“For already she approaches, glowing; her love for the earth approaches. All solar love is innocence and creative longing… like the sun I live life and all deep seas… All that is deep shall rise up to my heights.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

whatever you do, do NOT think about your normally stoic and temperamental F/O softening upon seeing you!!! do NOT imagine your normally grumpy and jaded F/O having a small smile when thinking of you!!! do NOT imagine warming your cold F/O's heart and being able to see a calmer, more peaceful side of them!! DO NOT-

I can’t stop thinking about my favorite ships, which are all ambiguously gay old men.

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.
