So. It seems that is fans of Fallout Girls have been thrown another curveball. Yes, I know it happened 2 weeks or so ago, but still!

Luna, Trixie, and Sonata are now in the Wasteland. And now I can only guess that they will be taking part in the DLC's and other sidequests.

I can only imagine Luna's reaction to the girls now, with many of them suffering from guilt or trauma, and one of them a full-fledged vampire.

This is going to be one hell of a reunion.

For those of you who've been around since the beginning of this blog, you likely remember the first stories I talked about were Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory. I briefly said that, while Rainbow Factory had some decent lore and gore, it was more or less just another 'Mane 6 gone bad' grimdark story to be read, and then dismissed. And while I know that it's become something of a brony icon alongside Cupcakes, my opinion held firm.

Throughout the entirety of the story, there are many instances similar to the Honest Hearts choices that I think make the story weaker, or less strong at the very least. Things like going theatrical with the Think Tank, rather than turning them against Dr. Klein, to even outright ignoring Ulysses during the confrontation in the silo.

This is a story that, quite frankly, I'm not sure how to describe, or at least I don't know where I stand. On the one hand, this is a very well written story that has earned the praise it's gotten. But on the other, this story has so many things that just..... frustrate me. I'm sure that all my problems are just subjective, and possibly amplified from other points of view, but I just can't ignore them. But, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Wow. There is a lot to unpack here.

Those of you who have been with me a while know that I have talked about the author TDR in my Author of Honor series. (Note: start that up again)
You likely also know that I had been putting this series off because I needed a break from long stories for a while. Well, I finally read it and....

I shouldn't have waited. Because once I started, I had to finish it.

So! It seems that Applejack is going through an arc at the moment! Specifically, a little PTSD from her fight with Horrigan. So, giving her the chance to do a quest on her own terms would give her a break from all that. Hopefully.

(Short, I know. Not really a lot to say here.)

Throughout all the DLC's, Sunset, Pinkie, and Fluttershy are absent. And that begs the question: why? Why are they excluded from these events? Well, the answer is rather simple: they've each had their own arcs already, or are currently going through their own arcs.

We now come to the final DLC- Operation: Anchorage. This DLC is kind of odd in that it doesn't have a real gimmick aside from being a simulation, and thus feels kind of boring compared to the others. So that begs the question: why am I choosing Rarity or Adam for this? In all honesty, it's simple order of elimination. Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Twilight have already had their DLC's assigned, and Sunset, Fluttershy and Pinkie have their own reasons I will discuss later as to why

Of all the DLC's, Mothership Zeta was made for Twilight in a similar way that Point Lookout was made for Applejack. Twilight has long been seen as the nerd or science geek of both groups, Mane 6 and Humane 7, so it would make sense for her to be forced into a science fiction situation such as being abducted by aliens, while still being smart enough to get out.

So why should Applejack go to Point Lookout? Well, consider the reason you go there in the game: to convince a lost daughter to get back to her mother. Of all the Main Seven, Applejack seems the most family-centric. Plus, I feel like she would work best with the swampy landscape like none of the other girls could.
