#Blutarch and Redmond Mann

[dinoburger]

I think I'm ready to call this done, mid-October seemed like a good deadline for a Halloween comic.

Specifically, this one is focused on the 1800's crew, so a brief summary for those unfamiliar:

contents includes alcohol, violence, body horror and death, and some implied child neglect I suppose. Mostly within the bounds of what's typical for TF2... mostly.

I would like to thank everyone who gave me feedback, schnozzbun-art for help editing and Nominel for his astute observations.

I feel it would also be amiss not to mention themannfamily who's writings have been a huge source of inspiration, I don't think I would conceive of Silas the way I do if not for them

so without further ado...

Redmond and Blutarch on their way to hell X)

I don't know exactly how I feel about this drawing but I think that might be because I've been staring at it for so long.

I hope you like it at least 😅

Happy Halloween, Mortals!

Personally I think Merasmus keeps up with Mann family drama like its a weird sitcom, and now he's hosting the reunion episode!

on the outside tf2 is a simple team v team game that revolutionized videogames forever. on the inside, there is so much mpreg.

Happy birthday, Mann brothers.

The author sincerely wishes happiness and peace to this family. At least for what's left of it. So I wanted to do something innocent for this day.

Let's imagine for a while that everything is fine with them and they could get along, because only Gray, having the character of their father, is the only one who could calm these two. If only he wasn't so offended and categorical, and Redmond and Blutarch showed themselves not only from the side of madmen.

I truly believe that they could get used to each other and reconcile if they had more time together.

In addition:

As the youngest and weakest, but, ironically, the most capable now, Gray takes care of his brothers as the eldest. He's always been watching them from the sidelines, so it's not new for him to be interested in how they're doing and visit them.

In the end, they all realize that the father has been guilty in front of them all.

Redmond and Blutarch are even bigger kids than Olivia (and Olivia thinks so too).

Gray can be very patient, but he has that fatherly look that quickly resolves their conflicts.

They don't fight, but that doesn't mean they don't find ways of small competitions like before.

My personal headcanon is that Blutarch loves strawberries despite the color.

They have a lot of topics to talk about after the war, but mostly they are all about the times of youth.
