🔥 uh otherkin kinning what have you

fave hi. i think like... with a big huge "ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS" in front of it. i do think the "kinning for fun" andstuff kind of definition having almost entirely replaced common knowledge of what otherkinity is a bit of a shame. especially with the fact that forums online are becoming obsolete it makes it harder to find communities of people who r actually OG definitions otherkin and not just saying it as a fun thing. but i also think people who kin for fun are awesome but often still have this kind of "well im not one of those crazy losers who thinks theyre a fictional character or an animal" kind of mindset so its like well.. why even say ur kin then? its not like saying "i relate to this character" or that u like them a lot or whatever was invented by kinnies LOL

#answered asks #i also think MOST people that know abt kin stuff even if they arent kin themselves #by whatever definition #still look down on it a lot and are very rude and mean about it. but never ever catch me siding with #people who act like its an actual axis of oppression i dont mean it like that at all #its just rude.. and cruel. bullying really

please explain who engie is. i know nothing about tf2 and i would like to know about him + any special kin memories you have regarding him. u have no choice but to infodump.

no choice huh........

(@ future me add a cut here)

engineer's one of the playable characters in tf2, his schtick is building stuff to help others in battle, ie teleporters bringing teammates closer to goals, sentries to deal damage, and dispensers to heal teammates & resupply their ammo. the game calls him a defensive class, but imo the most fun engineer players to watch are the ones who go out of their way to terrorize the other team by playing offensively. (who knew the smallest sentry you could build could also be SO TERRIFYING)

as a character hes pretty neat imo, like a mad scientist but he tinkers more with machines than humans. a lot of his blueprints were actually adapted from ones his grandfather made. the last name 'conagher' carries quite a bit of weight in tf industries (specifically blu but im not abt to step into that territory..) also hes got like what? 14 phds? so hes kind of a menace. o yea he built his robot hand (the gunslinger) too.

also i just think its neat that outside work hes just this quiet old dude who would play u a tune on his guitar and buy u a drink for the hell of it and probably end up being ur best friend after talking for 5 minutes. i think ppl comparing him to a golden retriever arent so far off also important to note hes texas so as you can imagine, hes basically cowboy. he says yeehaw. so much. im sobbing please learn a new word

uhh what else..... canon he works with medic on experiments and stuff (expiration date short, gargoyles & gravel comic, more hopefully) so thats always Super Nice. also since i found the true meaning comic earlier and reread that i got to experience him reading a (VERY team fortress 2) christmas story to pyro (another good character) and god please i know the games abt shooting people but i want more interactions like THAT between the mercs..... just. lay down have some tea

uhh memories!!! uhh hmm well i was a fan of getting the gunslinger to work!! or its first incarnation!!! sure what preceded was... not fun but in the end i had a cool ass robot arm that functioned way better than my original. the *ultimate* upgrade... until i redesigned it later to current game canon. oh on the topic of buildings my sentries were basically my lil buddies!! id have a level 1 keepin me company in my workshop if nobody else was botherin me and its so weird now thinking abt a gun that likes pets but like. gun dog. obv the ones in battle werent like that bc i would be even more upset when they were destroyed but like. i still said hi to them kygjsnd

also if medic and i were staying up way too late workin on somethin id bring tea.. depending on how late it was and what we were doin id maybe wild out and add sugar bc dang it ur not texan if u dont have sweet tea. also i made 2 way teleporters for his lab and my workshop so we could send each other stuff. sometimes the other mercs would send weird shit thru the teleporters. scout sat on one without noticing it and he flipped his shit when he materialized 2 inches from me. good times

*clutches chest* CHRIST that was a lot anyway dont forget to like and subscri

#response #groovenians #kinning on main #i??? dont know if that answered ur question of WHO he is bc theres not a lot of intimate details from source #but uhh all u need to know is his full names dell conagher and he does a lil dance when u press g while holding the shotgun #and also hes one of the few mercs with a fully revealed name #i didnt go too much into canon lore bc theres also a lotta theories/speculation/fanon that i have mixed up lol #hope thats ok #long post - #swearing - #ask to tag #o yea thank u for sending this i!! enjoyed typing this out
