“Hey Mom, Dad and Lil’ Bro, new day, new opportunities! And I made good use of today! Went shopping a bit with Orah and got a really nice deal! So there was this little shop in Dirtmouth. Owner was a bit of a grumpy guy but I did find this nice charm there. Got it for a steal! Owner had no clue about it so I haggled it down to 34 geo! I also got this nice light buckler from a market stand. Since the mines seem more dangerous now, it might be a good idea to keep something like this on the ready. I know, dad. You are gonna be angry at me for spending so much money but these could actually prove useful! Also the red of the charm fits me well. Reminds me a bit of the noble’s garbs. Apparently Orah got a lead on her missing brother. Down somewhere in the Fungal Wastes. You should’ve seen August! Normally he is completely white but the spores colored him yellow all over. Gonna take him weeks to brush that out! We spent a long time there and had to make camp. During Sir Serwacy’s, Bowel and August’s watch they met some mushroom people. They didn’t attack so I believe they were friendly. So yeah, that was the day. Oh, I can’t wait to show you the pin! It’s very pretty! With love, Levee”

Ooh interesting words? Hmm I'd like a joyful or happy word.

Beatific—Denoting a blissful happiness; saintly, "a beatific smile"

Alacrity—A brisk and cheerful readiness, "she stepped forward to accept with a surprising alacrity"

For a long time I wondered if the final TF2 comic would ever come out. For a longer time I wondered if I wanted it to. They built it up so much, hyped the Administrator's big plan so high, and then waited so long, could they possibly ever meet expectations?

I don't know if what they did was what they originally planned, or if there even was a plan, but I think they knocked it out of the park. It feels... right.

And it cemented the Administrator as one of the most terrifying villains in history. But before I discuss that, SPOILERS:

It was all pointless. None of it ever mattered.

The Gravel Wars, the fighting, the Australium, the deaths, the Classic Mercs, none of it mattered at all. Because Helen or whatever her name is just an addict getting her fix.

She kept a man alive for near enough two hundred years, trapped in the moment just before death by a thousand diseases, because she dedicated her life so thoroughly to ending him that when he finally croaked, she had nothing left. So she brought him back to suffer more. And then extended her OWN life so she could keep making him suffer.

And she doesn't even remember why. She was a child when Zepheniah Mann killed her parents, and she's something like a hundred and seventy years old now. It's been three normal lifetimes since then, and she's forgotten. But she never forgot the hate.

She sabotaged two infant's futures by raising them to be bafoons just to hurt their father. She orchestrated a forever war to spite a single man. She was prepared to keep this going until the heat death of the universe.

Do you know what would have happened if Pauling had lost her nerve and admitted they found a new stash of magic metal? With all three Mann brothers dead, she probably would have gone after Olivia. The last Mann standing, and a girl who at the time was only seven and had barely any connection to the Mann legacy at all, and probably didn't know her grandfather's name! And Helen would have gone after her and ruined her life just to make Zepheniah watch as yet another generation of Mann was ruined.

What a pointless, misspent life. What a waste of time. What an ending.

It makes what comes next all the greater. Scout and Soldier are dads with happy children, Spy still can't admit their relation but gets to be part of his grandkids' lives and he and Jeremy trust each other enough that Scout doesn't blink when he takes his mask off. Team Fortress is happy. They moved on. Found new lives.

Helen couldn't. She had all the time in the world and then some, and she just couldn't move on.

What a waste.
