This probably isn't a new headcanon or anything but I gotta share my thoughts.
In my mind, the reason why there are two different hero weapons in the Sanctuary is because one was supposed to go to each of Sparrow's children. The hammer for Logan, the sword for the HoBW, the pistol for Logan, the rifle for the HoBW.
They're living weapons that change with their users. You can't tell me Sparrow — the master blacksmith — didn't create them on their own.
The Sanctuary was meant for BOTH royal siblings. Sparrow couldn't have imagined what Theresa was going to do, pitting them against each other like she did for the "gReAtEr GoOd."
I also can't imagine Sparrow would ever refer to Theresa as their guide after she used them for decades to get control of the Spire. If Sparrow had known, I think they would have warned Logan and the HoBW not to trust anything the blind seer says.
And maybe it's my own bias but I can't imagine Sparrow leaving everything magical to their secondborn child. There's no way in hell Sparrow could have known only one of their children would have overt Hero abilities. Sparrow only manifested their powers in their 20s so when they died, they fully could have thought Logan would be capable of using magic and accessing the Sanctuary.
(And I refuse to believe Logan got NOTHING from his heroic bloodline, he just can't use Will abilities)
I don't know. It just feels to me that the HoBW was given the things meant for Logan but that might be projecting the fact that Logan was my Sparrow's favorite child lmao
Like yes Albion needed a fully manifested Hero leading the fight but if/when destiny called on their children (aka Theresa being manipulative again) I can't see Sparrow expecting them to fight in any way other than together.
So they were each left a weapon and a wish from a parent who adores them both that when the hell comes knocking at their door they would face it together. Sparrow took every horror on alone. They would never wish that on their children.
tldr: I headcanon that Sparrow made the hero weapons themselves expecting both Logan and the Hero to work together and make use of them. They weren't able to because Theresa meddled and their children were manipulated the same way they were

looking back at ben finn’s backstory and all that, i’m totally convinced he must be a hero of skill. like idk him being proficient with guns from such a young age without any sort of training. it just kind of makes sense ?? and i know a big thing in fable 3 is like oh you’re the only hero alive but i just don’t buy it tbh. there must be other people who were born with the powers of heroes just out of nowhere. and ben finn really fits the bill honestly.
to me, he just screams ‘hero of skill’.
"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
no no you don’t get it, Maximus experienced comfort in vault 4 for the first time since he was a CHILD, simple comforts like a fluffy robe and a nice shower that he probably forgot felt like, but he was willing to give it all up and go to war the SECOND he thought lucy was in real danger………
Someone pointed out how Luke would always turn to Jace whenever he was anxious and Jace would lean in closer to reassure him and now I’m sad all over again.
I see no lies.
One of my favorite pastimes is imaging what Fallout would look like if it were based on the present instead of the 1950s. Here are some of my best ideas for this.
• Furry gangs. Lots of them. I haven’t fleshed this out any further because honestly? I don’t need to. Anyway you implement this into the Fallout universe will be perfect. You can’t change my mind on this.
• The Brotherhood of Steel are all weebes who think that Gundam is a historical archive. They saw pictures of the Gundam statues and thought they were real. They also worship Katy Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl Performance as they believe that video depicts a goddess descending to earth to bestow the Gundam with divine blessings.
• The Kings still exist. Nothing about them has changed. They exist in all universes and in all timelines.
• I think there would be more people cosplaying is revolutionary war figures, but I don’t think they’d be on the side of benevolently helping farmers. They’d be terrorists.
• The Tunnel Snakes would be based on the Grease cinematic works, adding Pink Ladies into their midst.
• Their would be a lot more fundamentalist cults. Like soooooo many cults.
• The Children of Atom would be “radiation truthers” convinced that radiation poisoning is a conspiracy cooked up by the shadow government to keep everyone docile.
• Goth gangs. Again, I don’t need to elaborate on this as one of the crucial flaws within the Fallout franchise is the lack of goth girls in fishnets.
I’ll add more as I remember them. Feel free to drop your own ideas below. The stupider, the better. Definitely don’t think about them, the ideas are better raw and unrefined.
HOBWs room at the begining of 3 is so funny to me because like... Logan had bestie in the fucking corner? Their room is realtively easy for the public to access, they're right above the kitchens and at until they beat Logan they have to go through said kitchen to enter the main part of the castle. Like excuse me?? Why can't they be in the house with everyone else???
