cosmic joke on him vs kind, quiet, soft spoken, shy Bob who’s completely and utterly secured in his sexuality.
