Thank you for being a part of Zedweek! I loved seeing your stuff and we hope you had a great time!

Thank you so much for hosting it! This even got me back into writing after… several months, loll. So thank you for the inspiration and all your wonderful comments and interaction!

I couldn't hold back I had to share some more. One of my favorite aspects of the rancher dynamic is that they're both scoundrels. They're stubborn and have tempers and love revenge and Jimmy was just. on board with bringing up a warden to wreak havoc on the Red Velvet Keep. They can enable each other's insanity

THEYRE. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T HOLD BACK AND SENT THIS ALSO BECAUSE....

sometimes. (not aLL the time) but sometimes people make Jimmy too...passive. but my god he is the most defensive person literally ever in the entire world...Jimmy would so much rather go directly for escalating a situation and making it worse than roll over. He's the perpetual target right? His first instinct is kinda of like when an animal tries to appear bigger and threatening so you won't mess with it,, he immediately goes for doubling down and trying to appear untouchable,,,, of course. he is jimmy. this does not work. AND WHEN IT DOESNT, HES STILL TOO STUBBORN TO STOP,, he. his self-fulfilling prophecy the situations he gets in always worsen for him more than anyone else,,

but that kind of stuff is what Tango's good at...like Tango bringing the warden to the surface in dl is nowhere near an isolated event for him he does things like that all the time. and so you're right they are so similar in some ways (and I could draft an entire post about this itself, they are so so so similar sometimes) with this propensity for revenge but more than that its like...tango is able to arm that feeling in jimmy, that need for chaos where he's the perpetrator and not the victim. Cause it never quite works out when he tries on his own...not that it necessarily works out always for Tango as well, or even works out that specific time with the warden, but he gives jimmy something to DO about it rather than just. try and act threatening and then backtrack and give in when it doesn't work.

and. while we're here. I'm so sorry I get carried away very easily talking about them. but about the STUBBORNNESS. when I said they were similar in many ways...one of those things (though it presents maybe differently on the surface) is the insecurity and idea they each hold about themselves that they are...less capable than the other players...their insistent need to always take the blame. and so. this being something they share...AND the stubbornness...AND the fact that they both have a quick draw temper...this can easily both be good for them and bad for them.

good for them in the sense...they're both SO insistent on blaming things on themselves that they end up taking blame OFF OF the other. like. it's always an assumed "I'm in the wrong" and then the other makes the same comment and they work so hard trying to debunk why it can't POSSIBLY be the others fault they come to the conclusion NEITHER of them deserve the blame after all. GOOD!

bad for them in the sense....remember what I said about Jimmy's instinct being to double down? I do think this similarity and stubbornness and temper would make it so easy to. delve into a fight. only in just the perfectly WRONG combination of circumstances. And I spent like 3 months analyzing how this dynamic would come up in a uhh fight between them and wrote a uhhh 6K word fic I've dubbed "the fight fic" that I never published because I was like man. would the entire rancher community hate me if I suddenly posted 6K words of the ranchers fighting with no warning? LMAO

but. anyway I feel like I digressed so much there haha I'm normal about them <33

[rejectedmcytpollshowdown]

this is such a fun and magnificent idea!! It sucks so bad being excluded. I won't be submitting him here because he was in the tournament but the toxicity given to Purpled in the Purple Boy Tournament by the voters was insane!! Purple is in his name!! The bias some people have against mcyt is so disheartening and what you're doing here gives me serious hope and I'm excited for this bracket :)

thank you so much!! yeah, the exclusion from all the fun tumblr polls recently has been.. not fun.. and im glad youre excited and that this poll can help distract from some of the hate!!! :D

[mauv-the-bluest-cat-ever]

Thank you for being a fantastic part of Zedweek!!

wahh

[seasonal-writes]

I am. so normal about Prince Grian potential

okay but like SAME, my guy. i have so many thoughts about him. he does what he's told. he talks back. he teases his baby brother. he would die for him. he is strong. he is so sensitive. LIKE. HE IS SO MANY THINGS ALL CONTRADICTING. prince grian, to me, is constantly trying to keep everything sorta balanced. maybe it's just the projection of 'older sibling' onto him, but like.. he's the heir. he has a big world already sitting on his shoulders. he gets told his little brother's being forced into something out of POLITICS and he fights it, tooth and nail. he would never show it, but ohhh does it hurt him when there is nothing he can do. he's offered so much say and power, and yet at the end of the day, it's futile. i like to think that's the one thing that disturbs him the most. but. similar to jimmy, he is acquainted with denial. which would probably make finding out his brother's run away a very.. interesting moment. but yeah. i don't even know what else to say about him,, just,,, ough. love him. he does have so much potential.

[parissfrogg]

Traffic Zed!!!! Why are Joel, Pearl, and Grian on his list? Do you think he allied with anybody?

Hi!!! Traffic Zed!!

I kinda chose people at random, but I do have ideas for each of them.

-Joel would try to kill Zed, thinking he will not put up much of a fight. He is wrong about this, because Zed is incredibly unhinged and WILL be bloodthirsty. Joel is now terrified of him.

-Pearl: there can only be one absolutely feral hermit on this server and now they will fight for it. Or team up. Chaos either way.

-Grian. Idk I think they would be at each other’s throat like stray cats

He would 100% ally with Impulse, Tango, and Skizz. But as I said before, him and Jimmy would be so funny together.

fankids!!!!!!!!!!!! :OOOO :DDDDD

I know this is late, but we ended up sleeping all day on accident ;o;

Okay so Pyre (headmate) chose violence and decided to make a Tangdubs fanchild just for fun. His name his Nova, he's a funky little guy, and I kinda adore him cus just look! Look him!

He's getting tweaked a little over time so he might end up looking different in the future, but for rn Nova! He's the oldest, maybe three years older than Sprig (Kai/Caro got renamed, hopefully for the last time ;o;) and is a few months younger than Olive (Rendoc child).

His personality isn't fully fleshed out, but he's pretty hot-headed and flamey like Tango. Would gladly bite someone in both the affectionate and "I wanna fucking murder you" kinda ways.

Sprig and Cozy also got a minor tweaks + heroforge models! Might redo Sprig again cus not super happy rn, but the theater kid himself and just the littlest of lasses (she might also be retweaked) <3

(Gave Cozy a pet rat cus he felt like it XD - Pyre)

Olive is the only one that doesn't have a design now, but tbh it might take a while before we settle on theirs.

Anyways; The Bdubs polycule family is finished and if we add another then I will breakdown and cry /lh

[elipsis-art]

mumscarian for the ship bingo? :o

Hello!!

I still like this ship a lot, actually! It used to be one of my favourites, but I kinda fell out of it.

[bashfulmusician]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I hope it's an amazing one!! <3

Awwwwwww, thank you! ♥️ I miss you! (And I know your birthday is coming up too, sooo 👀)

[seasonalflowerr]

I'm so normal about that post/scenario. The planet Jimmy brings him back to is wrecked, the remnants of something truly cataclysmic

(But it's the place where Tango's heart and soul were, not the expanse of space. He crumbles under the gravity -- onto HC9)

OH SAME I'M SO NORMAL ABOUT IT oh my goddd :(((( i'm gonna SCREAM AND CRY AND AISFJKSDFJ that's sooooo,,,i have no real words about it but oUGHGH

[12u3ie]

nods at you...fellow Kris & Jack enjoyer. Person of culture

Hello fellow person of culture! Let us laugh at two funny British men together

[canarydarity]

hi hello!! Any thoughts on Team Rancher and iron? I think there's something about Tango of the Tek being recognized as the "iron guy" and him giving Jimmy some of his iron in their first episode (I am insane). He's not much of a blacksmith like Impulse or Skizz but iron is natural in his hands and Jimmy can be impressed. And something about it being his equivalent to Nether gold. And something about him making polished axes and hoes and helmets for his Rancher that Jimmy appreciates but doesn't think further on and Tango is happy to see his gifts of something from his element recieved well

OOHHHHHHHHH MAN. the whole nether being and giving gifts instinct thing is one of my favorite widely accepted headcanons for them,, and I love the point you're making saying Tango's equivalent for that is iron and not gold...because youre so right !! he's the iron guy !! iron farms are his thing !!! You mention him giving Jimmy some of his iron in the first ep,,, yes the boots,,, but it's not even JUST that. oh man I'm so glad you brought this up. I rewatched Tango's dl pretty recently and besides him giving Jimmy that iron...he also TALKS about it multiple times those first few sessions. He says it to ETHO even. he's trying to trade Etho for some iron and he goes "oh come on four pieces?! I have to provide for my partner." and then later on in the season is mining for iron himself and goes "alright, I need more stuff for tools and I need more stuff for Jimmy." Which just....okay first of all Tango immediately deciding He Is The Provider in the relationship makes me lose it so much. but second...that gift giving instinct headcanon is sooo not even far off and youre SO REAL for connecting it to iron for Tango I love it. Especially because...like the examples you give at the end with tools and armor...thats another point to make. Tango would want his gifts to be FUNCTIONAL. They wouldn't have to be...I'm sure that some polished iron or gold nuggets or some trinkets would work their way into Jimmy's hands also... but for the most part? Tango would look to give gifts of USE...weapons tools armor appliances patented tango tek invention doo-dads...yes...yes...watching something be made easier for Jimmy by a gift Tango provided him? Addicting, he won't be able to stop once he starts.
