When you have as varied a team as ours, members form bonds over some unexpected traits they share

Yo! Ask if you got favourite duo in whole tf2 franchise! Doesn't have to be romantic, just two bff duo is freaking awesome :]

Mod:

I'm assuming you're asking this of me given the wording (which I never really expected to get on this blog lmao). Oh boy, that's tough. I'm going to disregard romantic shipping here, since I really like to try that seasoning on most character pairs just to see if it adds anything. And anyone who has seen my main (and well. the subtext of certain answers here) can easily guess my favorite romantic pairs

Honestly, I really love Pyro's dynamic with every other merc. Pyro is such a homie. They just wanna have fun with their friends, and really dont care what they're doing in the process. Engie and his Pybro are the classic duo, but I'm very partial to Scout and Pyro. To me, they're the best goofballs to just put into whatever shenanigans. Scout who drags a happy Pyro into mischief, my beloved dynamic

One of my many headcanons is that, despite having so many of them, Scout actually wasn't super close to his older brothers. They spent time together, but if they weren't related, they wouldnt have been friends. For the most part. He was close to one of them. Regardless, in a lot of ways, he gets the sort of ride or die "friend to get into and out of trouble with" relationship with Pyro that he wanted growing up, and Pyro gets someone who doesn't push them away cause they're "busy".

If I'm allowed to talk about trios for a moment, may I just mention how much Offense delights me as a whole? Of the three class divsions, they're the ones I can actually see hanging out regularly and having interests in common. Not to mention, in situations (bases, hotels, ect) where there arent enough rooms for every merc to have their own, Offense are bunked together and told not to kill each other. Or destroy too much property. They usually do both.

My beloved trio of dummies. If offense were cats, they would all be orange, pam bless. They have three braincells to rub between them, and Pyro usually has all three dedicated to having a good time

ah shoot I need to add some art to this.... have some (admittedly lazy) doodles I did on copy paper while waiting on a ride home

Dear RED Team:

First of all, I'm such a big fan! I've been watching since the very first season, and even though I have work now, I still try to tune in whenever I can. Your battles and extreme acts of violence make my day! Thanks to you all, I've rediscovered my love for guns, knives, highly dangerous explosives, and deadly machinery, and I've began building my own as a side-hobby! I hope to meet you all someday, maybe I'll even get to be part of the production team behind the scenes! Thank you all for doing what you do best!

And to Demoman:

You may be the handsomest, most beautiful man I have ever seen. Please have this drawing I made of you drinking scrumpy and exploding people and being awesome. Could you maybe send back an autograph, if it's not too much to ask...?

(Ooc, I adore this concept to BITS omg, I can't wait to see where it all goes!! -🍃)

[fortress-rising]

Happy New Year to you too, from everyone on the team.

RESULTS OF THE WEBSITE POLL

Fortress Rising now has two official webpages outside of tumblr!

If you enjoy silly visuals and sending anonymous doodles, check out the Fortress Rising Strawpage!

If you're more down for an imitation of a mid-late 00's website for an obscure TV show, head on down to the Fortress Rising Neocities!

The Strawpage, as of now, is basically done, but will be updated once or twice going forward. It also has a featured art page. The Neocities, on the other hand, will continue growing slowly over time. Current plans are vague, but suggestions are VERY welcome.

[fortress-rising]

I probably don't need to say this but I'm going to anyway. Fortress Rising, being so thoroughly in headcanon land that it's not even funny, will heavily contradict Issue 7 of the comic.

So please do not get snippy with me when things come up

BTW if there's every anything unclear about the Setting or meta narrative elements of the ask blog, feel free to send an ask to my main (ie, the blog this ask is being posted to)

Uh, questions about "content guidelines" too, if the "16+ content" rule is a bit vague
