02.02.2026 00:30 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Hell yeah! honestly I love that the show is shipbaiting this a bit because I actually think it's completely possible we *could* get him shoving her against a wall and looming over her all intently, growling something about her being a killer again. And it wouldn't go further, but it'd be hot af
02.02.2026 00:21 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0truuue I feel like when he does get to see that kind of reminder of how she IS following in his footsteps we'll see all five stages of grief flicker across his face in an instant, followed by the lesser-known sixth stage: Horny
02.02.2026 00:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And he was sooo INTO it too!! "Truth be told I like what they're sayin'." Yeah I bet you do ๐คฃ๐คฃ
01.02.2026 23:52 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0YEEEEESSS. I am such a sucker for one character simultaneously corrupting and empowering another (see Sparrabeth and Hannigram, there are trends in my 2+ decades of shipping ๐). Like it IS cute that she definitely HAS softened him some but it's also hella fun that he's turning her vicious.
01.02.2026 23:38 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0It really really is. They're just such a sexily balanced mix of fucked up and sweet haha
01.02.2026 23:28 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0shuffling different pairs and combos and playing with the idea of what they would be like together is always so much fun! but yeah Ghoulcy definitely has that special sauce lol
01.02.2026 23:15 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Some parts of it remind me of the olden days when I was a teenager obsessed with Sparrabeth lmao. And I fully expect to be disappointed the same way this go round. But I'm willing to be swayed to shipping Max & Lucy too, if they ever get enough screentime together to make it interesting ๐

It was mostly this video but also a few different videos from the same channel. I feel like this is the kind of thing that either does productive magic to your brain or drives you up the wall lmao.

#ghoulcy
Ba-dump, Cooper?
#FalloutSpoilers #ghoulcy
Genuinely, the first time Cooper actually calls her โLucyโ being when heโs betraying her and his eyes are filled with tears and he looks SO ASHAMED really hits like fanfic
Like this is a 80k slow burn vibe you feel me????
I never get this in shows!?
anyway don't get me wrong I know this isn't going to be canon and to whatever degree it is being hinted at it's just shipbait. i have walked this road many a time. but yummy yummy non-canon ship nonetheless.
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Both the betrayal and her response to it being so understandable that I honestly don't even think reconciliation will be all that hard? (I'd say the impaling was largely accidental ๐ ) the way the credits cut to "You Always Hurt the One You Love?"?? Hello??
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The delicious pain? Him being so enamoured watching her gun down the Kings and then her casually throwing out "they're just ghouls, right?" OW. Him having to get wasted when he knows he's gonna betray her? The way he touches her back when she's throwing up, how he's so gentle in his regret?
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And then the fondness? the way she looks at him and the music swells when he blows up the Legion camp? "I'm not sure 'friend' is the right word"?! the fact he actually opens up enough to tell her he's looking in management vaults for his family? The bickering and the snark and the evident affection?
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0she bites off his trigger finger so he cuts off hers and sews it onto his own hand?!?!? that's some Hannigram type shit. And that whole scene, with the lassoing and "there you are, you little killer"? When you've been in the kind of fandoms I have for as long as I have, that's basically sex. ๐
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0and then she steps out into the real world and she doesn't know it yet but now the guy who represented the idealized version of the world is the one begrudgingly guiding her through the harsh realities?
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0she probably grew up watching his movies, his own portrayal of no-nuance silver-screen black-and-white morality baked into her understanding of the world?
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 1But Ghoulcy? the constant parallels? the way every cruelty he inflicts on her can be read as him simultaneously lashing out against his own former naivete while also trying to speedrun her toughening up for her own safety?
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0i don't care what anyone says, #Ghoulcy is making me feel some kind of way that few het ships manage, because way too often straight ships just feel too...obvious, a given. (Fallout show spoilers in thread)
31.01.2026 19:14 โ ๐ 11 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0listening to them on repeat has made me take down my Christmas tree, clean my room, sort my laundry, and write 1500 words and counting when normally i would have just been bedrotting and doomscrolling, and that should get me an ADHD diagnosis ๐
