Maccready and Duncan hang out

I saw someone suggest the idea that the Ushers all represent a deadly sin - here is which I think they are and why

Prospero - Lust

Camille - wrath

Leo - gluttony

Vic - sloth

Tamerlane - pride

Fred - envy

The Twins (Roderick and Madeline) - greed

Prospero is Lust, not only because of his hedonism but his unabashed Lust for power - he is filming his anonymous orgy so he can blackmail powerful people and dies in the midst of his orgy - but I could also see him as sloth (wouldn’t come up with a proper business proposal, didn’t bother to check that the tanks held water not acid)

Camille is Wrath, she approaches everything - her siblings, her job, her assistants/lovers and verna in the end with rage - and she gets killed by an angry animal

Leo is Gluttony - he indulges himself in abundant drugs and abundant sexual partners, despite having a relatively good situation - he has a successful career that doesn’t put him directly under his fathers control, he has a committed caring partner but still he gluts himself on everything that comes his way, he dies chasing a cat that hunts far more than it needs too

Victorine is Sloth - she doesn’t want to put in the work needed too make her device work, she just takes shortcuts to make it seem like it is working, she kills her partner in part because her partner who is actually the skilled surgeon doesn’t want to do the work anymore (admittedly this one I’m not as sure on - she might be pride, refusing to admit her device doesn’t work out of fear of failure)

Tamerlane is Pride - Of all her siblings she is the most proud of being an usher, and the most obsessed with her own image, obsessed with beauty, obsessed with being a success, she will not take anyone’s advice not even her husbands, she is proud and controlling in her relationship forcing her husband to go along with her voyeuristic kink when he doesn’t want too. This is a double-edged sword as she is also deeply insecure, outsourcing intimacy and dying as a result of smashing mirrors attempting to prevent Verna taking her place (alternatively she could be envy - envious of Verna etc.)

Fred is Envy - he is envious of his father and his effortless command presence and his fathers success, and he is envious of his wife, punishing her horrifically purely because he believes she cheated on him, (even though she didn’t, all she did was think about it and go to a party where she was alone) he is so envious that he even makes an attempted coup against his father. (He could also be gluttony - his drugs, and dying because putting more and more nightshade in his coke)

Finally the Twins - Roderick and Madeline are Greed - They set everything in motion because they both always wanted more, more money, more recognition, more power, even immortality - through AI in Madeline’s case and in the creation of a bloodline legacy in Roderick’s

I also have one thing to add I think that Lenore (and Annabel Lee and Juno and Morella - Lenore’s mom) represent the seven capital virtues: these are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness and humility.

Chasity - Lenore dies before she ever has a relationship, she is in gothic story terms a chaste innocent

Temperance - Lenore seems disgusted by her dad having done drugs (also Juno is Temperance, her wisdom in coming to her own conclusion to wean herself off Ligodine)

Charity - As Verna says the charity her mom starts is a result of Lenore saving her mom (also Juno and Morella donating to charity)

Diligence - Lenore sticks to what is right even when it’s hard, giving a statement to the police about her dad, caring for her grandfather, searching for treatment options for her mom (also Juno diligently weaning herself of drugs, Morella’s charity work, Annabel Lee caring for her children)

Patience - Lenore patiently encourages her family to do better and be better

Kindness - Lenore saves her mother, and creates a ripple effect that saves millions of lives (Annabel Lee being kind to everyone)

Humility - Lenore thinks that losing their fortune and company could be a good thing that leads to a moral good for her family

I'm once again sad we don't see Hammer in 3.

I’m on my lunch break at work, so here’s my opinion on whether or not you could successfully get Fallout 4 companions with a ligma joke.

• Cait - You’d have to get real fucking creative because she’s heard a metric fuck ton of ligma jokes. I’m not sure you’d actually want to succeed though because she *would* make you (or at least your kneecaps) regret that accomplishment.

• Codsworth - You could definitely get him with some. Any attempt after your first one that he successfully picked up on would be met with a disappointed response of “Ligma balls, Mr. ____?”

• Curie - You could get her with literally every attempt. She’ll never understand why you think it’s funny and she’ll have very literal questions about it. “But why does it remind you of ligma balls? Why would you tell me to lick them?”

• Paladin Danse - It’s 50/50 on whether or not you succeed. He is a military man, after all. He’ll never dignify you with a reaction to it though, just ignoring you to focus on the task at hand.

• Deacon - You’ll never get this man with a ligma joke. It’s just not possible. It’s not even that he always knows what you’re doing, he’s just so suspicious of anything anyone says that he’ll derail the conversation with some ridiculous story about how he had to change his face after an operation failed due a ligma outbreak or something.

• Dogmeat - He’s not capable of understanding ligma jokes, but he likes hearing you laugh so he’s a fan of you cracking them.

• Hancock - You’ll probably never get him with one, but he’d be absolutely thrilled if you could. Anytime you try to get him, he just says the punchline himself and makes a suggestive remark about how all you need to do is name the time and place.

• MacCready - You can get him, but it will come at the cost of inciting a full scale war. He will become obsessed with formulating strategies to get you with ligma jokes. All your conversations with him will be nothing but ligma set ups. He’ll have a blast though.

• Valentine - You could probably get him at least once, but regardless of whether or not you succeed the reaction would be the same. Just a tired, slightly amused “Really?”

• Piper - You could get her with a ligma joke exactly *one* time. After that she will be so paranoid that she will never continue a conversation with you after any suspicious statement until she’s thoroughly grilled you about your intentions.

• Preston - You can get him, but he will be so disappointed. Both in you and in himself. It won’t be a fun time.

• Strong - Not only can you get him with a ligma joke, you can also convince him that it has something to do with the milk of human kindness. This will inevitably and hilariously lead to him telling people that he “needs ligma balls to drink human milk”.

• X6-88 - You can’t really get him because he will confidently tell you that whatever you’re referencing is nonsense. The institute has no record of ligma and has done thorough scans of the commonwealth so no such thing exists.

• Ada - You could totally get her with a ligma joke but like, why would you? Maybe take some time to reflect on why you want to do this.

• Old Longfellow - There’s no way he’s falling for it. Ligma jokes are older than the commonwealth and he’s heard his fair share. He doesn’t begrudge the attempt though.

• Porter Gage - About one in every four attempts will land, and he’ll enjoy each one. He’s always looking for more to add to his repertoire.

Anyways, my break is about over so have fun with this I guess.

Thinking about a scenario where some big evil threatens Albion during Sparrow's reign as queen and she and the other three heroes unite once more to deal with the threat while her son has to be left at home with his little sister. Then the big evil threat comes knocking on their door while Sparrow can't get to them, Walter is knocked down and Logan knows he has to protect his little sister but he doesn't know what to do so he just hugs her and screams and then releases a powerful wave of magic to destroy the enemy.

Basically Logan having Will is on my mind all the time and in this essay I will-
