#engineering some headcanons

[notrobinsomethingworse]

Everybody know the scene in The Dark Knight where some idiot dresses like Batman and Bruce gets real pissed at him. Well it goes a little something like this:

Copycat Batman: What’s the difference between you and me!?

Batman: I’m not wearing hockey pads.

Alternatively:

Copycat Nightwing: What’s the difference between you and me!?

Nightwing: CAN YOU DO THIS? *insane quadruple flip off the roof with his middle finger out.*

Obviously not Red Hood: What’s the difference between you and me!?

Red Hood: I died.

Copycat Red Hood, mumbling: well obviously not.

Red Hood, cocking his gun: Wanna change that?

Copycat Red Robin: What’s the difference between you and me!?

Red Robin: Spandex isn’t usually something I wear on the regular. And that latex cowl isn’t doing you any favours either. While we’re at it- [proceeds to roast the shit out of the copycat until they’re begging him to stop. He doesn’t.]

Copycat Robin: What’s the difference between you and me!?

Robin, unsheathing his Katana: Run.

Copycat Robin: What?

Robin: If you care for your life you will know to flee. I will not give you another warning.

CB: *points to Greaseball and Tassita* These are my kids.

CB: *points to Electra and Wrench* These are also my kids.

All four of them: None of us are your fucking children, CB

[karlach-esmeray]

So we all know that Karlach was essentially the first prototype of Grotash’s Steel Watch--given to Zariel for testing of the new machine in return for access to infernal materials. This is my headcannon for how Karlach’s infernal engine works and how the blueprints for the fix would work. Essentially, Gortash couldn’t justify the cost and upkeep of using enchanted coolant on a large-scale operation, so they scrapped the whole design, leaving Karlach and the few others who live(ed) with the engine no hope of life outside of the Avernus. Luckily, the girls know a skilled wizard in Waterdeep who would love to help them out with an enchanting spell every 6 months or so to allow Karlach a chance to return to Baldur’s Gate. Now all they have to do is survive Zariel’s forge. Simple… right?

Esmeray was in tears reading the “results” section while imagining her love going through that, only made worse by the heartless description of it all. (If you would like a visual representation to cry along with, that part is based on this drawing done by the amazing artist @featherwurm whose work I heavily admire! That image has been burnt into my mind for months and I have cried too many real tears over it.)

-hcs for food/drink preferences that I think some clones would have, more under the cut-

Cody: likes neat-ish breakfast foods that have a bunch of flavor, but can be eaten quickly. doesn’t really have drink preferences, but first choice is always ice cold water with a little mint leaf in it. doesn’t hate any food/drink at all, but dislikes cleaning up after eating messy food (think of those very tall sandwiches that have the ingredients spilling out while covered in a sauce).

Wolffe: Big meal + with a snack guy. Has a more intense sweet tooth than expected of a clone, so he likes to pair a sweet snack with whatever he’s eating if he’s able. Hates most seafoods and liquid-y foods, but likes most other things. Doesn’t like to drink water so he either mixes syrups in or deals with it. Usually goes for very doctored-up caf, but his men are too intimidated to tease him for it.

Dogma: prefers non-spicy meaty foods no matter the size, but he ends up usually going for things he can eat in <15 minutes. Forcing himself to like vegetables for several reasons, but it isn’t going that well. Dislikes too-sweet things because of a fear of cavities and the burning/“full” feeling his mouth and throat gets. Denies having a drink preference at all, but he prefers just plain milk.

Rex: LOVES stews and salads and doesn’t care about anything else the entire time he’s eating. would love to have them for every meal if he could. Likes energy drinks and fruit smoothies even if he hates most sweet foods/drinks (gets made fun of for this by brothers and Ahsoka). also, not a messy eater but a loud eater, doesn’t care if it’s annoying.

Fox: despite being near so much food and eating a large variety of it, never actually developed a preference for particular kinds because he doesn’t feel hunger and everything is just “fuel” to him. Does prefer protein shakes and energy drinks, but can’t stand caf (smell is too strong for him, but will drink it if there’s nothing else). sometimes considers faking having generic preferences so his men stop trying to trick him into eating inedible things.

Stone: loves spicy & greasy foods, but is overall very adventurous when it comes to food, will try anything at least once. likes fruit juices and most alcoholic drinks, but won’t make efforts to get the latter since he’s usually very busy. genuinely hates bland food/drinks and won’t finish them, leads to some arguments/teasing/dares with others. has a citrus allergy but assumes it’s just a thing everyone goes through.

Bly: actually loves seafood prepared in any way (including raw), won’t eat any other meat dishes though. Likes any tea, hot water, and milkshakes. dislikes alcohol & caf + their smell and will sneer / walk away if someone is drinking it near him. wouldn’t consider himself vegetarian, but nearly everyone else does. also, hates being watched and talked to while eating, and gets angry/uncomfortable if he’s the only one eating in a group.

It's 1:45am and I'm posting classification hcs for the Champion Engines in Wembley StEx

If you knew me during the height of my StEx hyperfixation then you know I just cannot leave a character without some kind of rolling stock class my inner railfan just can't do it

These are based solely on livery similarities nothing else because these guys have nothing to work with (although the fact they're all referred to as "the (insert name here) makes me think that might be the name of their train rather than the engine themselves but that doesn't really help)

ANYWAY

Golden Eagle - West Midlands Railway Class 172

Silver Bullet - London North Eastern Railway Class 801

Blue Lightning - Arriva Trains Wales Class 175

Green Arrow - Iarnród Éireann Class 29000

Orange Flash - London Overground Class 710

I have a particular headcanon for how the faces of living engines and other large machines and vehicles work, that I am dying to write one day... Mayhaps if people are interested in discussing such things?

TF2 x Poker Night Headcanons!

Defence Class! :D

I love this game. If you haven’t seen the Offense class post, this is about Poker Night at the Inventory 1 + 2!! My favourite comfort game! See my first post on this for more details :3

We look at Heavy, Engie and Demoman :D Heavy’s already in the game so his sections a bit short :(

Heavy

I’m starting with Heavy because he’s already in the game so uhm…

In the First Game he’s closest with Tiny Heavy (Strong Bad), then Max, and is least close with Tycho for being ‘Blu’

For the second game I think Heavy would get along with Brock and Sam…? Would have probably met Sam prior because of Max in the first game. Brock has the same sort of physical build (aka large neck and muscles) so I’d like to think they could have a civil and relatable conversation together. He kinda disturbs the people of night one with some of his voice lines, but I’d like to think the Night two cast would see him more… normally? Like Brock and all his violence, Claptrap being from Pandora, Ash… would probably be a little freaked out as would Sam.

Heavy would respect Glados I think. He respects all the workers at the Inventory.

With Reginald they also have a pretty neutral relationship? Kind of canonically too. Probably holds less favour with him for being the one to bring the TF2 cast to the inventory

Engie

Night one… I can’t see him being close with any of the cast similar to Spy. Probably gets along with Winslow and Moxxi more than the table cast. Could probably talk code with Tycho but that’s about it. Strong Bad would probably admire him to some degree, I could see it.

Night one, Engie wouldn’t be a player. He’d be at the bar I’d say, getting a feel for the environment.

Night TWO however is a different story! Glados, Claptrap, Ash Williams. The robot guys! Would compare his arm to Ash’s, would want to try and fix Claptrap’s voice box if he can. And don’t get him STARTED on Glados!!

Oh my God, Glados - baby - one chance… (to deconstruct you and figure out how you work). Engie would be impressed but I feel like he’d treat Glados less as a person and more like machinery because of it…?

Again, probably talks nicely with Winslow. Probably a neutral relationship too though. Treats Moxxi with respect. Helps with damages where he can. Makes his teammates pay for his labour too.

Demoman

Again, same as Sniper who, like Spy, will be in the next post - he’s just kind of chill with everyone in poker night one. The cast isn’t DISLIKABLE but Tycho is a freak, Max is Max and Strong Bad is. Uh. Maybe he’d get along with Tycho? The real question is would Tycho be friends with Demo… so if anyone maybe Max? I feel like drunk enough he wouldn’t care who’s in his company.

Originally I was going to say Moxxi but I feel like she would get sick of his drunk ass. Same goes with Winslow as well, he’s sick of the damages Demo makes when drunk

Same as Engie, he wouldn’t be a player in Night One. He’d be at the bar. Night TWO however, he’d be drinking and playing.

Night Two, I see him being friends with Claptrap and Ash mostly. Sam as well but that’s honestly because I feel like genuinely Sam would get along with everyone? Ash because HAUNTED SWORD. NECRONOMICON.

Gets over Glados quickly. Same reaction as Sam at the beginning of Poker 2. Surprised at first, shrugs ‘I’ve seen weirder’, carries on with his life.

Reginald Van Winslow would HATE- dislike Demo for property damage. Or the costs of such for cleaning. He wouldn’t get banned though, I don’t think. Close to it! He’s on three strikes…

Do you have any Engineer headcanons?👉👈

Engineer Headcanons!

————————————————————

Hi Lone!!! FINALLY got around to writing these!! I hope you enjoy!

————————————————————

I personally think a LOT of the mercs knit. Including Engie. I think he, Sniper, and Demo all knit together. It's mainly comprised of Engie and Demo talking away while Sniper listens. I definitely think Engie likes to do big knitting projects. Like this man has spent months on huge blanket just because he likes devoting MANY hours to any project he starts.

————————————————————

I think Engie collects rocks. It stared because Pyro would always gift Engie cool rocks it found and he just kept them around in a drawer. Then one day Engie found a rock his own and gave it to Pyro. And Pyro started collecting the rocks Engie gave it. So now it's a little back and forth where they collect rocks to gift each other, and now they both have pretty big rock collections.

————————————————————

I think Engineer has a lot of nightmares. Never the same one twice though. They range from just general fears and your typical nightmares to really haunting ones that tend to stick with him. He doesn't know where they come from or why they happen so often but he's become pretty used to dealing with them. Definitely a reason he stays up working late...

————————————————————

Speaking of working late. He has and will continue to pass out at his desk after staying up for days on end. But! Inexplicably, he always wakes up back in his room. He doesn't know HOW he wakes up in his room. He always chalks it up to waking up in a daze and stumbling his way back. After all, none of the mercs seem to know either, or at least, they won't admit to anything...

————————————————————

In the same vein, absolute KING of forgetting to take care of himself. He's just behind Medic and just above Scout in the ranks actually. He gets so focused in on things that he forgets to do those pesky things like, eat...and drink. You know, minor things! He's sure it's no big deal. At least Pyro drops by with snacks to share sometimes.

————————————————————

For the life of me can't headcanon him as JUST a black coffee drinker even though I want to. You can't convince me this man doesn't like flavored coffee creamers. French vanilla, hazelnut, Italian sweet crème, you can't tell me he doesn't enjoy the occasional seasonal flavor. His love of coffee creamers however, does not stop him from brewing an entire pot of black coffee and only drinking that. Likes his coffee all ways.

————————————————————

Okay. Hear me out. This man hates criticism. He can't stand it. And not in an arrogant way, like he doesn't think he's above it by any means. I just think a part of him always takes critism to heart because he's trying his hardest and giving things his all, so sometimes hearing he isn't doing enough or good enough, even in the kindest or most constructive way gets to him.

————————————————————

I think his workshop is actually never necessarily "quiet". I feel like most of the mercs (Scout and Pyro specifically) come and talk his ear off a LOT. Literally telling him about anything and everything because, we'll, he likes to listen to them. Medic has also been known to drop by, but doesn't spend as much time as the other two. But even when he isn't being talked at by someone, he's got music playing, he's humming to himself, I can't imagine him actually ever doing anything in silence.

————————————————————

And that's all I've got for you. Hope you liked them, and sorry they took so long 😭

I think Electra (and basically all other electric trains that either run on AC power or have AC traction motors) have perfect pitch because detecting specific frequencies would be important for telling if a power supply is tasty or “hm nope” and it plays such a role in AC motor control and would communicate a lot. They only identify things in hertz vs musical scales and would probably appreciate microtonal music. The fact that steam whistle inflection and North American horn chords don’t mean anything besides personal/company identification would confuse them so hard (probably a common prank pulled on new ones). Whistle/horn codes are basically all rhythm-only worldwide.

(they’re also always the types to notice what frequency lights flicker at because that’s a genuinely important metric for them)

[welcometogrouchland]

I like to think that when the batfamily inevitably runs out of money and jobless Bruce, Tim, and Dick* find themselves in financial need, Steph reveals that she's made thousands of dollars taking odd jobs around Gotham City that we just never saw bc Steph hasn't been in a comic for months. Nobody checked in on her and while they weren't looking she made 6 grand babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre. Bruce has to grovel for enough money to buff out a scratch on the batmobile and Steph is revelling in it. This is the closest she's ever going to get to being a supervillain

*(Cass and Jason don't need money to survive on account of being homeless as kids + Babs funds Cass' basic needs and Damian is on his mom's payroll, same w/ duke even if it's obvs not al ghul money)

[jevilowo]

My Sniper analysis has blown up a bit recently (probably something to do with the multiple reblogs involving complaining about scout and spy mischaracterisation) so uh. Who should I talk about next

[inky-here]

assigning each of the mercs a the front bottoms song because I'm insane about the front bottoms and also i sat through a 20 hour bus ride with nothing better to do

sniper - skeleton

demo - hooped earrings

heavy - be nice to me

spy - camouflage

scout - father

pyro - tie dye dragon

engie - outlook

medic - swear to god the devil made me do it

soldier - fairbanks, alaska

this is my personal interpretation, please do keep in mind that english is not my first language, therefore I might've missed some hidden meanings:)

(three more are in reblogs because i hit the audio limit for a post lol)

feel free to add more!

[the-valiant-valkyrie]

i don't think i've ever posted this before but a little while (see: few years) ago i made a chart documenting my headcanons for solaris' personal timeline at zoraxis (based exclusively on what we canonically know she's done, and the fact that she was only at zoraxis for five years during the death engine mission)

[kalevalaknights]

Romantic headcanons for your favorite blue android please? Or just a heart drawing of head engineer mark if that's okay.

Blue is an interesting critter.

-I think he would memorise what semblance of a daily routine you have and “spectate” these mundane occurrences.

-If you make tea or coffee, for example, he has already made it. It’s on the table, and he’s nowhere to be seen. He is built for convenience, after all.

-He has an aversion to being touched or held, but he will slowly situate himself very close to you. Never touching or bumping, he knows your mannerisms by now.

-Says statements such as “I’m monitoring you for data.” “I tolerate you.” And, rarely even “I’ll accompany you.” Even if you are capable of doing whatever it is on your own.

-In turn, he may even ask you to accompany him. He doesn’t have anything spectacular to show you, but he will sit outside with you. Wordlessly carry an umbrella and say “I don’t do well in water.” As an excuse to hold it over you both.

-Walks down the street and points out houses or people to you, and when you ask what for, he’ll let you in on an embarrassing Internet secret or two about the person. Gossip central.
