I think I'm ready to call this done, mid-October seemed like a good deadline for a Halloween comic.
Specifically, this one is focused on the 1800's crew, so a brief summary for those unfamiliar:
Tumblr media
contents includes alcohol, violence, body horror and death, and some implied child neglect I suppose. Mostly within the bounds of what's typical for TF2... mostly.
I would like to thank everyone who gave me feedback, schnozzbun-art for help editing and Nominel for his astute observations.
I feel it would also be amiss not to mention themannfamily who's writings have been a huge source of inspiration, I don't think I would conceive of Silas the way I do if not for them
so without further ado...

Hidden illustration of the original Mann Co. lineup, including Silas Mann, who became the Horseless Headless Horsemann upon his death, on the right, from the first Scream Fortress Update in 2010 (the portion on the left was originally included in the first Halloween update in 2009)

Personally I think Merasmus keeps up with Mann family drama like its a weird sitcom, and now he's hosting the reunion episode!

Conceptualising! Plotting! Theorising!
What if in Tf2 comic 7 Olivia summons the Horseless Headless Horseman? I'm pretty sure HHH was supposed to protect the Manns and she is like. The last one left. So.
Helen's debt has sOMETHING to do with the Darling-Mann connection (Redmond, Blutarch and Gray's mother, Bette, was a Darling, as shown on their birth cert), I swear.
My favourite connection theory is "Bette had an affair (cough cough Barnabus was the only one to mourn her cough they totally did it cough cough) and Charles was the result of that", which would make Charles technically a Mann and technically eligible to inherit Mann Co.
He would have no qualms on JAGUAR ATTACKing Olivia and this is where my favourite boy HHH comes in FIGHT TO THE DEATH OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!
Meanwhile the mercs are having a kickass party to celebrate the events of comics 1-6. Heavy and Medic are making out sloppy style in one corner. Soldier and Zhanna are doing the same in another. Scout's Ma is here and both Spy and Pauling (she deserves a positive interaction with another woman damnit!!) are frothing at the mouth. Scout is doing the Shinji pose.
Dell is haunted by visions (Fred is alive probably). Pyro will not let go of him. Everyone who hasn't died yet gets to, as a little treat. Probably because of the aforementioned jaguars.
Cmedic shows up because that is a whole thing that hasn't been referenced yet. Maybe he is Charles. That would be deranged idk why I typed that. Saxton and Mags are making out in yet another corner.
Chell and Gordon show up. Gman says some shit like wake up and smell the jarate mister freeman and they all get jarated and Kleiners stupid teleporter brings them back.
The comic ends with HHH adopting Olivia because they both deserve nice things. They bond over a shared enjoyment of Running A Business. Merasmus shows up for three seconds to yell at Soldier for killing the beatles or some shit. I personally hit Gaben in the face. The end.

And we are back with the tf2 art, this time feat Harold and Silas a.k.a the headless horseless horsemann.
If Paul is chasing after old Nick, his pal Hal chases after Merasmus, the mann twins and the others. i got inspired by @dinoburger 's silas mann fanart.
as usual, the descriptions are inside the pics.
enjoy!.
funfact: the fairy rings thing is based on a dream i had about a frog boy telling me to enter to a fairy ring to protecte me from the headless horseman.

[to the mun] I'm incredibly curious about how you read Silas as a character since we get so little on him and you've put so much thought into the Mann family on a whole, what is he like?
The fact that there is so little information left about Silas also speaks about him as a character. In this he is very similar to Gray, only everyone tried to forget Gray, erase him from the past, whereas no one even remembered Silas.
After his death, he primarily protects the family manor (the original of which from London was exactly repeated in New Mexico), so he probably lived there with his brother's family, because he does not have his own.
At the same time, Silas seems to me distant from the family. He is not present when his nephews are born and does not appear in the comic at all. Zepheniah didn't say a word about him in his will, and this is understandable, given that Silas is older than him, but they founded a company together. Silas's opinion on this matter seems to be ignored, as if he once lost a war of primacy in the family to his brother. And it doesn't look like he was fighting at all.
In the family portrait, he is on the edge, as if he is unnecessary here. At the same time, he is the only one who looks upset about what is happening and the upcoming war of his nephews and the death of his brother.
Because of this, it seems to me that Silas is the only one who truly loves this family. And his cruel brother, because he remembers how he became like this, and his nephews, although they did not notice him, rushing only to the approval of their father. And that's why this character is so lonely.
Posthumously, he is a bloodthirsty monster and I like to think that during his lifetime he was the complete opposite: calm, melancholic, well-educated, religious, self-suppressing, gloomy, boring, and weak-willed compared to his brother. There are some Jekyll and Hyde motifs in this.
We remember that after his death, he is called the Horseless Headless Horsemann. But why is he a horseman if he was a salesman during his lifetime? Going back to the era, at that time, all the wealthy people had a horse, and it is obvious that the Manns also had because posthumously, he was wearing a rider's costume. I believe that he spent a lot of time in the company of horses because he found solace from loneliness in them. That's why they call him the horseman who lost his horse before Zepheniah's death because otherwise it wouldn't make sense.
At the same time, he is in a good relationship with Merasmus after death, which suggests that the topic of death and the supernatural is close to him (which is not surprising, given that in Victorian times it was a popular hobby). At the same time, Merasmus calls him an old friend and the question of how old is also interesting, because they could even have known each other during his lifetime. (We know that the wizard lived in Scotland for a while, so I wouldn't be surprised if he moved there from England because of the beginning of the Great Stink from the Thames. And it was because of his acquaintance with one of the Manns that he moved to their lands after a while.)
Well, the last point: how did he become headless? I am inclined to believe that he caused it himself. To be a co-owner of a weapons company when you are such a sad person who lost everything in one moment. . . this predisposes to the tendencies of premature termination of life.

Tf2 Classless Update (2009) vs Tf2 Engineer Update (2010)
Gentlemanns, I believe I have uncovered what is either a PURPOSEFUL PIECE OF CENSORY LORE or a RETCON
(If you can't tell whats going on, in the first image the Quarterly Concern is credited to Zepheniah Mann, and in the second it is credited to him and Silas Mann. In addition, the second image has a section on "domestic occurance" which is replaced with an image of a zeppelin in the first image)
Edit: actually no on second glance the domestic occurance section has been moved further down. Its a section on "remarkable advertisements" that has been cut)
