American’s are so funny, Chappell Roan basically said Kamala Harris is the lesser of two evils but still evil, and everyone’s acting like she’s a die hard Republican…whereas i don’t think i’ve ever met a single person from the UK who has voted Labour and actually LIKES the labour party lmao

that pyro and spy drawing reminds me of the marshmallow test to be honest

hah! I can see that! We've seen Pyro running a (very) successful business so he'd probably be able to wrangle both treats off Spy whether by hook or crook. I sort of like to imagine that money doesn't really mean anything to the mercs...they all get paid such ludicrous amounts and either have goals that don't align with 'wealth' or that the their personal wealth is a means to a very silly end (Heavy and his custom bullets, Spy single-handedly supporting the Italian haute craft industry through his tastes etc) that you end up with a bunch of people who are like out of touch British politicians when it comes to finances. Miss Pauling totally gives them all crib sheets on how much a pint of milk costs when they have to do public outreach. So in Spy's eyes how much could a lolly cost anyways? 500 euros?? I guess. Might as well. 🤷‍♂️
