my hands hurt i should've worked in shorter sessions
closeups and rambling under the cut
-game night initially started with a standard deck of playing cards but they kept losing them inbetween sessions and having to supplement with other things, and now the deck is an absolute abomination of playing cards, uno, yu-gi-oh, pokemon and MTG
-sniper keeps looking at spy's cards, which has made spy So determined to stop sniper from winning that they both end up losing miserably
-demo showed up midgame and only saw uno cards on the table so he figured they were playing uno, and he has yet to figure out that they aren't
-if archimedes coos at the card you played, you have to take it back and play a different card
-scout collects pokemon cards and he added the shit cards he owns to the deck
-the rules change basically every time they try to play this thing so engie stopped caring about winning and is just here for the show
-pyro usually plays too, but currently they're coloring instead
-scout won't stop rocking his chair and he Will fall over during the game
-heavy and medic were meaning to play chess tonight but they were coerced by scout to join, and they're borderline ignoring the game in favor of discussing medic's latest project
-heavy's shirt says "a woman without a penis is like an angel without wings"
i do usually consider tf2 as taking place in the 60s and use the time accordingly but i drew this over a minecraft screenshot LOL i decided to ignore that for the purposes of this
note, i have only started playing this game and engaging with this fandom for a few weeks - ive been meaning to get into it for years but i knew i would go insane when i did, and i was right! i am!
I thought it was just the texture or the lighting on his model but it never came to me that Lloyd might ACTUALLY have white/lighter STREAKS IN HIS HAIR shown in that one 'anime' animation scene???
Looking back at his hair on his model, you can't really see or tell if it's streaks in his hair,, so I could be wrong 🤔
Heres some more of human!Archimedes because i love my boy <33

HC under cut!
I feel like Archimedes would come to people just to listen to them (Esp Engi, Medic or Scout) a lot, esp when theyre infodumping about something. When he doesn't understand what a person is saying (which happens most often with Scout, because he talk really fast) he'll just listen to their voice instead, he likes to be talked to :]
Hes scared of Heavy :[ the bird part of his brain basically goes big person = predator, so he tends to stay away from him.
He sleeps in a pillow nest!! The mercs dont really have spare pillows tho, so a lot of them tend to sleep without one beause Archimedes keeps stealing them. Miss Pauling has to buy them new ones every month.
Hes around Medic all the time!! he helps out during surgeries and all that, Medic teaches him what little he knows about human inside stuffs.
Archimedes doesn't speak much (nor can he read or write), but Engi and Medic are trying to teach him english, he makes slow progress because he always ends up ripping the text book up.
Medic had to transfer some of his DNA to Archimedes when he was turning him into a human, that's why he looks a lot like him.
Archimedes also wears the same glasses and clothes, beause they just fit better (although they are a little too big for him, but that's fine, he doesn't like fitted clothes anyway)
He collects little trinkets!!! a lot of them!! Rocks, strings, sticks, toothpicks, bottlecaps, tin foil wrappers, pen caps, sometimes even keys (much to the annoyance of the mercs when they cant find the car keys. they have to keep all of them in a locked cabinet), you name it - theres a good chance he has it. The mercs had to babyproof the base once he figured out how cabinets work.
Hes also super clumsy :[ His hand-eye coordination is about that of a toddler. He keeps dropping things and he bumps in to stuff/ people constantly, everyone had to learn that he hard way when he dropped a bowl of soup on the floor at dinner :[
Him and Scout get the zoomies regularly, they run around the base constanly.
Hes actually pretty smart!! clever boy!!!
He doesn't go into battle, mostly because Medic would kill everyone if anything happened to him, also because of the non-existant hand-eye coordination. He mostly stays in the base, and hangs out with miss Pauling when she's not busy burying bodies.
