Hmmm, OH, how about heavy with an s/o who’s also Russian, and can’t speak English very well?

Source: Unknown. Could be Tf2gallery?

Heavy with a Russian S/O who is not fluent in English:

- Absolutely adorable together, while he doesn’t prefer his mother land of Russia, having his S/O be from there is incredibly comforting for him. It reminds him of his mother and sisters, and is like bringing a piece of home back with him.

- On the other hand. The language barrier can get a bit annoying at times with the other mercs, as his S/O is easily overwhelmed by their questions and comments, especially if they get frustrated when trying to respond, but not knowing the words to do so.

- They constantly fire off back and forth between each other when in private, though! If one stumbles across or into Heavy’s little “library” area, (a repurposed side room meant for housing tapes that have since been burned, the shelves are lined with books that he’s collected over the years), they’ll often find Heavy and his S/O deep in philosophical conversation with each other, far swifter in Russian than in English.

- Medic, Heavy, and Spy all do their best to help teach them English, to varying degrees of success. Spy is incredibly helpful, but isn’t around enough to make a huge difference. On the other hand, Medic isn’t quite as helpful, but is a better teacher and is more than enthusiastic to help where he can. He’s often too caught up in his experiments to be there as often as Heavy, though; although his S/O is perfectly fine with being in the med bay, so long as things don’t get too hectic.

- Heavy and his S/O are virtually inseparable, though. Heavy is either glued to their side, or they’re glued to his at all times. If they’re separated on their own terms, it’s for a very good reason. If not, and you’re the reason behind it, then you’d better run. They’ll find their way back to each other no matter what cost.

Dear goodness I hope I don’t come across as any of these. Same here that I won’t cancel your headcanons but I 100% agree.

For Sniper, I like to see it as he’s not the best with words, but he’s patient and while he may come across as nervous in a situation it’s out of surprise or out of being flustered. I don’t think he’s like that normally, since you can definitely see that he isn’t through his voice lines ingame.

He’s a professional after all!

Such in a shitty fucking mood today. Tell me about your LEAST favorite thing the TF2 fandom does. The worst widely accepted headcanon. Hatred rage violence. I'll probably bite someone.

I resonate so hard with what you just posted about feeling called out with the 10th class OC thing.

Your take comforts me because I worry about this kind of thing a lot

And I work really hard

And to feel like your best isnt good enough

Or you dont get to have fun with something that YOU create

Is so draining

So yeah, thanks for speaking about it

I hope you dont give up on your OCs :)

And I hope you don’t either, anon! I’ve had a lot of experience making mary sue ocs, self inserts and the like and at any rate, I round them out because I need it to stay invested, and for others to. But that’s for me, and I do my best not to pull others down because of that, because everyone has their own things they like to do! I struggle with it sometimes, because I have anxiety over my characters being good. I make comfort characters for the exact purpose of giving them as many tropes as I want, as many edgy facets and powers as I want so as not to be tempted to give them to my other characters, but that doesn’t mean that they’re any less valid nor lovable.

And you know what?

I’m a fanfiction writer! I make content for a fandom that’s based on tropes! If people are gonna harass others for that, then there’s a big ol’ block button calling their name, alright? So even though I personally try to round out my characters for my own reasons, if you don’t want to, then you shouldn’t. Because everyone’s characters, no matter how developed, no matter how “edgy”, are VALID. 

Keep making your OCs, and make them however you want. If someone tries to tell you they aren’t valid? Let them cry and sob over it. You are in control of yourself, and they can’t do anything about it.

Your best is good enough.

You can focus on making yourself happy first,

You get to have fun with your own characters,

You can work hard and come out with a result that you cherish, no matter what others tell you.

Never, ever let anyone drain you of that. Your characters are perfect how you like them. 

I hope this doesn’t come across as too rant-y! I just feel your struggle, it’s a really hard mindset to break and so seeing it being reinforced hurt a little bit. But the amount of positivity coming from people because of this is absolutely incredible and it’s why I love this community so much!

Don’t let people like that get you down, alright? I agree, it’s draining, and it’s so very hard to ignore the negativity, but remember that 10 good thoughts can outweigh 1 bad thought, so keep surrounding yourself with people and characters and such that make you happy and content. Because in the end, that’s what’s most important.

We’re here because we want to have fun. We want to share ideas, we want to share our love for a work of fiction.

Be it team fortress, or anything else.

Happy trans day of visibility!!! Hell yeah baby!

Have you had the sudden urge to drink blood lately, my liege?

Did my broken tooth get sharper or something??

SHRIEKS OVER HOW GREAT THE RED THE BLU AND THE UGLY IS????

The animation is superb. I cannot WAIT to use some of these for headcanon posts ya’ll- my lil animation loving heart melted at all of it- every single frame is just. amazing.

Feel free to send asks relating to the characters i make gifs of, or others, either way I love seeing new ones even though I might not ever get around to em- its really a matter of time because it just relies on motivation and what I’m inspired by mostly.

I’ve shipped little otter to you for Heavy… He’s little lion’s colleague, and is here to help! Whenever Heavy is frustrated, little otter is very holdable and will want to help calm him down.

Perhaps I should sew up plushies for everyone… I think they all deserve a loving companion. :]

Heavy holds the little otter in his hands, and he smiles, pleased. “Oh, he is good friend...thank you, I will keep him next to Sasha!” He greatly appreciates the gift and the craftsmanship.

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween Everybody!!! This is from the new Scream Fortress comic. You can read it at: teamfortress.com

Hey heads up

Y’know how I said I’d be messing with my theme and then didn’t do anything? Well I’m doing that now, expect eye burning colors and layouts changing and breaking things for the next little while. Sorry guys! I’ll try to be quick.
