"So, I know a Spy already has a mask he wears everyday, but I'm thinking about a Halloween costume. I'm thinking... Phantom of the Opera maybe? Or the Invisible Man, perhaps?" He rubbed his chin pensively as his foot tapped out a staccato beat on the floor. "Anybody have any ideas?"

"You could go as someone tall enough to see the top shelf of the fridge," the young Medic said with a slight smirk. "Or a leprechaun?"

Marlon Sweet, meanwhile, was standing outside RED base. "Listen, if you wanna fuck yourselves up on whiskey and rockets, be my guests. But! If you do it, all you're getting is duct tape and a trip through Respawn."

"With St. Patrick's Day on the horizon, I would like to remind BLU team not to get super drunk. Again. I'm not going to be sewing on blown off body parts until Easter again this year." Dr. Sweet pinched the bridge of his nose, already tired by the paperwork he could see looming on the horizon.

"The infirmary is open for year end physicals. Please come at your earliest convenience," Joshua announced to the BLU team before leaving breakfast. Hopefully he wouldn't have to chase them down again this year.

Has anyone seen mein hat? My head is cold and my helmet is hard.

bittersweetmedicine

How about you do a better job hanging on to your shit, dork?

privatemaxwell

OH, well, maybe you should do better hanging onto your head? *takes out shovel and gives chase*

bittersweetmedicine

Good thing I'm not just better looking, but faster too. *bolts away, tossing Max's hat onto a shed roof as he runs the other direction*

BLU's Medic was racing across the field, chasing a rather angry looking RED Medic. Instead of attacking, he seemed to be reaching out desperately to grab him. When his fingers made contact, the younger man turned and sliced at his arm his bonesaw. There was a brief scuffle before the RED shook him off and kept running, the older BLU watching him from where he fell on the ground, a pool of red spreading up his arm. "Goddammit! Why can't you ever just listen?!"

Before he could continue his pursuit, a grenade exploded at his feet. He seemed to finally remember where he was. He was cut off from his team and the quickest way back was through or around the RED Engineer currently at his 4 o'clock. "...Goddammit!" he swore again, turning towards the Engineer, cradling his injured arm. He would either get through or get sent back to Respawn...

Need a Hand, or a Handjob? starters

"Hey, I'm really in a bind. Do you think you could lend me a hand?" "I've been so stressed lately. I could use someone to help me relax." "I lost my job and my apartment. I just need a place to crash for a while." "I'm feeling lonely and could use some company tonight." "I need someone to talk to. It's been a rough day." "I'm new in town and don't know anyone.

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

misslunarose

This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!

{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}

I noticed in the comments that some people can’t see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!

More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit

"Anyone need to get there yearly physical before the New Year? Better get in now. I'm off the rest of the year," the BLU Medic said, opening his office door.

bittersweetmedicine

"Old enough for the old prostate check, eh? Not that we've built nearly that level of trust yet. Just, uh, promise me you'll come back if you have any signs of painful urination, frequent urination or, uh, difficulty emptying the tank, okay? We'll just call it good to go for now." He smiled and set his folder aside. "Nice and painless, right? Now, do you need a lollipop? Or can I save those for Pyro?"

aussiegunsmoke

"Ack! No, thank you, I am good." He determined that he would be able to tell if something went south with his body. "Never fancied that sort of treatment." Jack knew it was probably good for him to get checked by a medical professional, and the other wasn't even suggesting he catch up on his missing vaccines, but the doc was right. The sniper didn't trust him at all.

"Nah, don't like the stuff. Bad for my teeth. Thanks though." Jack made quick work of putting himself back together, slipping the dagger back into his boot.

bittersweetmedicine

"Don't tell Pyro, but they're sugar free." He smiled and rode his stool over to his filing cabinet, dropping the file into the drawer. "I'll put you down for a six months follow up. It'll give me time to track down your medical records on file. Or, probably more likely, force the other Medics to hand them over at gunpoint. ...I don't think the last one I met even went to medical school. Might have burned one down, but certainly didn't attend one."

aussiegunsmoke

Jack huffed. He'd probably end up missing that one as usual. They only said he needed to complete ONE to avoid being fired. Jokes on them, he read the fine print. In this line of work, you really should be doing that ALWAYS. "Pssh, good fuckin' luck getting my records from the other medics. Most of them want me dead." The sniper snickered.

bittersweetmedicine

"Dead? Well, that's just silly. ...I thought they were trying to steal organs, judging by the one that keeps trying to kidnap me. He's always threatening to torture me. Him and the other one that keeps trying to add extra parts. I've just been ignoring them, but I think they're getting more creative..." He was also starting to think they were getting more than a curiosity fix out of it, which, honestly, was weirder than the Frankenstein vibes they were giving off on a typical day.

aussiegunsmoke

"Yeah well they hate me." He shrugged helplessly. "Not sure why, but they do. One of them is psychotic so it's no surprise. The other... I think he just has something against snipers. Don't blame em, really." Jack sighed.

bittersweetmedicine

Joshua just shrugged. "Meh. I don't like most of the people here, but I'm a professional. I don't let my personal feelings get in the way of my duties."

aussiegunsmoke

He laughed harshly. "Man, wouldn't that be something."

bittersweetmedicine

He just shrugged. "I just came here to get my kid. Since he refuses to leave, I'm kind of stuck here. It's... sort of the principle of the thing. Can't have him out-stubborn me, so, here I stay." With a smile, he reached for another blank folder. "In the meantime, I have a job to do. Can't just take these people's money and sit around with my thumbs in my butt, right?"
