[cookiemasterson]

figured i'd post this here too! my firestarter + pacesetter linking keychains just arrived!

i really love how they turned out, especially the different colored magnets, i think its super cute...

you can grab one from my shop (linked above) !!

[unlimitedgolden]

idk if anyone agrees but i think graham and flint used to hate one another and would bicker a lot but then the gayest love possible bloomed.

like i cant find the post but someone said people tend to baby flint in the fandom a bit forgetting that "A firestarter is a slang term for an employee who intentionally or unintentionally causes trouble wherever they go." and i'm sure that flint also causes problems on purpose too since they like drama.

so i just think that he and pacesetter probably used to be one anothers biggest haters in the workplace (especially with grahams massive ego), only to then gain massive mutual respect for one another. does anyone else see my vision, are you picking up what im putting down

[letterlifter]

hi mailman! i was wondering if you had like, a playlist for pacesetter (or both him and firestarter) i was just curious…

hi!!! this is such a fun question…especially considering pacesetter is so tied to music...of course i have a lot of songs and genres in mind for him! i made a collaborative playlist for pacesetter and firestarter a few years ago with another developer, but i think its worth making a more focused one for pacesetter specifically, so here you go!: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2x0TpsV5YGTeGroJxnHsU5?si=a1f38c97aa5f4217

i put a lot of thought and love into it and its listening order. i think turning on crossfade could be fun

i might make one specifically for firestarter some day, but i think firestarter's music taste is a lot more heavy than pacesetter's...more thrashy....though im sure some songs on here FS may have introduced him to, and maybe for some of these songs PS has FS in mind ;--)

[toontown-corporate-confessions]

I wish clash fans would just call the cogs by their cog names especially during fights like I’m sorry I don’t remember all their real names. I don’t know what a graham is. Someone fighting pacesetter for their first time won’t know who graham is either. “We need to hit chip” LITERALLY WHO

Headcannons for the playground Managers on a rainy day?

Random Corporate Clash Headcanons, Playground Managers on a Rainy Day Edition

Prethinker

🧠He doesn't even know it's raining

🧠Stays in the basement playing video games all day and scrolling Reddit

🧠Bro hasn't gone outside in years probably

Derrick Man

🛢️Scoffs about the weather and clearly hates it

🛢️In a sour mood the whole day

🛢️Spends as much time indoors as possible and wears a very good raincoat and/or uses an umbrella outisde

Rainmaker

⛈️She started the rain {probably}

⛈️Will feel bad about it at first, but after a while she gives up with controlling it and just jumps in the puddles

⛈️Spends most of the day outside

⛈️Clearly likes the rain

Land Acquisition Architect

🚦He likes the rain in the sense that plants are watered {saves water bill on the land he needs to look all nice} and ground becomes soft and easy to break

🚦Takes advantage of the cooler weather to get TONS of work done outside, too

🚦Overall has a super productive day. He doesn't care much for how rain actually feels, but he LOOOOOOVES what it means for his wallet

Witch Hunter

🔱He's PISSED. OFF.

🔱He'll find somewhere indoors or try to find some way to shelter himself from the rain so he can keep using his fire powers

🔱A lot of his stuff probably gets ruined with water damage

Public Relations Representative

🧱Rain? Oh, I re-re-remember rain- I- rain!

🧱Toon-Toons, would you be-be-be kind- would- outside to-to- en-en-enough to let m-me outside to see-see it?

🧱N-no? But it's been-been-been-been-

🧱ERROR

Multislacker

🥪Feels extra lazy

🥪Will probably fall asleep a LOT during the day since the sound of rain is very comforting to him

🥪Makes someone carry an umbrella for him wherever he goes because he's too lazy to hold it himself

Major Player

🎹His performance of the day will probably be a little quieter and softer. I mean, not by much since that's not exactly his style, but he'll try!

🎹Lots of rain protection if he goes outside because he doesn't wanna rust. Gotta stay looking young!

🎹Tries his best to stay indoors all day. He REALLY doesn't wanna rust his 'pretty face' or whatever

Plutocrat

🌑Rain? Nah, that doesn't happen here. It's hail.

🌑He loves the weather. Absolutely thrives in it. Productivity at Mozzarella Styx Pizzeria increases by 10% that day

🌑 Satellite Investors are prone to wandering around on the streets, ESPECIALLY if the weather gets harsher. They also thrive in the weather

Chainsaw Consultant

🪚Finds the sounds of rain relaxing

🪚Productivity increases by 23% today. The Chairman is now looking into creating a rain simulation of some kind around his office

🪚Is especially quiet because he's listening to the rain

Pacesetter

👟He CLAIMS not to care about "a little rain," but it's pretty obvious he hates it

👟SUPPOSEDLY doesn't care about it messing up his hair since he "still looks good no matter what," but when he gets to work he spends an hour fixing it in a mirror

👟ALLEGEDLY he won't care about the equipment he left outside getting a little gross looking since it's waterproof and still works, but the same afternoon he has brand new equipment...

[dailypacesetter]

i see… well, has marriage ever been brought up between you two, whether directly or indirectly? if it has and he seems favorable towards it, then i'd shoot your shot. if not, then i'd suggest discussing it with them and planning from there. even in the event that he says no, it's less he's opposed to the idea and more that he isn't ready yet. at the end of the day, it comes down to if you both are ready for that commitment and you won't know that unless its brought up.

The pacesetter's eyebrows furrowed. "Wait. What am I doing? I don't need anyone's opinion on the matter, especially not from such lowly, insignificant creatures such as yourselves. Nobody knows Flint better than I do, and let's be honest here, who wouldn't wanna marry me?" He shoots a grin. "I just know Flint would be swept off their feet if he saw me getting on one knee. He would be so happy, maybe he would even tear up a bit and wrap me in a tight hug while saying "Yes! Of course, I'll marry you Graham, you're so perfect, the perfect partner, so handsome and-" The Pacesetter jumps up. "YES!! This actually sounds like a wonderful idea, a perfect idea! Well, of course it's perfect, I thought about it, all on my own." He turns to the side.

DAY 24

[razlapin]

I have to confess i keep reading your prester headcanons as pacesetter headcanons and just go “ah yeah that makes-wait” //proceeds to double check

ESPECIALLY THE GETTING SICK ONE? BECAUSE SEEM LIKE TO WORK THROUGH THEIR SICKNESS??? But for different reasons, like Pacesetter works through being sick because he hates how he has to slow down. ANYWAY! LOVE THE PRESTER HEADCANONS!

this is so funny to me ty anon

but also yea but the moment graham surrenders to the sickness it’s him letting flint pamper him to bits ✨

[toonilumi]

saw them on the toyhouse and i'm genuinely curious whats going on with your cog ocs/pos

cracks knuckles.

I've been meaning to say something about them, but I know people tend to get... overzealous around my characters. I know those people mean well but remember I'm just some guy showing off my toys to the class. So please to all those who are reading this: be nice, be respectful, peace and love ok?

to those who are reading that and going "what happened here?" Don't worry about it! Let's talk about OCs!

guess who was added on last minute

This is The Gang™️. Their lores kind of intertwine but I can't share all of it because some of it involves other people. But I will say what I can! From left to right we got:

THE LIABILITY

(AKA: Libellule LaCroix)

- my favorite. This guy is wanted by C.O.G.S Inc. for trying to expose their toxic business practices. Don't get it twisted though, the toons hate him for crashing their karts and robbing their stores. She doesn't like talking to people.

- Muse moves playgrounds almost daily. He prefers toon clothes so whenever he can, libellule will steal some. She's paranoid all the time which isn't great but it makes quick getaways easier. They're pretty easy to agitate, but not necessarily mean. Not anymore.

- Didn't have a lot of friends besides muse's twin, but has since befriended a certain manager in acorn acres. Yeah. Befriended. No don't look at my discord PFP focus on this. That aside muse has a lot of enemies... like a LOT of them. To the point that Libellule automatically assumes everyone doesn't like them.

- A liability is "a thing for which someone is responsible, especially a debt or financial obligation."

THE RECORDHOLDER

(AKA: Sauterelle LaCroix)

- So his ACTUAL job is keeping track of their department's finances but they really wanna be a singer. Sauterelle totally thinks he'd rock the Sellbot department, but was placed in Cashbot territory for their past in finances.

- An overall nice guy but definitely has an "I'm-better-than-you" aura. Loves attention and gets extremely upset when that isn't given. When it comes to toons that reaches levels of (cartoonish) violence. He's actually kinda stupid though, they get manipulated very easily.

- Was easily clocked as a northerner by the L.A.A so they had tension for a bit but they're friends now. Sauterelle hates both the Major Player and the Pacesetter, mainly due to jealousy and possibly insecurity. Can put it aside for the Major Player, not for the Pacesetter.

- A recordholder is "a professional who manages, maintains, and keeps track of records or information." it is more commonly known as "a person or thing that has achieved something no other person or thing has achieved."

THE BLATHERSKITE

(AKA: Fres Nell)

- Once a stagehand, now works maintenance and occasional advertising for the Sellbot department. Don't worry though he still does plenty of stagehand stuff for his good friend in the Bossbot department. He's a borderline theater kid. Maybe even a full one.

- Possibly the nicest person you will meet in C.O.G.S Inc. He's friendly, selfless, and oh man is he talkative. This man never ever shuts up. Fres is always finding ways to help people, and he doesn't even care if they're toons! What a nice guy. Except for when he's making excuses for his less-than-stellar colleagues. That's not cool.

- Considers himself friends with everyone, but has gotten along with the Mouthpiece since he recently joined her club. He's only mediocre at the craft, but loooooves to chat! It probably drives the Case Manager and the Featherbedder up the wall. Oops.

- A blatherskite is "a person who talks at great length without making much sense."

THE AUTEUR

(AKA: Ciel Apper)

- Sadness, despair, melancholy, all of those emotions are what inspire Ciel. They are a director who works from the heart... turns out their heart is merely a shell of what it once was. Having gone solo for years, Ciel is now looking for a company who can understand and possibly foster new visions for cinema.

- A direct suit, Ciel is usually deadpan and quiet. If they say anything more than a sentence to you, it probably means they like you. They are infamous for their vague directions, which makes working with them as an actor a nightmare. Even more so since they're so stuck in their head.... they can't see the suffering of their actors. Or maybe they can, and just don't care.

- Ciel mostly locks themselves up in their studio. In order to get them to go ANYWHERE you either have to drag them out or threaten them. It's not like anyone tolerates their airheadedness besides Fres though. Despite Ciel being somewhat passive, they do have a restraining order on the Pacesetter.

- An auteur is "a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie."

THE TOP DOG

(AKA: Lukah Updohg)

- You'd think someone with that title would be pretty important, but that's not quite true. Lukah is the sole member of the "Toon-Cog Relations Committee" which works to try and settle the Toon-Cog conflict peacefully. It's not working at all, so the higher-ups just send her paperwork that nobody else wants to do.

- Lukah is reserved, but by no means quiet. She'll fight vehemently for what's right, more than what many would expect out of a pacifist like her. The mediation tactics she uses work wonders on smaller conflicts, but Lukah would rather go for the bigger picture. Her job is not done without the conflict being over for good.

- Many are suspicious of her. After all, why would any cog care about things like "pollution" or "preserving toon humor?" She knows lots of people try to look into her, so she stays far far away from most employees. If she got along with any other suit it would either be the Deep Diver or the C.O.O due to their respect for the environment.

- A top dog is "a person who is successful or dominant in their field."

Anywho! Thank you for expressing interest in them! I hope to eventually have more art of them but most of it is just doodles.... and the occasional self indulgence. Don't worry about it.

ttcc mall au shops

duck shuffler: illegal casino masked as an arcade (SO MANY COMPLAINTS HOW ARE U STILL OPEN) (he has like a codeword to go into casino mode but it’s basically the same phrase as the complaints)

prethinker: phone repair / overall tech repair (none of the tech actually gets fully repaired and he calls u an idiot when u explain how u broke it) (gives em all weird malware)

deep diver: swimming supplies / swimwear / scuba gear

rainmaker: never seen at their actual workplace, still wearing uniform, usually on lunchbreak or hiding out somewhere (if she does work somewhere maybe based on commission / a small kiosk thing)

gatekeeper: the bookstore silly

multislacker: one of those retro tech shops for older tvs and radios, no one knows how this store is still alive especially if multi’s always asleep / slacking so no one buys anything

mouthpiece: either craft store for fiber art, small kiosk for her stuff, bakery, or a candy shop

major player: record shop (flint and pace met there, flint is like THIS close to just quitting and working at this shop, dave sometimes plays his own music)

firesetter and plutocrat: pizza shop silly

featherbedder: mattress shop (they genuinely push the one he likes to sleep on the most, unfortunately super close to dave’s record shop so she never fully snoozes)

pacesetter: sports shop / protein powder / etc etc he very much rigs everything he shows off to customers to sell (ex: a balance bracelet- he put weights in his shoes so no one can push him down)

i don’t know: witch hunter, chainsaw consultant, treekiller, bellringer

[wolfcake101]

oh hey, I got a spark question: does she have any relationships to or opinions on any other characters that haven't been mentioned yet?

OOOH OKAY!! THIS IS A VERY LOVELY QUESTION!!

okay so, despite having fought duck shuffler SO many times (about...7-10 times now) she actually thinks he's pretty cool! they're both silly guys so why not ey?? i like to imagine they've visited a few times and just had game night or placed bets using buck's slot machine face!

deep diver....they're neutral, spark's (platonic) love for her is kinda one sided though...they don't really interact much, besides from spark's occasional break in to some unimportant meetings or whatever, but i imagine spark would love to see whatever pretty sea stuff deep diver would show her!

Gatekeeper.......honestly? At first Spark didn't like her at all but they've probably became good with eachother over their hatred for prester.

Firestarter.... well, Spark would really like to talk to him yknow, because like. arson man. nothing noteworthy besides that though!

treekiller. well...they haven't really interacted...but Spark doesn't like him. at all. the only thing keeping her from hating him is the fact that chip is besties with spruce, and spark likes chip, soo...

Rainmaker! Spark likes her a lot, but I imagine spark is probably a bit. too much for her sometimes. so they dont really hang out but are on good terms methinks! also spark fucking hates barnacle bessie for what she did to rainmaker.

Prethinker, Plutocrat, and especially Witch Hunter.. she hates them. so much. Prethinker is an annoyance with how ""smart"" he is, Plutocrat is just. ugh. stinky short man. witch hunter. holy fucking shit spark hates him. absolute despisement. she wants his ass fucking DEAD.

Pacesetter. oh my cog. Pacesetter gotta be one of spark's favorites. She's probably tried to become a member of the pace place several times! has she succeeded? ..i duno

and last but not least.....

Major Player and High Roller. DO NOT GET ME STARTED DUDE SPARK FUCKING LOVES THEM. (except when major playor pulls a mariah carey as soon as its november 1st) dude has def attended all of their shows (when possible). she vibrates in her seat when she hears high rollers back in town bro

About Project Tempest

About the AU itself

Project Tempest at its most basic is a what if scenario.

What if C.O.G.S. Inc. had a far more power hungry and sadistic leader?

What if managers besides The Chainsaw Consultant had personality overrides?

What if everything had gotten to the point where employees were rebelling against the company? As of now, Project Tempest has very little story set in stone and is focused on five managers and the relationships they have. These managers are

The Pacesetter

The Firestarter

The Deep Diver

The Rainmaker

The Chainsaw Consultant

Not all of the managers will have personality overrides, but at the very least will be impacted by the overrides in some way.

Asks

Asks will always be open to questions about the AU and the characters involved

Please do not send NSFW asks. While the plans for this au are mature in nature, this is not the environment for it

Any hateful asks will be deleted.

If you wish for an ask to be answered in character, please mark it with [IC] at the start of the ask

Submissions may be accepted as well, but keep in mind some may be ignored for the same reason as asks being deleted/ignored

A Note from Fried-Trash

While I'm open to works and suggestions from others becoming part of this, Project Tempest is still a deeply personal fan project to me and fragments of it are based on my personal experiences in life, especially parts of the stories I have for The Pacesetter and The Rainmaker.

Leadership Recommendation The implementation of the new software system for Kudler Fine Foods demands effective leadership approach. With the aim of raising operational efficiency, an introduction of the new automated system will be highly beneficial. The introduction of the new approach aims at replacing the current HRIS system that has been applied by the human resources personnel’s and store manager. Several data are entailing the personnel files, performance reviews, employee grievances, disciplinary actions and payroll processing. Effective leadership importance and proper leadership styles are very crucial in the process (Nieuwenhuizen & Erasmus, 2007). The importance of the effective leadership during a change management initiative emanates from the essential understanding that only under proper effective process is when the transformation operations will run appropriately. Effective leadership is important since it inspires action. It creates or generates a vision of the forthcoming future that derives inspiration of the people managing the change process. The system change must have supporters and those who reject it. Effective leadership will outline the advantages of the system to Kudler Fine Foods staffs. Staffs are always associated with negatively and opposing of incoming changes, especially from the administration. Effective leadership will aim at providing optimism and create a general great vision for the adoption of the new model. Effective leadership creates a positivity and removes doubt in the ability of the newly installed system. The effective leadership format would provide enhanced levels of integrity, fairness and huge respect for the associated stakeholders in the process of managing the system. Proper and effective leadership would create a strong team that works coherently and consistently at their very best of the skills and talents. Proper leadership assures everyone of safe ambiance for success and expansion of their horizons thus allowing them to have a clear picture of what is expected in the process. It further creates a supportive and facilitative environment the team. Effective leadership creates confidence and coordinates the supply chain in case the installation process would demand any entailed logistical process while running the procedure. The attributes of effective leadership would enhance increased communication as it is the only way of transmitting knowledge and skills while undertaking the project. I would recommend the following four leadership styles for Kudler Fine Foods during the change process. Charismatic, innovative, Command & control and pacesetter. The introduction of the new system would influence a large majority of people, therefore, effective adoption depends on the best leadership style borrowed to convince the users.

Maximizing Efficiency in Stone Cutting: How Worm Reduction Gearboxes Make a Difference

The nature of the stone-cutting business requires accuracy, dependability, and speed for the value to be added to products. Reduction gearboxes are reportedly worm reductions gear, a pacesetter in stone-cutting across equipment manufacture to help boost performance and control costs. As for this gearbox, this blog seeks to discuss how it assists in operations in the stone cutting industry.

Superior Torque Output for Heavy-Duty Applications

Stone cutting machines deal with hard and massive materials that need high power for operation. Worm reduction gearboxes excel in:

Delivering High Torque: They effectively translate motor speed into the high level of torque essential for carving and other applications on rock like materials.

Managing Heavy Loads: Its construction allows for their stable operation under a significant level of loading.

Compact Design with Multi-Purpose Applications

Industrial applications especially need to get the space optimized to the fullest. Worm gearboxes stand out due to:

Streamlined Design: Originally, they do not occupy a lot of space making it easier to install them on various equipment that possibly can be available.

Flexible Mounting Options: It is available in machine positioning methods including horizontal, vertical and square mounting to suit a host of layouts.

Ensuring Precision and Operational Stability

Precision and stable conditions are important characteristics in operating the stone cutting equipment. Worm gearboxes contribute by:

Providing Controlled Speed Reduction: Due to this, their gear ratio counts allows for blending steady speed and accuracy to make precise cuts all the time.

Dampening Vibrations: The wo mechanism quiets the vibrations ensuring enhanced cut quality as well as smooth functionality.

Energy Efficiency for Cost-Effective Operations

Energy costs are considered one of the main expenses of any organisation and business. Worm reduction gearboxes support:

Minimizing Power Loss: Their design provides maximum conversion of energy, thus minimizing wastage of energy which is not required.

Long-Lasting Performance: Longevity with very little maintenance is usually a plus since it reduces the general cost of operations and reduces on time the machines would be out of service.

Extending Equipment Longevity

Stone-cutting machines remain under great stress continuously. Worm gearboxes protect these machines by:

Reducing Mechanical Stress: They share operational loads evenly hence; they cause little stress or pressure to other parts.

Resisting Harsh Conditions: Made using strong rugged materials, worm gearboxes are able to withstand abrasive operating conditions and usage.

Quieter Operations for a Better Work Environment

Acoustic control is a much neglected area of manufacturing concerns. Worm gearboxes help by:

Smooth Gear Engagement: Its design minimizes backlash hence less operational noise.

Self-Locking Capability: This avoids reversals that are disruptive and damaging to operational stability, thus extending noise reduction measures.

Diverse Applications in Stone Cutting

To cater to the specific needs of the stone-cutting industry, worm gearboxes offer customization options such as:

Bridge Saws: A machine employed in sawing of large stones into various sizes and shapes as may be required.

Block Cutters: Most suitable in breaking huge pieces of stones into smaller chunks.

Conclusion

Worm reduction gearbox plays the most critical role in increasing the performance, reliability and accuracy in stone cutting machines. High quality yet cost effective customized gearboxes will enable enhancement of business operations, low maintenance costs, and high customer satisfaction. These gearboxes are not just parts – they are the soul of today’s stone-cutting industry success.
