2.) Do they have any daily rituals? edward has a regular workout routine. i don't have specifics yet because... it hasnt come up and i dont know much about exercise and i'm lazy... but
small letter
i have a headcanon that it's hard for ghouls to keep muscle mass (because ferals are So Much More emaciated), so for edward to be That Beefy, he has to work to keep it
small letter
in fallout, he misses going to the gym. on the barge, he's going to be relieved that he has access to a full gym again
small letter
3.) Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often? oh. that was the next question. DSMKFD
small letter
uh, see above
pharadyne
gym bunny edward
small letter
he definitely does at least a little bit daily, with more time put into it on slow days
small letter
which means he's probably going to be working out on the barge. he needs more passive hobbies
small letter
7.) Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time edward is not very good at wasting time
small letter
since he's responsible for... like... literally anything the cabots need doing
small letter
and the matriarch of the family is high maintenance bc she doesnt seem to have lowered her bar much since the fuckin apocalypse
small letter
and his boss has blinders on like crazy
small letter
and his boss' sister likes to just fuck off into the city for extended periods of time without telling anyone anything
small letter
he's used to being busy and always having things on the to-do list
small letter
edward looks at someone who is wasting time and is like
small letter
1. cant relate
small letter
2. kind of jealous
small letter
i imagine he misses TV. i feel like it was probably his main source of passive entertainment
small letter
16.) Biggest and smallest long term goal?
small letter
gonna make this barge related bc... its easier to answer, honestly
small letter
his smallest long term goal is probably just "adjusting"
small letter
except he wants that to be a short term goal
small letter
he wants to be used to things fast so he can handle it in a more, like, put-together manner
small letter
his biggest long term goal is related to his deal, which his goal there really isnt like, the completion of his deal
small letter
but more making sure it actually works and without a stupid genie catch or something
small letter
he's described his intention of being there as "scouting" and its true
small letter
he kind of looked at the admiral's deal offer and the explanation about the barge and everything and was like
small letter
"jack would want to jump into this headfirst"
small letter
"[longest sigh in existence]"
small letter
(jack being his boss)
small letter
edward himself doesnt really... want for a whole lot? but he knows jack does. and they just went through a major crisis and jack's family paid a huge price for it
small letter
so he's like, "i think i can guess what jack might make a deal for if this was offered to him. but i dont trust it for shit"
small letter
so he wants to feel things out, figure out the pitfalls and the catches and the bullshit, so that even if jack isnt ever offered a deal (which... unless someone picks him up, thats definitely not gonna happen), edward can safely make one on his behalf (after discussing it with him)
small letter
34.) Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?) this one is fun
small letter
godric said that honesty coupled with vulnerability is important as a warden, but that 'clearly you arent gonna have a hard time with that'
small letter
but that is so................. actually not true
small letter
LOL
small letter
edward uses his professionalism wall as a self-defense mechanism as well as just... as... a professional persona
small letter
edward isnt afraid of being honest. but he is very cautious
small letter
being emotionally open in a way that makes him feel vulnerable is... not something he has had a lot of practice in
small letter
not for the past. two centuries
small letter
he's very good at not really coming across as a private person
small letter
he wouldnt even describe himself as private
small letter
but he really appreciates his privacy being respected, starts to get annoyed faster when he feels that it isnt, and puts a lot of attention to respecting other peoples' privacy
small letter
its definitely a thing fr him
small letter
*for
small letter
37.) Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making? definitely analytical
small letter
he's still human and definitely makes opinions/decisions informed by his decisions? but he tries not to make them solely based on them
small letter
he's very pragmatic and cares a lot about results, and also likes to maintain self-control
small letter
so he kind of takes it as a point of personal pride to tackle things as logically as he can
small letter
(gonna crash soon but still open for these!)

aight here we go
small letter
18.) Favorite beverage? man now i have to think about this. i know, kind of, what his alcohol preferences are, but favorite drink, period... hm...
small letter
i feel like edward is a nuka classic kind of guy?
small letter
like yeah we have all these new flavors in fo4 because of nuka-world and all, and i can see him going for a nuka cherry on occasion, cuz, yknow, cherry cola is sometimes just the thing you need
small letter
but edward strikes me as the type who sticks with the Original Flavor, yknow
small letter
also, as far as beer goes, he's a gwinnett kind of guy. yes, it is 100% because i named my tumblr rp blog after it. no one can stop me
small letter
42.) Hobbies? edward needs more hobbies
small letter
he mentioned to larry that he's not much of a comic book guy, and i think it's because it takes, like, fifteen minutes to flip through a comic
small letter
so theyre good when he's waiting on something but otherwise he's like "ok im done. now what"
small letter
the one (1) decoration he has in his room in cabot house is a captain cosmos poster
small letter
small letter
like seriously edward's room is EMPTY. i found screenshots yesterday so i'll post them later but. this is it. this is his single decoration
small letter
so he's clearly a bit of a sci fi geek
small letter
i imagine on the barge, he's going to end up watching movies, because holy shit he hasnt been able to do that in a long time, and then start poking the library. i dont think he really knows any more what his reading preferences are
𝙹𝚄𝚂𝚃 𝙳𝙾𝙽'𝚃
they do a lot of movie nights! and Larry's bestest bestest friend in the entire world is a former screen queen and he likes quietly showing her off c:
small letter
omg, god bless
small letter
45.) Superstitions or views on the occult? rafe, you picked this one so i can throw my head back and laugh, didnt you
small letter
it is funny because of the cabots' immortality serum and the ties to the eldritch bullshit which is among the top superstitious nonsense in fallout. though edward hasnt really dealt with that side of it so he doesnt know yet
small letter
but: edward never actually reveals what he thinks about the whole "non-human precursor" thing. or jack's insistence that its TOTALLY NOT ALIENS, GUYS, STOP ASKING
small letter
fanon generally is on the side of "edward likes to poke fun at jack about the aliens" but i am not sure yet
small letter
but this is aliens and the question is supposed to be about occult/ghosts/magic and stuff
small letter
i feel like edward is reflexively a bit of a skeptic, which is something he then actively tries to keep in check because he feels like he, of all people, has no leg to stand on when it comes to being like
small letter
"lol yeah THAT isnt real"
small letter
he works for an immortal family and he's walking beef jerky
small letter
he cooks two-headed deer for lunch
small letter
he has NO room to judge
small letter
10.) Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such? this one always boggles me when it comes to edward, because, like... he doesnt have any?
small letter
it's very confusing?
small letter
i never play characters like this?
small letter
like, i'm sure he does have some amount of ptsd in relation to the whole Becoming A Ghoul process, because theres no way that doesnt leave a mental mark, yknow
small letter
but he's had a lot of time to process through things and he... like... apparently? has?
small letter
i dont think he recognizes the Ghoul Process ptsd for what it is, though. he's just like "yeah, that sucked. that was not enjoyable. no, im not going to talk about the details. its gross and its personal and i dont really want to think about it that much"
small letter
"anyone would have some hangups about that. its not a big deal"
small letter
24.) Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?
small letter
edward 100% did not go to college, and im pretty sure he barely scraped through high school
small letter
(and might have had some truancy issues but anyway)
small letter
he generally feels like the stuff that's Really intellectual is kind of beyond him?
small letter
he is much better with things he can get his hands on and work with directly
small letter
so like, honestly, engineering / machinery / etc? yeah, he can process that easier
small letter
i think he has a liiittle bit of chemistry knowledge in terms of how it relates to cooking, but he probably doesnt think of it as chemistry
small letter
he's a very action-oriented hands-on kind of guy and he knows it, and he also... never learned how to study
small letter
he's very smart but he would need someone to sit down with him for that
small letter
36.) What makes them feel guilty? he isnt a soft touch, and he doesnt really care about other people's opinions? but he definitely feels like an ass when he accidentally kicks someone where it hurts
small letter
which is partly why he's so attentive
small letter
he also has some lingering guilt stuff related to his dad, and some of the shenanigans he got into when he was a Wild Youth
small letter
(which i havent decided details on but know, vaguely, that there was definitely some crime vs people who couldnt really do much about it involved. stealing/breaking stuff and hurting small businesses, that kind of thing)
small letter
he deals with guilt in a very proactive way though, because, again, thats just kind of how he is
small letter
he's the type who will try to make things right / clear the air / he isnt too proud to apologize with words or deeds / etc
small letter
which his pragmatic side also likes, because people holding grudges, or hurt feelings getting in the way, can lead to problems
