Something I don't think I've ever seen someone talk about with TF2 (though there probably is someone) is a small detail in the Expiration Date video (which came out in June of 2014, for context that's important later). For context, here's the clip in question:

Did you catch something small? When Scout stands up and says he'll do the date without Spy's help, Spy does something he rarely ever does, something absolutely tiny, but that speaks volumes.

He smiles. A genuine, non-snarky smile.

If you were to watch this when it first came out, and notice this detail, I'd not make any sense, really. Why would he be smiling, when Scout is arguing with him, telling him that he's wrong, basically saying he just wasted his supposed final hours on this world teaching him something he's not going to use?

But then, in January of 2017, nearly 2 and half years later, and (okay spoilers but this has been around for like more than 7, nearly 8 years since posting) it is all but directly shouted from the heavens that Spy is Scout's father. And all of a sudden, this small detail, Spy's smile, takes on a whole new meaning.

As Scout's father, Spy is proud of him.

Even though for what has been presumed to be the finals days of their life, even though Spy has taken ever opportunity to belittle him, to tell him he is a failure and this won't work, that he won't get Pauling (which he probably won't regardless since she is, much like the Spy-Scout relationship, pretty much confirmed to be a lesbian), Scout stands up to him. He stands his ground for something he wants to at least try to do.

And Spy smiles because he is proud of his son for learning one of the best lessons he could ever teach him: stand up for yourself when you believe in something and really want it. He never got to teach him so many things with how he never got to be involved in his raising because of his job, but over the course of 3 days they have, he gets to teach him so much, and leaves him with the most important advice without even saying it.

And it helps to explain a good bit more. It explains why the only reason he interrupts isn't to talk back or put him in his place, but remind him that he's got a date to get to, and his smile only fades when Scout just flat out insults him, like he ruined their father-son bonding moment. It explains why he's so attentive, watching him attempt to start the date, and why when he seems him next, instead of telling him something snarky or rude, or telling him to fight better, he reminds him there is someone he needs to make an apology to, and try to give him the space to take care of that admits the chaos.

Spy can't show it, but he is proud of his son.

Anywho, happy 100th post (took me long enough). Hope to be more active on here, and post more things, and maybe even show off some cool things I make. But to everyone who has been a part of this, from the voice overs on YouTube that first intrigued me to check this place out, to the few but wonderful mutuals I'm so lucky to have, to every weird and amazing person that makes this site somewhere we can call home, I thank you!

okay, bye!

Okay so story time:

It’s late at night , & I was going down to the gas station to get a drink and some snacks, and all the normal spots are filled, so I’m parking on the paved part that’s on a hill. I pull up, and see there’s two people, one in a car, and one outside, talking through the window. I turn my headlights down a little so I don’t blind them, and the guy outside is a police officer. I don’t think much of it and park a little bit up from all this, and head inside.

I walk out, drinks in hand, & 3 POLICE OFFICERS are now around this guys car, flashlights in hand, and they’ve parked their car perpendicular to mine, and I still need to get there.

Safe to say I’m panicking while backing up, hoping I don’t hit them, and worried the whole way home that everything I’m doing is illegal and I’m going to get pulled over any second

So yeah, that was like an hour ago. Wouldn’t be suprised if that guy turned out to be like a murderer or a drug dealer or something and I just casually bumped into the whole thing

I ain’t missing my chance to post this (also I’m almost at a hundred posts, so damn, only took like a year or more)

Currently covered in cobwebs, I’m really in the spooky mood

[spelled-like-pajamas]

got a friend to make battery acid spaghetti (more a soup since we only had sour patch kids and mountain dew) and her reaction went from "huh, actually kind of good" to "regret" in under an hour. I fear what the full power of a battery acid spaghetti can do to a person.

I just need to save this. I’m not a big person on reblogging unless the person says so, but this makes me cry and feel so happy because yeah, sometimes you just need a little squishy cute friend to hug.

sometimes plushies make me cry because it’s like. they’re little guys made to be loved. their only purpose is to be held and hugged and loved. we made them because we love making things and we love loving things. and they’re so cute

So, a fun little, TIL thing, but, today I found out that there’s a whole new religion based not far from where I live all centered around a whale. It’s called “The Church of the Sacred Whale of Ninth & Ninth”, and I think some backstory is in place. So, this is based in Utah (which makes the Mormon feel of their website even better), and we here are famous for our snow. However, in the years of 2021-22, Utah was experiencing its driest years on record, which wasn’t good. However, in April of 2022, this was built:

It’s real name is “Out of the Blue”, and was meant to represent the diverse and wonderful community that had sprung up on 9th and 9th in Salt Lake City. However, people were generally first confused why a whale when we are definitely no where close to an ocean with whales. But, that year, our 2023 winter was one of the wettest in our history, breaking records and making a great winter. And when someone on Reddit (can’t find for the life of me the exact person so if someone can, that’d be nice) ran a couple numbers of rainfall before and after the statue was built, and saw a significant uptake in rainfall. This then lead to the establishment of the Church of the Sacred Whale of Ninth and Ninth, a matriarchal, all inclusive church (it ain’t a cult) that has whole religious books, a good website, and some oddly good merch. Anywho, this was a really long post, but hope you got something from it. And if anyone’s curious, meetings are at 7pm on Tuesdays at the site of the god.

I got this sticker in chemistry today and it just felt like something Carlos would say/Cecil would say to Carlos, so I had to make it a WTNV sticker.
