Doodle dump with Michel, the Engineer he thinks look cute, and their entire team

Little ramble of his backstory under the cut because I love Michel

So I will be telling this in shit post form. Sorry tumblr folks, my decent writing is for discord only snndxn

So Michel turned into that because the team Medic had a magnificent idea. Like one night he watched NatGeo and it happened to be how mischievous octopus are and he thought "lmao, what if Spy does that......

...

WHAT IF SPY DOES THAT"

So yeah, he went to their Spy and went "you want to naturally become invisible without a watch?? And also make your bones like memory foam so you can squeeze through tight spaces??"

"you son of a bitch I'm in"

And so Medic like stole an octopus from an aquarium nearby and like took samples from it to make this serum he injects on Michel.

But like the effects kicks in slowly and hypothetically it would last a month.

Both Medic and Spy agreed to spam Uber on Spy to see if it boosts the serum since it kinda does stuff to your bloodstream. I dunno, it's Uber.

Three Ubers in and he can slightly control his camouflage, on like the eight time, he can completely change his skin to match the surroundings on command, is extremely flexible and they tried if he can squeeze through a closed window and he did. It's disgusting but he did

BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THERE

Yes, he got some desired effects from rushing it but one month is one month. He's gonna get more from the serum whether he likes it or now.

How did he get the tentacles? Easy. Constantly being respawned. It's just like getting ubered but stronger since it rearranges the entire body rather than only affecting skin and blood.

One month after, he turned into THAT

.

.

.

Now that's out of the way, I'm gonna explain the doodles badly

.

.

The topmost doodles were the first doodles of Michel actually being a character. His gills are hella strong unlike regular fish gills that dies to a single grip. They're attached to his lungs so that's why smoke comes out of it. They're also extremely ticklish because yes-

Just don't shove your hand in it ffs, good lord, why would you do that-

The second one is a joke (*in the same cadence as "Dinkleberg"* Sussuri) because I'm pretty shit at anatomy in general

The ones under it are me showing off his squishiness. And messing around because of course I'd add that.

Then the painkillers one is because he grew two extra hearts and like he doesn't want them, it makes him feel icky thinking about it. It also feels weird when you're being active and you feel three heartbeats. Euughh, I wouldn't want that too. Yeah if you're gonna take off organs as vital as a heart while keeping the patient alive, you've want to douse them in painkillers while the operation takes like at least a day probably. He didn't get scars, they heal at an alarming rate

The next ones are mostly his Engie. His name is Sal (no last name yet) and he's newly transferred to the team. He's a rambler too. Michel being a listener finds that quite endearing.

Okay I can explain why he has legs. It's a disguise but it came from a specialized kit made by the Medic and the other Engineer. It was made to last for long periods of time and its harder to fade, it also does not disappear when the wearer attacks. However, it only has one guise and that's Michel pre-tentaspy

They totally did not prepare that because they know something will go wrong, nope, no siree! Guarantee!

My boy gained a bitch in the span of one day but the disguise had to fail because of course it would. Sal, like any rational person would, freaked out and tells the team, to which they all replied with "yeah he's an octopus" like it's a normal occurrence (technically it is to them) without any context.

It's okay, Medic told him exactly what happened

Also ignore how badly designed the entire team is, it took me *checks watch* 30 minutes while I was running on homemade chai latte. I did not look at actual cosmetics, I just slapped in what I remember. They cannot exist in game sbnddn

The two Pyros are the only ones with names (excluding Michel and Sal)

Dion (stock Pyro) and Mantha (kitty Pyro)

Also the Medic and Sniper here are together if that isn't already obvious sndndn

.

Aye dont worry, Michel and Sal winds up together because I'm a chronic Engiespy shipper and of course they would

One last thing I'd like to add is that I gave Michel my beauty marks (two moles on the chin and one on the nose)

#Did I half bake all the lore in two days? Yes. Yes I did- why would I not? Of course I would- #To be fair it also took me one whole day to come up with the other half of the plot of CTG #Jell's fast at making stories but he slow as hell trying to polish it #Tf2 #team fortress 2 #Tf2 Spy #Tf2 Medic #Tf2 Engineer #Tf2 Soldier #Tf2 Demoman #Tf2 Heavy #Tf2 Scout #Tf2 Sniper #Tf2 Pyro #Tentaspy #Engiespy #i drew this #doodle #jellazticious #jella characters #*puts face in hands* oh god not like this #Not when it's Artfight month #Michel (Tentaspy)

im showing my friend clanker the awesome six eggs and single ice key i found today

#happy easter clanker #for the past three days ive just been playing banjo kazooie for fun #ended originally with a time of 8:22:12 #but that changed when i wanted to try getting the stop n swop stuff for the first time on my copy of banjo #so the final time is 9:32:33 #i forgot how much i disliked rusty bucket bay. good lord that engine room and stinky bad water #every other level was fine. though i got so confused at first as to what jiggy i was missing in click clock woods #it was just the one on the branch at the very top of the tree. i wouldve never found it had i not looked it up #notes and honeycombs though? did those purely from memory #jiggies too i guess minus the single 1 out of 100 #which i think is better than what i was hoping to achieve playing without a guide #i didnt get all mumbo tokens though. i DID get the ones you could easily lose if done wrong though. #i need 7 more mumbo tokens basically to reach 100% #i was also very tempted to 100% gruntys furnace fun (i.e. all squares) but. at a point i was like ''hm. no lets not'' #maybe someday. just not then. #i managed to blind guess a lot of grunty questions though #only talked to her sister like. once. and i didnt get any of those questions on the quiz #oh yknow whats fucked up? that one shortcut between rusty bucket bay and mad monster mansions puzzle #you cant break the gate for it if you raise the water level too high #also it took me until today to learn that CheatO's cheats are upgrades and not... cheats #fucked up. but i didnt have too much problems without it. <- he died to grunty once only cause he got knocked off the tower #anyway sorry for the strange photo quality. played on my n64 on an old crt ive had. and i only have a lamp on in my room. #its not as dark as it looks in the image atleast #i also learned that banjo kazooie has way more cheats than i ever knew about #before collecting all the stop n swop stuff. i gave myself the infinite air underwater cheat cause. god. #its so nice to swim around with any anxiety. mostly just used it to swim with clanker for a bit. :). #didnt need it for any other reasons. i done collected everything else girlies #though kid me used a lot of cheat codes in tooie. only because i had a magazine that had all the codes #i 100%'d that one a few years ago i think. jiggies atleast. i think. #anyway. :) clanker

Ok so I used to write and since college, my degree takes all of my available brainpower and precious motivation so I basically stopped 4 years ago. Maybe I can try again once I finish my master’s next year.

Anyway, point is, I miss the dopamine hit of posting and getting comments SO BAD. So bad you have no idea it used to be the best part of my day. And I’ve always been kind of a lurker as a reader and felt guilty for it, because I know how good it feels to read comments.

And then I started leaving comments. This week, I’ve made an effort to start leaving little comments, only a sentence like “I loved x that was so funny!” Or “omg y is killing me!” And y’know what I’ve found?

The comment response email in my inbox is like a little mini version of the rush I used to get from getting comments. It feels so good to love a work, brave the mortifying ordeal of being known by leaving a comment, and getting human connection back.

I see a lot of posts talking about how comments keep fanfiction alive, and they’re right, but commenting can help you too, y’know? It’s connecting over something you love, and especially if you can’t write yourself it gives you a little window into the tiny community being a fanfiction author generates.

#ao3 #fanfiction #idk I just miss writing so bad #I really did kill my writing skill at the alter of engineering #I rewired my brain to be as concise as possible for technical writing and when I try to creative write #I feel like I cut off my hand. it just doesn’t flow #but I have faith that one day #I’ll start up again

since plants can seemingly make any matter, even down to complicated replications of flesh (like with the salmon sandwiches), would it be possible for them to replicate a human? Like, not an independent but just a 3D-printed human? 🤔🤔

#trigun #trigun stampede #I can't imagine they would pop out alive because how horrifying that would *that* be #but imagine trying to formulate a specific meat and instead it's just oops! all human bits #stampede seems to sidestep this a bit by making it so a single plant produces incredibly specific compounds #but also they still managed to figure out how to make artificial salmon well enough to package and sell it so who knows #that would be a funny horror concept actually #imagine some plant engineer schmuck finding a single human hand floating in a tank on his daily rounds #and he cleans it out and files an incident report but every day he goes back there's a more extensive body growing #and no matter how much he tweaks or cleans the tank the plant keeps making this rapidly extending body anew every day #after a few weeks he realizes that the plant is replicating him specifically #and then one day he comes in and the tank is empty...but he knows deep down it's not because the plant stopped remaking him #and now he's certain there's another him in the facility hunting for him 😈😈 #anyways the plot twist would be the plant being mad about their saline solution mix being constantly slightly off or something

more abt this pls!: https://at.tumblr.com/aroaceleovaldez/705000157041852416/9ruvlr0xn2f9

(Post in question - [x])

Okay, consider:

Hera succeeds in roasting baby Leo in the fireplace like a demigod glazed ham, and he becomes immortal. Leo, with his horrible self-esteem issues, obviously tries to hide this. He rejects his immortality and powers as much as he can, blaming them in equal parts for what happened to his mother. He reigns in his immortality with careful precision - don’t smite bullies, don’t light them on fire, don’t take any risks. He gets through his first quest and to the Seven being gathered with people only finding out about his pyrokinesis. One out of two ain’t bad.

Percy’s Curse of Achilles isn’t washed away by the Little Tiber, and Hera/Juno is generous enough to gift him the Nemean lion pelt back for while he’s wandering aimlessly around California as a little extra insurance to cover his Achilles heel (and since he helped kill it and retrieve its pelt in the first place). The Romans are greeted by a teenager who looks like a god carrying an old lady and wearing the most ridiculous ugly fluffy coat they’ve ever seen on top of mysteriously tattered clothes, despite him and the ugly coat looking otherwise wholly intact. He then proceeds to control the Little Tiber, slay two gorgons, the old lady turns out to be Juno, and his ugly coat turns into a lion’s pelt. His lion’s pelt is bulletproof. He is bulletproof. The Romans are suddenly not sure if Percy’s pillowpet is also bulletproof. Octavian answers that for them. Everything about him screams the epitome of an ancient hero.

Jason is the son of two gods. One through adoption, yes, but belief is a powerful thing. And when all of Camp Jupiter’s occupants eye him with the knowledge of his true parents - not his assigned caretakers in New Rome - rumors spread. They say he brings storm and thunder, leadership and law thanks to Jupiter. They say he can control the winds and fly, thanks to Juno. They say he was nursed by the she-wolf Lupa, just like Romulus. That he is the gods’ chosen, their hero of Rome. That he alone slayed a Titan with his own fists, performed the spolia opima rites with his spoils of war from Krios and became praetor. That he alone ended the Titan War. They say he bleeds ichor. Eventually it becomes true.

Now, the three of them are stuck on a ship together. For months. Percy and Jason are eyeing each other like when you try to push two magnets together. Everyone is wondering how this will go - Percy, seemingly indestructible, and Jason, who everyone believed to be a young god so much that he became one. It feels like if they clash everything might explode. Frank is a little peeved that he’s the one who got nerfed with a piece of firewood for being OP when he’s on a ship with what appears to be basically two literally indestructible teenagers. The two are almost comically picture perfect demigods. They literally can’t be injured. Staring at Jason too long makes their eyes hurt, and standing too close to him makes their hair stand on end. Weapons bounce off of and break against Percy like they’re nothing. He casually wears around a magic lion’s pelt, of a magic lion that he personally had slain! Every time they butt heads the skies and oceans roar.

And then, Leo gets injured in battle. He can’t hide it fast enough; he bleeds gold.

Everyone has a lot of questions.

(Frank is more peeved that it was actually three indestructible teenagers.)

#pjo #percy jackson #leo valdez #jason grace #ask #anonymous #au #i call this au ''the one where Frank feeling threatened by Leo is actually way more compelling than canon'' #i like to think in this au Hazel would find out about Leo's immortality before everyone else - because it's Hazel and Leo of course #Hazel's probably trying to find out more about him to see if she can learn anything new about Sammy #and she manages to get through Leo's defenses enough for him to start letting his guard down around her a bit #and she genuinely doesn't seem to mind *him* him - not the persona he keeps up - so he lets her hang around the engine room with him #until one day she notices how the insides of his work gloves glitter in the light #and she notices the tiny cuts on his hands from tinkering with machines - all gold #and he explains it to her and begs her not to tell anyone #< can you tell i have Leo and Hazel thoughts #i love their dynamic so much

Seeing how terrible basically any search engine is nowadays is painful and makes me feel like I’m losing my mind every time I have to use one, because I was used to 00s-10s google actually giving me what I wanted and not ads and vaguely related shit,

but now when I look up a tech issue or something on any search engine it feels like they all basically put their hands on their knees and bend down to look me in the eye like an adult would to a toddler and ask “do you know what a “com-pyew-ter” is? Do you know what “tek-nol-o-jee” is?” instead of telling me how to fix a problem or give me the damn meme I would have been able to find on them 5 years ago

I think if I had to use modern search engines for college instead of the still pretty bad but at least I got high-validity results search engines of the mid-late 2010s I would start gnawing my limbs off in sheer rage

#vena vents #not art #Like I can't be the only one who feels insane when trying to find something on search engines these days right #even yandex seems to have gotten worse for images #and it was great for finding images

I didn’t almost forget it was Thomas day you almost forgot it was Thomas day

#thomas and friends #thomas the tank engine #ttte thomas #Guess what #This is actually my first Thomas day in the fandom #Look all the fandoms I’ve actually been in for years are dead now #And by that I mean the only real fandom I’ve been in for years is Piggy and it’s dead now #Not much I can do but enter new ones and try to keep the Skid and Pump tag alive

how to make a character who sucks so bad and nobody likes him but he is genuinely a good protagonist (good as in interesting, maybe on a rare day good as in decent but also, just like, an incredible jackass) . i need to make him worse i need to make him MEANER!

#i think the key to getting this kind of character right is that he can't try to be anybody's boss #that's not the fun and engaging kind of jackass that's just reminding the reader of all the bosses they've hated in their time #the engaging and likeable Guy Who Sucks So Bad is a loner who might CLAIM that he will take over the group or whatever and lead #but never actually has any intentions of doing so because part of the things he sucks re: is responsibility of any kind #he does however know that leaders dont like other people horning in on their territory so he will say things like #i'm gonna wreck your shit and then all your lackeys will follow ME! ouahahahahaha . despite having zero plans to follow up with that #the ideal engaging asshole protagonist is a rebel without a good cause: maybe he has a sad backstory; maybe he's just a dick #but if there's one thing about him you can count on it's that he is Opposed To Shit. doesnt matter what it is his primary entertainment #is picking a fight with it for no reason and then saying what the fuck ever i didn't care about it anyway (he didn't) #ideally this is all done in such a way that he is SEXY . but you'd never want to hang with him because he is deeply obnoxious #he is not bossy. he is not controlling. he is maybe even a bit of a wife guy except he hates everyone else and wants to make their day wors #because making someone else's day worse makes HIS day better . the ideal wife for him is the one from ordinary day with peanuts #by shirley jackson #and i have GOT to figure out a way to engineer this guy without copying examples of my favorite versions of him wholesale #i have the scaffolding. but because of my own confrontation-averse tendencies #im terribly concerned that i will never be able to actually make him the asshole he was born to be #q

any fic that mentions anakin liking the rain is just 👌👌👌

#i am still deep in the obikin rabbit hole #just… #that one engineer!anakin fic changed me as a person #yesss he’d like rain so much and he’d run into it as a child and he’d still have a deep fascination towards it as an adult #yes he’d run into a storm and have a yelling match with thunders #and yes he’d hate wasting water and try to turn off the tap when it flows for no reason #and he’d hate pouring water down the drain when it can be used for something else #never mind holidaying on the beach #he should spend some days in space scotland and soak in all the rain and perhaps he’d have calmed down

making ocs is all fun and games until you try to write concrete lore about a nebulous yet core concept that you previously handwaved for the sake of "it's cool if this happens"

#i am Trying. to figure out how archangel resurrects. but i can't see myself using the infinite clones avenue in that setting #and it feels lame if he just like. pops back up again in a few days like hi im back :) #and i don't know whether i want to go with a more magic-based (the wizards curse) or tech-based (the nanomachines son) approach #because both have pros and cons but :( i just feel like its kind of stupid in general..... #most of what ive done with him so far has been from a more magic-based angle (caught by mages and bound to the undying frame) #but i've always handwaved the undying frame part a little bit. like oh he just reforges himself :) kind of like a phoenix or whatever #but How does that work. i feel like i need to have something figured out so i can write about rhinn digging around in his guts #and playing engineer with his empty shell. which would suggest a more tech-based approach for the eroticism of circuitry and machines #but full tech feels out of place in the setting (very bloodborne dark souls inspired) but also i want a million robots in there #for enrichment. but :( #i need to put him down ig. like all other compelling robot characters because he is too hard to work with #see more tags is something that can be so dangerous sorry to anyone that falls for this one simple trick

i love your art style so much, it's rad as hell. how long have you been drawing? :o

you mean the goofy little sketches i do from time to time? if so, that's really kind of you to say!!! that said, i wouldn't necessarily say they're the peak of my drawing abilities though, since i just draw with a mouse.

i use to draw a lot when i was growing up, though after getting Gmod for the first time, and subsequently SFM, i moved over into those programs to make my art, and kinda stopped drawing from that point.

i don't normally draw a whole lot these days, but when it comes to how i draw the stuff above, really i just find the messiness of using a mouse to draw really goofy, that and it's kinda nice to draw stuff without it needing to be perfect. it's just silly lines.

but regardless, thank you for the kind words, im glad you like my silly stuff

#ask #now if you meant the sketch of Boe that i use for my icon and a few other goofy posts i made? that was drawn by my friend Kikkini #(Kikkinimomini on Twitter) #i think he has a tumblr account too but i don't remember his handle offhand... #that sketch of Boe was one of the first ones he sent me. regarding a skeleton OC. #i really feel he struck a really good balance between ominous and kinda goofy with the sketch #that and the inclusion of the mohawk being pink really sold it for me #i would like to try and create how i actually imagine Boes world in Limbo and Hell some day #which. is very similar to Gorillaz' Phase 2 era and old ''find the hidden object games'' like Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst #in which its just like. full of junk and polution and whatnot #though with Limbo specifically. i imagine blue/purple clouded night skies over roaming empty grassy fields with nothing in the horizon #and Boes house being in the center of it all. with a long empty road in front of it #i think of Boes house as like. similar to the Ravenhearst manor or the iSpy spooky mansion #old fashioned house with a lot of junk inside #i also kinda think about Pajama Sam's colour palette in the land of darkness a lot regarding limbo and hell #the purples and dark blues of the night sky. the reds and oranges of the lava caves. #id kinda want to make what i imagine in the Source engine. but i already have trouble starting stuff in Hammer as it is #maybe some day i'll commit to it and design what i want. but ough..... #anyway thank you for the kind words anon!!!

Google search fucking sucks man, just got myself in a lil huff cuz I was searching Mayuri refs and realized that, despite cranking out so much goddman fanart of that man over the years, NONE of my shit shows up on there, even if i try different filters and scroll alllll the way to the end. The only thing of mine I saw was that cutout I made which somehow wound up over on that tumblr clone website (tumpix or smth?)

And the only reason I'm huffing about this is cuz I used to be at the TOP of that damn search for Kisame art, not cuz I was popular or good but cuz I drew so goddamn much of it, so idk what's different now? Maybe it's just cuz most of the Mayuri stuff is so (relatively) new... oof... yah no idea

It's just a weird little obsession of mine I guess, like it's a badge of honor that you sure do draw that guy a lot:/

Although @seeveekat your bunny Mayuri charm was in there😂 which i thought was cool

#it's always the same handful of fanart i see tho #my shit aside there must be so much more out there that I'll never see #cuz google is shit #*yes i know i should try a different search engine and maybe i will one of these days*

What if Harley leaned on her PhD to became a miserable psyche villain after separating from Joker. The clown doc is in

#I actualy had an idea a few years ago for her to try and transform some poor sap into the next Joker—variant SHE can control and humiliate #With a combination of psychological experimentation and trauma inducing incidents. Basically engineering this loser’s One Bad Day #Like Joker tried with Commissioner Gordon #And then once she has her Joker Jr she makes to kill the original while he’s in Arkham #And maybe along the way bothers Ivy because she still seeks the approval of damaged and manipulative assholes
