hey tumblr, its like 1 in the morning, but heres some tf2 stamp gifs of solider, demo and heavy since they have so little, sorry if they not the best, it's my first time
I think itâs somewhat normal for people to maybe imagine their favorite character comforting them when theyâre having a hard time to cheer them up and make things better so it feels easier to keep going, but I think I might be a bit off, because depending on what Iâm struggling with, itâs a different character. Like if Iâm worrying about political stuff, itâs the Solider from TF2, being overly patriotic but in like a very loving way that feels in character for him, or if itâs body positivity, itâs Isabeau from ISAT, and just thinking about him talking about his journey and how you can be who you want. Todayâs blorbo for the depression is TF2 Engineer, whoâs telling me, while Iâm panicking about registering for college and getting all the right classes that fit with the time I have, that when he got his 13 PHDâs, he was scared and nervous too, but regardless, he pushed through, and that while it took time, he never gave up.
So, yeah, thatâs how todayâs going.

getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes
one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."
My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust Iâve ever seen in anyoneâs eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.
For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish
also the Italians. mixing Irish and Italian sociocultural attitudes had the effect of multiplying the Sass Levels by the power of infinity, in the sense that you get all of the clever dry wit of the Irish and all of the bitchy gossipy condensation of the Italians rolled into one very stereotypically overly-friendly American package.
also worth noting that who you are to them doesnât matter. theyâll talk to strangers like that and will also talk to their best friends like that. theyâre just Like That.

Hey. Why isnât the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isnât that fucked up? Does anyone else think thatâs absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! Thatâs a big deal! Iâve never thought about it before but now that I have, itâs ridiculous to me that thatâs not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why donât we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
Itâs July 20th. Thatâs the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. Iâm ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and Iâm going to have a goddamn potluck. Youâre all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY
moon day is 20th July!!!
Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!
IT'S FINALLY MOON DAY MONDAY!!!!!!!!! MOON JOY!!!!
HAPPY MOON DAY!!! GO LOOK AT THE MOON!!!! WE PUT PEOPLE UP THERE!!!!! MOON JOY MOON JOY MOON JOY!!!!!!!!!

So sick of dog motif what about cat motif.
I love you but we don't love the same. I can't be near you when you want me to be. Your love is smothering and your need to keep me safe is trapping me. I'm my own person but I don't know how to show you that. I lash out and hurt you even though I don't mean to. I need you to move slowly around me or I'll bolt. I love you, even though I don't say it. If you stay still I'll sit next to you, and even though we don't understand each other we can be together like that.
@aspengrown this is the rawest possible addition to this post thank you
and also:
cat love as in I am small and scared and all of my instincts and my experience and your vast power say you're a threat but I am choosing to trust in your kindness despite my fear. you could kill me with one hand but I know you won't.
cat love as in I can tell you are upset and I don't understand why so I will sit stiffly beside you and awkwardly provide the only reassurance I know how to give. I am uncomfortable with every single moment of this but it is what you would do for me.
cat love as in I am small and powerless but I will curl up back to back with you and stand guard while you sleep and I will mean it with every fiber of my being.
my cat Nepenthe was a former stray behavior case at risk of euthanasia because she kept mauling potential adopters. on her second week in my apartment--having already attacked me multiple times without provocation, I will add, I wasn't special, she needed genuine help--she slinked out of the bedroom yowling at me. when I went to check on her she kept walking back and forth until I followed her, where she insistently paced between my feet and her hidey-hole in the back of my dresser, increasingly distressed. about three seconds after she gave up and hid, an absolutely torrential rain front hit. she didn't understand yet that we couldn't get wet inside. she'd been trying to warn me.
she didn't know me yet, but she knew I hadn't yelled at her when she hurt me. she knew I hadn't tried to hurt her back. she didn't understand why she was attacking me; those episodes probably scared her more than me. she knew I "shared" food with her, and that I asked before touching her. and she went out of her way to bring me into her safe space, to protect her friend.
cat love as stiff hesitant uncertain acts of service that are devastating in their sincerity, as well.
I'm sorry, I had a response to add on, but now I'm crying over your cat. Oh my god.
cat love as stiff hesitant uncertain acts of service that are devastating in their sincerity, as well.
He had the awkward tenderness of someone who has never been loved and is forced to improvise.

Yes and also, cat love as in:
I am an independant being. I will not be at your beck and call. I will go where I please, take an interest in what I please, play and sleep when I please. But sometimes it will please me to follow you. Sometimes it will please me to take an interest in what you are doing. Sometimes it will please me to play with you and sleep alongside you. My ears will catch your voice like a satellite dish. I will know your every name for me. My eyes will wink to show that I trust you. I will sit close by you with my back turned, each of us in our own world together. I may seem inscrutable to one who is unfamiliar with my ways, but you will know when I am happy and enjoying your affection. When it pleases me to show you affection you will know that too. I will leave my marks on you and take your marks on me so that the world knows we belong together. Our flesh and blood and minds will always be different but we are one tribe.
Continuation of my last post, delivering on the promise of my other two characters! These two are from my own writing, from the book I'm trying to write called Supernova! Without further ado, here we go!
UNI:
"It is a terrifying thing, love. It is the only human possibility, but it is terrifying."Â - James Baldwin, 1987
Uni is the main character from the book I'm writing called "Supernova", set in the 2010's, who I like to draw every now and then. They were born in Houston, but have moved around the US a lot since then because of their dad's job, getting a lot of different experiences, but never really a stable group of friends or a home. But now, at 20 years old, they are living in DC, going to George Washington University while their dad works in the city, and the big part of it all, working a paid internship at the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall. Uni is a very smart person, often relying on what they know to inform their decisions and actions, but also creative, loving to draw and sketch in their free-time. They are definitely more introverted and practical, but goofy and helpful whenever they are comfortable. The story follows Uni's experiences living the new city and figuring out who they want to be and do, but most importantly, meeting Jean, a local who's confident and outgoing and charismatic, everything that Uni isn't, and how they become friends, and hopefully fall in love.
JEAN:
"Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward, straight girl, "Little Miss Perfect", that's me." -Â Little Miss Perfect (feat. Taylor Louderman & Joriah Kwame)Â by Write Out LoudÂ
(I know she's got the Omnisexual flag, but for majority of the story, it's her figuring out her sexuality once she starts falling for Uni and doesn't really have a word to put to everything she feels for them, but its what she'd identify by the end.)
Jean is the other main character and love interest of  the book I'm trying to write called "Supernova", set in the 2010's, and thought it'd be nice to have some art for it too! She's lived in Washington DC her whole life, since her parents work/worked at George Washington University (GWU) her whole life, which is the same college both her and Uni attend and meet at! She's the same age as Uni, and she works at a local bakery not too far from the mall. Jean grew up with a much larger group of friends (haven't written it yet, but I have it that they basically were all some flavor of LGBTQ+, and it was pretty obvious, though Jean was completely oblivious), but now that most of them have moved away,, she hangs out with her childhood best friend, Quinn (who I might draw hopefully soon!). Jean, is, above everything else, an extraordinarily kind and loving person. She is outgoing, charismatic, but above all, kind. She practically beams positivity and nearly always has a smile on her face. She constantly in awe of the talents and skills of others, especially Uni's artwork, even if they are shy about it. But deep down, once Jean and Uni become close friends (for now), Jean's able to open up, and admit to her weaknesses and those soft tender parts of herself that she doesn't feel like she can share, and from there, the two fall in love with each other.Â
I hope to have this story done one day so I can tell you all about it, but in the meantime, have my goofy drawings of them! Hopefully going to post more doodles and the such of them soon, and get back into writing more of the book soon!
Realized that I've made like 3 character sheets in the past while, and somehow didn't post any of them, so here we are! I'll post the TF3 Demo Expert, and the separate characters in another post, so here we GO!
MEET THE TF3 DEMOMAN!!!!! (DEMOWOMAN!!)
Meet the TF3 Demo Expert, Daleia Astra Beradottle! The second of my completely original TF3 characters (as in that they are not grown up versions of characters present in the established TF2 universe).
Despite her profession, Daleia is a princess. Not as in that she's picky or privileged, but she is a literal princess, the princess of a nearly forgotten yet still powerful kingdom in Northern Sweden. She spend her youth in the castle's massive library and learning from the scholars and scientists who would visit her parent's kingdom, where she gained an interest and love to science, chemistry, but most notably, chemical and explosive reactions, and how to make them more effective. However, her days of luxury and learning would come to an end, when her own and only brother, Prince Ericsson, led a coup and overthrew the kingdom for his own greed, with Daleia only escaping by blowing up half of the castle, leaving her unconscious and with her scars. When she awoke, she was greeted by the kind folk of her kingdom who rescued her from the river she fell into, and her sister, Princess Louisa, who managed to escape during the chaos caused by Daleia's explosion. After healing, they gained word that their brother did not act alone. It made sense, after all. Their kingdom did not possess enough guns, weapons and soldiers to stage the coup he did. So the rumors that he had sponsors and help that traced back to the USA was not unbelievable, especially when evidence of their correspondence came to be. So, the two sisters devised a plan. Louisa, the only heir who was thought to still be alive by most, would stay behind, leading the rebellion against his reign, and Daleia, thought to be dead, would travel to America in secret, and find her brotherâs sponsors and destroy them, by any means necessary. Daleia spent several months, tracking down related parties and gaining the information she needed, raking up an impressive criminal record before being contacted by a mysterious organization. In their meeting, they offered her a job as a mercenary as a demolition expert, based on their intel that she not only was well knowledged in explosives, but that she was the escaped princess of her kingdom, the one who faked her death through the explosives, making her perfect for a mercenary. Daleia almost chose prison over working with this group, but in their promise to her, they guaranteed not only to clear her criminal record and a profitable salary to send back to aid her sister, but to also return her to her country with a full team of mercenaries to bring an end to it all, and save her kingdom. Daleia couldnât have agreed sooner.
Here's her company papers, too!
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. Theyâre everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, Iâm going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes
