Empathy Gets Treated As This Universally Positive Thing But We Forget That Empathy Often Equals Pain,

hi I'm accepting 5 art requests about tf2 pls tell me if my ask box is working also no ship art pls because am not comfy with that okey

(Basically: I'll select five requests you guys want me to draw about tf2, however no ship art that is noncanonical. The art won't be high quality, im just doing this to practice.)

back to tf2 stuff again!

pretty random one, but i feel like demoman would write books in his spare time about the supernatural! he has a very popular book that is about a young boy who is haunted by a ghost. however, he dropped writing after his mother kept saying it wasn’t good enough and didn’t make enough money. after mann. co hired him, he’s had a lot of time to write in between battles. there’s one book about a rivalry between two boys that ends up with the other dead that was inspired by his rivalry with soldier in the War! Update.

they get along swell (click for higher quality)

Stop reading popular books by Zionist authors!

This includes Neil Gaiman, Brandon Sanderson, SJM, Rebecca Yarros, Chloe Walsh, Gabrielle Zevin, Pierce Brown, Carissa Broadbent, Rachel Lynn Solomon, Michelle Hodkin, Taylor Reid Jenkins, etc.

Boycott Zionists’ works!

Headcanon: Scout and Spy go to father-son therapy. The therapists are Soldier and Demoman. Soldier is surprisingly smart and Demoman is very philosophical.

soldier yells at spy a lot. spy does not like therapy.

that’s it that’s the headcanon.

TF2 Headcanons: Game Balance & The Gunslinger

So, let’s get right to it.

Gunslinger:

Obviously, the RED Engineer invented it first with the help of the RED Medic. The BLU Engineer never asked his team’s Medic for help due to the rocky relationship the entire BLU team has, so he could never figure out how to bridge the gap between man and machine. BLU Engie just found the blueprints for the Gunslinger design at the front of his door one day, complete with notes from the RED Medic and Engineer on how the wiring and circuits could function as nerves. BLU Engie immediately took to building it, but ran into a problem once he finished.

How would he remove his hand?

The RED Medic had helped his team’s Engie with removing the hand precisely so that the nerves would connect with the wiring of the machine. But there was no way the BLU Engineer would ever ask his Medic, considering how snappy he got. So BLU Engineer went into the day’s round of fighting, only to be absolutely obliterated by an Ubered RED Medic and Battle Engineer. After the humiliating defeat, BLU Engineer just says screw it and slices his hand clean off.

He, of course, ended up with an infection that forced him to go to the BLU Medic for help, who did his best to try and fix the problem. It was pretty hard to fix completely without regrowing his entire hand back, so he ended up with constant hand pain.

But how did BLU Engineer end up with the blueprints at his door?

Well that leads us to our next topic…

Game Balance:

The Administrator’s job is to make both teams as balanced as possible. She was the one who proposed the idea of clones to Blutarch, which Blutarch screwed up with his desire to make the BLU team superior to the RED team. If she could, the Administrator would definitely make a new set of clones for the BLU team, but cloning people is extremely expensive. So the Administrator tries to make the game more balanced, by giving all weapons that the RED team invents to the BLU team, and taking weapons that have too much power.

The RED team often works together to try and make new weapons that will make fighting easier, but overnight, the weapon will either disappear or be “nerfed” (aka components that make it too overpowered will be removed). However, once a weapon achieves balance, a copy is sent to the BLU team. Some of the RED team have suspicions about their disappearing weapons, but there isn’t much they can do about it. It’s either accept it as the norm or get fired.

So, the Administrator gave the BLU Engineer the Gunslinger to “balance” the teams. The Administrator couldn’t directly help the BLU team though, so they kept getting dominated by the RED team. The Administrator often sends Miss Pauling to provide the BLU team more support, but Miss Pauling doesn’t really care for the BLU team much. They’re never as lively or as fun as the RED team, and they don’t treat her as a friend and more as an uncaring employer. She definitely prefers the RED team over them, but she still needs to follow the Administrator.

Now, as I mentioned in my last post, I considered the RED Pyro to only be a suit brought to life with magic, and the BLU Pyro a crude mechanical version of it. A more detailed version of what I think of it will be up in a few days, and I apologize for the delay on that.

Thank you for all of the support on the last post! I spent the past few days just staring at the number of notes going up and reading the tags on reblogs and it just made me explode on the inside lol. I’ll be posting more of these headcanon posts, but instead of packing a ton of headcanons into one post I’ll spread them out a bit more so I’ll have time to come up with new ones. Thank you to everyone who reblogged and left all those nice words. It really encourages me to write more in this fandom, hell even in general.

TLDR: THANK YOU

Working on different versions of Plastic man

spy had to teach pyro the benefit of small fires since one time when spy asked pyro to help him light a cigarette they just burned off spy’s hand. one trip to respawn later spy finds pyro again and shows them how to light a cigarette with a LIGHTER and not a flamethrower. 

pyro just stared at the lighter and grabbed it. then they started waving it around like a magic wand and gently tapping on everyone’s heads with it because oh my gosh it was a mini flamethrower.

spy didn’t have the heart to take the lighter back.

Small world. 🌎👻

based on @sircle-water's theory that I have accepted as canon.

More TF2 art on Roblox! Most of these servers consist of amongus and only amongus, so that’s fun.
