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!

I wrote a little thing for @sorenphelps because their bodyguard AU is so good and I love the cheeky disaster flirt vibe James gives me in this and this (and if there is disaster James I'm always like 👀) and this just spilled out of me. I hope you like it!

The door opens and -

It's a shooting range. A small, private shooting range. James was hoping for something a little more romantic when Sirius was asking if he 'could take him somewhere' but actually, now that James really thinks about it, it makes a lot of sense. He should have expected something like this.

“Do you know how to handle a gun?” Sirius asks as he steps into the room after James, closing and locking the door behind them. The click of the lock shouldn't send a shiver down James' spine but it totally does.

With a confident grin James turns to Sirius, one hand going up to mess up his already messy mop of hair. “Well, no one has complained about it yet,” he says with a cheeky wink.

Sirius just looks at him completely unimpressed until the grin slowly slides off James' face and he drops his hand in defeat. “Fine, no I don't.”

Sirius nods and walks over to the table that has two guns ready and waiting for them to use. “I think you would benefit from learning.”

“Why?” James asks, following Sirius and watching as he picks up one of the guns. “I thought I have a top of the line bodyguard.”

“You do but I've never claimed to be immortal. If push comes to shove I want you to be ready to shoot and run. There is hope you'll never have to put that knowledge to use but I'd rather have you prepared.” Sirius looks at James and releases the safety of the gun. “You are my top priority.”

And yes, okay, that probably shouldn't be so hot.

Turning towards the target, Sirius lifts the gun and takes aim. “Watch and learn,” he says and then he shoots -

One right between the none existing eyes of the cardboard man.

One each where the left and right eye would be.

Another shoot right where the heart sits in a living person.

Sirius lowers the gun and James whistles through his teeth. “Impressive, Soldier Boy. Can you do his dick too?”

“I could do his left testicle if I'd want to. But this is not about me.” Sirius klicks the safety of the gun back on and sets it down. He nods to the other gun on the table in front of James. “Your turn.”

James takes a deep breath and picks up the gun. It's a little heavier in his hand than he had expected but he's not going to show it. It's probably a little stupid to want to impress a military man but James is committed to being stupid when it comes to Sirius Black.

Clicking off the safety like he has seen Sirius do, James raises the gun and takes aim. It's not as easy and effortless as it looked when Sirius did it but James is still trying his best to keep his hand steady, takes another deep breath, and shoots.

He was aiming for the shoulder of the cardboard man. His shot hits more the lower centre of the chest.

“Not too bad for a first try,” Sirius says and steps up close behind James. He reaches around James and adjusts his wrist a little along with the bend of his arm. Having him so close that he can feel his body heat right at his back does things to James that he tries to cover up by chuckling and leaning back into the other man.

“What are you gonna teach me next? Billiard?” James grin, because a stupid joke is all that can safe him now.

“If I'd want to bend you over a table I'd pick one a lot easier to clean up,” Sirius says and having his voice so close to James's ear is even worse. “Cum is a bitch to clean out of the felt on a billiard table.”

And how does he know that???

Strong fingers tap against James' hipbone, bringing him back to the here and now. “Be a good boy and focus, would you?” Sirius says in a low rumble.

James swallows thickly. “Yes, Sir,” spills out of his mouth before he can stop it.

Sirius laughs and steps away. “Try again.”

James takes a deep breath to steady himself and pulls the trigger a second time. The bullet connects around the area of the collar bone, not perfect but closer.

“Good,” Sirius says and the satisfaction in his voice sends a shiver down James' spine.

“Yeah?” James asks and lowers the gun, hungry for the praise.

“A promising start.” Sirius steps closer again and takes the gun back out of James' hand, their fingers brushing. “But I have to warn you,” he says, holding James' gaze as he snaps the safety back into place. “I'm going to work you hard until you can do it perfectly in your sleep.”

James swallows the whine that threatens to crawl up his throat. He has no complains about being worked by this man, hard or in any other way. None at all.

It had been nine years, all of the blood tests, all of the wait and seeing, all the hormone shots had yielded the same results. He didn’t have a heat cycle anymore, and he would never have one again. He had damaged his body beyond repair.

been around a time or two

The thought of Maverick had her opening up their text thread. It was painfully short; he wasn’t a fan of texting. Too slow, he said. Still, she could use someone to talk to right now. She wasn’t even sure how it fit into whatever it was that they were doing, but he always answered her if he wasn’t busy. Phoenix: i just had the longest goddamn day Phoenix: i never want to hear the words heavy metal ever again She set her phone down and went back to contemplating the contents of her refrigerator. She really wanted to avoid spending money on take out. Maybe she had something in her freezer she could throw in the microwave.  Phoenix’s phone buzzed and a text notification from Maverick lit up her screen. A wave of delight beat back at the crush of exhaustion that had been weighing her down ever since she let herself into her apartment.  Mav ✈️: Everything okay?

Sometimes, after a long day, the only person Phoenix wants to talk to is Maverick.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

I am not the divine masculine or the divine feminine I am the divine comedy and you will address me as such

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.
