#no one else will make heavy tf2 content so I have to do it myself

[bucketboat]

There needs to be more content of heavy with him just by himself because 99% of all heavy fanart is him with medic.

To the tf2 fandom overall heavy just seems to be a side character to medic. He can’t just exist by himself he HAS to be constant thinking about/with medic or his character isn’t worth talking about at all.

I can’t blame anyone really because yeah, medic’s a popular character, but the fandom lessens heavy’s character ALL the time & it makes me so mad.

he doesn’t exist just for others he’s a whole ass guy

Introductory Post !

I fear something of this nature is long overdue. So here it is.

I go by Lucifer and my pronouns are he/him. I'm an artist, I enjoy writing, and most of all I enjoy frolicking in anything TF2-related. Most of my art is somehow TF2-related these days. I'm back in the trenches of my biggest obsession hehee... I do have non-tf2 content that I may upload more of.

Unfortunately I don't post often. I'm more active on my main blog, @lucifer-the-fetus-eater, but I don't really post art over there, just general hijinks, rambling, and reblogging. I do dabble in SFM... So I might start posting stuff like that sometime. Who knows

For general warnings, I'm liable to post artistic depictions of blood and gore, possibly body horror, suggestive content, drug use, crude humor, and foul language. I will do my best to tag posts with the appropriate trigger warnings. Discretion is advised.

Now is a better time to mention than never that due to the general nature of my content, this blog is NOT intended for users under the age of 18. I apologize for not clarifying this sooner.

REGARDING ASKS:

I definitely should've been clear about whether or not I'm accepting requests. As of currently, I am not, since I have a bunch that are still sitting in my ask inbox and have been for months that I wanna try and fulfil before accepting any more.

I will, however, answer questions! I will answer questions about... like... anything, I guess. I'm afraid I might open pandora's box with that one, but to hell with it. Why not?

I don't want to make this too long, but below the cut I have described some blog-specific tags you'll start seeing on some of my posts.

!this post might change and update as time goes on!

Blog-specific Tags

#the magic renaissance - This is my main OC world. It's full of random fantasy crap I've cobbled together over the past like... 7-ish years. It's technically an urban fantasy since it features an alternate history Earth with magic and non-human sapient species and other neat stuff. The (segmented across time periods) story takes place surrounding six main characters. Heinz and Franz (Infernal Emperors), Adrik (Harbringer of Winter) Ritter and Winnifred (Twin Seraphim), and Connor (Son of Creation). There's a lot more, but idk how to condense it more than that just for this post.

#coarse gravel - The basic idea behind this one is "what if The Gravel Wars actually happened, and Valve was hired by the US Government to create a silly 'documentary' video game so no one would take it seriously?" It's like a version of the TF2 universe, but significantly less cartoonish with alternate, more disturbing lore. (With respawn mechanics inspired by Emesis Blue.) It takes place deep in the Rocky Mountains and focuses on the conflict between D.A.C.S, (aka Defense Area Control Squadron, a division or RED), and S.H.A.U, (aka Specialized Heavy Assault Unit, a division of BLU.)

#salem: supernatural reckoning - I haven't posted or mentioned this one at all as of writing this. Mainly because it's very new. It's way more of an elaborate shitpost than anything else... It's a TF2-based universe where these angel and demon teams run around trying to foil each other. I really let myself go crazy with this one. The conflict is between two angels of death-- one fallen, and the other still in reputable standing. One is in part responsible for the respawn machine, the other is trying to find a way to free the souls in its belly. You know how it is.

#SaveTF2 - Getting Valve to Acknowledge this, Once and for All

Alright. I'm a day late, but what does that matter? I'd rather do this a day late than never do it at all.

Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a game that I'm still very early in the learning process of. I've only been playing for a few months, and don't have even 100 hours in the game yet. And if things go the way they are, I don't think I will. Official servers are, truthfully, in an awful state. Bots are crawling in every one, and the only way to avoid them is to requeue like there's no tomorrow. There are new players every day, and I don't want to think that their first thought about this incredible game is "Wow, I can't do literally anything." It, to be honest, is heartbreaking to see this incredible game that has lived so long to be done in by this.

TF2 means so much to so many- and I so badly want to see why. I want to be in the era where it was consistently getting more content added to it, when cheaters were kicked instantly after someone caught on.

The bots are far, far worse than a cheater could ever be. They spam things in the voice chat, they can hit through walls, they have perfect aim. And even worse, most of them are snipers, meaning that then can kill you from across the entire map if you aren't careful.

I want to love this game. I want to see what makes it so fun, why people play it even over a decade later. I want to join the incredible people that make the game look so appealing, and I want to see the appeal behind it. But, with all the current flaws... I can't.

Valve has, to their credit, tried to do something. However, none of it worked. In fact, the things they did have only made the problem worse. Things like making Free-to-plays (like myself) unable to use VC/text chat. I can't even call for medic in an official server.

And Uncle Dane shouldn't be shouldering all of the TF2 community on Uncletopia. Uncletopia is where I spend most of my time when I play TF2, which hasn't been for a while. However, I can barely even do anything there because everyone else is just too good for me to get better at movement and tracking.

I can't get better because I'm fighting against people that kill me too fast for me to learn anything. I can't say that I love TF2 yet. But I want to. I want to love TF2 so badly. I want to enjoy what other people enjoy about the game.

I want to frag as Scout. I want to use incredible power as Soldier. I want to reflect as Pyro. I want to mow down the enemy as Heavy. I want to get a nasty sticky trap as Demo. I want to single-handedly defend the final point as an Engineer. I want to make a game-changing Uber push as Medic. I want to get an incredible chainstab as Spy.

I want to see this game restored to when it was at its peak. I want to build gamesense. I want to learn how to count damage numbers. I want to learn the flank routes. I want to learn how to trimp as Demoknight. I want to experience this game's full quality.

And I really, really hope that I can.

This is my #SaveTF2 post. I hope Valve gets enough to finally do something.

[hexedmaniacs]

I’m gonna make my own post about this real quick since I saw a post in the destiny tag and I am a Shithead who is constantly compelled to give my two cents

My general rule when it comes to games is if you’re not having fun just... take a break and play something else. Back in 2017-2018 I was a budding TF2 streamer and content creator, was I huge and popular? Not really but I was generally known in specific circles and manages to befriend a few big names in the comp community. If you know anything about TF2 then you should know that the game has virtually no dev team behind it right now. It’s been ages since a last major content update happened for tf2. Towards the tail end of 2018 going into 2019 a lot of my streams have devolved into me complaining about Valve not capitalizing on TF2’s comp scene (since I changed form general quick play content to actual competitive gameplay like ESEA and faceit). As well as general ‘we’re never getting an update like jungle inferno any time soon’, ‘when’s the heavy update’ and general bitching about tf2. Now- unlike valve, bungie has a very large and very active dev team behind destiny which is honestly so nice considering I spent the better part of 3 years playing nothing but tf2 and having to figure out how to make content out of the same bull shit for 3 years. But despite the amount of valid criticism I had for the game- I knew deep down I couldn’t keep playing tf2 at this rate because it just wasn’t fun to me anymore. Do I still like tf2? Of course I do, and on occasion I do play it (but with the bot pandemic I tend to keep my games few and far between)

Keeping bungie accountable and providing valid criticism and being loud about it is how you let developers know what’s wrong and what you want. But that only works if enough people cry the same thing. But there’s a fine line of valid criticism vs needless whining and bitching. And if it’s gotten to the point where all you do is bitch and whine without showing any semblance of you liking one thing in the game currently: you just gotta find a new hobby dude, doesn’t matter how long you’ve played the game. I spent a good few years developing my viewbase and persona to be exclusively tf2 and it was a struggle to decide to throw that all away upon realizing that I was forcing myself to play tf2 for the viewers rather than my own enjoyment.

My general point I was trying to make here is just because you’re a long time player, a content creator, or someone who’s considered a casual: don’t force yourself to play a game because you feel obligated. You’re allowed to take a break from a game and come back to it when it’s doing better- taking a break from a game isn’t you denouncing the game and declaring that you hate it- you can still love a game and admit that debatably for you it’s currently not fun and find something else to do. Bungie will issue some update in due time that will be the right fix you’re looking for that will make destiny a fun experience for you again. You don’t need to be silent about you’re criticism but just remember to be respectful towards the developers. These are the people responsible for curating your gaming experience and the last thing you wanna do is ruin it because you decided to call for one of the devs to be fired.

What tf2 ships do you 1. Not support 2. Support 3. Don't care for and why? (Other than spyxsniper, you told a lot about that) And I'm especially curious why you don't support engiexpyro. Not judging, it's just pretty much everyone likes it because Pyro is like a kid and engineer is patient with him and caring towards her.

Okay so, you asked for this and you will have a long-ass reply

DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to offend anyone in fact I'm only expressing my opinion on ships

•Which ones I don't support: Any ship involving FemScout, but that's because I have an internal hate for FemScout; Spy/Sniper for reasons I already explained; Engie/Pyro for the simple reason that in my opinion Pyro sees Engie more as their father than anything else, I practically consider it kind of incest by shipping it; Scout/Medic for the huge and disgusting age gap, as well as Pyro/Medic, to be honest, I don't support nearly any ship with Pyro; Admin/Pauling disgusts me for obvious reasons; Merasmus/Soldier honestly is fairly bad and please leave this old misgendered magician alone; Spy/Scout not only because incest but also because age gap; I don't also like any poly ship in general, but that's me not finding anyone to ship in more than two. And that's it for what I don't support

•The ones I support: Heavy/Medic, it's just... Good, Heavy and Medic just vibe well together; Soldier/Zhanna is my #1 OTP, they are so chaotic and happy together. Like. I love them they're so cute; then we have the equally chaotic Saxton/Mags, but I'm mad because I can't find content; Scout/Pauling ONLY AND ONLY IF Scout is genderbent, because yes, the dumbass and the stressed, I love that trope; Spy/ScoutMa for very obvious reasons, I mean, come on look at them they're so cute. And here we're done. I'm not very fond of any non-canon ships, even though, as you can see, there are a couple of exceptions

•The ones i don't care about: Literally anything else, even though there are a couple I want to mention because I'm having too much fun writing this. So, we have Engie/Soldier that I think it's one of the most shipped that I honestly don't care about, I mean, they be cute sometimes but I don't feel like shipping them; Engie/Spy is somehow not bad, I don't know exactly why but it's not bad, same thing goes for Soldier/Medic and Engie/Medic; Scout/Pyro if Pyro has an appropriate age and the relation is purely non-sexual; Scout/Sniper that is very popular and of which I myself enjoy some fics and art, but it has something that doesn't make me support them fully; Soldier/Demo is one I don't actually like much, since I see them as best friends, but they do work as a couple too.

And here we are. Here's my opinion on ships. Time to disappear. Don't get offended by my opinion, because I tried to offend no one and just focus on the ship di per se

Mayor Buckman x Reader || Oneshot

Title: Hell

Notes:

So, this was going to be Buckman fluff, because I ran out of TF2 Engineer and Soldier content to consume, but then it got deep… Maybe a fluffier part two at some point.

Plot: Y/N gets killed when she goes on a trip with her friends and crosses Pleasant Valley- of course, this is not unusual. We know this story. What’s different, is that when Y/N dies… she doesn’t, you know… leave. Her consciousness, and spirit, stay with the rest of the ghosts still lingering in what was once Pleasant Valley.

It’s human nature to grasp for comfort from anyone in similar situation to us.

Warnings: … you get killed, discussion about the afterlife, bonding with your killer?

~~~

“Well! This is… awkward… “The mayor, with the obnoxiously thick accent and yellow get-up stands at the head of the murderous population… who are all staring at me. He fiddles with his fingers nervously, looking at me then around the area and glancing at his people.

I’m sitting on the ground, surprised I can feel it in the first place- although. I guess, I shouldn’t be surprised. Some of my mates… My heart deflates horrendously, and I find it suddenly hard to breath to remember that they aren’t here anymore, but continue my train of thought. If I don’t, I won’t get anywhere at all. They did get a big frisky with the folks here, the ghosts, so… I guess, I can touch things?

I wonder horribly how much has changed. Am I stuck here like them? I glance up at them again, all talking amongst each other and peering at me like a fucking zoo animal. If I were anyone else -some omnipresent spectator, which I wish I was, - I would feel sorry for them. They wouldn’t have met anyone new like them for a long time, if what I know about them is really true. That they’re confederate ghosts from the civil war, still stuck here because of the injustice done to them.

Well, I don’t feel bad for them.

They’ve done the same thing to me and my friends that was done to them - except, I’m sure. Far more messily. I try to think back to the jubilee, but immediately an awful, searing pain racks against the front of my skull, and gasp. Both my hands go to my forehead and tears cloud my vision like I’m a baby, and I stop trying to remember. Clearly, that’s not something I want to be doing. Yet, at least.

While I knead the heel of one of my hands into my forehead, releasing remaining stress from that horrible attack, I use the other one to push myself up to my feet. Then brush off the dirt from my jeans and hug my own stomach. Looking around, I chew on my bottom lip and try to ignore the villagers. “What now?” I ask, quietly, not actually meaning for it to be escape out loud, but hoping dearly that no one hears or tries to answer me. Don’t talk to me.

I wonder, if I can leave?

Taking a deep, ironic breath, I start on my way towards the exit of this horror show, feeling better with every step put between me and these hillbilly monsters. Before I get too far though, I hear quick footsteps behind me which nearly causes me to run, before the Mayor - Buckman, - pops in front of me. His cheery, accommodating front comes off a little bit tired now, and for some reason I have a strong feeling that it’s all utter bullshit now.

“Now, now! You don’t wanna do that, missy. Promise ya’,”

“Get out of my way.”

He points behind him, at the highway I’m trying to get to and widens his eyes, shaking his head. “You go that way, you’ll get much worse than a headache, I’m tellin’ you.” He seems so trustworthy- it’s sickening.

“I’m not like you,” And by ‘you’, I think it’s understood that I mean everyone who lives in this fucking town. And I’m really hoping its true, because I can’t… I cannot, stay here for who knows how much longer. I can’t even remember what has happened to me, except that I’m dead, and all my friends are dead, that these people are the ones who did it, and that that exit is my only hope. Buckman looks really unsure, then shrugs like he doesn’t, in fact, care and stands off to the side. Shrugging.

“Well, okay! Goodluck, you go on then. See if y’ can, I’ll be waitin’ right here for you.” The aloofness of that response makes me grind my teeth at him, then determinedly go ahead. I think I’ve done it, in fact, and a small, relieving smile make sits way to my face when I pass the ‘Welcome to Pleasant Valley’ sign and then I’m remember something one of the villagers said before the jubilee, during our short stay about the property actually ending a metre ahead of it and then it happens.

It feels like the ground disappears beneath me, but truth be told it didn’t. I just ceased to have the ability to stay atop it, and like I walked right off a cliff I drop at such a high speed my ears pop down, down, down. I open my mouth and scream, too scared and too heavy -no, too light. Like a weight absolutely nothing, worse than a feather. Like atoms and that’s all, - to move my arms cover my eyes or my mouth or anything.

I just slip, down into the crevasses of earth. I don’t even feel the heat when I reach the core, I just see bright light and get a headache worse than anything. Much worse than before- worse than if I got my insides ripped out and then had to snort them back up through my nose. I scream harder, until my throat scratches,

And then it stops. All the pain disappears, and it’s at the same time a total relief, and the scariest shit I’ve ever endured. To feel nothing, to want nothing, to care about nothing.

It was just all turned off. And for a full minute -it felt like forever, - I was just alone and knew. If I tried to get out a again, this would be done to me again. And it would be permanent. Like the world was giving me, a mistake, something that wasn’t supposed to happen because when you die, it is the way of the world that you go somewhere else, a choice. Stay here, in Pleasant Valley with these horrible, disgusting, nasty people who killed your friends and did this to you in the first place, or be… nothing. Consciously, nothing.

And then I’m dropped back on my knees on the other side of the Pleasant Valley sign, breathing in deep gulps of air that I probably don’t need, so hard that it hurts and clutching my stomach. I know, I’m vaguely aware that the Pleasant Valley people are still around, and they might be watching but in this moment I don’t care. I know they were given the same ultimatum, and at some level I understand.

But the rest of me is still on fire, at the thought of spending the rest of… forever,… with these people who I hate, in this place that I hate.

And I miss my friends. And my family, and my home. God, I just want to go home… I have never felt so hopeless, and helpless before.

Someone kneels down in front of me and arms guide me in and then I’m sobbing. Or maybe I was already, and only just started to realise it when tears started to absolutely drench a yellow fabric, but the point is I’m racked with despair. I can’t even barely hold on to them back, I’m shaking too much and every time I think I can hold them back another sob wrecks me and any fictitious hold on myself disappears again.

So, I just lean onto them because the strength in my body has disappeared, from fatigue and crying this time not because of some otherworldly force taking it from me. And I cry. Not only that, I scream. I scream so much, at some point as the sky goes dark I realise that I shouldn’t be able to scream so much, my vocal chords should stop working, should break, but they persist like its nothing.

And that convinces me that I’m dead.

I stop crying for a second, and I think it’s over. I think, stupidly, that I’ve come to terms with it… and then it all starts again.

___TIME SKIP___

I must have fallen asleep at some point, which I’m glad I can still do for a second before I remember the situation I’m in and that I feel asleep because I was so exhausted from crying. A hiccup forces its way from my throat, and I try to raise my head from the surface its rested on, but feel too tired too and weak to succeed, and return to it. Forcing my eyes to crack open, to retrieve some of the self-pride that I’ve most definitely lost after that whole show of weakness, to see where I am.

My eyes hurt to open, and tears still stain all over my face, and there’s a dull ache in my forehead from all the stress that the sobbing put it through, but I manage to understand where I am.

Outside, still. Its very dark, but, due to not being in the city, the moon and the stars are really bright. Its amazing, a tiny saving grace to this whole mess. For a moment, I feel peace. Like if the sky stays like this, and I don’t move, and no one comes near me, I’ll always feel this peaceful and it’ll be okay.

Then the surface my head’s rested on moves and I remember that that notion is ridiculous and I have so much hardship ahead of me. “You’re awake then? Expected you to be asleep for a couple more hours, at least! You went through a bit of a breakdown earlier this evenin’, missy!”

Missy.

Slowly, due to my head hurting, things start to come together, and I connect words to voice, to arms that held me earlier, to murderer. Villain. Monster.

Mayor Buckman.

I try to get up immediately and go anywhere else, avoiding even looking at him because I’m afraid it’ll make me cry again, but halfway up my body gives a spasm and I’m forced back down to lean on my elbows. “Ow… “I whine, feeling my head complain angrily, and throb in my hand.

“You best stay down a little longer, Y/N. I promise ya’, gettin’ up’ll go way better then.”

“What are you doing… “I ask, slowly as to not agitate my head anymore. My eyes close, and my elbow returns to ground to help me stay up and off Buckman’s shins- goddamn 18th century societal rules. Those things are hard, and the back of my head hurts now.

“Giving you a neighbourly hand! As mayor o’ this here town, it’s my job and my pleasure, to… “I don’t have the energy to cut him off or fight right now, so I just let him drown on a bit more but don’t listen. He isn’t answering my question, so I’ll just wait until I can easily cut in and ask more directly.

Oh, god, his voice is loud, and it doesn’t assist my headache at all.

It’s I don’t know how long after he stops talking that I actually realise he’s stopped talking and I’ve been blissfully enjoying the silence, that I manage to respond again. “Yeah… I know, yeah. But… why?”

“Lie on back down.” The thought of resting back down on the stony shins of death makes my stomach role and my head protest. Oh, no. When I don’t respond, or do as he directed, Buckman lets a restrained groan go and I hear him shift out of discomfort. I don’t open my eyes, though. “Y/N,” Surprisingly, he remembers my name from a few days ago. “We’re alike, now. Now, I know you don’t like me, or any of us. For good reason,” He sounds sincere. Actually, he sounds the most real now than he has since we met. Not quite as loud, or flashy. “But… you’re one of mine now. And I take care of my own.”

Cracking my eyes open again, I turn my head painfully to see his face and see if he’s lying. The stars offer just enough light to never be able to tell for sure, annoyingly enough. But, make out his eyepatch because its much darker than the rest of his face… and suddenly, forcefully a memory leaks back into my brain.

From the jubilee.

There’s… fire, an upturned table… and lots of people.

I’m tied to another table, with rope twisting too tightly around my wrists and there’s a… something warm, heavy, and scarily head shaped on my lap that I’m afraid to look down at. Blood trickles from it, between my thighs.

But no one paying attention to me, I’m not the main event. So, I don’t get to figure out which of my friends’ remains, has been left in my lap.

Everyone’s looking at Buckman. Future victims in utter horror and villagers in fury and patriotic madness- for good reason. All of them.

I remember him mad. Raving. Totally pissed, and he’s got a sword raised above his head. He took off his eyepatch, that I’m looking into now, and its revealed that past it… is a nightmare. A horrendous, painful, disgusting nightmare. Live maggots, and a gaping hole, that was given to him during the massacre that stuck him here in the first place.

Now, I don’t know exactly what this means right now for me, or for these people, because my head aches and I’m still so tired, and broken because… because they killed my friends and me and that’s unforgivable. I look away from Buckman’s face and slowly rest myself back down, this time scootching over pointedly so my head rests on his lap instead.

It’s a difficult, hard, step towards a better future. A future in which, one day, I don’t have to pretend he’s someone else when I do this or… be anywhere near him. As I’m sure I will be doing for a while after this.

Though, it is made easier by the fact that, at some level, he has helped.

Of course, he is also the reason I’m here, which is what makes this all so twisted.

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

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

Comic Critique #1

NO, NOT MY FAVORITE TEAM FORTRESS 2 CHARACTER! MEDIC NOOOOOOO!

Christ Valve, what do you have against Medic! First, you send out an okay update where he barely gets any lines... Then you send out a crappy update where he gets no lines AT ALL, in which you give him a thing to replace the use of the quick-fix... Then you have his voice actor randomly call us up in September to say hi for a bit... Then you give him the best scream fortress item of 2016, AND NOW YOU HAVE HIM DIE IN ONE OF YOUR COMICS!?!?!?! 

Now, I really don’t want to question your idea on this, but I just have to ask because it’s the only question that has been on my mind this whole year... DO YOU LOVE HIM OR NOT, I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE!!! 

Sorry guys, I really am excited that FINALLY the comics are here, but at the same time, this picture does seem promisingly well drawn... and that’s why I’m going to talk about it with you guys for my first Comic Critique.

I like how they managed to fit all the characters from the comic onto on cover. There expressions really match with what’s going on in the picture, especially with that sad teardrop blue color scheme.

I also love the focus point, though it might not be in my taste. It still manages to catch my eye by shifting from that sad blue to an anguished red color that settles in the background, sorta’ like this is taking place during dawn. How the Heavy screams as he mourns for the loss of his dear comrade and coworker, dead and covered in holes on his chest.

This could be symbolism for the fact that there hero has fallen, as referenced by the fact that the cover is a redraw of a Superman comic cover.

Why they chose this specific cover could also be foreshadowing what might happen to the Medic. Now I’m only just speculating from what I know, but if medic does die in the comics... (which we all better hope doesn’t happen) he might end up coming back to life due to the fact that he is joked about as the “Ubermensche” in game. And what does that mean when translated... it means SUPERMAN! This means that he might comeback in some sort of way or form that will probably be of much importance in the seventh and final installment of the numbered comics. Or I could just be paranoid like everyone else and maybe it’s just a stupid cover concept they used to lure us suckers in like fish on a hook, and oh did we bite the shit out of that hook. Now all they have to do is reel us in right? Well, they’ve already done that by portraying something that might be speculated spoiler for the new comic. Why I highlighted that word is because it’s obvious that some of us are not to sure if this whole thing is true or not. I mean for all we know, they might be lying about it coming out this week and decide to push it back even further. Aside from that, we shouldn’t be so quick to judge a book by it’s cover.... unless your me... and your doing a review on it.  __M_Y__R_A_T_I_N_G_______________________________________

Coloring: 9/10 Nice color scheme, it fit’s the theme of the cover but it’s a little too boring in the rest of the picture.

Contrast: 10/10 Beautiful, I like how the shading really helps make the perspective more visible. It also works with how gloomy and subtle the atmosphere of the picture is too.

Perspective: 10/10 The perspective is really good too, I like the arrangement of characters hiding in the background while the center of attention (Heavy and Medic) manage to literally capture all the spotlight. Technique: 8/10 I really like way how Heavy and Medic are drawn, this being a comic cover it’s always impressed me how detailed the TF2 covers can be. However for this instance, the characters in the background seem to be lacking in much further detail. But I can understand the need to leave it like this because of the need for all of the focus to be in the front of the cover.

Subject: 10/10 The cover manages to hook in the crowed with an idea of what could happen in the comics, specifically what might happen after Medic tries to fight Classic Heavy or the Leech Robots. The tone really conveys a sad image that might lead anyone who cared about these two characters to tears. Overall Effort: 9/10 There was quite a lot of effort that went into making this cover, and though it has a few tiny little things. This was well designed and the layout of everything is well drawn too. Whatever it’s trying to warn us about when the comic does release, does look promising judging by how amazing and legit it looks.  ________________________________________________________________ My Final Thoughts So I have two questions to ask myself that probably who ever was willing to read through this whole thing will ask. First question, is the comic cover good? Yes... In fact, it managed to get me intrigued into looking forward to the new comic. I was so hyped, I EVEN WROTE A REVIEW ABOUT IT! What are my feelings about the new comic coming out?... IT’S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME! I really hate how long it took for this thing to come out, I would be even more hyped to see it if they hadn’t worn down my patience with how bad most of this year’s content was for the game and how long it took for them to get the comic done. Valve, if your reading this... I hope that this comic doesn’t turn out rushed, sloppy, and is very well written because I’m planning to do a review on that too. If I really like it, I’ll even do an analysis on every single comic and cover you guys send out. Hell, I’ll make a whole damn webpage all about it if I have to, so stay tuned folks and feel free to add any criticism on my own criticism.

#SaveTF2 - Getting Valve to Acknowledge this, Once and for All

Alright. I'm a day late, but what does that matter? I'd rather do this a day late than never do it at all.

Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a game that I'm still very early in the learning process of. I've only been playing for a few months, and don't have even 100 hours in the game yet. And if things go the way they are, I don't think I will. Official servers are, truthfully, in an awful state. Bots are crawling in every one, and the only way to avoid them is to requeue like there's no tomorrow. There are new players every day, and I don't want to think that their first thought about this incredible game is "Wow, I can't do literally anything." It, to be honest, is heartbreaking to see this incredible game that has lived so long to be done in by this.

TF2 means so much to so many- and I so badly want to see why. I want to be in the era where it was consistently getting more content added to it, when cheaters were kicked instantly after someone caught on.

The bots are far, far worse than a cheater could ever be. They spam things in the voice chat, they can hit through walls, they have perfect aim. And even worse, most of them are snipers, meaning that then can kill you from across the entire map if you aren't careful.

I want to love this game. I want to see what makes it so fun, why people play it even over a decade later. I want to join the incredible people that make the game look so appealing, and I want to see the appeal behind it. But, with all the current flaws... I can't.

Valve has, to their credit, tried to do something. However, none of it worked. In fact, the things they did have only made the problem worse. Things like making Free-to-plays (like myself) unable to use VC/text chat. I can't even call for medic in an official server.

And Uncle Dane shouldn't be shouldering all of the TF2 community on Uncletopia. Uncletopia is where I spend most of my time when I play TF2, which hasn't been for a while. However, I can barely even do anything there because everyone else is just too good for me to get better at movement and tracking.

I can't get better because I'm fighting against people that kill me too fast for me to learn anything. I can't say that I love TF2 yet. But I want to. I want to love TF2 so badly. I want to enjoy what other people enjoy about the game.

I want to frag as Scout. I want to use incredible power as Soldier. I want to reflect as Pyro. I want to mow down the enemy as Heavy. I want to get a nasty sticky trap as Demo. I want to single-handedly defend the final point as an Engineer. I want to make a game-changing Uber push as Medic. I want to get an incredible chainstab as Spy.

I want to see this game restored to when it was at its peak. I want to build gamesense. I want to learn how to count damage numbers. I want to learn the flank routes. I want to learn how to trimp as Demoknight. I want to experience this game's full quality.

And I really, really hope that I can.

This is my #SaveTF2 post. I hope Valve gets enough to finally do something.
