TF2 related lost media - animatic about Scout grappling with Spy being his dad set to the song 'Please Don't' by K. Will

back in 2018, i watched this TF2 animatic that was about Scout going through all the motions of dealing with Spy marrying his mother and being his dad. it was a really well made animatic, it had this beautifully illustrated inked style on a yellowed paper background, and it was set to the song 'Please Don't' by Korean artist K. Will. unfortunately though, it seems to have since either been privated or deleted and i can't find it anywhere, nor do i have the URL for it at the moment. the only evidence i have of its existence is the thumbnail, which was saved to my old Samsung phone when i downloaded the audio of the animatic (but not the video unfortunately).

i can't remember who uploaded or illustrated the video, but i do have the title. it's "TF2 Please don't Parody" with some Korean text at the end that translates to the same thing. i think it would have been uploaded to YouTube at least 8-9 years ago.

if it helps, here are some details i remember from the video:

the image is of a scene where all the other mercs are getting dressed for Spy's wedding, but Scout isn't present. i think after this is a shot of Spy looking worried/saddened by Scout's absence.

there's a scene where Scout tears apart a photo of Spy, himself and his mum and puts Spy closer to himself (perhaps symbolically showing that he wishes he were closer to his dad)

similarly, there's a scene where Scout's mum is noticeably upset by Scout's absence during the wedding preparations, but i can't remember what specifically Scout is absent from.

there's a scene of Scout driving in his car with a serious look on his face, and then later in the video, the same scene appears later, except he's crying and stops the car.

i think there's a scene where Scout is looking at his mum and Spy either having a laugh together or preparing each other's wedding outfits from the other side of a wall or a door, and he just has this bereft look on his face.

the video has audio of a car driving at the end, and it lasts for about 10 seconds. it was probably taken from the original music video for the song used.

hopefully this video will turn up again or i'll find the user who uploaded it. it's a very nostalgic video to me and i'd love to see it again!!
