i love how you draw the ponies. it’s almost in the same way gmod animators horribly mutiliate the tf2 models to make them look like hamsters

yes im vagueing about a moot i love seeing different interpretations of red/blu mercs dawg. ugnngiggug. /gen gen gen

clone teams? diff people just uncannily similar looking? I LOVE IT ALL!! ITS ALL SO GOOD!!!!

if u want to see my personal ramblings pls click clasck

are you still here. ok good.

HUAGHAGHUUAHGGHHBGG!!!!!!!

so as for the canon of the game/comics its clear theres different sets of teams. i promise this is relevant

Team Echelon. Team Citadel. Team Vanguard. and of course, Team Fortress.

on team fortress, there's 9 other unnamed mercenaries that we don't know the identities of. and according to the update/mvm comics (plus the mvm trailers) the 9 mercenaries we DO know are scattered across RED and BLU. they are not all on the same team like they are in the mainline comics or in shorts like expiration date.

well. why is that

sure you could say "eh for things like mvm its more narratively compelling if both BLU and RED team up to fight the robots, since canonically Blutarch and Redmond, their bosses, are dead. wtf would they fight for" and yknow for a moment i would agree with you but let me get autistic for a sec

look at the language cheavy uses here in this panel

"All she had left was you rejects."

that's not just bully talk or anything, this is intentional. even with the way Saxton Hale treats Team Fortress reflects this

Bidwell's Big Plan, page 04

and even here in the main comics:

A Cold Day in Hell, page 03

they're rejects. quite literally. they get bottom of the barrel weapons, uniforms, food, even for Mann Co..

i'm of the personal belief that the 9 unnamed mercenaries and the teufort 9 are constantly being either exchanged in the unnamed cases, or transferred across team RED and BLU appropriately. autobalanced. some mercenaries have been on certain teams longer than others, like BLU Soldier and RED Demoman YEAH THAT'S RIGHT THIS ROLLS RIGHT BACK TO WAR UPDATE BABY FUCK YOU YOU CANT ESCAPE IT

but the reason i say this is because before the events of the animated shorts (excluding meet the team) or the mainline comics, i have a headcanon the teufort 9 were giving the nameless mercs too much trouble for what they were worth, so they just shoved them all together on the same team, hoping they would just kind of fight it out like pathetic rabid dogs.

what ended up happening was these losers formed the strongest found-family bonds in the history of the universe.

demo and soldier in the mainline comics are still clearly very tense with one another after the events of WAR!, even though they're on the same team (or lack thereof rather). WAR! is still very much canon past the update comics. this is my excuse for changing team colors on their ship and calling it the same people constantly

ANYWAYS yeah. tldr: the mercs are autobalanced a lot and i think there's canonical evidence to prove it . this and clone teams are very near and dear to my heart

BLOG TAG GUIDE

If you're on mobile and you want to find a specific tag, you'll have to either find a post with that tag, or use the links below. (Or you can chance the search bar).

If you're on desktop, you'll find the majority of common tags in the header or the dropdown menus; or, you can enter a search/tag directly into the address bar.

See below for how tags work.

FILTERING TAGS

#tf2oc is the tag for non-canon characters. This includes all OCs, even those from fan-created subfandoms. This tag does not include headcanoned BLU characters until they are named.

The tag that applies to people's self-inserts or online personas is #sona. Sonas will be marked with OC tags if and only if the sona is developed as a character within universe.

#tf2shipart is the tag for ship art. It will (with very rare exceptions) be attached to any art that depicts characters in a romantic capacity, including canon romances.

#horror concerns elements of horror that exist outside of the normal scope of TF2 (such as cryptid horror), while #toneclash concerns elements of horror, melancholy, or otherwise negativity that exists within the confines of TF2 (such as respawn horror).

Depictions of violence that are in some way unusual (in context, intensity, or seriousness) are tagged #mercviolence. This tag only applies to strictly canon characters.

#fansfanservice concerns art which has as its main purpose eliciting physical attracting in the viewer (as judged by art type, composition, captions, and people having Moments in the tags).

#suggestive concerns art that alludes to, in composition or outright, suggestive topics. It does not include jokes or offhand mentions.

#AU concerns art which takes place in an alternate universe. Note that this is a comparatively new tag, so some older posts may not filter properly.

CHARACTER-ORIENTED TAGS

Ships are catalogued in class order, with no spaces, like so: #scoutsoldier.

Should art concern romance or attraction focussed from many mercs onto a single merc, the tag will be the merc's class followed by an [x], like so: #scoutx

Canon characters are catalogued under the following tags: #scout, #soldier, #pyro, #demoman, #heavy, #engineer, #medic, #sniper, #spy, #zhanna, #pauling, #saxton, #administrator, #gray, #blutarch, #redmond, #merasmus, #ma, #bidwell, #archimedes, #balloonicorn, #silas (alive and HHH), #radigan, #tilly, #reddy, barnabus, #yana, #bronislava, #chickengirl, #casterwitch, #olivia, #zepheniah, #oldnick, #billy, #monoculus, #bombinomicon, #mrsmundy

TFC characters are catalogued under the following tags: #cheavy, #fred [engineer], #virgil [sniper], #beatrice [pyro], #cmedic. If a character has no canon name, and their tag is not listed here, their tag will be their class name with a 'c' appended to the beginning.

Robots are catalogued under the following tags: #scoutbot, #soldierbot, #pyrobot, #demobot, #heavybot, #engineerbot, #medicbot, #sniperbot, #spybot, #sentrybuster. Robots are not tagged for size.

The following semi-archetypal characters are tagged without the OC tag: #pootisbird, #spycrab, #kiwisniper, #tinydeskengineer, #medimedes, #engiebee, #breadmonster

#[ocname]from[creator] is primarily intended for more widespread works, but every OC has their own tag that can be searched accordingly, which may be useful if the OC themself has fanart. For Tumblr users, [creator] will be their URL. The exception to this rule is established TF2 freaks, who are tagged to [freakfortress] instead. 10th classes are tagged by class name where it will cause RED and BLU variants of a single tenth class to be collated, or if a real name is not provided.

[medics-secret-shipfic-folder]

gosh!!!i recently stumbled across this blog and let me just say i couldn’t be happier that i did!! your art and fic are both so amazing (and you might of single handedly gotten me obsessed with cmedic, i absolutely LOVE how you characterize him istg), but i wish you luck in future fic and art endeavors! i managed to binge your fic and it has my heart absolutely gripping for more.

i can and will obsess and draw the 4 main boys forever now,

thank you :)))

(*also ps* - if you have anymore cute or sweet headcannons about these boys i would love to hear them)

Eyy! Happy to hear more people are finding my fanfic! Honestly, I started writing TBTF as a giant shitpost but I genuinely wasn't expecting it to get so much attention!

Also YES! MORE PEOPLE LIKING CMEDIC! Out of all the characters I've written, Cmedic is arguably the one I've put the most effort into because...well, he HAS no character. He was seen in a single frame of the comic, so I HAD to make a personality for him from whole cloth if I wanted him to be a protagonist.

I genuinely love how he's coming along.

As for headcanons:

Medic is Jewish and carries around a Star of David his mother gave him. While not as religious as his family, he still holds onto it to remind him of where he came from.

Cmedic is Haitian America, but was born in Connecticut. He and his father are practitioners of Haitian Vodou. They specifically worship Maman Bridgette, a loa of death and a protector of cemeteries.

In addition, Cmedic has a unique view of death because of his upbringing. Maman Bridgette is a reminder that death is not to be feared, but respected as the natural conclusion of life. Her purpose is to tend to the dead and remind the living to cherish their time on Earth and live each day to the fullest (This will be a MAJOR plotpoint later)

Cheavy was born and raised in Oregon. Cheavy had a very rough childhood with an abusive, hyper-religious father and siblings who constantly pinned bad behavior on him to avoid their father's ire. Cheavy has a very poor relationship to his family and cut off all ties with them sometime after joining BLU.

Despite this, Cheavy remains in contact with his mother, who was the only person in his childhood who actually cared about him. Cheavy learned how to bake and knit from her, but he could never pursue these hobbies because of his father's rigid idea of gender roles.

Heavy's father actually sought out the help of a certain mafia when he was rebelling against the Soviet government. This mafia apparently remains in contact with Heavy's family years after his father's death, but neither Heavy nor his sisters know about this. Heavy's mother kept the truth under tight wraps, but the truth will come out in a few chapters >:]

While Cheavy and Cmedic can both pinpoint the exact date when Cmedic disappeared from the team, neither of them can actually remember what happened that night. Apparently both of them have repressed the memory...

@blu-cheavy-main I’m probably exhausted but I’m losing my mind at this jshdjshjshsksjs

About

Welcome to yet another TF2 headcanon blog, I hope you enjoy your stay. Call me Spy. My main blog is @deerskull-stuff and my main art blog is @deerskull-art!

In this house we're inclusive of all headcanons and ideas, but please be aware that my *personal* headcanons will different to other peoples! I'll take headcanon requests for specific characters and ships, but I won't take anything to do with Cheavy/Medic or anything to do with merc/reader kind of deals because they make me uncomfortable!! Please respect that thanks. I tend to stick to engiespy, sniperspy, medicspy, heavymedic and engiemedic (essentially, support + heavy and engie lol) but I'm more than happy to write hcs for any ship!!

I also have OCs that I will talk about here, which will be tagged under "oc talk" if anyone doesn't want to see that. They consist of: Max Headshot (BLU Sniper); Alois Krause (Neutral Medic); Isaac Lopez (Neutral Pyro); Elliot King (Neutral Demoman); Oswin "Rogue" Clément (Neutral Spy); René Clément (RED Spy); and Reinhardt Otto (BLU Medic). I'm open to answering questions about them too!! René and Reinhardt are closer to "canon" Spy and Medic, while the rest are more original OCs.

Alongside my own headcanons and art that I'll make, I'll also be reblogging stuff from other people! This includes hcs, art and incorrect quotes. They will be queued under the tag "right behind queue" because I am just a littol creacher who associates with Spy very much.

That's it for this introduction! Don't be afraid to ask me any questions and please send in some asks for hcs and such! I'll even take art requests from time to time!

tf2 mercs and pets

ive been writing on this since yesterday and now im sick of it so heres a lot of words i made to distract myself from my father #animal abuse #abuse #physical abuse #antisemitism #insects #spiders #dogs #cats #birds #snakes #long post #text heavy

-medic, obviously, has a LOT of experience with birds. his mother had a cockatoo that he was basically raised with, and throughout his childhood he would always try to befriend the wild birds around their home [on the occasion he was allowed outside, that is]. in college/med school, he kept up that same trend, earning a less than stellar reputation as "that weird fucker who tries to climb trees around campus to get a better look at the birds’ nests", alongside his other reputations, "the weird gay jew who doesnt understand personal space" and "probably the cause of at least three "disappearances" throughout the semester since they were last seen harassing him"

-BLU engie gets ein[the canary] after a family member dies, they werent particularly close but the guy didnt have a will or any friends willing to take the bird, and engie was basically the closest living relative available [note: only BLU engie has the canary, not RED engie, and he recieves it a few years after joining the mercs]

-pyro kept the dalmation puppy they take in the comics, and he's a big comfort for them, they'll sometimes spend hours just playing with him or hugging him to calm themselves down from a panic attack; funny thing is, no one's entirely sure what pyro NAMED him, not even the people who can usually understand pyro's mumbles[engie, medic, solly, demo]. all 4 of them seem to hear completely different things so theyve just kind of accepted as a group that the dog has four different names that are all equally valid

-pyro also loves a lot of bugs, BLU py had a pet praying mantis for a while until the administrator made everyone move bases again, this time to a much colder climate- they were worried the mantis wouldn't survive the lower temperatures and released it before they left; theyve also kept tarantulas, ants, and stag beetles before -engie is also really into ant keeping and he and pyro bond over that, engie builds big elaborate setups for their ant colonies

-medic talks to birds, a lot, and seems to hold full conversations with them a lot of the time. not just his pigeon flock, either, but any bird- from sparrows to falcons to parakeets

-demo volunteers at the "kitten orphanage" shown in end of the line- hed work at the regular human orphanage too, but... he has too many bad memories of his own time as an "orphan". the kittens all love him, engie will sometimes come by to find demo sprawled on the floor on his back, three kittens on his chest, one asleep on his neck, one kneading its paws on his cheek, one chewing on his shoe...

-medic doesnt understand dogs. hes not scared of them, not really, he just. doesnt understand how they work. he cant read their body language at ALL and he was rarely around them as a child. he's ok with cats, though he still cant understand their body language that well, and sometimes irritates the shyer or more aggressive ones by being too affectionate- he only blames himself for getting scratched/bit though

-spy says he never had pets growing up, which is probably a lie- he just doesnt want to give anyone any information about his childhood and family life. he's mentioned once or twice that he wouldnt mind getting a pet snake, though, which engie thought was fucking hilarious and fitting

-scout actually didnt have pets growing up- her family spent a lot of time trying to make ends meet, and a tiny, shitty apartment w/ her, her ma, and her 7 siblings wasnt exactly an optimal environment for a pet. she always liked cats, though, and mice, and after she joins the mercs she grows to really love birds, too, because theyre Everywhere at the bases

-[RED] demo got his parrot, joyce, from BLU soldier[only RED demo has the birdman of aberdeen in my hcs]. solly found it in a bush somewhere as a chick, and brought it to demo. demo has no fucking clue how the hell jane managed to find a baby parrot out in the badlands, but he winds up taking her in, getting a lot of help from medic to get adjusted [medic is absolutely delighted and fawns over joyce the whole fucking time he loves her so much]

-demo's really worried for the longest time that he wont be able to take care of joyce properly ["i can barely keep myself together, how'm i supposed to keep you alive?"]  but he grows to really love her and she becomes an emotional support animal for him, on some of his worst days he keeps himself from drinking himself into a blackout by keeping her busy and happy

-she becomes even more important to him after the WAR update events, as a living reminder of his old relationship with jane; it hurts him sometimes to look at her and remember the grin on jane's face when she first handed him that parrot chick, but he loves joyce anyway and nothing's gonna change that

-demo also used to own lizards, he's partial to bearded dragons

-both RED and BLU solly are licensed falconers and wildlife rehabilitators. no one's entirely sure how. but its the reason shes allowed to have her Horde of Raccoons and also her fucking bald eagle [note: BLU solly is the one with the Compatriot, RED solly is the one with LT bites and the other raccoons]

-engie grew up with farm animals, because of course. he's good with horses, pigs, cattle, and sheep, and working dogs. one of the times the mercs had their bases relocated, they wound up in texas so RED engie took everyone out to his family's old farm [he pays to have it taken care of while his dad's... gone and he's w/ the mercs]

-spy flips the fuck out when he realizes just how fucking huge hogs are. then someone[scout] absolutely knocks spy into the mud with the pigs and he gets trampled and everyone laughs. also spy is mildly terrified of horses. spy does not have a good time at dell's farm

-speaking of terrified of horses, demo,

well really he's not terrified, hes just distrustful. it takes a long time for tavish to warm up to engie's horses, with a lot of reassuring from dell that hes not doing something wrong

-medic's pigeons are extremely affectionate and loyal to him, first and foremost. at least one or two accompany him at pretty much all times, except for when they're locked into their aviary at night. they also love heavy, scout, and pyro, and like/tolerate everyone else

-heavy loves birds. his family has a lot of chickens, and hes very partial to them; he also has a parakeet, who his sisters take care of while he's with the mercs. RED heavy is the one that finds the red army robin; he sees an injured little bird in the snow and he brings it to medic

-jane “soldier” doe cannot take care of cats or dogs or other normal pets for the life of her but if you hand her an injured wild porcupine and say "hey, how do i take care of this" she'll know exactly what to do; sometimes both soldiers will just come out onto the battlefield bottlefeeding a squirrel or something, and somehow artfully dodge enemy fire while shooting rockets AND feeding a baby animal. how's that for multitasking

-scout's ma, peg, has a cockatiel that she gets after all her children have left the nest, so to speak. scout teaches it to whistle happy birthday and demonstrates that on peg's birthday and its sweet

-heavy has a very specific [canonical, at least w/ "pokernight at the inventory"] childhood memory of watching a boy kill a sparrow, w/ the implication that the memory haunts him a little bit; seeing the injured robin brought that memory to the surface, and it freaked him out more than he'd like to admit. he was kind of panicking when he asked for medic's help, but trying desperately not to show it

-spy hates dogs. he hates horses. he hates insects. he tolerates cats. but most damning of all, he hates birds. thats a big problem with at least half of the base loving or at least liking birds, and with all the pigeons/doves everywhere

-it takes YEARS before spy stops insulting or scolding medic's pigeons every time he gets the chance, and the main reason he stops is because medic absolutely was NOT having it... still though, spy has his limits. he never hurt any of medic's birds, or anyone else's pets, because he may be a mercenary but he does have some standards. mostly

-this is notable, because, hahahhhhhhh. im gonna eventually make a much longer post about this, but medic has a fair amount of Trauma[tm] from dealing with classic heavy's abusive bullshit; the thing is though, cheavy realized quickly that medic could handle being yelled at or physically punished for his mistakes or his worse quirks... but he had a very vulnerable flock of pigeons with him, that he regarded as family and who meant the world to him

-the scene in the comics where cheavy grabs archimedes tight and throws him to the ground was not an isolated incident, is what im saying. though it /was/ one of the more violent ones, since after a few threats and a few times of cheavy proving he absolutely would follow through on his threats, medic got the hint

-through his time working w/ the classics, medic becomes more secluded and on edge, and more prone to breakdowns and fits; and even more protective of his flock, urging them multiple times to fly away and leave him, to find heavy or scout or SOMEONE and stay with them, that he would come back for them when he could[but they always refused to leave him]... the baboon infant incident was a long time coming and he only held off on detonating it as long as he did through sheer willpower and a healthy fear of retribution

-ANYWAY. projecting aside.

-scout /would/ get a cat from the kitten orphanage but shes worried it would try to kill or eat some of medic's doves, since they basically free roam the base; so instead she goes by with demo sometimes to play with the cats and its Good

-ms pauling is a big dog person, and i mean that both in the "she really loves dogs" way and in the "she loves dogs that are Massive" way; she grew up with newfoundlands and bully breeds and shes still got a big soft spot for them; she has two shelter dogs, one's an 11 y/o pit+rottie, the other is a 7 y/o mutt that has some st bernard in it and who's blind in one eye; she spoils them rotten

-engie is really into fishkeeping and after all this merc business is over, he wants to have big fucking tanks installed in his home; hes also surprisingly passionate about the proper treatment of fish, like, he nearly decked spy once for saying betta fish just needed a fishbowl and not a whole aquarium setup

-medic has stolen at least a couple fancy pigeons from pigeon shows, mostly the ones that have been bred to an unhealthy degree to fit show standards, he spends a lot of time trying to give them the best care he can and maybe undo the effects of years of awful breeding 

-i literally dont care about sniper so he gets no headcanons

im tired
