it’s not that being in a wasteland would suck, it’s that every day, you are constantly reminded you were born into a world where you had no chance. i mean the wasteland was already dreary, and somehow your parents managed to fuck to create you? statistically you’re a fucking anomaly unless you’re from a vault. but still somehow your mother had nine months of adequate food, shelter, and water that resulted in you. and somehow you survived all those years. all so you can live in a place that bares lacerated scars of the past?
physical proof that god has abandoned you, and the sun shines down only to bake your world to death, irradiated everything, turning you to living sludge. you are born into the world, with barely much of a life, and you are born into a world where you will experience, very likely, an extreme amount more pain and suffering than if you just hadn’t been alive.
it is impossible to step a foot in any direction without seeing some prewar reminder of anything, a reminder of what other people fucked up for you. and you still persist.
you still persist. despite all the rationale for not, or for meeting some accidental end, you still persist despite all odds.

yk you don’t HAVE to forgive your parents for anything (i’m reminding myself) the things they do don’t have to be excused (this is for me) you don’t have to forgive them because they raised (or didn’t raise) you (i am yelling this to myself)
doomed yaoi analysis does really well on the tumblrsphere
read one doomed yaoi fanfic where it was arcade cannon and a low intelligence courier. the courier would abuse mentats (i could never abuse mentats i love mentats) to mentally “keep up” with the courier. something something but arcade gannon was letting the courier abuse drugs because he loved the conversation and the stimulation. it was killing both, gannon from guilt and the courier from drug abuse, and gannon just. gosh it was so good and i think it rlly highlighted parts of arcade.
especially since in the wasteland once arcade finds someone that actually sticks to him i think he would be hesitant and horrified of letting them go. he says he’s boring but finding someone that doesn’t believe it, once he lets them stay i don’t know if he could get over that.
i can’t remember if he knew the courier started taking mentats as a way to keep up (met them in the middle of the abuse?) but he found out eventually and i can imagine him just. being so torn. on one hand you have his dream man, smart, funny, withstanding of his own perceived negative traits, but he’s faking half of it, or being lonely again. how do you to learn to sleep on your own again, after the all consuming ache you managed to avoid comes back again? at what point can you no longer allow your loved one to abuse themselves?
