A little comic I had in my head for a while. I’d like to call it “Nick’s fucking done”.
Haven’t made a digital drawing in ages, haha.
Wonder who will know the anime that inspired me. It’s an oldie. Then again, so am I…
This is Nick’s Final Smash like in Super Smash Bros, he doesn’t do it often, only when in dire situations.
Except, he’s too old which means on the rare occasions that he actually does this, he’s out of commission for a few weeks afterwards and he needs a wheelchair to get around.
He gets all grumpy as everyone else fusses over him like a convalescent old man, but he is one sooooooooo….. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
It’s his own fault for not tending to himself better and keeping up with repairs beforehand. (Take your meds, Peepaw)
GUYS LOOK- NICKY HAS A HEART HIDDEN INSIDE HIS CHEST!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
@sassenashsworld Surely Nora will combust if she needed to work on Nick herself instead of Sturges for some reason, and THIS is what she finds.
Jasmine/Rosalinda: (Running around Sanctuary) “I NEED TO FIND SOME HAAAAY!!!!”
X6-88: (Calmly but protectively following the teen girl around) “Whatever for?”
Rosalinda: (Huffs tiredly because she’s been running everywhere) “For the three wisemen coming tonight!!! It’s Día de los Reyes- so Imma leave them hay and crunchy carrots for their camels, and fresh bread for the wisemen themselves.”
MacCready: “….The three wisemen? Who are they?” (Mumbles to himself) “And I still dunno what the heck a camel is.”
Deacon: (Slides in) “Obviously all three wisemen represent ✨me✨ because I’m the wisest of wisemen that ever existed.”
Rosalinda: (Plucks some carrots from out of the garden, lightly smacking Deacon with them) “No, PENDEJO.” (Gestures around her) “I highly doubt that ya were alive back then to see baby Jesus.”
X6-88: (Sassily snaps his finger while remaining monotone) “She’s right. Besides, if you’re considered wise- then I’m a Holly-Jolly Comedian.”
Deacon: (Puts a hand over his heart, deeply offended) “OWCH.”
Piper: (Already has her notepad out) “Soooooo, how does this whole shoe-thing holiday work?”
Rosalinda: “Ya put your shoe outside or under the Christmas tree, stuff it with some hay or carrots for the camels, or food for the wisemen, leave a list of things that ya want as gifts on top of it all, then go to bed. And when ya wake up- BOOM. Gifts galore!!!”
MacCready: “But didn’t you JUST get spoiled rotten with all your Christmas gifts???”
Rosalinda: (Clicks her tongue) “Well, before the Americanized Christmas traditions became more popular with Santa Claus and all that…. THIS was when we were supposed get our gifts alongside El Niño Jesús in México.” (Throws up her hands) BUT Y’KNOW- WE KINDA GOT INVADED AND COLONIZED BY THE USA WHO INSISTED WE TRANSITION TO ONLY CELEBRATING THE BIG FAT RED MAN LIKE THEY WANTED.”
Piper: (Raises her brows)
Rosalinda: “But to make the best outta an initially bad and oppressive situation meant to strip us from our roots- we just have TWO Christmases!!! Double the fun, and the FOOD!!! It’s a win-win!!!”
Hancock: (Busts in with an armful of hay with supportive Big Brother energy) “¡VAMOS A VER A JESÚS!”
Danse: (Comes up behind him with a sackful of carrots held up victoriously)
Rosalinda: “YAY! HAY AND CARROTS!!!” (Claps her hands) “Everyone take off your shoooooes~!”
Nick: (Tired Dad Sigh from his place in the background) “Imma be bankrupt by the time all these holidays are over….”
Magnolia: (Supportively pats his back)
Nick: (Lights himself a cigarette) “Least my little girl’s smile is worth all the caps in the world.”
(Yes, Hancock and all the others are learning how to speak proper Spanish so they can communicate with the kitten girl 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹)
A father’s love knows no bounds! RoboDad will climb any mountain no matter how steep just to reach his precious little girl and hug her just like this. She deserves to have a whole festival thrown in her honor, she deserves to be treated like a little princess by her Fallout Family.
This amazing piece of art was done by @lem0nslittleguys !!!!
It was done to accompany my fic for the Fallout Big Bang that unfortunately kinda fell through and I’m unsure if anyone else has posted their own fics and drawings, but me and @lem0nslittleguys are both are still pulling through for this one!!!!
Ellie Perkins: (Walks into the room with a clipboard) “Nick- we have a new client phoning in for a case that they need solved-…”
Nick: “…Not another one.” (Grumbles under his breath, plain bone tired after a long week of parenting) “Tell ‘em and anyone else that comes knocking that I’m on maternity leave and indisposed until further notice.” (Chuckles ironically, patting the little lump under his coat)
Hancock: (High as a kite on the sofa) “Wait-!!! YOU’RE PREGNANT?!?!?” (Shoots up from the sofa with wide eyes)
Nick: “What?!?! No!!!!”
Hancock: (Jabs an accusing finger at the lump in RoboDad’s coat) “Then how do you explain THAT obviously big baby bump!?!?”
Nick: (Gestures at the lump that he keeps at least one arm on at all times) “This?!?!”
Hancock: “Yeah!!! That!!!” (Shakes his head) “I thought we were all one big happy family, Nick! How could you keep this a secret from us?!?! Does Magnolia at least know?!?! Nate and Nora?!?! What about Curie!!! She’s the doctor!!! We need to throw a baby shower for you and Mags, and we need to help prep the nursery and delivery/postpartum room since the Wasteland is hell for pregnant-…”
Nick: “……….” (Wordlessly unbuttons the top buttons of his coat so Hancock can see what’s actually in there)
Jasmine: (Is clinging to Nick like a baby koala, fast asleep all nice and warm under his coat despite all the noise)
Hancock: (Chills out immediately) “Ah right, you already did have a Baby Valentine of your own, and you’re just incubating her.” (Flops back onto the sofa) “Crisis adverted, I shoulda known you’d wouldn’t keep such a big secret from your lady love and the rest of us.”
Nick: (Bewildered look at the other man) “What in Sam Hill makes ya think that I of all people could get pregnant?!?! I’m kinda missing some IMPORTANT key components to biologically produce any children.”
Hancock: (Shrugs his shoulders) “Just saying- I wouldn’t have judged ya if you got pregnant out of wedlock. Ya know that I ain’t that kinda guy.”
Nick: (Tired Dad Sigh) “….Come back and talk with me when you ain’t baked as hell. I’m exhausted enough as it is, I’m too old to deal with this sorta shenanigans.” (Buttons back up his coat and walks away so his daughter doesn’t have to absorb any of this idiocy in her sleep)
Ellie Perkins: (Doing her best to not DIE of laughter in the background, but she’s failing very badly)
Man I should start cleaning out my drafts…. Most of the things I have in there are half completed or 3/4 of the way completed. I have a good amount of screenshots (mostly of Nick of course) and then plenty of half-baked Snippets of Rosie with her family.
Anybody remember when I used to do ✨Companions Reacts✨???? Yeah, I still have all my requests that have at least a basic outline. I should probably finish those lol.
There’s one where someone wanted me to do a Birthday react for their Birthday…. But in 2022. 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m so sorry Dude, it’s been almost 4 years.
Originally I stopped doing companion reacts because I felt like I was making everyone too shallow, one dimensional, and stereotypical. So I stepped back and focused on my main story to get a better feel on how I was actually gonna be writing the companions…. And then I got fully absorbed into writing the main story.
Which idk if that many of you guys read it, but I’m pretty sure at some people can vouch for me when I say that it take a lot of brain power to write such a heavy story….. Soooooo…. Yeah.
Salute to anyone who is still waiting for those promised Companions React. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Jasmine: (Happily toddles around in the woods behind Sanctuary) “Y’know… I would like to carve a pumpkin or two for this Halloween…”
Hancock: (Immediately turns around) “WE NEED A HUNDRED PUMPKINS HERE- STAT! AND SOME KNIVES!”
Jasmine: (Balances on a fallen log, lost in her daydream) “And have some good old fashion pumpkin treats… Like pie and cookies. Mhhm, how heavenly tasting.”
Piper: (Loudly claps her hands) “SOMEONE GET CODSWORTH TO THE KITCHEN!”
Jasmine: (Sighs heavily) “I wish the neighborhoods were still safe to go Trick Or Treating… Now you’re more likely to become the treat yourself- the treat to some mutant…”
Danse: “GARVEY!!! We need a dozen patrol units around Sanctuary!”
Preston: (Does a mini salute) “Already on it!”
Jasmine: (Taps her chin with her index finger as she thinks) “And to dress up…? Maybe as a magical princess, just something innocent and whimsical for once. This world we lived in sucked all the childlike wonder from me, I would like to have some of it back.”
Curie: (Raises her hand voluntarily) “I can sew you something!!! And quite quickly too!” (Rushes off to do just that)
MacCready: (Also raises his hand) “And I can help!” (Hurries after Curie)
Jasmine: (Closes her eyes as she takes a deep breath) “And the party games… With all the children laughing… No matter how corny they were, they were still fun to play…”
Deacon: “Corny party games! Got it!” (Puts his arms around X6 and Cait) “This should be our area of expertise!”
Cait: “Oi! Does it look like me or the Icebox have any sense of kiddish fun?”
Deacon: (Starts hustling them away) “Don’t worry a single pretty hair on your head! You’re both PERFECT for this!!!”
X6: (Remains quite and allows himself to be dragged away)
Jasmine: (Sighs sadly and sits down on the log, her head in her hands) “I suppose longing for those days is wishful thinking…”
Dogmeat: (Noses his way into sniffing the teenagers face, then he gives her plenty of puppy kisses)
Jasmine: (Gives the puppy boy some pets) “Heya Dogmeat…” (Kisses his forehead) “How sweet of you…”
Nick: (Comes up to his daughter with a beaming smile) “Jasmine? C’mon kiddo, or we’ll be late.”
Jasmine: (Raises her head with a quizzical expression) “Hmm? Late to what?”
Nick: (Holds his hand out to the girl) “For the party your family worked hard to set up for you, of course.”
Jasmine: (Gets a glimmer of hope in her eyes) “The… what?” (Takes his hand and follows him back to Sanctuary)
Nick: (Leads the kitten girl back to the town that’s decorated top to bottom with Halloween decor and bustling with festive energy)
Jasmine: (Gets misty eyed at all the hard work her family put into the party just for her) “Ohhh… How wonderful…”
Hancock: (Runs over at the “Hey the guest of honor! So little sister, what do ya wanna do first? Pumpkin carving?” (Gestures over at the pile of pumpkins he somehow got ahold of)
Codsworth: (Floats in with a plate of piping hot cookies) “Maybe the little miss would want a snack first?”
Deacon: (Butts in with a cheese eating grin) “Or maybe she wants play some games like pumpkin bowling?”
X6: (Enthusiastically honks the bike horn that Deacon gave him)
Curie and Mac: (Hold up a princes costume they managed to miraculously make) “You should change into your costume first!”
Danse: (Leans against a wall with a proud smile) “And don’t worry one bit about anything interrupting this little event, all is safe and secure for miles around. Promise.”
Jasmine: (Shyly hides behind Nick at all the attention she’s receiving, her little hands gripping his coat tightly)
Nick: (Gently nudges Jas to coax her back out) “It’s okay kitten- this is all for you. We just want ya to have a good time)
Jasmine: (Looks up at her dad with wide doe eyes, then at everyone else)
Everyone: (All smile happily at the girl, even X6 seems to have somewhat of a smile creeping on his face)
Jasmine: (Bursts into tears of joy) “I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!”
The Princess is making the same wishes this year for Halloween, and her family will serve Her Majesty faithfully.
Hancock: “The Halloween scares this year have been fun and all, but let’s not forget that the scariest thing on earth is when Dad calls your full name. If he ever does that- then know you best say your prayers and get on your knees to beg for forgiveness.”
Nick: “Mr John Hancock! Why in Sam Hill is the kitchen covered in smoke???”
Hancock: (Puts his hands in his pockets) “Chem lab gone wrong… sorry Papa Nick.”
Nick: (Jabs his finger to the person next to the ghoul) “Mr Deacon John Doe, you better not have been sneaking around last night spying on the old folks!”
Deacon: (Holds up his hands in surrender) “Hey- in my own defense, you never know who could be a big fat faker in disguise!”
Nick: “And Miss Piper Wright, how many times do I hafta tell you that posing as a Gunner with a temporary tattoo on your forehead is not a safe or even reliable way of getting the latest scoop?”
Piper: (Rubs her hands together) “Eeeeuuuuuhh… I was hoping that you would over look that…”
Jasmine: (Watching this all play out from the sidelines)
Nick: “Can’t hide from a Detective, Pipes. Especially one that cares dearly about you.”
Piper: “Aaaw… and sorry, Nicky.”
Nick: (Points to Cait next) “And you, Miss Cait.”
Cait: (Snaps her bubble gum in her mouth) “Hm?”
Nick: “I have a lot to say to you- but we’d be here all day. However, don’t think that I’ll forget this!”
Cait: (Actually shudders for once at his tone) “Okay, you rusted bucket of bolts that strangely enough I give a shit about.”
Jasmine: (Tilts her head slightly at all the drama)
Nick: (Now turns to his daughter) “Now Miss Rosalinda-Marie-Esperanza-Gloria-Pacita-Estrella-Valeria-Brookes-Romero-Valentine!”
Jasmine: (Drops her hands to her side with wide eyes at her full legal name)
Hancock: “Dang baby sister- that’s quite a mouthful.”
Deacon: (Raises a brow and whistles) “Is that your name or your address?”
Jasmine: “That’s my real and full name… My family talked my mother into it… She had a big message she wanted to put in my name…”
Cait: “Most people don’t even HAVE a last name to begin with. Like myself.”
Jasmine: “I know… I know- and I have THREE last names because of Nick’s that added to my other two.”
Deacon: “Wait- so why do we call you Jasmine?”
Jasmine: “Because people used to tease me with a song, saying that one day a boy will sing it to me in order to woo me.” (Starts dancing adorably as she sings) “Rosalinda, divina mujer hermosa. Que perfumas como aroma de jazmín.”
Nick: (Crosses his arms and taps his foot) “Don’t think that you’ll get away with this just by being cute.”
Jasmine: (Puts on puppy eyes) “But Daddy, am I cute???” 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Nick: (Heavy sigh) “Very cute indeed- but also you’re a very naughty troublemaker. What the hell were you thinking when you snuck away to take on a Super Mutant camp on your own?”
Jasmine: (Looks up in thought) “I was thinking… That I would give them all a scare of the lifetime for Halloween by slaughtering them one by one in a bloodied murder bath!”
Cait: “That-a-girl lass!!!” (High-fives the teen)
Nick: “For the love of God! Don’t encourage this!”
What’s sad is that the REAL reason Jasmine goes by “Jasmine” nowadays because she feels like she doesn’t deserve to be called “Rosalinda” anymore, or the rest of her full name for that matter.
Because her adoptive mother carefully and lovingly crafted her name, and Rosie believes she doesn’t have the right to that name anymore because she’s changed too much.
But then Nick calls her “Rosie” one day and she’s all like; 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 And then gradually she accepts being called by her real name again.
Rosa = Pink/Rose in Spanish
Linda = Pretty/Cute/Beautiful in Spanish
So put all that together, and her name means Pretty Pink Rose, hence why she’s referred to as a flower, specifically her favorite flower, pink roses.
Also here is the song she’s referring to again- just wait until Deacon figures out how to sing it or at least hum its tune. Then the teasing she thought she had escaped suddenly comes back to haunt her. 😂😂😂😂
Jasmine, Danse, and MacCready: (Camped out in an old building- awaiting Nicks return)
Jasmine: (Blinks up at Danse innocently from her sleeping bag) “I wanna tell you my secret now.”
Danse: (Sets down his gun he was tinkering with, turning to the teen) “Okay….”
MacCready: (Listens intently as well because Jas sounds serious)
Jasmine: (Takes a deep breath, her gaze moving to stare off at nothing in particular) (Whispering) “..…I see dead people.”
Danse: (Skeptical hum, raising a brow) “In your dreams?”
Jasmine: (Shakes her head)
Danse: (Remembers Dunwich Borers and begins to panic) “While you are awake?”
Jasmine: (Nod her head, a slow smile spreading on her sweet little face)
MacCready: (Hard swallow) “Dead people like…. In graves and coffins?”
Jasmine: (Makes a motion around her with one hand) “Walking around like regular people.”
Danse and MacCready: (Exchange fearful glances)
Jasmine: (Sighs heavily as she cozies up in her sleeping bag) “We don’t see each other- they only see what they want to see. They don’t know they are dead.”
Danse: (Clears his throat) “H-… How often do you see them?”
Jasmine: “All the time. They are everywhere.” (Eyes fixate on the spot next to her, giving a small wave to a unseen figure)
MacCready: (Internally screaming)
Jasmine: (Briefly glances up at her big brothers)“Word of advice- don’t go out in the dark when it’s 3am. That’s the witching hour, and they will find you.”
Danse: “Wait- what?!?”
Jasmine: (Cheerfully) “G’night!” (Pulls the blanket up over her and promptly closes her eyes, leaving the boys to seep in their panic)
[Later]
Nick: (Enters the building, mentally exhausted) “I’m back-….”
MacCready: (Frantically runs up to him) “Valentine! What have you been feeding your kid?!?! The heck is wrong with her?!?!”
Nick: (Tired Dad sigh as he folds his arms) “What did my girl do this time?”
MacCready: (Incoherent rambling as he paces the room)
Nick: (Raises a brow) “Danse?”
Danse: (Stays quiet for a few moments) “….Have you ever considered hiring a priest to preform an exorcism on your daughter?”
Jasmine: (Appears behind the two men, a smile on her face) (Creepily) “Why? I was not lying to you- I was just trying to help prevent a tragic accident from transpiring.”
MacCready: (Nearly poops his pants as his soul leaves his body then and there)
Danse: (Jumps out a window in fright)
Nick: (Pinches the bridge of his nose in exasperation) “Dear God give me strength…..”
(Wait until she tells them about La Llorona)
It’s that time of year again!!! Jas scares everyone with her spooky stories!!!
But she’s so cute- that she gets away with all of it.
She still sees dead people, and casually chats with them, which scares everyone else, but Nick is just a tired old man about it.
Jasmine: (Does a ghostly call around a campfire) “¡Ayyyy miiiissss hijooooos! ¿Dónde están mis hijoooooosss?”
MacCready: (Puts his hands over his ears) “StOoOoOoOp!”
Jasmine: (Has her hands out in front of her as she moves around) “¡Quiero mis hijooooos! ¿Dónde están mis hijos?”
Piper: “I have NO idea what you’re saying, kid- but it’s freaking me out!!!”
Danse: (Is as white as a ghost at his spot by the campfire)
X6: (Says nothing while shuffling on his own two feet, hands in his pockets)
MacCready: “Can’t you just… Tone it down a notch or two?”
Jasmine: (Throws up her hands) “It’s Halloween!!! It’s suppose to freak you out!!! That’s the point!!!”
Piper: “After all the spooky scares we pulled on each other during the prank war- we all are a bit tender!!! So give us a break! Now we have to worry about some vengeance filled Mexican lady coming after us!”
Jasmine: (Rolls her eyes) “¡Cobardes! Y’all are a bunch of sissies! I’ve been hearing this story since I was born and so had most of the kids my age in my neighborhood.”
MacCready: “And I’m pretty sure you kids weren’t living off a gallon of coffee and three hours of sleep all the time!”
Deacon: (Comes out from behind a bush dressed in a white nightgown and a long dark wig) “OoOoOoOoOoOo!!!” (Slowly moves towards the campfire, the smoke machine he set up earlier adding extra dramatic flare)
Jasmine: (Points and gasps) “¡La Llorona!”
MacCready, Danse, and Piper: (Scream bloody murder in sync)
X6: (Stands there stock still as his soul silently leaves his body)
Nick: (Comes running over) “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?”
Everyone: (Dives behind RoboDad for protection)
Jasmine: (Runs up and puts her arms around his waist, staring up at him innocently) “Papi- La Llorona wants to take me away and drown me! So you hafta protect me!”
Nick: (Heavy sigh as he picks the teen girl up) “Not the vengeance ghost lady again- haven’t you told enough of those scary stories?”
Jasmine: (Huffs) “No- I haven’t told everyone about El Cucuy yet.”
Nick: (Glances behind him at the trembling adults) “Maybe hold off the scary stories until after Christmas…”
Deacon: (Waves his hands around some more) “OoOoOoOoOo!”
VEGGIETALESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Everybody’s gotta baby kangaroo! Yours is pink but mine is bluuuuuuueeee~! 🎶💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 🎶
Falloutober day 6 | Goodneighbor with @falloutober
A redesign of Magnolia while Nick tried to get the drunken mayor away from the stage after he tried to do some tricks for the audiences.
THIS is doing wonders for my Nick/Magnolia ship.
Like get OFF the stage, Hancock! The lovely lady is trying to put on a performance, and you’re ruining it!!!
And it’s almost as though Maggie is throwing Nick a certain look over her shoulder, her valiant detective is so protective of her. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Question, since you got me into the idea of nick and magnolia: how do you think the other companions (and Jas) would react if they did get together?
Question answered for ya anon!!! I believe you are referring to this recent set of screen shots that I took of the couple, but I also made a quick little writing about them a few months back. I’ve got some ship names written down, but idk how these things work plz send help I love these two together but don’t know what to do with them.
I wrote this as Nick and Magnolia announcing to the companions that they are now an official couple after they danced around each other for a few months without knowing that their fondness for the other was mutual. (For a detective Nick was really bad at picking up signals)
Nick Valentine: Not sure why someone as beautiful and talented as Magnolia would choose him, a battered up and broken toaster, to be her lover. She’s the kind of woman who can have anyone one she wants in the world, it makes him feel a bit insecure. But after some assurance from his new ladylove that he’s “man enough” for her and she’s not looking for someone “better and human”, he grows more confident in their relationship. He’s the one clapping the loudest and proudest in the crowd at the Third Rail after each of her songs.
Jasmine: Overly ecstatic that her Dad found himself a loving partner who cares about him just as much as she and Ellie does. The girl is more than willing to talk and bond with Magnolia over anything from stories to games, opening up to her quicker than she does with most. Her entire face lights up when she and Nick stop by to visit Mags or she comes by the office for dinner and to stay the night. She ends up slipping here and there by referring to Magnolia as Mama on occasion, which everyone finds absolutely adorable.
Magnolia: Always had her eyes on Nick from the moment she first saw him march into the Third Rail hot on a missing persons case. He stuck out to her, not because he’s a mechanical synth but because of his kind demeanor and overall gentlemanly personality. She found herself drawn even more to the detective after watching him interact with his daughter, the soft tenderness he had while speaking to her, then the firm protectiveness he got when he had to defend her. (Mags really saw him be a father to his daughter and went, “Ah yes, boyfriend material.”)
Piper Wright: Laughs a “Finally” under her breath when she first hears the news. Being a reporter and close friends with the two, she picked up on their budding chemistry pretty early on. She had to start nudging the topic of Nick and Magnolia becoming a couple when it became plainly and almost painfully obvious that there was attraction, even speculating with Jas on the subject and making plans to get the two to interact more.
Codsworth: It brings a metaphorical tear to his three eyes when he hears that Nick is courting Magnolia and he sees them waking hand-in-hand. One of the things he misses about the old world is watching new couples walk with their arms linked down the sidewalk or through the park, enwrapped in each others eyes and their young, blooming love.
Preston Garvey: Claps Nick on the back and gives the pair a hearty congratulations, wishing them nothing less than good fortune and strength to get through any hard times that may come. It’s comforting to know that folks are still able to come around and find each other in the Wasteland, he’ll be the one to help make sure it’s safer for more people to settle down.
Curie: Claps her hands and cheers with delight when the good news comes her way and she watches them come by with their arms linked together. She goes on a rambling on the positive effects love can have on a persons overall physical and mental health, the happy couple smiling at her rambling and patiently listening to every word.
Cait: Says that it’s about damn time those two became a couple! Even a blind mole rat could tell that they both took a fancying for each other, and she almost outright yelled “just kiss already” on several different occasions when the pair looked moments away from doing so.
Deacon: Proudly proclaims that he knew from the start that Maggie and Nicky would eventually get together and that he even did some influencing to get the two to bond. He’s like their fairy godmother in a way, made sure their relationship stayed on the right path.
Danse: (Post Blind Betrayal) Congratulates the new couple with a sincere smile. Nick had been one of his biggest support when he had to come to terms with his new identity as a synth, despite the fact that the former paladin hadn’t exactly always been friendly to him. He can only hope that one day that he can find his special someone to call his own.
Hancock: Couldn’t be happier for his good friend the old circuitboard and jazz singer when he sees them get all lovey-dovey with each other. He jokingly pokes Nick on his shoulder with his finger and question if he’s planning on stealing away Goodneighbors sweetheart from under his nose and leave the Third Rail without its main source of entertainment.
MacCready: They kind of remind him of when he and Lucy first got together. Except that he isn’t a badass synth detective who goes around the Commonwealth doing good and making his family and partner proud, but his Lucy was lovely and beautiful just like Magnolia is. He just hopes the new couple can have more time together than he and Lucy did, it’s very precious and can slip away before your eyes. (I’m not crying, you’re crying!)
X6: At first he assumes that both synths are malfunctioning when he hears about their relationship and sees for himself that they are indeed walking hand-in-hand and referring to each other as their lover. It’s a bit difficult for him to understand the concept that two synths can indeed have real romantic feelings for others. He comes around soon enough once he observes several occasions where the two interacted with each other with affection. Besides, Nick already has shown he loves his daughter dearly, so who can say that he can’t love Mags?
Strong: Bro doesn’t care.
Dogmeat: Notices that his favorite synth detective has started spending more time with the nice lady with the pretty voice, and they are very happy when they are together. He can sense that they have something special between them, and he loves seeing them so happy! It makes him jump up on his hind legs and wags his tail with barks of joy. He wants to join in and will leap in-between them while they are walking side-by-side, bombing them with puppy kisses!
Moral Of The Story: “Oh come on, just one little kiss! I've had all my shots!” Is one of the worst yet funniest pickup lines ever. (Please don’t try this while drunk, and probably not while sober either)
It’s late at night but I’m giggling like a schoolgirl over this shipppppppp!!!!
For my Big Bang fic I’ve gotten to writing more about Nick and Mags as a couple, but I really should draw them together or get some more screenshots to satisfy my craves to see these two together!!!!
I really do think they make a fine pair. And any excuse to flesh out Magnolia even more so she’s not just some eye candy on stage is a win!!!!
(I just KNOW that a certain someone is gonna scold me tomorrow for still being up so late…. Sorry Tumblr Mama 🥺💖)
