its 6am, i havent slept, im bored, so im posting a list of the mercs in order of whom i like the most and reasons why, because thats something i should do i guess?
here goes
(spoilers for the comics down below but either way i think im the only person on earth who has never read them before now)
~~~
~~1. Medic~~
reasons for being my favourite:
• fucking. look. at. him. 👌
• 'mad german doctor' is one of my favourite tropes and he is a pretty bang-on satirical depiction of it
• cute-ass german accent
• he has pet pidgeons hE LOVES HIS PIDGEON PALS THEY KEEP HIM COMPANY
• healers are the most respectable class imo and since Medic pretty much started it he's automatically the best, thats how it works right?
• he sold some random persons soul to satan in exchange for a ***ballpoint pen*** and can i just say, fucking mood??? (he is literally the "i'd sell you to satan for one cornchip" meme)
• "yes, Archimedes...I couldn't agree more." *shudders* b oi .. .
• so many more reasons to love this gross old doctor so little room in Tumblrs posts.
~~2. Spy~~
reasons for being my second favourite:
• cranky, done with everyones shit, just wants to be left alone, fucking mood
• he's a spy i mean c'mon. look at the swanky-ass suit, look at the class radiating from this asshole.
• he may be a dick but he has a soft side he's just too jaded to show it most of the time (see: Scouts death in the comics?? real tears. honestly wish they'd panned that out more.)
• masks are hot tbFH--
• he enjoys a nice glass of whisky by the fireplace and so do i (fun fact: france is the biggest importer of scottish whisky in the world so its a nice touch)
• shapeshifting is fucking cool are you serious like he can just. do that. what a legend
• "i have a cyanide pill in one of my molars, if i break it then spit some in your mouth before i die, we can avoid being tortured." *'heavy' bursts in to save them* "PFFTHBTHF--"
• "SEDUCE ME."
• arrogant frenchman is one of my other favourite tropes and this is the most arrogant frenchman ive ever seen
• he's the only fully sane Merc, maybe apart from Engie.
• people love to hate him bc he's an asshole but...come on. after working with all those other weirdos for years, you'd be pretty jaded too.
• as a gross shipper, he's the easiest and the most fun (imo) to ship with Medic (rip me)
~~3. Pyro~~
reasons for being my third favourite:
• would have tied with Soldier if it werent for that one picture of them in the comics holding a puppy over their head with the most adoring expression on their mask??? good Pyro. goodest Pyro.
• doesn't do much in the comics but makes up for it in pure charm. look at that soulless face and tell me you dont love it.
• ambiguous gender ambiguous gender amBIGUOUS GENDER AMBIGUOUS GENDER. she/he/they? trans? nb? whatever you headcanon, it'll never be confirmed so its literally up to your own imagination. fucking ace, Valve 👌👌👌
• likes to burn things. god damnit. they like to burn things, guys. but they enjoy it so much, you just cant hate them, you can only feel a sympathetic joy that this precious lunatic is having fun in their own little world.
• canonically mentally ill (schizoprenia? it could be hallucinogenic drugs but i like to think its schizophrenia.)
• pretty sure they burned a pair of pedophiles in the comics. at least i think thats what those panels were insinuating. "lets open an orphanage and have an endless supply of kids to--" sounds pretty red-flaggy to me tbh. plus they were the villains so, eh?
• bludgeoned a bear to death until its skull was pulp because it insulted their special interest. you go, Pyro.
• for a few bits in the comics they have a really cute family dynamic going on with other Mercs, Soldier for example."Miss Pauling, Pyros on my side of the car." "Miss Pauling, Pyro cut off my hand." fuckin' cuties.
• when they start putting on like 50 shirts to keep warm in the Russian mountains. chubby.
• a gas mask that can function as both badass, and completely adorable.
• just. everything about them. how could you not love them. they're not in the wrong, you are. stay away from my misunderstood child and let them burn things god damnit.
~~4. Soldier~~
look I'm sorry, I love Soldier and he was gonna be tied with Pyro but that fucking puppy drawing sold me.
• absolute gold every second he speaks. he could sneeze and i'll laugh.
• such a dumbass you cant get annoyed at him for it. like. just agree with him and move on. no point reasoning with a boulder. "haha! silly Miss Pauling, thinking theres different types of blood." Medic: "haha yes! indeed, silly."
• HUTTAH *NECK SNAP*
• i'm not American and even i can see how blatantly his character mocks stereotypical Patriotic Americans™. but its so dumb and laughable, its adorable.
• EVERYTHING ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ZHANNA IS A BLESSING. EVERYTHING.
• the first "meet the Mercs" video i ever saw was "meet the Soldier" so he holds a special place in my heart
• (preaches about experiencing the horrors of war; has never actually been to war. shh dont tell anyone though--) *neck gets snapped*
~~5. Demoman~~
• I'm Scottish. even though his accent is absolute garbage (no offense to the VA), any representation is very nice.
• Black AND Scottish?? i mean has a character like that even existed before TF2??? amazing example of representation right there. there are barely even any black people in Scotland, how did this happen. I love it. more of this, please.
• he's a drunk guy who blows shit up for shits and giggles and god I wish I could too, sounds like a miracle stress-reliever.
• his sassy black scottish mother. combining the stereotypical black mother with the stereotypical scottish mother is literally the best thing that ever happened.
• the bit in the comic where Medic explains that Demo can't remember what happened to his eye bc he scooped out part of his brain, and the look on Demo's face. just. the look.
• again, he's scottish, he's stereotypical, and he's awesome.
~~6. Sniper~~
• underrated
• piss jars. piss jars everywhere.
• "no dad, im not a crazed murdering lunatic, I'm an assassin. ...well one's a job and the other's mental sickness!!"
• "meet the Sniper" has kickass music
• ruffled gross old man who isn't actually old, he's just seen some SHIT
• actually given development in the comics + some really good scenes with Spy.
• so suave...so...handsome. handsome ruffled bushman. me like.
• he dies first in the comics but gets brought back and gets a cool-ass scar. and then he's just walking around naked everywhere for the rest of the comic. Medic, where the fuck did you put his clothes.
• isn't actually Australian. thats like one of the biggest twists in the comic. "no wonder i was never inhumanly strong and my chest hair didn't grow into the shape of Australia!!" Classic.
• says "bugger" a lot and i love that word
• he needs a hug, let me hug him. and give him a bath.
~~7. Heavy~~
I'm gonna be crucified for putting the big lad so low but i promise i dont dislike any of the Mercs. he'd be higher up but...ive never really liked big huge tank-men tbh :/
• loveable as fuck
• will murder you if you bully his puny little Medic
• i looove Russian accents omfg
• he like big gun. i can respect that.
• when Medic was killed and he went APESHIT on Classic!Heavy and I lost my fuckin' mind over that shit
• he probably has a soft spot for small cute animals. i love imagining him being swarmed by Medics flock of doves and petting them like "good bird...so many good bird..."
• actually smarter than people give him credit for???
• i really really wish his character was a lil more fleshed out but. that's just me. i love him but he doesn't have the same appeal to me as Medic or Spy.
• his entire relationship with Medic...ugh. yes. best friends and/or boyfriends. all good to me 👌
• he named his gun Sasha and that's adorable
~~8. Engineer~~
• gOD, FUCK, I REALLY WISH HE DID MORE IN THE COMICS. i barely know anything about his character. i like him a lot but...god, he...he doesn't...do.....anything.......
• he built a cool robot arm for himself and AI turrets and teleporter machines and guns that fire magic healing powers and immortality machines, in the 1960s. what. some kind of wizard fuckery is this.
• smoothest voice in the west
• "y'all"
~~9. Scout~~
oh god i really am gonna be crucified. i dont hate him i just. like him the least.
• shitboy
• reminds me of a shitty ex but also kinda relateable in a way
• some genuinely funny bits in the shorts.
• gross horny hetero teen boy with a god complex and serious daddy issues. also, he can't read. the "sex bom" tattoo on his chest will be an eternal testament to that. nice job, Spy. you raised him good.
~~~
hoo boy there we go theres all the boys, all the beautiful boys (and Scout) in order of how much i love them. if i made any errors in my info about the canon, feel free to send me death threats 💙 (no seriously tell me though, being a newbie is embarrassing)
so uh. yeah. that took two hours to write. its now 8am. im still bored lol. bye i guess.

The Atlanta Hawks' Pacman, and other logos people see totally wrong
If you failed to see the bat in the Batman logo, please identify yourself.
This morning, a few coworkers of mine suddenly realized the Atlanta Hawks logo is ... a hawk.
via SportsLogos.net
If you view the logo in its inverse, it looks kinda like an elderly Pacman spitting out his tooth. This is a known phenomenon, so much so that the logo and its original ‘70s version are affectionately known as “Pacman.”
I can totally see how someone might make that mistake with a logo that incorporates only two colors. Flip the positive and negative space and you see something totally different. Talking about this brought up more examples. The one that dumbfounded me most was my coworker Alex admitting that he failed to see the bat in the “Batman” logo for most of his childhood:
Squint and focus on the upper or lower yellow region, and you might see it, too. It’s like a set of long, flappy gums or strangely round teeth. To my surprise, Alex isn’t alone in this:
Neither could I. Thought it was a pair of uvula and a couple of molars https://t.co/bYE6PiYViq
— Janaki Lenin (@JanakiLenin) May 25, 2017
same tbh i'm not proud of it https://t.co/NyUx49lvd8
— Alex McDaniel (@AlexMcDaniel) May 25, 2017
But now I can promise you’ll never be able to un-see the mouth:
@celebrityhottub http://pic.twitter.com/ZtQpOdwKCn
— Scott Harris (@eightfootrobot) May 25, 2017
So now my question is: What other familiar logos have the potential to trick the mind like this? I’m not talking about intentionally hidden, secondary representations, which are found all over sports — the Brewers glove logo is an “mb,” the Falcons logo is an “F,” the Tostitos logo includes people eating dipping chips, the FedEx logo has an arrow in it, etc. Those are all clever logos meant to be read a few different ways by a sharp eye.
I’m also not talking about manipulating a logo to make it look like something else.
This is different. This is people interpreting non-information in logos as information, to the point that they miss the obvious thing the logo actually represents. The Batman logo is not supposed to be a mouth. The Hawks logo was not meant to be a Pacman.
For example, it took me until about ten years ago to see the Prudential logo as a big rock ...
... instead of a misshapen howling wolf:
I dunno, man. I think it’s just a matter of your eye catching the wrong color in something the first time you see it. Like, if you miss it the first time, this could easily be some sort of abstract swirly design instead of a cat head:
@seth_rosenthal I'm from Pennsylvania, and for probably the first 12 years of my life I never saw the lion in the Penn State logo http://pic.twitter.com/hgsWuPb2yA
— Glamour Muscle Morty (@mortysilvercarp) May 25, 2017
Or this:
I live in WA, never realized the blobs on highway signs were Washington until an our-of-towner pointed it out. https://t.co/9GI45WSSnX http://pic.twitter.com/jE8KbWajXJ
— Matthew Baldwin (@matthewbaldwin) May 25, 2017
I prefer this interpretation of the X-Men logo:
@celebrityhottub Also this was 4 pizza slices on a yellow plate http://pic.twitter.com/Sa2SUuCCfr
— Noah Neidlinger (@candor_for_sale) May 25, 2017
And this:
@seth_rosenthal @celebrityhottub was this a conference table with 8 private work stations? http://pic.twitter.com/m1QAzt4RyS
— SUPERCAMPION (@Alexaitis) May 25, 2017
... and ... I guess we’ve gotta excuse this one, too:
@seth_rosenthal I had this with Superman! I just saw the yellow parts as a cool abstract design
— Ben Mathis-Lilley (@BenMathisLilley) May 25, 2017
I want to hear more. What logos — sports or otherwise — have you misinterpreted? Again, we’re not talking about missing hidden or secondary information. I’m talking about completely failing to see THE thing a logo is supposed to represent.
