The Strategist is HERE!
She’s finally here! I finally got around to making her refsheet as I didn’t really have much else I wanted to draw and artfight is just around the corner. Feel free to ask questions about her! She’s part of the fic “Ten’s a Crowd.”
Website is still a WIP!
Also, her class emblem, while initially a doodle that I wasn’t intending to keep, actually ended up becoming official because of the arrows that lead players in directions and help guide players in maps!

PRIDE WEEK DAY 2!
Better late than never! Yesterday’s prompt was “Friends/Family!”
@dontneedadispenser
Friends/Family
Something I like a lot about these two is that I decided, with the whole idea that main-fic Edith wouldn’t be allowed to have any romantic relationships with the mercs to make way for more interesting dynamics, that she and Spy would actually become friends! Of course, they’re still developing within the story, but they’re practically inseparable by the end, no matter how much Spy tries to deny it.
I’m so sorry for not putting something here but it’s very early in the morning, this reblog is a reminder to do it when I wake up because HO BOY can I think of MANY- I hope so at least we’ll see when I wake up-
Any headcanons on how spy and scout’s ma met?
Next day reblog, happy pride month everyone!!!
PRIDE WEEK DAY 1!
@dontneedadispenser’s pride week has begun! Unfortunately, this took a bit, but I’m not late yet, haha. Edith and Pauling are here to kick off day #1 with the theme of flags!

Good post op
(Also I can doodle him perhaps maybe tomorrow?)
(I need to finish something for a collab first oh shoot I forgot)
(But still... Merasmus...)
(Might do some general headcanons in the meantime or finish one of the Merasmus requests from earlier..!)
Thank you for the Merasmus posts, he needs more love! :]
Heheh thank you! I'd love to do actual art of him one day instead of just rebloggin him, but I'm not very good at drawing (especially old dudes like merasmurray) so. Maybe some day.
Though I can share some headcanons! This is a bit of a common one but I do like to think of him as transmasc
Also, Merasmus sometimes will play DnD with the more willing mercs (after much pushing from Soldier)! He uses his magic to make fun effects and stuff. He isn't happy about it, but he secretly thinks its fun
!!!
I resonate so hard with what you just posted about feeling called out with the 10th class OC thing.
Your take comforts me because I worry about this kind of thing a lot
And I work really hard
And to feel like your best isnt good enough
Or you dont get to have fun with something that YOU create
Is so draining
So yeah, thanks for speaking about it
I hope you dont give up on your OCs :)
And I hope you don’t either, anon! I’ve had a lot of experience making mary sue ocs, self inserts and the like and at any rate, I round them out because I need it to stay invested, and for others to. But that’s for me, and I do my best not to pull others down because of that, because everyone has their own things they like to do! I struggle with it sometimes, because I have anxiety over my characters being good. I make comfort characters for the exact purpose of giving them as many tropes as I want, as many edgy facets and powers as I want so as not to be tempted to give them to my other characters, but that doesn’t mean that they’re any less valid nor lovable.
And you know what?
I’m a fanfiction writer! I make content for a fandom that’s based on tropes! If people are gonna harass others for that, then there’s a big ol’ block button calling their name, alright? So even though I personally try to round out my characters for my own reasons, if you don’t want to, then you shouldn’t. Because everyone’s characters, no matter how developed, no matter how “edgy”, are VALID.
Keep making your OCs, and make them however you want. If someone tries to tell you they aren’t valid? Let them cry and sob over it. You are in control of yourself, and they can’t do anything about it.
Your best is good enough.
You can focus on making yourself happy first,
You get to have fun with your own characters,
You can work hard and come out with a result that you cherish, no matter what others tell you.
Never, ever let anyone drain you of that. Your characters are perfect how you like them.
I hope this doesn’t come across as too rant-y! I just feel your struggle, it’s a really hard mindset to break and so seeing it being reinforced hurt a little bit. But the amount of positivity coming from people because of this is absolutely incredible and it’s why I love this community so much!
Don’t let people like that get you down, alright? I agree, it’s draining, and it’s so very hard to ignore the negativity, but remember that 10 good thoughts can outweigh 1 bad thought, so keep surrounding yourself with people and characters and such that make you happy and content. Because in the end, that’s what’s most important.
We’re here because we want to have fun. We want to share ideas, we want to share our love for a work of fiction.
Be it team fortress, or anything else.

So, self insert ocs.
As someone who’s blog revolves around this one, I have some thoughts on the post.
Edith was originally a self insert oc. However, since I wanted the fic I was writing to be a sort of love letter to the community, I decided to expand her personality and try to make it so that she could be projected on by anybody. Or at least, as many people as possible. Speaking a second language, feeling out of place, having anxiety about going places, making impressions, the things in her past and mistakes she’s made, all of these things are a mixture of what I feel and what I’ve heard others feel a lot, and so I added them.
But she is, in fact, her own character and 10th class, whom I love a lot. Whether or not she is so wholly unique that she stands out, I don’t care.
But what I did care about, ironically enough, was making an impression. And that came with the mechanics of her class.
Just because you have a self insert or 10th class OC, you are not obligated in any way to explain what their purpose is, what their reasons are, so long as YOU are happy.
For me, I wanted to come up with a unique 10th class that had her own mechanics, but that’s because I saw untapped potential. If she were to be in the game, it would be near impossible for those mechanics to actually work due to map limitations.
And that’s the thing, because she’s a work of fiction, it doesn’t matter.
That means I can get as creative as I want with her, because she’s not part of the game.
As for shipping, my personal rule is not to ship her with any of the mercs! Not in the main fic, anyway. Might make some spinoffs if I ever finish the main one, but I felt that many had a bias towards certain characters they liked, (which is absolutely fair and I love those kinds of fics either way), and I wanted to keep it so that she could have varying relationships with everyone and not just romance! It’s for personal reasons, not influenced by anybody else.
However, I immensely enjoy seeing people shipping their ocs and self inserts with the team! Why the heck do you think I post x reader headcanons sometimes?
In the end, your characters are not more or less valid, and you don’t love your characters more or less depending on how developed they are.
As long as a character makes you happy, as long as the relationships they share make you happy, as long as you are content, then nobody, and I mean NOBODY can tell you how YOU should write YOUR characters.
You can take overdone concepts and expand upon them in your own way, because your character is unique to YOU.
You can give them modern day clothes and use tropes because your character is unique to YOU.
and YOU,
can do whatever you DAMN want.
You are valid, loved, and your characters, your self inserts, your tenth classes are yours and yours only. I support you all the way!
Do not send hate/harassment towards the author of the post being mentioned here, you goofs.
