all the illustration/gallery pics i drew for @gfdatingsim! i hold these last two ford pics by my heart, they came out so well
The water was a late decision haha.
MISSION BEGINS IN 60 SECONDS.
“Say, Spy. How does your mask and disguise thing work?
The RED Spy stiffened. Scout continued talking.
“I mean, all you do is put on a mask and throw a smoke bomb and now everyone thinks you’re the stupid Medic or something. What’s the freakin’ deal with that?”
“Scout, are you sure that your mind the size of a quail egg could understand it in the first place?”
“Of COURSE I can understand it,” said Scout, waving his hands in the air indignantly, “Besides, quail eggs are huge, man! Have you even seen one before?”
Spy blew a puff a smoke and smirked.
“And have YOU ever seen one? They’re smaller than chicken’s eggs.”
“...quail eggs my ass. Tell me how your freakin’ mask works!”
Spy sighed, then put out his cigarette.
“Well, the smoke encourages the idea of the mask actually being my face. It’s memetic, I’d say. It makes the enemy team think that I’m one of them with whatever new chemical from Australia it uses.” Scout blinked, his mind hitting a brick wall the second Spy had said the word memetic. Of course, he was the smartest in the entire RED team, so of course he knew what it meant! It was just...used in Spy terms. Yeah, that must be why. Spy’s speaking in Spynese.
“Alright, alright, I understand. But just in case, y’know, could you like...repeat that in English?”
Spy rubbed at his forehead, then mimicked Scout’s voice perfectly.
“Of COURSE I can understand it! Very well Scout, here it is in English. The smoke makes people think that I’m actually whatever mask I am wearing. Without the smoke, people would see me as a man walking around with a mask. And without the mask, the smoke has nothing to convince people of. Understand, Scout?”
“Yeah, I guess. But what makes the smoke ‘memetic’ or whatever?”
“Like I said, it’s something from Australia. No one knows what the hell those Australians do down there, especially after they discovered Australium.”
MISSION BEGINS IN 10 SECONDS.
Spy picked up his balisong and examined it, while Scout pulled his bat up over his shoulder.
“I wish you luck, Scout. This mission isn’t going to be an easy one.”
“Hey, thanks. Get them all smoked up out there for me!”

Memetic (as from the SCP Wiki) - Memetics in regards to SCP objects tends to focus on the impossible rather than the mundane, regarding effects that are transmitted via information. In general, the effects themselves should remain in the realm of information. A memetic SCP would be more likely to be a phrase that makes you think you have wings as opposed to a phrase that makes you actually grow a pair of wings. If you write up magic words that make people grow wings, it should be described as something other than memetic.
(is my writing any good? tell me where I can improve in writing, since I’ve never had actual feedback for my work)
"A cishet person must have made this, no queer person would ever portray queerness in this way."
"This artist must be white."
"No SA victim would ever handle the subject in this way."
"No woman would ever write women like this."
"This creator is obviously neurotypical. Everyone with autism/ADHD/depression understands-"
Nope.
People who make these blanket statements are very frequently proven wrong when the creator comes out as a member of that group. And even when they aren't proven wrong, even in cases where the creator isn't from the group in question, actual members of the group who don't fit whatever arbitrary criteria are being expressed will see these statements and feel excluded and erased.
Not everyone in your group is going to share your experiences. No single individual gets to personally decide what does or doesn't count as a "valid" expression of trauma or being part of a particular group, and creators are also not obligated to out themselves in order to "prove" their validity.
If something doesn't resonate with you, all that means is that it doesn't resonate with you. You don't have to like it. But you don't get to decide what it means to someone else.
a few doodles/sketches I did :D

Probably like, eraser flavored
actually a way better answer than mine. maybe i should poke holes in him with a pencil like an eraser. like eraser putty yk?? nosh down on sum plastic man. yum.
This has been simmering for a bit, so here is what’s been cooked up so far.
So basically, the entire BLU team are clones of the RED team. The RED team was doing so well against the original BLU team that they decided to clone the RED team. What better enemy than yourself, right? Well, Blutarch was rather upset with this. In my eyes, Blutarch is smarter than Redmond, but not smart enough to avoid this entire gravel war. He decided that the clones needed to be better than the RED team. Each BLU mercenary will be practically the same person as their RED counterpart, but there are key differences, some of which being their names. Here is the list of changes:
Scout:
- Not much was changed about him, but BLU Scout was made to be less talkative. It was assumed that Scout’s ability to constantly ramble on would be an annoyance, but they were wrong. Scout’s constant blabbering on the RED team was a key factor in their cooperation.
Soldier:
- They removed his patriotism for America, since they thought his obsession with it was stupid. But since BLU Soldier isn’t patriotic, he doesn’t really have a reason to fight. RED Soldier was fighting for his country against the commies, but BLU Soldier is just a guy with a rocket launcher.
Pyro:
- I headcanon that Pyro is just a flameproof suit brought to life with magic (more on that in a later post). It’s pretty hard to replicate magic though, so BLU Pyro is just a robot. His design was key in Grey Mann’s takeover, as it was the first robot mercenary.
Demo:
- Made him sober. Problem is, what made RED Demo so unpredictable was his drunkedness. BLU Demoman is stronger than RED Demo, with more precise attacks that do more damage. However, he is much more predictable, and therefore easier to dodge.
Heavy:
- Pretty much unchanged. He can speak English better though, but that doesn’t do anything since there is no trust on the BLU team.
Engineer:
- More cooperative and less insane. Straight up improvement, except he’ll listen to anyone and everyone on the BLU team, even if they tell him to do something stupid since he’s desperate for appreciation.
Medic:
- Not as insane. But RED Medic’s insanity is what led to so many breakthroughs on the team. RED was definitely first to discover the power of most Mediguns, since BLU Medic is a tad more squeamish about shoving a heart into a ribcage with no anesthesia.
Sniper:
- Them: “Make him stop pissing in jars it’s disgusting”
Sniper with no Jarate and now down one of his most powerful weapons: “ok”
Seriously though, BLU Sniper just doesn’t scare off the RED Spy as much as the RED Sniper. Piss is the only thing preventing that knife from lodging in his back.
Spy:
- A Spy’s job is to trust no one, and BLU Spy follows that to the end. He will not hesitate to stab all of his teammates in the back. He’ll never come out of his shell like the RED Spy did. But just like Engineer, he seeks appreciation for his job.
The amount of work and money it took to clone the original team was too much, and they were stuck with these clones. In the end, the BLU team hated each other while the RED team depended on each other. Cooperation is key in an endless war over gravel, and if the BLU team doesn’t master that soon, they’ll soon be having a problem on their hands.
(The BLU team mercs would have the same backstory as the RED team mercs, their only difference being their names.)
i guess you could say that the real victory was the friends we made along the way-
[ If anyone ever uses these headcanons for anything, I would like credit. I just want to establish some sort of presence on the internet, I guess. I’ve come up with ideas in my head that someone else online writes up a day before I even write it down. ]
hi I'm accepting 5 art requests about tf2 pls tell me if my ask box is working also no ship art pls because am not comfy with that okey
(Basically: I'll select five requests you guys want me to draw about tf2, however no ship art that is noncanonical. The art won't be high quality, im just doing this to practice.)
TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!
there is a small statue of a strange robot with a single yellow glowing eye and a body made of cables and white plating that sits in sniper’s room/van. no one knows what it is, and if you ask sniper he either stutters or walks away muttering under his breath. what confuses everyone the most is the fact that sniper is very old-school. he has no clue how technology works, and barely knew how to use a phone when he arrived at Mann Co. why does he have a statue of a robot in his room?
(hint - it’s GLaDOS :>)
bonus: spy caught sniper once petting the head of it. when asked, sniper yelled “Like you would understand,” which was followed by sniper slamming the door and spy holding broken fingers to his chest and doubling over.
This really was just supposed to be a shitpost but I got carried away
Anyways. Welcome to “going into the pit blind and got your ass handed to you by three Fears with my pal cruel king (who only lived for one and a half round may he rest in peace)”, with god awful pacing
