I’m so biased lmao

Boots n’ Bombs (my absolute beloveds) I MUST know

SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET TO THIS T_T ITS YOUR GOOBERS I HAVE TO YAP

What made you ship it?

Again, another one I don't entirely remember what made me ship it in the first place. But if I had to guess, it was most likely the "WAR!" comic from 2009. Seeing how despite the company rules, RED Demoman and BLU Soldier became friends.... honestly I love it so much. That combined with the old domination voice lines where it's revealed they call each other and gossip about their teammates.... What is there to not love about it?

What are your favourite things about the ship?

Literally everything. Their dynamic is amazing. I see their relationship moreso as them asking each other out and dating but still acting like friends more than anything. However, after the events of the "WAR!" comic, I can see Soldier taking a lot more time to warm up to Demoman again since he doesn't entirely believe him after what he heard. BLU Soldier is a lot more cautious and careful than RED Soldier (probably because BLU Soldier didn't drink the Teufort lead water....) so he'd need some time to gain that trust back. It makes for a perfect ship imo, every relationship goes through it's hardships, and fictional ones shouldn't have to be any different. Other than that, they look good together and match each others energy very well ^_^

Is there an unpopular opinion you have about the ship?

Not entirely? It's moreso how people portray Soldier in the relationship and--- again--- it's an opinion. In the comics, RED and BLU Soldier have similarities, yet are very different from one another. I feel like within the confines of Boots n' Bombs (hell, even outside of the ship), BLU Soldier's vast differences aren't explored enough. Genuinely out of all of the portrayals of Boots n' Bombs I've seen, yours is without a doubt my favourite. I love how you interpret their relationship its so sweet ^_^

OC INFO UNDER THE CUT!

We highly encourage you to take a peek to make your decision!

The Therapist

@hazardtoons

You wouldn’t expect an organisation like Team Fortress Industries to invest in something like mental health treatment for its hardened soldiers. The one giving them this generous care is a woman only known by those who work at the company as Therapist - a seemingly well-intentioned lady there to give everything from a shoulder to cry on to someone to seek advice from.

There is a catch, however. Not all the information she gathers from her clients is used for good. Underlying that comforting presence is another tool of oppression used in the company.

THE HUNTER

@scozthewoz

Image credit: @/scozthewoz

hailing from the london countrysides of the united kingdom, this insatiable butcher with the cheshire grin is a teenage expert at the art of paid homocide, despite how squirrely she may look! her presentation is a vauge riddle, hinted at with hyena-like cackles, a cruelty behind her constantly bared teeth she tends to mask as friendliness. she prides herself on her toys, each of them meticulously handmade and carefully hidden like snakes in the sand, every beartrap or snare serving nicely to hold her prey in place and maim them as it does so just in case one pesky rabbit weasles out! this viscera-lusting vermin prefers a more hands-on approach when she crawls out of the walls to play, often putting her guns to the wayside in favour of her beloved knife -- and on occasion, her teeth.

a taste of blood goes a long way for her motivation, you know.. why don't we give her a little push?

The Barman (Thomas Armstrong)

@trypo-p

Image credit: @/trypo-p

Born and raised in Stratford, Ontario, Barman is an affable gentleman who specializes in the art of mixology. Among the mercenaries, Barman is relatively tame in comparison; he gets along with everyone and is seen as an almost "parental" figure to most of the team. Whether it be telling old stories of his life back in Canada, or smacking Scout on the back of his neck for forgetting his manners, he has his ways of making the team remember that he's their elder.

Most of the man's time is spent in his makeshift bar in the team's base, or in his own room. That, of which, contains a multitude of model train sets. Sadly Barman was unable to live his dream of becoming a train conductor, but he can still lose himself in the fantasy when he's alone in his room with his models.

When he's in his bar, however, he gets to have casual conversation among his teammates. During his time working for the team he had become quite friendly with Demoman and Spy, often spending nights with them at the bar after a long battle. He'd listen to everyones worries, give them advice, then laugh the rest of the night away to lighten up the mood.

Scout's Mom has got it going on - Chapter 1 - For @trypo-p

Scout walked into the mercenaries’ common room more prepared than usual, because this was the day his mom was visiting. She’d flown all the way from Boston to stay in Teufort (although away from most of the town, and with a separate water supply) for a whole week. Scout was excited to see her again, and show her his work. Although he did worry about-

“Hello Scout!”

Oh. My. Friggin’. God.

There was Soldier, talking to his mother, on the couch, and being…well, surprisingly polite. Most mornings, Jeremy was greeted by a “WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, MAGGOT!” or a “YOU ARE LATE!!”. But today, he decided to. Well, Not Do That.

“Would you like to talk with us?”

What the hell? This was totally out of character! Was he replaced by the BLU Soldier or something? Demo had always said the BLU was “more polite”, but that was probably influenced by their (not-so) secret friendship.

Scout had to do something - out of all the mercs (other than Spy) Soldier was the one he hated the most. They somehow always ended up together, and that somehow always ended in a fistfight, and that always ended in Scout getting pretty beat up (even when he won). And so he marched over there, ready to give that Soldier a piece of his mind.

“Heya, Solly, can we talk? Somewhere else?”

“Of course, private! I will speak to you later, Christine.” 

Oh god. Of course. Soldier was on a first name basis with his ma...how could this get any worse?

*********************************

Scout led Soldier to a closet initially intended for extra clothes and supplies, but was now mainly used as storage for the dumb crap the mercs brought in. Except for Scout’s stuff, of course. That was much more important than anything else there.

“Look, dude, I dunno what’s going on with you and my mom, but I don’t like it. I've never seen you act like that to anyone. Not even Pauling. So whatever’s happening…stop it. Just - stop. Put it on pause, or whatever.”

But Scout’s request didn’t seem to have any effect, as Soldier simply stared straight at him and responded; “Well Jeremy, your mother is a very kind and intelligent woman. So I treat her with the utmost respect-”

“OH MY GOD! Look, Solly, that’s what I’m talking about. You’re acting like some politeness parasite infected ya brain and made you, like, some normal guy. Which I don’t want you doing, because - and no offense here - you are unhinged. Like, hinges rusted, fell off and got lost in the Sahara Desert unhinged. And my ma doesn’t need that - she’s already got enough chaos in her life. So just. Cut it out, ok?”

“I-”

“Shut it.”

Yeah this shit is real. I didn't ever install this, and as soon as I click on the link it shows up. It's practically spyware. Everyone with an android phone, please uninstall this. God knows what Google will do with the images you get sent: nudes could be leaked, art could be used for more AI slop, we have no fucking clue what could happen if any of the images "scanned" through this got leaked. Be careful out there.

hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".

I had to go and delete it myself this morning.

Reynold “Roy” Aiken - The Rascal

@thenumberonerascal

Image credit: jestersmassacre

Rascal is a 12 year old boy who wandered onto RED teams base years ago- and surprisingly, hasn’t run away from all of the blood and fighting yet. In fact, he really loves it! The Rascal doesn’t bring a lot to battle- a few guns and a slingshot- but he still wants to be useful and prove he belongs with the mercenaries(who he chooses to call his family- not that he’ll ever tell them that).

He uses his slingshot to throw things to his teammates and at the opponents- water balloons full of gasoline, health packs, bonk- you name it. He’s only the slightest bit slower than Scout, and has the lowest HP of the group.

He’s cocky, easy to anger, a bit too confident in his abilities- a mini Scout, if you may (who he thinks is the coolest guy ever). He’s always excited to jump into battle, distract and irritate the other team, and prove that he’s just as strong as everyone else.

Maybe if he wins, The Administrator will think about paying him for his fighting!
