Hi there! I was wondering if you always released the Falloutober prompt list at the very end of September? If this is something that will always stay the same that is not a problem :) was just wondering if an earlier release is possible? I have been able to actually participate in more events when I have a few more weeks of extra planning. Thank you :) 🍁
Hello! Thanks for the ask! I can post it earlier if that's something folks would like! ^_^
By way of explanation, when I first started this prompt series (7 years ago!!!) I imagined it more along the lines of those 'daily drawing' challenges where even if it's rough or messy, the idea is to just do something creative every day and without pre-planning! So I just never really thought about incorporating much extra time.
But I think just about every year I've gotten a couple of comments/asks about when the prompts will be released and it wouldn't be any trouble to share it sooner!
Let me know if ya'll have a preference on how soon. Beginning of September?? Sooner??

The kindest thing that literature does is remind you that your little peculiar feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, felt equally bewildered by love, bored by society, tired of pretending, and hungry for meaning.
What if the person to break into the Institute wasn't the 'Vault Dweller'?
What if the Sole Survivor didn't survive long enough to take down the bogeyman? Who would step into their place?
Based on an actual playthrough with some added canon-twists.
Links by chapter below cut:
"The thing about following in someone's footsteps is that you get to notice all the imprints they leave behind. Bars, guard stations, fields, markets; wherever people gather, those impressions ripple out, farther and farther until they reach the edges. Unlike water though, the ripples don't get smaller, they get bigger, less cohesive. What was that game? Oh yeah, Chinese Whispers.
So every time I get close to a non-threatening populated place, I hear about the man in blue. 'Seven feet tall, had to chip his way out of an ice block with nothing but a pen, he can go invisible at will and leap over a radscorpion in a single bound, without getting stung in the meatsack'. You know, shit like that. Some deny he even exists or that he is actually a whole Vault's worth of men out there, sneaking around, all bearing the same name. The rumors get wilder as the booze and chems get stronger.
They're all looking at a distorted, after-vision of him, not seeing the growing wedge of supporters, companions, settlers-in-arms and the occasional oddity following in his wake, doing a large portion of the work. Don't get me wrong, I admire the man. He does a helluva job with very little. He can make just about anything from all manner of junk and he knows how to survive. I hate the distorted reflection of him, is all. Really doesn't do him justice.

Thankyou to everyone who has read and left comments so far! There is still a bit to tell in this story.
Meanwhile, you might catch Skyler's Survival Mode playthrough live on Twitch (check schedule) or you can find the exported vids on my YouTube channel!
Readers, if you get through 32 chapters and there's no 33 yet, flood my inbox 😅. At time of posting, I have started writing it and have a rough outline. It's hard to start the end!

Okay but, quick notes from someone who grew up with a garden
Tomatoes and potatoes are in the same family. Specifically, the nightshade family (their greenery is toxic to most creatures). Because of this, if you plant them near each other and the bees cross pollinate them, you will get tomato plants that grow tomatoes normally but also produce a few weird, tasteless potatoes at their roots, and vice versa for potato plants producing a few really gross tomatoes from their flower buds along with fairly normal potatoes.
Point is these plants readily crossbreed WITHOUT RADIATION, so a tato being like a… weirdly starchy and dense tomato/potato hybrid is a totally plausible reading.
Further consideration; tomatoes turn red when their sugars develop (thus why a good home grown tomato is sweet). Very few foods naturally contain both simple sugars AND starch, and foods that do are usually regarded as staples wherever they grow because its a lot of energy in one type of nom. Sugars caramelize, and starch lends itself to frying.
Consider: fried tato slices that are crunchy like a fry but kinda sweet/tangy like good tomato sauce
I’ve written razorgrain oil and soap making a good (but smelly) shaving foam. Also, when FO4 came out originally, there was no brahmin milk, so I wrote that you could make a razorgrain milk, not unlike oatmilk.
Mutfruit are a blackberry and raspberry cross in my mind (what does that terminal on the Prydwen say?).
The carrots are huge and may taste more like parsnips, in my mind. Where did all the leafy greens go?
Carrots altering to taste like parsnips would be interesting, considering they’re not in the same family. Parsnips are actually in the same family as parsley, despite their similarity to carrots in look. BUT! Say we run with this, it’s important to remember that the greens of a carrot are entirely edible and actually can be QUITE delicious. So, if we run with the idea that carrots crossed with parsnips at some point and the root took on the sweeter flavor of a parsnip, imagine if the greens kept that characteristic carrot-y flavor but with the background herbatiousness of parsley, and it’s commonly used as an herb both in cooking and tea?
Another interesting consideration would be the fact that carrots already have a rainbow of mutations in the real world [no, really, carrots naturally have diversified into a multitude of colors. Orange carrots are not the original color; heritage breeds of carrots are purple. The orange variation was a mutation that was bred way back in the day to venerate a specific royal house in Europe that was known as the House of Orange.] So! Assuming for a while that carrots were allowed to grow wild for a couple centuries and that radiation would encourage this proclivity towards mutation when it comes to pigment, having wildly diverse breeds of carrots that, depending on color, may have entirely different flavors, nutritional contents, and crossbred with different other plants to take on other aspects– becoming so wildly different from one another that they’re considered different veggies despite having the same root [ha] ancestor.
(The Fallout cookbook implies that tatos taste like a mixture of sweet potato, russet potato, carrot, and tomato and that mutfruit taste like a mixture of blackberry and blueberry. Take that as you will.)
I just want to drop that atomic gardening, where you deliberately expose plants to radiation, usually from cobalt 60, to see if anything cool happens to the seeds, is a thing.
The Rio Star grapefruit is one of the successes of atomic gardening. Farmers literally exposed grapefruit trees to radiation to see if anything cool would happen. And it did.
So radiation may have done all sort of wild things to plants in the Fallout universe - made them bigger, smaller, different colours (Nuka Quantum glowing grapefruits, anyone?), resistant to verticillium wilt… Yes, radiation can do very, very bad things to living organisms, but in the Fallout universe, plenty of plants have survived, and the sky is the limits with regards to fanfic and art of just how weird (or not) those plants get.
Down south in the citrus-growing regions, I personally like to headcanon that a lot of the citrus looks more like Buddha’s hand, mainly because that fruit fits so well into the Fallout aesthetic for me, and that it is very difficult and expensive to get anything resembling conventional lemons, limes, oranges, etc.
I also like to headcanon that yaupon holly has made a serious comeback in popularity, as America’s native caffeine. It grows wild near where I live and also makes a lovely ornamental shrub. It makes a delicious tea-like tisane with notes of raisin and lemon.
(I do also headcanon that chicory is often used as a coffee substitute, because I doubt that even nuclear warfare can eradicate chicory.)
Bringing back this post from a billion years ago because HOLY CRAP THAT’S SO COOL
Also in the last two years I’ve picked up a molecular / bio chemistry hyperfixation thanks to Phy The Neutrophil and Clockwork on youtube, and have since learned that citric acid is part of one of the alternate ways cells can make energy when the standard methods A thru C have 404red. I didn’t realize that citrus fruits carry something so quinticencial to complex life and its layers of contingancies for maintaining homeostasis.
Of specific interest to the Fallout community I think would be Phy’s video on New Gene Birth, where he discusses the theories we have on How Mutations Make New Code That The Body Then Utilizes, and Clockwork’s video examining what is going on with an apperently Indestructable Bacteria that spent a year on the ISS and didn’t seem one bit bothered by cosmic radiation.
