Got Told At Lunch "you Feel Like Tumblr Incarnate" And I Had To Tell Them I've Been Here For 13 Years

How much hi jinks would occur if you Plastic Man and Metamorpho started a bet over who could be the better version of the other person, not in the Freaky Friday kind of way, but in the role reversal. Plastic Man shift himself to look and act like Metamorpho, and vise-versa. Side note: Who wins the bet in your opinion?

Me. I win the bet.

If I understand correctly, you’re saying what if Rex and Plas pretended to be each other for a day? They both maintain the cover for a while, though folks start to notice that “Metamorpho” is only red, yellow, and white, and only stretches. Rex doesn’t ham it up quite the same way Plas does, but on looks alone Rex probably wins it. I imagine Plas probably spends the whole time talking that way someone does when they’re doing an unflattering impression of somebody-

“THIS IS A REAL GROOVY SHINDIG, OL’ KID, YA DIG?”

Hang on a sec, did you trick me into writing fanfic?!

TF2 Headcanons: Game Balance & The Gunslinger

So, let’s get right to it.

Gunslinger:

Obviously, the RED Engineer invented it first with the help of the RED Medic. The BLU Engineer never asked his team’s Medic for help due to the rocky relationship the entire BLU team has, so he could never figure out how to bridge the gap between man and machine. BLU Engie just found the blueprints for the Gunslinger design at the front of his door one day, complete with notes from the RED Medic and Engineer on how the wiring and circuits could function as nerves. BLU Engie immediately took to building it, but ran into a problem once he finished.

How would he remove his hand?

The RED Medic had helped his team’s Engie with removing the hand precisely so that the nerves would connect with the wiring of the machine. But there was no way the BLU Engineer would ever ask his Medic, considering how snappy he got. So BLU Engineer went into the day’s round of fighting, only to be absolutely obliterated by an Ubered RED Medic and Battle Engineer. After the humiliating defeat, BLU Engineer just says screw it and slices his hand clean off.

He, of course, ended up with an infection that forced him to go to the BLU Medic for help, who did his best to try and fix the problem. It was pretty hard to fix completely without regrowing his entire hand back, so he ended up with constant hand pain.

But how did BLU Engineer end up with the blueprints at his door?

Well that leads us to our next topic…

Game Balance:

The Administrator’s job is to make both teams as balanced as possible. She was the one who proposed the idea of clones to Blutarch, which Blutarch screwed up with his desire to make the BLU team superior to the RED team. If she could, the Administrator would definitely make a new set of clones for the BLU team, but cloning people is extremely expensive. So the Administrator tries to make the game more balanced, by giving all weapons that the RED team invents to the BLU team, and taking weapons that have too much power.

The RED team often works together to try and make new weapons that will make fighting easier, but overnight, the weapon will either disappear or be “nerfed” (aka components that make it too overpowered will be removed). However, once a weapon achieves balance, a copy is sent to the BLU team. Some of the RED team have suspicions about their disappearing weapons, but there isn’t much they can do about it. It’s either accept it as the norm or get fired.

So, the Administrator gave the BLU Engineer the Gunslinger to “balance” the teams. The Administrator couldn’t directly help the BLU team though, so they kept getting dominated by the RED team. The Administrator often sends Miss Pauling to provide the BLU team more support, but Miss Pauling doesn’t really care for the BLU team much. They’re never as lively or as fun as the RED team, and they don’t treat her as a friend and more as an uncaring employer. She definitely prefers the RED team over them, but she still needs to follow the Administrator.

Now, as I mentioned in my last post, I considered the RED Pyro to only be a suit brought to life with magic, and the BLU Pyro a crude mechanical version of it. A more detailed version of what I think of it will be up in a few days, and I apologize for the delay on that.

Thank you for all of the support on the last post! I spent the past few days just staring at the number of notes going up and reading the tags on reblogs and it just made me explode on the inside lol. I’ll be posting more of these headcanon posts, but instead of packing a ton of headcanons into one post I’ll spread them out a bit more so I’ll have time to come up with new ones. Thank you to everyone who reblogged and left all those nice words. It really encourages me to write more in this fandom, hell even in general.

TLDR: THANK YOU

all the illustration/gallery pics i drew for @gfdatingsim! i hold these last two ford pics by my heart, they came out so well

hosonaga doodles he is my Pou

Headcanon: Scout and Spy go to father-son therapy. The therapists are Soldier and Demoman. Soldier is surprisingly smart and Demoman is very philosophical.

soldier yells at spy a lot. spy does not like therapy.

that’s it that’s the headcanon.

terrible hosonaga image edit i made to truly reflect how cool he is for anyone who wants it.

haha soldier go brrr

I got some weird idea and I wanted to make it a comic. Little did I know that it is painful to draw backgrounds and it’s also painful to make a comic at all. I’ll try and figure it out as I go I guess, but I’ll redo this drawing for the comics.  it’s meant to be soldier without his helmet and also not hellbent on America

help how do eyes work aaaaaaa

methinks he would hate him

slightly more plausible ver:

TF2 AGGIE LINK

https://aggie.io/a4rcbgfpge

random aggie.io link if people want to join! draw whatever you want, as long as it isn’t extreme nsfw lol. It’s mostly for TF2, but anything related/aus are okay! go crazy lol, I look forward to seeing the results of it. I won’t be too active on it since I’m busy.

For people who don’t know, Aggie.io is a collaborative drawing website. And it’s not too shabby too.

(use it to communicate with other tf2 fans on tumblr too if you want!)

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
