Important speech from the Whitehouse, (Real) (not fake)
Since TK vs DW vs CBS is somewhat trending after 9 years I would like to say that in hopes that maybe if we all come together as a dying fandom that maybe just maybe, we can bring it back and not for our happiness, but for the sake of all mankind and those poor,poor, edgy goth kids that need 2 priest serial killers for moral support. I have just spoke to the White House about and they said it would be pretty rad if we had a episode 5 and if the world is old enough to see it, a episode 6. May our prayers go the loss of all of those that have stopped to continue the journey of this small community of tf2 freaks. May our hearts go those returning home from those other fandoms. May we as a community seek pride as a independent and industry of mannkind. Thank you and goodnight worldwide.
another gravity falls animation! :3 hope yall enjoy!

One final goodbye
Do you think there in the same universe?
This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.
Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.
Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.
As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.
His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.
Chuffed has a waiting period for processing and transferring funds. If you want your donation to IMMEDIATELY be sent to Hammad, paypal is linked below.
Hey all. I know it must be weird to see me posting after basically abandoning the blog, but I have yet another update for y'all.
I've scrapped the majority of The Gravestone Saga. Save for TDCoGM itself and GftF, I have no more interest in Freak Fortress and can't bring myself to care anymore.
As a result, both TDCoGM and GftF will be heavily revamped to be completely original: no references to Freak Fortress or TF2 whatsoever. They will be their own duology with an original cast of characters.
Because of this change - which will be carried out sometime in the future - this blog will either be completely canned or will be entirely repurposed for something else. While I have no plans for the future of this blog, I may repurpose it for Babs and Baubles, a pokemon fanwork I've slowly been chipping away at for years.
I am very sorry to my followers who came here for Freak Fortress content, but I do not have any passion for FF anymore. If you still want to experience my old Freak Fortress work if and when this blog undergoes maintenance, everything is still available on my DA account.
A lot of the time, I'm sure many have come across comments like this:
"Fem fortress but they all look the same, just with boobs"
"Fem scout would never wear a skirt! It's impractical!"
To be honest, I think these kinds of comments come off as mysogynistic, because it is still policing what women wear. The tf2 mercs can wear silly cosmetics, many of which are even less practical, but when femscout wears a skirt or fem engie has a beehive and makeup, it's considered impractical because woman. I feel like the tf2 fandom has a problem with a lot of fem merc designs that arent masc. In general, masculinity is praised in society while feminity is disliked. Its why conservatives throw a hissy fit when a man wears a dress. This most likely comes from the idea that any display of feminity is seen as weak. Fem engineer builds stuff and does masc things, so she has to be a masc woman by default. If any of the fem mercs dress feminine, it obviously for the male gaze. While this seems like it is breaking gender roles, its still perpetuating stereotypes - that feminine people cant do things like shoot guns or throw piss at people or build machines.
There is a difference, though. The fempyro mod and femscout mods are examples of a character designed for the male gaze, as I believe the mods were made by men, are mostly used by men, and are in a game that is mostly played by men. They don't take into account what women wore during tf2s time, instead just slap a bow onto scouts hat or put pyro into some catsuit despite pyros gender being a mystery. But dressing feminine doesnt always mean its for the male gaze. Many women dress feminine for themselves. A lot of the tf2 fem concept art is an example of how you can make feminine women while still keeping them unique and not male gaze-y
Another complaint I have is many fem fortress designs look so modernized. For example, the fanon femscout design looks like someone you'd see jogging at the gym in 2025, not like a sporty girl from 1968.
Back then, ponytails were more formal I think. Ive seen ponytails in makeup ads and things from the time but not in sports photos. So fem scout would most likely have short, bobbed hair. It just annoys me to hell and back when I see people reject research and creativity just to use the same cookie cutter fem scout design because shes "hot."
Of course, I have no problem with fem fortress designs that are masc! My fem sniper is a butch. But remember, masc women didn't dress the same way they do in 2020! Even women wearing pants outside of manual labor jobs at the time was considered very masculine. The 60s spy theme is what makes tf2 stand out and the fanon fem fortress dont have the same charm.
Tldr; Fem mercs can wear a skirt, saying they can't is still policing what women wear. Hyper feminine and hyper masculine women are both looked down upon. Also fem fortress artists should have more fun with the time period.
If you want more info about how society demonzies both hyper femme and hyper masc women, I reccommend this video https://youtu.be/qGx0zh2QsPI?si=Pyl9ThTdv9JAF3Ql
