Tucker Rvb - Tumblr Posts
so I’ve been posting all of my RvB sketch dumps on my DA but I thought I’d share my shit w/ y’all bc I’m real proud of ‘em lmao
I don’t know how tumblr formatting is gonna butcher the quality but if you can’t read it just open the image in a new tab!
Blue Team is definitely my most favorite ones to draw, and after binge watching the series twice in two weeks I’m honestly??? So Proud?? of Washington??? He goes through so much shit! Likewise with The Church family, they make me so fucking sad man :(!!
Idk what to say cause like. To me, Simmons and Donut are trans. Caboose is genderfluid. Doc is nonbinary. Kai is intersex. And locus is agender
RED VS BLUE FANS!
I was thinking about trans hcs in the rvb fandom, tiering the levels of average to bonkers and the popularity of each character being trans in my brain, but i don't know if my opinions are universal
Rb for sample size and, if you feel like it, drop everyone you hc as trans in the tags!
a humble request for kai and tex cuddlepile if it please thee 🙏
i have a feeling this is gonna be a really long image ..
the og badass herself amen !!
Red Vs. Blue face headcanons! Since y'all wanted em out before Season 19 dropped!
In defense of Simmons not being a red haired twink: big buff DnD and science nerd.
And some extra notes under the cut:
You can take all these with a silly grain of salt, I'm not a long-time RvB fandom frequenter but did like some bits.
Simmons: Dutch-Irish but keeps getting called 'of a Latino persuasion' by Grif. Also funnily uses 'cracker'. (so mixed.) Cybernetics built from the same sort of stuff Lopez is made out of, visibly running down the left of his face, neck, ribcage, and arm. His arm worked the best for Grif because they're around the same height.
Grif: Too lazy to cut much of his hair, but it's necessary when his helmet doesn't properly secure. Also, a beard is beneficial for catching some little save-for-later snacks. Carving started out as a fidgeting task if he somehow couldn't sleep.
Donut: Just barely hits the twunk allegations in comparison as the lankiest out of a group of fat and buff guys, somehow more durable than all of them despite it and is still above average in build. Started really trying to compensate for his image because of his scar, which developed into really being able to love himself.
Sarge: LOVES his sergeant stripes. Don't tell him but his eyes might be blue. He will say they're grey, though. Don't ask about the bullet hole in his head, either. It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, just that he'll probably go on a rant about Grif.
Church: Rest in piss Jimmy. Church doesn't naturally feel sleepy though, not like he has this body for long. The scar on his neck was smooth enough to not raise any alarm, and a lack of sleep may have hindered his fight-or-flight reflexes while he still lived...
Tucker: A few scars from his alien encounter, a glimmer in his eyes a slight indication of his connection with the blade-key along with the visor changes. Poor guy couldn't grow his hair long because of the helmet.
Caboose: Most head trauma of anyone ever, injuries hidden by his thick curly hair. Sure doesn't keep him down! It may contribute to a loop of him losing teeth and continuing to worry about the tooth fairy being mad at him, though.
Update! I DID IT! :D
Fun fact! I haven’t seen sailor moon, so this was me grabbing a reference of all the sailors and then going “these two have similar colour pallets/vibes” and rolling with it, so I hope it turned out okay, I have no reasonable explanation to why their in this scenario except for “I thought it’d be cool and I said so” so hope y’all like it :]
May or may not have decided to draw all of blue team as the sailors from sailor moon... whoops :/
redrew an old peice today! (on accident)
made this bc I had just watched s18 and was positively miffed at what they did to my blorbos, drew the poses and then realised I was redrawing a piece from august last year (which is under the cut), very proud of how the armour turned out, first time using colouring pencils on a sketch, details turned out a lil fuzzy so I recomend zooming in on parts lol, but apart from that I'm really proud of this, especailly comparing it to the old one, I've made a lot of progress :]
(also as much as I still love this piece, I do now look at it and cringe at bits, mostly how the colours are and how they blend into the lineart lol)
Sure! I Haven't posted about them in a while but I miss them too so I'll just leave one here.
I hc Tucker as autistic and so obv the same applies to Junior, and I think they bounce vocal stims off the other while around the house, references or lyrics from songs or movies they both like especially, (mostly stuff that Tucker raised Junior on, i.e Ninja Sex Party songs, quotes from Resivour Dogs, there's probably some Bluey in there let's be real) and if one of the Reds and Blues is hanging around with both of them, they can both be set off at once, normally in unison, even if their in separate rooms. (I can't think of an example rn but I'm sure u get the picture)
Idk if this is anything but knowing that Junior also uses Bow Chicka Bow Wow in the show makes me think he also would have picked up other phrases and bits from Tucker lol.
can the people share their tucker + junior headcanons please i miss them
Haven't mentioned it much on here but I'm currently down in the south island ( I live in nz/aoteroa and am based up north) and the rvb brain rot had contuied into my travels so here's some totally not edited photos from blood gulch and sidewinder (Lake Tekapo)
(Also dont mind how short I look in the snow, I'm not the tallest of people and we were trying to get the mountains in the back lol)
Tucker's a big Halloween fan.
Back when he was a kid, he liked the candy and staying up late.
In college, he'd go to the most amazing bonfires and house parties. The whole nine yards.
In blood gulch, scaring Church and Caboose was always a bonus. VIC shipped in costumes and fabrics, so he got pretty good at tailoring.
He started to love going with Junior and seeing people ooh and ahh at his "costume".
Post-canon, he helps Kimball plan Halloween balls and the cadets go trick or treating because they've never done it before. (Sarge gives out the biggest candy bars, Simmons hands out apples.)
Okay, bit of a long one that went from headcannon to a fic snippet as I wrote it but whatever.
So, it's a pretty common and cannon supported (from what i recall) take that Tuckington as a pairing can read eachother like picture books, they know eachothers tics, are really good at spotting them, etc.
However, I find it to be best (and very funny mostly) if taken to the hardest extreme, to the point where their weird silent communication but just looks like straight telepathy from the outside.
I like to envison this happening on Chorus because I think it would happen alot at practice and stuff, and the luitenants would be the most weirded out by it, (unlike the other Reds and Blues because honestly they're used to it), usally going something like this:
(Ps, they're all out of armour for the sake of this scenario, just dont worry about it)
Wash is watching over practice, or rather he's supposed to be, his gaze instead catching on Tucker, maybe even tracking a little further down the aqua soilders torso than it really should as he stretches, preparing for his first lap.
Tucker glances over his shoulder mid stretch, barely catching the slight shift in the height of Wash's eyeline.
Tucker's left eye twitches, and his brows pinch slightly, ("Were you just?")
Wash's eyes widen just barely, relaxing away from his usual glare at training, and it's only for a half a second---
Tuckers already grinning, ("oh you so were.")and Wash's expression snaps back, attempting to hide the small panic of being caught as fast as possible. "I was not!"
"Yeah right! My eyes are up here, Wash!" Tucker called back, the rest of the training hall pausing to look between the two like a tennis match.
"I'll make you run laps." Wash threatened in one last ditch effort.
"What? So you can get a better view!?" Tucker mocked, standing up and already making a start on said laps.
Wash restrained a groan down to a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose tightly as he willed his face not to go red.
"Uh, sir?" Palomo questioned, suddenly beside him.
"Yes Palomo?" Wash replied, not looking up.
"What the fuck was that?" He followed up, and Wash finally glanced up to find almost the entire stadium staring at him with a confused look, all except for Tucker, who was happily running his laps around the gym.
Fuck.
Just saw @slyvester101's water park au post, and a, that's fucking brilliant, I love it, and b, seeing the love of the silly au ideas for the skittle soldiers reminded me of a zoo keeper au idea I had a little while ago, so here's that.
The idea mainly focused on Wash and Tucker, because what else do I write about, so I'll talk about them and what they're jobs are as keepers first. (also not all of the reds and blues are here, so feel free to come up with where you think they'd be)
-Tucker is their resident "Shit nobody wants to go anywhere near guy", primarily working with the big cats, and the few snakes they have there. He lives for working up the crowds during any feeding times or exhibitions, and has gained a bit of a reputation for it, turning into a slight attraction for the park.
-Wash sticks to the calmer side of the park, or at least as calm as it can get where they all work, usually found in Avery whistling back to the birds, or in their marine enclosures. However, he's one of the most researched at the park, and gets called in as a pseudo announcer for a lot of the parks shows, mainly Tucker's, which is where the real attraction for the crowd lies.
Wash makes little comments and jokes at Tucker during his shows, i.e "this strategy your seeing here is similar to Tucker's own mating efforts, which is to say ineffective," and other things along those lines, and Tucker usually flirts at him in response over their mics to get a rise out of him, which is really what the park goers come to see.
-Kai works at all of the interactive enclosures, mainly the small petting zoo area, and the tortoise exhibit where park goers can feed them and pat their shelves if the tortoises decide to come closer enough. Usually Tucker's not far behind her either, visiting her to gossip and bitch between shows.
-Carolina works in the antarctic section, polar bears, emperor penguins, a few specific kinds of seals, etc, her and Wash end up working together on a few enclosures so they spend a lot of time together, and as much as they claim not to, they gossip just as much as everyone else.
-Grif works at the sloth and lizard enclosures, and he will be damned if he has to be anywhere else, which has nothing to do with the fact that it's right next to where Simmons works at the monkey and orangutan enclosures, and Simmons loves talking to people about how intelligent they are to anyone who will listen, which is usually Grif.
-the squad leaders are frequent park goers, who are kind of hoping for a job there at some point, which all of the current crew claim to hate the idea of, but they've been subtly mentoring all of them with the skills and things they'll need to know to get hired.
-Kimball is the one managing this whole god forsaken place, don't ask about her, she's got enough going on as it is.
Thinking about the duo we were robbed of
I think by the end of Tuckers arch they’d be the ultimate duo of making fun of church, also they’re my two favourite characters therefore they must be friends lol (ps like two seconds after this theoretically takes place they get into a scrap fight)
Every Tuckington pic has Wash carrying Tuckbutt around let’s swap it up he didn’t get all those muscles for nuthin
ok two posts in one day, but I'm back on my bs so who cares. I've been thinking a lot about Tuckington as husbands, mostly all of the domestic shenanigans and the dynamics of it, so here's some of that:
-I think during retirement they'd start gaming together a lot, Tucker leans towards action titles and shooters and Wash while okay with those games, and actually pretty good at them, usually prefers cozy games and life simulators (animal crossing, stardew valley, etc), so they usually find a balance by playing RPG's together, with the occasional horror game when Tucker can convince Wash (also they have a shared minecraft world with like, 300 hours on it collectively).
-Related to this, Tucker 100% manages to get Wash to fall for dumb puns and those bad "ligma" jokes due to Wash not experiencing them very often thanks to spending most of his 20's in the military/project freelancer rather than like, college or something, and Tucker revels in it because it's the most he's ever been able to pull them off, and they usually go something like this:
Tucker (playing through a game on the couch with Wash on the other controller, exploring a new area) : Oh hey, there's some up-dog in here.
Wash (following behind Tucker's character, entirely genuine): What's up-dog?
Tucker (with the most shit eating grin imaginable): Nothing much man, what's up with you?
Wash: *actively opening the options menu to punch Tucker's character in the face*

Anyway, they're very big collective dorks to me once their married, something something they match each others freak/bring out the nerd in each other, I might write this eventually. (lying)
