Okay. Okay. Okay. This might be an incomprehensible series of rambling and I think I might be the only one that ships this but hear me out. I kind of just thought of it so it might be half baked but I’ve been rattling them in my brain for like 2 days now. Scout’s a guy who is an enabler of stupid shit if it means it’ll get a few laughs with a mouth that runs a mile a minute, whereas Sniper is a recluse with minimal social skills who defaults to quietly listening and being a professional™ because he’s a little unsure what else to do and ,on the other hand, we have Miss Pauling. And she is a friggin nerd. an absolute dork. Sure, she’s professional™ like sniper but she’s only slightly less socially awkward, like when she tries to awkwardly crack jokes and do impressions of the mercs’ voices when giving them contracts.  I view Pauling as being a middle ground between the Scout and Sniper sort of. Sure, she’s stern when she’s under a lot of stress and I know that the fandom likes to portray her as the team mom exclusively but CMON. Despite her high work load, she’s completely down to DM DND campaigns with the mercs, a member the Teufort bookclub and gets excited over Shakespeare reenactments in the park. She’s a professional dork that’s able to loosen up a little. And Scout ,a man with no impulse control (and he himself has a borderline nerdy interest in Tom Jones) ,egging her on is endlessly cute to me.

Although I doubt she’d infodump about her interests like Scout does, Sniper is perfectly willing listen to both of them talk his ears off if given the chance. Speaking of Sniper and Pauling, from what we hear about Pauling and Sniper’s ‘vision quest’, I feel like they’d make a good blunt rotation?? Like if Pauling had more free time she’d be down to chill and smoke a blunt with sniper.

Scout is always physically affectionate, ready to hug Sniper and Miss Pauling at any given notice, and since they’re both touch-starved they absolutely melt. (Side note: If you think Sniper is touch-starved, Miss Pauling is a whole ‘nother level. At least Sniper has his family, which is something Miss Pauling doesn’t have)

Miss Pauling definitely struggles with basic self-maintenance like eating and sleeping properly ,and since Sniper is a little awkward at being verbally or physically affectionate, he’ll help to lighten her workload by driving where she needs to be and helping her bury dead bodies to spend more time with her. Once they’re more closer though, he’ll let her sleep in his van and tuck her into bed while he sleeps on the floor. And getting up early to forage for stuff he can use to make a decent breakfast for the both of them

And okay this is a random thought but although Scout thinks of Pauling as ‘classy’ so way out of his league, but  honestly the girl doesn’t know her wines at all. Wouldn’t be surprised if she never has the time to cook and has been subsisting on cheap takeout for years up til this point.  And I’m just imagining scout and her casually going out to get fried chicken when possible kinda like that scene from the Simpsons some enchanted evening where they go to the drive through in fancy clothes and dance dorky in the car. Or better yet, scout learning how to cook (this manchild has also been subsisting off of cheap take out for years) and actually making Miss Pauling a nice meal for once. Though since she’s busy she’s making calls for contracts while eating, but lets scout know how much she appreciates him

(Admittedly I talk more about Miss Pauling’s dynamics with scout and sniper + Miss Pauling in general as opposed to Sniper and scout’s dynamic. I want to elaborate more on my brain rot but I might just send an ask about this or just make my own tumblr post about it idk. Thanks for listening to my Sniper x Scout x Miss Pauling manifesto)

Ok, so if poly ships propaganda is on, let's go !

I want to ramble about my fav, Engie x Demo x Soldier, that I named either Boots n Helmets or Explosive Science. You choose.

SO ! I see many ships were Engineer is depicted as the "mom". Like in Short Fuse or Helmet Party, he is always the one saying "No Demo, we ain't building a machine gun that can shoot explosives" or "No Soldier, we don't teleport bread".

But my point is : Boots n Bombs is a crazy ship. Soldier and Demo are madmen. They are in love in their madness and that's why I love this ship so much.

I showed the polyship to my friend and they told me that Engie should be the mom of the two madmen. But since when Engie is not a madman himself ? Since when is he sane ?

Engie is not sane. He is as crazy as the others. He chopped if his hand because a mechanical one was cooler. He smiles when he shoot peoples and he love building massive destruction devices. So why ?

Boots n Helmets is not a sane ship. This is three absolutly insane lovers bringing chaos and destruction upon the battlefield. And those insane lovers don't need a mom to be hopelessly in love.

GOD FINALLY engie is insane and i need people to RECOGNIZE THAAAAAAAAAT. he can be sweet too but if that man gets into it, he gets into it. there is no normal one. he is insane<3

houugh,,,, boots n helmets,,, explosive science,,,, ive also heard them called construction destruction a lot!!!!!!!! construction destruction my beloved<33333

im expecting them to do pretty well tbh so im excited to see the propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!! thank u for submitting yours!!!!!!!!!!!

[tf2shipswag]

i dont have any braincells for propaganda but i think other people should submit adminsaxtonsniper because its funny and sniper bisexual crisis 🫡

sniper is literally going to die they are going to kill him. saxton on accident and admin on purpose. romantically though amen

[tf2shipswag]

I’m here to bring awareness to heavy/engie/medic/spy polycule bc this polycule has the combined intelligence of at least two brain cells, and also 13 doctorates between them (maybe more if you count the ones spy has probably forged before)

Heavy and Medic were always besties, and they hold hands and kiss sometimes, but I like to think that Heavy and Engie got romantically involved first, bc they both see a kindred soul in each other like very romantic. Engie has a complex relationship with his family, so he finds it sweet that Heavy has such a good one with his. And I think Heavy at least has working knowledge of technology and engineering since he made his mini guns himself, so they definitely have things in common.

And then bc engie and spy had an on and off sort of friends with benefits thing, spy was brought in next, and he brought medic with him bc they had a mutual pining thing going on for ages and this finally spurred them to tell each other about their feelings before getting absorbed into the (hive mind) polycule. And they all read books together or share journals and other things they find interesting.

Personally I like to think their individual relationships within the polycule are varied, like some see each other as more like friends and others have more romantic feelings involved. And some relationships are a little more tumultuous, but because they have supportive partners around them it makes problems easier to smooth out.

Also spy steals everybody’s clothes to wear and the rest of the polycule finds it hilarious/cute bc the clothes are always way too big for his skinny ass. This is canon and I REFUSE any and all criticism

oh my god im insane abt this. Oh my gof

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I LOVE THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIPS AND INITIAL INTEREEEEEEESTS.

goddd i love this.

[tf2shipswag]

hi its ms.pauling x scouts mom x heavys mom shipper here like an hour later. I THINK you should consider them because 1. milf hunter pauling as a concept is very funny to me 2. we need more tf2 yuri 3. i forgor 💀

you've won me over they may or may not be going in. i will ponder

[tf2shipswag]

I know it's not much but here is my propaganda for firetrucks and vans. <3 I have so many thoughts about them, they are my silly little sweethearts

AW THEY SILYS,,, i dont look into this ship too much myself but im so drawn 2 it for some reason,, its so silly.,,,

[tf2shipswag]

Hi hi hi i was the dude that submitted scout x scout x scout!!! Very happy to hear that you liked the name AND the submission <3 (also to the anon that suggested 5km, kissing you on the mouth right now [platonic])

YEEEEEEES ive never seen a polycule just consisting of one class,, v interestinf to me, ,, putting them under a microscape and wathcing them runaroudn like Ants....

and here's the rest of op's submission for anyone else who wants to see,, silly concepts, ,, , i lov them, ,

elaboration: I AM NOT NORMAL OK IM SO SO SORRY YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BUT IM NOT NORMAL ABOUT SCOUT AND THIS IS SHIP IS ME BECOMING TOTALLY INSANE;

i like if theyre all in the same faction but work in different teams but love if its cross faction and the one that doesnt work directly to blu or red

[might i add a third party crossfaction would be fucking insane/pos with this ship especially like they are going to beat eachother to death]

[tf2shipswag]

I hope you will find my submission for Healing Blast Damage, most enjoyable to read.

If you will not, it will be, most regrettable for me.

I DID INDEED, ANON. I DID INDEED. you might've just gotten me into another ship. what the FUCK!!!!!!!!!

anon's submission:

ship: demo x soldier x medic

proposed name: healing blast damage

elaboration: "Medic has been shown to be at least more friendly to demo and jane than the other mercs (besides heavy and I'm very sorry that Red Oktoberfest won)

In expiration date, Medic gives an actual warm and genuine smile while passing him with the bread carts (If only for a moment.) And in the naked and the dead, (rip 7th comic) he agrees with soldier about blood types saying "Ha! Yes, what foolishness" despite fully knowing that they exist, probably to keep his left hand bf calm after they all died (Cuz soldier would probably go all "WHAT!?!? THE MEDICAL WORLD IS A LIE!!! AND COMMUNIST!!!" if he doesn't understand.)

And for demo, he notes that demoman tearing apart robots had him pleasantly surprised, in the next 4 panels no less. Later, he talks about how he gave demo his eye back 8 times (at least), But most overlook that Medic kept giving his eye back, despite it obviously being VERY haunted. Not very many people would do that for just a co-worker (well, maybe medic would do it out of morbid curiosity, but i digress.)

ANDDDDD, INGAME WHEN SOLDIER IS LOOKING AT A MEDIC AND DOES THE VOICE LINE "MEDIC!" HE SAYS STUFF LIKE "C'mere sweetheart!" and "C'mere pumpkin!" that doesnt seem very heterosexual to me, mr jane doe. also correct if im wrong, but isnt a demo thanks line after a medic heals "if i wasn' a man i woulda kiss ya"????? anyway sorry if this was already suggested i just lovev the sillysss"

[added spaces so it's easier 2 read^^]

[tf2shipswag]

in the same vein as the last anon u answered i hope you enjoy my nuts n bolts submission as well lol. Also im jumping onto the healing blast bandwagon rn after reading that i love them sm

HOOOOOOOOOH JUST READ IT AFTER SEEING THIS ASK. they are sillys...... The sily guys ever....

anon's submission:

ship: soldierengiemedic

proposed ship name: nuts n' bolts

elaboration: i just think theyre so cute. i havent even shipped this for relatively long they just mean a lot to me. like.... engie and medic supporting solly in battle but solly celebrating THEM after winning the battle ..... all of them being insane in their own ways...........<3 imagine if you will.

engie cutting his arm off while drunk and then solly and medic find him later. medic lectures him abt doing it without him around (because if he was he wouldve thrown a fucking party and gotten funky with it) while soldier gives terrible advice abt how to deal with it like how he did in the comics.

theyre so fucking stupid your honor. i hope u see my vision. theyre ridiculous. they deserve a win <3 <3 - tumblr user ferretwhomst
