Next batch of pages sneak peak because he's adorable and I'm roasting him

One must imagine the entire BLU team listening to Syl tell them about Grim's feelings, and them rushing to accommodate and help him just so he can not have his prosthetics on

Who remembers Scout needing to go to the bathroom with broken arms

Look at him

[monsterlore]

"I hate it. I fucking hate it."

Those hands. Grim wanted them… gone, destroyed. No— how dare they masquerade as his hands? They weren't actual hands, they were just scraps of metal and plastic. No flesh, no blood, no nerves—nothing. Just the physical manifestation of a lie. Why did he have to wear them? Why couldn't… a miracle have happened, and LB's Medi Gun actually managed to make his hands grow back? He had to put up with trash at the end of his nubs, just to function in everyday life.

First Jun's, then Syl's robot hands. His teammates weren't to blame for anything—they were just helping with something they should be helping with. Grim knows he can't actually live without hands, wriggling like a lonely worm in a world made for opposable thumbs. But, just… why?

Grim had felt Syl pressing against him, but only now realized he'd been quietly weeping with him. His partner really did feel others' emotions, like a sixth sense. Grim wanted to comfort him, giving him any non-touching equivalent of a hug. This was his fault…

Syl turned the TV off. The couple got up and headed for their bedroom; probably a better place to cry.

On the mattress, with the moon watching over them—Syl hugged Grim, and he didn't hug her back because that's what she liked.

"I got you."

"I know."

"It feels wrong, doesn't it?" Syl stated, and Grim couldn't agree more. "They work, but they're… wrong."

The Soldier felt like he hadn't even said anything, done anything. Yet here Syl was, practically in his mind, capable of untangling his own thoughts and making complete sentences out of them. A part of Grim wanted to fear being so vulnerable… but Syl was giving him the freedom to do that. He just wanted to enjoy this sense of relief, finally. His emotions over this hands thing were so stupid for existing… it's probably still good to cry about it now, rather than later.

Just as Grim thought that Syl had already done the best to help him, she acknowledged one more of his own dark thoughts: "Nothing will replace your hands, Grim. Nothing."

He crumbled. He wept. He let it all out because there was nothing left to keep it in.

Nobody's validated him like that.

Grim himself didn't quite understand, is that truly all that this was? He just hates his fake hands? He hates that he became disabled? And his partner found words so negative, that comforted him like never before. What was this… finding closure?

Syl hugged and caressed him, and never once let him go. Then Grim let her undress him, and she reached for the sleeves that held his prosthetics in place. She started to take one off, the partners gazing into each other's eyes in understanding.

Finally, both metal hands were off. Grim's forearms ended in scarred bulbs. Syl reached for them, and Grim whimpered. It was the first time… she tried again, gentler, somehow even more loving than she's been this entire time.

It was the first time… obviously not the first time getting touched in general, but actually getting touched just for intimacy, just to tell Grim, You're not crazy for feeling this way.

They kissed and hugged. Syl never let go of his partner's real hands. That's exactly what they were doing—holding hands. Grim's just hid under assistive devices so he can be independent during the day, but now they know. He doesn't have to like them. He doesn't have to compliment or express gratitude for them. All he has to do is use them. Their creator understood him—he needed some space to be angry, to care that he'd lost something he never should've lost.

Grim melted into Syl's arms. He was so happy, so thankful. How could I ever repay him? was his question for another time, as he relaxed completely and drifted off to sleep.

Pages are just from the last batch :)

Exposing this goober's google doc notes

Hak-kun would be a really unaware bisexual, who doesn’t even realize gay relationships could possibly exist. Even if Howl, Lim or Fireball talked about their partners 24/7.

Outside of the BLU/RED environment, he accidentally misgenders Syl, a woman who uses he/him/masc terms. His mind can’t accept saying “my boyfriend Sylvester”, as that would imply that he’s in a gay relationship when he’s not.

Why are you looking through personnel files 🤨 pervert 🤨

[monsterlore]

the voices inside my head i mean I really wanted to draw catpeople for the TF2 OC zine

Main: Sylvester the calico!!

🐾🐈🐱🐈‍⬛

Kitty besties: LB/Erik/Gill and Chester/Buck/Holman

Medic and Heavies from the USSR // Snipe, Sol and Scout

Sploots: Sylvester (again), Grim, Lim and Iggy

Engie, Sol, Medic, Demo. The dirty yellow palette obviously replaces real cat colors like ginger/cream tabby, and Lim and Iggy would absolutely have orange cat behavior

🐈🐱🐈‍⬛🐾

Laser pointer pranksters: Chester (again)/Howl, Hak-kun/Fireball

Spare a thought for those who will never catch the red dot 😔🙏🏽
