the meta on tumblr discussing how “the ghoul” persona is cooper howard doing his final performance to shield his true self from the horrors of the wasteland and how it’ll be Lucy to break through the act and meet the real Cooper Howard - yes YES YESSSSSSS 👌
a recount of my experience last night watching the ddba set!
- saw the cast singing happy birthday to Deborah!
- saw scene of Foggy on the ground and Karen tending to him, later saw the blood on Elden’s shirt 😔
- briefly saw the indoor fight scene of dd and bullseye in Josie’s
Just once I want to read a summer romance novel about someone who quits their city job to run a lighthouse in a remote location only to realize the single ship they’re monitoring is the one that carries souls to the underworld and hey, the captain is kind of hot
love seeing the birth of ship names in real time - tbt to when nashuri was between namuri and seaprincess
now we got vaultghoul, ghoulcy being thrown around, i wonder which one will stick!
ooo “a naïveté out of convenience” - lucy n the ghoul may be road trip buddies in s2 but i know he’s gonna SNAP at her (or maybe poke her some more 🤭) bc he’s still processing his unresolved feelings abt vaultec n what it did to his family!
i love hearing walton explain ghoucy's dynamic and why the ghoul acts that way with lucy, not bc he wants to be violent but because he's so used to the violence around him (ep1 he was stuck in a cemetery for decades being chopped to pieces once a year)

#vaultghoul
had the pleasure of meeting Jon Bernthal again today! got to talk to him about Daredevil Born Again. He told me he hated what they were doing with DD before the whole rewrite, and he actually turned down the project but now that Karen is back (amongst other things) he’s back in👀
it was nice being here with u all nashuri fandom - but with the news it’s difficult to engage in the fandom anymore 😔 thank you to all the writers/artists/fellow fans, will def cherish the short couple of months we had. let’s support all victims who come forward 🙏
me, telling my 2018 reylo fan abt the current events: ya so disasterisms and enterprisingly BOTH got book deals (crazy right!) but enterprisingly squandered her book debut by revealing herself to be a big! fucking! hater! and even review bombing disasterisms debut novel 💀
The Booktwt-Reylo United Front should know the review bomber was friends with a big Reylo author for years and asked her for an endorsement only to secretly rate her recently debuted original fantasy book 2 stars with all the fake accounts. It's betrayal on a personal level.
also, realizing the vaultghoul/ghoulcy s2 road trip is giving me a small taste of what rey/kylo’s dynamic could have been if rey took his hand at the end of the last jedi
@zarzamorita
“honor of being assassinated by namor next” IM SICK. also - this was in the OG script so I am SO EXCITED WHAT OTHER DELETED SCENES WE’LL GET AHHH
one twin in talokan, one twin in wakanda, they somehow meet when the wakanda twin is on a cruise summer camp out at sea and talokan twin encounters the cruise out in the ocean (little mermaid vibes lmao)
when coop does something heroic for the good of the community (will likely be tied to Lucy’s influence) and he sees people look back at him as a hero for the first time in years >>>>>
also - how much of his behavior is something he came to from within - and how much of it is giving up and living down to expectations once he looked different and people started seeing no good in him?
you can't be a hero with his face. the audience won't let you.
no photos bc security goes up to you if they catch you filming, just standing n watching is fine tho! also, they film LATE and it’s cold. it’s been great to see the behind the scenes n I CANNOT wait for the show next year
also I wonder if there’s a sense of regret that if he didn’t stand on his values, he could have been safely kept away in the vaults, ignorant of the realities of the wasteland, just like Lucy… ((MIRRORS I TELL YOU))
and idk my way of coping with the potential of a Karen / Foggy death is just thinking abt the multiverse 🤷 there’s another timeline out there where better writing prevails and we don’t need to murder key characters to evoke emotion or stakes for matt.
what's your fandom core memory?
something negative or positive that you'll take to your grave or just something that set the tone of your fandom experience🤭

@ohmao_sama
Thanks for confirming and checking with the library!! I booked my visit so I can read it in person - so excited to check it out and discuss further!
new big brain theory: karen / foggy death sequence is Matt’s reoccurring nightmare (maybe evoked by a king pin telling him if you don’t partner with me we can’t protect the people we care abt!!)
@ohmao_sama
you can read an early draft of the script at a library in LA!
@guessingdame
shared details of what someone they knew read (since note taking is allowed lol) but is trying to be mindful of the libraries policies on how much you can publicly share
only solace is that one thing mcu excels at at continuity so I trust feige and coogler to AT LEAST keep whatever plot threads they choose to follow for this two to make sense
grateful that s2 had those six of crow/crooked kingdom scenes bc at least I can rest knowing I got 2 see the kaz v pekka showdown and all the kanej content…but no mourners no funerals…will miss u six of crow spinoff 😔
thinking about kuwei coming back to ketterdam, finding out kaz renamed the emerald palace to the silver six and just going "there were seven of us. i was there too", aware that it doesn't matter, that he wasn't a person to them, just a tool, that he will never be part of anything
given how fucked the canon already is - will the ghoulcy/vaultghoul shippers go thru the inner fandom discourse on writing darkfic ?? will check in a couple of months 🤪
just learned by chance that my other favorite reylo author (enterprisingly) is now going to be a published author as well !!!! look at far all these authors have come 😭
recently watched heat a couple of weeks ago and it’s soared to the top of my fave films, hearing the rumors that Adam driver might be in the prequel has me so hyped!!
like forreal s3 finale was so silly bc bullseye if u just brought a gun Fisk n Vanessa would have been dead!! like what were you doing throwing cutlery like that!! he ended up with his ass beat and a broken back bc he wasn’t being serious!
fallout s2 writers here’s a list of endearments coop can have for lucy: darling, sugar, cupcake, sweet pea, sugarplum, babydoll, buttercup, sunshine, HAZEL EYES, honey, bunny, pumpkin, pudding, princess—
@haIadriel
it has a game where u can romance multiple companions (including the drug addict ghoul one) and people are on here like “hOW dARe yOu shIp this” - the literal creators wouldn’t actually care who we are shipping so why should we care abt ur opinion 🙄
kastle fallout au. Frank’s family being taken/killed a la FO4, whereas Karen is trying to find her brother (not dad since her dad sucks) for a FO3 vibe and they intersect. have to take care of/I can do it myself collide.
saw someone say that max might be committing some war crimes next season and honestly i love a conflicted character. while i hope he doesn’t fully break bad, I think he’s going to be facing some BIG decisions next season with his new role as a knight
Mark my words, Maximus’ arc in the future of Fallout is going to look very much like a combination of these two.
Because I just remembered that the ending is very much playing into dynamics we haven’t touched since New Vegas. I think this is our New Vegas sequel.
@zarzamorita
ooh yes it’s the script that got posted on Reddit earlier this month! It’s the July 2021 draft of the script that had all the deleted namor/shuri scenes
v new to trying to engage with fandom communities, but what I rly liked about the nashuri fandom is how diverse (and international!!) the community is. seeing the thai nashuri fans meeting up warms my heart
ok bingo card made me think for us sydcarmy lovers: best compromise we can get is the perpetual will they / won’t they that everyone makes fun of for the two AND the soulmatism bond on screen
so much material fanfic will be able to work with im hyped
came across a tiktok where the general stance is: “ur not thinking critically of the show if ur calling kendall roy baby girl or shiv a girl boss” and I feel like these people are missing the IRONY laced in these statements when likely gen z-ers make these jokes
ty ayo for introducing me to a movie abt a romance b/w 2 chefs…it will both grow my sydcarmy delusions even stronger when it will be my coping film if sydcarmy is not realized in canon 😔✌️
syd / carmy discourse high key feels like is the

black and blue vs white and gold. shoutout to the writers for making two characters relationship dynamic that fucking compelling

revisiting this now that I watched the show…we need more cooper / max moments in the show, specifically them bonding over power armor ❤️
and coop gets be Lucy’s mentor figure so does MAX!!
undead storm troopers for ep 9 would’ve gone so hard omg
also for shits n giggles imagine an undead smoke fighting too - would be a gr8 way to shut up the “rian killed snoke too soon!!” crowd
You know, if Kylo Ren had gone to see the Night Sisters at the beginning of TROS instead, and they revealed they were going to summon the spirit of Palpatine with actual dark magic, then the movie would have been 50% less dumb immediately and 100% cooler.
@ThayIsTired
omg thank god!! I watched punisher late in the game and all I saw was past discussions on Reddit abt how “karen is like a sister to frank” and I just assumed the majority of the fandom + the creators were moving that way 😭
