Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.

Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.

That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.

The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.

Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.

Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.

i was on youtube checking my notifications and i saw on my subscriptions feed that mumbo had the little red dot so i gasped very loudly and very excited, because that meant mumbo posted and i just hadn’t noticed, since i always find out mumbo posted by my subscriptions feed

last video i found out via notification.

the subscriptions feed only updates when you look at it, not when you have looked at the video in question.

the disappointment was immense.

Since it's been mentioned on the blog a few times now, and some people might be a little confused, since it isn't what his bio says, I wanted to make a post about Pythius' sons, Meinyr and Maina.

Ages and ages ago, he was mated to their mother-- a relationship that saw him abused and berated in a myriad of ways...ones that he only endured as long as he did, because of the attachment that his now ex-wife had ensured the boys had to her.

Eventually though, enough was enough, and when he finally decided to leave with the boys, she tried to instead take them and run away. He stopped her, and things escalated until she attempted to kill both Meinyr-- who was at the time, between 4 and 6-- and Maina, who was only a year or so old.

Pythius doesn't really remember much about it, now. He remembers seeing the building of magic, directed at his sons...and he remembers taking to his true form. Curling around Mei and Mai, and then...everything gets fuzzy from there.

In his panic to protect his kids, Pythius lost control, and not only killed his wife (good riddance tbh), but proceeded to destroy anything and everything in the surrounding area. Attacking anybody that got near, including his family, who had rushed to his aid when they'd heard he shifted.

Ultimately, even Merihem was unable to calm him, and his siblings had to put him down after safely retrieving Meinyr and Maina.

Death for a Prince of Hell is a temporary thing, and as the death was a clean one, Pythius was expected to revive again within a few months. Taking care of the boys that long would be easy enough, however...

For some reason, Pythius wouldn't revive from his altar.

Months turned into years, into centuries and millennia, and it began to seem as though he would never come back. In that time, the remaining Princes of Hell needed to decide what should be done to best protect and care for the children that their brother had left behind.

And so, once they were old enough that they needed to begin schooling and such, the lie began.

Meinyr and Maina were the sons of none other than Hell's King, and Pythius' younger brother, Satan. By who, nobody knew for sure, but with the escapades that most of the Demon Princes were known to have, it wouldn't have been odd if it was a one off thing.

It would dissuade anyone that might have thought to take advantage of the two young Princes. And it would distance them from any of the prejudice that arose from the various rumors spread about Pythius by their mother...from what came after the incident that led to his death, as well.

Of course, Pythius did eventually revive, but only within the last century; after both Meinyr and Maina were both long since grown. And though they could technically come clean about their true parentage (something that Mei especially has been considering, as of late), it's gone on for so long that it would likely cause more harm than good, right now.

But this is why Pythius having kids isn't something that most people know. It's not that people don't know about Mei and Mai; it's that to their knowledge, both of them are Satan's children. If someone is aware of this, it's usually because it's someone that one of the boys, or Pythius trusted enough to share.

Older boyfriend Price who is absolutely DISTRAUGHT over the fact that you don’t care about marriage because you think he’s over it.

Note: this one has no smut but it has mentions of sex and sexual relations so interact at your own discretion. Reader is in mid twenties.

Masterlist

“What the fuck do you mean by you don’t want to?” If Price had been any louder, anyone outside his car would’ve been able to hear him.

It had been a few months into your relationship with Price after almost a year of being friends with benefits. You weren’t sure how your arrangement changed over time but you were glad to be with him as he valued you a lot.

“I mean, think about it. You’re like, what? 40-“

“I’m 37, love”

“Right, yeah, I just think that it doesn’t really matter as long as we’re having fun together. Honestly, I thought you’d agree.” You said before taking a bite out of your burger.

Price could only watch you in shock. Sure, your relationship started on the basis of sexual benefits but when he did think of the future all he thought of was you. Even if you were a generation younger than him, he had never felt such synergy with anyone before. It was a connection of a lifetime - emotional and sexual.

“So you don’t give a shit about marriage because you think I don’t care about it.”

“Kind of. If I’m gonna get married I need my partner to be on board too, don’t you think?” He sighed at your reply. You looked up at him, confused and cheeks full with your dinner as you grabbed the plastic cup of coke.

His heart swelled at the sight. It was like looking at an innocent chipmunk. To think that the same face looked fucked out an hour ago awed him but he couldn’t let himself get distracted by your unintentional seduction.

He grabbed your drink and put it back in the cupholder. You were about to whine but he grabbed your face and pulled you close, noses almost touching.

“You-“ peck “-are the most wonderful thing to happen to me and I’ll be damned if I don’t tie you down with me in the future.”

Your face heated up. You had swallowed your food not too long ago but your mouth felt like it had gone dry.

With your face in his hands he continued. “I’ll have a rock on your pretty little finger before you know it.” He left a longer peck on your lips this time and pulled away.

What you didn’t know was that he already had a ring for you. It was stored away in a hidden drawer in his desk, waiting to be worn by you.

In fact, he had brought it just a month into your relationship. He wasn’t religious but he knew that a person like you was the blessing of a lifetime.

#wait #Jeremy Brett plays basil in a Dorian gray film??? (via)

yes! and he's very good!! in fact, I highly recommend the 1976 film for everyone (it's all on youtube!), and not just because of Brett! iirc it's a fairly faithful adaptation, which thankfully precedes the era of gritty remakes, and has an actually blond and sort of cherubic Dorian.

but most importantly, you need to watch it for this specific shot:

it's right near the end of the movie, after Basil's disappearance (read: murder by Dorian). Lord Henry sits in Basil's studio, the same place it all began, now emptied out. the camera pans slowly inward for a full 25 seconds, while Harry just sits there, completely motionless. it's this extraordinary moment of grief and stillness that he otherwise never displays.

the rest of the scene is all about highlighting Harry's folly: after all this time and change, he still talks in aesthetic riddles, still genuinely desires Dorian's beauty and youth, and all his wit has done nothing but alienate him. his wife is divorcing him, his best friend has disappeared, and this boy he once treated as a protege or experiment rejects him too. all that cruel wit, and in the end, he's just alone.

but in hindsight, it also puts so much perspective on his relationship with Basil! because he does care that he's gone! they were friends! and though the film doesn't lean into that angle, my god, just the prospect of it is so interesting!! (and was a huge inspiration when I wrote my own stage adaptation years ago lmao)

it just humanises Harry so much! all his flippancy and philosophy never prepared him for grief, but even he couldn't avoid it forever! and there's nothing to dissaude from treating his unlikely friendship with Basil as genuine - there are fairly obvious touches of it in the novel in Harry and Basil's interactions:

"You are an extraordinary fellow. You never say a moral thing, and you never do a wrong thing. Your cynicism is simply a pose."

"Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all." / "I don’t believe that, Harry, and I don’t believe you do either."

"You should have gone away when I asked you." / "I stayed when you asked me."

like, yes, you can treat those as just Basil being naive, or Harry flippant, but I think it's far more interesting to treat them as genuine. and that's there in that shot in the '76 version! those 25 seconds add so much to Harry's character, right at the close of the movie, and it's such a fantastic touch!

My bias is very much due to me reading the summary of fairy tales on Wikipedia, but I find myself constantly going " the audacity of men" when reading them, good lord.
