No one asked but my most important flashfire hc is that pyro is very funny and silly and scout is ride or die for all their bits, if nobody got pyro, scout's got pyro. Scout will absolutely egg them on and they are each other's silly besties
I've been trying for hours to figure out how to use particle systems to make a medigun beam in Blender. I think I was actually getting pretty close when... this happened... whatever the hell it is.
I don't know whether it looks more like blood/guts or some kind of very huge weird fruit. But I knew as soon as I saw it that I had to let Ludwig play in it like some deranged cat kneading a squelching blanket of undefined gore.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that Pyro doesn't naturally see in "Pyrovision," but that it's a side effect of their mask/the optics inside it. I feel like they still know what they're doing, though. The rest of the mercs very much know the reality of their job, although some of them see it in a slightly different perspective.
Sniper sees his job as assassinating those who deserve it — only killing people who are "rotten" (as described by his adoptive mother.)
He says himself in the Meet The Sniper short that he isn't a "crazed gunman." He doesn't kill for the sake of killing, he only kills who he thinks should be killed. He's an assassin, it's an occupation. He does it for his job, and states that as a professional, he has standards.
Heavy sees his job as getting rid of "evil men." When discussing taking back his job, he emphasizes that specifically. He isn't just killing anyone, he's killing those who are deemed the bad guys.
We also know he does all he can to protect his family, and his family knows this just as well. He only attacks when it is necessary for him and his family's safety, and/or will benefit them in some capacity. (He's gone through a lot and I feel like we as a fandom don't discuss that enough. I did an analysis over Heavy's past one time in a Discord server and I might post it here if anyone is interested.)
In the Meet The Pyro video, we see how they allegedly view the world. A fairytale-like place full of rainbows, bubbles, sparkles, and almost cherub-esque versions of the enemy mercs.
While it is very easy to just assume this is how they view everything naturally, I don't think it's ever been 100% confirmed that this is the case.
The biggest thing for me is the Pyrovision Goggles in-game. The fact that they can be worn by any class, and it effects all of the mercs the same way, makes me believe that it truly is a result of the optical mask/the lenses within them that makes Pyro see what they do. It would've been so easy to make this cosmetic only available to Pyro, but it isn't.
The fact the goggles includes the "optical mask" text in the center, much like Pyro's mask itself, just pushes the idea that Pyroland is all an optical illusion. Obviously it was never real in the first place, but I don't think it's how Pyro sees everything naturally.
Tying back to the beginning of this post, I believe Pyro knows what they're doing. They know that they're spreading fire and not bubbles and rainbows. But perhaps they keep the mask on for the sake of their own psyche, to make it easier for them to do their job. Much like how Heavy and Sniper justify their jobs by seeing it as killing "evil men," or killing those who are "rotten," maybe Pyro uses their mask and goggles to tune out the dark truth of what they do. It could be yet another reason as to why Pyro never removes their mask.

everyone but miles knew about the nature of the facility: don’t interfere with canon events, don’t mess with the timeline, contain anomalies. gwen and peter b convinced miguel to give miles a chance to come around before containing (and probably killing) him like he clearly wanted to, but bc of hobie’s history with authority and his current feelings on miguel, he knew it wouldn’t work. so, he tried to convince miles to back out, to run away, to not interact with him. bc there’s NO way hobie heard of a spider-man who’s breaking the universe and wasn’t going to meet him somehow.
hobie saw this boy and immediately went “oh fuck i gotta get him out of here” but every attempt was thwarted by miles’ eagerness to be a part of something
miles decided to pursue science instead of art for the sole purpose of getting back to his friends, his loved ones, the only people he could be himself with. he was willing to sacrifice his future just to see them again. and then he finds out peter b and gwen, two of the people he fought life and death with, could have seen him any time and just didn’t.
and then there’s hobie. hobie meets him once, probably hearing a lot about him from gwen but still only once, for less than a day. and instantly, he’s doing more for miles than peter or gwen were even thinking of doing. hobie is making him a backup plan, teaching him to be stronger, slowly implanting doubt and ideas, calling gwen out on her lies without being direct because he knows miles would never believe him if he said it. he’s working in the open shadows to help miles before they’re even really friends
when everything goes to shit, hobie gives gwen a second chance. he only made one extra watch, after all, as far as we know. he lets gwen choose to rebel, just like he didn’t force miles but encouraged him, and he joins the fight to help get miles to safety.
hobie is the best fucking character in this movie don’t chat to me
I hate how oddly sexualized breasts are, and how oddly sexualized bedrooms are, and I hate how anything not inherently sexual gets sexualized, it was hot outside and me and my boyfriend were watching his friend repair his truck at my house and I had a shirt off and only my binder on since yk it was hot out, and the other guys also had their shirts off and it was considered fine, but when me and my boyfriend went to go relax in the ac in my room I changed from my binder to a sports bra cause my ribs hurt and kept a shirt off cause I was still sweating a lot and really hot, and my mom came in complaining about how I need to wear a shirt and how it's weird to wear only a bra in a bedroom with your significant other even though she knows I'm ace and she thinks it's weird since he isn't ace and I have breasts and bedrooms are sexualized, why is it okay to not have a shirt as one assigned gender and not the other, why are certain environments more sexualized than others, it makes no sense especially since we weren't doing anything sexual, neither me nor him made it weird, but my mom was making a huge deal out of having tits in a bedroom
maybe it's cause I'm autistic or maybe cause I'm asexual but I think the oversexualization of literally everything is weird
During an intense art block I took a stab at a couple of canon characters from crk!
So like an hour ago I just lear🪨︵︵ned that— what the fuck was that. Someone just skipped a rock across my post did you see that
