#I know my comics are goofy but like I��m genuinely really sad

demoman...? husband

fuck i forgot to answer this

favorite thing about them:

hmm... my first instinct is “we stan a depressed addict king”. i just like seeing characters struggling, it makes them feel more real and relatable. all the mercs are so goofy, and dont get me wrong, demo is too, but he has this like...weight about him. he carries this grand, heavy legacy, the burden of expectation and lineage and knowledge and trauma. he’s so self-conscious and world weary, but tries to cover it up with ‘having a good time’ ie: getting drunk. i want to give the guy a hug and have a good talk with him about how his mom is a twat and he should just live his best life.

least favorite thing about them:

1. i think he has the worst Meet The video. his song fucks, but they really did just use the most boring footage and pre-made voice lines for a lot of it, and it made him seem so one-note. improve it by making it more dramatic and dark, show off his actual life story and personality, as well as his ingame abilities. like, imagine a new SFM that shows him screaming through the skies from a sticky jump and lobbing off peoples heads, and it cuts to him leafing through a book about monsters and he talks about magic and shit and how its affected him. you could even show flickers of WAR! and how he felt about it all. valve just doesnt care about him and it pisses me off because it makes him boring

2. I wish he had a black voice actor.

3. stop fucking spawncamping me 

favorite line:

literally ALL of the WAR! lines where he’s hitting on the enemy Soldier, but also all of his drunken lines where he’s just saying what the fuck ever. they seriously never fail to make me laugh. especially “if i wasnt a man, i would- i’d kiss ya.” and “i got two tickets to the gun show, and you’re not goin. they’re- MY tickets.”

brOTP:

him and sniper :’) if you ignore the dumb shit in the comics where sniper knocked him and ms.pauling out (which was OOC imo), they’re a seriously great duo. 

OTP:

sniper, soldier, spy, heavy. he’s so good with everyone. pls.

nOTP:

people dont ship demo with anyone but soldier really :/ not much to hate

random headcanon:

ive got more headcanons for demo than i do for everyone except Spy. here’s a few: he is Always on the brink of a serious breakdown but keeps chugging forward anyway because it’s all he really knows and the second he’s actually like, content or happy, he gets very anxious and sad almost immediately because he knows it won’t last very long and he can’t get too used to it or the pain just hits that much harder later, so its hard for him to genuinely enjoy himself longer than a few hours. he loves nature so much and tries to bask in it as much as he can. he likes cooking and reading, but dislikes how he cant enjoy them very much unless he’s sober. he’s a trivia PRO and retains specific information like a sponge, and if he’s lucid enough, he will destroy you at any fact-based game. him and sniper bond over all kinds of stuff, including having mixed feelings about their parents, wildlife knowledge, battle strategy and weaponry, mythology and cryptids, and being able to fall asleep literally anywhere. 

unpopular opinion:

making cuck jokes about him is racist, i dont care if he makes ‘wife’ comments in-game, stop it. stop talking about how “feral” he is, too (god i hate lightspeed and their fucking hardon for were!demo), and how he’s “hung”. and if i see one more pale demo i am going to strangle the OP with barbed wire. this fandom is so fucking racist

song i associate with them:

last true knight by hannah m
