Level 32 Unkempt Harold

One of the highest dps weapons and easy to use, the Unkempt Harold is a staple in many players' loadouts. Due to the way the double projectile accessory works with this pistol's unique effect, the double penetrating prefix is highly sought after. Its matching grip improves reload speed and mag size, and it features a Maliwan sight for minimal obstruction while hip-firing.

I GOT MY SON BACK

[spark-circuit]

I think Mr Torgue and Boothill should meet up over drinks. They can bond over their shared censorship issues. And complain about galactic capitalism. And obsess over cool guns.

[sexhaver]

im replaying boredomlands 3 for some inscrutable reason and endgame Moze is such a deeply deeply funny character. actual enemies with literally trillions of HP are basically a formality to deal with, just whip out the Flipper or Unkempt Harold and mash/hold down M1 until the red dot goes away - the real enemy is myself. not in a metaphysical emo way, but in the very literal sense that at any given time i have one or two buttons i can accidentally press that will instantly down me in one frame. accidentally left click while ducking behind cover? whoops, you shot the wall and did over 1000x your hp in damage to yourself, better luck next time. i keep shuffling around the keybinds for "Alternate Interact", "Crouch/Slide", and "Grenade", so sometimes ill try to refill my ammo at a vending machine or slide down a hill and blow meself up tæ fuck instead. i spent two hours farming a godroll incendiary Flakker (shotgun that creates a bunch of explosions in front of you), only to realize that i can't actually use it because i have a 30% chance to double the size of the blast radius and instakill myself

Ref Sketches of Mech-Romancer Y/N (nicknamed Rome) and their 3Clip-Trap are fin; maybe when I'm fully writing their fic I'll color them and add Rome's Unkempt Harold and Roxxi's Good Touch guns XD but this is enough for the prompt I think.

[angeltannis]

I have so many thoughts about that idea but the prevailing one is Frey playing “God help you if I actually hit something” Gaige with 400 Anarchy stacks while Auden struggles to keep her alive as Maya.

Also think Johedy wouldn’t get it at all at first but a few hours in she’d be shredding on Sal. Convinced Cuff would just adamantly refuse to engage but would secretly get upset when everyone else is having fun and he’s left out. Then I think maybe he’d play Krieg

EDIT: Several hours later I remembered that Zer0 exists. I’m changing my mind Cuff would totally play Zer0

People reblogging my post to say they need more Asshole With a Heart of Gold girls in their life

[Image description: A digital drawing based on the film Girl Shy. It depicts Harold Lloyd's character Harold Meadows sat at his typewriter, paused in thought as his fingers hover above it. His eyes are looking up and his mouth is slightly open, like he's dreaming awake. A thought bubble floats around him like smoke, with the faces of two women in the middle of it. The two have annotations next to them that denote the twenties era stereotypes that they are styled as. The one noted as "the flapper" is smiling and has curly, slightly unkempt hair, with a headband around it. She has lighter makeup than the woman next to her, who has dark lips and eyeshadow and is labelled "the vamp". She has large circular statement earrings and an ornate headpiece atop her smooth updo. Her eyes are downturned, and her expression less approachable. Harold is coloured in greyscale, and so are the ladies, although they have a warmer brown tone, as does the smoke. There's a pinker line of light surrounding them and the writing. The background is a dark brown.]

Bunch of Shift Codes for Borderlands series that I thought I'd Share after typing them all down myself.

These are just a bunch of shift codes to use in different Borderlands games for free golden/diamond keys or special guns. I typed them all down to make entering them easier for myself, but I thought to share them with all of you as well because some people don't know they give out codes like these all the time on Gearbox's social medias every so often but the last month or two they gave out like 25 of them.

You can apply them in the corresponding game themselves or at http://shift.gearbox.com.

They're only valid until October 31 at Midnight!

Scottish actor Russell Hunter was born 18th February 1925 in Glasgow.

Born Russel Ellis in Glasgow, Hunter's childhood was spent with his maternal grandparents in Lanarkshire, until returning to his unemployed father and cleaner mother when he was 12. He went from school to an apprenticeship in a Clydebank shipyard. During this time, he did some amateur acting for the Young Communist League before turning professional in 1946.

He was with the left wing Unity theatre, and due to appear in The Plough And The Stars at the first Edinburgh Festival in 1947. At the last moment, the Arts Council withdrew funding - but the show had to go on. It therefore became part of the inaugural Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and the posters were altered from "Sponsored by the Scottish committee of the Arts Council" to read "Eliminated by ... "

Hunter worked in repertory theatre and Scottish variety before making his film debut in Lilli Marlene (1950). He appeared with Archie Duncan in The Gorbals Story, which was a major London success the same year. Rarely without work, he was particularly thrilled to join Peter Hall's Royal Shakespeare Company, and loved working with Peggy Ashcroft and Dame Edith Evans. Particularly suited to clown roles, he treasured a review by the Sunday Times's Harold Hobson, who wrote that he had "never seen such a lovely little Bottom".

Of course with his comic style Russell was well suited to the Panto circuit and appeared in numerous performances, many with his wife, the Scottish actress Una MacLean, herself a great actor and comedian.

The role of Lonely - the dirty, unkempt character in Callan made Hunter a household name, and he would remain recognised by the public for that part for the rest of his life, but his bread and butter was Scottish Theatre and he was rarely without work.

Although in the advanced stages of cancer, Hunter's last theatrical stint was in the Reginald Rose play 12 Angry Men back where it all started at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2003, he also appeared in the romantic comedy, American Cousins that year, playing an Italian grandfather in a Glasgow chip shop.

Russell Hunter passed away in Edinburgh's Western General Hospital on February 26th 2004.

A wee bit trivia to wrap up this post up, Peter Jackson is said to have remembered the series Callan from his youth and used Hunter's portrayal of Lonely as the model for the look of Gollum, with the bug eyes, the thin wavering lips, and the sniveling personality, I don't know how much credence to give this but they do look a wee bit similar!

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

--

Uh... sure, I guess... But why do you care anyway? What's the point of such a question? It feels like you expect me to keep an itemized list in my head of Media I Have Loved and to bump characters down a rung as I find a new favorite. This really isn't how I think about media.

Off the top of my head, here are ten characters I've liked a lot:

Ricardo Tubbs from Miami Vice

Lee Dongsik from Beyond Evil

Saitou Hajime from Rurouni Kenshin

Julia Larwood from the Hilary Tamar series

Harold Chasen from Harold and Maude

Tintin from... well... Tintin

Wen Ning from The Untamed

Wang Zhi from The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty

Napoleon Solo from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (either)

Vesper Holly from the Vesper Holly series

Is this an icebreaker question where the answer is supposed to let you get to know me? Is it a meta question about what draws me to a character? Is it a secret test of what media I like? I find this kind of ask very confusing, to be honest.

Most of these characters I like because they're funny and competent. Julia, I like because she's a pervert, a disaster, and unkempt.

TF2 Mercs Headcanons

That's it. That's the post. A long-ass post about my headcanons for the Mercs + Miss Pauling. Just a brain splurge, if anything, so cringe warning.

Also, FYI, Miss Pauling's segment might be shorter than the rest. I admit I don't have as many ideas for her.

——————————————————————————

Scout

~ His full name is Jeremy Willis.

~ He is 23 and 5'10.

~ He was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up in the Quincy area, mainly surrounded by his seven older brothers and ma.

~ As a child, he was in little league baseball.

~ Most definitely has ADHD.

~ AroAce (I'd get into that, but it'd be a whole spiel that needs it's own post).

~ Most of his older brothers became unkempt once they graduated, and some of the younger ones started to smoke; to push boundaries, or something. On the Quincy street corners, they could be spotted huddled together like estranged raccoons.

~ He has a rocky relationship with his oldest brother. The two rarely saw each other. Despite all the teasing and bullying he faced for being a runt, he loves his brothers. But him and his oldest haven't talked in a long while.

~ His ma loves him like no other. The Youngest Child Syndrome is very strong with him. Nowadays, he still gets letters all the way from Boston with cheesy nicknames and hearts drawn all over them from his ma, which he loves despite how much it embarrasses him.

~ Ticklish.

~ Hopped up on caffeine, he somehow biked all the way from Quincy, Boston, to New Mexico before unceremoniously collapsing on the side of the street to take a three-day nap, just to take the job of a Mercenary. He hates mentioning this, for some reason. Is it the "collapsing on the side of the street" part?

~ He can read at about a 2nd-Grade level. Any sentence more complex than "The cat chases the bird" will look like a foreign language to him.

~ He only took the job because bashing heads in in exchange for cash sounded incredibly amusing and fun to him. Other than getting into street fights as a kid, he has no real qualifications.

~ He stims quite a lot. He wrings his hands, bounces his leg, if he has access to gum he tends to chew the whole pack at once for the texture; and as he usually has a spare baseball on hand, he'll toss into the air and catch it or bounce it against a wall.

Soldier

~ His full name is Johnathan Harold Doe. After an incident, and thanks to outside hands, he now goes under the alias Jane Doe.

~ He is 44 and 5'11.

~ He was born in South Dakota.

~ Even as a child, he was extremely patriotic for America, despite his classmates jeers. He became very familiar with the dean's office.

~ He was raised in an extremely conservative household, and was taught to tote guns at a young age.

~ Had a terrible father.

~ For his teenage years and young adulthood, he spent most of his time in military camps and other youth academies, where he has seen and done some things he'd rather forget.

~ At the height of World War 2, he had attempted to join the army, but was rejected by every branch of the U.S Military. In a burning state of defiance, he bought himself a ticket to Poland and started blasting villages his gut told him were Nazi-owned, only returning in 1949. He is now a war-criminal in all of Europe.

~ He paces often; when and when he's not talking, when he's bored, or simply to stim. At first, it was somewhat stress-inducing for the rest of the Mercs; waking up to see him marching up and down the hallway and such at night.

~ The only way he can sleep at the base is if there's a fan on. If there is not a fan on, he will lay stock-still but never sleep.

~ Has an incredible sweet tooth. The only other way to convince this stubborn man to do anything other than to exclaim it's for America, is to lure him in with candy or pastries.

~ He created his own rocket launcher. He's a tad nutty, but he can be damn smart when need be.

~ He can read, though whatever note it is must be drenched with military jargon. The same goes for his writing; broken grammar and inappropriate use of military slang.

~ His birthday is February 22nd.

Pyro

~ He shed his full name and goes by only Pyro.

~ He is 32 and 5'9.

~ He was born in Italy. (I got this idea from the fact Italy is in the Ring Of Fire.)

~ Pyrovision is just for shits 'n giggles. It turns his favourite activity, burning people alive, into something ridiculous and silly that makes it all the more fun and enjoyable. He is sociopathic, but hides it surprisingly well under the guise of absurdity.

~ To me, Pyro is like Ash Firin from Superjail. While he is childish, young-minded, and kiddie; he is still a fully developed adult. He will enact violence on those he does not like, and quite viciously too. The only ones exempt from this cruelty are his friends.

~ He is also prone to mood swings. For reference, in a disagreement between Pyro and a stranger, Pyro is most likely to escalate it into a fistfight. When the stranger hits him back, though, Pyro would instantly crumble into tears.

~ (I keep remembering the panel where Pyro cut off Soldier's hand because he was getting in his personal space. And his muffled "Stand on the point, you wusses!". Then again, Pyro has three voicelines that are just sobbing.)

~ Autistic.

~ Intersex.

~ He was raised by his Nan after both of his parents died in a fire-related incident, caused by him. He accidentally set the drapes on fire, and then sat starry-eyed as he watched the flames spread. Before he knew it, he was on the curb, watching the smoldering ruins of his home crumble to the ground.

~ Despite much of his youth being bent over a chair and getting whacked with a wooden spoon, he loves his Nan like no other, and can be spotted calling her throughout the day.

~ Similarly to Scout, this full-grown child stims often; rocking back-and-forth, bumping his knees, fiddling with his own or another Mercs fingers, flicking a lighter on and off, ect ect. He especially has a certain hatred for textures; while he loves textured rubber to naw on or bend, things such as velvet fabric or Engineer's oil rags freak him out.

~ Even more ticklish than Scout.

~ A sweets-lover through and through, but he especially loves Italian pastries. They have an aftertaste of nostalgia and actually accidentally burning them when trying to bake them with his Nan that is irresistible.

~ The wiggliest sleeper ever. It's not that he's violent, it's that he goes to bed normally and ends up on the floor turned into a human pretzel when he wakes up.

~ He can't read, preferring another Merc to read to him.

~ As a man-child to the core, immature pranks are something to look out for if you stalk around the base at night.

~ His favourite movie is The Wizard of Oz (1939).

~ His birthday is on June 27th.

Demoman

~ His full name is Tavish Finnegan DeGroot.

~ He is 44 and 6'1.

~ He was born in Ullapool, Scotland.

~ He rarely saw his father when he was young. His father is practically a fable to him.

~ Monoculus and him have a co-worker relationship. It's a wonder how he manages with the voice of his haunted eye narrating his life.

~ Where most children would want to become pilots or policemen, Tav wanted to kill the Loch Ness Monster. During his time as a Mercenary, he actually managed to. It's still one of his greatest achievements, he believes.

~ Him and Miss Pauling have a pretty close relationship, bonding over going to wine tastings.

~ He started to drink to cope with the death of his father, and impending doom of getting a job. During this time too, he also started to busk (perform music on the street in exchange for money), where he'd play the bagpipe.

~ Tav had two sets of adoptive parents. His first adoptive parents sent him away, as they were terrified of his nack for bomb-making. His second set were accidentally blown up while he was trying to craft Loch Ness Monster-killing explosives. He's kind of ashamed about what happened to his second set.

~ When he accidentally killed his second set of adoptive parents, he was around age eleven. So, for about six months, he lived in the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans before his biological parents took him back.

~ He has long, dark hair that is indeed greasy, but nonetheless he has developed a habit of twirling it or running his fingers through it.

~ In 1964, when he first met the others, he was the judgiest of all of them. He was almost hostile towards them, but he came around in the end.

~ He can read and write perfectly well, though his handwriting does tend to go all over the page, even with lines.

~ His birthday is on October 31st.

Heavy

~ His full name is Mikhail "Misha" Orlok.

~ He is 43 and 6'7.

~ He was born in Moscow, Russia. Though, his current residence is in the Dzhugdzhur Mountains in Siberia. He has some Ukrainian origin in him, mostly from his grandfather (on his father's side).

~ His father was a prominent Counter-revolutionary, and a loud voice against the Soviet rule. So, in 1941, he was shot dead during a Soviet raid. Following the traumatic event, his family was traced and imprisoned in a north Siberian gulag.

~ His family was trapped there for three months, when a fire had been started by other prisoners. In the chaos, Misha led his family to safety, despite the yelling and gunfire surrounding him.

~ It took two months for his TF Industries "For Hire" letter to reach him by sled dog, and he only agreed if he was allowed to send the paycheck to his family.

~ When he had met the others for the first time, while Demoman was the judgiest; he was the most secretive. In fact, even now, most don't know his full backstory.

~ Other than Engineer, those Mercenaries who seek someone to confide to will come to Misha. He is the group's best secret-keeper, after all.

~ He has a PhD in Russian Literature, and is the second-best Mercenary at math-related subjects (behind the ever-sharp Engineer).

~ His favorite film is The Dirty Dozen and first 20 minutes of Rocky IV. Other than that, he doesn't watch movies. He generally prefers books.

~ He can read and write Russian perfectly, maybe a bit too grandiose, but he can do it quite well. English is where he struggles, and English documents are nearly indecipherable.

~ Not until it was pointed out to me, did I realize Spy had once comfortably called Heavy his real name. And, while that ended up being Classic Spy, I do wonder how close of a bond Heavy and Spy actually have. I imagine, both being book worms 'n all, they meet up one-on-one on occasion and simply discuss books over tea or the sort.

~ His birthday is on January 16th.

Engineer

~ His full name is Dell Conagher.

~ He is 48 and 5'6.

~ He was born in Bee Cave, Texas.

~ Most of his childhood was spent working under the hot, Texan sun on his father's oil fields. Sometimes, he would manage to con his friends into helping him with the hard labor.

~ He was a troublemaker as a child and frighteningly creative, but he thankfully mellowed out as he got older. Dell has seen and done some crazy, mad, and downright absurd things in his youth.

~ He has Ophidiophobia; a fear of snakes.

~ Dell's father is the TFC Engineer, Fred.

~ He has 11 PhDs, and cut off his right hand to use the Gunslinger.

~ His mother and father loved him as a kid, despite his father being gone often for work and such. On the weekends, though, he'd get a heartfelt letter from his dad.

~ While he himself doesn't consider it a stim, Dell has a tendency to rearrange things to occupy himself. Ranging from simply moving something to another shelf, to completely flipping his workshop upside-down.

~ When he was twelve years old, him and his friends were dicking around at an old ranch. His comeuppance for the tomfoolery? Getting kicked by a horse, right in the jaw. He's a proud Texan, and will gladly jump onto a horse rodeo-style, he will look just a tad uneasy.

~ While another Mercenary is the designated "Mother-figure" to the rest, Engi is the designated "Father-figure" to them.

~ A teacher's pet. He was "A pleasure to have in class", despite the laundry list of mischief he got up to. He managed to evade reprimand and keep a pristine report card just by using his wit and charm.

~ His birthday is on September 1st.

Medic

~ His full name is Ludwig Humböldt.

~ He is 45 and 6'0.

~ He was born in Rottenburg, Germany.

~ He is Jewish.

~ Autistic (Fighting the Eric Cartman "Three strikes, Kyle!" quote rn).

~ He came from a long line of both doctors and chemists, and the bulk of his medical knowledge came from reading his father's books.

~ While his mother and father loved him, though possibly weighing him down with high expectations, his classmates were the worst.

~ He was a crybaby and easy to annoy, which made him the target of many of his classmates pranks and jeers. It didn't help that his glasses were huge on him as a kid.

~ He was around eight to nine years old when the Nazis took over, and he was sent to live with his grandparents. Following the capture of his parents, he and his grandparents moved into a small village in Austria.

~ When he was sixteen, he used his cunning to fake his own papers, and join the Austrian resistance. He was a medic then, following in his father's footsteps, and due to the horrific things see saw his sanity decreased substantially.

~ Following the war, he reclaimed his family's clinic in Stuttgart, and began to work as a doctor. Here, he stole a man's skeleton.

~ He was also later invited to a Prime Minister's wedding, where he stole the wedding doves; giving him Archimedes and the rest of his dovery. He was going to preform experiments on them, but the birds somehow won his heart.

~ After this, he moved to the United States as to not be detained and have his experiments impeded. And the rest is history!

~ We all are familiar with Archimedes, his beloved second-in-command, but he has ten total doves. Euclid, the food-stealer; Eratosthenes, a talkative, perky one; Hippocrates, a charmingly dopey thing; Aristotle, flouncing about and prone to bullying the other doves; Thales, a kleptomaniac; Eudoxes, blind and as Archimedes is to Medic, Eudoxes is to Demoman; Galen, mischievous and a trouble-maker; Socrates, likely the eldest and loves cozying up in one's shirt; and Xenophanes, who is noisy, demanding, and prone to scratching and biting.

~ He's the designated "Mother-figure" to the Mercenaries; who'll heal their injuries and not mock them for whatever crazy or embarrassing way they got said injury. God, they drive him up the wall sometimes, but something's holding him back from snapping (most likely the fondness he has for the others, especially Heavy, but don't tell him that (repressed) ).

~ His birthday is June 30th.

~ (canonically, Medic made a deal with the Devil in order to have his god-like medical skills what the shit)

Sniper

~ His full name is Michael "Mick"/"Mickey" Mundy. But his name also is Mun-Dee.

~ He is 27 and 6'1.

~ He was born in Dunedin, New Zealand– which is underwater, of course. He is also part Māori on his mother's half.

~ He spent his childhood in Adelaide, Australia; where he was picked on by other kids.

~ Plenty of jeers were thrown his way, by both adults and children, as he grew up. Everything from "beanpole" to his very own nickname of "Mick-Stick" he had memorized.

~ Most of his youth he spent high in trees, away from his bullies and teachers and other adults who would no doubt spit in his face and step on his achievements. As he got older, with pinpoint precision, he made rocks and sticks rain from the sky and onto his tormenters as their comeuppance.

~ His adoptive parents loved him, of course; and he loved them back, but they did not care for his blossoming profession. His father did actually teach him how to hunt, though, which probably didn't help.

~ As a teen, he took up a small gig as an animal exterminator. As a novice exterminator, he had faced giga-sized crocodiles and kangaroos twice his height. He'd stab mothballs onto the points of his arrows, and launch them into parks overrun by spiders and their webs. He'd pull gluttonous, bitey fish out of lakes with his bare hands. It was definitely much more fun than his current "extermination" gig.

~ He has a peculiar ability to crash like a wreck anywhere; simply getting too comfy leaning against a wall could cause him to start snoozing. On the other hand, any small noise will startle him awake, and prevent him from falling back to sleep for the next few hours.

~ The amber-tinted sunglasses he's iconic for actually are his dad's, which he keeps and continues to wear for sentimental reasons.

~ Every few years, the zit-faced mail boy brings him an algae-covered glass bottle with a wet letter inside, always starting with "My dearest son...". He always throws out the letters, because he knows what they contain isn't sincere.

~ His birthday is March 25th.

Spy

~ His full name is Jacques bon René.

~ He is 43 and 5'11.

~ He was born in Marseille, France.

~ For a rather large portion of his life, he was a foster kid.

~ Most of his childhood was spent on trains going all around France, with a service worker holding his hand until they reached their desired destination. He doesn't remember how many homes, or other miscellaneous places, he has been to.

~ The Mercs are screwed-up people, but I'm trying to keep my headcanons lighthearted in vein of the game, but I have to mention this headcanon of mine. He was homeless by the time he was around seventeen, and he was whoring himself to afford a way out of France and to England. Once he got there, he spent at least a year living in a small apartment with three other roommates. One suicide attempt later, he simply left and became the Spy we know today.

~ He used to be a prolific bookworm, and at each house he moved to, he would always be seen tucked away somewhere with his nose in a book. As his job became more intertwined with his life, though, downtime to pick up a book became scarce.

~ Adding onto that, he is one of the best to go to for book recommendations. While many of his most common recommendations are French literatures, he has read a fair few English books he can lend over.

~ He had to have been little older than sixteen when he had ran away from what would become his final "real" home. All he can really recall is a rude exchange of words, and himself storming off in a huff; never to be seen again.

~ He's... kind of made a vow to himself to never rejoin society again. He doesn't exist, and he pretends to like it that way. So, having a son frightened him; and he ran away, fulfilling other contracts until he either died or forgot about it. Neither happened. So each time he sees Scout, there's still some lingering guilt.

~ Medic is not the only Mercenary in ownership of a feathered companion; as Spy owns a very spoiled, somewhat creepy raven known as Aristotle (it's a coincidence that one of Medic's doves shares the name). The black bird stalks around his owner's smoking room like a shadow, but retreats to a golden cage to sleep in at night.

~ He is Aplatonic (Someone who doesn't experience platonic attraction, or lacks a desire to form friendships/has difficulty forming friendships due to neurodivergence or trauma).

~ His birthday February 29th.

Miss Pauling

~ Her full name is Flo Pauling.

~ She's 29 and 5'8.

~ She was born in Bristol, England.

~ Ever since arriving in the States, she's managed to hide her accent very well. Only a few who've either caught her early in the morning, or are the Mercenaries, have heard her real voice.

~ Lots of her childhood is completely voided in her memory, and with how busy she's kept by The Administrator– her life, to her, is first being born and then working under The Administrator. She hardly has a minute in her schedule to think about her past, and I don't believe she'd care about it if she did.

~ She's forgotten her past for good reason, as it wasn't the prettiest or kindest childhood one could have.

~ For brevity's sake, we can just say that she was shipped off to The Administrator's at twelve years old for her own family's greedy ideals.

~ The Administrator has been microdosing Miss Pauling with Australium ever since she came under her wing, most likely to prepare her for taking over once The Administrator dies. Well, if The Administrator dies.

~ Lesbian (I can't stop thinking about the moment in the comics where she forgoes joining Scout in getting to safety just to oggle at naked Zhanna).

~ Miss Pauling no longer has any official personal records. She legally doesn't exist nor is remembered by anyone who has once known her; similarly to Spy.

~ She has a variety of small ways to keep herself occupied; fiddling with a pen, whistling or making clicking sounds, tenting her thumbs, and notably, organizing things. Unlike Engineer, she simply tidies things up to pass the time rather than fully rearrange a room.

Miscellaneous (Worldbuilding, Side Characters, ect.)

~ The TF2 Universe is, at most, 6,000 years old according to Merasmus; who says he is both older than time and 6,000 years old. The timeline of the TF2 Universe is so short because God, for lack of a better term, speedran history in order to get to the good part (The Birth of TF2 Scout).

~ The Mercs we all know and love are the second-option; as no good professional who knows their worth will waste their time fighting over a gravel pit that doesn't exist anymore. Teufort was built over the original gravel pit. The Mercs were the only fools stupid enough to agree to the contract, minus Engineer, who's an inside-worker for The Administrator.

~ The Administrator is 152 years old due to Australium, as we all know, but she is also lesbian. She has had almost all-female assistants, of which she has gotten into a relationship with and promptly broke up with to break their hearts (I mean, when you're that old, you have to be at least somewhat jaded. You have to find SOME way to entertain yourself, right?).
