Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, when asked what he would do after finishing his quest of saving the queen and becoming a legend. He explains that he'd spend his fame on guns and women, and sometimes dudes.

What if Tim tried to pose as handsome jack which would piss off the virtual handsome jack but he couldn't do anything without Ryhs so he convinces Ryhs that this is a bad thing since he wants to become the next handsome jack.

Axton
I mean seriously, he would at first give Rhys a ton of grief about being Hyperion n' crap. Rhys could easily fight back about … morethe Lost Legion or the mining colonies they abandoned. Then, depending on how well you sassed him back, Axton would start hitting on Rhys (since Axton is canonical bisexual).
I don't think that'd work because it seems like everyone knows that Jack died, so for Timothy to pretend to be him everyone would immediately know that he's just a double - that being said, I'll take ANY excuse to get a Timmy cameo, so let's just roll with it! ^_^

Burch (the lead writer of 2 and TPS) was terrible at keeping canon, he'd approve of fanfiction tier nonsense just because people'd ask him on twitter.
He once said that Scarlett and Misha were friends because he once saw 2 cosplayers cosplaying as them.
It got to a point where (iirc) he said that "unless it's in the game, it's not canon" or something.
I'm really, really glad he's gone, maybe the next Borderlands writer will have enough of a backbone to not bend over backwards to femfreq idiocy, but i disgress.
I second Krieg popping up in later episodes, mostly to scare the crap out of Rhys.
Rhys: oh uhm, hi, do you know wh-
Krieg:I HAVE THE SHINIEST MEAT BICYCLE
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one place that has any conclusive documentation of all the lore (the wiki has some interesting bits a… morend pieces but is a massive pain to navigate).
And half of it comes from the weirdest places, too - like Anthony Burch's askfm, the ECHOcasts Twitter, and character AMA's.
They really make us work for it!
(Also, this thread is great for a more general overview of the lore, but it's still only the tip of the iceberg).
I hate to disappoint you, but Anthony is writing the remaining episodes of Tales.
And I personally loved his audience-inspired creation of lore... And I really, really hope the new writer will have enough of a backbone to not bend over backwards to meninist idiocy and doesn't undercut all the amazing stuff Anthony's done for representation in games - but I too digress...

Especially because prior to the reveal of Jack's AI heaps of people assumed that the Jack we kill was actually a double (and that's how they were going to bring him back) - let's just hope Timmy's acting skills have improved since TPS.
Anthony is writing the remaining episodes of Tales.
Source on that? Last i heard he was fired from Gearbox and relegated to some Hulu show after making a fool out of himself on twitter.
That being said, you seem to be under the impression i have problems against Burch putting minorities in his games, i'm not.
I liked Athena in TPS (who only popped in because him and the other writer wanted more female PCs), Axton, Moxxi, Springs and Hammerlock, i don't think there was one minority character of his i disliked, i kinda find it weird he went "inclusivity" on sexual orientations and not race, there was, like, 1 black character, introduced in bl1 (which he did not write iirc) and was also the first pc to die(kinda funny when you think about it). Not complaining really, just thinking it's kind of weird. What i do have problems with is him going "oh no i'm really sorry i let anything bad happen to a female character" when some pretentious cult leader said what happened to Angel was misogynistic or some bullshit, which is something even feminists (who, unlike aforementioned compulsive liar, probably played the damn game) said was wrong. It just shows he has only that much respect for his own writing, and that the cult he's in might end up taking precedence over writing good stuff.
I really think he's not a bad writer, just that he lets himself get influenced by things that have absolutely nothing to do with gaming and people who couldn't give two fucks about good games, and it's probably for the best he stays a bit away from the industry until this ideological nonsense dies out.
Also when a professional writer does "aducience-inspired creation of lore" he ends up writing fanfic. Not saying TPS was that bad, but it was definitely a step in that direction. Fanservice does that to things.

Let's hope that means we'll get some Borderlands 2 Jack, and not that comedy will be replaced with references and "witty" dialogue, cause he did that A LOT.

"A small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous."
Not exactly "religious" as in "deity related" but eh, close enough, still dogmatic as fuck.
And just in case your question wasn't rethorical, yes, i do believe 3rd wave feminism and the modern social justice "movements" to be basically cults.
Spoiler because OT, this is not the place to discuss these things by themselves.
Yeah, as J-Master said he confirmed it on his ask.fm (he's since said that he's also writing for the remainder of the season).
Also, he definitely wasn't fired from Gearbox. In fact, the CEO of the company has publicly said that he'll always have a job waiting for him if Rocket Jump doesn't work out/he wants to come back for whatever reason.

I wanna see them all actually...
The ones still living of course; I think I'd cry if I saw a recording or some flashback of deceased Vault Hunters... like Roland ;.;
You're still delusional if you believe feminism - ordinary people pointing out that men and women still aren't equal - is anywhere close to Scientology. That kind of belief is in itself cultish.
my comment got deleted on cascade too, it went something like "the fact that there's more culty cults does not magically make feminism not a cult", it still applies
also which equality issues are you talking about, precisely? because the loud feminism press i've seen is usually ranting about rape culture, patriarchy, wage gap, manspreading and other nonsense.
Noticed my reply got removed.

If you look past his over-the-top cheerfulness and if he can really express how he feels, the Claptrap would really be a sad, lonely and bitter character.

Thanks, I could totally ship Rhys x Axton
RHYXTON
My new OTP.
But... but... Rhyiona4lyf...
A girl can have several OTP's, can't she?
Rhyiona is the one true OTP

I think Tim would be interesting.

... I'm not sure why. But I totally support Axton on Rhys now.
Could this be the rise of a new ship...?
FUCK IT WHY NOT. RHYXTON
Not vault hunters, but I'd love to see Torque and Tiny Tina.

YES, tina! she's 18 now, I want to see how she's doing

We all need help.

Maybe Tim would pretend to be handsome jack who had faked his death. We also know he's probably desperate.
Oh yeah, that could totally work!

I think Burch mentioned in his ask.com page that he was writing SOME scenes in Tales episode 3.
CLAPTRAP!!!!

Cool, guess we'll know for sure in the next few years, when episode 3 comes out.
:laughs, then cries:
At first i read your comment as "they all gangbang Handsome Rhys"

AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE
who is sick of this picture?
The fact that there's cults more culty than feminism doesn't make feminism not a cult.
Are you a feminist? You seem upset.
I wanna see them all actually...
The ones still living of course; I think I'd cry if I saw a recording or some flashback of deceased Vault Hunters... like Roland ;.;
Lets all go out for milkshakes !
I see what you did thar~
but like for real- I had to go out and get a milkshake ...for reasons >.>
