A quiet night for the spies…

[straytrax]

I’m planning on reviving this account! It’ll mostly be headcanons for canon mercs and ocs, but I’ll throw in some art here too. I’ve been so deeply invested in making tf2 headcanons recently… I’ve already had a lot and now I have even more.

[straytrax]

I accidentally deleted the request- but the one who asked for my Sniperspy headcanons: thank you for asking! I’d love to share cause, I too, have enormous brainrot!

Firstly, I'd like to say that these headcanons are with Red Sniper/Blu Spy. They’re not much different from a relationship with Red Spy, but he has certain headcanons that differ from his Blu counterpart and he has a different scenario in which he meets the Red Sniper.

They met, formally and without drawn blades, in an uncommon rickety bar in Teufort. It began with a mocking barb from Sniper, who had just walked in, and an unusually placid threat from Spy, who was evidently tipsy and more. Sniper felt almost guilty looking at the man so disheveled outside of working hours, and lacking a team no less. It was dangerous; the respawn system was off, after all. He hesitantly took a seat beside the spy, and before he had a chance to speak, Spy’s tongue was as loose as local gossipers having overheard new profound knowledge of the mercenaries and their little fort. Most of his tangent was nothing of importance (especially his snarky retorts towards Sniper) and half in French, so Sniper hardly followed. However a small sliver of dismal emotion stirred up in Spy, catching Sniper’s attention. Before he went any further, Spy paid for his drinks and carefully walked out of the bar. Following the incident, Spy targeted Sniper for the whole week until they met again at the same bar. This time Spy was sober. (Of course there’s more to this, but it’s an abstract snippet of how things started to get the ball rolling between them!)

(Okay, here’s them in a romantic relationship) Spy loves to stir up Sniper’s gravelly yet elated laugh, and Sniper loves to rouse an infatuating bubbly snort from Spy. Whether it be through ludicrous shenanigans, tickling, and, god forbid, dad jokes (contrary to what you might think, Sniper’s the one loaded with them. He secretly stashes 101 so bad, they’re good dad joke books) it doesn’t fail to make the other laugh. They get extra giggly when they are drunk. Sniper pulls out his infamous dance moves, tripping on his own feet and bringing everything he touches down with him. Meanwhile Spy tries to sing the best he can, which is equivalent to a cat being dragged through a bagpipe.

They do, however, have a mutual correlation that when things feel quiet, it’s nice to stay quiet. They share the pleasant silence while lounging or cuddling, or taking up smaller activities. Sniper likes to knit during these times. It’s easier to prevent extra stitches and tightened stitching than end up frogging most of it when talking, since it disrupts his focus. Spy savors reading and drawing. Sometimes he doesn't have to bring any books over, Sniper reads himself— just not much— or he’s already left a couple books from his previous visit. That being said, Spy still never arrives empty handed— without taking his weapons into account. He carries a notebook with a well worn pencil tied to it. While Sniper’s engrossed, Spy will sketch the man, sometimes discreetly or right across from him. He’d earn a bashful murmur and a foot tap from under the table when he’s noticed, but he’s never told to stop.

Following up with Spy never coming empty handed: he also brings food! He normally brings it on days when his counterpart, Red Soldier, or Red Demoman butcher their turn to cook (which is almost always), but will happily indulge his lover with more sweets and spices whenever he desires to. Spy also brings gourmet and pastry magazines he’s had stashed or exported from Europe to Sniper’s van, and they both review the ones Spy could possibly prepare and return with. Sniper knows he’s not as adept in culinary as Spy and will instead hunt the local critters, prepare them for cooking, and give them to Spy to fix. Sniper handed a prepped python to Spy once and he came back with a delicious soup that hit the spot stronger than any game he’s had before.

Sorry it’s so short! Hopefully I can write more in the near future.
