Out of the entire cast, Scout is, funnily enough, the one who reacts the least to anything scary or traumatizing.

A lot of people depict him as this guy who's the scaredy cat, asshole, angsty one of the team, when a lot of the time? He's... actually a really cool dude (if a bit energetic).

In "Jungle Inferno", it's Spy who runs when there's an odd noise, and it's Scout who continues forward. While it could've been because Spy's voice actor didn't make an appearance, it's oddly symbolic to their characters.

In "MvM - The Sound of Medicine", when Heavy, Soldier, Scout, and Pyro are surrounded by Demobots, as Heavy and everyone else are blown up and Heavy's head lands on Scout's stomach, he doesn't even react. He just... looks at Heavy's head and let's his own head fall back in defeat.

Even in the comics as he's being choked out by everyone on the team, he kinda just accepts it without being nervous or anxious, he doesn't even flinch when it happens, just a sort of, "aw man, this shit again? Sod off!" reaction.

He acts immaturely, sure, but he's never like, a kid about anything? He's acts like an immature adult, but it's never immature-immature, even when he moves on from Pauling, it's both out of respect for both her and himself.

He's really respectful about it, actually, and Pauling isn't disgruntled or even annoyed, even she knows he never meant any harm, only that he was a hopeless romantic. And even in the duration of his crush, he actually respects her a lot, even if he doesn't go through with his plans to hang out with her.

If we're assuming here, the guy grew up with his mom. He's been respecting women since day one, he knows just how much of a charmer he can be because he grew up under his mom's care. Scout's awkward as hell, but he knows not to push it with women.

A lot of people want Scout angst or try to make him out to be the asshole but like, he really just does not give a shit. In fact, he's likely the only one out of the entire cast who copes with his problems like any normal human being.

Conclusion: Scout isn't angsty, a scaredy-cat, or an asshole, he's just a really, really complicated and paradoxical character who is, unfortunately, extremely bastardized by everyone in the TF2 community. It's a shame too, he has such a unique personality.

so im not entirely sure if the respawn machine only works while in battle or 24/7, but if it were to work all the time, i feel like the mercs would take advantage of it so much.

Like, if they were having lunch and you started an argument, if medic joins and you end up making him mad, oh. oh you are going to experience the horrors; because, you are going to respawn afterwards so it doesnt matter.

And i feel like they would have a whole moral system over what is okay and what isnt;

Like, if you kill a teammate thats okay cause they will respawn in perfect condition, but if you beat the shit out of one of them thats fucked up because they wont magically heal, specially if you do it pre-match cause you are putting a disadvantage on them, and it will be hard to convince medic to heal someone outside of the battlefield other than heavy

"trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again."

so he basically wants to control the free speech of young people.

i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:

trump declared a national emergency at the southern border + is getting the US military more involved in stopping "invasions including mass migration"

no one can declare asylum in the US

all existing appointments for people wanting to legally become US citizens are canceled

birthright citizenship (aka the 14th amendment) is now gone

ICE sweeps beginning "soon," not specifying when (though there are rumors it's starting tomorrow in sanctuary cities such as chicago)

mexican cartels are now designated "foreign terrorist organizations" and trump is not opposed to US troops entering mexico to eliminate them

he restored the death penalty for "crimes committed by illegal aliens"

biden had signed an executive order attempting to stop cops from using chokeholds or doing no-knock warrants. trump just revoked that order

25% tariffs on canada and mexico begin on feb 1 2025 — expect a lot of produce imported from mexico to get more expensive soon

tariffs on china will begin soon, not specified when

trump said he intends to take back the panama canal, did not specify when or how

january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned

he pardoned the leader of the proud boys

tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.

he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US

he says the gulf of mexico is now to be called the "gulf of america" + denali is now to be called "mount mckinley"

alaska is to be mined and become the US' main source for fossil fuels

the green new deal and "electric vehicle" (green energy) mandates are over

the US has withdrawn from the paris climate agreement

the US has withdrawn from the world health organization

reproductiverights.gov is already gone

the US now "only recognizes two genders, male and female"

trans women prisoners are to be housed in male prisons; gender affirming care for prisoners is gone

self-identification for gender on passports, government IDs, and social security cards is gone

all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home

trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars

sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three

and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:

the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency

trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist

the wealthiest people on the planet — the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok — who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners — stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in

elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating
