Fun Fact: Tina is jealous of Ava being a Siren. I accidentally found out, when I was AFK in Boom Town, and Tina was ranting to herself. “What. So another adorable unstable teen with a dark past shows up, and she gets Siren powers IMMEDIATELY?! This is bullcrap.”

It's kinda chilling how in that ECHO just after Tina's parents die she switches between hysterical sobbing and maniacal laughter

*Tiny Tina’s Assault On Dragon Keep* Tina: “Hello ?” Mr Torgue: “TINA, PUT ME IN THE GAME NOW !!!” Gets me every time 😂😂😂

Ashley Burch did such a great job with Tina. Especially the part where she switches between crying and laughing psychotically.

"first off, you definitely AIN'T gettin married and second where's my invitation?" love that part

"There is not a clear resolution regarding Enrique" *Enrique proceeds to go through the ground* Looks canon enough to me

I legit cried when I saw the picture of Tina and Roland In 3 at Roland’s rest

Honestly Tiny Tina’s story just straight up makes me cry

My favorite character in the series. Literally gave a whole new meaning to, "badonkadonks."

I've gotta say it. The end of Assault on Dragon Keep, when Tina finally says goodbye to Roland, is by FAR the most gut wrenching moment in the entire Borderlands saga.

Mordecai and Brick acting as mother and father. Me: visible confusion

Tiny Tina was born to normal and loving parents. Me: looks at Tina and all of Pandora ME: Define normal?

tiny tina is one of the best developed characters in the borderland series

Why didn't we get that wedding as a sidequest? Would have been so much fun

I love how the catalyst of her salvation mixed with the trauma of how her parents died to define much of her later personality with constant movement and an obsession with explosives. The grenade is what saved her life, a gift from her mother to spare her the fate of her parents. The explosion signified a path to freedom. In this way, I believe her mind fundamentally connected explosions with creating safety or safe passage from danger and an escape from pain and trauma. Even though Tina is 19 or 20 now, I do hope she has a good relationship with her surrogate parent figures Brick and Mordecai and possibly gets a legitimate job at Torgue designing new explosions/explosives. Maybe a future DLC will involve her in a bigger way, alongside the rest of the B Team.

"Rolands dead thank you for telling me" and then raid shadow legends popped up

ive never heard that audio for tina escaping, that legit sent shivers down my spine

I actually kinda cried when the og Vault hunters made her accept that roland was dead and then proceeded to comfort her in the solace of her game.

5:22 This is one pf the saddest pieces of dialogue ever created, a manic happy go lucky 13 year old bomber that only ever got a little emotional after avenging her parents, becomes so soft spoken, almost calm, before breaking down in soft tears.

The lack of information on what the hell happened to Butt Stallion in BL3 is quite infuriating.

It’s a shame her brick and Mordecai are pretty much never used or expanded upon in BL3

"All around the stactus plant, the stalker chased the bandit, the stalker thought t'was all in fun *POP* goes the bandit!"

*That echo when her mother died it sounded like laughing like a psycho*

Tina's wedding, man, I wish there was a cutscene for that crazy event.

That "I'm a dragon, you hear? caw, caw bitch! I can fly!" part always makes me laugh.

There's something to be said about her dating psychos as well. She described her first two relationships as fairly normal but ending in some kind of tragedy. And we already know she has trouble coping with loss, her personality is toned down but still quite erratic. Perhaps she dates the more disposable psychos to get her rocks off and have some sort of romantic companionship but at an arm's length. Hell, she murders the ones that show up to her wedding showcasing just how disposable they are. Just a thought. This game goes places. Just wish they'd treat their employees better.

I just love how at 6:35 the narrator is just so calm telling Tina’s backstory as Enrique just becomes one with the sand

Could you imagine the outrage if they killed Tiny Tina? Especially if they did her dirty like Maya and Ava tries to take her place lol

Tina's realization of Roland's death is the best dialogue in the whole game.

It's unsettling how close Tina baby talking to her pet resembles me talking to my cat 😂😂😂

Worth mentioning too, there is an echo log on Pandora where she also interacts with Krieg, asking him how to "speak psycho". Its kinda cute actually

It's a minor thing but you left off her attachment to Kreig. She gets lessons on how to behave like a psycho so she can go to a bandit party. The very fact that she's first called "Crunk Bunny" when you meet her in the third game says volumes about she sees herself. You ought to do one of these on Kreig. It would be short but including some analysis of PTSD and Dissociative Identity Disorder and you have something. My theory is that he was experimented on by Atlas or Dahl as the child of someone, possibly even Hyperion. We know psychos are mutated but this is a rarity: A psycho with an inner monologue and a heart. Maybe even a read on what him learning of Maya's fate could do to his progress. Just a thought. Loved this video.

normal people at 4am: *sleep* me at 4am: *The History of Tiny Tina - Borderlands*

Got to admit, I was a little annoyed at how heavily BL3 used Tina in their advertising only for her not to be playable and hardly in the story...

"Brick and Mordecai continued to act as her mother and father figures" Respectively.

Man, between all the grotesque and maniacal humor (that I love) borderlands offers, there's sometimes just downright sad moments. Tina probably has the most depressing backstory, alongside Krieg.

I still cry at the end of Tina’s dlc

In tiny Tina’s wonderlands, Roland introduced her to bunkers and badasses. During her first session,she made her character known as the dragon knight. During that session,they found a tower full of bad guys, despite being warned by Roland of the consequences, Tina had her character kill everyone. Upon knowing that this made her character evil but she got mad and never played it, until the events of dragon keep

Tina switching from hysterical crying to maniacal laughter is pretty chilling. The scene of her hugging Roland’s statue honestly made me cry

I love Tiny Tina, by far my favorite character with definitely the most character development just sneakily thrown into this shlooter, yet I never realized how tragic her back story was... Personally that just makes her so much better. 😭🤧

She should be playable if they make another sequel. I can see a lot of explosive based skills and explosive weapon perks.

You know there's gonna be that one person that says "tHeY cOpIeD hEr fRoM fOrtNiTe

When Tinas mom screamed for her to run i got chills

That last bit with the whole wedding thing kinda makes me want to play borderlands 3

Oh my god. Hearing her mentality break a second time after roland dies shattered my heart

“The stalker Chased The bandit The stalker that It all in Fun POP! Goes The Bandit” -Tiny Tina

holy fuck, "I KNOW!" is still one of the most heart crushing moments in any game I've played. You can feel her denial getting more and more desperate in the hour leading up to it, and the moment where it all comes crashing down, makes me choke up every time, no matter how many times I play it. perfect story telling.

2:22 The most gut wrenching thing I've heard from Borderlands.

"Tina officially says goodbye to Roland"... THEN CLAP TRAP RUINS EVERYTHING!!! 🤣🤣🤣

After playing the DLC in 2 i felt that moment with Tina accepting his death but also how the others told her "hey it's ok we didn't mean to bring down the game tell us how the story ends" truly a bond they all share together

God I love how Tina’s VA grows as a person AND in skill over time! Best character!

“Only real badasses eat cookies!” man i love her so much 😂💗

I always shiver when Tina's voice go low...

Brick is one of the best characters in borderlands

I’m not the only one who starts tearing up whenever talking about Tina cause her character is so sad

Tina coming to terms with Roland's death still gets me. Ashley did a great job acting, and the character development was done so well that it still gets me to tear up.

I think we all need to give tiny tina a hug

So we not gonna talk about the “Sex Olimpics of Eroticon 5”?

6:55 i cant believe they actually made a reference to Dungeons & Dragons lmao. love that game so much

It's kinda weird when she's baby talking Enrique the fourth and us looking at you the whole time

The background instrumentals (from Erased and Violet Evergarden) make her story all the more tragic.

Everytime i play Borderland 2, it mostly just for either Krieg and Maya's scenes together as they are a happy psycho couple. And for Tiny Tina's entire character arc of going over Roland's death. It entirely feels like something that couldve been done without, but just makes 2 all the better

(loud unmanly sobbing noises) That wedding though..

In my school vr game, she secretly gave Goalius 2 RYNO 5s (RYNO is an acronym for rip you a new one), and this is the kindest moment by far like she did kissed Goalius on the lips and told him good luck and that's it she still in the game sometimes watching the fights

Tiny Tina, my all time favorite character in Borderlands.

I didn't like how she was hardly in BL3 and when she was it just wasn't the same.

Voice actress for Tiny Tina 10/10, amazing character

I loved Tiny Tina in bl2, especially during her dlc, but I don't like her in bl3. She looks like a crackhead and doesn't bring the same type of Tina energy(?) I can't really explain what I don't like about her now but she doesn't seem the same.

That cry to a laugh gave me a chill and it made me sooo sad 😞

I got blocked by peta for sending them pictures of meat

God, that scene with her yelling that she knows that Roland is gone, the fact that she's clinging to his memory and trying to keep him alive in some way... Also, I was sobbing when White Knight Roland was saved by Bloodwing. My heart 😭😭😭

Watching Tina fall to her knees and finally admitting to herself Roland is gone hit hard.

5:23 I have never been moved so much by any game dialogue ever

I feel bad for tiny Tina

Ava's Developmental Potental: D Tiny Tina's Developmental Potental: A

Its just a random audio log but the entries of Tinas parents make me cry everytime So do the logs about Jack and his Angel The story of the games might not be as deep or coherent as other games, but the world building is spot on!

I've been through Borderlands 3 several times now, never saw anything about Tina's wedding.

Finally, a video about the BEST Borderlands character. Don't @me

One of the biggest changes i noticed between 2 and 3 is that her eyes shrunk. Probably why so many dislike her now. Big eyes imply innocence and tends to make people feel sympathy. This is subconscious most of the time, but think of a puppy. Thoes big sad eyes allways make you feel sad.

Thank you for these history/lore videos. It means alot that you put in the effort to research all the lore, then make it into a nice digestable video.

Not gonna lie, I felt a piece of my soul die listening to her backstory, all for you Tina...

Nice vid I'd really like to see Sir Hammerlock covered

For goodness sake, I scrolled down a bit to make sure I wasn't restating something that a bunch of people had commented, but the actual heart-wrenching cries of young Tina at roughly 2:18 had to make someone besides me feel real pain in their heart... (like literally to the point of tears)!?! Those sounds aren't just cries of someone experiencing sadness. It sounds like the true/genuine full body sobs of someone who has lost everything and is so scared, alone, and lost that cry/screaming is the only outlet. Ashley Burch is a Goddess even if people still blame her for Molly's death! (Subtle nerd wink)

That part of the wedding where references Her Character Orendi from Battleborn

Tina's breakdown gets me every time. I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!

before the video:" what story does she have she was a throwaway comic relief" after: "ha ha emotions go CRY"

Tiny Tina is one of my favorite videogame character and I never knew about her story. Thanks for this video!

Your history lessons upon individuals in borderlands are always the best! Thanks for the great content

Damn, i was really hopin' for that stand mixer.. Goddamnit Brick xDDD

"POP! Goes the bandit."

Easily one of the most compelling and endearing characters in the franchise.

I’m crying every time the confrontation of Roland’s death faces Tina.

8:24 who cried

So you want to hear a story huh. One about an arms dealer knwon for never accepting refunds.

Hey man, great work on these videos. Ive been playing borderlands since 2009 yet theres so much I dont know. Thanks for this.

Enrique the Scagg did in fact have a very clear cannon resolution, as he technically makes an appearance in three and is still her pet

I could listen to ashley burch as tina all day if posible.

I love fangs videos so much hes makes the best borderlands videos. He actually inspired me to make my own videos and I'm going to be a KZfaqr too! I think I'm gonna do a bl2 maya playthrough non my channel some time

To this day shed a tear when she said "I know, but it's my story" at the end of the DLC

Tiny Tina is one of my favorite characters of the series. Thank you for this video.
