Shipyard. Shipyard. Yes, you, Shipyard. You there. I have a huge favour to ask of you. Sit tight, this is a big one.

I know you love smut. I love smut. I made a Courtesan character, of god damn course I enjoy smut. I also know that people of all ages enjoy smut, which is a totally fine thing. When I was underage I’d look at porn and stuff, kids do that, you know how it is. I can’t get up anyone’s ass about that (no pun intended).  Unfortunately, the thing about roleplaying smut is that… 

if you’re underage, it’s illegal. It’s even MORE illegal to rp smut with someone who is of age. If you are under the age of 18 and you roleplay smut with someone of age, that person can be legally prosecuted as a sex offender. Since we are on a public blogging site, where people have posted their ages, it is probably NOT wise to rp smut if you are underage. Like, at all. Since Tumblr is based in the USA, users are expected to conduct themselves within the confines of US law. 

You could be charged with something, not just your of-age partner. IIRC it is considered solicitation of a minor as an adult, which is a sex crime. Just… don’t.

I’m really not going into the technicalities here. 

If you are underage, do not RP smut. If you are underage, ESPECIALLY do not RP smut with someone of legal age.

KNOW YOUR SMUT PARTNER’S AGE. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY.

I don’t encourage this, but if you SIMPLY MUST roleplay smut and you’re underage, do it over instant message clients. Don’t do it publicly. That is just asking for trouble.

This isn’t me being a grouchy ~*~legal adult~*~, this is me trying to make sure someone doesn’t get in legal trouble for rping smut over a blogging site with a minor. 

One last time:

DON’T RP SMUT IF YOU’RE UNDERAGE. DON’T RP SMUT WITH UNDERAGE PEOPLE. PLEASE JESUS CHRIST DON’T.

I hadn’t realized just how much stuff was relevant until I wrote it! Even if you’re deeply familiar with the story, you might want to refresh on exactly what’s going on, because it is pretty huge. I dunno if anybody at all would actually want to see this, but I guess that’s what up/downvotes are for, right?

---

1822

• Zepheniah Mann’s triplet sons are born, costing the life of their mother, Bette. The names are color-themed because he’s rich and weird. One of the infants, Gray, is stolen by an eagle. The remaining sons never learned about their missing brother.

1822-1850

• Zepheniah discovers some special “Miracle Gravel” in Terra Australis. It is implied to hold some mysterious power, much like Australium does. (Fun fact: Terra Australis is where Australia got its name.)

• Zep spends his entire fortune buying land in the newly-discovered Americas, hoping to discover more gravel. Unfortunately, all he gets is some crummy sand and some nasty diseases.

• Gray resurfaces and attempts to blackmail him for the gravel, but is unsuccessful. Their encounter was likely kept a secret, as his sons continue to be unaware of their brother’s existence.

• A family portrait is taken during Zepheniah’s final days An unknown figure is currently obscured in the damaged photo.

1850: ZEPHENIAH’S WILL READING

• Zep leaves the gravel to his maidservant, Elizabeth, begging her to keep it a secret. The eldest Mann very much does not want Gray to have this stuff. He also describes Gray as a weakling, something that Australium would no doubt remedy.

• Red and Blu inherit all of Mann’s land, so that they may be doomed to bicker over who gets what.

• Barnabus Hale, Zepheniah’s friend and co-discoverer of the gravel water, inherits what is now Mann Co.

• Zepheniah requests that a pit be dug and filled with gravel in his honor. The guy really likes gravel.

1890

• Blutarch and Redmond’s war is in full swing. Blu hires a team of mercenaries claimed to be the very deadliest, yet Red manages to form an equally powerful one, locking them in an eternal stalemate.Shell companies are formed to disguise the true nature of these two groups.

• Blu, Red, and Mann Co. are all divisions of TF Industries. TFi only encourages Red and Blu’s fighting.

• Radigan Conagher is hired to make a life extender for Blutarch. Elizabeth, who greatly resembles the current Administator, asks him not to build it. When he refuses, she requests that he also build one for Redmond. She seems very invested in keeping Blu and Red fighting.

• Elizabeth claims to have been amassing Australium for a decade. She reveals that the material’s existence has been kept secret, just like the Gravel. She gives the Australium to Conagher as payment.

• A third life extender is built. Whether Elizabeth knew about this is unclear.

1900

• Mannco invents the Ro-bot

Early-1968

• The war is still going on. BLU has still a team of mercenaries refuted to be the world’s deadliest, yet RED happens to have one that perfectly equals their power. This time, however, we can see that both teams are literally the same folks in different clothes. (source being the actual game and meet the team videos)

• Mann Co, now owned by Saxton Hale, wins the bid to launch an Australium-fueled rocket for the United States Government—their bid being a single dollar. After Mann Co recieves the Australium, someone secretly replaces it with gravel water. Both the Administrator and Hale are aware of the switch.

• The launch is botched. The rocket, and the water inside, crashes into some building. This was not part of the plan. A senate hearing is formed.

Mid-1968

• The Blue Engineer finds Radigan Conagher’s map of Australium Caches.

• At the senate hearing, Hale attempts to cover up the switcheroo. He fails miserably, because he’s an idiot. A Senator Grey happens to be present for this hearing. It’s also revealed that the world’s supply of Australium is missing.

• At the same hearing, The Administrator admits the truth, which we do not learn. What we do know is that it includes her stockpiling Australium. Senator Grey is as shocked and terrified by the revelation as everyone else. The hearing ends, and Hale and the Administrator are free to go. The transcript of these events are classified, then marked for incineration.

Late-1968 (NOW)

• Both teams discover robots resembling the mercenaries.

• (Carrier Tanks)[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Carrier_tank] mysteriously appear around the disputed land. Something is happening.

SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE

• Gray Mann appears, and well, you should probably just see for yourself.________________________________________________

note: this is complied from a bazillion different pages, so i probably made some errors or forgot things. any corrections would be greatly appreciated!

I should probably point out that Red and Blu’s unintentional partnership in defending their land through war could be called a Team Fortress.
