thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'
thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'
thinking about how the idea of aromanticism isn't nearly as widespread as it is on Tumblr/various other corners of the internet
thinking about how most people would probably assume the use of Aromantic as a descriptor would imply a lack of any kind of love or romance or close interpersonal relationships in their music which is INHERENTLY NOT TRUE
thinking about Lovejoy choosing Aromantic specifically, confident enough in understanding the actual concept/culture of aromanticism to describe their entire band
thinking about the potential for there to be someone(s) in Lovejoy who is either on the Aromantic spectrum or has considered it as a possibility and has researched it to understand it (and maybe themselves) better
thinking about hard about Lovejoys songs and realising that despite a few having vaguely romantic or implied romantic connotations, you could absolutely do an aro-spec reading of their whole discography
thinking about Lovejoy becoming part of Aro Culture in my heart
thinking about being aro-spec myself, and how id consider the term 'lovejoy' to still very much be my vibe despite that.
thinking about self described Aromantic British Noises, Lovejoy.
thinking about Lovejoy.

rating tf2 ships instead of doing English because writers block part 1: SCOUT!!
1. Scout/Pyro (Flashfire) - 10/10
honestly? love this ship. mwah mwah. I think these two would have a unique build up to a relationship. Scout being intimidated at first by Pyro (then realizing Pyro is actually pretty chill), and Pyro genuinely wanting to befriend Scout because he’s funny and pretty.
I see Pyro as being able to keep up with Scout’s hyperactive nature, but also being able to coax out a calmer side. Scout has trouble understanding his own emotions and expressing them (being very emotional and fearful of what others may think of him for that) and pyro is very patient and loving. They’re both chaotic, loving, expressive, and have a need to be understood and not disregarded by assumptions.
I see pyro as being very open to physical touch, but won’t actively initiate it. I think pyro would prefer quality time and acts of service. their main love language being gift giving and quality time. scout on the other hand I could see preferring quality time and physical touch (but having to be the one to initiate it), but would outwardly express words of affirmation and gifts.
Whenever I think of these two I think of their relationship being very soft. Yeah they’re chaotic and dangerous, but I can see them being very soft with one another. Scout talks a lot and Pyro listens. Pyro talks a lot and Scout listens. I think their relationship wouldn’t be established for a good while, until Scout one day just asks if they’re dating or not while they’re cuddling and watching some action movie.
I think they’d have stupid nicknames. Well on scout’s part, I don’t think pyro would make nicknames. Scout would still call them mumbles, chucklehead, and other stupid stuff, but he’d say it in a very affectionate way.
Pyro would definitely without thinking link their pinkies together when they’re near one another. It flusters Scout every single time, without fail. Scout uses flirts and pick up lines and Pyro is unaffected by them(though finds it hilarious when Scout trips over his words). If anything, they find scout’s attempts funny but prefer when he’s just being real and down to earth, rather than trying to “puff” himself up, and when he seeks out Pyro for comfort and touch. Whether it just be to hold hands or lean on.
2. Scout/Soldier (All American Offense/Batting Helmet) - 7/10
I’m kinda unsure how I feel about this ship!! I give it a high rating because i think it could be unique and these two would definitely be fun together. I’m not sure if I could ever see them being in an established romantic relationship, but I could see them being in a close relationship which isn’t exactly anything labeled.
Unlike flashfire I can see their relationship being very hyper rather than soft. They’re both reckless and loud which definitely leads to both of them making bad decisions which Spy or Demo have to get them out of. They’d definitely bond and strength their relationship over their love of adrenaline. Both, Soldier and Scout are so SO loving, and I definitely think they’d put their all into a relationship and both constantly try to impress the other. Especially on the battlefield, I can see them yelling for the other and going ‘did you see that?!’ Or ‘that was for you!!’ kinda thing. You kill one of them? Within seconds you’re killed by the other.
I do think their relationship would be a bit rocky at times due to miscommunication on both sides. Soldier and Scout tend to run into things without thinking, making plans on the go, and misinterpreting things. If they were to establish any sort of partnership they’d have to work on communicating. Both of them would have to work on not only their communication skills but also their emotional responses to things. Both of them are very prone to emotional outbursts/irritation which they’d have to work on.
However! It’s evident both mercs are so loving and aware of others emotions. I think in a relationship, Scout would stop making joking insults which Solly wouldn’t understand, and would ask Solly more questions about himself rather than his stories. Of course!! Scout and Soldier would 100% bond over stories of crushing people’s skulls, and be so hyped to hear about the other’s experiences. However the curiosity towards him as a person and his interests other than war I think would startle and slightly scare Soldier at first honestly.
Overall I think they’re relationship would be very fluid and interesting to work with. They’re love language would be far from conventional: wrestling/physical fighting(not out of anger), and not outwardly ‘romantic’ tendencies. I don’t think they’d be the type to be touchy or have flowery words. On their own I think both of them could be physical and loud with their affection but together I think it would be more of a casual thing. Maybe an affectionate pet name thrown in an offhand sentence or remark, or a gentle guidance towards a different decision. I can’t see them full on cuddling, but rather being near one another and leaning on the other. At most maybe Scout putting his head in Solly’s lap or running his hand through Solly’s buzz cut.
I do think that as hyper as they’d be, they would have very sweet moments on ceasefire days. Whether it be resting/sleeping in, cooking, or just talking and playing cards. I think with simple daily activities the more soft “intimate” side would be drawn forward. I don’t think they’d ever refer to their relationship as romantic, but I don’t think they’d stop someone from assuming they’re dating, y’know?
3. Scout/Demoman (Hop Scotch) - 10/10
Similar to All American Offense, I don’t think these two would put a label on their relationship. I think it would more be like they’re aware of how loving the other is and how strong their bond is as a friendship, and just acknowledge they love each other; whether it be fully platonic or not.
Demo with his desire for touch and Scout with flippant touch adversity and desire, I think they would definitely be one of the more sweeter duo and outwardly affectionate. They’d be more willing to show physical affection in front of others, like hugging, kissing, cuddling, those kinda things.
Scout would be so excited to learn about Demo’s culture and it would be oh so sweet. Demo is patient and more than happy to share his Scottish culture with any s/o he has. He shares cultural dishes while Scout shares dishes his ma used to make. For both Scout and Demo family means a lot, which is something I think would definitely strengthen their bond, along with both of them being openly emotional and willing to share their issues with one another (of course that would take time).
Demo willingly hearing out Scout without making him feel stupid and Scout listening to Demo’s turmoil and validating his feelings. I definitely think their relationship would work since I imagine Demo actively reminding Scout that he sees him as an equal and doesn’t look down on him at all. Which helps since Scout is very self conscious. In return, Demo is equally self conscious and struggles with self image, which Scout counteracts by constant verbal affection and being able to talk Demo through it. I think they’re relationship would lean very heavily into verbal and physical affection. Demo finds it funny whenever Scout hypes him up. Scout in term gets really embarrassed when Demo says anything sweet to him, but also determined to show off.
I see Demo as being open to physical contact and craving it, but always makes it obvious and asks if he can touch Scout before doing so, something Scout appreciates immensely. That being said, I do think that with Demo, Scout would be very more physically affectionate compared to some of the other ships. I just see them being a very go with the flow relationship which leaves Scout feeling more than comfortable with touch when it comes to Demo. Anyway they’re really cute and sweet and both deserve love and happiness and I wanna see more of them.
4. Scout/Medic (Blunt Trauma/Quick Fix) - 10/10
Hands down, I adore this duo. They’re absolutely adorable and love mediscout shippers. I went over their duo a little bit in a few posts ago, but I love the idea of both of them being equally fascinated by the other.
Scout always being the first to go see Doc and volunteering for experiments. Medic being enthralled by how healthy Scout is and finding him beautiful, both inside and out. I think this duo has a lot of potential, especially with metaphors and love that goes deeper than what is associated with the term. Their relationship could be very poetic. I do think these two would start off with a very awkward relationship, and this sense of awkwardness never really leaves it which adds to their charm as a duo.
I think it would start with Scout developing a bit of a puppy crush, finding Medic handsome and amazing in terms of skill. Scout being outwardly very awkward and loving (constantly following medic to infodump and talk about anything and everything just to get a convo going) and getting flustered by Medic who could just be standing there. Medic in turn I think would pick up on the little crush scout has and find it endearing but not think much of it. More than willing to talk to Scout about his ideas and thoughts, but never thinking he’d regard Scout in a romantic manner. I don’t think Medic would realize he had feelings for Scout until someone pointed it out. Engie says to him how he gets a fond look in his eyes and his entire demeanor just softens. Which gets Medic thinking and he just goes ‘oh shit’. Once the realization is there, I think Doc would become equally as or even more awkward and nervous than Scout. He’d still ask scout for help with certain things or lion for him to make conversation, but he’d fumble with his words more and be more mindful/careful of how he handles the other in surgery.
Anyway they’d probably establish their relationship through the help of others, which leaves Scout asking bluntly and awkwardly if they could establish something and Medic agreeing. From then on it’d be a bit more smooth sailing. One of the only issues I could see them running into a lot of times could be fear for the other. Medic fearing Scout getting so hurt that even he couldn’t heal him, or Scout somehow hating or failing out of love. Scout on the other hand would fear Medic dying rather than getting hurt and the idea of doc ever finding him annoying rather than endearing.
Both of them having issues with touch, some days loving it and other days hating it, i think physical aspects of a relationship like any sort of touch would be very special and a huge sign of trust. Whether it be Medic studying Scout’s heart or Scout gently rubbing under Medic’s eyes.
They would have cute nicknames for one another and I think their relationship would be very sweet and poetic.
Overall I love their dynamic and want more soft stuff of them. (Plus the idea of the man who outsmarted the devil being with god’s gift is SO hilarious to me.)
5. Scout/Sniper (Speeding Bullet) - 7.5/10
Honestly? I think they’re cute but similar to earlier ships mentioned I don’t think these two would ever put a label on their relationship. It’s not my favorite but I’m not against it, the art of them is adorable.
I’ve mentioned before how I believe their friendship is finding freedom and normalcy in the other which is something that would stay in any relationship they have. I don’t think they’d change anything about the way they interact with one another even if they were officially dating. It would still be very laid back and loose in a way.
I don’t know if they’d do very romantic things, maybe a few chaste kisses and laying on the other as a weighted blanket, but otherwise i can’t see them having a very touchy relationship. I think in terms of romance their bond would be: feeling so much love and fondness for another person and being okay with it and not wanting to change the relationship beyond what it is.
They find freedom in the other and just kinda go with it, y’know? I can see them more being a QPR than a standard romantic relationship.
For the last few:
Scout/Engie and Scout/Heavy
Personally I can’t see either relationship being romantic or anything other than platonic. I think scout sees heavy as an older brother and Heavy views scout as a younger brother, and it being unable to go beyond that.
On the other hand for engie, I just personally can’t see engie with many people. I’ve always regarded engie as aroace, which while he could have a relationship, I can’t see him actively seeking or desiring one. Plus I’ve mentioned before how I think engie and scout would have a rather rocky-unsure relationship which would need heavy communication.
Overall!! Scout is so loving and deserves love!!
I’ll do the next merc later!!!
c!tommy and scout would be friends I think
i’m so tempted to make a short series of writings on some platonic gen z teenager (tav/reader) playing bg3 getting stuck inside the game and just producing to bullshit their way through it with just a sliver of sanity
my personal opinions about MK1 men
Smoke is not a sweet little baby puppy boy, and personally I don’t think he’d like to be called a “good boy” I genuinely think he’d look at you like ‘what..😐’
Johnny is not this hardcore dominant man who’d call you a slut while having sex, yes, he may be this cocky guy, but he’s also a grown ass man that makes goofy movie references during poor timing. I just genuinely cannot see him calling is s/o anything degrading.
I know I make jokes about Bi-Han saying shit like “oh I could fix him!” But being completely honest that man is not fixable. He sees no genuine point to romantic relationships. He might get married and have a child but for the sole purpose to carry on his legacy. (Wouldn’t be surprised if that child followed in his footsteps and let him die like he did his father.)
and please, PLEASE the infantilizing grown ass men just because they’re genuinely good people needs to stop 😭 I’m sorry y’all.
Like I personally love Smoke and how much of a good person he is but please he’s like 29 I’m pretty sure, he’s not some soft uwu baby. 💀

HE DOES DESERVE TO GET ANGRY SO TRUE SO REAL
alright brother. any thoughts on spydad? (i hate it with my whole heart)
I like the idea of spy and scout having a unique/complicated relationship as a result of being related. I really do. But like, spydad in a “spy getting in the way of scout’s romantic relationships/being weirdly overprotective/etc” way has never been done in a way that doesn’t seem like a complete annihilation of Spy’s personality.
He would laugh at someone for stooping to the level of dating Scout of all people rather than threaten them for stepping near him. He cares for scout but he does also combat that with seven different layers of hating Scouts guts- half over-dramatic and half very genuine because scout is annoying.
also, I’ve mentioned it before, but any conversation that spy and scout have where spy finally admits the truth needs to end with scout getting to beat the shit out of him. Sorry. I want them to come to some form of resolution as much as most people but first things first I want to see them yell at each other and resolve nothing. And I want spy to try and save his ego and fail to apologize and I want to see scout just get mad at him. I think he deserves this!
me minding my own business peacefully:
my brain: hey remember those essays you wrote and submitted for writing courses in middle and early high school about how schools are designed to strip children of their creativity and desires, actively lying saying they work to help children explore their passions while punishing them for not being able to conform and how exhausting it is and how it plays a major factor in why the upcoming generations are so demotivated towards life

Ladies, Sirs, whatever you may perfer,

“he was cold, he was calculating, he never told me he loved me, he never even told me he liked me.”
And in this moment, everything about tony clicks into place. Because he is not cold, he is on fire. He wears his heart on his sleeve along with his intentions, he lets people in on his secrets before he lets himself in on them.
He tells people he loves them but it’s not in words, it’s not in something so empty, it’s in creating a world that they can live in. Its building them a suit of armour. He likes people, he loves them, he wants them safe and so he makes their home safe, as much as he's able to.
He is so desperate to be anything but his father that he becomes flamboyantly open, about everything. About his address. about his identity. About his affection, about his pride, about his uncertainty, about his self, about his fear. always about his fear. he wears it on his sleeve and in his chest and in his eyes and in his hands.
His father was cold and calculating. Tony is a burning fire and irrational and unpredictable to the point of being unrecruitable to the avengers initiative.
His father was cold, and calculating, and popular, and unaffectionate. Tony is not his father.
what if she could become a companion. what if. family.
random post about some of my version of the BLU mercs!!
I haven’t drawn all of them yet so while I find motivation to do that, take these!!!
PART 1
i love freedom fries having a serious dynamic of slow burn and building a relationship, but i also really adore them having the dynamic of Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit because they are so so silly and i love both duos
PART TWO!!!
OKAY WHERE DID WE LEAVE OFF
OKAY RIGHT
- HEAVY AND SCOUT ARE SO BROTHER CODED
- scout used to having older siblings like immediately clings to heavy for any form of normalcy when they all start out. and Heavy, used to being the older brother and a protector or sorts, absolutely takes the role on without much thought
- there is so much to say about their dynamic but I cannot find the words to describe it they are so so special
- scout definitely perches on heavy’s shoulders just whenever, whether it be for a split second in battle to tell him about something up ahead or to use him as a springboard; or just when they’re having calm days at the base and he wants to talk to someone
- immovable object vs unstoppable force type dynamic. scout is quick, fast on his feet and is the type to think while acting, so he sees no problem with charging headfirst into danger and making up a plan while adapting to his surroundings. For as well as this works, it doesn’t always work well when needing to plan as a team. So heavy is usually the one who is able to chill scout out, usually by blocking him from running or just grabbing him and then suggesting he hear out the others first
- scout has trouble with reading and that much is obvious, and it’s mostly accepted among the fandom he can get a little embarrassed by it. heavy 100% understands the frustration of words not making sense, seeing as English is not his first language and he isn’t as proficient in it as he is in Russian—so he goes out of his way to be patient with scout and makes sure he doesn’t feel undermined by his attempts.
- I think heavy being into literature and scout being dyslexic has a lot of potential for their bond. heavy being very cool headed for the most part out of battle while scout is very hyperactive in and out of battle also has a lot of untapped potential!!
- Heavy kinda acts as a rock for scout. He’s patient and willing to explain and talk things through without making Scout feel like he’s being belittled or something of that nature. I think that heavy keeping a cool head is what kinda helps scout level out his temper, since he starts to mimic the behavior of others he’s with (possibly a thing picked up from spy shh).
- that being said, on the battlefield they absolutely are hectic together. scout thrives off the emotions of others and seeing heavy thrilled and pumped over bloodlust and fighting reflects onto him. I think scout always ends up circling back to heavy to provide support if he isn’t the one getting the intel.
- they workout together. heavy goes on jogs with scout just because scout doesn’t like doing it alone and scout will do weight lifting with heavy in return and ramble about Tom jones and try to get heavy to translate the songs into Russian.
- and!! Of course!! Never forget that Heavy thinks scout is funny!! A lot of the mercs do actually!!
- anyway they’re bros :)
- Demo and Scout are such a fun duo and I want more art of them being silly
- I think with scout being very passionate and openly emotional with his manner of expression is something he can get very embarrassed about if others react negatively to it; which is why he likes talking with Demo since Tavish is almost as equally expressive and passionate in his outward appearance.
- they both tend to exaggerate their words and stories which is why I totally see them as regarding the other as one of the more “fun” mercs, because they can keep up with one another.
- demo slurs his words and so does scout and they both talk fast, so there’s no need to worry about slowing down!!
- on a more intimate perspective; I can very much see scout confiding in demo a lot since demo would be the type of person to take him more seriously than others. demo knowing what it’s like to not be believed and brushed off, i think he’d make sure scout knows that he is always listening 100% and will believe what he tells him(even if it’s really outlandish).
- also, scout likes drinking with demo. I dunno what to tell ya. he just does. demo is loud and emotional and scout loves that, because he too is loud and emotional. and demo won’t treat him like he’s stupid.
- demo is totally the type of person to open a bottle, see scout staring and then offer a sip. scout almost always hates what demo is drinking and will get his own alcohol (usually some type of whiskey mixed with soda) but he will always try whatever demo has, even if he knows he hates it.
- I can see their type of affection for one another as being insults and just listening.
- Scout is very touchy and will lean or hang onto demo, and demo being touch-starved and even more touchy will welcome this with open arms.
- OKAY SO CONTROVERSIAL OPINION?? I see engie and scout dynamic as being very mixed.
- of course they care about one another; but I see this dynamic as being both very loving but also having a lot of miscommunication.
- like, yes I could see scout seeking out a father figure in engie, as I both love and hate this idea. however I do regard scout as the type of character to not want a father figure.
- I see scout as seeking validation from others, especially those in higher positions or those he looks up to—even more so if they are masculine due to the lack of a father figure in his life. But I do also think he would be the type of person to realize if he was subconsciously regarding someone as a father figure and immediately attempt to distance himself from that person out of fear of being hurt and just plain discomfort.
- so while I love the dynamic of engie being somewhat of a dad figure, I do think if that dynamic were to happen it would take a lot of time and communication.
- that also brings up the fact that part of me wonders on whether or not engie would really take scout seriously. now, I love engie, I do, but he is very much two-faced in the sense that he puts up a front. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t as sweet as he can come across, because I do believe he very much cares for others, but I am just unsure on if he would view scout the way scout needs and wants to be viewed.
- I can see him very much regarding scout similarly as he regards pyro. By that I mean more as having the mentality of a child. Now, I one hundred percent support him encouraging the “childish” interests of Pyro and Scout, but there is a difference between understanding that and believing something else entirely.
- Engie knows that both Scout and Pyro are adults, and obviously he can and will treat them as such. I do believe that he can understand them in a way that others may not, and provide a familial like comfort for them. (Scout’s inner child desperately needing comfort and Pyro probably being in a similar boat.)
- but I don’t think scout would appreciate that “comfort” all the time. he absolutely craves attention and validation and comfort, but he doesn’t want to be seen as a child for wanting those things. I can see him both clinging to engie and also pushing him away rather quickly.
- he wants that comfort but he wants to be seen as an equal too, which is where I believe miscommunication could fall in on both sides. I’m not sure how well I’ve explained this idea, but yeah!!
- I think they’re good friends but their relationship needs a lot of work before scout really trusts and relies on engie without it feeling very surface leveled.
- ANNNNND NOOOOOWWWW spy.
- oof ah okay, uhm. I struggle a lot when it comes to spy and scouts dynamic, both because I love spy but I also despise him. as a person with daddy issues i tend to flip flop with their dynamic.
- i want to say scout and spy have a good one, and for a good portion of the comic and videos and stuff they do!! but i do wish more of the trauma scout suffers from an absent parent was explored.
- I so so so support scout and spy making up and rebuilding a bond, but i also think scout deserves the right to be angry and unforgiving. I may be bias since there is the very likely chance that spy left due to work and safety of his family (but then how come he can connect his lover safely but not his kid?).
- scout i 100% believe was very lonely growing up despite the fact he has seven older brothers and a doting mother. he may have felt very isolated being the youngest, and still being in a household full of kids, he probably didn’t get as much solo attention as he needed growing up. he acts out in search of attention and validation, which comes across as very annoying and rather childish to others at times.
- I know that spy very much cares for scout and looks out for his well-being, but i think it’s also valid to point out that he can be rather cruel to him as well.
- not to say that scout is any better when it comes to politeness, but scout genuinely seems to actually look up to spy. I find it unfair to say that scout hates spy or spy hates scout, because it isn’t true.
- I think spy may act harshly towards scout out of fear of getting too close. He doesn’t want scout to be hurt. He doesn’t want scout to be disappointed in him. He probably hates the way they share similar habits or have the same eyes, because he doesn’t want scout to be like him. And he doesn’t want the reminder of the kid he wasn’t there for. And scout is very much the same way in acting harsh out of fear. They parallel one another.
- Scout knows spy is his father, he just doesn’t want to accept it, and I believe it’s out of fear. He doesn’t want to accept that truth because it will bring to light something he doesn’t want to confront. He doesn’t want to break what respect and care he has for spy, and he doesn’t want to push him away. But also the fact that spy doesn’t bring it up, may leave scout believing spy would be disappointed or even hate him for being his son if the matter came to light.
- basically, both of them care for one another but are very much terrified of that care.
- but I also think scout deserves to get angry without his feelings being diminished. he deserves to punch spy in the face and then get a nice hug.
EXTRA
- scout and miss Pauling are dork gossip besties, that is my favorite interpretation of them.
- scout and the other scout would just vibe. similar households but also major differences. both are goofy, love their teams, and need therapy.
- i love the interpretations of biromantic asexual scout and aroace scout. I think either way he deserves love whether it be romantic or platonic, but always always deserves to love himself.
- very much an asexual scout supporter!!! I just get those vibes from him!! like feeling like he has to exaggerate his desire for a relationship and stuff because that’s what’s expected from guys his age, right? CUE SELF DISCOVERY AND SELF WORTH!!
LOVING your scout thoughts. Tell me more im sitting and listening and kicking my legs back and forth and giggling like I'm on the phone
BRO SHDHSGSHfaHWGSGS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH
Okay okAY I have like so many headcanons for Jeremy Scout and like my own interpretation of the other scout I couLD GO ON FOR DAYS
Anyway!!! Dynamics!! ‘M gonna talk about that and just,,, stuff about scout I like and headcanon,,,
- scout is a lot smarter than people give him credit for and I will fist fight anyone about that. he is smart intelligence wise and emotional wise.
- I see a lot of scout having ADHD; which I believe 100%, but I do believe he is also autistic. I don’t see a lot of people bringing up that idea, but as a person with autism, he just gives off the vibe.
- also scout slurs his words together because he talks too fast. everything he does is fast. so sometimes he needs to be reminded to slow down a little.
- I love love love the idea of scout and pyro being bffs, and not like the same way scout is bffs with sniper. I mean like in the sense they kinda get each other without really getting each other. They’re both underestimated and perceived as less than their worth (both being babied and seen as dumber than they are at times)
- they are both childish but not children! they can color together and make comics together and scout will collect rare plushies to trade with pyro because they cAN HAVE INTERESTS THAT ARE DEEMED CHILDISH WITHOUT BEING CHILDREN
- and I don’t care what anyone says!! pyro and scout hold hands and scout does not mind because it helps pyro keep themself grounded!!!
- pyro and scout will go to one another if the other can’t sleep and they’ll just watch crappy movies and giggle and half the time they don’t even talk they just enjoy each others presence
- scout and sniper are the friends that one talks and one listens. they are best friends in the sense I think scout treats sniper like how he treats his brothers
- scout will just gangle himself around this jungle gym of a man because it is fun and there is a primal urge to climb anything tall. sniper is desensitized to it and will just let scout do whatever.
- like sniper is the friend that scout feels comfortable enough to let out all his stims and stuff around. he could just doodle on sniper, fiddle with his fingers, yank his hair, touch his face, bite his hand, and sniper will just allow it because he knows scout doesn’t even really think about doing it, it just happens. he won’t tell scout to lower his voice or slow down, he just lets him go wild, y’know?
- scout and soldier are two of my most favorite characters and they are both so so loving and I need more people to realize this!!!!!!
- I saw this headcanon (I forget by who) that scout got his dog tags from soldier and it is like my favorite things.
- scout and soldier, I don’t see their relationship as brotherly but more like closer than friends, they have a kinship that can’t be explained by words. like they’re good friends where it’s almost brotherly almost mentor-y, but it’s not.
- I think scout looks up to Soldier while also thinking he’s an utter buffoon. Like he thinks Solly is so cool and so amazing but he’d never say that, cause Solly is insane and oblivious to a degree. Despite this, both Solly and scout are so emotional in their own ways and I think that’s something they have in common. They’re both intelligent but not in ways that is conventional.
- also of course they both beat each other up but I think it’s more of like just a thing they do. Solly going after scout i could see as a form of “cuteness aggression”, in the sense that he cares about this silly guy so much he doesn’t know how to handle it.
- I think Soldier just picks up scout in a fireman carry just because he can and then scout tries and fails and Soldier just keeps encouraging him
- I don’t care what anyone says; Soldier is scout’s number one supporter even if he sounds aggressive in his positivity
- “KEEP IT UP MAGGOT!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!! LETS GO TWINKLE TOES!! ONE TWO ONE TWO!!”
- I could go on about these two for days they are such goobers
- MEDIC AND SCOUT IS JUST A SILLY DYNAMIC AND I LOVE IT
- they’re both silly guys and both have weird fascinations with pain. the guy who wants to explore it in a sense of science and the guy who doesn’t think twice about it before charging headfirst into it. they’re besties.
- “medic finds scout annoying” “scout finds medic scary” NO!!! THEY’RE BESTIES. medic adores scout since he’s the one constantly volunteering to be first for the experiments!! heavy is the first volunteer? NO ITS SCOUT!! Scout volunteers for all the experiments!! Helpful and just for fun ones!! and he’s in perfect shape and age, so why wouldn’t medic deem him as the perfect test subject???
- both medic and scout have a flare for dramatics and absolutely adore rambling. you cannot tell me they wouldn’t talk all the time. scout will pace around the lab as medic does work and just ramble about his day, his thoughts, any ideas for experiments he has that he thinks Doc could pull off.
- I can see both scout and medic as the type of people who just cannot sit or stand still for more than a few minutes. Medic can handle it better, but even he gets restless being still.
- I love both the interpretations that medic loves touch and the interpretation that he hates touch. I see it more as medic adores touch in the sense that he must be the one to initiate it or on certain days he feels more touch adverse. With this in mind I believe that scout is very similar in the sense he loves touch but also can really hate it other times. So I like to imagine that they just y’know poke at one another :)
- I like the idea of them being bros that acknowledge their equal desire for comfort from touch but also the occasional adversity of it. So I think they’d do like platonic cuddling and stuff just because
I WILL DO THE OTHERS AND THEIR DYNAMICS WITH SCOUT IN THE NEZT POST BUT I MUST EAT
LOVING your scout thoughts. Tell me more im sitting and listening and kicking my legs back and forth and giggling like I'm on the phone
BRO SHDHSGSHfaHWGSGS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH
Okay okAY I have like so many headcanons for Jeremy Scout and like my own interpretation of the other scout I couLD GO ON FOR DAYS
Anyway!!! Dynamics!! ‘M gonna talk about that and just,,, stuff about scout I like and headcanon,,,
- scout is a lot smarter than people give him credit for and I will fist fight anyone about that. he is smart intelligence wise and emotional wise.
- I see a lot of scout having ADHD; which I believe 100%, but I do believe he is also autistic. I don’t see a lot of people bringing up that idea, but as a person with autism, he just gives off the vibe.
- also scout slurs his words together because he talks too fast. everything he does is fast. so sometimes he needs to be reminded to slow down a little.
- I love love love the idea of scout and pyro being bffs, and not like the same way scout is bffs with sniper. I mean like in the sense they kinda get each other without really getting each other. They’re both underestimated and perceived as less than their worth (both being babied and seen as dumber than they are at times)
- they are both childish but not children! they can color together and make comics together and scout will collect rare plushies to trade with pyro because they cAN HAVE INTERESTS THAT ARE DEEMED CHILDISH WITHOUT BEING CHILDREN
- and I don’t care what anyone says!! pyro and scout hold hands and scout does not mind because it helps pyro keep themself grounded!!!
- pyro and scout will go to one another if the other can’t sleep and they’ll just watch crappy movies and giggle and half the time they don’t even talk they just enjoy each others presence
- scout and sniper are the friends that one talks and one listens. they are best friends in the sense I think scout treats sniper like how he treats his brothers
- scout will just gangle himself around this jungle gym of a man because it is fun and there is a primal urge to climb anything tall. sniper is desensitized to it and will just let scout do whatever.
- like sniper is the friend that scout feels comfortable enough to let out all his stims and stuff around. he could just doodle on sniper, fiddle with his fingers, yank his hair, touch his face, bite his hand, and sniper will just allow it because he knows scout doesn’t even really think about doing it, it just happens. he won’t tell scout to lower his voice or slow down, he just lets him go wild, y’know?

I WILL DO THE OTHERS AND THEIR DYNAMICS WITH SCOUT IN THE NEZT POST BUT I MUST EAT
anyway love scout he’s such a lil guy to me
wanna study him like he’s a lil lizard
Could go on a rant about how much I love the dynamics of all the mercs but I won’t cause we’d be here for ages
this all also ties into the fact that nO THE MERCS DONT HATE SCOUT STOP SAYING THEY HATE HIM THEY CARE ABOUT HIM HES JUST A LIL ANNOYING BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DISLIKE HIM RARARARAHGAGAAGGRARARARARA
THE MERCS DONT HATE MEDIC THEY DONT HATE PYRO THEY DONT SCOUT THEY DONT HATE SPY THEY DONT HATE EACH OTHER THEY’RE ALL JUST EFFED UP WEIRDOS WHO CARE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER IN THEIR OWN WAYS
Scout is the type of guy to go up to soldier and tell him to punch him as hard as he can in the face just to see if he can take it, alright? or tell medic to replace his lungs with bigger ones just to see how much longer he can go on with running, just to see, y’know?
He wants to prove that he can take it all. He is the one jumping up and down hand raised at the chance to be a test subject for any of the team’s dangerous stunts. He was the type of kid to be thrown into the pool by his older brothers only to run back and tell them to do it again, to throw him further. He would’ve been the type of kid that broke his leg and didn’t tell his ma because he figured it wasn’t a big deal and he had a baseball game to finish anyway! He would 100% come back to the base after a morning jog, bleeding and covered in wounds because oh yeah he got attacked by a coyote during his run, only to sit down and eat breakfast without a care in the world.
I’m tired of the “scout has low pain tolerance” and “scout is afraid of medic” (along with the other mercs) trend
Like, you think the youngest of eight brothers wouldn’t walk off a jaw shattering punch to the face?? You think the guy who runs in-between bullets would fold immediately after being skimmed in the arm?? The man literally runs head first into danger and you’re gonna tell me he has low pain tolerance?? HE’S THE ONE ACTIVELY RUNNING INTO IT!! He was shot in the stomach by a robot and literally didn’t complain about it despite the fact he was actively dying!!
Like I get the joke of him being good against terrible mounts of pain but folding at something like a paper cut but I’m tired of people saying he wouldn’t be able to handle himself from a sizable injury despite the fact that’s an expectation of his job.
And none of the mercs hate medic or are scared of him, I’m tired of seeing that discussion. Scout, who was the first person after Heavy to get the Uber-transplant heart—you think he’s scared of medic?? that man probably fought tooth and nail to be the first one in there!! he may be childish but he is not a child and im tired of these seemingly child-like traits be assigned to him despite the fact there is evidence against it :,)

thinking about how in expiration date spy knowz exactly what soldier wantz without him even saying anything he knew straight away that he wanted the bucket and i think itz sweet, spy is alwayz made out to be cold and unfeeling but he knowz hiz team well and just expiration date in general showz that spy doez care about hiz team he could have just spent 3 dayz doing whatever he wanted but he made the effort to try and help everyone fulfill their last wish even if it didnt end up working out for him and even after scout waz being a little shit to him he still spendz what he thinkz is hiz final 3 dayz helping scout try to get a date idk spy thoughtz rattling around in my head today
nothing gets me more heated than people saying it’s weird when other players have a female tav that romances astarion because he’s “obviously gay.”
a man being flamboyant =/= gay. astarion has expressed attraction to all genders, and it is canon that he is pansexual. equating “flamboyant” to “gay” can can be harmful so please stop.
i know this is just a video game and some stupid online discourse, but it’s so frustrating to see people spewing bigoted rhetoric and passing it off as some enlightened progressive take.
