#this is. my pyro loadout. my boy :)

i am not immune to a meme

[butchfortress]

realized i havent posted here much so, umm,

who wants to hear about my blu team headcanons ^__^ this is just my rundown of how they work, what they're like, and even weapon loadouts

ok so im going to roll with the teams being clones, but i dont want to make any sort of drama to be just about that, like that whole existential dread of being a clone thing. its been done to death and i have nothing new to say for it (besides, i'd assume the inital cloning process was years ago when they just got hired, by now the novelty would of worn off and weirder stuff would of happened for them to even care or worry about that.) so what i'm thinking is that there's no way everyone would have the exact same experiences after they get cloned, so everyone just splits off into their own paths and they become their own individuals almost. and interacting with themselves from the other teams isnt "oh thats literally me :(" but more so "oh thats literally me and i need to be better than him >:(" so theres always this bit of competition between everyone; an infinite loop of anything you can do i can do better.

as for everyone individually...... (i'll also throw in a ⭐ for whoever is the "master copy" of themselves)

blu scout: short stop / mad milk / stock bat

accidental honorary delivery boy. when miss pauling is busy with the actually important work, admin sends this scout around the teufort area to send out weapons and other mann co. products. red scout sees him as a bit of a poser poster child and they butt heads often, especially when red scout is off-shift while blu is making deliveries.

blu soldier: rocket jumper / b.a.s.e. jumper / market gardener

if not maybe a bit more of a conspiracy nut and more compliant to the company, i guess the most similar to his original version? can't beat perfection i guess, not a lot of notes here but they probably bite each other for fun.

blu pyro: decreaser / shotgun / neon annihilator

not visually different or note worthy either, but whatever she and red pyro have is unspoken, vicious, and brutal. they will tear each other limb by limb anytime they're in proximity. definitely another reason that fuels most of the team's fear towards them.

blu demo ⭐: iron bomber / scottish resistance/ nessie's nine iron

strategic, cool, and a bit of a schemer. a real master at his craft with sticky bombs and planning traps. red demo actually likes him but blu HATES him since he (red) got the eyelander and he (himself) didn't, so he's very bitter towards him (wow this is confusing.)

blu heavy: tomslav / family business / eviction notice

goes missing from base a lot, no one knows why. he seems to be doing illegal assassin work both inside and out of company payroll. both heavies actually are in contact often and blu gives a good chunk, if not all, of what he makes to him. i'd assume any of the clones visiting anywhere outside of the immediate tuefort area would be problematic and would have restrictions to prevent two of the exact same person from walking around in the world at once, so blu heavy lets his other self take it so long as it goes directly to his mom and sisters. if he can't visit them personally, at least him knowing they're stable financially and doing well is more than enough for him.

blu engineer ⭐: rescue ranger / wrangler / wrench

the dell conagher, enough said. he's the most in contact with admin behind miss pauling for her own purposes. he'd rather not think about his red counterpart, but i will say that this version does not have the gunslinger. that was all red engineer post-cloning. but he does have the only australiam tool between both teams so it balances out maybe.

blu medic ⭐: overdose / vaccinator / solemn vow

he thinks hes dr fritz ludwig from emesis blue 🤣🤣🤣 tries VERY hard to be a cold collected scientist but ends up being more neurotic and jumpy. screams a lot. actually maybe dislikes his team? and loathes his own red copy for actually trying (who btw (red) is having a great time knowing his existence is an abomination to god, its even an affirmation he tells himself in a mirror.)

blu sniper: huntsman / razorback / kukri

ironically one of the few blu team members that actually stay put in the base. he doesnt call his folks as per aforementioned restrictions, but he has no beef with his red counterpart for that. the worst they do is get extremely competitive; theyre at the top of their game and even have stand offs of just aiming for hours until someone flinches.

blu spy ⭐: revolver / black rose / dead ringer / red-tape recorder

the man, the myth, the legend. more carefree and unserious than red spy, thats partially because he doesn't know about scout's relation to him. red spy found that out post-cloning, he's missing that one bit or character development that makes him a more mature and cold mercenary, but at this moment he's none the wiser. so aside from expected spy vs. spy shenanigans, their conflict is a bit more deeply rooted. he actually visits the red base a LOT, to only a few people's knowledge. makes a lot of long tangents.

[tf2yuri]

hi midi im a little curious, who do you main in tf2? idk if you provided that info already but im feeling a liiiitle nosy right now.... in my years of playing the game i was maining mostly demoman but i dabbled in some sniper too. wasnt the best when it came to aim compared to now so i used the huntsman a lot for those "randomly let go of the charge key and get a kill" shots JDKFHSP both were fun to use tho. you?

im a soldier boy 🫡😎 i was using the direct hit for a while for the speed but then i realised my aim is ass so i use the original now. im not too good at rocket jumping but it is quite fun! i dont tend to do it because of the damage making it more risky. i have the gunboats but i dont use them in my main loadout cuz it means having to give up my shotgun which is #scary !

i dont play sniper much but if i do ill either use the huntsman or sydney sleeper. my aim is not that accurate and my lag most certainly doesnt help LOL. jarate always stays on secondary tho 💪

my second most played class is pyro. i dont play them as much nowadays but i used to play as her a lot during my early days. sometimes i just like to w+m1 and thats okay 👍

demoman is actually my least played class LOL ! its due to the Scary but i want to figure him out bc last time i played as him i did have fun even if i wasnt very good, and i did manage to get a few good kills!

(For the art meme) 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 20

putting a readmore to keep this from cluttering the dash

7. show us a WIP

mika, ALL my works are wips

uuuhhh i've got... a half-finished drawing of the scariest bitch in yume nikki no i will not take any constructive criticism on my bizarre sense of fear

9. show us a finished piece right alongside the original sketch

me, who usually deletes the sketch as soon as it's not needed:

the sketch layer(s) usually only remain if i'm rushing something and thus not caring as much about keeping behind-the-scenes shit super clean and organized as long as the final version looks fine.

10. how many different sketches do you usually have until your piece is finished

...one, technically? i'll usually just do the sketch and either fix it as i go along or just like... fix shit at the lineart stage lol.

11. show us the last thing you drew, be it a finished piece or a small doodle

as of the answering of this particular question, i was working on part of Something™ and these are the most recent additions so uh. have fun with this knowledge ig.

12. show us an old drawing

okay i dug some and oh boy are you ready for this?

this is an OLD picture of a painting i did in my senior year of high school during the height of my gregory horror show obsession. i never actually got to finish it completely before the deadline so there's just this fukcign annoying pink splotch on catherine's outfit but despite that and the admittedly sloppy work overall i like... got pointed out for my color scheme or use of color or something during an art showcase at the school? it's been years idk.

i think it's still sitting around somewhere actually?

14. digital or traditional

i can do both, but digital is just easier to work with for me

20. a piece from this year that you're really proud of

...does multimedia count? if so, i made this poster of my tf2 pyro loadout/sona with a combination of sfm and firealpaca sakjdsd.

[deerskewl]

2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27?

2. Favourite merc?

Don't make me choose :( but if I absolutely have to, it's Spy or Medic. For obvious reasons, I think.

3. Least favourite merc?

I don't want to say that I have a least favourite merc, because I love all of them, but..... I suppose I don't have as much of an attachment to Soldier? Which sucks because he's really cool I just don't hold him as much as I do the others?

4. Casual or Competitive?

Imagine being good enough at the game to play Competitive, this post was made by the me gang. Yeah no I play Casual on Attack/Defend and Payload exclusively.

5. First map you ever played?

I honestly don't remember, probably Upward? That sounds about right. Or uhhh Dustbowl?

7. How many hours do you have for TF2?

*quickly loads up Steam to check* uhhh that's 234 hours exactly :)

8. When did you start playing TF2?

I. uhhh don't exactly know? I got into it about 2016 but I didn't know how to play it— wait I can check my achievements uhhhh 2017 it seems! Whack.

10. Favourite song from the TF2 soundtrack?

I gotta be honest with you, I actually love More Gun a lot?? Of course all three of Medic's themes and specific Dapper Cadaver I love a lot too but there's something about Engie's theme that just makes me go :)

11. If you had to main any merc for the rest of your life, who would you choose?

Either Pyro or Sniper, actually. While I don't have as many hours on Sniper I think I could play him just as well, and I think both of those are the most versatile for me? Because while I love playing Medic sometimes you just need to go feral and burn shit down but also stand 20 ft away from everyone at all times and I already live in a constant state of anxiety I don't need to play in a constant state of anxiety as Spy.

14. How did you hear about TF2?

I'll be completely honest. I have no fucking idea. I think I just.... somehow saw one of the Meet The Team videos and went HOLY FUCK, combined with my cousin introducing me to the game?

15. Favourite thing about TF2?

Every part about it, it's fun. The game is fun to play, the characters are so interesting and wonderful, the ideas people come up with, the fanart and fanfiction is creative and brilliant. Of course I'm sidestepping around problems like the aimbots and the people with horrifically bad takes, but if you know where to keep yourself, then TF2 is just overall really nice and fun.

19. Loadouts?

OHH BOY OK. I'll go with the ones I have actual loadouts for sjdnjs:

For Pyro I usually have stock Flamethrower (Smalltown Bringdown Mk.II warpaint) or Backburner, Shotgun and The Lollichop for weapons, then Candy Cranium (painted A Deep Commitment To Purple and renamed "no braincells only candy"), Party Hat and The Sub Zero Suit for cosmetics.

For Medic I have the Blutsauger, stock Medi Gun (Night Owl Mk.II warpaint) or Quick-Fix, and Ubersaw (Smissmas Sweater warpaint) for weapons, and some combination of the Dad Maddendoktor, Madmann's Muzzle, Derangement Garment and Pocket-Medes.

For Sniper I have stock Sniper Rifle (Autumn Mk.II warpaint) or the Huntsman, stock SMG and the Shahanshah for weapons, and only Wagga Wagga Wear (painted Mann Co. Orange) for cosmetics :')

For Spy I have the Diamondback, Your Eternal Reward or stock Knife (Seriously Snowed warpaint), either stock Sapper or Red Tape Recorder (I really want the Ap-Sap tho,,) and the Cloak and Dagger for weapons, and........ no cosmetics lmao. I actually put The Spirit Of Giving on him because since I've never given any gifts it shows no heart on it and I just think that's really funny, and I was half tempted to put the Ghostly Gibus that I got while playing Pyro on him just to look like One Of Those Players but I ended up not doing it lmao.

23. Funniest moment while playing TF2?

I don't remember many but I think the best one was playing Medic on 2Fort, sitting in intel with my friend who was playing Engie, and just. somehow managing to mow down like three Scouts with just the Blutsauger because they just kept running at me in a straight line and whatever damage they dealt I healed near instantly. Rip to them but I'm different.

25. Favourite cosmetic? (Any class)

Honestly I love the pocket cosmetics so much. They're so cute!! I would kill for like. Actual pocket plushies in real life. I would like one (1) Pocket Medic please. And a Pocket Pardner. And an Itsy Bitsy Spy-der. Hold them soft and gentle.

26. Favourite voice line? (Any class)

LISTEN I LOVE ALL THE VOICE LINES SO MUCH but NOTHING will compare to like. All of Engie's voice lines. And Medics!! I love both of them. Engie's Bam Pow Bap with the Gunslinger and his I'm wolverine mean you son of a bitch and Medic's GET THEM, RAUS RAUS are such wonderful repeatable statements. Though nothing will be funnier to hear in-game than SPY_PAINCRITICALDEATH03.WAV.

27. Favourite weapons? (Any class)

The Backburner is a really fun weapon to play Pyro with if you're sneaky! Getting around people do deal critical hits 100% of the time is WONDERFUL, but only in certain situations because of the +150% airblast cost :/. I actually wanna try playing with the Thermal Thruster to be able to get behind people easier in open-air maps? And I think Your Eternal Reward is a good knife for Spy if you're like me and can't switch from knife to sapper quick enough to get the Engie and then the Sentry? Plus it works well with the L'Etranger and the Cloak and Dagger (in theory! I don't actually have the gun in-game I only put this together via looking at stats). Also the bows for Sniper are really good too, not just for Medieval Mode. I actually find it easier to use than the actual rifles at times but of course that means you have to get closer to the fight, and therefore closer to death.

in between naps & sightseeing all ive done in germany is draw my boys u_u

sketchin out mercs ft my pyro loadout & merasmus!!!

[antagonistchanremade]

my main playstyle for each class:

scout: stock scattergun, pretty boy’s pocket pistol, atomizer. i’m pretty good at dodging and capping the objective, but i can’t aim for shit and i have a bad habit of overextending. was my main for a crazy long time and i still have far more hours on it than any other class, but as my skill has increased with the other classes the same can’t really be said for scout, so he’s falling behind a little.

soldier 1: rocket jumper, mantreads, market gardener. i try and fail to trolldier.

soldier 2: air strike, stock launcher, or direct hit; buff banner, battalion’s backup, or stock shotgun; disciplinary action. with the air strike, i try and fail to rain death down on the world; with the stock launcher, i do a pretty decent job with splash damage; with the direct hit, i do a pretty decent job with direct hits. i try to use the banner/backup regularly, but if i’m using the shotgun i only take it out against pyros. and i use the disciplinary action fairly effectively as a mobility tool.

pyro: stock flamethrower, flare gun, axtinguisher, though i may easily switch out one or more of them for something else depending on my mood, especially the secondary and melee. i’d honestly be best off just w+m1′ing, but the longstanding stigma against w+m1′ing combined with my self-consciousness means that i try to do a bit more comboing with the flare gun and axtinguisher. it doesn’t generally work out well for me. if i’m using the Detonator i’m mostly gonna use it for Detonator jumps rather than for actual flare stinging.

demo: iron bomber, stock sticky launcher, stock bottle. it’s a pity that demo is one of my more well-played classes these days because my inventory for demo- both in terms of cosmetics and in the actual usable stuff. i only just got the Iron Bomber (and i specifically picked it out myself, since i got it by using a war paint), and i also plan on getting the Claidheamh Mòr the same way. why these? the Iron Bomber’s supposedly easier to aim than stock once you get the hang of it (and while i haven’t gotten the hang of it yet, i can already see what people mean when they say that), and the Claidheamh Mòr is the best sword for demos who don’t really want swords, since it has no downsides when sheathed. i want a sword, but not really, i don’t wanna deal with the downsides of all the other swords, so. Claidheamh Mòr. and then the Scottish Resistance is probably the best sticky launcher, but it’s a bit of a hassle, especially for sticky jumping which i really like doing, and stock is definitely second best, and i don’t really want a shield. but while i like the sticky launcher, i kinda avoid using it for similar reasons why i tend to avoid w+m1′ing- the stigma. since i barely use it, i’m considering switching to a shield. probably the Targe since it has the most resistances and would thus keep me alive the best.

heavy: stock minigun, second banana, and either the GRU or the warrior’s spirit. stock minigun and the tomislav are generally considered the only *really* viable miniguns and i don’t have the tomislav; the second banana and sandvich are the best lunchboxes and while i have three sandviches it’s been the meta for forever and the second banana was only added at the end of 2017 so it’s more novel. the GRU is basically the meta melee for Heavy for very good reason. and finally, the Warrior’s Spirit has a reputation for being really terrible, but i noticed after watching a video about potential rebalancing that it really doesn’t sound all that bad on paper? so i try using it myself to see just how bad it really is. i mostly just... play heavy? there’s really not much variation in heavy gameplay, sadly. the heavy update better bring some new weapons that do Gunslinger-level recontextualizations to the entire class.

engie: hoo boy, i change loadouts multiple times a match if i’m on my a-game. i generally use either the widowmaker or the frontier justice; the stock pistol or the short circuit; and a mix of the eureka effect, jag, stock wrench, and gunslinger. primarily the gunslinger, though, because i’m a battle engie all the way. i set up my teleporters and dispenser in places where i think they’d be the most useful but also most safe (since i don’t wanna babysit them too much), then i just go ham with my mini-sentry and my shotgun. when i was first learning what tf2 was back in like 2009, i thought engie was the most interesting class, and was certain i’d main him once i actually got to play. and when i did actually start playing at the beginning of 2012... Scout ended up being my main because i got used to his speed and couldn’t look back. but now that i’m starting to graduate from scout, i’m finding myself playing engie more and more. especially battle engie, since it lets me strike a balance between being a support class and a fighter class. i do still wanna improve with scout, though, especially since he’s got so much of my good shit

medic: blutsauger, quick-fix, and solemn vow. blutsauger because it’s the best weapon medic has, quick-fix because it’s the best at just straight-up healing, and solemn vow because... it’s funny. the Meta(TM) for Medic is crossbow-stock medigun-ubersaw, but i avoid the Medic Meta out of principle because it’s just so stacked. the ubersaw and crossbow are just too good and overused, it’s tiring. also, the Blutsauger/Quick-Fix combo is known sometimes as the “i don’t trust my team” loadout, and i definitely don’t trust a pub team very far, and pubs are mostly how i play so far. also sometimes i like going battle medic, and the quick-fix is good for taking a short break from battle medicking to heal someone, and the blutsauger and solemn vow are good for fighting.

sniper: stock rifle or classic, cozy camper or jarate, any melee really. the stock rifle is tried and true; the classic is gimmicky and weird but fun; the cozy camper provides a fairly basic buff you don’t really need to think about; the jarate is, well, the jarate; and none of sniper’s melees are really good. i don’t really like picking off heads from all the way in the back, so i prefer to be at medium-range on the battlefield. not too close, not too far. it’s more fun that way and i tend to perform better. SOMETIMES i’ll use the huntsman and just shoot peeps with arrows.

spy: diamondback or ambassador, stock knife, stock watch, stock sapper. the spy’s stock loadout is tried and true, so the only one i replace is the revolver; the diamondback is borderline op because it rewards you for just playing the class effectively, and the ambassador can be good for training your aim. i like to put on a disguise, sneak my way around the enemy team with a cloak, then do my mayhem. which is, i guess, the entire point of spy. but you know.

also, to clarify, when i talk about using a stock item, i probably actually mean a reskin. i have the C.A.P.P.E.R. instead of the stock pistol. i have a botkiller flamethrower and sticky launcher. i have the Ap-Sap instead of the stock sapper. the two major exceptions are the stock watch and stock knife, which i have no reskins of (yet).

[astral-glass]

I did some loadout arts for my gf @cynthpop and my bud @senorita-armero ❤

[ursy153]

I just got my first unusual hat from probably the nicest person in existance, and it's an engineer hat, Unusual Effect is Green Confetti, but it's painted australium gold.

Idk how much it's worth but goddamn. Its probably worth more then my inventory was before I got it. Part of me is like "sell it and pay back the ppl who gave u mvm tickets cause ur broke" but most of me is like I love this too much to ever part with it ever and the person who gave it to me was way too nice to me and I should try and make him something as a thank you but I've no idea what.

I'm dealing with alot of shit from college projects piling up, the only savings my mother had for me in a bank account going dormant cause it hasn't been interacted with in atleast 15 years and I don't know all the account details to reactivate it, the possibility I might have been kicked out of college, my grant for living on not coming in, and my rent being due but between the hat and the pyro update has kept my spirits up. I know it's a silly thing to keep me happy and I should be focusing on more serious stuff then video games.

Dad wasn't happy bout me getting excited over the pyro update or the hat earlier after trying to talk to him about it. He doesn't really like when I talk about stuff I like but he tolerates it sometimes. Conversations usually end with either him labling everyone I know online as predators or the thing I'm interested in is stupid shite and I need to get a job and forget about "that stupid shite altogether" and I probably should cause I do love him and I know he only wants what's best for me.

I have way too many engie cosmetics. Tf2 needs more cosmetics slots as I can't even equip all the gifts items i have gotten over the years anymore to my loadout. I've got maybe 5 or six badges worth wearing now but I have to choose one. Let me put them all on my engie's shirt and walk around like a boy scout with all my badges.

Idk I just needed to have a little rant here cause I can't really talk to anyone url bout this stuff and yeah. Sorry for the long post. It should be under a cut as not to take up space.
