HELLO TUMBLR!!! Since u guys liked my last tf2 related post I’m tossing y’all this that Twitter seemed to LOVE. Me & my friend @quinn-tessetial were like “what if WE just continued tge tf2 comics and renamed it tf3 lol” so here. Feast. Basically 83% of the ideas were hers, I’m just illustrating it lol. There will be a part 2 soon! I’ve just been so busy lately hehe. Anyways all of these are based more off of like. The canon lore more than they are personal headcanons (sorry soldier & demo shippers) (but congrats speeding bullet fans..?) but honestly take this as you will and headcanon whatever idc. This was made for fun. Do with this info what you will. Everyone say thank you Quinn for doing all the lore work
Next up in our swap AU shenanigans: Wheatley and Barney!
Wheatley Calhoun (Last name still a WIP) originally applied to Black Mesa as a scientist, though through his incompetence and complete obliviousness to the fact they were trying to fire him landed him a job as a security officer in sector C.
He admires Chell and wants nothing more than to prove himself to them, which he (sort of) gets to do in half life 2 by sheer luck of being the only person available to lead a large rebellion team. G-Woman has mentioned and tends to down-talk Wheatley and Chells choice in “Best friends” as Wheatley calls them.
Barney was a Security core that was eventually moved to watching after the human test subjects when G-DOS’s neurotoxin attack killed off most of the staff and rendered some of the cores inactive. He tries to be friendly with Gordon, making conversation that Gordon is very obviously not interested in. He knows what he’s doing but was kept very in the dark about what goes on at aperture and has the horrific downfall of being clumsy, uninformed on the science, and the object of G-DOS’s annoyance (Who of course is not very fond of his intervention)
the episode 1 kleiner speech is still so funny to me, the citadel is literally about to explode and some old man goes onto every screen on the city and goes “PLEASE HAVE SEX”
