Haven’t seen anyone mentioning this on tumblr so far, so here we go:

The voice actors of Medic, Heavy/Demo, Sniper, Spy/Pyro and Helen/GLaDOS are doing a live autograph signing on April 24th 10am PST.

Robin and Gary even recorded a funny little announcement video.

It’s so great to see that the cast still cares about the game so much, even after all those years. (More than Valve does, honestly…)

[karuuhnia]

OMFG Now they recorded Medic calling Sniper and Helen. I love them all so much!!! 😂 😂 😂

[karuuhnia]

And here’s Medic calling Spy (and Pyro), asking for advice on his date (with Archimedes as alluded to in the first video?? lmao)

[karuuhnia]

Ah, yes! The Youtuber ShorK will host the event. You will be able to watch it here:

Woke up to the sad news and couldn’t think about anything else the whole day. (Sorry for the sloppy artwork, but I wanted to finish the little tribute today.)

Rick May’s amazing work will always be remembered! <3

Rick May, Soldier’s VA, has passed away due to COVID-19

With an extensive acting profile ranging from our familiar American patriot Soldier from Team Fortress 2, to Peppy and Andross from Star Fox, Rick May was a seasoned veteran of voice acting who has left this world today. 

A post from Larry Albert on Facebook was crossposted by the Sniper’s voice actor from TF2, John Patrick Lowrie. Albert, a close friend of May, shares some personal words about May in his memorium post:

Rick May was a force of nature, a pain in the ass sometimes but never to the point where I would not use him again and again. We were working friends, colleagues and buddies. Hopefully there will be those who will speak of his years in the theater, as a teacher, a director and voice talent, of his one-man show as Teddy Roosevelt. I knew the man who asked me if I could get him a copy of an old Republic Studios serial cliffhanger “The Phantom Rider” if he got me an autograph from his friend Ty Hardin from the old “Bronco” TV series.

I knew the man who along with Frank Buxton and David Selvig stood and applauded my daughter Andee when I introduced her to the audience at the Kirkland Performance Center for what would be her first appearance as a professional actor. I knew the man who was always encouraging when I had my bout with cancer. I knew the man whose passing leaves a huge hole in my heart and I believe so many others. I wish you strength Diana. 

Rick I wish for you to know eternal peace. Goodbye buddy, I’m gonna miss the hell out of you.

May you rest in peace, Rick May, and thank you for your contributions to this world. We wish his family and friends well and offer our condolences.

Soldier's message to America

“Ladies, gents, non binary citizens, and other. The Mods have been keeping us informed of the latest election status, and woke up this morning to the news that Donald Trump is going to be the new president of the United States of America. Now I don’t know how that’s possible, because the election was for 2016 and the calendar in my room only goes to 1972, but that is not the point! The point is that some orange man with tiny little baby hands is going to become president before me! And that makes him a horrible choice!

The Mods have also informed us, me especially, that his presidency comes with a lot of issues. A lot of the progress we’ve made as a country is going to plummet, and people won’t feel safe in their own homes. If his plans go through, people will even be sent out of their homes, sent to camps to “fix” what is “wrong” with them, and other such atrocities. But we as a country are better than that! We’ve survived wars, people! World wars that ate away at our energy and endurance! But we made it anyway, didn’t we?! And we did it because this country is strong through its division! It is strong because of how diverse and different and unique people are! And if Donald Trump wants to change that, well then I want each and every one of you to look him straight in the eye and declare your own personal war against him! I know you all can last beyond what this madman has planned!

Don’t let what’s happening change you! Don’t let what’s happening frighten you! Don’t let some joke for a president be the first domino in the game of America’s demise! We are stronger than that!

And don’t forget the most important part! The great country of America is a democracy! That means that there is never just one person in charge, he relies on the Senate and Congress to get what he wants! We still have some power over him to deny the change he plans to bring! And even if that doesn’t work, we can still ride this out until the correct path of change come along! I believe in you!

So stay strong, citizens of America. We may have lost the war, but the battle has just begun.“

Sincerely,

-Soldier.

[storiesinteufort]

"At long last, my fellow citizens, our war has finally reached its climax. I want to congratulate you all in your hard work, protecting our democracy and finally stopping that deranged orange liar from shredding up our very constitution with his fountain of lies!

But just remember, the war isn't over yet. There are still people who believe the man is innocent. Who refuse to see the truth and only believe what the talking orange tells them. Now some of these people, you as normal citizens just can't fight. You all leave that to me. All I want you to worry about is keeping yourself safe, and making sure you're voting for the right people in the future! This will only keep happening so long as we let it! We, the people of the United States of America, have the ability to change our government! So we must, and we will! We need to keep those blind followers from allowing anything like this to happen again! So vote for your representatives! Vote for your electors!

And vote for me, next year, as your new President!

See you all on the ballot box!"

-- Soldier

(I don't know if this is the right place to ask but ignore if it isn't or if this one has already been asked) ✂️ Spy

(send ✂ for my muse to blurt out a random secret of theirs!)

The Spy pauses for the briefest of moments, almost a bit startled as a sudden urge came over him.  This feeling…  were those People still out there, asking questions?  He could swear it.  But why was–

“I HAHVE NAHMES FAHR MY BUTTERFLY KNIVES!”  And just like that, the words suddenly burst out of his mouth before he could stop himself.  Immediately the man fell silent, eyeing the small crowd of literally everyone else in the base that turned towards him at the outburst.

“Yeah, we know dat already, stupid.”  Scout scoffs from his seat, enjoying the cold beer from Demo and giving it a hearty swig.  “Didn’t know Matilda an’ Danielle were so important to ya.”

This is a Formal Apology to all people who have ever sent me an ask or request and I haven’t answered

[storiesinteufort]

woah

mod undercover here, and honestly, i’m very surprised people still prowl through this blog and submit asks. errmmmm, i suppose i should give some sort of explanation - unsurprisingly, the mods have moved on, and we’re not really hanging around this blog. someday, we might answer requests and questions but…until then, don’t expect anything active.

[storiesinteufort]

Mod headshot here, ooc and honest

Without promising anything too heavy, I've been looking over this blog recently and have found myself considering bringing it back. So many people still closer to follow despite it being dead, there's still so much love coming from all these shenanigans, and... well it's been a while since i wrote for the gang, but i miss them. I guess if shenanigans are still wanted I'm... semi-here? Mod undercover still isn't feeling it, but I'm here and ready to do some more prompts/shenanigans if anyone's still around and wants to have fun. Otherwise... well, thanks for the continued love, everyone.

How much do all the mercs know in regard to things like the reasons behind the Gravel Wars, who the Mann Brothers are/were, and how pointless it all really is.

(They have no idea how pointless it is.  They know they are taking part in a war, they know they respawn, but they don’t really know much beyond that.  They were hired to take part in a war, and that’s what they’re doing.  That’s about it.)

-Admin Headshot

[storiesinteufort]

Do you think Sniper would be a good radio show host, thanks to his buttery accent? It’s a fairly introverted job and a good option if he retired from being a mercenary/assassin.

(Admin Headshot here, I think he could if he ever decided he wanted to!  He does have the voice for it.  I don’t know that he ever would though, he loves being a mercenary so much that I doubt he really sees himself as much else.)

[storiesinteufort]

Mercs react to s/o having weapon have sun less terriying name aka like. Morning start until they see its like wtf

(...  I.  I’m sorry, I’m not entirely sure what you mean.)

-Mod Blu

[storiesinteufort]

Are the mercs ok? Its been a while

Mod Blu adjusts her glasses and looks out at the scene before her, slightly lowering her laptop to better ensure the special back-view camera can reveal everything as well.

The base seems to be mostly rebuilt, albeit with various haphazard adjustments like literal sheets of metal just duct-taped into place.  It’s a bit hard to rebuild an entire warzone’s base with nine men who don’t actually know what they’re doing.  Engineer took most of the work up by himself, but really he’s just wondering why the respawn machine wasn’t adjusted to help the process along.  At least his machines can help.

Scout and Pyro are just visible in the back, still panting from having done so much work while Demo is busily handing them cold beers to try and cool them down.  Heavy, Medic, and Soldier are all huddled in a corner just beside this scene, already drinking cold glasses of water and with some still-healing injuries clearly bothering them.  Spy is off in the corner, in an idle discussion with Sniper who currently has some kind of large bandage on his face.  Mod Red is nowhere to be found.

Aside from all that?  Somehow…  and it’s a bit hard to tell, but it’s as though little to no time has passed since last contact.  At most it’s… maybe been a month?  Two?  No, not even two.  Maybe?  It’s all very confusing.

[storiesinteufort]

The rules only had rp rules but I see lots of headcanons reblogged from here does requesting headcanons have any rules?

(Pretty much just no NSFW is the main rule~)
