You know what TF2 really missed back in the day? One of those typical, kinda cringy AMV videos from the 2010’s made by thirteen year olds about showing different fanarts of shipping the mercs with a female self-insert with the classic songs of Ya Soshla S Uma by T.a.t.U or Bad Boy by Cascada playing in the background. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, TF2 somehow dodged that very specific corner of 2008–2014 internet culture that swallowed almost every fandom alive.
You'd have a video titled something like: "TF2 Mercs x Reader AMV ♥♥♥"
Uploaded in 2011. 480p quality. Windows Movie Maker transitions every three seconds.
The creator's username is something like xXSniperLuvr99Xx whose profile picture is a glitter wolf.
Thirty-seven likes. Nobody ever replies.
Absolute internet archaeology. 😂😭
And then the video opens with:
"This is my OC/Self Insert. Her name is Shadow Rose."
And Shadow Rose is:
The Administrator's secret daughter.
The best assassin ever.
Has heterochromia.
Is somehow dating half the mercenary team simultaneously.
Has angel wings for no explained reason.
Then Ya Soshla S Uma starts blasting at maximum volume while fanart rapidly flies across the screen with star-shaped transition effects:
✨ Scout looking embarrassed.
✨ Soldier carrying her bridal-style.
✨ Demoman giving her flowers.
✨ Sniper having 90% sunset images, 10% kissing, 100% angst.
✨ Spy somehow becoming a loving husband despite every canon indication to the contrary.

Do any of u have decent recipes that are like 5 ingredients (not including spices) and take 45 mins or less to prepare i gotta stop eating sandwiches for dinner
ignore the title of this google doc because it's a long story but it's a really solid recipe for southwest chicken alfredo
this is a vegetarian potato curry recipe that's about 75% spices; once you get the potatoes in there you can really do whatever you want with it
this is literally just pasta, broccoli, and cheese babey and you can live off that shit for DAYS it makes such a big portion
bro this spinach/pesto/3 cheese flatbread is so fucking tasty bro
also you can make the flatbread yourself it's super quick!!
oh hey I'm eating this white chickpea chili right now, much like the curry it's mostly spices and you can do p much do whatever you want with it
don't let the name fool you these potatoes are delicious any time. not just breakfast.
this is slightly more than five ingredient when you add them together but if you have time and really wanna fuckin treat yourself I recommend these chicken strips + this cornbread + either these potatoes or these buttered veggies on the side.
this recipe for gogumabap (sweet potato and rice) saved my life when i couldn't eat hardly anything for a long time. the recipe itself calls for a heavy bottomed pot but you can absolutely use a rice cooker and put the rice and diced sweet potato in together and just let the machine do its thing
If you have a crockpot, I do a really good pulled pork carnitas that is:
Pork - any cut boneless
Onions- chopped anyway you like
Orange juice - about one cup (you can use about 2 tablespoons of the condensed frozen stuff if you have it)
Root beer, pepsi, or other cola soda - about one cup
Preferred chili mix seasoning - 1-2 packets depending on how intense you like your flavoring and how much pork you put in
Garlic - as much as you wanna, specifically smashed not cut
Canned or frozen corn - to your preference
Dump all that into your crockpot in the morning (or the night before) and let it run on low until dinner. Cook some rice if you feel like it, or just serve over tortillas.
relationship between All These Things I've Done by The Killers and Project Hail Mary (2026)
i'm gonna talk a lot so yeah b prepared
i also repeat myself a lot? pardon
i will write a section and a list of thoughts after the aformentioned section in bullet points. bolded text is an idea i'm trying to make prominent.
i.e.:
"[intro]"
something something intro stuff whatever
"music make you lose control"
yeah hes right
made me lose control
"[intro]"
there's a long, sustained chord on an organ and some piano chords
edit: i forgot to mention the fact that the organ is usually a church instrument, further implicating christian ideology in the movie project hail mary
very awesome thanks christians 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
audio leaks in from a high note on the piano
as someone who deeply enjoys movie cliches sometimes, it reminds me of when characters wake up all groggy and confused
it reminds me of when people wake up to the sound of a heart monitor
the note the second line begins on isn't really expected to be that note, and i'm thinking it's not actually in the key
upon further inspection, it's an accidental
it's a pretty common theme in the song, and it's kind of jazz-blues-y to me
it's a pretty common theme that grace isn't trained or cut out for space
reminds me of this post (please tag creator or share link if you know what i'm talking about [i can't find it]) where this person mentions how the other astronauts wear yellow uniforms under their jackets and he wears it on the outside, almost like he's literally wearing his heart on his sleeve
now that you (i) mention it, i think that post was on twitter
i don't have twitter
the only twitter i have is under my first name and is only to look at p!links or to metaphorically stalk people
anyway
the accidental note
i think it diminishes the chord? it makes the chord weird. and it soothes out so naturally over the course of the song
wow haha wow how the fuck did killers pop that bad boy out
"when there's no where else to run"
grace running away obviously
but also how they believed he had no real purpose on earth because he wasn't very important
makes me think about that post about the "you don't even have a dog" (@melandrops) like that proved that he hadn't a purpose on earth and that sending him into space wouldn't be too bad because of it
makes me think a lot about humanity and my needs and desire just to live as a person even though some people (millionaires, billionaires, rich people, the government, my boss) see me as way less, though still providing a benefit to them
what i mean is, ants are in my house. they don't do much other than take crumbs. i personally don't care for them because they're just ants. but the ants know that i provide their food, some of their home, water, and other benefits. the ants understand that i'm a person of means and give, and they probably know that i don't care about them
that doesn't make them any less of a child of god
not religious btw but i might as well ref christianity if i'm talking about a movie called project hail mary
"is there room for one more son? one more son"
so i've always heard this line is "sun" instead of "son," but it can work both ways
the note "is there room for one" starts on an accidental, much like how ryland grace's space exploration was not his idea and kind was an accident
on his part
it resolves in "one more son?" and continues to resolve in the second, more spoken as a statement than a question, "one more son"
is there room for one more son? for one more person on board? for one more person in the meeting? is there room for another of god's lambs? is there room for me, ryland grace?
is there room for one more sun? is there room to save our own? to save erid? is there room for the savior of the sun? for the saving of our sun?
is there room for the saving of our sun? of our son?
or must we eject him from our planet in order to save it?
will space allow an outsider, a science teacher, into their threshold
will astronauts count him as a man of discovery, science, exploration, and problem-solving? will space allow someone who didn't want to be there? will the international board meeting allow some dude into their conference to solve their problems?
is there pride in what he's doing? is anyone prideful of him? should he be expect congratulations and pride? does he know people are proud of him?
is he revered in the eyes of the people or perhaps the eyes of god?
does he believe he should be revered?
"if you can hold on / if you can hold on, hold on"
the beat arrives
welcome beat
i always heard it as "if you can't hold on, hold on," which, in my mind, meant to defy what you know you can and can't do in a way that reroutes it and aims for a similar goal
which is what grace does
if you can hold on, hold on
please keep me, ryland grace, close, humanity (people on earth [i do not want to leave])
please keep me, humanity (the concept of humanity and the qualities of a person), close, ryland grace
remember you are a person with a purpose
it's a little far to go home now, so might as well go shoot for the stars and kill their killer
definitely reminds me of him writing out who he on a white board was to wake him up from amnesia
"i wanna stand up, i wanna let go"
i, ryland grace, want to do for humanity what is necessary
i want to help the world and save people and save the world and worlds beyond my own
i want to let go of my cowardice in order to help you, world
"you know, you know"
1st "you know"
stratt knows she has to because she wants the same thing for the world and the stars
2nd "you know"
grace knows that this is a cause he lowkey believes in and he wants the same thing for the world and the stars
"no, you don't, you don't"
i, eva stratt, know damn well you are not fit for this (not like it'll stop me from launching you to heaven)
i, ryland grace, know that i am not what it takes for this mission and for this entire operation
you don't understand that i, ryland grace, want and need to stay down here
no matter how dedicated i am to this case, i don't want to go
find someone else please i'm begging you
but your begs will go nowhere ryland grace
"i wanna shine on, in the hearts of men"
i want to be revered for this
i want to be known, to be respected, to be praised, to be prided and proud
if i, ryland grace, have to go out to the world like this, i want to be remembered even if you, eva stratt, think i have nothing to my name
they need to know that i went down with a fight and with reluctance because they need to know that it was that big of a damn deal that they had to pick a teacher from the streets off his bike to throw into oblivion
they need to know that it was that serious and it will always be that serious
that the one human life, that the one individual vote, that the one kick to a stone, that the one gust of wind from that one butterfly,
it is all that serious
in the eyes of man, the 8 billion or something humans
in the eyes of god and his creations, his infinitely expanding magnum opera
"i want a meaning from the back of my broken hand"
i will fight for my right not to go
i will fight for this cause i'm being kidnapped for
but, like i, ryland grace said, i will not go down without a fight, whether it be the process of being ejected into space, the pride, purpose, and progress that one human can achieve, and the representation of that (in spite of people who think they have the right to send you to space because you comparatively have much less going on and much less to give and benefit bigger corporations, like Big Science or the government)
i will give myself a meaning and a remembrance and an honor even if i have to do it through blood, sweat, and tears
"another head aches, another heart breaks"
another star is dying
what will happen if you, ryland grace, don't go out there and fuck it up for earth
what will happen if i, ryland grace, don't go out there and fuck it up for earth
for the universe
people will get hurt and die
i, ryland grace, have to do something
i guess
i lowkey have no choice
COMMON THEME!!!
i have no choice, so might as well make it the best damn opportunity i'm given and do my best!!!
"i'm so much older than i can take"
i can't do this i, ryland grace, am literally just a school teacher
fahhhhh
doubt about his abilities
eva stratt, you see things in me that i'm not even sure are there
thank you, eva stratt, for believing in me so bad you put me in A Situation
"and my affection, well, it comes and goes"
i'm not actually sure?
aroace grace believers hmu i gues
i think of it as the ambiguity of what he wants for the world and what he wants for himself
big big thing in humanity to sacrifice a little bit for the greater good and the greater of those around you
also big in communism?
i, ryland grace, need to sacrifice some stuff for the greater good
i, humanity and eva stratt, need to sacrifice someone for this cause
please don't let it be me, ryland grace
i understand we have to send someone up, but please send someone up with competence
"i need direction to perfection, no no no no"
i need help
why, yao li-jie and olesya ilyukhina, must you leave me?
i need someone who knows what they're doing because i, ryland grace, sure as shit dont
maybe that's what we need: someone who doesn't know what they're doing
reminds me of how sometimes scientists find Ancient Stuff and they don't know what it is, but upon consulting someone of the arts, it becomes clear its purpose
much like this dodecahedron thing with prongs on it that historians and scientists believed was a religious item until an older woman used it to knit something
they need something not entirely fit for the subject of the matter for the sake of the other worldy experiences they have that can help them on their mission
too much faith in someone with not enough experience grace thinks
enough faith in someone we know got this (just enough) stratt thinks
"no no no no" and then straight into the chorus is like his process of being evicted into the shuttle
the last memories he had of going into space were of denial
"help me out, yeah"
i, ryland grace, am asking you to be on my side about this
i need you to help my case
i, ryland grace, do not want to go
i need someone in space with me
i need guidance i can't do this alone
hi rocky!!!
rocky and grace save stars
AND AND AND!!!
they together!! helping each other out!!! YEAH!!!
"you know you gotta help me out, yeah"
stratt says
send one person out into oblivion to save the nations
yes that one person had a good life and doesn't want to go BUT so does everyone else on earth
you have to do this for earth
its such a hard thing to verbalize as me, op, the juxtaposition between knowing you have to be a sacrifice to save your people and to want personal comfort and to life your own damn life
juxtaposition between the people's faith in you and your faith in yourself
you know what you can and can't do, and i guess some people also see things you can and can't do as well, whether you realize that you can do those things or not
"oh, don't put me on the back burner (nooo)"
they did put him on the back burner tbh
he probably interprets this as them not caring for his life and using him as a global savior however undocumented, not remembered, and not given credit where it's due
sympathizing with the other side, it's probably clear that this is the best they could do
obviously it doesn't feel like that because why did you send a teacher into space for some reason
but in the grand scheme of things, this was the right thing to do
"you know you gotta help me out, yeah"
rocky hi rocky
lets work together and solve this problem!
you, grace, have to help me, rocky, out
you, rocky, have to help me, grace, out
we, grace and rocky, can do this TOGEHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"and when there's nowhere else to run"
lol reminds me of grace's ship running away from rocky's
it also reminds me of them spinning together
that made me so happy
one of the greatest, most cinematic, most intimate things you can do with someone is to spin together and literally watch everything around you turn into a blur
and your head gets light and so does theirs
and you are reminded you are doing this together
"this" general statement for many things if not everything
"is there room for one more son?"
lol rocky invading his ship
"rocky my hand is up"
is there room for one more friend?
is there room for one more dog post mortem your previous?
is there room for a new spouse after being widowed?
is there room for skin to cover the wound?
is there room for one more sun?
is there time to save my, rocky's, sun as well?
is there time to save my planet?
is there room for one more adventure? with me, rocky?
"these changes ain't changing me / the cold hearted boy i used to be"
i, ryland grace, am still a person
i still have humanity live and thriving in me
yes i'm going through changes BUT have you considered i'm still ryland grace from earth and that i'm still on my mission to save the stars
reminds me of this post by @breya-etherium-shaper about being multiplied by 1 and being the same though a process has occured
cross-referencing tumblr on tumblr is such a chud thing to do
fuck
anyway
yes hes spiritually a different person BUT spiritually he's still the same guy
everyone is the same person they were when they were five
processes have occurred and maybe you dont look, act, or sound the same but that's still you!
it's you!
despite everything, it's still you.
from undertale
"you know you gotta help me out, yeah"
rocky you have to help me, ryland grace
ryland grace, you have to help me, rocky
no lead in this time
it goes straight to it
last time there was the denial aspect and now he's over it
i, ryland grace, just need help
it's too far to go back now, so i might as well get help from you, rocky
if i, ryland grace, am gonna get this done, and if i can't come back, i might as well die trying
i will bring myself down and tear apart what i have left of me to save this
fuck
maybe i will become a shell of who i once was
but i am still a teacher
i am still a human
i am still a dude
despite EVERYTHING, it's still me, ryland grace
reluctance
this is the absolute apex of the song
i believe this is the bridge
guhhhhhhhh
if you care to listen to the song, it begins as the lead singer singing quietly to himself almost
then people join him
this is people! this is humanity! its to come together for one great cause
regardless if youre a human or not!!! connection exists and can transcend race and species!!!!!
i am not cut out for this says grace
we can be not cut out together!!! says the world
beat returns as a gradual crescendo
if you care to notice, it's not even
one line lasts a measure, and there's eight measures of "i got soul, but i'm not a soldier"
there's two left at the end that aren't accounted for in a 4-measure phrase
the first of the two begins the next phrase
the second continues to draw and drag out
beat returns in the first and takes the lead in the drag after the second
the beat's return is what brings it back to the next and final chorus
might as well take your ineptitude and run with it because your ineptitude is what keeps you human
your faults and your lies and your fakes and your inconsistencies are what make you real
you are your own checks and balances
with the help of you friendly neighboring eridian we can achieve great things
this is all we need!!!
this is all we have!!!
we have all the time in the universe to figure this out yet we have to do things in such a constrained amount of time or fuck all else
30 years until the sun dies and such a limited amount of time until rocky's ship desintigrates
we have the truth, the answers, and the process to save our suns and stars
this is gettting kinda corny almost like it wasn't corny to begin with!!!!!!!
we know who we are!!! we have woken up from amnesia!!!!
we can do this!!!!!!
we have the love to motivate us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love you rocky
i love you grace
i love you earth
i love you erid
when movies do that parallelism thing where the events of the beginning of the movie mirror the end of the movie post-climax to describe the similarities and differences in the start and finish
agh i'm the same but a process has occurred
"over and in, last call for sin"
final stretch
we got this!!!! we made it!!!!
"while everyone's lost, the battle is won"
i knew we could do it
i knew you could do it says eva stratt
i knew you could do it says the world
i knew you could do it says erid
i knew you could do it says earth
i knew you could do it says rocky
i knew you could do it says ryland grace
"with all these things that i've done"
title card
he said it!!!!!!!!!!! he said the thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
