the tiniest headpats!

THEY

this art is awesome thankuuuu <3

Art Fight! First Attack goes to @tabieeee

Webb and Optical bantering with each other while repairing Titan Camera :D

[tabieeee]

cameramen are definitely pocket-sized (for some)

[tabieeee]

I want to stroke Optical's antennae downwards and then watch them sproi-oi-oing back into place! But they'd hate that, I'm sure (especially coming from a human). Would Optical tolerate TCam doing that? Or maybe even enjoy the attention?

Optical endures TCam's tiny pets with a lot of grumbling and complaints

(they definitely don't find it nice wdym)

[tabieeee]

this guy has negative rizz geez

[tabieeee]

THEYYYYY

Bruh I didn't expect this at all thank uu

Idk..

I’m less motivated now plus too lazy to put in my tags.

[STM anon B]

Judging by some of Rps (love them btw ),Tcam tends to just grab Optical with his hand. Have he ever accidently hurt them,or anyone else,without calculating his strength?

"Why are you looking at me like that??"

Yeah he did when he was still newly built. Optical would immediately forgive him though, they know he didn't mean to

[tabieeee]

Optical is quite protective of TCam and is DEFINITELY a Karen

[tabieeee]

What if large units were once regular ones? What if it was a choice to be rebuilt into a weapon at the cost of your old life?

What if that choice was made for you?

[tabieeee]

how to hold your chief engineer

[tabieeee]

You know how in his debut form, TCam had those little "ears"? What does Opti think of them?

I think they're biased

I like to think that the engis and scientists got drunk one day and slapped the ears onto the blueprints for lolz and then it just stuck around

[tabieeee]

titan cameraman's mechanic ain't too happy with his injuries

context: that oc is Optical, they're my take on what an engineer equivalent of plungerman/camerawoman would be. they're tasked with repairing titans & large types and take their job very seriously (and they can float due to hoverballs on their boots)

The Chief Engineers

(I realized that I never actually explained what a chief engineer is and who they are, so here it is lmfao)

The chief engineers are the trio that lead the creation of their faction's Titan and are considered to be the person to turn to when it comes to their Titan's maintenance, status and resources.

Before the invasion, each were formerly an engineering officer, a rarer, more specialized model of an engineer hardware that were made with the purpose of leading other hardwares in a team.

They ended up as leaders of their faction's engineering crews due to their several years of skill and experience prior to the invasion and literally programmed-in leadership skills.

The Chiefs are considered "elites", higher rank than most hardwares. They have the last say when it comes to the health and battle-readiness of their Titan, but are below the authority of other elites and have little say in strategy and what happens when their Titan is out in the field.

-

There we go :D I came up with these guys ages ago when I had a thought like: "hey what if there was a non-combat elite similar to Plungerman or TVwoman?" and thus 3 silly guys were created I'll talk about each individual one in depth tomorrow 'cus I'm about to go to bed lol

Chief Engineer Parallax

he/they/it (masc but not really)

Titan TVman's source of ego, Parallax often showers his titan in compliments and pretends very hard that he wasn't just doing that whenever someone else pops by

At work he is stoic and professional but that facade breaks easily into a goofy ass motherfucker

Opposite of an average TV, he is far more emotive and emotional, it weirds them out.

Acts professional, prefers to be goofy

Nervous & heartfelt

Knows how to fight, but is a coward

Creative, loves crafting figurines and other knick-knacks

Has a titty window for his chest screen. and his titties.

Emojis are always either sideways or upside down

Can walk up walls and defy gravity

Parallax is an expert in melee weapons and classified TV-tech, very knowledgeable but gets overwhelmed easily. He has no visible gear that allows him to fuck with gravity, but he does anyways. Goddamn secretive TVs.

[tabieeee]

I just felt like drawing cams

[tabieeee]

Chief Engineer Optical

they/them/any (they don't care, most defaulted to they/them)

Optical spends most of their time in the titan's hangar with their engineering crew

They're known to be extremely hardworking to the point that they collapse from exhaustion in the middle of working

They have an intense no-nonsense personality and come across as quite an asshole

Despite how rude they are, they genuinely care for their team and their titan and do everything to keep them safe.

Workaholic

Blunt & honest

Very direct & action-orientated

Protective & caring

Emotionally constipated

Obsessed with their titan

Barely taller than 5ft and salty about it

Optical is an expert on defense/utility and have invented hoverballs that they have on their tall platform boots that let them float around like the dumbass fairy they are.
