Anyway If You're Complaining About How The Stupid Idiot Tumblr Babies Don't Know Anything About The 1960s

Doing my duty by transing my babygirl.

Soldier, do you know that the ridged edges of a ritz cracker is actually intended to be used to cut cheese

Soldier: [stares at the letter and then gets up to go into the kitchen and get out the box of crackers from the cabinet, staring at it for a while before muttering to himself] ..I could turn this into a weapon.

The thing is, Pavitr is in the Spider Society, he knows about canon events. And still when he's on that bridge and watching the rubble fall, he says "I can do both," and he tries to save Inspector Singh, even knowing he's Supposed to die. Because that's what being Spider-Man is about, trying to save everyone, even when when it seems impossible

Ladies, Sirs, whatever you may perfer,

May I present to you: The Jedtavius personal space timeline

Normal amount of space between two adversaries/rivals.

2. Normal amount of space between two friends (Octavius still counts as a 'people' to Jed's aversion to contact/personal space)

3. Normal amount of space between two friends (Octavius no longer counts as a 'people' to Jed's aversion to contact/personal space)

4. Your personal space, is my personal space

i like her

Scout and Miss Pauling friendship is one of my fave things to think about but I think a lot of people look over the more complex parts (as complex as fucking. TF2 lore gets) like Scout feelings for Miss Pauling are genuine and he's mostly just really lame about it rather the internally a creep but Miss Pauling doesn't owe liking him due to that, even if you go in the transfem Scout route. I think there have to be a talk and a lot of awkward feelings but i think after a while they would be good friends. Sorry to ramble here in your askbox I just wish this dynamic was explored more in the fandom without outright dismissing character traits of either of them.

No yeah ur literally so right n I've def talked before about how this is the ONE vaguely complex canon character thing I get to be snotty about and that I think like. there are Implications(tm) if you choose to make it so that Scout was NEVER attracted to Pauling ever (usually bc "he's gay") or Pauling is actually attracted to men and now she and Scout can date!! like I'm trying not to be A Hater but I rlly do think a lot of people just haven't deconstructed how they think about men (for the sake of the intentions of the source material, Scout will be a man in this post) who are attracted to women, especially the "loser who gets the girl in the end" archetype. If Scout is attracted to Pauling, he is not in any way owed her reciprocation, EVEN IF she were attracted to men. And people have friends that they're attracted to who don't reciprocate for whatever reason and they manage to work it out. The actual canon Scout/Pauling dynamic (which is that he's really into her and thinks she's into him but she's not and he's lame) IS very funny, but if you want to imagine any sort of closure for these characters it has to involve him coming to terms with it and like. learning to deal. I am SO happy that there seem to be absolutely zero hints of Scout and Pauling actually hooking up at the end of the comic (but what do I know) bc I am SICK of every piece of media on the planet feeling the need to shove a man and a woman together because he likes her and therefore deserves her. This is like, tf2 level nuance! It's extremely simple! Idk this is such like. a common relationship thing that happens in real life and if people can't handle it when cartoon hat people do it idk how they'd handle it if it were happening to them or to one of their friends

So like an hour ago I just lear🪨︵︵ned that— what the fuck was that. Someone just skipped a rock across my post did you see that

i’ve talked to people about this exact thing before, but what i normally bring up when people go “medic hates his team and wants to kill/torture all of them” is he literally took time and resources out of his day at HIS detriment for no reward to revive sniper. and despite this, i’ve seen people write medic as torturing his own team in genuinely horrific ways and not the funny cartoon ways that tf2 likes to treat things. oh yeah this also usually is comorbid with “medic is a nazi” and we already had a whole ass situation with our blog on that topic -🚙

EXACTLY !!! I have my own post abt this that I miiiight go try to dig up but it basically boils down to the fact that all the experiments Medic does on his teammates are directly positive or at least neutral. He put the baboon heart into Heavy (and everyone else) so he would be able to withstand the ubercharge, which is extremely beneficial in battle. He revived Sniper for 1.3 billion dollars because he LIKES Sniper, because he WANTED to revive him, even while he was technically working for the tfc team who pretty explicitly DIDN'T want him to revive Sniper! And he did it anyway! The canon explanation for Monoculus is that Medic kept surgically giving Demo a second eye, a thing that Demo WANTS, even though it repeatedly ended pretty badly for them (yeah there's the brain-scooping thing but like. whatever. has to be done). In that scene he says he put a little brain inside Demo's leg, which might not be something directly positive but is at least harmless in its weirdness. I cannot think of one time in canon where Medic tf2 is shown maliciously experimenting on his teammates (he does it on other people but like of course he does) intending for it to be harmful to them. Because believe it or not he does, in fact, have friends whom he likes. The whole point of him actually is that he's SUPER useful to have "on your side" BECAUSE he's so potentially violent, but once ur like. cool with him he's not gonna do any of that to you! (Or if he does it'll be to make you really good at something)
