spy 

favorite thing about them

ghfkldjshkj i have a soft spot for trying dads :pensive: also he’s so fucking funny and i love how he talks ?? he’s such a fucking asshole but also he’s like sweet when he needs to be [like to Miss Pauling in the comics and when Scout was dying. also just the whole thing he says to Scout when he thinks hes dying makes me so fucking emo i fucking love one dad]

least favorite thing about them

ok real i like never get angrier playing in game than when im constantly being backstabbed by spies / my shit it getting sapped [but playing engie makes me so aggressive to begin w gfdghlksdhg] . about his actual character though ? uh . IDK REALLY LKJGHLKSJG 

favorite line

god he’s so fucking funny sometimes but really the whole speech he gives to scout in the comics when scout’s dying . also whatever he tells that baby in the smissmas comic is good . thats a dad !

brOTP

i was gonna try to pick out my fave buddies for him but i was really just listing all of the rest of the mercs glkhfdsjk but if i must limit myself Miss Pauling and Scout [his lesbian daughter and gay son]

OTP

SNIPERSPY ! close second is . literally like everyone else except pyro [and obvs anything deplorable]

nOTP

ok ignoring anything deplorable [including Pyro] . uhhh nothing rly . Spy ships are good

random headcanon

his first name is Léon ! and he’s in stealth abt being trans except to Sniper [obvs], Scout, Medic [Medic knows bc hes . the medic], and Heavy . also he learns tht he actually likes doing “dad” stuff with Scout [and Miss Pauling] through doing stupid shit with both of them . he also enjoys singing [and gets drunk during the holidays to sing holiday songs + play the piano] . also he’s half Japanese + wears colored contacts [bc i’ll die the day i give any of the mercs natural blue eyes]

unpopular opinion

UH idk many opinions about Spy bc i try to avoid most fandom spaces [despite running a discord server kjglhl] but i think . most of the time he’s overhyped [along with the other skinny white characters frm tf2] and theres a lot more interesting characters 

song i associate with them

fuck idk man Love by Of Monsters and Men or Killer Queen by Queen

favorite picture of them

im not looking for anything new ths is just what i have saved .

heavy

favorite thing about them

sweet giant russian man . also a bear [thank god] . also i love his family ?? and he’s just a cool dude ?? what’s not to love GOD I LOVE HEAVY

not enough fan content for him :[

favorite line

brOTP

again literally everyone all the mercs are best friends =__=

OTP

BABEY YOU ALREADY KNOW ITS HEAVYMEDIC

nOTP

again nothing weird [Scout or Pyro and obviously Miss Pauling]

random headcanon

autistic legend . he’s really bad at reading the room / people’s feelings and he feels bad about it sometimes . really bad at displaying emotions too . also in stealth about being trans [only out to Medic and Spy] . he smokes with Spy when he’s stressed and doesn’t drink that often . also one of the neater mercs [he was the oldest sibling !!] and had one of the cleanest rooms on base .

unpopular opinion

heavy is NOT just Medic’s bear boyfriend PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD give him more solo content @ the fandom . also he’s trans and theres like no art of it even tho he’s like . trans man legend.

song i associate with them

nOTP

SPEEDINGBULLET . ITS SO FUCKING POPULAR TOO I WANNA DIE

random headcanon

he likes walking around a lot !! cant sit still very well . always smells like the outdoors [though not always in the best way .] can sleep almost anywhere . also not really good at picking up social cues but can wing it . cant socialize for very long periods of time without getting tired . really affectionate to people who know him . can catch any animal with his bare hands . sunglasses make it harder to see [esp in the base] but he wont admit it . really self reliant . has a lot of weird talents he just picked up while he was growing up . also he’s maori bc fuck canon .

unpopular opinion

THAT MAN IS NOT 30 YEARS OLD AND ALSO SPEEDINGBULLET IS SHIT . also like i said abt spy overhyped bc he’s white twink .

song i associate with them

UH vagabonds - misterwives or the wanderer - dion dimucci or rose colored boy - paramore 

favorite picture of them

idk if i have it saved but theres that one sexy panel frm the comic

i just have ths edit but u get it . sexy .

soldier

favorite thing about them

STUPID RACCOON MAN !!!! he’s so fucking funny and i love him so much he’s so sweet .

least favorite thing about them

UH not popular enough and some of his voice lines are dumb

favorite line

literally everything Soldier says is comedy gold esp the comics w Merasmus  

brOTP

again literally anyone

OTP

DEMOSOLDIER !! and also his 2nd boyfriend is Merasmus . soldier has two hands

nOTP

soldier/engie makes me wanna die 

random headcanon

he’s really as dumb as rocks but has a heart of gold . he’s smart in where it counts [THE HEART] . he likes helping people even if he fucks up . he collects different things but eventually gets bored of it and moves onto something else . kinda shy about his appearance ?? hence the helmet . one of the more outspoken mercs, he’s not afraid to speak up if someone needs him to . doesnt understand any of Medic/Engie/Demo’s inventions/work but he admires them for it anyway . a beacon of joy for the base . they all love soldier even if he gets violent accidentally 

unpopular opinion

HELMETPARTY IS NOT GOOD . idk much else about what the fanbase thinks of him

song i associate with them

god im running out of songs frm character playlists i made months ago tht arent tf2 related at all but We All Die Young - The Decemberists or Buzzcut Season - Lorde

favorite picture of them

HE HAS SUCH A GOOD SMILE

pyro - bruce sent me another ask w pyro on it but im lazy so im doing it here

favorite thing about them

LITTLE ARSON BABY !!!! I LOVE PYRO SO MUCH

least favorite thing about them

??????????? idk people hate pyro a lot for gameplay reasons but i could never be angry :]

favorite line

all of pyro’s lines are good esp the ones where it has multiple interpretations 

brOTP

ENGIE !! THATS HIS DAD !! also Scout . and really the rest of the mercs

OTP

none . 

nOTP

really anything except ig Scout . engiepyro ? exceptionally bad imo

random headcanon

the youngest of the mercs !! self conscious about his appearance . looks up to Spy bc MASK BUDDIES . gnc nb trans man [he/they pronouns] . sees engie as a dad figure and uses the muffledness of his speech to call him “dad” sometimes >:] !!  really affectionate . doesnt have many talents besides setting things on fire but willing to learn any . hates talking about his past . has the worst sleep schedule out of the mercs [medic being a close 2nd] . speaking of medic, medic is the only one who knows what he looks like [secret buddies !!] . also calls spy “dad” sometimes .

unpopular opinion

im so fucking sorry i dont know how to play pyro besides wm1 but also i really dont give a shit if other people do it . let people play however they want . 

song i associate with them

little pistol - mother mother / machine - misterwives / lost boy - ruth b

[tomiyeee]

I associate Tim/Aurelia with Fallout's Where Did the Party Go? What song do you associate with them?

huh! interesting, cool song choice! i can see that :3

(gonna do the two of them separately and put it under a cut cuz it gets kinda long)

Tim:

Fav thing about them: he’s fun to play (he and lia are the only two vh’s i’ve ever gotten above 60), esp now that i’ve found out how to do the magic slug glitch, and his lines are cute/funnyLeast fav thing about them: it’s hard for me to really think of him as his own character w/o comparing him to jack. it’s kind of like instead of just saying “i like him”, it’s always “i like him, but i like jack better”. that’s mostly why i make fun of him so much lmao (“discount jack”). i know it’s kinda unfair but it’s hard for me to really think otherwise bc he’s got such a strong association with jack–i mean his job is literally to be him. despite my love for aurelothy, i’m honestly…p neutral towards him as a character. i want to genuinely like him, but it’s hard when everything he says/does is just kind of a reminder that he’s trying and failing to be a copy of my fav character. i know it’s harsh but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Fav line: “you don’t know…my name! [high-pitched squeal] we did it folks, yah, we did it!” because what the fuck timbrOTP: ??? i honestly don’t know…he and the digi-jacks maybe (an actual serious answer btw, cuz i like when fics portray them as having actual personalities)OTP: aurelothy~~nOTP: timh/elm and rhy/sothy (even tho i do still reblog/like some art of the latter, it’s more of just the art is nice. i tend to avoid reading fics of them)Random headcanon: post-ps, jack scarred him similarly to how he was scarred in the vault, but jack’s scar is blue bc of vault magic, like his bl2 model, while tim’s is just red scar tissue, like his “and jill” head.Unpopular opinion: i kind of don’t like drawing him with traits differentiating him and jack visually (like freckles or drawing jack in his bl2 outfit and tim in bltps). the whole point of the body double thing is that they’re indistinguishable, and i prefer using context to differentiate the two (like their dialogue or who they’re paired with, etc) rather than going against canon and what jack would probably allow. it’d just seem out of character for tim to be physically any different than jack.Song I associate with them: (i’ve got two aurelothy songs so i’ll just split it between the two of them lol) “I Wouldn’t Mind” - He Is WeFavorite picture of them: hff it’s 2am and i have school tomorrow, i don’t have time to look for a pic of him sorry! i spent long enough doing the rest of these, oopsies lol

-

Lia:

Fav thing about them: im so gay (also since i love being op in games, her elemental build + the machine is so fun for bosses)Least fav thing about them: she doesn’t have op health regen like tim and maya :(Fav line: “Oh bloody hell, it’s Alistair.”brOTP: ??? none currently but (i don’t ship this but) i feel like she and jack would have gotten along p well if it weren’t for jack’s spiral into insanity. they did have a lot in common when they first started out and it’s kinda interesting to think about…OTP: au~re~lo~thy~~nOTP: her and nisha is the only other ship i’ve seen and i don’t really like nishaRandom headcanon:oh boy a chance to talk about my headcanon/story/plotline for them! so basically when they were working for jack, lia saw tim as a servant/personal butler (she prob did for all the vh’s). even tho their relationship was more like co-workers, lia thought of it that way and tim was like “i’ve got enough bs to deal with, this might as well happen” and just kinda went along with it. lia found him particularly entertaining (and a good servant) and they both kind of enjoyed each other’s company and maybe low-key developed crushes on each other, but neither would admit it, esp lia. fast-forward to end of pre-sequel, tim continues to work under jack and lia goes hunting on epitah and other planets. they naturally start to drift apart, but it still feels really lonely and dull without the other, esp for lia, who is not keeping busy working for handsome jack like tim is. they meet up again tho when the sanctuary vh’s are gathering them all up (gaige/axton find lia and tim either gets found by sanctuary as well or somehow winds up there on his own after helios falls, idk), cue happy reunion and happily ever after, etc. i mean it’s pretty simple of a story and more of just like how their relationship would be woven into canon than it is a story of its own, but it is basically the plot i’ve been following with my art of them. also hc abt lia specifically: she totally spoils timUnpopular opinion: i kind of wish they’d shown more of her mean side in game. a lot of her npc interactions chose to focus on her polite, high-society side, and as a result she actually appears nicer than the other vh’s in some cases, like with custm-tpSong I associate with them: “Symphony” - Clean BanditFavorite picture of them: im gay~~ (also any of sinfullyhandsome’s art of her bc…oof…)
