He Doesn't Look A Thing Like Jesus

Fallout 4: Where is the Lone Wanderer?*

*a vague conspiracy theory which doesn’t actually answer the question at hand. We all have our own ideas of how the lore should go, and I’m sure yours is very canon-compliant and valid, but this is mine and I have support for it. Looooongpost.

First off: What do we know about the canon Wanderer?

We know they activated Project Purity (or had a companion do it) without the FEV and were inducted into the Brotherhood. We know they’ve met with MacCready (you can’t finish the game if you don’t), and he has dialogue indicating they had further contact. They also took the Brotherhood’s side at Adams Air Force Base.

We don’t know what happened with The Replicated Man, but since the canon Wanderer appears to have good karma, and info from 4 implies Zimmer’s disappearance was more recent than ten years ago, it seems likely they took the boring ending, which secures their membership in the Railroad.

Why aren’t they in Fallout 4?

The Doylist answer is that they’re highly customizable, and so they have no canon appearance, personality, gender, etc. But in-universe? Something happened.

“Accepting outsiders like yourself has proven disastrous in the past.” - Kells

“I've seen other soldiers come and go. Some were brave, some were honest... hell, some were even downright heroic.” - Danse

“Every doctor I've talked to was worthless. [] I don't need them... I need someone like you.” - MacCready

When Duncan first got sick, “someone like you” would have meant the Wanderer. This suggests (to me) that they’re not in the Capital Wasteland anymore. But they’re certainly not in the Commonwealth either.

The weird thing is that the Lone Wanderer is all over this game - they’re the namesake for a male hairstyle, a perk, a DCR song, a motorcycle brand… and the codename of Deacon’s mission to save the Railroad from certain destruction by recruiting the Sole Survivor.

Someday We’ll Find It, the Deacon Connection

Oh yeah, I’m going here. Desdemona’s terminal entries confirm it was always Deacon’s plan to get you onboard and use you to destroy the Institute. There are Railroad lookout posts near 111/Sanctuary and Red Rocket, and of course he followed you in Goodneighbor, Diamond City, and Bunker Hill (at least). His court jester vibe hides it a bit, but he’s manipulating you more than he’s manipulating Desdemona in the intro scene. And do you notice he rarely gives you a firm verbal disapproval unless you’re hurting the Railroad?

What could have caused Deacon’s interest in you, unless he’s made the connection between you and the Lone Wanderer? He’ll vouch for you if you haven’t accomplished anything yet, or even if you’re a Brotherhood member. A Pip-Boyed stranger emerges from a vault in the middle of a crisis, gaining friends, skills, items, and special abilities at a suspicious rate? Probably with the same gender and playstyle as the previous one? Heck, when he first heard the rumors, he probably thought you WERE the Lone Wanderer.

There are other indications the Railroad has been in contact with them — Desdemona mentions the Capital Wasteland as their primary destination for synths, and Deacon references Harkness’s recall code. If you refuse to pick a codename, Desdemona even assigns you “Wanderer.”

So what happened, then?

I think the answer lies with the Brotherhood, specifically in Deacon’s hatred of them. Sure, ideology is enough to hate them for, but Deacon sure seems suspiciously happy if you nuke their base of operations. (Some of) his comments on that:

“The Brotherhood... well, I met them on an op in Capital Wasteland a few years back. But now with Elder Maxson... Let's just say, not a fan.”

“That bastard Maxson really screwed them up. The Brotherhood used to be the good guys. Well, goodish.”

[Who’s Elder Maxson?] “He’s a piece of work, is what he is.”

And on his time in the Capital:

“Did I ever tell you about the time I was in Capital Wasteland? Now there's a tale.”

“Capital Wasteland. Exports: purified water, some decent tech, oh, and an insane suicidal cult that worships radiation. Thanks, guys.”

“I miss Capital Wasteland. You can actually drink the water there.”

And a few lines I’ve decided (with no evidence) directly refer to LW:

“Last partner I had wound up going... well, a little insane. I think it was all my show tune medleys.”

[After Maxson orders you to hunt Danse down] “See? This is what the Brotherhood's really about.”

And my favorite: “I’ve been looking forward to kicking the Brotherhood’s teeth in. I owe them.” This line comes before Glory is killed, so he’s not referring to that. The Brotherhood only recently arrived in force in the Commonwealth. He’s talking about something that happened in the Capital Wasteland.

So Here’s What Might Have Happened:

In early 2286, Deacon moves to the Capitol Wasteland for awhile, probably to get a face change and lay low for a bit. He contacts the Lone Wanderer, who has barely heard from the Railroad in nine years. They begin to work together.

(In context, this journal entry looks like he’s somehow gathering intel to predict when Vault 111 will open, but I can’t think of a way for him to get that information or know why it’s important, so I’m not going to believe it just yet.)

The Wanderer is still a knight, maybe a paladin. Maxson has been elder for 2-3 years and is monitoring the Institute. Meanwhile, the Lone Wanderer and Deacon are setting up infrastructure to receive escaped synths.

And then the Brotherhood finds out about one of the safehouses. With their limited understanding, they believe that the Institute is holed up there and attack. The Wanderer intentionally throws the mission — maybe disobeys orders, maybe downs a vertibird or collapses a subway tunnel, or maybe even attacks their brothers to protect the synths.

And, well-

Either they were killed, or they escaped court martial and execution by a hair’s breadth and fled the Capital, leaving Deacon to believe Maxson had them killed.

There you have it. That’s why they aren’t in Brotherhood dialogue or records. Their accomplishments couldn’t be recognized because they’re a traitor. And that’s why it’s personal for Deacon.

nobody but your medical professionals needs to know your agab. the entire point of the trans community is accepting people as they are, regardless of the identity and/or body parts they were born with (or without). your agab is between you and g-d and you should not feel compelled to divulge it to strangers for "their" well being or safety. you are not obligated to tell it to a single soul. please know that you have a right to privacy, this is a matter of your well being and safety.

these are way too much fun to do

Oumota Week 2023 / Day 2: Performance

[Juust a silly AU where NDRV3 is a stage play and uhh.. Tsumugi? divides the class into groups that need to come up with their own plot for their chapter. Yeahhh- Does it count?]

A clean version hehe

My boy😍 I adore him🫶🏻🫶🏻

Sub!Levi + Pegging HCs

Enjoy this whiney boy having the time of his life♡

He's obviously going to be blushing a lot before it even starts, barely able to make eye contact with you as you talk about all the things you're going to do to him and just how much he's going to enjoy it. He definitely wants to but he's always been especially shy with things of a sexual nature and to do something as far as this is just sending him over the edge into Blushing Babyville

His head will be turned away as you prep him, fingers buried deep inside him as he bites his lip in an attempt to keep all those precious sounds in. Using your other hand to force his eyes to yours is the perfect way to tell him it's okay to let go while also commanding that he let you hear him.

Once you finally enter Levi fully his eyes will fill with overwhelmed tears and you'll have to wait a moment for him to adjust. It's not necessarily painful, or at least nothing bad, but it's something different and his mind is still trying to wrap around how he can feel so full. Once he's ready his hips will start shifting to take you in further, a soft whine leaving his lips as he wordlessly urges you to fuck him. Make him tell you how much he wants it, having him beg will make his cheeks redden impossibly further as his cock leaks as a tell-tale sign he's enjoying it.

This boy is flexible. Wrap his legs around your waist or place them over your shoulders as you drill into his prostrate. The slight burn as his legs slowly start to relax into the new position paired with the feeling of you buried deep inside him leaves him trembling as he continues to cry out.

Levi is a big scratcher during this. He'll latch onto your back as he leaves trails of red marks across your waist and shoulder blades. He'll apologize once he notices what he's doing as emotions run high. Comforting him is easy as he takes your words at face value during this, soothing his worries with your gentle words.

He's honestly really out of it, pegging throws him deep into his headspace so don't expect anything more than a few broken sentences and soft repetitive muttering once you start really going at it. Once he's completely wrecked he just whispers out things like "I love you" and "Thank you" over and over again as his ass swallows up your strap beautifully.

Changing the pace right before he comes leaves him shaking. Start to slowly stroke his cock while your strap eases slowly in and out of him, allowing him to become desperate for you to pick up the pace while also appreciating the sensations flooding his body as you continue to pump his base with an occasional swipe over the head of his dick.

When you're going slow he likes to play with your hands, twirling the strands between his fingers as you peer down at him. He manages to overcome his shyness to stare at your face, enjoying the feeling of being under you as your strokes even out.

He almost exclusively likes to be pegged in missionary but mirror sex is another good option. The embarrassment from the sight of himself being made a mess on your strap has his eyes shifting away once again but his gaze always travels back to the mirror just to meet your own. It makes him feel so ashamed that he's enjoying this but in the best possible way, knowing you love seeing him like this even when he's flustered is EVERYTHING.

Levi doesn't sob but tears do run down his cheeks occasionally when you hit the sweet spot buried deep inside of him. You can feel the resistance as you fuck, possibly even having to re-lube yourself before you continue. He tightens up the harder you go, not to stop it but because it feels so good he just can't help himself. He secretly loves the slight pain it induces and has even placed his hand over yours lightly as you reached over to grab more lubricant, looking up at you with eyes that were just screaming to continue without adding any more.

Hm yes much deviousness, Very mastermind. Could I request the THH boys reacting to their s/o being the mastermind pls ? ʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔっ🔪 "upupupu" - 🐺

Also i love hifumi sorry

Makoto Naegi

❤ Kirigiri kept looking at him - why was she constantly glancing his way? She had been so secretive ever since they were gathering evidence, it was almost unfair. Why did she feel the need to hide something from him? Wasn’t she the one that hated secrets so much?

❤ He was clenching his fists and staring at her back. He was trying to see the answers in her eyes.

❤ Genuinely, he had no idea. He wasn’t like Kirigiri, he hadn’t explored every possibility. There was a protective barrier around you in his mind, of course there was.

❤ But the more and more the evidence started pooling in, the harder he was fighting. He defended you to himself. There was both the sense of my love would never do anything like this and how could I let somebody so evil so close to me?

❤ You would have to admit it. You would have to laugh in his face, so humored by tricking him so he could fully process that you were the big bad wolf.

❤ When the truth settles in, suddenly it is hard for him to breathe. He is grasping his chest, his memory electric as it plays through all of the moments you two had together. How could he not see it?

❤ Were you playing him this entire time? Is that why it felt as if you were perfect for him?

❤ His hands will not stop shaking.

❤ Everyone looks at him with sympathy.

❤ He gulps down his sorrow before lifting his chin, letting out a loud I will prove everything, right now!

.

Leon Kuwata

❤ When Kirigiri finally brings forth the true evidence that you have been the mastermind, your teasing eyes glance his way. He meets your gaze.

❤ There is no way he can say I couldn't have known - because he could always tell that you were different, that is what drew him to you.

❤ He wanted to uncover that mysterious part of you, your secretive nature was alluring and seducing.

❤ But this is not what he expected.

❤ “How… could you?”

❤ Though, with all the pain you caused his friends; your friends, he still finds a simple feeling of gratification, because you were the one that helped him live.

❤ He had killed Maizono, he did, he remembers slashing through her, that relentless urge to seek revenge - self defense?

❤ So why had Naegi been punished instead?

❤ He looks at Kirigiri, taking in her neutral expression, the way she is looking at the Monokuma doll and not at you. When his eyes glide back at you, you are staring at him, chin tilted down, a small smile on your face.

❤ “But you are thankful, aren’t you?” You say.

❤ He grabs onto the wooden podium in front of him, gripping it hard to stop himself from running over there.

❤ You continue, “I watched it happen. I knew you would do it.”

❤ Hagakure crosses his arms, tilting his head to the side and leaning in with a nervousness in his voice. “Hey… what are you talking about?”

❤ Leon has remarks, rude words telling that man to bug off, but none of them come out. He just cannot stop staring at you.

❤ You protected him - you have to love him, right?

❤ He tries to shake the thought out of his head. It doesn’t matter if you love him - it doesn’t matter if you love him - it doesn’t matter if you love him.

.

Hifumi Yamada

❤ His heavy sense of justice and defense made him more determined to figure out the mastermind than he was at the beginning of the game.

❤ His tongue spits out little to no actual evidence but more empty threats (realistically, at least, or maybe not-) to anyone he suspects to be the mastermind.

❤ But Naegi kept pointing accusations at you - why? Why does he?

❤ The more you try and defend yourself, the more passionate Hifumi gets.

❤ There’s no way you are the mastermind. You help him, you accept him, you let him ramble about his fictional pieces and you even talk about some fictional media you like. He’s never met somebody who was as loving to him - as a person rather than a creator - than you.

❤ His lips curve into a tight smile when you yell at Naegi and berating him and calling him an imbecile.

❤ But the final story - the pieces - fit together perfectly.

❤ Hifumi never stopped defending you, he couldn’t. Even if it made sense that you were the evil one, maybe it was a set up.

❤ He swore to kill whoever the mastermind is, but if it’s you, how can he be so confident? What is he really defending his friends from: his greatest enemy or his closest treasure?

❤ You’d have to admit, say it loud and clear with no faltering in your voice. I am the mastermind.

❤ Brainwashed, then, you’d have to be!

❤ It tears him up inside to think that he was enabling somebody like you, that he let you inside his heart and let you help him get closer to everybody.

❤ Were you making him friends with everybody just to see the despair on his face when they finally died?

.

Ishimaru Kiyotaka

❤ There’s no easy way for him to process this information. It’s like a slap to the face - it’s something hard and ruthless.

❤ What life does he live where he’s lost his ability to judge character? How horribly will his grandfather feel once he hears of this?

❤ He watches you as you shout about, both laughing at people for not realizing you were the mastermind and defending yourself from those who call you ungenerous.

❤ You purposely dodge his attention. He tries to call out to you, tries to find a way to reach you but you look away, addressing somebody else, trying to ignore his pleas.

❤ You can’t handle it: his teary eyes and his clenched fists.

❤ He always defended you when people would think you were the culprit. He’s always been there, by your side, supporting you and keeping you safe throughout the killing game.

❤ He risked his life to make sure you were okay.

❤ And each time he did, he didn’t die.

❤ You’ve planned for his death many times, but never has it ever succeeded. Why?

❤ Does that mean the two of you are destined to be together?

❤ If so, then that only gives you more motivation to kill him, and he can see it in your eyes when you finally meet his gaze.

.

Mondo Oowada

❤ He knew it - he could almost tell from the beginning of the trial. There was an antsiness that he picked up from your body (the body he stares at all the time, but anyway).

❤ It wasn’t nervousness, no. He’s seen you when you were nervous: the times where he’d pick you up on his illicit bike from in front of your house, or the times where he’d be stealing food from a supermarket and driving away with you sitting behind him. This isn’t you being nervous - it’s an exciting anticipation.

❤ And that’s a horrific omen.

❤ He was quiet, not saying anything unless provoked, and rather than giving useful thoughts he would establish his place with rude offenses.

❤ It made him look the tiniest, more suspicious, though beyond the beratting from Fukawa, Kirigiri was always there to mildly defend him.

❤ He almost wanted to be guilty, that would make things so much easier.

❤ He glances at you, and you glance back with a smile.

❤ He knows - but the thing he’s contemplating is whether he wants to help you to win this game or if he wants to survive without you.

.

Chihiro Fujisaki

❤ He was emotional the entire trial, and everyone talking about you possibly being the mastermind? It was too much for him to handle.

❤ He was gripping his hair, begging for it all to not be true.

❤ You even went outside of your podium and held him, brushing your hand against his face, telling him that everything will be okay.

❤ You won’t die, is what you promised, you won’t die.

❤ And he didn’t, he really didn't, though it really felt as if he did.

❤ You were a bit too caring for the severity of your evilness to really set in. You were considerate, even when admitting to loving the death of your friends.

❤ Throughout the entire trial, you were making sure that he was not being sent into a panic attack, you were checking up on him and asking him if he was okay.

❤ It was only increasing his despair - why are you still being nice? What is your true personality - a caring person or an evil murderer?

❤ Are you allowed to be both? Is that even possible?

.

Byakuya Togami

❤ It was sexy- no I’m just kidding. Well, maybe not. He finds your morbid attitude to be a bit charming, but outside of that, your direct ruthlessness and carelessness for others is something that he cannot get behind.

❤ You were fooling him - is it because you wanted his money?

❤ The part that he doesn’t understand is why didn’t you just tell him. That could have saved you - would he support you in destroying the world? No, but he wouldn’t have just thrown you in jail.

❤ Something could have been done about it.

❤ Something could have been done to avoid this.

❤ He is more upset at the way you follow your own rules than anything else, why must you deserve to die? He had destined his future with you, he was loyal to you and finally felt as if he was more than a Togami - that he was Byakuya.

❤ More than feeling as if you betrayed him, he feels like he has betrayed you by letting you die like this.

❤ He watches your execution with stern eyes.

❤ If there was nobody else here, he would be kneeling in front of you, kissing your fingers and offering different solutions. But that’s not how this all played out. There is an audience - a group of people looking at him, trying to feed off of his reaction, trying to get a read on him, what are they searching for? Weakness?

❤ He showed you no sympathy the same way you did to him.

❤ But there was a telepathetic understanding, you both trying to convey the same hidden message to each other: I am sorry.

.

Hagakure Yasuhiro

❤ What is he supposed to do? He doesn’t know how he is supposed to react to all of this evidence.

❤ Will he be a good boyfriend if he defends you? Do you want him to defend you?

❤ He tries to mimic your actions.

❤ He doesn’t know what to think - there are so many reasons why it is you, and so little reasons why it isn’t. Should he be holding onto faith?

❤ What would his crystal ball say?

❤ So he asks, in front of everyone, “Hey man, you’re not really the mastermind, are you?”

❤ “Would you still love me if I was?”

❤ The question didn’t sound genuine, it sounded like a tease, and it caught him off guard.

❤ He stutters before Naegi cuts him off.

❤ He cannot hear anything else, your response echoes throughout his head. Was this you admitting?

❤ If he genuinely answered, what would your response be then? It is too late for that, he knows, as Naegi is already explaining the origins of your crimes.

Masterlist

AO3

Okay but imagine..

Shōta is sitting on the edge of his hospital bed, a vacant look on his face. He has just lost an eye and a leg in the last battle, and probably the ability to use his quirk any longer.

He hears a commotion outside of his room before you storm in and stand a few feet away from him:

_ "Shōta, you're finally awake. I thought I lost you. You were unconscious for days."

You sob, still not believing that your man is finally back.

He says nothing, the vacant look still present on his face. You walk up to him and hug him lightly, careful not to disturb his fresh wounds. But he doesn't hug you back like he always does..

You pull away and look at his face, he says nothing..

You understand that what happened to him can be too much to bare, so you don't question him and simply smile reassuringly.

You lean in for a kiss, but before you could reach his lips, he speaks: "Leave."

You stop dead in your tracks, eyes wide and a lump growing in your throat: "Shōta.."

He finally looks at you before continuing in the same monotone voice:

_ "It's over for us."

...What?

_ "I'm breaking up with you if that's not already clear."

...No it can't be. Is this a joke?

_ "To tell you the truth, I've never really loved you to begin with."

...That's not true, he's lying right?

_ "It took me a near death experience to finally realize that I don't want to waste what's left of my life with someone I have no feelings for."

You're trying to speak, to say anything, but your mouth is dry and your thoughts are foggy. You search his expressions for any signs of wavering but you find none.

He presses the nurse call button and asks the lady to escort you out.

You say nothing, you're unable to anyway. The only thing you can do is cry as the woman drags you outside.

Little did you know, his words tortured him more than they did you. He loves you too much that it made more sense to let you go than to burden your heart. Because in his own disturbed mind, he's not even half the man he used to be...

He breaks down right after you leave his room.

I may or may not have broken my own heart a little bit with this one.
