Merasmus Icons Requested By @tf2strategist , Enjoy Your Old Wizard

I love the idea that friendly fire is enabled and mercs of the same team can hurt eachother so to spy check they're just really tactile with eachother.

Like big pats on the back when passing, hugs as greetings, gripping eachothers shoulders alot y'know?

Dear M,

Hi, Pauling here. I’m sure you remember me from my last letter regarding the bugs that you may or may not have put in our base. But that was so long ago - I’m sure we can put our differences aside in order to work towards a common goal. That’s what civil people do, right? They compromise.

We have a suspicion that you are keeping one of our teammates, as well as a teammate from another company, hostage in a diner. For their freedom and your cooperation, we are willing to pay any price. Money is no object. We can provide equipment that isn’t available - or legal - anywhere else.

We don’t know why you have done this, if you have, but there is no one we can’t outbribe.

With all due respect,

Miss Pauling

R.E.D Team

Oops!...I Did It Again 😳👉👈

Tw for a fair bit of blood, so I’ll put it under a read more.

@hawtowo​ 

I wasn’t kidding about wanting to draw these two interacting somehow! :D

 I actually spent a lot of my breaks today drawing this, because I really wanted to make something with more substance to it, especially seeing as you’ve been doing a lot of stuff for people lately! This took 4-5 or more hours, I’m not entirely sure exactly how long but it was a WHILE to figure out how to do my workflow in clip studio. This is actually my very first fully colored/lined drawing in this program that hasn’t been just an experimental thing or a flat color icon or something.

Your art is stunning, dude! I- trips and falls and all the love comes tumbling out of my pockets.

Yknow what? Tempted to make some non-canon Edith ship art/doodles with the mercs

I’ve done some wholesome ones with a character before for Valentine’s but didn’t finish 😔

Seeing the community come together like this though is really cool!

Do not harass the post creator from earlier, as usual! Any posts I make related to it I’m putting this at the bottom since I know there’s a lot of mixed feelings over the situation. Let’s focus on creative character making instead! :]

Hcs for the support classes with a s/o who loves plants and studies botany?

Support classes with a botanist S/O!

Medic:

Fascinated by their S/O’s green thumb and studies! He’s always looking to learn more for the sake of his own.

Absolutely asks to/works with his S/O to make freaky mutated plant creatures for use on the battlefield, or just to scare the other mercs on purpose.

Will absolutely quote Little Shop of Horrors at every chance he gets. They find it adorable and the rest of the team finds it a little too… Sappy. (Badum-tss!)

Sniper:

He finds the care and love they put into their plants so wonderful, and they make the perfect pair when it comes to interest. One loves plants, the other loves animals.

Of course, that doesn’t stop them from being their own slightly awkward selves, but there’s plenty of inside jokes and puns thrown around between the two involving their separate interests. Many of which the rest of the team wouldn’t get without a fair bit of research.

Overall, they’re wonderful for each other. The van is filled with the smell of fresh herbs and fun plants, they’ve made a little greenhouse outside of the base… Sniper and his S/O occasionally go bird watching, and they’ll sit quietly together until one spots an interesting bird or plant that they can share facts with each other on

Spy:

Spy is surprisingly good about messes and getting his hands dirty to do his job. That was why it came to him as a surprise that he disliked the idea of gardening and botany, unlike his S/O.

He learns to get better at taking care of things like plants on display as his S/O brings in roses and fresh herbs, plants, and interesting specimen that they love. Spy discovers better ways of keeping up with commitment, something he often struggles with.

He loves listening to his S/O ramble about plant topics, especially over dinner or while reading a good book. Eventually, Spy manages to keep a plant alive for a whole year, despite not having a green thumb in the slightest. The accomplishment becomes a landmark for the two, and is celebrated by an extra, enthusiastic kiss.

YEAAAHHH BABEEEEEEYYY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILLING BOTH REQUESTS, I LOVE THESE SO MUCH… I AM GOING TO USE THESE SO MUCH, BUT I HAVE TO PICK ONE FIRST!!!

Meem icons requested by @talk-to-sniper , and @tf2strategist !!! Make sure not to use that E key too much or he'll abandon you /hj

Hey heads up

Y’know how I said I’d be messing with my theme and then didn’t do anything? Well I’m doing that now, expect eye burning colors and layouts changing and breaking things for the next little while. Sorry guys! I’ll try to be quick.

Dear goodness I hope I don’t come across as any of these. Same here that I won’t cancel your headcanons but I 100% agree.

For Sniper, I like to see it as he’s not the best with words, but he’s patient and while he may come across as nervous in a situation it’s out of surprise or out of being flustered. I don’t think he’s like that normally, since you can definitely see that he isn’t through his voice lines ingame.

He’s a professional after all!

Such in a shitty fucking mood today. Tell me about your LEAST favorite thing the TF2 fandom does. The worst widely accepted headcanon. Hatred rage violence. I'll probably bite someone.

I’m not one to try and spread negativity, but if there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s the constant drawing of (canon) Demo, Soldier, Heavy, and Medic as stick-thin.

I struggled to draw their body types at first, but getting into tf2 actually helped my art style a LOT as I was forced to branch out of what I was used to drawing.

I just wish more people would do the same.

Oh hey also

I haven’t forgotten about the Merasmus post! I have one in my drafts I just need to get to making those gifs and stuff, I’ve been a bit dry on time and motivation, especially since animating takes a lot of effort and it really depends day to day how well I can animate. Just a reminder that my inbox is always open too for suggestions!
