in a similar vein to my last post i very much think demo’d be so good with kids. i don’t know if he’d be a good dad necessarily with all that emotional baggage and undoubtedly enough generational trauma to permanently ruin a toddler within seconds but he’d be a great uncle, godfather, weird neighbor, etc.

consider with me here. uncle tavish with the eyepatch and the peg-leg. he looks scary but he tells great stories about wizards and wars and explosions and he leaves in all the gory bits. he’ll show you how to make a pretty good firework out of the cleaning stuff your mum’s got lying around the house as long as you won’t tell on him. he’ll help you pull pranks on your adult relatives and he’ll take the blame for them. he’ll let you sip on his beer and scrumpy if you swear up and down you’re grown-up enough and when you hiss and stick your tongue out at the alcohol he’ll tell you that means you’re probably more mature than him. he doesn’t seem that rich but he’ll buy you a dirtbike or a pony or a whole set of expensive action figures for your birthday and he won’t even act like it’s a big deal. there’s something so simply enjoyable to him about kids (kids that aren’t his), so kicking with wonder and fierce excitement about the world, and he does whatever he can to give them what he never got—the push to run around and discover and do what they want, and to spit and curse and play-swordfight in the backyard and everything else all the adults in his life never really let him do. really, under it all, at the end of the day he’s got the big dumb heart of an absolute bloody sap and he knows it, and it’s almost relieving to know he’s still got it after all these years. you know? it works out

#i can’t spoil too much of the postcanon fic i’m working on but i think a bunch of the mercs #left with basically no surviving family and very few connections #take up and move after scout who still has his whole huge family and go back to boston #demo comes with. i think it doesn’t take long for him to get just about as close with scout’s family as scout is #and of course they get frequent visits. engie comes up from texas every few weekends.#heavy and medic for a week out of every month with their own gaggle of children and siblings #soldier comes down from wherever he’s chosen to station himself in the midwest every so often #and one time he comes down and just. never goes back up. around the same time him and demo start sucking face in public #there’s so many plans. i have so many plans. you guys are not ready #sorry for writing basically a whole other post in the tags that was not my intention. probably #tf2 demoman #tf2 #bungus headcanons

i would like to be back at a mountain goats concert & i would like it right now if possible

#every time i’m like. well surely i have seen so many mountain goats concerts one of them has to be kind of meh one of these days #and EVERY TIME the god of mountain goats concerts looks down at me and says oh no i think you need your entire life changed again actually #yeah for the eighth time in 1 point 5 years. yeah #i Completely understand all the people who follow them around. like i don’t understand why anyone would want to be anywhere else honestly #i will get some audios from the show up this weekend! i think #my phone was like. literally 3 inches from the speaker for the second show so we’ll see how that turns out #also i would like to figure out how to clean up the tapes and make them sound better but where do you even learn that

Oh yeah I have been up in the forest and will not be back til June btw, if anyone was wondering why I didn’t respond to their message/tagged/ask. Internet is scarce up here

#and by scarce I mean non-existent #I’m down for the weekend and maaaaaybe down next weekend but that is. currently so so so far up in the air who knows where it’ll land #I have been raking so many leaves guys #I have discovered how effective mouse traps are against my will #I have swept so many cobwebs off the ceiling #and most importantly.. I have knit 2 bandanas #on Tuesday the children shall arrive #wish me luck the boys are 12 and maybe mean #they better like transformers. or starwars. or dc or marvel or star trek or #well #they better be nerds #I literally have nothing else to show for myself. I can’t kick a ball :(

Texas 💖

#i had the longest weekend on the planet #shitshow of a funeral with the most dysfunctional side of my family #and then my uncle never made it home and he's diabetic so we can't just wait for him to turn up again #i made a chain of logical leaps that felt right in the moment but are confusing even to me in hindsight #but with one phone call i found him in jail in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere and then drove two hours to bail him out #all this while I was badly sunburned on my period and covered in poison ivy blisters #did a kafkaesque little routine where every lobby we went into at the jail was empty and there was just a phone on the wall #and someone on the other end would say oh go into the next door down #and that would also be an empty dark room with a phone on the wall where they said to go one more door down #several times in a row #finally found an inhabited part of the building and talked to a sherriff while trying to hold all my arms and legs behind my back #to hide the horrible yellow crusty blisters all over my skin. look like an actual plague victim. feel worse.#keeping it together because i am Handling The Situation #my uncle was so happy to see us he cried #he'd been trying to call for help all day but the jail phone was showing up as Scam Call on everyone's cell #I was hailed by the family as Brilliant Detective: Finder and Rescuer #I went home and laid very still for many hours #anyway in between crises I got to spend a few hours at the beach and that was nice.

Cliffjumper, Hound and Mirage settle down in some remote part of rebuilt Cybertron and live the cottagecore dream post-war

#Hound forages #Mirage knits #And Cliffjumper wards off pests #They sit together in their cozy living room near their tiny fireplace with fuzzy blankets and cuddle during the night #They go on hiking trips every weekend and visit the farmers market when it comes around #The local kids sometimes hang around to see what's up with the kooky hut in the woods and Cliffjumper tells them to get off their lawn #Sometimes their friends come to visit and they make a bonfire and sit around it and talk about old times #and it's beautiful and life is good and love is real #and wow I should really just write down that fic already instead of leaving it as a wip and vague tumblr post sgwuajajal #tf #transformers #cliffjumper #hound #mirage #RGB #(is that the ship name???)#cliffhoundraj #I will also find some way to shoehorn Blurr and Hardhead in there because they're important to me #Maybe Sandstorm and Octane too #depends on how many rarepairs I'll be able to fit in subtlety #SHWJJSJSI haven't even started writing it aside from the general premise and I have five thousand other WIPs that I barely touch #I should not be talking like thisHWJAJSK

Milk and Green Apple for Penelope

(for this ask game)

Since we haven't introduced Penelope yet, as is standard, we'll do a quick write-up here. Penelope is a Galápagos fur seal (Arctocephalus galapagoensis). She's an accountant who works at a bank located in a tundra which primarily caters towards terrestrial animals. Though she doesn't particularly like her job, and initially picked this posting because it was the best option available to her during her CPA experience program, she sort of... got stuck.

Finding work is difficult. She was lucky enough to get rehired by the same branch after finishing her work experience program, but she can't really find anywhere else willing to hire her right now, and her branch is hesitant to let her go, considering that she's one of the most competent people available to her department. She can't really quit, but she can't really move forward, either, so she's sort of... stuck in limbo.

She's well-paid enough that she can live relatively comfortably, but she was at least partially a diversity hire to begin with, and the place she lives in now just plain isn't made for her. She's an aquatic species in a relatively dry area, and most of the species that her branch caters to are smaller prey species - hares, kea, and lemmings, and the occasional arctic fox. Most of the infrastructure is built for people half her size or more, and being an aquatic species, she's not really built to be living terrestrially 24/7 - wearing glasses is all well and good until your prescription breaks and the best replacement pair you can find is built for a stoat, and sure, she can afford a doctor if anything comes up, but no one in her area would really know much about her species, and can she really afford the time and effort added to the expenses of flying to somewhere else entirely just to see a specialist?

As is, she feels just... stuck. She handles it, mostly, with a mix of "gritting her teeth and bearing it" and "heading out to a nearby city which actually has infrastructure for anything bigger than a fox". She sort of has to make a Day of it every time she travels out, but it's better than staying in the same town all day, and paying a bit extra for a night out isn't *too* bad, all things considered. The situation, as is, is perfectly fine. She just... wishes that she could make something of her life beyond being stagnant in a town that she expected to just be a stop in the road.

🥛 [MILK] What is your OC's relationship with their biological parents like? What about their relationship with any non-biological parental figures?

Well... it's complicated. She doesn't have a bad relationship with them, per se, but it's a bit distant - she moved to an entirely different part of the world to take this job, and most of her communication with family members is by video call and similar things as a result. She cares for her family, and she wouldn't trade them for the world, really - but they expect a lot from her, and she's been stuck at the same place long enough that she's not sure she can live up to it.

Penelope sits in the awkward sort of space where she was academically successful, but that success didn't really transfer to almost anything else. She's got a job, she's good at it, she's got a degree - but she still can't get a job besides the one she's been stuck in for years already, and "still working at the same bank" isn't the sort of thing that feels good to say, especially when you've been in the same place for far longer than you've ever wanted to be.

Her parents love her. Her mother still holds out faith that she'll get that one promotion - just a few more years and you'll get your big break, just a bit more work and they'll notice how industrious you are, just a tiny bit more effort and you'll get a better position - but you can only believe something so much when you feel like you've been stuck in the same rut for so long. There's only so much you can hear about how you have so much potential before you start feeling like you're wasting yourself, and at this point... having the same things repeated starts feeling a bit like every day she doesn't get that break is a day she's wasting her potential.

She does not currently have any non-biological parental figures. Probably a bit late in her life to get one, but who knows at this point, honestly?

🍏 [GREEN APPLE] How do they differ from the norm and how are they punished for it?

...there's a lot.

Though her workplace tried to provide accomodations when she first arrived, it's been more than eight years, and nowadays she has to do most of her accomodation herself. Her eyes aren't really made to focus above water, she's got a very different body plan than most people at the branch, she's a predator big enough to make most of the other folks in her branch a bit instinctually nervous, and being one of the only seals that most people know means that she's been re-introduced to the same three harbor seals entirely too many times by now.

People don't really make chairs for people with tails the size of their bodies around here, which means that chair backs that accomodate her are generally a matter of either custom order or hoping that she's going somewhere that's dealt with one of the other half-dozen folks with the same needs.

Penelope is, fundamentally, Not From Around Here. She's not a species that's found around here, she's not a species that's especially adapted for here, and despite being a seal that's only around a metre long she still towers over most of the people at her branch. The closest person to her size is an arctic fox in the tax department, and he still doesn't really have the same sort of experience as her. She doesn't fit The Norm, pretty much in any way, and it... really, really shows.
