#Canny Tim

"Heroes don't die in their first battle, Tilly."

I was watching Disney's Sleeping Beauty and got inspired to finish this drawing of Gallowmere's most doomed-by-the-narrative friend group/polycule. From left to right is Wartilda/The Pumpkin Witch, Sir Daniel Fortesque, and Canny Tim, and no one is escaping that Battle of Gallowmere unscathed, especially not the poor woman who has to bury both her fiance and her best friend.

Just in time for Halloween, Canny Tim and Sir Daniel are done!

I’ll admit, I didn’t change much with Dan’s design; I prefer his Resurrection armor and all it’s soda can sound effect glory. However, I wanted him to be slightly more distinct, so I added in his PS1 color scheme. And I thought I’d sneak in my take on living Dan. Kind of amusing how no one thinks this guy was the least bit conventionally attractive but with teeth like that, it was only necessary.

For Canny Tim, I don’t really like his Resurrection outfit, and while it’d be easier to shove him into some armor and call it a day, @pumpkingeorge made a really good point about wanting to be in your favorite outfit in the afterlife. So while sticking to the signature green, I changed up the whole outfit, adding a few small references to his comic book look too.

With the last two heroes finished, I can say that my Hall of Heroes redesign series has reached its conclusion!

Other Hero Designs

Prince Ravenhooves and Imanzi Shongama

Stanyer Iron Hewer and Megwynne Stormbinder

Dirk Steadfast and Karl Sturnguard

Bloodmonath Skull Cleaver and Woden the Mighty

One of my favorite things about MediEvil: Resurrection is how Canny Tim in the Hall of Heroes will enthusiastically ask Sir Daniel how things are going and Sir Daniel's response will be like "I'm a reanimated corpse so not very well! 8("

Dan missed Halloween

When I first played the games this year, I knew about trans Canny Tim but not where it came from.

The second MediEvil game I played after MediEvil 2019 was Resurrection. I see Canny Tim in the Hall of Heroes. I immediately went "oh, this is a whole trans man right here, I wonder if they said anything in the manual that I do not have".

Turns out that no, it came from the comic that I impulse bought a week later. Sorry for accidentally clocking you, Tim.

Tim being shown as a girl in the comic

Pros: Tim is a canon trans man

Cons: People think Tim is a girl and suddenly start shipping Dan and Tim

Many of Harris’s mistakes were similar to those Hillary Clinton made in 2016. Like Clinton, Harris cozied up to billionaire donors. Mark Cuban, for instance, said he was delighted that Harris was abandoning Democrats’ commitments to progressive principles and letting the business community propose the policies it wanted. Like Clinton, Harris and Tim Walz made hubristic campaign stops in solidly red states like Texas and Kentucky rather than spending the final days laser-focused on crucial battlegrounds. Like Clinton, Harris emphasized celebrity endorsements while failing to successfully court unions. (Most notably, the Teamsters declined to endorse her after she refused to pledge that she wouldn’t break a national railway strike.) Like Clinton, Harris focused too much on the danger of Donald Trump (which is very real) and not enough on the reasons why she would be good at being president herself. Most importantly, like Clinton, Harris ultimately decided upon a strategy of trying to woo moderate Republican voters away from Trump, reasoning that it didn’t matter if doing so alienated progressive voters and the Democratic base. Chuck Schumer, speaking of Hillary’s 2016 strategy, infamously promised: "For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia. And you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin." In fact, they just lost the blue-collar Democrats and didn’t pick up the Republicans! In 2024, Harris, too, aggressively touted endorsements from Republicans, promised to put a Republican in her cabinet (she even cited that as the answer to what she would have done differently from Biden!), and went so far as to praise and embrace Dick and Liz Cheney! The strategy was an abject failure. Because she wanted to appease both Republicans and progressive voters, Harris had to further indulge her weakness for speaking in meaningless word salads, since taking stances that were meaningful could have alienated one of these constituencies. Trump, who is canny about portraying himself as more anti-war than Democrats, correctly pointed out that an endorsement from the hawkish Cheneys should be a badge of shame, not honor. (Specifically he said Cheney is “"the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris. I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III!")

[...]

The lesson to Democratic leaders in 2016 should have been that Bernie Sanders had been right, that the party had betrayed working-class voters and would be doomed if it could not effectively counter Trump’s pseudo-populist appeal with a visionary alternative. (See the excellent analysis in Thomas Frank’s Listen, Liberal.) Unfortunately, the lessons weren’t learned then, and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to be learned now, either! MSNBC anchor Joy Reid is already insisting that Kamala Harris’s campaign was “flawless” (because she got “every prominent celebrity voice”), and pundits like Jill Filipovic are saying things like, “this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.” (Good luck ever winning with the slogan “You’re the problem, America!”) USAToday’s Michael Stern says that instead of talking about “where the Harris campaign went wrong” we should talk about “where the American people went wrong.” The Harris campaign itself is blaming unspecified “obstacles that were largely out of our control.”

Wh. Everything I've seen about Walz says he's saying that the shit happening rn is awful and they should call for a ceasefire??? Am I missing something?

he mostly does not say much, but has a history of hyping up Israel as the US's #1 bff in the region. currently he seems to be a two state solution guy, which again is like bog standard for American Dems, but he's canny enough to note that the genocide is a huge voter issue that's not going away rather than try to dismiss it entirely.

realistically there's no world where Harris' running mate was going to be someone actively calling for an end to Israel's genocidal settler colony, especially not with three months to the election, and while I'll admit that I'm extremely impressed by Walz's track record in other areas of his career it's hard not to be frustrated by such a pussy ass "best option" in the face of such urgent suffering.

Medievil: Kingdom Of Lies Chapter Eight

The Stained Glass Demon Brawl,

The stained glass demon let out a loud roar of a shriek and lunged Dan, attacking him.

"DAN! WATCH OUT!" Lynne cried out. Dan screamed as the stained glass demon lunged at him. Quickly, he dodged it and tried to run towards the door on the left side of the room. Stained glass rose from out of the floor, blocking his escape. Dan turned around about to use the window, but saw that it was blocked off as well. There was no where for him to go. The creature slowly began to advance towards him, inching closer and closer.

"Sir, you have to fight!" Canny Tim shouted. Dan pulled out his sword and charged towards the demon, swinging it down. His sword did no damage, in fact there wasn't even a scratch.

"Bugger!" Dan cursed, the demon lunged at him again, it's claws raised in the air to strike. Dan rolled out of the way, only for the creature to smack Daniel with it's hand. Dan was knocked back as he was sent flying and crashed into the wall, falling onto the floor. Dan groaned as he held his head, looking up at the demon as it raised it's claw, getting ready to strike him down. Then Dan noticed something strange. There was a small gap exposed inside of the creature's chest. There was something moving inside of it, beating rhythmically. Dan's eye widen in realization. It was the stained glass heart!

"Captain Fortesque!" Canny Tim called out, gripping the bars of the gate, worried. The glass demon brought it's claw down on Dan to finish him off. Dan quickly rolled out of the way and the creature struck the wall, getting it's claw stuck into it. Dan ran over to the gate to Canny Tim and Lynne.

"I need your cross bow for a minute!" Dan said urgently. The creature had managed to pull it's claw free from the wall and turned around, facing towards Dan and the others.

"Here!" Canny Tim shouted, handing Dan his crossbow to him. Dan quickly took it from the crossbowman, just as the demon lunged at him again. Dan dodged out of the way and it landed on the gate, startling Tim and Lynne as it did. The stained glass demon jumped down and tossed multiple projectiles of shards of glass at the skeleton knight. Dan jumped out of the way, but several shards nicked him as he did, and landed on his feet, facing the demon. The demon jumped high into the air landing in the center of the room then levitated from off of the floor, charging up for another attack.

Dan quickly raised the crossbow and fired several rounds of arrows at the creature's exposed chest, hitting it's heart. The demon let out a painful shriek as it collapsed onto the ground.

"Great work, sir!" Canny Tim cheered.

"It's not over yet!" Lynne shouted, seeing the creature starting to get back up again. It raised it's hand, aiming at Dan. Dan tried to move out of the way, but he found out that he couldn't move his feet. Dan looked down and saw that his feet were encased in glass until it suddenly began to grow, starting to encase his entire body, trapping him of it.

"Dan!" Lynne shouted. Dan pounded away at the glass, trying to break it. The creature swung it's claw again, smashing to the glass, hitting Dan on his side, batting him away. Canny Tim's weapon was knocked from his hand. Dan landed hard on the floor with a thud and the creature let out a horrifying loud screech as it towered down on the skeleton knight.

"Sir, don't give up! I know that you can do it!" Canny Tim shouted. Dan tried to get up, but he was getting, tired, exhausted. The demon swung it's claws at Dan knocking him down onto his back as he landed of the gate in front of Canny Tim and Lynne. Lynne looked over at the crossbow that was on the other side of the room then back towards the demon that was coming towards Dan, who was struggling to get up.

With no hesitation, Lynne started to climb onto the gate. Canny Tim's eyes widen in alarm as he saw Lynne climbing the gate and tried to grab her, to stop her. But, she had already reach the top of it and jumped over to the other side. Lynne quickly dashed over to the crossbow, while the crossbowman tried to call her back. The creature turned it's attention away from Dan as it saw Lynne heading towards the crossbow. Dan's eye widen as well and grabbed onto the creature's leg just as it was about to lunged at the woman. It snarled and snapped it's head back towards the skeleton knight, trying to shake him off. Dan lost his grip and landed near Lynne.

She bent down, helping sit Dan up when the two saw the creature lifting off from the floor, starting to unleash another attack. Dan took the crossbow from Lynne's hand and aimed it at the demon's exposed heart. He fired and hit it just as the stained glass demon unleashed an attack, seeing a blast towards Dan and Lynne. Dan rolled on his side, shielding Lynne with his body, taking the full front of the blast as it knocked them back. The creature let out a shriek as it's body began to crack until it fell onto it's knees and completely shattered, scattering shards everywhere, defeated.

The gate opened and Canny Tim immediately rushed over to Dan and Lynne who were lying on the floor.

"Captain, you did it! I knew that you could!" he cheered, happily. Lynne moved underneath Dan's arms as she sat up, gently, pushing him off from her body. To not hurt him anymore than he already was, considering he had taken a beaten from the fight. She frowned when she saw that something was not right. Canny Tim frowned as well, as he received no response from Dan.

"Sir?" he asked again, starting to grow concerned. Lynne turned Dan over to see the damaged that was dealt to him by the stained glass demon. There were scratch marks on his bones from the shards of glass, a few cracks on his arms and head. His injuries was not healing, fast as they normally did. He looked like he was growing weaker and weaker with every minute.

"He's going to die if we don't do something," Lynne explained. Canny Tim's eyes widen.

"He can't die! What can we do?!" he exclaimed. Then Lynne remembered that she was carrying some zombie juice in a flask, that she retrieved from several zombies that she defeated, in a small bag that she was carrying. For some experimental purposes, of course. Guess, now's the right time as any. She quickly digged into her bag and fished the flask out, which contained a light green glowing liquid, swirling around inside of it.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Canny Tim gagged at the sight of it. "You're going to make him drink that? How is he going to, if he doesn't have a jaw?"

Lynne popped open the cork of the flask and dumped the contents all over the skeleton knight. "I guess that's one way to do it." The liquid began to absorb into Dan's bones, settling in. Then to Canny Tim's and Lynne's relief, they saw Dan's cuts and injuries starting to disappear as if he was never injured to begin with. Dan began to stir as he opened his eye, waking up. He saw Tim and Lynne looking at him, smiling in relief, to see him still "alive."

"What happened?" Dan asked.

"We almost lost you, sir," the crossbowman told him. "Luckily, Lynne, here had some of that zombie juice in her back. Who knew that it would come in handy!?" Tim crushed Dan as he pulled him closer, hugging him. Dan groaned in pain, still feeling some of the bruises from the fight.

"That's great. Can you get off of me, now?"

Tim quickly pulled back, grinning sheepishly. "Sorry, sir!" Dan turned towards Lynne.

"That was a very reckless think to do," he mumbled. Lynne blushed.

"I couldn't stand to see you get beaten up," she replied, softly. "It was the only thing that I could think of at the time. We have to get more of this stuff, should this ever happens again. However, I only have one flask at the moment. But, if we stop at my shop at the village, nearby, we can get some more."

"That's a good idea," Canny Tim agreed.

Canny Tim and Lynne helped Dan back on his feet. As they did, Dan noticed something shining in the glass shard remains of the stained glass demon. He walked over to it and picked it up, while avoiding getting cut by the glass. Dan looked looked at it closer as Canny Tim and Lynne walked over to him to see what he had found. It was a key that was shaped into a skeleton.

"There was a locked gate back at the cemetery that we passed. It had the same design, just like this," Lynne pointed out. "Maybe, the key goes to it?"

"After you were slain, I shot Zarok's Champion, Lord Kardok. A clean kill, Sir! Right through the eye at some 300 yards! Err...not that there's anything clever about shooting someone in the eye, Sir!"

Canny Tim and a somewhat pessimistic Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil: Resurrection.

Canny Tim: People are shipping us (I learnt that from the internet)

Sir Daniel: To WHERE

[iwanthermidnightz]

“Last night, left-leaning Swifties everywhere breathed a sigh of relief: Taylor Swift finally endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris for president.

The Harris campaign seemed relieved too, if not ecstatic. Two officials told NBC News they had no idea Swift's endorsement was coming — her running mate, Tim Walz, even found out on live TV — but they were definitely ready for it. Just one hour after the debate had wrapped, friendship bracelets were being sold on the campaign website. Harris polished off her post-debate party by blasting Swift's anti-misogyny anthem "The Man."

The campaign's preparation makes sense. Swift's eventual endorsement of Harris had been likely all along. After all, she voted for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden; she publicly celebrated when Biden picked Harris as his running mate four years ago; she has repeatedly condemned homophobic and racist policies from the Republican Party. Swift has made her allegiance clear.

What wasn't clear was just how long she expected us to wait without making a fuss.

It's quite possible that Swift had always planned to share her endorsement last night, syncing it with the debate for maximum attention and impact. This would align with Swift's reputation as a canny strategist.”

[nebbychan]

Omg yessss can we please have some Modern!Canny Tim?

Forgive me, I did not include an image this time around but this entry will be text heavy, so here we go!

Canny Tim

(31 years old)

Tim is Dan’s childhood best friend, plus his second-in-command during their time in the military. Growing up, he lived in the same neighborhood as Dan — their houses were right next to each other and was one of the few friends Dan had that would beat up any bullies he encountered. He’s earned many nicknames throughout the years; “Olive” from his mother due to his favorite afternoon snack being olives, “Little Sparrow” from a mutual friend (who only goes by his band moniker, “Bloodmonath Skull Cleaver”, no one quite knows his real name), but the one that stuck was, “Canny Tim”, primarily due to his pleasant personality and peppy attitude. Tim does not live with Dan, as he actually has his own place just out into the countryside.

After leaving the military, Tim became a beekeeper and archery instructor, and it’s not uncommon to see him outdoors either tending to the massive garden he has for the bees, or out at the range shooting at targets — visitors are often advised that severe caution be taken when approaching him, as he tends to disassociate with the world around him and it’s difficult to break his concentration. And while he’s quite proud of his work, he’s also not one to boast about it either.

Tim may appear to be the smarter one compared to Dan, but make no mistake, he can be just as reckless and stupid as he is. And he’s not exactly docile either, he has some unchecked rage too, and Dan has to hold him back every time. The one time Dan actually let Tim go, it nearly got both of them arrested.

Tim has a great love of the outdoors, but has struggled trying to convince Dan that camping is a lot of fun. Though to be fair, Dan is more of a “glamper” anyway.

With the bee farm and an archery range, this meant doubling the income and allotting several luxuries which include a custom made crossbow, which he will NOT shut up about

Absolutely LOVES D&D, it’s one of the few things that will keep him indoors for a long period of time, second to bar hopping with friends, plus watching Dan’s livestreams as it reminds him of a childhood pastime they shared, which was playing video games on the PlayStation

Has tried (and failed) to grow a mustache

While in the military, Tim studied and got a master’s degree in Horticulture, he has also worked to get a hunting license after leaving the military, plus a vendor’s license for the bee farm, as he sells the honey the bees produce.

(TW: Transphobia) Tim absolutely does not talk to his father, as far as he’s concerned, his father is dead to him. Reason why stems from when a teenage Tim came out as trans to his parents, and while his mother happily accepted him and supported him in his transition, his father had the opposite reaction, constantly misgendering and deadnaming him which then broke into screaming matches between them. This resulted in his parents getting a divorce and his mother obtaining sole custody, he’d even changed his last name to his mother’s maiden name as a way to cut all ties. Tim heard through the grapevine that his father remarried and that he and his new wife (equally as conservative as he is), have been trying for a baby, which honestly scares him a little

Tim is very close to his mother, even when she was active duty military. As a kid, he didn’t care that she was far away, so long as he got to hear her voice during weekly phone calls, and saw her whenever she had time off. The day she announced she was retiring, Tim was over the moon and had arranged a special Welcome Home dinner for the occasion, all the dishes served consisting of his mother’s absolute favorite foods

Tim knows how to cook, his father taught him how, and Dan had pestered him a bunch of times to prepare his lunches for him when they were teens. He didn’t mind it so long as Dan footed the bill for the ingredients

When it comes to Dan’s love life, Tim has always been Dan’s biggest supporter through every relationship he’s ever been in (Tim bakes honey cakes and serves it with ice cream whenever Dan goes through a breakup), the two even agreed to be each other’s best man for the other’s wedding

His favorite genre of music is Electric Swing, though if you ask him which music artist is his favorite, he will say Lady Gaga without hesitation

Has a severe allergy to celery, which will cause him to break out in hives if he touches it, or if accidentally consumed, will require medical intervention

Can’t stand horror films or games, even as young kids, Tim had to beg Dan not to tell scary stories during sleepovers or else he had to sleep with the lights on all night, nightlights wouldn’t cut it for him
