All About Me!

Uh, hi!

My names Anzo or Booker, no preference on what you call me, my pronouns are they/he/book/ze and I’m 21 years of age! I am also an autistic ADHD haver with mobility/joint issues.

I’m a cosplayer, artist, writer and student studying forestry, entomology, and music. I’ve been cosplaying for around nine years at this point and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

This blog will some of that, as well as various ramblings about my original characters and sharing cool fandom stuff I’ve found on the site!

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.

albino plants are basically vampires.

For a long time, scientists thought they were parasites, and couldn’t figure out why the bigger plants didn’t release chemicals to kill them.

Turns out, the lil’ ghost redwoods benefit their hosts by filtering toxins and acting as a sort of backup immune system.

They’re vampires, and they’re commensal, symbiotic mutualists!

this is super cool! I had no idea

This is among the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

we’ve already discovered forests where trees share nutrients with young or disadvantaged trees and forests where trees can ask their neighbors for some extra food (they literally send a signal requesting aid, via the web of fungus that connects their roots) and forests where surrounding tees will keep a tree alive even when it has been reduced to a stump through some tragedy…

so, while i love the playfulness of “vampire” and i commend the specificity of “commensal, symbiotic mutualists” i think it’s worth considering, at this point, if “member of the community” might not be at least as apt

Miscellaneous Medic Headcanons

In No Particular Order

  • Was put in his school’s music program when he was little and absolutely hated it at first, but eventually it grew on him. He made it his mission to play all the weird instruments. He’s proficient in Violin, Tuba, French Horn, Bassoon, and Oboe. He also learned some Stand Up Bass, Clarinet and Viola.
  • Archimedes and the rest of the doves/pigeons are descendants of carrier pigeons from WW2. Medic adopted two bonded pairs at the end of war and kept them as pets. Part of the reason he keeps them is to keep the legacy of wartime carrier pigeons alive.
  • This man uses lab glassware as water glasses and plays Russian roulette with weather or not it’s actually water. He’s accidentally drank various poisonous chemicals more often than he’d like to admit, but he also refuses to label his glassware.
  • 100% PDA or none at all, there’s no in between, and it’s on his terms.
  • Enjoys listening to others as much as talking. He may not understand what you’re talking about, but if you’re excited about it, he’ll be too.
  • Pays special attention to things you show interest in when you’re out so that he can come back to get them for you later.
  • Has records upon records of 50’s big band jazz. He has attempted to teach some of the mercs how to dance with varying degrees of success.
  • Actually knows how to cook and occasionally will make some of his family recipes for the team.
  • Very detail oriented. He tends to notice small changes in the people around him, but usually chooses not to point them out for fear of embarrassing the person or pointing out something that should’ve been left alone.
  • Unintentionally blunt 90% the time. He doesn’t mean to be rude or mean, so he gets confused when people point it out.

That’s all I’ve got for now.

TF2 needs an exclusive "Heavy!" call for Medic. Where did my Heavy go. You are giant and loud but I cannot find you. I hear gunfire but see no smoke. I am a lost little german boy in a cave full of Enemie Teamen who want to murdern die Mediken gott hilf mir

As a Medic main, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

I get so giddy over Heavy’s lines about Medic after healing, this would absolutely complete me.

The Team Fortress 2 Cosplay meetup at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2023!

This year's meetup was absolutely AMAZING. We had a total of 26 people come to the meetup, blowing last year's record of 12 people out of the water! We have yet to pass Salt Lake City Comic Con 2022's record of 37 people. But next year, I hope we can have an even bigger meetup! Although, we definitely need to find a new spot not in the way of everything. I apologize to the Phoenix Convention Center security staff for our massive inconvenience.

This year, we had two totally new characters join the meetup! We finally have a Ms. Pauling and Saxton Hale!

And our Saxton Hale was just as strong as the Australian fella himself...

And of course, the video where I told everyone "You already know the answer to this one!"

[Me, Scout: "Is TF2 dead?"

Crowd: "No!"

Me, Scout: "Are we gonna keep going?"

Crowd: "Yeah!"]

I recognize some of these people from Game On Expo!! I recognize the Red Pyro, the Red Heavy and the Scout with the gray hat! If anyone knows their socials, please let me know!!

I wish I could’ve been there!
