#Field office toons

[toontown-corporate-confessions]

Sorry for a bit of a long one but I am VERY normal about the Field Office NPCs. Not the ones featured in the taskline for the Field Offices in Rewritten, but like the ones that were introduced when they released back in TTO. The SOS Toons got overhated even if they are admittedly pretty terrible. Phil Bettur's trying his best, Bea Sharpe is sounding her heart out, and Anne Ville couldn't afford any actual anvils, okay? The caged toons that would show up if an office occupied a building with no assigned NPC are great too, and I'm kinda sad that they didn't get brought back in TTR with the SOS toons somehow. At least those guys got to act in new roles for the Field Offices, the caged toons got left behind! Personal favorites include; Dewin Tymme, Ima Cagedtoon, and Lemmy Owte (also fun fact, the TTO wiki lists three toons that are a part of this group; "Prys O. Ner, Capt. Ured, and Anna Cage", but. Those toons don't actually exist in the code last I checked?)

creating a new OC. He's a doctor who treats weird kink furries. his bit is that every patient who comes into his office he has to figure out how to complete the checkup while working around some weird toon-logic contrivance. He's like the doctor house of kink because he's the only one in his field capable of getting results. He's massively overworked and he's been IP banned from the e621 forums.

S

Sweaty prowl??? Musky sweaty stinky Prowl?????? Prowl who comes home sweaty and hot with steam coming off him 😵‍💫

👹👹👹👹BARK BARK ABRK WOOD WOOF WOPFK coppa’s been cooped up in that office for long bro doesn’t know what shower is 😔✊ Rodimus, yeah he stinks, but omg prowl would destroy an entire field of plants if he’s in close proximity. What’s worse is that he’s steaming up like a loony toons character when he barged through your door, obviously in need of something, and that something is human bent over and obedient. Omg he would smell so good like that 😫 just thinking about straddling him as prowl rests his chin on your shoulder and you’re kissing his jaw and neck, the musky scent pervading your nose like cologne. Especially his abdomen, him taking shallow breaths as you’re gliding your lips across the soft protoform, nose following in tandem,,,,mhhhgnnn

SLIMY

*All of the following are not official settings, but my imagination.

He failed the Toon Patrol's hiring test because he sprayed all the members with slime vomit.

However, the slime's versatility, its police baton technique (physical ability) using a billy club, and its body's ability to blend into the darkness caught the boss's attention, and he became an unofficial member of the Toon Patrol.

 His primary job is undercover work and informer.

Occasionally goes out into the field to assist the Toon Patrol.

He does not have a regular job and his address is unknown.

When he runs out of money, he comes to the Toon Patrol office.

Much younger than Smartass, Greasy, and Wheezy.

Around 20 years old or so.

He is a young member, but he is familiar with older members and makes fun of them a bit.

The boss doesn't mind, but Greezy is not happy with his attitude.

-OUR FOUNDER-

⚙ THE CHAIRMAN ⚙ OF COGS INCORPORATED EST. 2003 ---------------------------------

So I've never talked about this on here before, but Toontown was one of my absolute FAVORITE games as a kid (despite never having membership so being locked out of 99% of the actual game jlkjfsakj) Like it was absolutely formative for me, I drew the cogs a bajillion times and they inspired a ton of my own stuff later on (and still absolutely do) Then the game closed and Rewritten came out so I could actually play the whole game for the first time (haven't gotten anywhere close to getting to the end though) To this day I have an on again off again interest where once or twice a year I'll suddenly get absolutely smitten with it again haha

So, if you're also into Toontown, you'll obviously be familiar with the mysterious, unseen overarching villain The Chairman This is my own take on his design that I came up with a few years back ^^

We don't have much to go off of from the original game for what the Chairman might've been like, so I had a couple of different inspirations

Obviously the giant head in the Sellbot Factory, since those old Chairman pics with that head pasted onto a cog body were absolutely what I was most exposed to as a kid, but it's also not a 1:1 lift

In some of my earliest sketches trying to come up with the ideal design I tried making him look like he had the giant robot from the old installer video underneath his suit, so he had like lanky, cartoonish proportions, toonier hands, etc It looked really bad though and I couldn't do what I wanted with the head since it would've had to fit over the shorter, wider robot head, so I just ended up scrapping it (i do take some inspiration from the video for my vision of Toontown's story, but i've just scrapped the robot entirely) Oh I also gave him the eyes from the Field Office since I thought that could be neat, but it looked out of place so I simplified them to what he has now (they're still stylistically similar to the eyes on regular cog buildings, so i don't think i'm really losing any of the meaning behind them at least)

By far the biggest inspiration was when the FY11 plans got released

Holy FUDGE did this blow my mind when I saw it for the first time All those years as a kid of the Chairman not even being ACKNOWLEDGED except by the CEO's final words and a couple odd references in obscure magazines and whatever Desperately speculating and grasping onto all those tiny pieces of some mysterious, horrifically evil entity behind everything And then this??? This awesome, ominous silhouette?? Plans for something huge??? Seeing it is what drove me to go and draw him in the first place, it still gives me chills just looking at it

So yeah, I wanted mine to have that same aura of cold evil, that striking silhouette, while also having a bit more character to him Like most cogs are frozen in the same screwed up scowl, where there's not much room for expression If I could, like, make an actual model for him, I'd want him to have the same sort of capacity for different expressions as the toons have (even some you wouldn't expect from the head of the cogs)

He's ruthless, calculating, doing everything he can to maximize the profits and efficiency of Cogs Inc and expand their operations to the entirety of Toontown, with no regard for ethical business practices or the wishes of the people he plans to subjugate (But does it work? Is he happy?)

I'm absolutely gonna do an analysis of the cogs as a whole at some point (as long as my interest doesn't plummet for a little while longer), there's a ton of stuff I wanna get into about my interpretation of them as villains because oh my god I love them so much

OTHER STUFF - He's not as massive as the other boss cogs, but he's still absolutely huge (iirc the highest level cogs are all canonically like 8ft?? and he's got a LOT of height on them) - He's drinking oil in the pencil drawing - I happened to watch this video where one guy talked about the way the villain in Tarzan held a glass of wine and how it left a huge impression on him, so I just arbitrarily decided to emulate it in my drawing XD - Oh yeah a big reason for the main drawing in the post was that I really felt like I was getting too attached to a single style in my digital stuff (literally just using the same default pen tool for everything, never changing the size), so I wanted to force myself to try something new - I drew the frame myself, just kinda winged it so it's. not as good as it could be but it works fine I think

[lordmartiya]

On Epic: The Musical again, and The Odyssey in general... Have to point out that Odysseus' 600 men are NOT, in fact, the entirety of the force he brought to Troy. They are in fact less than half.

The Catalogue of Ships lists for the Cephallenians (Odysseus' people, named after the largest of the Ionian Islands. Odysseus ruling from Ithaca rather than the main island opens so many questions, but that's for another day) a total of 12 ships, and if we apply the 120 men per ship listed for the Beotians we get in fact 1440 men. I will admit it's exaggerated, as extending it to the entire fleet easily surpasses the 100,000 men that the Achaians are supposed to have mobilized (and feeding such an immense army on the march before the inventions of field kitchen and canned food was a task not even the Romans, with their superior road system, faced lightly, let alone a BIGGER one) and Beotia was a larger and wealthier part of Greece compared to the Ionian Islands even after the War of the Epigoni... But the point is, a Mycenean warship had 40-46 rowers, 3 officers, PLUS WARRIORS, the 600 men figures covers only the crewmen (who, once the ships landed, would have doubled as light infantry, while warriors and heroes like Odysseus served as heavy infantry and chariot troops).

How many men did Odysseus bring to Troy, then? Not sure. Considering he was a skilled general and he had a smaller kingdom and thus army that would have seen him kept on the sidelines, he likely had sixty men per ships, for a total of 720 men between crews and proper warriors (with Odysseus himself being the only one The Iliad bothered to name, though The Odyssey informs us Eurylochus was his brother in law and thus another noble and proper warrior - the Cephalleans just weren't that important aside for Odysseus himself). 120 of them fell during the attacks on Troy's allies and the Trojan War, leaving 600 men... Of which most died against angry Sardinians (the Laestrygonians), many other died to monsters or gods (most notably when Zeus JUMPED ON THE LAST SHIP to catapult Odysseus to Calypso's island Looney Toon style and drown everyone else), Elpenor became a warning on the dangers of alcohol (I think Odysseus thought he was just sleeping off his latest hangover at Circe's until he found him in the Underworld berating him for not burying him after he fell off Circe's house), Polites got himself lynched for raping a local girl in Italy (right after the stop at Circe, also in Italy) and then his ghost got exorcised by the fists of a passing pugilist, and Achememeis got left for dead at Polyphemus' until he was picked up by a fleet of refugees, survived the heart attack when he discovered the refugees were from Troy, and joined them in their voyage to Italy and became an ancestor to the Romans.

POV you are a toon and you found your way into Charlotte's field office

[bbhq]

i’d love to see someone make a comic (when he’s revealed) of the new foreman’s first interaction with the/a boiler

this dude’s all about success no matter what, and the cogs’ most recent failure comes crashing in and OBLITERATES the left silo or something while he’s getting his little office set up in the center silo

the whole reason he’s even been instated as foreman is because field offices clearly didn’t work, and the toons have been thriving in their facilities.

combined with the boiler’s temper (probably even worse after just getting caked in the face about a thousand times), i do not think They Would Get Along

[ehhgg-art]

Not to come out of literally nowhere but your Ender's Game mafia au is super cool and intriguing 👀 would you mind sharing some plot bunnies?

HELLO I’D LOVE TO SHARE !!!!! it’s a bit long though so strap in

its basically a divergent universe from about halfway through shadow puppets where instead of taking over the compound achilles just runs. in this story i’ve characterized achilles a lot differently where he’s less of an R-rated looney toons villain and more of like. a Guy. he just wants to survive and believes that world governments are obsolete and weak and his real chances of survival are back in his element: the streets.

but before he leaves, he makes sure to leave his mark on peter. they have a one night stand after tensions between them inevitably rise, which they both craved and regretted. it was the most loved achilles ever felt, the most love that peter had ever shown. but it also cemented achilles’ decision to leave.

achilles leaves, and peter lets him.

it changes peter. he gets his shit together and decides to actually do his job. he ends up going into the field as much as his office. takes it upon himself to learn self defense and distance himself as far as possible from being achilles’ parallel. he doesn’t want to be associated with him, doesn’t want to remember him. he’s a lot more jaded, gives up the hegemon position at a relatively young age and decides to spend the rest of his years as an underground journalist and informant. there’s probably a bounty on his head in a few countries. he has managed to piss many, many people off (as per usual).

as for achilles, he goes back to rotterdam to reclaim his crown. he’s something like a boogeyman there. he controls most of the waterways and their “cargo”, which can vary from drugs to weapons to refugees escaping the war waged in the east. he’s a benevolent leader but a foreboding foe. yeah, he’ll take you in whenever you’d like, but if you wrong him he’ll have your head. he’s both a businessman and family man, being savvy while keeping those around him afloat. if the leaders he served under didn’t do it right, then he sure as hell will.

as for the rest of the cast, i think most of them have moved on. it’s about a decade or two after the events of the shadow saga, bean is in space, petra making a life for herself without him, virlomi and suriawong following their own endeavors trying to repair their countries after the events of shadow of the hegemon. it’s a more peter / achilles centric story in that sense.

now i don’t really know Why peter has to work with achilles, but he does at some point. it’s going to have to do with some international scandal and achilles’ connections. it’s a partners in crime type of thing, while also trying to navigate their past fling.

there’s a lot of bad blood between them, but they make up (and make out).

Tiny Toons University (Better Up has applied to have a university) by u/Human-Economics6894

Tiny Toons University (Better Up has applied to have a university) https://ift.tt/H93SAWe been busy so I doesnt't have been keeping an eye on the Harkles thing.And today, looking at the Daily Mail I found this newsPrince Harry set to back online degrees in life coaching despite his own scholastic shortcomings... after he was made platform's 'chief impact officer', writes RICHARD EDENhttps://https://ift.tt/ERqfXsG now I hear the company has plans to launch an academic institution called the BetterUp University which will offer degrees in life coaching online.In newly filed papers, the San Francisco-based outfit has applied to the US Patent and Trademark Office to register its BetterUp University idea.The application states the university will be ‘providing online educational forums in the field of life coaching, professional coaching, personal development coaching, and career development coaching.’I remembered that when I read that the Harkles were going to Columbia I thought they were going to give them an honorary degree and I made a face like wtf??Now, it turns out that Hank is involved in a company that wants to be a university, a life coach university. Seriously, seriously, seriously, incredible. Mommy, I want to study at Better Up University!! If a daughter or son says that to me, I will never speak to them again in my life!!! post link: https://ift.tt/wAFPjXm author: Human-Economics6894 submitted: August 27, 2024 at 01:47AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Cogs Inc.'s very own departmental SSIA team! Because if your staff routinely gets obliterated by toons you might need some doctors on hand! Who gave these fuckers a medical license? Who knows!

(Golden Hello is from @xxnu11-sku11xx )

Sometimes morale in the sellbot department can get pretty low. The stress of sales and potentially having toons smash your face in does not make a good work environment.That's where Golden Hello the therapist comes in! This mellow fellow is an easy cog to talk to and get along with! In fact, he's never met someone he doesn't fully get along with(save for one, but let's not talk about him). He's had a few questions about his last name, to which he always replies "I'm not here to talk about me or my life, I'm here to listen to yours. Is there anything about yours you'd like me to know about?"

Ms. Peri Low, also known as the Operator, has been there, seen that, and is all around a jaded sort. She seems... content with her current position but will begin bitching the second she gets a smoke break. At least she gets to work on trains as well as her coworkers, she fucking LOVES trains. She doesn't like working on cogs who've been hit by trains though, especially if its her boss.

Mr Parris Hale, or the Office Peacock, is equal parts show off and gentleman. They're the nicest of the doctors and pride themself on it. He makes sure all his patientsare comfortablein his presence while working on them, but his toon policy is confusing. While he will deal with any toon who enters his office, he'll also turn a blind eye and play along with their little game while they run errands for him for some reason.

Mx Hex Karousell, or the Manufactory, is the maddest of all the doctors there. They find sameness boring and want to spice things up a little! Why must a micromanager be so small, what if a big cheese was any other food, could a cog still function with removable skin? The CEO has them constantly busy with modification requests for underperforming employees, so there's never a dull moment for them!

Mr Sydney Low, known as the Administrator, is rather anxious for her position, and isn't even located at her department's HQ - she's got her office in the surveillance tower... at least on the surface. He's seems terrified of letting others see that special personal project he's working on at Boardbot HQ. Some believe it's more jacked up than Hex's experiments, others think it's a way to level the playing field between toon's invincibility and cog's easily destroyed nature. Given who Sydney is, it's probably both.

i will never stop caring about the Field Office SOS Toons, or the Restock SOS Toons--

[a-song-of-flowers]

So long, and thanks for all the fish

...and gags. And laff points. And cogs I sent into the shadow realm with my wedding cakes.

So I haven't posted on this blog since 2022. Honestly, I almost forgot this blog existed! But I figured it's about time I posted something 'official' in case any of you have wondered where I've been.

I've quit Toontown Rewritten, to the point of uninstalling the game from my computer. I've honestly just grown bored with the game, as I've finished the main bulk of it and have been stagnant in the whole Field Office endgame of it all. We're all familiar with the whole grinding for gags, stuff for cog suits and promotions, and all the little side activities just to get laff point boosts (I've actually fully completed gardening and golf), and on top of devoting tons of time into fighting the cog bosses (FOs included), I've felt that was all just too much for me.

You probably have noticed all the little rants about other toons on this blog and how their bad play made me tired and frustrated, and honestly, just stepping away from the game altogether and avoiding all that trouble was better for my mental health. I've since graduated from university and started a full-time job, and that alone takes a lot of time from my day. I simply don't have the energy anymore to devote an hour or so into FOs and grinding and all that. I don't hate the game by any means, it still has a nostalgic place in my heart. I just don't want it to end up being the only thing I absolutely have to play every day like another full-time job, lol. I think I'm a little past the target demographic now, anyway.

This is just a fun, silly little game I enjoyed playing back when it was owned by Disney and I definitely don't need to devote so much energy into thinking about gag strategies and having to either deal with other toons who don't know better or being yelled at myself for not knowing gag combos and whatnot. I will still keep this blog up with all the memories and funny moments I've experienced on this game archived, but I will not be posting anything new.

My friend @thunder-and-lighting, who I've played TTR with and shouted out here many times, still continues to play this game and updates me in our little shared Discord server with things they accomplish. I'm not sure if they will continue the legacy we've started and will post their own funny moments in-game, but you're welcome to head over to their blog and give them a follow. Feel free to let them know I sent ya.

I have a sideblog dedicated to the Sims 4, my new big game I've been putting a bit of time into. You're welcome to follow that blog if you want to keep up with my other gaming ventures, or maybe you'd like my nostalgic media sideblog if you're interested in stuff like the original Toontown that was entertainment from back in the day. Or just come chill at my main blog, where I share anything I find cool. Sometimes, I talk about my own original characters and even share artwork. Feel free to drop me a line if you want to chat, too! Totally no pressure or anything.

Could you elaborate on how you think cogs are less appreciated? (in reference your comment on that poll)

Cogs are taken advantage of at their job-- even for robots! They're always walking around the streets on business (guarding the streets or entering cog buildings or spawning them, etc.) They never have a moment off, and presumably when they fly away from a street they go back to work or MAYBE if the cogs have to charge themselves at the end of the day, even then it's not much rest.

Then Toons insult them for doing their jobs (granted I wouldn't stop doing so either, guess that makes me evil?) like they're basically just getting paid minimum wage for this harassment, and the cogs are also not allowed to be unique either, there's other cogs just like them everywhere, exact carbon copies of them, and they're forced to only say certain phrases in public for good company appearances. The Minglers are also in an MLM scheme, and presumably at least some other sellbots might be as well, don't get me started on the boiler and field offices/buildings unless you're willing to hear even longer explanations.

[paceplace]

Given how barren the Corporate Clash section of Toon HQ has been since the in-game Group Finder was added, maybe they could benefit from adding a Kudos Task tracker?

Y'know, showing what Kudos Tasks are available on each Playgrounds' Kudos Board?

Kinda like TTR's Field Office Tracker?

seems they're looking to implement that based on their hammerspace blogpost

which, thank god, bc playground hopping for a kudos task is kinda annoying
