ahhhh!!! thank you SOOO MUCH!!!! i have a few little tidbits about her in my notes! sorry this ends up wayyy longer than i wanted it to be, i've just never really talked about her before lol

sally was originally supposed to be an alt to my courier del that WOULD have ended up aligning with sugar daddy house, but i wanted to explore a character that doesn't follow the storyline of any of the fallout pcs so this is what was born instead!

sally tuesday is a stage name, her actual name is sarah tuszynski

she's a natural redhead

her career started at a young age back in ncr territory where she worked a local circus, her acts were trick riding and roping, barrel racing and steer wrestling. she ended up permanently leaving home at 15 for a traveling rodeo group that ended up with her stuck in carson at some sleazy western-themed casino where her trick acts became part of a fairly popular burlesque show

her first real beau before gage is boss nero from the gomorrah, it started off as some whirlwind "i can save you from this place" romance that ends with him clipping her wings and cheating on her when he eventually gets bored. she ends the relationship with a .22 pressed into the pillow she smothers him with :)

i actually have a moodboard for them that's been sitting in my drafts for a while now but i've been too shy to share it as i haven't taken the time to share anything about them (ok read more time!)

How vividly does your OC dream? What do they dream about, or do they even remember their dreams?

he dreams pretty vividly, and remembers them more often than he'd like to, honestly.

when he was younger he would have a recurring dream about floating in space, which started off calming but would eventually end in panic as he realizes he doesn't know how he's gonna get home...

in the wasteland he has 3 categories of dreams: nightmares of horrible things happening to his loved ones, fakeout dreams where he's back in the vault and everything is fine, and the sporadic weird dream where jury-rig speaks english. he's mean, of course.

5. What sound does your OC hate the most?

he really hates high pitched repetitive noises, which is why birdsong and crickets chirping drives him up the wall... he eventually gets used to it, but sometimes he'll still find himself accidentally fixating on a bird singing a little too persistently outside his window and get pissed off all over again...

19. Which OC has the best imagination?

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

naruto was my first introduction to fanfiction a lifetime ago, but my first real attempts at writing/publishing fic happened around 2021 i want to say? i had contracted covid from my job and was VIOLENTLY ill while my husband was out of town for work and idk! i just had nothing to do! so i returned to some random little blurb i had written years prior, edited it, and wrote like 8 or so chapters of a fic in those two weeks!

🕯️ ⇢ on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy editing? why is that?

i'd say like a solid.... 4 but it's growing on me! i've always been a first draft then publish kind of guy but i am starting to slow down and proof a lot more. my tranquility lane fic (despite being riddled with grammar errors and areas that should be rewritten) is probably the first fic where i've really begun to work on this skill lol

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?

fallout is probably the most obvious one! but i've gotten some inspiration from some scifi books/movies recently that have me thinking about a sole survivor oc/story that would be separate from bridgette's. it's put harlan ellison, walter m miller jr, and richard k morgan on a reading list!

🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them

i do! these are oldies but goodies of my pooch birdie! i used to take her to the doggy daycare next to my old job while i worked and they used to do photoshoots lol. also the last one was the doggy daycare's homescreen because they thought it was so funny lol

anime villain monologue is so accurate lmao

i'm still trying to collect my thoughts so bear with me if they're not super coherent. but bridgette played for the chicago chickadees, which would essentially be the fallout equivalent to the rockford peaches. their colors (again taking from the aagpbl team southbend chicks) were light blue and gray, im still not sure what number she wore

bridgette or "babe" perry played shortstop and was considered one of the best "vacuums" in the league, she also had a pretty decent batting avg that kept her overall popular. she was recruited out of high school and played from 17-21 (thank goodness for graduating early! dad wasn't super crazy about the move, but she had a good manager/team to keep her safe) and her young age was what earned her the nickname "babe". her career ended far too early because of a devastating meniscus tear that she never quite recovered from

this was what ive been really playing with but her career is how she met nate! she was 20 and he was a 17 year old preparing for his senior year of high school, he and his older brothers (maybe friends) followed around the chicago chickadees for nearly the entire summer and he attended every single one of bridgette's games (or at least tried to!)

sfw/nsfw ask meme - doing sfw since it wasn't specified, hope that's ok!

1. Who cooks?

neither!! ladybird can cook, but doesn’t give a damn about ever doing it. they’re rolling in caps so they usually hit the tops restaurant if they want to eat

4. Living space has a leak! Who fixes it?

ladybird is pretty handy with a wrench, raul has taught her well on how to keep her gear in working order. she would probably fix it herself rather than wait on tommy to do it

10. Any pets? Or plants?

doing this sfw and nsfw hehe

2. Who’s the messiest? The cleanest?

sofia is definitely messier than preston! especially when her depression gets the better of her. she leaves makeup and clothes strewn about when she's getting ready, unwashed dishes in the sink, etc. preston would always be there to help her tidy up though. she gets better as her depression gets treated :)

7. Would they go to the beach?

yes!!! but i don't think the beach in the commonwealth is as nice as the prewar beaches in the philippines lmfao and sofia would be reminded of that. plus the water would be too cold for her. they would probably just splash around in the shoreline like in the last scenes of atonement hehe

^ imagine that's sofia and preston :))

10. Any pets? Or plants?

yes to plants! lots of plants. they have a full blown garden in their backyard that they both tend to, full of flowers and vegetables and other wasteland flora

--

2. Who brings ideas? Who initiates?

sofia might be grey ace but sex has always intrigued her so new ideas come to her every so often! and preston initiates more often than not, though sofia has her moments too

7. Genital headcanons?

full bush babey!! for both of them. otherwise just the regular genitals is fine

10. First to orgasm? Last to orgasm? Who comes the most? Does someone ever end up unfinished?

16. How does your character think whatever they're going through is going to end? (if they already survived, did things go as they once thought?)

entirely depends on when you ask him... for the longest time he thought he would either finally get himself killed or figure out he was already dead and in some kind of purgatory. obviously neither of those things happened, so by the time he's in the commonwealth he's ready to just go with the flow for the first time in his life. he doesn't know how things will turn out, but he's not going to try and tempt fate too much.

23. What does your character value more than anything?

quality time with his loved ones... he's always known life is fleeting and every moment he gets with someone he loves is precious, but it's a feeling that only grows stronger as he ages. unfortunately this also manifests as massive separation anxiety, but it's okay. it's fine. arcade can leave the house for 10 minutes. maccready can walk to that settlement by himself. jury-rig can disappear into the bushes for 30 seconds. they won't die.
