[greenegem]

Said if I could get around to it and I got around, sorta. It's a quick thrown together proof of concept 😤😅 between other projects. But it was fun!

My take on lenny-link's tf2su au SpeedingBullet fusion to match with my fanfic! Doing half human fusions are hard cause of the weird physical clothes so my solution to that was to just ignore that shit lol.

I'm still ??? on the hat 😔. He feels naked without one but I just can't decide...

[lenny-link]

this is so perfect im gonna die •ू(ᵒ̴̶̷᷄ωᵒ̴̶̷᷅*•ू) )੭ु⁾⁾ ♡♡

i had a bunch of screencaps that i wanted to redraw with the au and this was one of them but obviously you made it much better than i could’ve ever done (♡´艸`)

Did a quick redraw of Steven universe screencap but its Pearl!Pauling and Bidwell from @lenny-link 's TF2/SU AU

[lenny-link]

um,, engiespy yuri,,,,,,,plez,,,,,,

i love old women yuri <<33

bro the way that i gave up on all the other fanarts i was working on, art requests, art trades, biocomputing homework, enzyme engineering assignments, life projects, studying, eating, breathing since i received this ask a few days ago, because my brain couldn’t stop thinking about these two old gay ladies being in love

i thought engiespy was my otp but femengiespy now thats something else

also the "experiment 08" is obviously a reference for "expiration date" it rhymes lol

(i know its just a single letter changing but idk they all give a different vibe and i just couldnt choose one :p)

edit: you can suggest other names if you wish in the comments! :D

@lenny-link ’s TF2 x SU AU is super cool so I tried to make my own

So basically, the concept is that while @lenny-link ’s is the TF2 characters in the SU Universe, mine is that it’s the TF2 mechanics in the SU universe.

So the concept is: there are 5 diamonds. Red, Blue, Grey, Yellow and Purple. Each class is a specific type of gem, and that’s part of how they respawn so quickly and always have different outfits-they’re all different versions of the same gem in two different colors. Pauling and Bidwell are the pearls ofc, but there’s also Reddy and Jerry who are different gems (I don’t know which ones yet) and work under yellow diamond. They fight for land near a town (Teufort) on earth, where the civilians think they’re all aliens trying to destroy the town.

and that’s all I have :)

“You get ten seconds,” said Milton. “Ten… nine…” Hosea could glimpse movement from inside the bank. Bill rushing to the back of the room. Dutch handing the saddlebag over his shoulder off to Micah. “Eight… seven… six…” For as long as he had known him, Hosea had known Dutch’s greatest strength and his greatest failing to be one and the same. He was willing to do anything. “Five… four…” What would be the consequence this time? What new direction would Dutch send the gang spinning off in? Hosea couldn’t predict it. He never could. “Three… two…” When it came down to the wire, when all other options were exhausted, when lives were on the line, what would Dutch van der Linde do? “One.”

A what-if alternate universe in which Hosea survives the St. Denis bank robbery, lives to see the downward spiral of the gang, and knows he has to do something.

This idea has been *well* over a year in the coming-up-with and will likely be just as long (or even longer) in the actually-writing. So come along with me as I set out on another extremely long passion project labor of love. I hope you enjoy the ride!

And of course thank you as always to the ever wonderful @rhys-is-puffs for helping me get this crazy idea off the ground and for their endless support :)

[lenny-link]

OOOH This looks so cool!!! ( ���｡╹o╹｡)｣

I like how as you said he looks like a "multicolored crayon" character because Pyro would prefer it this way and Engie would definitely agree on it, its so cute!! and i super like the four hands holding the wranglers honestly it’s genius !

He looks so awesome !! ！(@＾▽＾@）♥︎♥︎

I saw the TF2 X Steven Universe AU from @lenny-link and i couldn’t rest until i brought a pyro and engineer fusion to the table until realizing it was done already though I didn’t see that until a little too late lmao, (It’s pretty cool though, check it out) anyways, here’s tourmaline.

[greenegem]

Everyone was just making such amazing shit for @lenny-link's TF2SU Au that I just had to jump on the bandwagon! SO boom, fic for ya. First TF2 work for me but that's just cause I haven't posted my wips yet, if you liked then more to come!

Did I work on this instead of the other TF2 fics and BG3 fics I should be finishing? Yes. Yes I did.

Do I regret tip tap typing this up for two days? No. No I don't.

Enjoy.

A bit of an explanation for my choice of Sniper's gem, Speeding Bullet fusion gem and design, and my vague thoughts for someone else's idea below the "more".

Trying to think of a way for the gem to fit a preexisting character is so difficult but I eventually settled on an Amber for Sniper for a few reasons. Simple things considered at first of course like it being the color of his shooting glasses and how it sort of gives me Australian landscape under the sun vibes. BUT it's the other stuff that's more fun! Amber let's me play with the comic's story of Medic bringing him back to life and gives Spy a legitimate reason for his distaste for the bushman AND why Scout and him share a special bond. Amber while often cut to be a gemstone is not a gemstone, made from prehistoric sap as we know. So I decided to make him a Homeworld experiment (think the clusters) with Medic being the gem to bring him to fruition. Spy doesn't like him because at his core he isn't a gem, which is the exact reason Scout and him start to become close. Similar to Amethyst and Steven, Scout and Sniper are unlike any other and in that otherness they found each other.

Brings a real tear to the eye, doesn't it?

Amber is fun too cause it can produce static electricity!

As for the fusion? Well that is trickier.

I wanted to follow Rebecca Sugar's guidelines for a fusion as much as possible meaning that the fusion is not an amalgamation of the two beings but a personification of their relationship. That and the more humanoid they look the more attuned and close the relationship is.

To me, Scout and Sniper are a bit of the opposites attract trope. WHICH I LOVE. Sniper is insecure in himself, awkward in social situations and struggling his way through most of his relationships not for lack of trying, but put him into a professional setting and he shines. He knows he's a good shot so doesn't worry about taking it. Scout on the other hand is unapologetically himself, loud and proud and confident (has to be when growing up with all those brothers), but professionally I always headcanon him as second guessing his abilities. He's not necessarily worse than the others but he is not as confident about it, feeling the need to boast himself up to cover his insecurities. Scout is loud where Sniper is quiet, energetic where Sniper is calm, and up in the air where Sniper is grounded. Together in their relationship (and in their fusion) they sort of fill in the blanks, balancing one another out. They build each other up, trying new experiences and finding joy in doing them together. Confident and self-assured with more of an ease to social interaction.

So what gem does that leave us with then? Well I chose Unakite (and not just because I love it, though I do). The stone's whole fancy shmancy meaning is all about balance and the colors within representing the Earth with the greens (where Scout is born from and in a way in this fic so is Sniper) and love and compassion in the pinks/reds. Unconditional love, emotional tether? Need I say more?

Look wise was most difficult and I'm still not happy with it which is why I mostly glossed over it in the fic.

The problem with "Steven" fusions with gems is that his clothes are not made of light like the gems are so they just end up sitting in a way on top of the final form. I kind of hate this and fused them a little bit (love the idea of the jacket being worn over the shoulders Kanji persona 4 style but with his dog-tags creating like a lapel chain to keep it attached? OOO!!) but mostly just left it to the imagination cause ugh. Why. For some reason I also really wanted to put them in Scallywag pants but I refrained (for now).

Body wise I thought the light olive green skin tone with red/pink freckles, spots and the like, would look really cute and somewhat make sense coming from a pink and yellow gem. I kept the fusion pretty human like sort of like Garnet, only adding the extra eyes (and even those I hid behind Sniper's shades lol. I imagine them being like the cool kid with his shades pulled down his nose).

As for a weapon I gave them a big ole slingshot, think Usopp's Kabuto for scale. Made the top a similar look to a baseball diamond cause I'm fun like that.

AND THEN THE HARDEST PART. The hat. They need a hat. Like come on, they do. Sniper is NAkEd without it and Scout kinda sorta wears one too. I couldn't decide though! SO I left it as a joke. Fill in the blank hat as you will. Let me know what y'all would think is best.

Think that's it. If I have time between TMayNT and writing/making my other TF2 fanfics and art I might draw em but we. shall. see.

If you made it this far you have my very green but healthy I promise heart.

Rest Now, Dear Boy

read on Ao3

words: 2195

Hosea reflects on Arthur beginning to trust him and Dutch as a teenager as he watches him harbor the same fondness towards Lenny. Later, he wonders where it all went wrong.

--

1877, Spring

Hosea sat on a log, watching the embers from the campfire as they slowly rose toward the starry sky. He wasn’t sure how late it was, but he wouldn’t even think about sleep yet. It was hard not to worry when Dutch insisted on scoping this new area out on his own, but once he got the idea in his head, he couldn’t be dissuaded. It was something Hosea both loved and hated about him.

His gaze slid to his left, where Arthur sat beside him, a thin blanket pulled around his shoulders. His half-lidded eyes blinked slowly at the fire that illuminated his tired, young face. Despite it all, despite their situation, Hosea and Dutch tried their hardest to give a fourteen-year-old everything he could need, including enough rest, and it was definitely past the time he usually went to sleep. Hosea smiled as he took in the boy. “You ought to go to bed, Arthur. It’s late.”

“No,” he mumbled, managing to lift his gaze to Hosea for a moment before returning it to the fire. “Wanna wait ‘till Dutch gets back.”

They’d found him a little over a year ago, and he was stubborn, perhaps just as much as Dutch. They seemed to get along well for that reason, and Hosea found it incredibly endearing. He never would have pegged Dutch as being a good father figure, but he’d done very well. They both had, considering how loyal Arthur had become after their very rough start.

Figuring this wasn’t a battle worth having, he simply shrugged. “Suit yourself.”

Quiet cricket chirps and gentle crackling flames filled the quiet that followed as Hosea turned his gaze up to the star-filled sky. It had to be the middle of the night, perhaps even later, and Dutch had left hours ago. Hosea worried, just as he always did, but Dutch always had a plan. He’d find a way to come back to him.

Noticing movement out of the corner of his eye, Hosea blinked out of his thoughts, watching Arthur’s head slowly dip downward - the poor boy was falling asleep sitting up straight. Without thinking, Hosea reached up, gently cradling Arthur’s head to guide it toward his shoulder. If he was awake, he didn’t fight it, and instead seemed content by the situation. Hosea held his head for a moment, sandy hair beneath his fingers, craning his neck to get a better look. Arthur’s face was completely slack, his mouth slightly open, the firelight dancing across his cheekbones.

Hosea’s heart burst full of warmth as he gently let go of the boy’s head to instead sling an arm around his shoulders for extra support. It had taken months to earn Arthur’s trust, and every day he was proving that they had earned it. Hosea felt special, like he was chosen, like he was really his father. He wanted to live in this moment for as long as he could.

Arthur felt warm against him, and despite his worry about Dutch, Hosea could feel a strong sense of peace wash over him.

He didn’t quite know how much time had passed until he heard quiet footsteps in the grass. He knew those footsteps well enough that he didn’t have to turn around or be on edge. Dutch approached the fire, placing a few fish beside it, and turned around to face them both. He seemed surprised at the sight before him, but said what he needed to say quietly and with a fond smile.

“There’s a small town nearby, not a lot of folks, but they seem nice enough. Stole a watch we can pawn off in the morning.” Dutch’s gaze drifted toward Arthur’s sleeping frame. “…What’s this about?”

Hosea smiled. “He wanted to wait up for you to get back.”

Blinking, Dutch approached them cautiously, sweeping some hair from Arthur’s eyes in a way that was so gentle it made Hosea’s heart flutter. “He’ll make a fine man someday,” he murmured proudly, and Hosea couldn’t help but agree. 

Carefully, Dutch placed his hands around Arthur; one on his back, one underneath him, and lifted him carefully. With his head against Dutch’s chest, Arthur blinked sleepily up at him. “Dutch…?”

“It’s okay, son. You’re safe, go back to sleep.”

With some wonder, Hosea watched as the words seemingly put Arthur under a spell, making him close his eyes again almost right away. Dutch knelt down beside the bedroll and slowly lowered Arthur into it, careful not to jostle him too much. Once he was laying there comfortably, Dutch pulled the blankets over him, sweeping hair out of his eyes once again.

Hosea walked over to kneel beside Dutch, and together they watched their boy for a moment. He looked so young like this. They knew they would miss it some day, but they also looked forward to the future, turning him into a man like them.

Perhaps they were selfish, to take a boy and turn him into an outlaw, give him a life of danger. But his life before had been even worse. They couldn’t give him the life he deserved, but they could at least give him as good a life as they could manage.

Dutch placed an arm around Hosea’s shoulders. Everything seemed right.

“Good night, dear boy.”

***

Spring, 1899

Horseshoe Overlook still bustled after a few hours with much quieter, drunken celebration. With Sean’s return, everyone’s spirits had been considerably lifted, and for one night, nobody was thinking about Blackwater. For one night, everyone was happy.

Javier’s sweet voice carried on a soft breeze, filling Hosea with a sense of peace as he sat on a nearby picnic table to watch the scene in front of him without being a part of it. Much of the gang had already gone to sleep, leaving just a few left by the campfire. Arthur, Charles, Lenny, Micah, Bill, and Javier all sat in a small circle with variations of bottles and cigarettes in hand. 

For a moment, Hosea’s unease, which had been consistently fluctuating since a little before Blackwater, washed over him again. They needed a good, solid plan, but Dutch didn’t have one, no matter what he said. Hosea figured he was still pretty rattled from their losses, and he wanted to check on him, but Dutch often waved him away. It was something he always struggled with. He never wanted to talk about himself when he had all of these people to look after. Hosea admired it about him, but he also truly worried about him.

The unease slowly dissipated as applause filled the air, replacing the song that had just ended. Bill began praising Javier, but Hosea’s attention was completely on Arthur now, noticing a difference from a few moments before.

His expression was somewhat uncomfortable, his body stiff, and the reason was obvious. Lenny, perhaps at some point during the song, had leaned himself against Arthur’s arm, no doubt the alcohol running through his body making him unable to fight off the sleep that came for him. For a moment, Hosea considered walking over there to help Arthur out, wake the poor boy so he could go to bed, but when no one else was looking, Arthur slung an arm around Lenny’s shoulders, supporting his smaller frame against him. 

As the fire flickered, Hosea could have sworn he saw a smile on Arthur’s face. Just as quickly as he saw it, it was wiped away as Micah, Bill, and Javier stood up, the former scoffing at the sight. “Look at’chu, Morgan. I knew you was gettin’ soft. And for Lenny? Here, I’ll shove him off for you, since I’m such a nice feller -”

“Hands off, Micah,” Arthur hissed, which stopped the man in his tracks. Bill and Javier exchanged a surprised look. Charles attempted to suppress a smile. “He ain’t goin’ nowhere. It’s your own fault he don’t like you.”

Micah grinned, chuckling as he threw his hands up in a dramatized surrender motion. “Oooh, feelin’ feisty tonight. Don’t you scare the boy off, now, Morgan, he may throw up on your boots.”

Javier whistled, and Bill nudged his shoulder, grinning. “If any feller fell asleep on Micah, he wouldn’t wake up in the mornin’.”

From where he sat on the other side of Arthur, Charles rolled his eyes. “Would you just drop it? Go to bed, all of you. You’re drunk.”

“‘M not gonna do anything you say -” Micah slurred, pointing a heavy finger in Charles’ direction, but the other two exchanged another look. There wasn’t going to be a fight, not during a party, not even during the last hours of it.

Javier nudged Micah forward. “C’mon, amigo , we’ll play some poker tomorrow.” Bill followed.

Quiet fell. Hosea watched the three men make their way to their tents, then slid his gaze back to the remaining three. Their voices were much quieter now, but he could still hear some of it.

“Thank you, Charles.” Arthur sounded tired as he carefully removed Lenny’s hat, setting it down on the log beside him.

“Any time.” 

Hosea smiled to himself, his heart bursting the same way it had that night all those years ago. He and Dutch had raised this boy the best they could - they hadn’t given him a great life, but they’d given him as good a life as they could manage. More than anything, Hosea loved seeing how big his heart had become, how much he was opening it to others; Lenny, like Hosea did for Arthur all that time ago, and Charles, perhaps in the unspoken way Hosea and Dutch cared for each other.

The jingle of spurs filled the silence that followed, and although he knew who it was, Hosea still looked over his shoulder at the man, not bothering to hide the fact that he was still smiling, unable to hold in the fondness he was feeling. Dutch, raising a brow, stopped just before the table. “Haven’t seen your eyes sparkle like that in a while, Mr. Matthews. What’s goin’ on?”

Hosea chuckled, the formality of it still so endearing as he turned his gaze toward the three men still left by the campfire. “Just…feelin’ proud of our boy, is all.”

Quietly, Dutch slid in to sit next to Hosea on the bench, following his gaze. Charles and Arthur still spoke to each other quietly while Lenny slept away, no doubt comforted by the closeness of his companions. Dutch smiled, wordlessly placing an arm around Hosea’s shoulder, confident of the darkness of night that shrouded them from prying eyes.

Hosea leaned his head against Dutch’s shoulder, and everything was right with the world.

Don't have to draw his face if I only draw them kissing ☝️🤓

Wettkönige is real Mausiiiis!!!!! <33333 😤💪❤️‍🔥💯

[lenny-link]

HOLY MOLY THIS IS AWESOME

No but honestly you recreated that scene so perfectly it looks like it was a screenshot from the show! Your lineart is so clean!!!! (☆▽☆)

I love love love love your fusion design its so perfect!! (♡ˊ͈ ॢ꒳ ॢˋ͈)♪

🎶 Suddenly they were fusing Beautiful, strange, confusing 🎶

Past Andalusite [Heavy + Medic] design based off of this drawing by @honeysparklesmash

TF2 x SU AU by @lenny-link

A few side notes:

First and foremost; Here's the original screenshot from the Steven Universe Movie that I redrew from :') Ngl, the background was a pain in the ass to try and recreate, and even tho' I'm not happy with how the bg looks on my drawing, I decided it was good enough 🚶

This drawing was a result of this poll I did! :] For a while, the "DnD Setting" choice on the poll was leading, but by the end of the poll, the "TF2 x SU" choice ended up winning by just a couple of votes. So thanks to y'all that voted :')

For this drawing, I ended up making a new pen for specifically trying to recreate the lineart used for cartoons and whatnot. I think it looks pretty alright 👌

This is probably the most amount of hands I've drawn in one drawing. Drew fucking seven hands and managed to hide one of them o(-( AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--

[Update] I wasn't quite satisfied with the background after all and ended up fixing it up a tiny bit. The different is barely noticeable, but idc 💃

[2nd Update] Just touched up a lil' bit with the lineart in the somewhat see-through jacket. Wanted those lines to look a tad lighter to make it less cluttered 👍

[windswept-angel]

raymond everett they can never make me hate you

[soursweethart]

Happy Birthday @lenny-link !

Sorry if this is late. I just heard it was your birthday.

I am sort of new to the TF2 fandom and you are one of my favorite TF2 artists! I hope you have an amazing birthday! Also, thank you for the positive feedback on my art! <3

[lenny-link]

OMG this looks absolutely beautiful !! •ू(ᵒ̴̶̷᷄ωᵒ̴̶̷᷅*•ू) )੭ु⁾⁾

Everything is just so amazing !! I love the little changes you put! Spy’s pants, Sniper’s shoes/socks (?) its so interesting !! i might consider making some changes maybe maybe 🤔 and @gracefireheart ‘s awesome Andalusite fusion coming back again!!

The drawing of the whole gang posing is so epic!! (ᵒ̤̑ ₀̑ ᵒ̤̑)*✰

And the Tourmaline fusion! Oh this one is very cool !! I especially love the third arm coming from his back thats a pretty original concept and the glasses are fun too ! I can already tell that he is very chaotic i mean Scout’s hyperactivity + Medic’s madness ?? This guy would be very unpredictable lol

I like his shape, colors that remind me of sour candy lol and the weapon too!

Also wait you’re telling me that these two have the same voice actress ??!

WHAT ＜(“0”)＞

Im honestly blown away［●＿●］thank you for this info ill cherish it forever

You put soo much effort in this one post and it’s so gorgeous! Thank you so much for the awesome art and kind words too :) Im happy you enjoy this silly au!

Sooo I've been obsessed with this au for a few days now and I thought.. why not use my abilities for evil

These are the designs from the tf2 x Steven Universe au by @lenny-link drawn in Steven Universe's art style! Or my best attempt at it lol.

I think the best looking ones are spy, heavy and soldier :]

Close ups↓

Also here's just the background; it's the bg from the tf2 lineup as a SU background, I'm really proud of how it looks hsjdjd

I also HAD to draw Andalusite by @gracefireheart cus good god he has taken over my entire heart. He's truly everything. The myth the legend the icon the moment. Happy pride month.

I like giving him a receding hairline cus. medic(has hair) + heavy(bald) = less hair. mathematics. The first drawing is my puny amateurish attempt at Rebecca Sugar's beautiful doodle art style. (I think I nailed the face and hair tho hehe)

(Your drawings are what introduced me to this au, I love them sm- I really hope you'll like this!!) (p.s; sorry for giving him a boob window. I wasn't strong enough.)

Aaaand my own design for a medic and scout fusion, Tourmaline! They only really form him when they both feel like wreaking havoc. he's impulsive, inattentive, hyperactive, he has no self preservation, and he's low-key dumb. When his senses kick in is usually when they unfuse. He can't see for shit and has to constantly remind himself to put on his glasses

(scout and medic shitty lil bratty kid + uncle who enables them dynamic truthers rise up)

(I had so many ideas for things I wanted to post so I thought I'd just put it all in one place gsjdjd, I hope people won't mind :'] )

[lenny-link]

good new i am not dead!
