Thinking more abt Z Broly and Paragus and. Their movie is so frustrating and tragic and heart-wrenching AS WELL AS BEING GENERALLY COOL AND FLASHY

As @/RedDogJustice on Twitter pointed out:

Trying to fight Broly head on = respectable

Trying to flee/take him down indirectly = cowardice

That’s. That’s how Broly operates with Paragus. His own father. Every day of his life.

He saved his own father from death as a baby, nearly dying himself in the process, and what did Broly get for it? Being called a freak. A Demon. Being tormented day in and day out by his father telling him the mind control diadem/suppressor crown was to help him. Being forced to hold himself back his whole life until Broly was literally ripped apart by what he tried to contain to be seen as “perfect” and worthy of his father’s pride and love. USED AS A SECRET WEAPON OF PARAGUS FOR SHALLOW, SHORT-SIGHTED PETTINESS.

Z Broly never had a single friend or person who showed him any amount of kindness that wasn’t a veil for secret, hideous cruelty, his entire life, born with something others deemed dangerous, something others felt was an acceptable excuse for dehumanizing him. Nobody tried to understand or help him. Nobody even tried to see beneath the surface or ask if he was okay. They listened to legends, gossip, his father, over what they could see with their own eyes.

His most desperate cry for help turns to joy when he finally lets loose despite being told that it would ultimately kill him. Wicked glee, a chance to show others a fraction of what he’s suffered, and the endless, unstoppable fear he endured. For someone to engage with and finally see him.

Now I almost think that that final punch Goku landed on Z Broly wasn’t so much “Goku’s just that powerful to destroy him” because THIS IS THE FREAKIN LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN. THE ONE THAT DESTROYS GALAXIES. Goku was only the ceramic chip to a car windshield.

Broly went out the same way he started: crying for help.

Z Broly is a heartbreaking tragedy and I’ll never be over it tbh

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone these last few days. Usually I'm a lot more composed and together but with a big move tomorrow and then going to having to job hunt soon, it's just been a lot. Especially since i was just at a con so I didn't get any down time per se to recover because it was right from the con to packing. But you've all been so supportive and understanding and it means the world to me 💖💖 so i just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for supporting me and being there and understanding that my activity / messaging has been a trainwreck.

[carefulfears]

feel like i’m always saying this but it’s just so special to me that y’all send me little messages asking for my thoughts on things and that you read and think about what i have to say and think of me when you want to chat about something and it makes me happy every time i check my inbox

Happy (belated, 7/12/2006) 16th birthday to Blue Dragon!

This game pretty much single-handedly got me through high school, and is probably the reason I ever started drawing. I still miss these dorks every now and then

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

My Opinion on TF2 OG Mercs (Clone Theory)

Feel free to disagree and give reasons as to why my suggestions may be incorrect!! I love learning! :D I have been into TF2 since I was a wee lad, but I am not fully fleshed out on all of its lore. I have also taken the time to input page/video sources to further back up my claims.

Please note that these are just my ideas on something that does not entirely matter. I desire to know the OG mercs out of sheer curiosity regarding the relationship between Spy and Scout, Sniper and his parents, etc. I also wanted to know who the OGs were based on MvM & who was from what team but wearing RED uniforms.

Thank you, & please enjoy!

OG TF2 Mercs:

RED Spy - Unknown. Definitely not Tom Jones. Please stop with the Tom Jones thing.

(RED - Meet the Spy video)

(RED - A Cold Day in Hell, seen with RED clothed Scout's mother.)

(Unlikely) BLU Scout - Jeremy

Jerma985 - Confirmed by Valve News Network interview.

(BLU - Meet the Spy video)

RED Scout - Jeremy

Jerma985 - Confirmed by Valve News Network interview.

(RED - Meets up with Heavy in A Cold Day in Hell comic. Same Scout from Unhappy Returns)

(RED - Unhappy Returns comic shows Scout talking about his mother and RED Spy being proud, then disappointed, in him.)

(RED - RED Spy & RED clothed mother shown with baby scout.)

(RED - RED Spy holds him as he dies - RED Spy pretends to be Scout's dream father as he dies, allowing himself the ability to be his father as his son dies.)

BLU Engie - Dell Conagher

Son of TFC Fred Conagher Engie

Shown in A Cold Day in Hell comic - fat w/ robo legs but alive.

Grandfather is Radigan Conagher.

(BLU - Contracted in (Loose Canon) comic to keep Mann bros alive.)

(BLU - Blood in the Water comic shows him helping Helen.)

BLU Soldier - Mr. Jane Doe/Arthur Blackburn

Jane Doe used instead of John Doe to get enlisted, even if he wasn't enlisted.

"CALL BLACKBURN 1-03113" listed in "Grave Matters" comic - Arthur Blackburn was an IRL (Australian) soldier in WWI & WWII & was a lawyer. Likely the theoretical same person/my headcanon my rules.

(BLU - WAR! comic)

RED Demoman - Tavish Finnegan DeGroot

(RED - WAR! comic)

(RED - Bombinomicon comic - wearing RED outfit as child & retelling story from childhood.)

(RED - Ring of Fired comic; goes home to mother. Demo is not excited when seeing RED Soldier; thus, they are not friends.)

RED Medic - Ludwig Humboldt

Humboldt was from Rottenburg (or maybe Stuttgart, where he ran "Humboldt's Pharmacy. " He was run out of Rottenburg for swapping too many baboon hearts.

Satan refers to Medic as "Mr. Ludwig," possibly his last name.

(RED - The Naked and the Dead comic, Medic momentarily dies and is sent to hell, where Satan interacts with him by name. This shows Medic 100% dying and 100% going to hell, then being brought back; thus, this 100% is the real OG Medic. He's also still wearing RED Med uniform.)

RED Sniper - Mun-dee (Mr. Mundy)

His first name is likely Mun-dee, as shown by the naming style from New Zealand (parents "Bill-Bel" & "Lar-Nah"). Possibly given the first name "Mick"/" Rick" from Australian parents? Unsure.

(RED - Meet the Director comic & Meet the Sniper video; allows outgoing contact w/ parents, thus real.)

(RED - Ring of Fired comic, Sniper is in Australia to find parents.)

(RED - Blood in the Water, shown in Australia in parent's house. Meets bio parents (Bill-Bel & Lar-Nah) in New Zealand.)

(RED - Old Wounds comic, meets parents in heaven. Although it was likely a hallucination from blue whale pineal gland brain stem injection.)

(Unlikely) BLU Heavy - Mikhail (Misha)

(BLU - The Shadow Boxers comic)

RED Heavy - Mikhail (Misha)

(RED - A Cold Day in Hell comic; most likely the OG Heavy due to interactions with family to return to.)

(Unhappy Returns comic; right before A Cold Day in Hell.)

RED Pyro - Likely Unknown/"Beatrice (TFC name)/'Bea' Arthur"

(RED - Ring of Fired -> Unhappy Returns -> A Cold Day in Hell comics.)

(Female - Besides literally everything pointing towards a female Pyro, along with TFC Pyro being female, the TF comic creator of A Cold Day in Hell jokes/hints that Pyro is female and still menstruating, with Soldier talking about honey and menstruating women attracting bears before saying he "always knew" and yells "PYRO" while pointing at Pyro. He then goes on to tell Pyro to move.)

(BLU TFC Pyro shown "Beatrice"; thus, it may not be Pyro's name. Dunno.)
