Engi with a calf

I've seen a lot of drawings of Sniper with crocodiles (and koalas and kangaroos and whatnot)

But do you know what's underrated ?! Engi with baby cows !

Or just barn animals. I don't remember seeing a lot if any. We need to draw more.

"But Ag" I hear you say "His dad, AND grand dad, were engineers. They probably didn't have a bran. This is just a stereotype."

Listen to me ! Do you think Sniper was wrestling crocodiles every morning ? And bounding with kangaroos on the weekends ?

... yes he probably was BUT STILL !

THIS is criminaly underrated look how cute they look !

I'm sure his neighbors were all farmers.

And he help taking care of the little cows.

And fed the horses.

We need to draw more.

...

yeah.

rating tf2 ships instead of doing English because writers block part 1: SCOUT!!

1. Scout/Pyro (Flashfire) - 10/10

honestly? love this ship. mwah mwah. I think these two would have a unique build up to a relationship. Scout being intimidated at first by Pyro (then realizing Pyro is actually pretty chill), and Pyro genuinely wanting to befriend Scout because he’s funny and pretty.

I see Pyro as being able to keep up with Scout’s hyperactive nature, but also being able to coax out a calmer side. Scout has trouble understanding his own emotions and expressing them (being very emotional and fearful of what others may think of him for that) and pyro is very patient and loving. They’re both chaotic, loving, expressive, and have a need to be understood and not disregarded by assumptions.

I see pyro as being very open to physical touch, but won’t actively initiate it. I think pyro would prefer quality time and acts of service. their main love language being gift giving and quality time. scout on the other hand I could see preferring quality time and physical touch (but having to be the one to initiate it), but would outwardly express words of affirmation and gifts.

Whenever I think of these two I think of their relationship being very soft. Yeah they’re chaotic and dangerous, but I can see them being very soft with one another. Scout talks a lot and Pyro listens. Pyro talks a lot and Scout listens. I think their relationship wouldn’t be established for a good while, until Scout one day just asks if they’re dating or not while they’re cuddling and watching some action movie.

I think they’d have stupid nicknames. Well on scout’s part, I don’t think pyro would make nicknames. Scout would still call them mumbles, chucklehead, and other stupid stuff, but he’d say it in a very affectionate way.

Pyro would definitely without thinking link their pinkies together when they’re near one another. It flusters Scout every single time, without fail. Scout uses flirts and pick up lines and Pyro is unaffected by them(though finds it hilarious when Scout trips over his words). If anything, they find scout’s attempts funny but prefer when he’s just being real and down to earth, rather than trying to “puff” himself up, and when he seeks out Pyro for comfort and touch. Whether it just be to hold hands or lean on.

2. Scout/Soldier (All American Offense/Batting Helmet) - 7/10

I’m kinda unsure how I feel about this ship!! I give it a high rating because i think it could be unique and these two would definitely be fun together. I’m not sure if I could ever see them being in an established romantic relationship, but I could see them being in a close relationship which isn’t exactly anything labeled.

Unlike flashfire I can see their relationship being very hyper rather than soft. They’re both reckless and loud which definitely leads to both of them making bad decisions which Spy or Demo have to get them out of. They’d definitely bond and strength their relationship over their love of adrenaline. Both, Soldier and Scout are so SO loving, and I definitely think they’d put their all into a relationship and both constantly try to impress the other. Especially on the battlefield, I can see them yelling for the other and going ‘did you see that?!’ Or ‘that was for you!!’ kinda thing. You kill one of them? Within seconds you’re killed by the other.

I do think their relationship would be a bit rocky at times due to miscommunication on both sides. Soldier and Scout tend to run into things without thinking, making plans on the go, and misinterpreting things. If they were to establish any sort of partnership they’d have to work on communicating. Both of them would have to work on not only their communication skills but also their emotional responses to things. Both of them are very prone to emotional outbursts/irritation which they’d have to work on.

However! It’s evident both mercs are so loving and aware of others emotions. I think in a relationship, Scout would stop making joking insults which Solly wouldn’t understand, and would ask Solly more questions about himself rather than his stories. Of course!! Scout and Soldier would 100% bond over stories of crushing people’s skulls, and be so hyped to hear about the other’s experiences. However the curiosity towards him as a person and his interests other than war I think would startle and slightly scare Soldier at first honestly.

Overall I think they’re relationship would be very fluid and interesting to work with. They’re love language would be far from conventional: wrestling/physical fighting(not out of anger), and not outwardly ‘romantic’ tendencies. I don’t think they’d be the type to be touchy or have flowery words. On their own I think both of them could be physical and loud with their affection but together I think it would be more of a casual thing. Maybe an affectionate pet name thrown in an offhand sentence or remark, or a gentle guidance towards a different decision. I can’t see them full on cuddling, but rather being near one another and leaning on the other. At most maybe Scout putting his head in Solly’s lap or running his hand through Solly’s buzz cut.

I do think that as hyper as they’d be, they would have very sweet moments on ceasefire days. Whether it be resting/sleeping in, cooking, or just talking and playing cards. I think with simple daily activities the more soft “intimate” side would be drawn forward. I don’t think they’d ever refer to their relationship as romantic, but I don’t think they’d stop someone from assuming they’re dating, y’know?

3. Scout/Demoman (Hop Scotch) - 10/10

Similar to All American Offense, I don’t think these two would put a label on their relationship. I think it would more be like they’re aware of how loving the other is and how strong their bond is as a friendship, and just acknowledge they love each other; whether it be fully platonic or not.

Demo with his desire for touch and Scout with flippant touch adversity and desire, I think they would definitely be one of the more sweeter duo and outwardly affectionate. They’d be more willing to show physical affection in front of others, like hugging, kissing, cuddling, those kinda things.

Scout would be so excited to learn about Demo’s culture and it would be oh so sweet. Demo is patient and more than happy to share his Scottish culture with any s/o he has. He shares cultural dishes while Scout shares dishes his ma used to make. For both Scout and Demo family means a lot, which is something I think would definitely strengthen their bond, along with both of them being openly emotional and willing to share their issues with one another (of course that would take time).

Demo willingly hearing out Scout without making him feel stupid and Scout listening to Demo’s turmoil and validating his feelings. I definitely think their relationship would work since I imagine Demo actively reminding Scout that he sees him as an equal and doesn’t look down on him at all. Which helps since Scout is very self conscious. In return, Demo is equally self conscious and struggles with self image, which Scout counteracts by constant verbal affection and being able to talk Demo through it. I think they’re relationship would lean very heavily into verbal and physical affection. Demo finds it funny whenever Scout hypes him up. Scout in term gets really embarrassed when Demo says anything sweet to him, but also determined to show off.

I see Demo as being open to physical contact and craving it, but always makes it obvious and asks if he can touch Scout before doing so, something Scout appreciates immensely. That being said, I do think that with Demo, Scout would be very more physically affectionate compared to some of the other ships. I just see them being a very go with the flow relationship which leaves Scout feeling more than comfortable with touch when it comes to Demo. Anyway they’re really cute and sweet and both deserve love and happiness and I wanna see more of them.

4. Scout/Medic (Blunt Trauma/Quick Fix) - 10/10

Hands down, I adore this duo. They’re absolutely adorable and love mediscout shippers. I went over their duo a little bit in a few posts ago, but I love the idea of both of them being equally fascinated by the other.

Scout always being the first to go see Doc and volunteering for experiments. Medic being enthralled by how healthy Scout is and finding him beautiful, both inside and out. I think this duo has a lot of potential, especially with metaphors and love that goes deeper than what is associated with the term. Their relationship could be very poetic. I do think these two would start off with a very awkward relationship, and this sense of awkwardness never really leaves it which adds to their charm as a duo.

I think it would start with Scout developing a bit of a puppy crush, finding Medic handsome and amazing in terms of skill. Scout being outwardly very awkward and loving (constantly following medic to infodump and talk about anything and everything just to get a convo going) and getting flustered by Medic who could just be standing there. Medic in turn I think would pick up on the little crush scout has and find it endearing but not think much of it. More than willing to talk to Scout about his ideas and thoughts, but never thinking he’d regard Scout in a romantic manner. I don’t think Medic would realize he had feelings for Scout until someone pointed it out. Engie says to him how he gets a fond look in his eyes and his entire demeanor just softens. Which gets Medic thinking and he just goes ‘oh shit’. Once the realization is there, I think Doc would become equally as or even more awkward and nervous than Scout. He’d still ask scout for help with certain things or lion for him to make conversation, but he’d fumble with his words more and be more mindful/careful of how he handles the other in surgery.

Anyway they’d probably establish their relationship through the help of others, which leaves Scout asking bluntly and awkwardly if they could establish something and Medic agreeing. From then on it’d be a bit more smooth sailing. One of the only issues I could see them running into a lot of times could be fear for the other. Medic fearing Scout getting so hurt that even he couldn’t heal him, or Scout somehow hating or failing out of love. Scout on the other hand would fear Medic dying rather than getting hurt and the idea of doc ever finding him annoying rather than endearing.

Both of them having issues with touch, some days loving it and other days hating it, i think physical aspects of a relationship like any sort of touch would be very special and a huge sign of trust. Whether it be Medic studying Scout’s heart or Scout gently rubbing under Medic’s eyes.

They would have cute nicknames for one another and I think their relationship would be very sweet and poetic.

Overall I love their dynamic and want more soft stuff of them. (Plus the idea of the man who outsmarted the devil being with god’s gift is SO hilarious to me.)

5. Scout/Sniper (Speeding Bullet) - 7.5/10

Honestly? I think they’re cute but similar to earlier ships mentioned I don’t think these two would ever put a label on their relationship. It’s not my favorite but I’m not against it, the art of them is adorable.

I’ve mentioned before how I believe their friendship is finding freedom and normalcy in the other which is something that would stay in any relationship they have. I don’t think they’d change anything about the way they interact with one another even if they were officially dating. It would still be very laid back and loose in a way.

I don’t know if they’d do very romantic things, maybe a few chaste kisses and laying on the other as a weighted blanket, but otherwise i can’t see them having a very touchy relationship. I think in terms of romance their bond would be: feeling so much love and fondness for another person and being okay with it and not wanting to change the relationship beyond what it is.

They find freedom in the other and just kinda go with it, y’know? I can see them more being a QPR than a standard romantic relationship.

For the last few:

Scout/Engie and Scout/Heavy

Personally I can’t see either relationship being romantic or anything other than platonic. I think scout sees heavy as an older brother and Heavy views scout as a younger brother, and it being unable to go beyond that.

On the other hand for engie, I just personally can’t see engie with many people. I’ve always regarded engie as aroace, which while he could have a relationship, I can’t see him actively seeking or desiring one. Plus I’ve mentioned before how I think engie and scout would have a rather rocky-unsure relationship which would need heavy communication.

Overall!! Scout is so loving and deserves love!!

I’ll do the next merc later!!!

My Biggest tf2 red flag is absolutely that I only play against bots.

I’ve been playing tf2 for YEARS, and I hate casual servers. It’s always either people who are far too try hard, or folks who can’t play the game, and I think I’ve only had a handful of experiences where I joined a server and had a fully developed team - only ONCE a cooperative team. The one exception to this is MvM, since I feel like everyone in that mode is at a joined skill level due to the common goal of just ‘get money and kill as many bots as you can’.

How Spy is Scout's Dad

Just a little headcanon/lore I came up with.

So, Scout's Ma had a husband before Spy. She had her seven sons with that husband. But when World War 2 started, he went to war and unfortunately, was killed.

Now Spy was in Boston at the time, working for an agency tracking down Axis Power spies/traitors. While he was there, he met a grieving Ma and felt bad. He took her out for dinner and the two started dating. Later on, they fell in love.

Scout's brothers loved Spy as if he was their dad. In 1944, Spy married Ma. A year later, Scout was born. Unfortunately, he couldn't be there for Scout because his agency required him to come back, so Spy had to leave in order to keep is family safe.

Then father and son reunited in 1968.

So yeah, that's my thought on that. I also think Scout's ma's name is Rachel cause why not? Also, their last name is Jones. She switched to her maiden name after Spy left. Helps Scout believe Tom Jones is his dad.

RANDOM RANT:

I was playing tf2, maining as a Pybro because, Engis <3, anyways.. I met two people, both sweeter then I'd expected especially since it's fucking tf2 lmfao.

I was following another pyro down the sewers as one does, low om health because I got assaulted by a fucking soldier a moment ago. While I was waiting for a new med pack to spawn they really said, "Are you ok, Bonk?" I MEAN- NOW I AM!

AND THEN

I met this engi down in the intel room, helping them babysit their nest and all THEN THEY JUST- CAME UP TO ME, "Bonk?" - "Yeah?" - "Can you watch over while I'm gone?" I MEAN OFC OFC ANYTHING FOR YOU DUDE.

i hate how uncletopia has just become another face.it for tf2 it's just nothing but sweat until you can't do it anymore. - no one ever wants to scramble, especially if they're on the team that's rolling. - whenever people DO try to scramble, they're ridiculed intensely for it. - it's the same comp slop maps over and over: badwater, pier, sunshine, dustbowl. rinse and repeat.

god i wish valve would just get off their ass and fix casual. i'd give almost anything to have it back.

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS.

You know Pootis Engage // EXTREME, the youtube video by Ceno0?? When the heavies finally find the Sexy Anime Girls™ at Area 51, you know who is also there??

RED Demoman Sexy Anime Girl™ confiremd??? I think YES, but wait, there's more.

So this is RED Demo, but who was the person that tried to stop the heavies from finding the Anime Girls??

BLU Soldier

This man was willing to fight to the DEATH, outnumbered 2 to 1, to stop the heavies from finding and doing the sex with the Anime Girls (RED Demo included).

Is this a coincidence?

I THINK NOT.

Gay-ass Soldier confirmed, protecting his boyfriend like a true American.

SniperScout is a strange pairing (rant)

First of all, why the fuck is it so popular??

Second of all, why tf is it MY favourite ship??????

Like, I'm very picky about my choosing my favourite characters and ships because I treasure being LOGICAL™ and CANON COMPLIANT® as much as possible, because I want to know that it's POSSIBLE to have A and B in yaoi relationships in theory, I'm not satisfied with baseless stuff I'm very sorry.

Yet sniperscout has 0 CANON CHEMISTRY!!! In any of the sources almost!! No sorry it's NEGATIVE POINTS chemistry by the "are they likely" scale. I mean, even if there is some chance, it's not going to be mutual for sure. (I am using my perfect logic and reasoning because I'm the smartest here and only my understanding and headcanons are objectively correct.)

You see, (my vision), these guys as they are, unchanged, are incomparable. I mean look, they are like frozen chicken breasts: to make them tasty you need to warm them up first and then start to COOK. You can't just take default sniper and default scout and make them kiss if you want to be compliant, NO. IT WON'T WORK.

Because Scout is so unapologetically blinded by heteronomativity and Sniper doesn't talk to people. It's always a potential slow burn that is never actually moving anywhere....... The soil could be growing flowers but it's just dirt....

In order for sniperscout to work logically, they both have to go through a meat grinder of character development, GROW AS PEOPLE, find out things about themselves, each other, to have a story together... (Scout to become more vulnerable and emotionally mature. And Sniper to... Ah he's actually fine, it's scout who causes all the trouble.)

...To actually plant the seeds into fucking dirt!!!! In that case, yeah, I've been proven it can work, I'm satisfied.

BUT

There come problems:

While character development is not inherently OOC, in that case it LOOKS OOC because. In canon Scout actually didn't have his development, we don't know for sure how would a "more mature" scout look like. It already kind of beefs with my desire to be reasonable and it hurts...

And what else hurts that I CAN'T HAVE INSTANT YAOI. IT'S ALWAYS THE FUCKING """SITUATIONS""" AND """CONTEXT""" of 50k words before the action begins.

Like, some other ships have their potential inherently in their character instead of situations. I can see how SoldierSpy would work (opposites attract), SniperSpy (combat rivals), Medic x anyone (no comment), not even talking about HeavyMedic and DemoSoldier......

While Sniperscout... Is the most BASIC Sun & Moon dynamic......

except THE SUN DIDN'T FUCKING CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

God please I just want them to hug I want one if them thinking "you are the sun in my eyes I'm literally alive because of you" abd another one to be like "you're sooo cool like very very cool you are never going to get rid of me got it??"....... Without hearing their long ass slowburn every time but if I don't my brain will not believe it.......
