i am aware of tf2, but i've never been especially interested. your sniperscout yuri has instantly changed my mind. i'm a sniperscout yuri believer.

also your art style is really nice, in a way i can't describe well. it's like petting a short-furred cat, and the cat bumps its nose into your arm. that's what your art style feels like.

This is like🥺the best compliment I have ever received....thank you anon so much you made my day!😭💘💘💘

As an exchange...

#sniperscout yuri is everytging i have ever wished for #team fortress 2 #tf2 #team fortress 2 fanart #tf2 fanart #tf2 scout #tf2 sniper #tf2 femsniper #tf2 femscout #sniperscout #speeding bullet #fem fortress

not knocking anyone's preferences but i've noticed that it's usually the hardcore heavymedic shippers who push the medic is gay headcanon so adamantly. like, do whatever you want but i've seen some people get borderline biphobic and dare i say misogynistic about it (because how dare a woman even breathe near their precious gayboys)

Nah yeah fucken oath. I've seen it too. The only thing close to it that I've seen is people's insistence that Sniper is gay (this coming from SniperSpy shippers AND SniperScout shippers). But the ship police handling the case of Medic's Sexuality seems to largely be HeavyMedic shippers. As a bisexual man who leans gay more than straight, I think a lot of it is just people fetishising MLM and aggressively defending their gayboys. And MLM fetishisation runs rampant in fandom anyway.

Also people really dislike Zhanna because they seem to think she comes between Demo and Soldier instead of... iunno a polycule situation. I've seen some fucken heinous misogynistic takes about her.

Or they mash Pauling and Zhanna together despite Zhanna Loudly Disliking Pauling. Even if you HC Pauling as a lesbian, I don't think it speaks well that you immediately ship her with one of the only other women she spends time around when their chemistry is so bad. It's not even toxic yuri it's just Zhanna Does Not Like Pauling. I especially don't understand it when the Admin is right there. TF2 fandom afraid of old ladies apparently. Youse never seen your nan's tits have you.

sorry for cloggin up your ask box, but i don’t have an ao3 account, so i hope this will do

i love the way you write the kids, especially nikki. she’s so mature, funny and polite, makes my mouth hurt from smiling hearing her and scout talk

another thing, thank you for having the kids act normal around scout and sniper being romantic‼️ they’re not homophobic, just the usual little kid “eww kissingg”

the descriptions of panic attacks are incredibly realistic

also as someone with adhd, you wrote scout SO well. i have the inattentive type and i relate so hard, despite not being hyperactive. forgetting things that i just put in my pocket, wondering if i have my phone while literally being on it, losing your train of thought, drawing constantly, and rejection sensitive dysphoria

i hope it’s okay i’m writing you fan mail in your ask box, i don’t really read fanfic but you’ve got me hooked here. i don’t even know how i started liking sniperscout, but before i read yours i read… ah what’s the name… i forget (searched ao3, it was called “somethin’ stupid, like “i love you”” by preciousposey. man that was a good fic too)

anyway uh

thank you for being a great author!! hope you sleep well and have zero writer’s block forever <3 (and i hope your living situation gets better, i’ve made it up to ch 18 so (why am i getting deja vu writing this im sorry if i did this last time))

thank you! yeah i love nikki. i used to work with kids a lot (a LOT) and they’re just hilarious dude. sometimes these kids will say some shit that’s so excellent and so fun and so entertaining and will know what’s up and she’s kind of a representation of that. kids are great.

and yeah i guess i just don’t personally see like. the value in putting overt homophobia into the tf2 universe. there’s not really the overt expectation of ‘realism’ with the tf2 canon, and while i consider grounding these characters and putting them in more normal circumstances to expand on their more human characteristics to be kind of A Thing I Often Do, i don’t think i need the blunt instrument that is Gritty Realism Through Onscreen Bigotry to make any of the points i want to make in this series. the flavor is kept intentionally lighter throughout that series so that when it gets heavy, it hits a little harder. in other things ive written, and in things i might write in the future, that might pivot, but i don’t ever see bigotry being something necessary to the plot or development of characters in the RB universe.

writing scout as adhd feels kind of inevitable at a certain point if you’re diving into his characteristics and the way he tends to behave. we don’t have a ton to work with but, c’mon. intentionally or unintentionally, he always ends up adhd. the relatable king

and no lie i’ve been listening to ‘still alive’ a LOT lately idk what happened. i listened to that song back in like 2015 a lot then didn’t again until like. three weeks ago. portal was too good for any of us

also just goddamn the fuckin horror movie violins when someone is pre-chapter 20 of taking shots. me when i’m 2/3rds of the way through “sniper dies in this”

#shut up me #everybody talks #and thank you for the concern. home life is better generally these days

What’s your favorite trope/au for sniperscout?

THANK U FOR ASKING

I love love LOOOVE medieval/fantasy sniperscout stuff, it isn't super common i dont think (which is why i have my own version on ao3 lol—) bUT there are a few good ones!!!

Look im not gonna lie, im a total sucker for protective Sniper in their relationship. It might be out of character kinda or maybe not idk. But I think that after losing his adoptive parents and finding out his actual parents are assholes that don't even care about him, he'd be scared to lose Scout, too. Especially since he saw Scout die then come back to life. Scout understands why he feels that way I think, even if it does kinda get on his nerves sometimes and he has to remind Snipes that he can take care of himself just fine, thank you very much. He did take out a horde of bots on his own before the last one got a shot in after all.

Also I love how people write Scout as being someone who helps ground Sniper and get him out of his own head. All that chattering away to someone who's actually interested and actively listening! In turn, Sniper can help bring Scout down when he gets too heated about stuff, like arguments with teammates. RAAAAA I JUST REALLY LIKE THEIR DYNAMIC

Hey! Sorry bout the late sniperscout headcanons, ended up falling alseep-

They both love going to the carnival

Well mostly Scout but Sniper enjoys it too!

Its their usual place for dates

Scout loves the food there and often encourages Sniper to try some

Sniper loves playing those shooting games and sometimes challenges himself to get as many prizes for Scout (Scout keeps telling him to win some for himself too but Sniper never listens lol)

They've been at the place for months now and they both know some blind spots to rest whenever Sniper gets a lil too tired of the socializing

And their absolute favorite place in the whole carnival?

The ferris wheel!

Sniper doesn't mind being on the very top whenever they ride it, in fact, he loves it! (being used to high posts from sniping n all)

Scout loves it too! Watching the ride bring them up, specially when its on a cold night. Just reminds him of home (Especially since Sniper's there)

And the star gazing!!!

Oh these two just love the star gazing so much!!!

Anyways thats all I've got at the moment! Thank you for your time! :]

Thats absolutely adorable!!

Scout totally was the one to initiate going to the carnival (Sniper wasnt too keen on the idea at first but surprisingly it was very pleasent)

Id also like to think the stargazing started after their first date. Scout shared something with him, now Sniper felt like he needed to share something with him.

Sniper teaches Scout about the stars and constellations and Scout just listens to every word spoken. Sitting oh so still.

Do sniper and scout have a kid and name it Kiki? This has been bugging me ever since I finished reading the Run Rabbit Run fanfic you wrote (which is one of my favorites btw!!)

Thanks for asking, and I'm so glad you enjoyed 'Run Rabbit Run', especially since it was my first SniperScout fic! As for their kids, I've always imagined them having a boy and a girl, the girl is the older sibling and the boy is the younger. I never really came up with a good name for their son (Noah, maybe?), but their daughter is always either Kiki or Abigail (Abi for short, or whatever nicknames Scout comes up with). Their daughter takes after Scout in temperament-she's loud, bold, speaks her mind, and likes baseball just as much as he does. But she's a total Daddy's girl and has Sniper wrapped around her finger. (I also envision her with darker hair like him.) Their son is more reserved like Sniper, and is even a little timid when he's younger, but he's very smart and tries to keep his big sister from running head long into things without thinking it through. He's basically Scout's shadow when he's little and likes to hide behind his legs when meeting new people, especially the overwhelming and overprotective mercenaries. Scout likes feeling needed, and since his daughter insists on being independent, he's a bit closer with his son, similar to the relationship he had with his mom.

I guess it depends on which fic you count as canon, although if you haven't noticed, I do have an Easter Egg Kiki appearance in all of my fics ;)

whats with the random uptick in scout stuff? isnt talk of sniperscout like the one thing you dont really want to talk about? what happened for people to come to the swordvan bushmedicine horny blog for scout stuff?

I mean sniperscout is really the only thing I have a limit on, regular Scout sex stuff is Fine but even then I don't feel like I have ANYTHING interesting to add to the discussion bc like, I'm not attracted to Scout tf2! Idk I think people are just doing that "I am going to use the inbox of someone I have deemed Popular(tm) as a replacement for the original post button", especially because this blog is deeeefinitely a kind of "safe space" for horny content on a website that has gotten surprisingly hostile to horny stuff in fandom tags! Despite this though, I really do wish I could get less horny Scout asks cuz I feel bad not really having anything to say! I actually DO have standards for what I post lol I hate posting stuff if I'm not really saying anything interesting. Scout fans I love you but like. I'm an ally best kept at an arm's length I think

do u have any like fave pairings? like just list off some names just for fun :]

OUGHHHB it’s so hard to pick!! i genuinely like them all

recently i’ve been really into soldier ships for some reason???? so, soldierdemo, soldierspy, and even the occasional soldier/sniper have been big for me.

the first tf2 fic i read was 1 of thattriggeredhappy’s sniperscout fics so of course that is an otp of mine. i also love trucks n vans (sniper/engineer) and swordvan (sniper/demo)

i think heavymedic really takes the cake for me. just so sweet. i also like sniper/medic (aka “stethoscope” thank you @soupsy-daisy for coming up with that) and i think scout/medic is soooo underrated

ALSO ENGIESPY especially with transfem spy idk idk idk just makes me happy

TLDR: i like a lot of them, basically all of them. please send me asks about my ship takes

( pinned )

Daniel / Mundy / Aster

he/vamp/bat, gay-ace transman

28, ( 6 Oct. )

TF2-centric & headcanon blog

Ask the Mercs sideblog: @ask-the-tf2-mercs

CARRD

⛧ HEADCANONS ⛧ INCORRECT QUOTES ⛧ FICS ⛧

⛧ MY TAGS ⛧ MY ANONS ⛧

(for app users trying to view tag / anon links, use the links in my bio)

may update more in the future. would prefer not to be reblogged.

( more under cut )

General

I have no preference on what you call me. Mundy, Daniel, Dan, Danny - all are perfectly acceptable

I’m a freelance furry artist

my fursona is a cheetah with a hat too big for his damn head

my TF2 OC is a RED Sniper named Mike (his profile is incomplete but I’m too lazy to update it)

please don’t refer to me as girl/queen/babygirl/whatever. I know people see “gay man” and think that stuff is okay, but I’m also a TRANSman and that stuff is not okay and very much is misgendering

I am open to RP tho only with people 18+ bc I’m an adult myself and it’s just more comfortable for me that way

TF2-Specific

I REALLY love Team Fortress 2, I’ve had a major hyperfixation for this game since it’s initial release, it’s a huge comfort thing for me

Sniper is my favorite, I love him, he’s my husband, but I also just wanna be him so SHRUGS

SniperSpy is my biggest ship, my OTP, if I’m gonna get gay and talk about two men being in love it’s gonna be about them 90% of the time

SniperSpy is the only one I’ll go absolutely feral over, but I also really love HeavyMedic and Engineer/Soldier/Demoman, I actually have very few ships I don’t like

Blog-Specific

I really would prefer people DON’T tag my headcanons with things like “me” or “kin” or “self ship”. it just kinda makes me uncomfortable to have people do that with my headcanons

I don’t answer asks pertaining to Merc x OC / Reader / generic S/O sorta stuff, I’ll consider doing ficlets with those topics however I’d prefer to be paid for those since there’s a lot more involved with making them

"//mundeez nuts" is my non-tf2/general tag

I am free to pick and choose what I want to answer. sometimes I read something, and while I like the concept I just don’t think I’ll have the words to answer it so I’ll delete it. this is to keep myself from getting overwhelmed trying to answer things I genuinely can’t, thus causing myself to stress out and be unable to answer other asks

I used to have a headcanon blog, so if some posts seem familiar it’s because I’ve resposted them here

I’m very dyslexic so don’t expect my text posts to be perfect

for personal reasons, I don’t do genderbent asks

I don’t really answer asks pertaining to kids, the reason being I don’t have much of an interest in them and therefore I’m just not the best person to ask

if you’re gonna reblog one of my headcanon posts to “correct” it, just make your own post. it’s weird and rude and I certainly did not ask for your opinion, especially if someone was asking for MINE

chances are if I post anything focused on Sniper and Scout, it’s NOT a ship thing. I would prefer people not tag it as shipping but I know people probably won’t see this / won’t care lol. but if you see your reblog has been hidden from the post, know that that’s probably why

I don’t really want my blog/headcanons/asks/etc associated with TF2 Twitter. they make me EXTREMELY uncomfortable with the way they treat transmen as fet/ishes

BYF

I personally cannot get into most 10th class / fem merc things, I won’t shit on people who do enjoy it. it’s just I’ve had the concepts for both ruined for me and I can’t separate the bad feelings from them anymore. there are VERY specific scenarios where I can find myself enjoying either

I don’t actually dislike SniperScout as a ship. I just tend to veer away from it these days because the people who do ship those two are super fucking toxic towards others who ship Sniper with anyone else

also if you’re gonna send anon hate over me shipping SniperSpy, don’t waste your own time and instead do something productive with it. I’m just gonna delete it anyway

I do not under any circumstances ship Spy and Scout, not even if you claim it’s “not canon”, not even if you use OCs (bc it feels too close to the “but it’s not canon” excuse)

if you’re a proshipper: you’re disgusting, and I do not and will NEVER like you. stay the fuck away from me and my posts, they are not for people like you.

I block transphobes who f..eti..shize transmen by only portraying us as s/ubm/ssive b/ttoms and don’t see transmen any other way

in general, I block pretty freely. I’m here to enjoy MY experience and I’m tired of putting others first when they hurt me or make me uncomfortable. TF2 is a huge comfort thing for me and makes me happy and I’m not gonna let people ruin more aspects about it for me than already have been

I'm just gonna make this my tf2-centric blog bc, I've just been hyperfocusing on it a ton and I don't wanna clog my multifandom main acc

Main acc: @spontaneousspirit

About me:

Blog stuff:

-no nsfw, suggestive stuff maybe

-lemme know if you want me to tag stuff (other than basic stuff #tf2 and #tf2 scout, etc)

-I try to tag nudity, gore, and blood, but I'm only human and sometimes can't/don't

-I'm pretty much deathly allergic to EngieSpy, SniperSpy, EngieScout, & SniperScout

-I enjoy HeavyMedic, DemoSolly, and SoldierSpy (Is this what multishipping is?)

-most other ships I'm indifferent towards

(This ain't for propaganda or hate, I'm just letting yall know bc I reblog and create what I like and block what I don't)

Me stuff:

- genderfluid pansexual she/he/they (can ya tell that I'm undecisive?)

-Sniper is my beloved skrunkly and Engie is a beloved blorbo and the closest I have to a "character kin", let me be cringe but free on the cringesite!!1! 😭😫 Jesus died for our sins, let me simp for the Aussie and hyperfixate on the cowboy, God bless, amen. 😔🙏 (/sar /j)

-I make art. Ask me for art. Or pay me for art. Dm or Ask box

-I rb my tf2 art from my main and stuff

-I write stuff. A little bit. It's less fun to me, but I'll still write hcs sometimes. Maybe sometime I'll write one-shots

-ask me abt hcs, why not?

-uhhhh AUs are in the works, but life fucks me like its personal whore, so they're on a hiatus until I'm not fighting to survive

(Queer shit: Making everyone gay is sooo cliché, I've decided to focus on gender instead, and in my au/hc, they are all some type of nonbinary/gnc bc... well tbh, I want to, especially as someone with a ✨️funky gender.✨️) (/sar, /j, /lh, this is a joke, do whatever the fuck you want)

wow look at this piece of shit i wrote in my drafts when Joey still gave a shit about my existence

What is Love? Like, real love..

Well, I can only tell you from experience.

When I first met Sarah, my ex-girlfriend of almost two years, I fell in love with her. At least, I thought I did. I loved her voice and her talent. Her blue hair, beautiful eyes, and lovely lips. I loved her despite her cystic fibrosis. I didn't let that stop me from loving her. Although, it put a deep strain on the relationship because we were long distance and she would often end up in the hospital for weeks at a time. I worried constantly and it wasn't very good for my own health.

After Sarah and I parted ways, I went into my first year of highschool hoping for love. But, unfortunately, I was far too mentally unstable for love. I was so desperate for love that I clinged on to a trans boy named Andrew because he was cute looking. None of our interests were similar. We didn't like the same things. We were never even officially a couple. But that fake form of love I felt messed with my view of love.

I spent 2020 and 2021 telling myself that I don't need a partner. I told myself that I wouldn't find anyone, and that's perfectly fine. I can live in my tiny home with my three cats and work for the NWS on my own. But I still silently hoped for somebody to come into my life that I could possibly hold onto. Especially when I joined the TF2 fandom and latched onto sniperscout. I silently hoped for my own Sniper to come and find me one day.

I realized something important not too long ago: Love isn't just sexual attraction or just wanting to have the label of 'girlfriend' for once. Love is something else, something complicated.

Love is when you feel safe with someone, and you feel like you can be yourself around them. You trust them. You feel safe, but you still feel a little flustered when you're around them. You feel happy and content. Love is feeling better when they're around. When you see their smile and it makes you smile. When you look at the pictures you took with them and feel good about the memories. When you like to talk to them or like to listen. When your mind doesn't entirely collapse on itself when you see them. When you want to hold them, hug them, nuzzle them lightly, and kiss them. When you want to say goodnight and good morning every day.

Hey, just wanted to say I started reading running blind just today. Been saving that one for a rainy day. Was very right to do that too, cause it hits just right. Knew it was gonna be a good one. Cheers! Also, just realised now you're probably my all time favourite fanfic writer so far in my life. Thank you.

i’m glad you liked it!! it blows my mind a little that so often there are like, new people who get into tf2 and then, Running Blind is just like, There. fully finished and sitting there. because in my brain it’s very much just, a five years into liking tf2 thing, because i made it after i’d already liked tf2 casually for a while then more actively for like a year, then i wrote other fic just for fun, then when i started writing that one my friends liked it enough that i wrote a bunch more and decided to post it once i’d sunk a good few hours in. sniperscout especially was much more of a passing interest for me until i’d written that much fic and been in discords with people and stuff talking about it, and the idea of it just being a completed thing is wild to me even though i,,, completed it? y’know?

if you’re looking for a new favorite fanfic author anytime soon, you can borrow mine—meow_wow has a lot of crazy good fic!

can u write sniperscout

hope this helps!

ao3

Sniper gets a knock on his door in the middle of the night, during the time he’s allotted to cleaning and/or staring at his guns, and he knows that if someone’s stupid enough to knock on his door in the middle of the night it’s probably important so he stands up and sighs and pats invisible crumbs off his pants and decides it’s entirely too much effort to comb his hair on the way out.

He opens the door. It’s Scout. He’s not really sure what else he expected, but Scout’s in his stupid tank-top and baseball pajama pants, that he probably shoplifted out of some grocery store’s little boy section—and to be completely honest it’s stupid cute but he would never ever say this out loud. Scout does that thing where he puts his buck teeth in front of his bottom lip and makes a sucking noise or something, which he only does when he’s mad, and he balls up his fists and says: “I freaking knew it.”

“Knew what, Roo?”

Sniper knows there’s no point in blocking the doorway since there Scout goes, winding under his arms and then pulling him in by the shoulders and maybe on purpose stomping on his foot in the meantime. “Freakin’—I just woke up and looked at the clock and it’s freaking asscrack of the morning and I went, oh god I bet Snipes is still awake, and guess what. Guess freakin’ what.”

“Is there a reason you’re angry at me?”

“‘Cause the whole ass day you’re like, oh man,” Scout makes a lot of gibberish noises for no particular reason, “I’m so bloody tired, Roo, ouuhghhgh I want coffee so bad Roo, woe’s freakin’ me. And now it’s like three fuckin’ o’clock and you’re awake for no reason. What the hell’s up with that?”

At this point Sniper’s already well aware he’s cornered, especially since Scout keeps grabbing his arm and tugging him around and half-hugging half-punching in that completely bizarre way he does and he ain’t gonna last much longer at this rate—but surely he can fight back a little longer. “You’re awake.”

“If I weren’t awake worrying the fuck about you I wouldn’t be, so it’s all your fault.”

“Everything is, isn’t it?”

“Nice freaking detection, genius.” Sniper doesn’t feel like correcting him on his choice of words, partly because Scout is busying him by pushing him to the bunk—not covering that much ground, to be honest, but the effort’s certainly there. “C’mon. We’re gonna sleep. Right now.”

“Oh, now?”

“Right… freakin’… now. God, move.”

Sniper smiles—sure, he’ll provoke it. “But I still have work to do.”

Scout stops, suddenly, and Sniper almost topples but manages to keep his balance, and Scout crosses his arms and sucks his teeth again and says: “What the hell’re you doing, then?”

“… Important business.”

“More important than spending time with me, your boyfriend who you love and freakin’ cherish the shit out of?”

“When you say boyfriend it sounds like we’re in bloody high school and also I never said that.”

“Uh-huh,” Scout smacks his head for no reason and pushes Sniper into the bunk, “sure, tough guy. You’re just so busy with sitting with your stupid guns and staring at the wall and, like, your brain just oozing outta your ears.”

“Oh, no. Sounds bad.”

“That’s cause it is. And that’s why I’m fixing it. I’m fixing you. You owe me a big one.”

Sniper wordlessly tries to sit up and then Scout plunks down on top of him and entangles their legs together and generally is just an annoying nuisance (and all of a sudden he doesn’t really want to get up, anyway).

“Uh-uh. Not going anywhere. We’re staying right here, big guy, til’ you‘ve been, like, healthy for one night.”

“Okay,” Sniper says, and he knows he’s lost. “Alright, Roo. Fine. You win. Christ, I’ll go to sleep.”

“That’s what I like to hear.” Scout does not get off of him, and in fact holds onto him a little tighter, burying his head in his chest. “I think actually I’m gonna stay here too.”

Sniper laughs. “Y’know, if I get this every time I don’t go to sleep it does make it kinda tempting…”

“Oh, shut up. Next time I’ll just sock you in the stomach.”

“… Fair enough.”

“But I guess I’d be open to doing this every night.”

“It’ll help me sleep.”

Scout sniffles. “Well, I’m sold.”

“Look forward to it,” Sniper says, and the next thing he knows sunlight’s streaming through the windows and for the first time in his life he feels conscious. He almost swivels to get up and then realizes he can’t—because Scout is still on top of him and seems to somehow have hijacked all of the blankets even though he’s right bloody on top of him, and he’s freezing cold but somehow he doesn’t entirely mind.

Scout’s still holding tight onto his hand, despite the fact that wherever he is absolutely isn’t anywhere resembling consciousness. Sniper takes a deep breath, and Scout snores a little, and he decides he could get used to this. Definitely.
