The medic has been spotted

Being only six inches in a base full of bloodthirsty mercs can be pretty traumatizing, This is an ASK / RP blog for a borrower medic living in the walls of the RED team's housing. Go a ahead and ask him a question...if you can see him anyways. make sure to stop by the rules! MA:

Lil dude came out of retirement for this.

UPDATE: A HUGE WAVE A OF BOTS JUST GOT BANNED RIGHT AFTER I POSTED THIS.

obviously the backlash from the overall movement is actually causing valve to do something. buuuut I think it's funnier to pretend that Patches, being a 6" literal pocket medic, managed to cause the bots to explode bc he finally let out his fury.

"Enough."

Am I back?

Kind of. I’m thinking more and more of this lil guy but I have some thoughts and would like some in return.

When I started this blog in 2016 I was really excited to finally have a muse that was a combination of two things I really like and hyperfixate on. Plus drawing him is still a v big comfort for my anxiety during the rough parts of my young adult life. Not sure if I can fully open up but there was one part where I really was in a dark place for a bit. A long bit.  I really loved the character I was developing and creating as a guy who’s just trying his best in the situation he was given with a cutesy aesthetic that had tf2′s dark/whacky edge. Or at least that’s how I felt about it (though it’s totes possible that wasn’t conveyed that well asdf)  However as time passed a few problems came up not just in my personal life but also somethings with the blog that I wasn’t really satisfied with anymore. For one I noticed a trend of drawing the same thing constantly and Patches started to flanderaize a little bit. Had this whole story and events planned with hints I’ve dropped into the asks but well- I never got to it. :( 

Second and more disturbing trend was people becoming actually *obsessed* with Patches. Note that i’m not saying all fans of this blog were weirdos- I really like most of ya’ll I swear. But when people started to dm me pretending I was patches, getting a ton of asks from the same people saying how cute he was to the point of infantilizing, having a vore fanfiction written with him without my consent and by golly I got so many bad vibes that I just slowly walked away from the blog. It also didn’t help that fellow ask blogs have basically nearly disappeared and tumblr literally nuking itself with the big ban.  It’s just been hard to conjure inspiration but, oh man when I draw Patches sometimes it makes me miss coming home in the late evening to come up with gags, do fun stuff with asks, roleplay with my friends, and just being involved with a community.  

With covid i’ve been busy working my butt off in my day job and getting ready to graduate college while writing my book and making a video and doing my art profilio and asdjkfhskhfkhKJHFJKHEF- Yeah. Alot.  So with my vomiting my thoughts on a tumblr post- Should I try on this blog again and give it another shot? Was thinking either cont. where it was left off or rebooting. Or both. I’ll see.

Final thing; I think the thing that made me write this and consider having a come back was people telling me how they were inspired by my work and STILL reblog/like my content here because it’s something that makes them happy. It’s honestly made me cry because that’s kind of the thing that drives me in life you know? Idk. Nonetheless, thank you all for supporting me all these years and being a pleasure to rp with and filling my inbox. It really pulled me through a very uncertain time in my life. Honestly. Thank you. <3 Now I that I think about it I think we need a tiny medical professional to fight COVID19 stress and fears right about now. rip

“What crat-” He then saw what the squip was talking about. Wow this AI can really see and predict things that the borrower didn’t see yet- even with all his years of experience. The chip just out done him. However it did not hesitate to take it’s advice even if he wasn’t sure why he needed to. They were right next to the bus stop they needed.  Patches hopped behind the crate and looked at the squip worryingly. “Wh-why?” 

No sooner had they ducked behind the crate did a soldier and demoman come rushing by. They were chattering about something, careless steps crashing down on exactly where Patches had been walking previously. Then they were gone as soon as they’d arrived.

Probably a good thing he heeded the advice.

The Squip turned to Patches. “That’s why. I can sense these things through quantum entanglement.”

[askborrowermedic]

“H-how-”  Patches mumbled out loud, in pure shock as he didn’t realize the ai had the capability to sense other people around him before he could. Who made this thing? The borrower stood in shock for a couple of seconds before jumping at the sound of a huge bus making it’s stop near them. The little man looked from the side of the crate and watched humans step off-  Once he knew no one would bother to look down he went ahead and slipped onto the bus like he’s done a million times before.

The Squip followed along with Patches as he rushed out of the base and out into the snow outside. Obviously it didn’t get winded nor was it affected by the cold. It also didn’t leave any footprints in the snow so there was another reminder that it wasn’t physically there despite how real it looked.

“You’re going to want to duck behind that crate within in the next six seconds,” it announced suddenly.

“What crat-” He then saw what the squip was talking about. Wow this AI can really see and predict things that the borrower didn’t see yet- even with all his years of experience. The chip just out done him. However it did not hesitate to take it’s advice even if he wasn’t sure why he needed to. They were right next to the bus stop they needed.  Patches hopped behind the crate and looked at the squip worryingly. “Wh-why?”

When the two started to beat each other up over the juvenile joke, the Squip simply turned to look back at Patches. Its point had been made.

“Come on. They’re distracted now and won’t notice us leave. It is imperative that we leave now if we want to make it to the bus stop in time.”

This distraction was slowing them down too much, even if it was a good learning moment. But they had to account for how much of a trek it was for Patches to cross distances outdoors and all the potential obstacles that could arise in such a trip.

Patches nodded and made his way around the chaos as he tried not to get stepped on by the rowdy scouts. Once he made it to safety he followed the squip’s advice and rushed his way out of the compound with the intent on catching that bus.  Once the borrower was able to slip out the front door he trekked through the snowy path that lead to the lone bus stop. He was determined to turn his life around and cold fingers be darned.

From my personal!!!

[askborrowermedic]

Which merc is the nicest to you?

“The heavy weapons man tends to give me food whenever and ask me before picking me up so, he’s a saint compared to everyone else.”

[askborrowermedic]

Do you pocket anyone?

“I really can’t choose who I heal due to my powers being autonomous.  So my teammates just pick me up and shove me in their pockets.” 

[askborrowermedic]

Do... Do you like beer?

“Way too big bitter for me!”
