[mickmundy]

happy bushmedicine friday everymerc! 🐊🕊

[mickmundy]

medic will text sniper a long message that's like "Good morning my darling!" and detail his entire day, how he's feeling, what he had for breakfast etc and end it with "i love you!" and sniper will reply "lysm. cant wait to see yuo." Both will have the Exact same amount of Feeling...

medic will stop open heart surgery to be like "aha! sniper texted me! hold this for just a minute, [hands mercenary on table Operating Tool]" and goes to text him back and will send him pictures of birds and other Stuff he's seen that morning

and sniper will reply with a "[heart] [thumbs up]" but he'll be up in his tower doing target practice and kicking his legs giddily and rereading medic's texts 490000000000000000 times throughout the day and Meticulously chooses emojis for his One Word Response

[mickmundy]

honestly i don't think sniper is a dirty person lol. i think he knows/accepts that Being Grody comes with his job sometimes so he'll deal with it with no fuss, and everyone enjoys working up a sweat now and then, but i don't think he's someone with Bad Hygiene, not even a little!

he clearly shaves regularly and brushes his teeth and he'd have to know how to take care of himself if he's been a survivalist and whatnot. i don't think he does Skincare Routines or Self Cares on the level that maybe spy or medic would, but i definitely wouldn't say that he like. pees all over himself or Actively Chooses to stink or "be gross". i think he knows it comes with the job/his hobbies (taxidermy, hunting, survivalism stuff) so he's like "eh whatever" but he loves hot showers and a fresh change of clothes.

i think that Because he's been out in the wilderness sleeping in buffalo corpses etc he'd Appreciate being clean that much more. like i think something he really Loves is a hot shower after a gross day on the field. hot water dries out his Already Dry/chapped skin but he doesn't care because it feels good Dammit!

and with jarate i don't think he'd keep the jars in his home either.. if he doesn't have a tiny toilet in his camper then he'd just go outside/to the base to do his business?? and he'd probably fill them while working and just keep them in his Weapon Crate for the next fight..idk

whereas like spy would just. Be So Pissed if he got Even Remotely Dirty (again he'd acknowledge work is work but wouldn't be Happy about it LOL)

medic and sniper are more like "oh well! let's get our hands dirty! >:) it'll be worth it in the end!" and spy's like "EUGHHH!" med and snip wandering around after battle and looking for dead animal corpses or Cool Stuff and spy is like "GROSS XP"! like he's not Put Off by gore (given his job) but i don't think he'd like. actively pursue it. whereas medic and sniper would be like "oh! a vulture ribcage! in tact! yippee! ^__^"

spy's like "i'm going to leave you two Freaks alone i am only interested in this stuff when it is made into a belt or shoes! >:/" and has tea with heavy and reads books and spy vents about how their bffs are gross and heavy nods and is like "da... they are.. unconventional.. ^_^;"

like in my mind they interact like this:

sniper and medic: kneeling in the dirt and giggling with their backs to spy spy: *looks over their shoulders Reluctantly (but he's nosy so he can't help it) what exactly are you two doing :| sniper: *holds up corpse of [animal] Way Too Close to spy's face (he's very enthusiastic)* look! it's perfectly preserved! :D medic: *clapping his hands Delightedly* yippee!! i am going to bleach zhe bones! ^v^ hoo hoo! spy: *Frowns In All Caps* i am Sincerely sorry I asked

My ship in 5 minutes; bushmedicine edition! Their relationship is still unfolding in my fic series, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun in the meantime! 🕊🐊

i think medic has SUPER messy handwriting, but writes neat if he's writing to sniper (because he knows sniper keeps his notes!)... and i think sniper has surprisingly neat handwriting (reffing his postcard to his parents...) but writes kinda sloppy when he's in a hurry! HEHEHE

medic is a bit clingier than sniper, but once sniper's comfortable enough in the relationship, he clings right back (and sometimes even Initiates the clinging!)! medic is definitely the handsier one so he loves picking sniper up and spinning him around and planting a big SMMMWAK! on his lips when he gets excited! hoo hoo!

as far as the trust... i think medic trusts fairly freely (RELYING on people is another matter!) because he feels like he's capable of handling anything anytime! but sniper does Not trust so freely! he trusts medic a LOT, but he still has his hangups... i wonder how that'll play out in my fic series.,., huhuhu.,.,.

Read my Medic/Sniper teammates to lovers, slow burn series here! Updates every Friday!

[mickmundy]

medic walking around dropping things flinging them around etc and sniper's just trotting behind him catching all of the expensive glassware and Science Stuff until his arms are full and he catches the Final thing on the toe of his boot and medic's like "now, where did i put the- ah! ^v^ there!" and Gently takes it from sniper's grasp and drums his fingers on it and is like "danke, spatzchen.,,. <3" and kisses him softly on the cheek and sniper gets flustered because it was so Chaste And Unexpected and drops everything....

and literally Everything shatters. just completely unsalvageable. and sniper looks/is completely mortified and is like "oh holy hell. i am SO sorry doc, i-"

medic cuts him off by laughing Loudly and he takes sniper's cheeks in his Large Gloved Hands and plants a kiss on sniper's lips and is like "ohhhohoh... my darling.. i hope to always make you drop my beakers. <3"

and sniper gives him a crooked grin out of the side of his mouth and is like "ouehhgeh.,., pphpbhpbttt.," and scoffs but the tips of his ears are Red and medic can't help but giggle a little bit and medic strokes sniper's cheekbones with his thumbs Lovingly and gives him a Tender Look and sniper gives it back...

then medic puts his hands on his hips and is like "So. will you help me clean this up while i place a Mann Co order?"

and sniper's like "yeap. yup. this's my bad." and medic Laughs Lovingly because hes in Love....

sniper Cannot stop grinning and he begins to sweep it up while medic paces around (Unintentionally, in the mess that sniper just swept up) and is like "do i want the large beakers, or the small ones?- what did i just break again?" and sniper chuckles lovingly because he's in Love!

[mickmundy]

okay i'm just gonna make a post bc i've been talking to a few people about my mermedsnip au and AAH!! here's just some thoughts...

i'm in love with the idea of sniper carrying mermedic up into his house (because medic wants to see!) and placing him in his bathtub.., and medic giggles and sprawls his tentacles out and starts picking up sniper's soap and ot keeps slipping between his tentacles and he laughs and is like hoo! hee! and he can hear sniper in the other room and sniper comes back and feeds him fish and has a beer for himself and medic's like owo can i try! and sniper chuckles and is like "s'gross. you won't like it. but sure," and medic Carefully tries it (bc of the glass bottle) and like shotguns the whole thing and hands the empty bottle back to sniper and is like "oh! it was good! ^v^ (hiccups)" and sniper's like o_o... holy dooley SKDFKSDKF

AND SO LIKE while i think medic would obviously be curious about sniper's home.,., sniper loves the ocean.. loves nature.. and HE'd be SO jealous/curious about MEDIC's home.,.,!! and so he goes to return medic to the water (lays him down in like the shallow tides) so medic can sit there but go back into the water if he needs to and medic's like "get you boat. i want to show you My World now ^v^" and sniper's like ?!?! REALLY- OKAY !!! and hurries and is like "stay put, i'll be right back," and medic giggles and nods and basks in the sun while he waits for sniper to get his boat and medic smiles and swims up to it and swims around it and is like "follow meeeee hehehee ^v^~" and sniper nods and sniper watches medic swim around/under his boat and is like sigh.,., hes so pretty.,., and they go until medic's like "aht! stop!" and stops sniper's boat with his hands and sniper nods and is like "what is it? somethin' afoot?" and medic's like "owo? well, you have two of them of course..." (<- doesn't understand the slang and thinks sniper Literally means feet) and sniper chuckles and is like "nevermind <3 why'd we stop?" and medic hooks his finger and silently tells sniper to come here and sniper leans over the edge of the boat and medic smiles up at him....

and medic's lips brush over sniper's and they both grin a little bit and medic's like "give me your breath ^v^" and gives him a breathtaking kiss (hehe) and pulls him under water and sniper gasps and finds out he can breathe underwater!!!!!!!! and medic ggigles and swims around him and is like "it's just temporary though! so let's make the most of it!!!" and picks sniper up and brings him to his pretty cavern and lays him on the bank in it and sniper's like HOLY DOOLEY!! OAO and medic's like "mhmmn.,., its not much, but its home! UvU <- he is being very modest because its amazing and sniper's never seen anything like it before.,., and medic's like "what would you like to see?" and sniper tells him about coral he enjoys looking at and animals he'd love to see up close and medic nods and is like "aheh, that's it! not a problem! ^v^" and puts his back to him and pats his shoulders and is like "come here! you carried me, now i carry you ^v^ <3" and sniper nods and wraps his arms and legs around medic and medic takes them around the ocean and sniper's like. emotional its so cool for him... and the animals don't startle bc medic is like one of them ykwim.., HEHEHEHEHEHE

Assessment: Straying from your role at a critical time in combat can lead to defeat.  Don’t let your heart cannibalize your head. But what’s the worst that could happen, really?  At best, this is going to cost your team the match. At worst, it’s going to cost you everything else.

*sniff sniff*

[mickmundy]

good bushmed recipes:

"Professionals Have Standards!" Sniper x "But Aren't You Tired Of Being Professional? Don't You Sometimes Want To Go Apenshitten?" Medic

sniper that enjoys medic's Experiments and isn't afraid of him, who is deadly/efficient but also emotionally immature/Secretly sensitive.. medic who is playful, observant and lethal, who loves being helpful But only in his Unpredictable Wild Card way.. never censors himself. Ever

medic and sniper who see each other's Drive and Devotion to their respective careers and doesn't let that get in the way of something between them (they are married to their jobs)... coming "home" to each other after Very Different Definitions of a "long hard day"...

reminding eachother to Eat Something For God's Sake and drink water bc they're both convinced they know better than the other but they're both equally semi-dysfunctional (wont admit it) and stuck in their ways but will "reluctantly" oblige bc its important to the other..

both of them getting so wrapped up in work that it's hard to wind down, hard to relax. mutual understanding that Work Is Everything but.. living is important too! medic reminding sniper to laugh/have fun and sniper helping medic tidy that Disgraceful Lab after a productive day!

both of them being Weird Only Childs but completely differently. sniper being quiet, emotionally stunted and repressed, fairly lax, while medic is In Your Face, "If You Don't Like Me That's Your Problem!", petty, the King of holding grudges...

"completing each other" by being Fundamentally Nothing alike. no love at first sight, or second or third sight even... lovers who learn each other and relish in the joy of finding those differences, paying attention to details and jotting them down or committing them to memory...

[mickmundy]

finished my profiles for medic and sniper for my bushmedicine fic series, thou giveth fever! ^u^ this covers some vague backstory and general info about them, and fun lil moodboards! html credit

very long text version under the cut!

Michael "Mick" Mundy

pronouns: he/him

dob: January 19th

country of origin: Australia

mercenary alias: Sniper

current employer: TF Industries (RED)

primary inventory

Sniper rifle (stock), SMG, kukri (razorback and cozy camper used intermittently). Carries a thermos for coffee and small snacks (jerky, granola bar, etc). Keeps herbs for improvised healing. Wears shooting glasses with prescriptions in them; nearsighted.

fighting style

Ideally prefers long distance [sniper rifle], also adept at close-range combat [kukri]. Would rather fight alone, moving from vantage point to vantage point. Assists team by calling out incoming BLUs from respawn and taking out flanking enemies.

hobbies

taxidermy, grilling, canning/preserving, botany, playing saxophone, bar games (billiards, darts, shuffleboard), hunting, bonding with his owl, horseback riding, reading (poetry, non-fiction, romance), sharpshooting, journaling, leatherworking

Prefers being on his own and doesn't like to rely on others, but will gladly lend a helping hand if you ask him. He is constantly honing his skills and places a lot of personal value on how useful he is to those around him. Sniper is sexually repressed and emotionally immature, absolutely awful at processing and understanding his own feelings.

height: 6'3" (190.5 cm)

build: "dad" body

hair: brown (mullet)

eyes: light brown

background; The following is a mix of my own personal headcanons, canon events, and my interpretation of them. This feeds into my fic series, Thou Giveth Fever.

life before Teufort (pre-game or comic events)

Sniper grew up with his parents in the Australian bush and has spent his life honing his skills as a hunter of man and beast alike. Had a strained relationship with his parents for most of his life after leaving home to work as an assassin (later mercenary). Grew up as a social outcast and prefers working alone to this day. Devotes himself completely to his work and cared little for establishing relationships (romantic or platonic) while on his travels, keeping to himself and living in a custom-converted camper van that his father had given him before he left home.

Took up big-game hunting and taxidermy as side hustles between bigger jobs and has a lot of respect for life and death. Educated himself on being a survivalist (building upon what his father had taught him growing up in an unforgiving rural area) and amassing a large knowledge of herbal remedies and tactics that helped him become the efficient hunter he is today.

employment with RED team (events of Team Fortress 2)

Works with his team by pinning and picking off BLU mercenaries at choke points and calling out enemy positions to his teammates. Moves from tower to tower as matches progress and dislikes being on the ground, but will go where he needs to in order to get the job done. Doesn't mind getting his hands dirty for the sake of the job and will do so without complaints.

Originally reluctant to join a mercenary team, Sniper eventually grew to enjoy the company of all of his coworkers, specifically Engineer, Demoman, and Spy, along with Scout. They drink together in their off time, often having to drag Sniper out of his van to do so, but he's thankful that they do. When he's not in the mood for being social (most of the time), he can be found in his camper van, or outside bonding with his Western Screech-Owl, Ser Hootsalot.

after the team's disbanding (during - post-comics)

Sniper discovers that he's been adopted and is swiftly betrayed by his biological parents. He is fatally shot by Classic Team's Sniper and was brought back to their base, where he bled out and died. He [dreamed, hallucinated] that he finally gets his parents' blessing, expressing his want to stay with them in heaven. They tell him that he's still got a lot of people that need taking care of, and Sniper wakes up on Medic's operating table, having been brought back to life by the doctor.

After the team gets back together, Sniper is still left to deal with his family home after the death of his parents (having been interrupted by Miss Pauling recruiting his help in locating Australium) and, while unbothered by the revival itself, struggles with what to do with himself when he had been ready to die and then was... denied that. By a teammate who he seldom ever spoke to, who was working with the enemy at the time, no less!

Dr. Ludwig

pronouns: he/him

dob: June 23rd

country of origin: Germany

mercenary alias: Medic

current employer: TF Industries (RED)

primary inventory

Medigun, syringe gun, ubersaw. Has no other medical supplies on hand other than his medigun and prefers to travel light. Carries a notepad and pen, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. Always wears his glasses.

fighting style

Best in close-knit groups or with powerhouse classes. Is deceptively athletic and can keep up with any teammate with ease. Sadistic and loves getting his hands dirty! Very capable and physically strong.

hobbies

baking, watching movies, learning new things, botany, reading (non-fiction), tending to his doves, practicing medicine, playing violin or accordion, sewing, listening to classical music, equestrian dressage

Enjoys working as a team and doesn't mind giving assistance when needed. Is a complete and total wildcard; likes being underestimated and knowing his own strength. Medic knows (and values) his own worth and has no problem letting others know that they need him, not the other way around. Very emotionally in-touch with himself.

height: 6'2" (187 cm)

build: burly

hair: black, gray

eyes: blue

background; The following is a mix of my own personal headcanons, canon events, and my interpretation of them. This feeds into my fic series, Thou Giveth Fever.

life before Teufort (pre-game or comic events)

Medic was an only child born to a well-off family in Germany. Not much is known about his past, and he likes it that way! He was a rebellious, unruly child who was impossible to contain, being passionate about things that personally interested him, and very little else. He cared for his parents, but never found himself missing them when he'd left home, or when they passed. Charismatic even in his youth, he had no trouble getting what he wanted, though seldom ever found himself caring about the emotional aspect of relationships, romantic or platonic. He wanted to do what he wanted, when he wanted, and had no desire to get swept up in people!

Devoting himself to his own strange, morally dubious scientific endeavors, Medic found himself signing on to work for Teufort Industries so that he could further develop what he called Uber science on the company's dime, while being given willing-and-eager test subjects for his every medical whim.

employment with RED team (events of Team Fortress 2)

Naturally, Medic spends most of his time conducting research on the science of his uber technology. He isn't a doctor because he has a medical license or for some higher-calling to help the sick and needy... he's in it for himself and his own gain, first and foremost! That doesn't mean he's heartless; Medic can be kind and sensitive, and even with his lack of social graces (despite what he'll tell you!), his teammates still regard him as a good coworker, even if they don't know much about him. You'll never know which side of Medic you'll get, and if you want consistent healing, it's best to be good to him; he can hold one hell of a grudge!

There's nobody's company that he cherishes more than his best friend Archimedes, a dove that he stole and would be the first member of his small dule. The good doctor is never focusing on only one thing at a time, and is quite the workaholic; nothing brings him more pleasure than medicine! In his (very little) spare time, he enjoys having tea and conversation with his best friend Heavy, and baking pastries and breads! Likes keeping his hands busy and his mind sharp!

after the team's disbanding (during - post-comics)

When RED team disbanded, Medic was unfazed and quickly sought out another means of funding his experiments. Such was life as a scientist! As it turned out, Classic Team was in need of a Medic and hired him on full-time, all expenses paid. If he healed them, they were content to leave him to his devices in his free time... whatever he got into, they were happy to be none the wiser. It was thanks to this carelessness that he was able to find Sniper's body after he'd been killed by Classic Sniper, quickly beginning to revive him.

1.3 billion dollars and twelve hours later, Sniper was alive and well again! Truly a medical miracle! Medic dubs him as his greatest achievement and distracts an interrupting Classic Heavy so that Sniper can escape and meet up with the rest of the team. When the mercenaries all returned to Teufort, things resumed as normal, though Medic found himself wondering if his greatest achievement was having any troubles readjusting to life after, well, death. He wanted to pry (he's very nosy, after all!), but decided to leave it be; if Sniper wanted to discuss something with him, he supposed he knew where to find him.
