#twosideman

you got it! and huh, i never even considered that ship before (the dynamic sounds interesting though)!

preston garvey

first impression: like kellogg, i didn’t have much of a first impression. i showed up to the museum of freedom and just did my thing. unlike many other people, however, i never found preston annoying or anything. just a guy doing his job.

impression now: bruh… i love this man. his positivity is such a breath of fresh air in comparison to some of the other companions, let me tell you. amazing morals. preston’s a good man, but is sensible and won’t take shit from anyone. i wish bethesda didn’t tie him down with a bunch of radiant quests, though :( 

favorite moment: i love his reaction to the treasures of jamaica plain. dude just starts cracking up. i love his sense of humor.

idea for a story: i’m planning on writing little drabbles of him, the minutemen, and my sole survivor just going about business, actually. 

unpopular opinion: he isn’t boring! his first two affinity conversations are a bit rigid, yes, but i’d say that’s just him taking time to open up.

favorite relationship: okay, hear me out. i feel like him and post blind betrayal danse would be bros. i may or may not write up a thing on this in the future.

favorite headcanon: he’s a major dog person and loves playing with dogmeat!

john hancock

first impression: “this dude in goodneighbor’s a major asshole. i’m so close to shooting him – oh.. oh shit, NICE! thank you random… ghoul… cosplayer man…”

impression now: he’s a great character. he really is. love how chill he is with everyone. he reminds me of that popular guy in high school who looked intimidating, but was actually a really nice person. we all knew someone like that, i think. 

favorite moment: hancock during the silver shroud quest is great. my favorite line: “Guess what someone tells me? Some costumed freak is operating in Goodneighbor. And the kicker is it ain’t me. How should I feel about this?”

idea for a story: hancock getting closure after his brother’s death? yes please!

unpopular opinion: i’m not a huge fan of how hancock is normally portrayed in the fandom. so, fanon hancock, if you will. he’s charismatic and wild, yes, but he isnt a dumbass by any means. he’s smart, friendly, and has a quick wit. it’s so annoying seeing him portrayed as some… clown? i guess?

favorite relationship: him and fahrenheit! i wish we knew more about them.

favorite headcanon: i like the idea of him and the sole survivor working out a deal, of sorts, to have goodneighbor allied with the minutemen. could be neat!

curie

first impression: confession time. i never raised her affinity in my first save! so she just kinda floated around sanctuary in her nanny bot body, and that was that.

impression now: i love her so much, and i am literally starved for more curie content on this website. i admire her dedication to science, and how genuinely optimistic she is. her adjustment to being a synth was super interesting to me too, actually.

favorite moment: i love it when she talks about her mole rats in vault 81: “Clyde got out of his cage. He was smarter than the others, my sweet Clyde.”

idea for a story: maybe a simple one shot of her dealing with her newly found emotions for the first time? could be neat, you know.

unpopular opinion: while i like her romance, i find part of it a little off putting, considering how naive she can be. might be… because i always see all of these creepy guys thirsting after her on reddit, but hey, what can you do.

favorite relationship: i like her and codsworth’s interactions!
