Ok, But I’ve Seen No One Talk About The Representation Of Bob’s Manic Episode As Sentry. Hear Me

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.

FALLOUT 4 SPOILERS IN AUDIO AND TRANSCRIPT

This scene is listed in Fallout4.esm as “BoSDanseHolotapeAltEnding ”:

“As the minutes tick by, and I stare at the walls of this godforsaken place, I’m still trying to cope with the reality that I am a living lie. My identity as Paladin Danse is nothing but a memory now. Everything I held dear, everything I’ve ever believed in, is completely gone. I’ve spent far too long wondering why this happened to me, but the truth is, it doesn’t matter. I’m a synth. Which means I am a freak of nature, a perversion of science, and an example of where mankind has gone wrong. For the benefit of humanity, I need to die. Not because I’m cowardly, or despondent, but because it’s the human thing to do. This is Danse, former Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel. Signing off.”

Okay, but.

Bob and Sentry accidentally switching places right in the process and John noticing it immediately without even seeing his face or irises of his eyes.

The way Bob's trembling soft moans are replaced by low grunts, the way the hand that was previously gently buried in his hair tightens to the point where it's almost too much. And then, of course, John will see how the sweetly scrunched eyebrows turned into a slight frown, how instead of an open mouth there is a clenched jaw, and how his eyes, previously full of immense love, were now filled with clear smugness and arrogance.

And John, feeling high from the fact that he's the reason they're switching uncontrollably like that, is barely able to hold back a smile.
