The man, the myth, the legend, who inspired some of my takes for Tobias' rapid rise to opulence:

"During the early stages of World War II, Pujol decided that he must make a contribution "for the good of humanity" by helping Britain, which was at the time Germany's only adversary. He approached the British Embassy in Madrid three different times, but they showed no interest in employing him as a spy. Therefore, he resolved to establish himself as a German agent before approaching the British again to offer his services as a double-agent.

Pujol created an identity as a fanatically pro-Nazi Spanish government official who could travel to London on official business; he also obtained a fake Spanish diplomatic passport by fooling a printer into thinking Pujol worked for the Spanish embassy in Lisbon. His instructions were to move to Britain and recruit a network of British agents. He moved instead to Lisbon; – using a tourist's guide to Britain, reference books and magazines from the Lisbon Public Library, and newsreel reports he saw in cinemas – created seemingly credible reports that appeared to come from London. He claimed to be travelling around Britain and submitted his travel expenses based on fares listed in a British railway guide.

During this time he created an extensive network of fictitious sub-agents living in different parts of Britain. His reports were intercepted by the British Ultra communications interceptions programme, and seemed so credible that the British counter-intelligence service MI5 launched a full-scale spy hunt. The British had become aware that someone had been misinforming the Germans, and realised the value of this after the Kriegsmarine wasted resources attempting to hunt down a non-existent convoy reported to them by Pujol.

Pujol wrote 315 letters, averaging 2,000 words, addressed to a post-office box in Lisbon supplied by the Germans. His fictitious spy network was so efficient and verbose that his German handlers were overwhelmed and made no further attempts to recruit any additional spies in the UK. The information supplied to German intelligence was a mixture of complete fiction, genuine information of little military value, and valuable military intelligence artificially delayed.

For radio communication, he needed the strongest hand encryption the Germans had. The Germans provided him with this system, which was in turn supplied to the codebreakers at Bletchley Park. His encrypted messages were to be received in Madrid, manually decrypted, and re-encrypted with an Enigma machine for retransmission to Berlin. Having both the original text and the Enigma-encoded intercept of it, the codebreakers had the best possible source material.

On occasion, he had to invent reasons why his agents had failed to report easily available information that the Germans would eventually know about. For example, he reported that his (fabricated) Liverpool agent had fallen ill just before a major fleet movement from that port, and so was unable to report the event. To support this story, the agent eventually "died" and an obituary was placed in the local newspaper as further evidence to convince the Germans. The Germans were also persuaded to pay a pension to the agent's (also fabricated) widow. The Germans paid Pujol US$340,000 over the course of the war to support his network of agents, which at one point totaled 27 fabricated characters."

me checking desperately everyday for updates on my ultramerch (it will almost definitely just appear at my house one day)

[gatheryepens]

Okay so an artist I like will be eventually touring in my country but I didn’t sign up for access for tickets (I think?) so I’m unsure whether I can still buy tickets or not

[moinsbienquekaworu]

Feels like I'm gonna throw up I'm so stressed. Or cry.

I'M SO HAPPYYYYYY OMG

[aceofspades-sml]

shaking you by the shoulders. character ask thing with racetrack higgins himself

The king himself let's goooo (no i didn't get carried away wdym)

Favorite things about them : way too many things but I am gonna go with his optimism. Like he is always so upbeat and cheerful and trying to make the others laugh when they are down I love that about him

Least favorite thing about them : bold of you to assume I have one

Favorite line : "he put an egg in his shoe and... beat it." Also "hey your honor, how about I roll you for it, double or nothing" because as much as I love Broadway!race those are iconic

BrOTP : Ralbert ! Sometimes I can see them as romantic but for me they work better as a chaotic platonic duo

OTP : Sprace sprace sprace <3

NOTP : Race x Jack. I don't even know if it's actually a thing but I saw it once and I just can't see them as anything else than brothers

Random headcanon : look i know at this point it's basically canon but uh. Trans racetrack who also has adhd owns my heart. Also his love language is 100% physical touch

Unpopular opinion : I don't know if it's actually unpopular but uh I often see him portrayed as a chaotic guy always joking around, and while okay it's true I also think he is more caring than people give him credit for ? Like when it's needed he stops being a little shit and is a really good and caring big brother and I don't see enough of that

Favorite picture of them : I don't have my phone with the screenshots right now but y'know that moment in kony when he goes "look at me I'm the king of New York". In both version actually. Himbo energy at it's finest

[Start ID. The ending screen of the ULTRAKILL level P-2: Wait of the World. It was completed on Standard with a D rank, with 43 minutes and 47.094 seconds in time, 3020 style, and 59 restarts and kills both. The ranking board is blacked out so OP's steam username isn't shown, and on the other side of the screen the stats are unusually absent, indicating this is OP's first time beating the level. End ID]

sorry for showing up to liveblog ultrakill and then abandoning tumblr for five days in a row. It will happen again
