Happy Hobbit Day! (I almost forgot and it's technically well into the 23rd where I am right now, but I haven't gone to bed yet since waking up on the 22nd, so we'll say it counts.)
I think if Boromir had survived he should be allowed special permissions to go into the Shire to see his friends in their native habitat after everything is over.
Transcription:
Shire border security guard: "Sir I don't think you can bring those out with you..."

hi this is the at some random time check to see if you are alive and doing okay :]
are you alive? ☐
are you doing okay? ☐
please check each box that applies to you
*end of message beep*
I'll check that first box, but not the second, because oops, here come the scales of consequence. Or rather -
Hangin’ in there, but only barely!
Enter, stage left: My horrible habit of disappearing off the face of the planet when things are too much. Everyone has been so kind, and so patient, and as it turns out, I didn’t plan this surprise break, either. The personal details don’t belong on this page, given that I’m trying to keep non-comic posts to a minimum, but the TLDR is effectively ‘I am currently in a rather dire financial situation, and have no energy to spare on this side hobby’.
It’s irresponsible of me to let things go so long without updates, but at the same time, I am overbooked and Big Stressy, and I have to prioritize my current IRL situation if I want to be able to eat. Thank you, as always, and this check-in was definitely appreciated.
I will continue to do my best to stay afloat, and believe me, I’m just as frustrated as a lot of readers are! Bear with me as I fumble with that mythical thing called ‘being a responsible adult’.

Whats some of the crazier stuff you think engie does? Cause, like, all of the mercs look like they're unhinged except him
Oh anon, let me tell you, Engie is definitely just as unhinged as the others. He just knows how to hide it better and when it's appropriate to show it lol
One thing he made was a robot dog
He just kinda made it at like 3 in the morning because he was stumped with his other projects
And so he made a dog. yeah
Scout loved it. although it did not love Scout
It became scrap metal by the afternoon; mainly because long story short it attacked one of Soldier's raccoons (you know. as any robot programmed to be a dog will do) and ate Scout's snacks that he left in his room and terrorize Archimedes and so it was used as target practice by a few of them
Engie kinda forgot he made it tbh
But the dog is not the point; the point is is that Engineer makes a lotta batshit crazy things--or, at least, has the ideas for them, but pursues better ideas
He just only makes these Insane Ideas if they somehow provide use to him (Exhibit A: Gunslinger)
It also tends to be done when he is low on sleep and therefore cannot think things over--better times to do it, since his Smart part of his brain (not the engineer part, but the Hey Maybe We Shouldn't part of it) tends to be quieter and easier to ignore
Like if one of his coworkers needed something? And it sounded just like a horrible idea? As long as they make a good case on how it would be useful and not backfire horribly, then yeah he doesnt see why not
And if it does go horribly wrong? like when Scout asked him to make a never ending can of Bonk! Atomic Punch?
(Which could be done, mind you, with a large reservoir of Bonk, along with a portal there and then one into the can, as well as some sort of mechanism to turn it on and off)
Well then Scout will learn to think through his thoughts and listen to Engie's works (he does not learn this, but i am sure we all are aware of this)
I think he would tend to make a lot of crazy gun shit. gun that shoots knives. gun that shoots bombs (which yes may just be a grenade launcher but his is Much Better and Cooler)
Engie would also just make things for everyday use. he modified is truck so it can go over 200mph in like 5 seconds. probably made a multi tool but like for cooking utensils
(I would list more crazy things since that's what you asked but uh. im not exactly the creative type over here)
All in all he's still as crazy as the others, but he is able to hide it better. also he knows how to put that crazy brain to work and make something cool and/or useful

Hello y'all I know that I've been gone for a hot minute but for the past few days I've been dealing with constant pain ranging from my legs to my back and shoulders. So I haven't been feeling quite up to snuff to actually chat with everyone. But I am alive and breathing and I hope that I'll be able to talk to y'all sometime soon. Love y'all lots. 💖
