Fiddleford is a bad influence I swear
What, did Zephaniah Mann do?
Look, if there's one thing I know about Valve Lore, is that its really hidden, really coded, and TF2 has been fucking TEASING for decades now.
And as far as I'm concerned...
We know who the mystery man in the rip is... That's Gray Mann, the missing brother. Gods knows he's been teased enough over the years.
But here, I'm interested in...
[ Spoilers below ]
... Where the stinger occurs.
Zephy is not an only child.
Because his brother is Silas Mann, the Headless Horseless Mann. Owner of a mansion, haunting that very mansion. Shown in the first picture posted. They ran "Zephaniah Mann and Sons, Quarterly Munitions" Together.
Its a tradition for Mann sons to kill the other siblings. Its why there was such a rivalry between the Mann twins (erm, Triplets).
Our Admin apparently knew already, was already observing the situation...
She was waiting.
What, did Zephaniah Mann do?
Why does the administrator hate him so much?
Does it have something to do with a little girl...
... Who can't remember how her parents died.
The man in the picture wears a Towering Pillar of Hats. While that's just the TF2 Timeline Aesthetic... there is another significant element.
Its in Coal Town, surrounded by Hales. While its the "Booths" hat, it was around, clearly, before Bilious was a baby--in Barnabas Time.
Zephaniah and Sons would become Mann Co, after being given to Barnabas.
What, did Zephaniah Mann do?
Easy.
He murdered the Administrator's father, Silas Mann, and her mother, out of "Tradition", and then claimed that HE was an ONLY CHILD like the selfish self-centered bastard he is.
And Our Administrator ensured, even through vengeance that lasted centuries, to a point where she didn't even remember why she started, that it would Never Continue.
Vengeance of a little girl who lost her parents.
Arguably, in comic lore, the torn picture isn't exactly accurate anymore.
Because that Gray Mann in the center, and our Mann Twins didn't even know there was a Gray Mann, and in fact, most of the people in the picture didn't even know about him. And if they took a picture, then clearly, someone would've known.
So its more than likely, a portrait or lore symbollic only. Only meant for the fans, to know what we're looking for and Who, about the time of the first Halloween Events.
( Look it took decades to get all the comics, mate, its not gonna be a craft masterpiece. We get what we get. )
Okay so this idea just kind of popped into my head as like an angst comic I wanted to make so I have to write it down so basically this little idea of mine:
Spy was pretty much away During scouts entire childhood but wrote him letters to him about how he wishes he could go spend time with him and whatnot or telling scout vague things about his work. Scouts been writing to him as he grows up, but as he grew, the letters from his father would come in less and less until it would be a very rare occasion if his father ever sent back a letter, Scout would still write letters as he had hope his dad would reply once again.
Then one day, as he’s walking to his room, he passes spy. Scout catches spy looking at a letter in his hand but doesn’t think anything of it until spy accidentally drops the letter. Scout turns around and picks it up, opening and reading the content inside the letter. He’s shocked as he realizes this is the last letter he sent to his father.
Fast forward to the next day, a battle is about to start and scout looks around to make sure nobody sees him, he goes back to the base and gets into spies room, wondering if spy had managed to get ahold of anymore of his letters. Scout looks around spies room for anything, a box, a folder, anything that could contain more letters. He walks over to spies desk, noticing a fountain pen and a pile of crumbled papers, then piece of paper with two words. “Dear Jeremy..”. Scout becomes more eager to find anything that could indicate his fathers whereabouts.
He ends up stumbling upon a box that isn’t shut all the way. Scout lifts the lid of the box and to his shock, there was letters. So many letters. Scout looked through them and saw his most recent ones at the top of the pile. He reached to the bottom of the box and saw letters he wrote from when he was a kid. Scout plans to confront spy about all of this.
(Sorry if sentences don’t make sense, English isn’t my first language 🫠 this is a idea for a comic I wanted to make but yeah.
