Aizawa: Oh god, how am I gonna explain my injuries to Eri?? Aizawa: I can't say I lost my eye & leg to my job, she'll never trust me to fight again!!! Mic: YOOO, TELL HER YOU GOT HIT BY A TRUCK!!!! Aizawa:
I love dates in the tf2 lore. I love knowing exactly when stuff happened. Which makes THIS THING I JUST FOUND a BEAUTIFUL MIRACLE
You've seen this image before, but have you noticed the dates on the prison card thingies? Presumably this is written the American Way (the writers are so american they make Scout and Sniper both call their mothers "mom" despite preferring "ma" and "mum" respectively, as shown previously SEVERal times), so Spy and Scout were arrested on
The 7th of September, 1972.
We can do a lot with this information.
Mann Co was taken over by Grey and Olivia half a month before this: roughly the 23rd of August
Contrary to popular belief, most of the comics have to take place in 1973! Seeing as 6 months after late August is late February.
This also means Scout had to have been born in 1946/7. Not sure about Sniper, I have yet to overanalyse the New Zealand timeline paragraph. I'll get to it eventually.
Medic implies in comic 6 that our mercs have worked together for "at least eight years", while talking about the lore breaking Demo eyeball halloween thing. Assuming the "at least" confusion is over the 1972 Halloween they missed while not working together, the Teufort Nine were hired in 1964.
(I've almost mentally rationalised the lore breaking eyeball as a thing they do at like 4am after regular Scream Fortress shenanigans. Almost.)
Scout claims he has known Ms Pauling for six years. During the War! update, Demoman is unfamiliar with Ms Pauling (he knows she works for the administrator, but thats it), so we can assume that is the point she started working more closely with the mercs, and also 1966/7
I really need to go back to actively working on my timeline instead of passively wondering at 11pm "hey what time of year is it in the comics" and going down a rabbit hole.
Uh if you want to build off this, feel free to, but tell society twas I, the great and nobel Jevil_Owo, who first conceptualised all this.
UPDATE! This post seems to be picking up reblog steam again, so now is a good time to say I was WRONG about the mercs being hired around 1964.
This blog post from 2009 claims the WAR update took place in 1962, meaning the mercs have to have been hired in early 1962 at the latest.
Seeing as Scout would have been 15/16 in 1962, and as that's kind of the youngest one can be hired for just about anything, I'd assume it actually is 1962 they were hired. Ok thats enough I just felt it was my duty as Person Timelining to update people on this Discovery.

I don’t even know when we had better times…
Younger Dabi, pick-pocketing people for cash.
Dabi swipes a man’s wallet and slips into a nearby alleyway.
He opens it, pausing and seeing a picture of some guy labeled “Shouta” with hearts around it.
He takes out the cash and a Subway gift card, then throws the wallet on the ground.

Yamada: “I can’t find my wallet!!!”
Aizawa: “I’ll help you look for it—“
Yamada: “NO- I mean- uh… don’t worry about it, I’m sure I’ll find it somewhere.”
—
Younger Shigaraki, walking down the alleyway, pausing as he sees a wallet on the ground.
He opens it up, seeing a picture of underground hero Eraserhead labeled “Shouta” and covered in hearts.
He takes the picture and shoves it in his pocket.
—
Kurogiri, doing Shigaraki’s laundry.
He pulls out the small picture of Aizawa. He stares at it for a moment, an odd feeling of recognition growing in him.
He places it on the top shelf of the bar.
—
Years later, heroes ambush the League of Villains hideout.
Aizawa, spotting the picture: “Why the hell is this here?”
Yamada, staring at the photo: “Hey, that’s mine!”
Aizawa: “Huh?”
Yamada: “I mean… how bizarre… I should take that in for evidence.”
Aizawa, handing him the photo: “Do whatever you want with it. Can we go get coffee now?”
—
Aizawa, getting out his wallet to pay for the coffee. Him pausing to look at the photo of Yamada he keeps in there.
i had a vision
this art will always make me want to bawl my eyes out because what do you mean we could have pro hero touya and health assistant toga only if they had decent parents??
(I hate mha society so much)
nothing beats the ship dynamic of “hissy black cat and his loyal golden retriever bf”
I eat that shit up every. single. time.
