Hey, it's been like. a year since I was here. I'm still alive! but I've changed my ideas and my lore for TF2. I don't wanna get rid of this blog/account, but I won't be using this for the time being

I've just made @the-chaosfaes-tf2-team for my new ramblings, it'll follow from @cherry-blxssxm-chaos

and! Assassin is entered in the @/tf2occontest (don't wanna spam tags) and she, Retriever, and Miss Dunning (no Arcanist atm, but she may come back) have received design upgrades! see them on my main, the aforementioned cherry-blxssxm-chaos

also, hope you all are doing alright, come follow me over there now!

I did plan an OC, which is kinda more like a Spy-sona, who is an humanoid-like alien who is from an unknown planet from outer space. Space Spy goes by He/him and by They/them pronouns [mostly refered as they them]

Description on appearance: He is shown to be a Purple Spy with a matching purple top hat [The suit has white folds and has white, fancy frilled sleeves] with a gold ribbon tied around it with a yellow moon on said ribbon. They have slightly pointy ears, green eyes with a light green glimmer to them and has pale purple skin (although he disguises himself to appear human). He also wears a gold bowtie with a yellow star in the middle of it.

Space Spy also wears purple and gold space shoes. He would sometimes wear a light pale purple/pale magenta jetpack with a single horisontal grey stripe near the thrusters, as well as the part where the person would wear the jetpack on is gray.

(that sounds so cool! I bet he'd look CELESTIAL in game! I've got Assassin, Retriever, and newly made Arcanist, the latter of which... may join the blog a while down the line or may just be a discord only muse... We'll see!)

(to prove I'm still alive, guess who's tiredly making the TF2 Mercenaries (including my OCs, which includes a new gal-) into ponies in Pony Town...?

.... I have fixation mode enabled)

To be clear, unless staff trips over the trail of extension cords keeping the servers running, Tumblr likely isn't going anywhere any time soon.

What the info we've seen suggests is that updates are going to slow down, maintenance is maybe going to get a little shaky, and we're going to see more glitches as time goes on and the remaining staff gets further behind their workload.

Is this a good thing? No, absolutely not.

Should you be panicking, jumping overboard, running for the hills, etc? Also no.

So what does it mean?

Well, for myself and several other creatives you all saw tagged in that post, it means we're looking around trying to figure out what to do in the long run. We're not running for the lifeboats. We're just eyeing the iceberg in the distance and getting our shit together in the event that the worst comes to pass.

Speaking for myself, I intend to crawl through the walls of Tumblr until they pry me out of the air vents armed with a broom and oven mitts. I'm not going anywhere until the lights go out, and even then, I'll be chewing on the wires.

But that doesn't mean I'm not looking around for somewhere to land when the time comes.

Myself and several others are not panicking about this, but we are trying to be organized about it.

I'm just old enough to remember when fandom websites being nuked overnight was a very real thing. You'd go to bed one night and wake up the next day to find friends you'd known for years were just gone with no means of contacting them because the site you'd been using got wiped. Entire collections of fandom history were just destroyed in the blink of an eye.

We don't want that again. And the good news is, we have time. We have time to back up our shit, time to swap contact info with our friends, and time to find a new place to exist within our communities while also staying here because Tumblr ain't dead yet.

She's just slowly going to wind down over time.

Unless, of course, they trip over the cables. Then we're fucked.

Boy if I’ve got you added on Discord or I’m following you on tumblr don’t be afraid to reach out. I’ve added or followed you for a reason I want to get to know the person behind the account better. I’m not following you out of pity, if you get a following notif or friend notif from me it is a sign that we are now friends, I am forcing you to be my friend, we are friends now. Now let’s hold hands and frolick into the sunset

Spooky Month final

(Admin x Pauling) Happy Halloween!!!!!>333

[tf2-plus2]

The Mercenaries were all set up in the back of a decorated truck in Teufort for trick-or-treating. Everyone was dressed as one or another horror movie iconic villain or character they'd picked. The kids didn't care who was behind the masks and makeup, excited to get candy and treats from their favorite scary characters.

There were a few games as well, Scout, Retriever, and Pyro manned the bobbing for apples, Engineer, Sniper, and Demo were running the duck netting game, and Assassin and Spy were guiding kids through an inflatable obstacle course while Soldier barked orders. Pauling, Heavy, and Medic handed out candy while Saxton and Administrator watched the whole ordeal. At least they'd brought plenty of treats, it looked like it was going to be a long night of treats and tricks.

[tf2-plus2]

(ALSO THIS BLOG IS DOING THE TRICK OR TREAT THING SO FEEL FREE TO SEND IN ASKS!)

[tf2-plus2]

(alright. full confession. I had art planned for today. but work and life kinda kept interrupting. I'm going to do my best to get it done before midnight, but in the event I'm late-!

Here are the sketches with everyone in their costumes, I'll note who's who in the actual art post, because rest assured I'll post the whole thing regardless of if I'm on time or not, haha

but hope everyone's having a Happy Halloween, and enjoy the night!

also a bonus of the mun in costume!

[tf2-plus2]

Pyro paraded through the base with his costume on, a tape recorder playing the soundtrack of the Halloween movie. They gleefully checked on the others, seeing the team in varying states of being in costume or makeup or both.

He stopped outside Assassin's room, knocking gently.

"Yeah?"

"Mmh hmm ph-mhph?"

Her head popped out of the door, "Almost. I can't find the prop knife for some reason. You think I could just. Carry my usuals?"

They gave a thumbs up.

"Cool- I don't leave them behind anyways. Then yeah, I'll be out in the lobby in 2 minutes, kay?"

"Mmh-phmm!" Pyro giggled and went onward to the next room.

[tf2-plus2]

please can we do inbox trick-or-treating this year. can we make that a thing on tumblr. please please please please please

[tf2-plus2]

Sniper grumbled as he looked at his costume. There was some shindig happening in the town and the whole team was supposed to be there for pictures and nonsense. Miss Pauling had said something about 'public relations' so they weren't harassed and stopped every time they went to a bar or grocery store or restaurant.

Whatever. At least Retriever would be there.

He grumbled and groaned as he put on the costume. He was about to put the hat on over the stupid wig when his boyfriend's hand stopped him, "Ah, come on, Conall!"

"Your hat's not part of th' costume, Mick," Retriever's voice teased, "An' you an' I know how much some'a th' others'll complain."

"You know I hate this dog an' pony show bullshit..." Sniper tossed the hat onto their couch.

"An' we all agreed t' grin an' bear it for jus' two nights this year. T'night an' actu'l Halloween," the other pulled him in close, "Now. Leatherface an' Cujo're ready, is Chucky?" Retriever motioned with his prop chainsaw to Wally, with animal friendly fake blood matting his fur in places.

He rolled his eyes, but nodded, "Yeah. I'm ready as I'll be for this."

[tf2-plus2]

The two shared a look, Retriever was probably the one person on the team who could get more than surface emotions out of a look from Assassin. They didn't think she had, given how she'd run off like that, but being that aggressive wasn't usually Clover's style.

"We didn't think ya had, promise. Let's jus' getcha cleaned up an' checked over. Gotta make sure you're alright too," Retriever gave a soft smile to reassure her. Assassin looked... somewhere between neutral and concerned.

Assassin had witnessed the whole thing, now caught between horrified at what her teammate had done and worried for her as she just. Froze. She pulled down her mask, "Cl-Clo...? Clover...?" She started taking a step forward and Retriever put a hand on her shoulder.

"Jus'... Hold it, first..." He shook his head, "Maybe she'll... wake back up."

... ...She shakily stands, panting and trembling, as the last of the mess drips from her lips. Whatever remains of the mess apart from the blood, poison, static matter and lifeblood ink on her body and face disappears. She doesn't make eye-contact with anyone, she just turns around, starting to slowly walk back to the base. She looks horrified.

[tf2-plus2]

Assassin picked up her pace a bit to catch up to Clover, "Clo? Hey, are you alright?" She wasn't quite in front of her, trying to not put the other on edge.

Retriever followed, staying behind Assassin with Wally keeping at his side, "Ya gave us all a bit of a scare there. Ya need the Doc t'patch anythin' up?"

Assassin had witnessed the whole thing, now caught between horrified at what her teammate had done and worried for her as she just. Froze. She pulled down her mask, "Cl-Clo...? Clover...?" She started taking a step forward and Retriever put a hand on her shoulder.

[tf2-plus2]

"Alright- Now can we check on her?" Assassin shrugged off the hand and started after Clover while the teams sort of... stood in shock. A few dispersed from BLU to go find the Scout and make sure he was okay.

Retriever, sighed and followed his teammate, Sniper slowly following the both of them to keep an eye on the Texan. Wally trotted by his side as he caught up to the woman, "Guess you're takin' that criticism 'bout being a team player more serious?"

"You've all harped on me about keeping distant from everyone. But this is different, you saw the other stuff, not just the blood. We need to make sure she's okay."

"Issat all the costumes ya need, then?" Engineer had opened one of the closets for Scout and Pyro to rummage through for everyone's chosen costumes. Retriever was packing things up as they found them so everything was organized.

"'Cept for the props, that's everyhing!" Scout beamed, holding his Jason costume bits and pieces. The mask was slung loosely over his head.

"Heh. Where's my li'l guy? I might adjust a thin' or two..." He grinned.

"Come on, Engie... Jus' leave Jigsaw as he is! We gotta do some trickin' an' treatin'! Ya can't be scarin' everyone away from givin' us candy."

The older man chuckled and slapped Scout on the back, "Eh, alrigh'. But can't promise nothin' for the others!"
