BadwaterVideos2009

BadwaterVideos2009 is a YouTube channel who uploads Garry's Mod Machinimas, in which the ragdolls used are shown to be alive.
==Content==
BadwaterVideos' videos consist of Machinimas involving the character Melonman, a superhero who usually has to save a red engineer from his arch nemesis, The Teethineer, a BLU engineer whose face is entirely a mouth. The Teethinner works with Dr. Metalhead, a medic with some kind of a metal ball with a red eye. 
It's shown that the ragdolls are alive, and that they've been mutilated in order to create the characters. 
The ARG follows a RED Scout as he tries to escape the player.
==Videos==
*TF2 sawmill gameplay - We see a RED Scout running around the sawmill map, in which he encounters the player. He attempts to flee, but is grabbed by the player.
*The Broken TV - A Machinima in which the BLU Heavy's TV is broken. The RED Scout from the previous video fixes it, and the video ends with the both of them laughing while watching TV.
*hl2 2009-08-15 18-17-36-64.avi - This video is from the Scout's point of view, taking place after the aforementioned The Broken TV video. He manages to free his arm and looks around. He turns to the BLU Heavy sitting next to him, who slowly shakes his head, possibly to warn the scout to not step out of line. The Heavy is then deleted by the player, who runs towards the Scout, ending the videos.
*Melonman to the Rescue - A RED Engineer is hiding behind a wall while four members of the BLU team, the BLU Scout, Demoman, Medic and Soldier, are looking for him. The titular Melonman then rescues the RED Engineer. While they're shaking hands, a BLU Scout is seen trying to crawl away in the background. The player is then seen running up to the BLU Scout possibly to delete him.
*Melonman VS The Teethineer - A RED Engineer is having some tea. The Teethineer then shows up and the Engineer calls for help, which alerts Melonman. The Teethineer is seen eating the RED Engineer's things before Melonman arrives. Melonman then punches him, but after getting on top of him, is seen to not want to punch him anymore, but is forced by the player to do so.
*Passage - The RED Scout we saw in the first 2 videos wakes up in another map next to a radio that's spouting seemingly random numbers. After getting up, he notices a passed out BLU Sniper, and afterwards a door with a white void on the other side. The radio then starts spouting a shorter string of numbers faster. After going through the door, it closes behind him.
*Dr. Metalhead Rises - The Teethineer finds the corpse of a BLU Soldier, which he then takes to the base of the titular Dr. Metalhead. The corpse is then lowered into what appears to be water. The video ends with Dr. Metalhead laughing as the camera zooms out.
*Melonman Update and Q&A Announcement - BadwaterVideos tells us that the next Melonman episode was cancelled due to technical difficulties. They then announce a Q&A and ask viewers to put questions in the comments, and end the video by thanking everyone for 10,000 subscribers.
*Questions and Answers - BadwaterVideos answers seveal questions from viewers. Towards the end, they get a question about the technical difficulties that cancelled the Melonman video. The answer is at first that some things didn't work out and that they couldn't finish it, but we then see the corpse from the previous video dragging himself across the floor in pain as he gets deleted. The answer is then changed to simply "A failure."
*How I Make GMOD Machinimas Tutorial - Due to passing 20,000 subscribers, and people asking, BadwaterVideos decides to make a tutorial on how they make Machinimas. The first thing they tell us to do is set up as many props as possible. They then go to get the characters, which they mentions that they left in Offblast. They do it by going through a door that leads to a white void, as seen in the Passage video. They say that it's good to wield them to the ground so that the characters don't wander off after filming. Afterwards, they show us how to animate, using the RED Scout, possibly the one from the previous videos, as an example. We are then taught how to build a walker so that the characters can walk. After turning around to grab Scout to test the walker, they see that the Scout is missing, and use a RED Engineer instead.
*The Teethineer Interrupts Tea Time - Melonman is seen having some tea with the RED Engineer. The Teethineer then throws a bomb near them, which Melonman kicks towards where the Teethineer is. After being blown up, the Teethineer is teleported back to Dr. Metalhead's base. Dr. Metalhead then scolds the Teethineer and tells him to go get them. The video ends with the Teethineer running off to defeat Melonman.
*Sanctuary - We see the RED Scout hiding in the white void from the player. He then goes into the Offblast map, where he is found and captured by the player. Afterwards, we see the tutorial for posing from the How I Make GMOD Machinimas Tutorial video from the Scout's point of view. While the player is distracted, the Scout escapes into the dark room, coming across a bed with a light next to it inside of said room. The video ends with the Scout laying down on the bed.
*Pyder On The Move - The Teethineer seems to have created a bazooka. While admiring it, he gets jumped by the titular Pyder (a combination of a RED and BLU Pyro). The Teethineer dodges the Pyder and tries to grab the bazooka, when the Pyder uses his web to stop the Teethineer, who then chews off the web. The Teethineer then grabs the bazooka and tries to shoot the Pyder, who jumps up and starts clinging to the wall, crawling out afterwards. The Teethineer celebrates before realising that the bomb from the bazooka is still on the ground. The video ends with the bomb blowing up.
*Discarded - The RED Scout wakes up and picks up a light next to him. He shines the light around and notices several objects scattered across. After walking around for a short amount of time he stops and looks around, noticing a wrench nearby. He picks up the wrench as the video glitches.
*Subjugate - The RED Scout is sitting at a table and takes a battery out of a digital clock. He then picks up a revolver, looks around and stands up as the video glitches once again. The Scout is then seen examining what looks to be a cardboard box, and looks up as the video glitches. He then wakes up strapped to a chair, with the player coming out of the darkness. The player uses the toolgun to break the Scout's index finger and walks off, returning while carrying a buzzsaw. They approach the Scout while spinning a buzzsaw and the video cuts to black. We then see the player standing in the darkness, who is at first looking down at the ground, but after a short period of time slowly faces the camera.
*Metalhead's Final Straw - The video zooms in to show a RED Scout sitting on a bench. The camera then changes angles and we see The Teethineer peek out from behind a doorway and look at the Scout. The video fades to Melonman sleeping in a chair with the RED Engineer in the same room. After hearing a scream, they both run out and see The Teethineer intimidating the RED Scout. Melonman then drops down and confronts The Teethineer. They both start taunting each other before the RED Scout knocks out The Teethineer using a wrench. Melonman and the RED Scout examine the now passed out Teethineer before it becomes night time. The Teethineer wakes up and sees no-one around him. He then calls Dr. Metalhead who then angrily proclaims that this can't happen, and is then seen on the roof of his base ordering an army of robots that have a similar shape to his head to go get them.
*Revelation - The video starts with several flashbacks showing how the RED Scout got to the dark room. We later see a first person perspective of someone walking out and back into the dark room on gm_construct. The person then encounters the aforementioned Scout from the previous videos who's shown to have been mutilated by the player, presumably as a punishment. In front of the mutilated scout is a gun, which the person (who seems to be another scout, judging by their hands) picks up and activates. The mutilated scout seems to want the scout to use the gun on him, which the scout does. The video then cuts to black and we hear a sound usually made when a prop in Garry's Mod is deleted, indicating that the mutilated scout was deleted.
*Punishment - The video starts with the RED Scout being spawned by the player until he gets shot with a Colt Python with video blurring and cutting to black screen. The player continues spawn and kill the RED Scout in various of ways such as crossbow, bleeding out, shotgun, falling, impalement, and burning alive. The video eventually cuts to the player telling the RED Scout how torturing is never enough and eventually Scout is getting hanged by the rope, with him turning behind him, showing dozens of dead bodies of the RED Scout and video cutting to black for the last time.
==Trivia==
*The radio in Passage is actually reciting hexadecimal code. The first sting of numbers translates to “YOU MUST HIDE,” and the second string from when Scout approaches the door says “RUN.”
*The BLU Soldier corpse in Dr. Metalhead Rises is most likely the same Soldier seen in Melonman to the Rescue, as the corpse in found in the same general direction that the Soldier flew after the explosion from Melonman’s Melon.
*The Badwater character's favorite map is Badwater.
*Other than Garry's Mod, The Badwater character's other favorite games are Portal and Left 4 Dead.
*The Badwater character's main inspiration is The GMOD Idiot Box.
*On February 17, 2022, streamer LucyLeviathanTV revealed that she was the creator of BadwaterVideos2009. She said that she revealed herself as the creator due to not wanting to leave people in the dark about when new videos were coming out.https://www.twitter.com/lucyleviathantv/status/1494120961045532678
