#fallout4-companionsreact

I’m not really sure what an OC blog is, BUT! I can give you some guidelines that I sort of unofficially created and follow for my blog that I believe could benefit any blog that puts out original content!

1. Keep on topic! For example, I run a Fallout 4 reaction blog (with an *ahem* small emphasis on Deacon). Therefore, most of my posts are my writing (or my close friends’ writing or things that people have written for me that are all Fallout 4 centered), answers to Fallout 4 related asks or asks about the blog specifically, and a very very very scant amount of reblogs of things I find so interesting or important that I just have to share them with my followers. Essentially this boils down to living up to the expectations you set with your blog description. If you have a Sole OC blog, keep your posts exclusively about Fallout 4 and Sole OCs. 

2. No negativity on your blog. Period. It’s your blog, and unless you do something that actually warrants an apology, do not post hate, anon or not, or anything that needlessly attacks companions, headcanons, or etc that people hold dear or that would put a damper on everyone’s general experience. And no attacking anyone who sends in asks, even if they deserve it. I promise, just delete negative asks from your inbox. You’ll be a happy blogger this way, and you’ll be much more able to make others happy through your blog. Thankfully I’ve been blessed enough not to receive hate about myself. However, weirdly enough, I have received hate about another blog whose owner I am friends with. It made me furious, and I was so tempted to rip them a new one, but I deleted it. My followers don’t need that kind of negativity on their dash, and I didn’t want to unintentionally send waves of people to the victim’s blog because they had already been hurt enough by the anon already. So, moral of the story is, no negativity.

3. Do not run yourself dry by forcibly attending the blog. Take a break when you need it! Collect your thoughts and refresh those creative juices! All you accomplish by forcing yourself to post is create half-assed content, and nobody wants that. Plus, it makes you miserable and associate your blog with an atmosphere of work instead of play. Make your blog a place you come to when you need to relax or express yourself. Your followers, for the most part, will understand. They want to follow a happy and healthy blogger who posts the best content they can create!

4. Have fun! Communicate with your followers! Reblog with replies to people who reblog your original posts! Encourage other tumblr users! Send messages! Make friends! Of course, be frugal with your personal information as always, but don’t be afraid to reach out and talk to someone whose blog you like and discuss common interests! Not only will interaction enrich your experience and build new friendships, but it might also earn you some recommendations and/or support from other tumblr users!

Welp, that’s about all I have to offer! Sorry I couldn’t help you as far as the specifics of running an OC blog. Maybe someone from my audience can help? What’s say you guys? If you have any extra advice, please send it in via reply or reblog so the anon can see it!

YASSS! FINALLY SOMEONE ASKED ME! :’) I’ve been dying to answer this questionever since I had seen it asked on other react blogs, but nobody had ever actually asked me!

Okay, so when I started this blog, my first post, like pretty much everyone else’s first post, asked politely for requests. 

Days went by.

No requests.

So what am I to do? I have a blog and am perfectly willing to fulfill requests, but no prompts are coming in. I frown, then look out of the window. It’s snowing outside, and it’s pretty. My imagination wanders, and I think of the companions having fun in the snow. It’s cute, it’s domestic, and I think it’s a darn fine prompt. ‘Screw it!’ I say! ‘The first request I fill doesn’t have to be someone else’s; it can be my own!

So that’s exactly what I did. I wrote down that idea in proper companions react format and tagged it as such because it was, and voila! People liked it! And soon enough I had asks showing up in my inbox! The chemical reaction had been successfully ignited, and snowballed into what you see before you today!

That, my friend, is what you do. You have the skill; you have the will. Now show people! Come up with your own unique prompt and own it. Tag it as a companions react, and the right people will come a knockin’ on your door.

Could you do a smiling Deacon for my poor poor soul?

lmao that sounds dangerous tbh :P although, my Sabine does something similar so u know. 

Wanna send in some cutesy companion headcanons? With or without Sole, romantic or not, anything you can think of or have had floating around in your pretty little heads! ^.^

Push off a cliff (*cough*thePrydwen*cough*): You knew it was coming… I see you over there Maxson! Don’t get too close to that railing without your power armor on >:3

Kiss: Ooooooooh! Kent it so precious I could just kiss his cheeks all day (once I’m done pinching them of course ^.^)

Marry: I bet Sturges would be such a good husband! Real down-to-earth, handy, all-around good guy with rippling muscles: any woman’s dream!

Set on Fire: I’ll just go ahead and light Father on fire since I’m gonna be a Railroadie my first go around, and that’s what we do anyways.

Wrap a Blanket around: I’mma wrap Cait up because she deserves some love after all she went through as a kid! ;-;

Pssst! Sorry if this one’s a little off! I haven’t played New Vegas in ages, and I never finished it soooo… if my answers are a bit off that might be why. I did look them all up in the Fallout Wiki though, so here we go!

Push off a cliff: Benny is a power-hungry, murdering butt-face, so off the cliff he goes!

Kiss: (ERgh, I couldn’t really choose between Charon and Boone on this one o~o) I guess I’d go with Charon because I am so sad that he was practically brainwashed into fulfilling contracts that go against his own moral beliefs. Plus, I think kissing Boone would be insensitive since he’s still grieving over his wife.

Marry: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????????????

Deacon

Set on Fire: I’d set Butch on fire because I’m sure with all the hair gel he’s got on his noggin’ he’d blow up like a Fourth of July barbecue! He’s got a pretty face, but he gets lit on fire for being a total jerk wad!

Wrap a Blanket around: Boone. Poor Boone. He just needs a blanket and someone to tell him everything’s gonna be okay.
