Unstableplague - Mercury

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)

shoutout to soldier tf2

I just think he’s neat :)

dream exclusively referring to tubbo as "tommys best friend" and calling him tommy SIX TIMES on stream ohhhhh he's never beating the "doesn't see tubbo as an individual" allegations

undertale, everything’s the same except frisk is a youtube vlogger

nothing gets me more heated than people saying it’s weird when other players have a female tav that romances astarion because he’s “obviously gay.”

a man being flamboyant =/= gay. astarion has expressed attraction to all genders, and it is canon that he is pansexual. equating “flamboyant” to “gay” can can be harmful so please stop.

i know this is just a video game and some stupid online discourse, but it’s so frustrating to see people spewing bigoted rhetoric and passing it off as some enlightened progressive take.

grown men who'd cry over Club Penguin getting shutdown

Scout is the type of guy to go up to soldier and tell him to punch him as hard as he can in the face just to see if he can take it, alright? or tell medic to replace his lungs with bigger ones just to see how much longer he can go on with running, just to see, y’know?

He wants to prove that he can take it all. He is the one jumping up and down hand raised at the chance to be a test subject for any of the team’s dangerous stunts. He was the type of kid to be thrown into the pool by his older brothers only to run back and tell them to do it again, to throw him further. He would’ve been the type of kid that broke his leg and didn’t tell his ma because he figured it wasn’t a big deal and he had a baseball game to finish anyway! He would 100% come back to the base after a morning jog, bleeding and covered in wounds because oh yeah he got attacked by a coyote during his run, only to sit down and eat breakfast without a care in the world.

I’m tired of the “scout has low pain tolerance” and “scout is afraid of medic” (along with the other mercs) trend

Like, you think the youngest of eight brothers wouldn’t walk off a jaw shattering punch to the face?? You think the guy who runs in-between bullets would fold immediately after being skimmed in the arm?? The man literally runs head first into danger and you’re gonna tell me he has low pain tolerance?? HE’S THE ONE ACTIVELY RUNNING INTO IT!! He was shot in the stomach by a robot and literally didn’t complain about it despite the fact he was actively dying!!

Like I get the joke of him being good against terrible mounts of pain but folding at something like a paper cut but I’m tired of people saying he wouldn’t be able to handle himself from a sizable injury despite the fact that’s an expectation of his job.

And none of the mercs hate medic or are scared of him, I’m tired of seeing that discussion. Scout, who was the first person after Heavy to get the Uber-transplant heart—you think he’s scared of medic?? that man probably fought tooth and nail to be the first one in there!! he may be childish but he is not a child and im tired of these seemingly child-like traits be assigned to him despite the fact there is evidence against it :,)

Some cute Malleus facts from the Pajama Bday vignette:

He loiters everywhere but thinks Ramshackle really is unmatched. He's a bit disappointed he can't go there in the dead of night.

He reviews the day's lessons every night.

He talks to his gargoyles lmfao

The dragon statue in his room is a gargoyle of his own creation and is his masterpiece.

He lights up an incense that smells like the forest and makes him feel like he's back home.

He goes around the school to take gargoyles back to his clubroom to do repair work on them for free.

He writes in the school feedback that they should reinforce the floors strong enough to withstand 50 gargoyles.

It's hard for him to wake up in the morning because he's a nocturnal fae.

He has a very efficient morning routine because he uses magic to do everything at the same time, but he loses track of time when he has to choose what color he wants his makeup to be.

Although black is his preferred color because it's Briar Valley's symbol of nobility, he doesn't shy away at the idea of using red lipstick because the Thorn Fairy prefers that for herself, or violet just to be different.

He yawns loudly, but worries that his grandmother would scold him if he lets himself be seen in that kind of state.

Generally, the confirmation we got really is that he's not just "a natural" where everything just goes perfectly for him. He puts great effort behind the scenes, not just in his hobbies but also in academics and his appearance as well.

This really did a lot to present him to us as someone relatable and works hard behind his perfect persona!

i love this guy. the splotch

why do so many fics portray octavius as being super uptight and serious like have you seen him in canon this man is an agent of chaos and a complete enabler and enjoyer of jed’s unhinged behaviour
