#ask the spy anything !

spare some spy hcs? 👀

OKAY. ok. so i have been putting off answering this ask because i’m admittedly very shy and very afraid of sharing my headcanons. and also because i have A LOT OF THEM.. but here we are!

here are my headcanon spies :) René works for RED and Jacques works for BLU!

where to start, where to start… i have a LOT of headcanons for them, i’ll be talking for FOREVER here. i’ll just start with story because why not! xP

René’s parents were also agents/spies, so he was always destined to be one as well. And he lives up to his parents’ legacies! He’s most notorious for destroying gangs and mobs and the like from the outside in. He was brought to America years ago to take out a dangerous mob boss, but unfortunately found himself infatuated (and involved) with the boss’ daughter. Luckily for him, the boss’ daughter wanted the guy dead, too.

René’s story is honestly a lot more fleshed out than Jacques’, but here goes anyway:

Jacques’ father was a very rich and powerful man in politics. Jacques himself was the result of an affair, and to keep it hush-hush, his father decided to raise him. Raise is a strong word, though— but he did help his father gain intelligence and blackmail on opposing political parties. Jacques proved to be a promising spy since childhood.

If anyone has any suggestions/ideas for Jacques’ story, let me know haha x) he didn’t have the greatest upbringing per se…

last thing on this section i wanna talk about is the Scouts. René is related to both of the Scouts; he’s RED Scout (Jeremy)’s biological father, and he’s BLU Scout (James)’ adoptive/step-father. Jacques has no relation to either scout, but acts as a guardian figure to BLU Scout.

anyway, this is the part where i continue talking about other miscellaneous headcanons! and these come with doodles :)

You couldn’t catch René DEAD without his mask, or his suit! He’d neeever take them off around other people (‘other people’ is mainly just Scout. For obvious reasons.) Meanwhile, Jacques is pretty lenient in letting his teammates see his face! Everyone on BLU’s seen his face at least once.

A big part of why René refuses to strip down is also due to the fact he has a LOT of tattoos. No doodle for this one because I’ve yet to decide on what tattoos to put on him (ideas are very welcome!!), but yeah! Most of the tattoos were ‘forced’ onto him/he had to get for jobs and ‘fitting in’ with bad crowds, but a good few of them were of his own accord, too.

Jacques doesn’t have tattoos, but he has a myriad of another thing: scars! Lots and lots of scars on this guy. Faded and old, sure, but they’re there. Most prominent ones are the one around his neck (from when the RED Medic beheaded him) and the ones on his forearms (those are from the LAST time he was imprisoned— looong story…)

René doesn’t cook very often for his team, but when he does, everyone’s always BLOWN AWAY by this guy’s cooking! René’s really bad at taking compliments, though— (“Cooking food that’s remotely edible isn’t a compliment, it’s basic survival.”) —but rest assured he’ll be thinking about it for the next month. Jacques, however… Do NOT let this guy into the kitchen. Ever. The BLU base has a special fire extinguisher “In Case Spy Decides To Turn On The Stove”

oooh, this one is an hc and a HALF to me. René much prefers working alone. It’s just in his nature, being isolated and whatnot. He likes to deal with things by himself– maybe he doesn’t want to burden others? On the contrary, Jacques NEVER works alone. It’s a trait he’s had even before being hired to BLU. You never know when things could go wrong, so it’s best to have someone else to fall back to… or someone else you can blame!

these hcs both have something to do with how René and Jacques show their trust in other people :) it’s a bit convoluted but it gets there:

René is, amusingly, very bad at remembering names. Almost laughably bad. There have been many-a-story of his days before RED where he’d get a target’s name wrong, even after he’d repeated it in his head dozens of times over. Names are difficult for him, so if he remembers yours, it means you mean a lot to him! He prefers using his teammates’ names rather than their titles. René is unaware of how charming this specifc trait is to his coworkers (they saw how much work and effort it took for him to memorize their names, they’re just happy with how far he’s come!)

Jacques has a… to put simply, very complicated relationship with food. But the one thing he’ll never turn down is sweets. His favorites especially being chocolate bonbons. Jacques has a hard time eating in front of others, let alone sharing his food! But if he genuinely likes and trusts you enough, he’d have half the mind to share with you. Admittedly, he hasn’t brought himself to share with most of the members of his team yet, except for a select few. Mostly BLU Medic and BLU Sniper.

—

and of course, eventually, EVENTUALLY, these two also become friends! it took a little bit but believe me, they both respect each other’s skill in their job :)

AHHg i could go sooo much longer about them— from things like their physical traits (how much teeth they have? it’s a pressing question) or different periods of their life (why did rené have to leave his family? why was jacques imprisoned for the last time?) BUT this post is so… so, so long. My fingers hurt from typing

If you’ve managed to read through this Beast, THANK YOU RAAHH!!! thanks so much for asking this, too. i hope to spare more hcs someday. hehe ^_^

Hi there i love ur art so much!!! Also the bacon baguette thing is so cute, i <3 how u portray them. That is all have a wonderful day :)

So sorry I just saw this lovely message todayt_t!!!! It's been a long time since I've used the community software due to some school shit a while back. I'm glad to be back here for the holidays!

Back to the question. I sometimes refer to real actors, like engi corresponds with Woody Harrelson! ( I fell in love with him at first sight *chuckle) To learn more I even watched He starred in《True Detective》S1. (I really love this show, and recommend it to anyone who likes Disco Elysium, which have very similar styles)

(He looks like he really needs sleep...)

To the Spy I doesn't have so many references. Mostly, it's a fan-made modeling and a little bit of my thoughts on Spy's arrogant personality! But as for the real-life references, I think Jean Dujardin is very similar to my imagination:3

MEET THE ARTIST

(tf2 edition)

So I have seen this template going around and I thought it'd be fun to do it myself!! Since TF2 is my current hyper fixation, I have been absolutely FOCUSED on playing the game, especially trying to branch out what classes I play!! I also have been drawing my own tf2 ocs for years, but I realized I never actually drew the cannon mercs, so this was a bit of a test run to see if I could do some pfff This was so fun to work on!! Now I'm gonna boot up the game and play for the next 3-7 hours. HERES THE TEMPLATE:

Have you ever thought about badass master spy Jaskier who has his own network and connections, and after the mountain (and getting ciri) geralt, ciri, and yennefer (maybe) need to lay low and turn to Jaskier who they didn’t know was this competent and badass and they’re like “the fuck?”

Because I’ve been thinking about it. A lot.

I really like the idea of Jaskier being a highly skilled spy. His work as the Sandpiper could be the perfect cover that enables him to establish his network.

(sorry for not posting in so long, I wanted my next post to be something important or interesting but I couldn’t get myself to forge anything really significant at the moment and if I waited any longer I might’ve just never mustered up the will to post, sooo… frilda!)

I just wanted to draw Engie in that gay little civilian outfit from that comic I just posted but I got carried away and now here's Engispy. They're out on the town! Engie cut those jorts fresh this morning.

TF2 Body Swap AU in which everyone is miserable except for Pyro and Scout but then some of Medics least smart birds start following Scout as Medic around and Scout freaks out so really only Pyro is happy

Swaps: Spy -> Scout -> Medic -> Soldier -> Engineer -> Heavy -> Pyro -> Demo -> Sniper -> back to Spy

[genericpuff]

Wait, the Hera x Echo plotline??? (re: your post on Hestia and Athena’s relationship) I’ve (hate)read all of LO and I somehow don’t remember that at ALL

tbf it was revealed in a recent FP episode which is still locked up, but they have tried to reference it being a thing on like two occasions (including Ares saying something along the lines of "she's my mom's personal assistant or girlfriend or something") so it really just feels like it being canon now is purely for fanservice and not to service an actual character arc u.u

EDIT: Here's an ask I responded to a week or so ago going more in-depth on the Hera x Echo thing so feel free to check that out!

How's the rest of the team?

Hello everyone! It's me again, the medic.   Our team morale has declined due to a long streak of losses. I recently got reassigned because of issues relating to their previous medic. And though they may look headstrong from the outside, spending time with them will show you a different picture. However, I do strongly admire their persistence, team #2307 has the longest-known loss streak of both Red and BLU combined! I’m honestly surprised we haven't been disbanded yet.

Getting up every day knowing you will lose isn't easy and the others don't make it easy either, the Soldier is always barking unreasonable orders, the pyro enjoys the ability to friendly fire a little too much, scout and spy are always arguing (poor boy, I do feel bad for him and fear the powers that reunited him with his father in this manner), sniper and the Demoman are always drunk or causing chaos somewhere. I don't have any major complaints about our heavy and our engineer (god bless his soul) is trying his best to keep us together as a team.

with kind regards, medic

helo its the guy that asked abt joyxiety spy au and i just came up w a funny interaction lol

likei can imagine Dr Axyon trying to be intimidating and brooding but Miss April sees right through that. Like shes trying her best to be threatening but April sees it like you would a puffed up chicken. like

Dr: Miss April... am i... a monster

April(goofy mobster voice): ehh, don't think so, boss. Unless you're countin' that time you drank enough coffee to put a horse in a coma

(Also now I cant stop thinking abt april fools with that mobster voice lmaoooo)

YYYYES they're exactly like this. Regardless of whether or not Axyon's genuinely intimidating towards everyone else, Joyce knows who she is underneath that mask. And it's not like Axyon needs to be intimidating towards Joyce since they respect each other anyhows >:)

Also I love the goofy mobster voice HDJDKSK she does a lot of impressions very often, she needs to do comedy bits constantly or she'll DIE!!!!

[asisp7766]

I'm glad you're okay and doing well!!!! There's something I'd like to ask you, asi. Is there any art you don't know about or haven't posted on here?!

I do have a lot of stuff haven't post here (partly because I want this place to be full of tf2 hhh) But these are some doodles and art when I wasn't active on Tumblr:3

enjoy!

Hi good boi!

What's your favorite toy/game?

borfu!! borf!

[ordinaryschmuck]

As someone who watches Spy x Fanily, what's your take on this assessment?

I'd say the darkness is inevitable, but I don't think it's exactly necessary. This is a show where Yor kicked a guy hard enough that he pinballed around an ally, saying that her daughter's too young for marriage because of a lunatic idea that a man kidnapped Anya to marry her. BUT, during that same arc, it was an intense adventure of stopping terrorists from using bomb-dogs and Loid almost dying if not for Anya's attempts to make sure that never happens.

It CAN get darker, the tone suits it, but I don't think the zanniness of the show should be forgotten in the process.
