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

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 :,)

a crumb of demo thoughts perhaps

Demo is like the one of the handful of tf2 characters that I will let myself psychoanalyze without feeling like I’m going too insane for doing it. His birth parents gave him up. He was adopted. He blew up his adoptive parents. His birth parents showed up and said “psyche we see now that you have talent and use we’ll take you back now”. He works to meet literal impossible standards. He’s an alcoholic. He loves his friends. He loves his friends so much. Ok? Ok. It’s just so much. (also there’s the wizard thing. Also the identity issues. the cyclops complex.) like brother if I grew up like that I would day drink and blow things up too! Good fucking god!

idk also just sort of thinking how he’s kind of the most outwardly nice and friendly merc, at least as far as the official comics are concerned. He makes sure to assure soldier that he’ll recognize him in disguise, he’s the one to grab onto sniper after he’s shot, he’s got the big dumb smile in the “we’re team fortress, and you’re DEAD” lineup. I don’t even know where I’m GOING with any of this. I’m just sort of fascinated by him. He’s a guy with so much going on and he’s dealing with it but no he’s not (alcoholic) but yes he is (cares for his friends) but no he’s not (hinged his happiness on his one job he cared about and crumbled after he lost it) but also yes he is (gestures fucking wildly)

ur so right abt medics joyous whimsy btw. he loves wiggling his fingers when he sees unattended organs and going “ooh! don’t mind if i do!” his favorite things are skipping and twirling and killing and maiming

Where's that post that's like "Medic tf2 is a physically imposing six-foot-tall German man whose voice sounds like he would jump into the air and click his heels when he gets a new shipment of organs". Bc that pegged it

Young Sean: Did Arthur say he'd take us hiking?

John: No. But we can work our way around him. Hosea taught me some tricks. Now, we take our hats off, ruffle our hair a bit. Now I'm gonna need you to gimmie some tears.

Sean: *fake cries*

John: Not too much! That's enough. Okay, now follow my lead.

Arthur: What do you two idiots want now?

John, teary eyed: Why do you never spend time with us?

Arthur: What?! I'm always spending time with you!

Sean, sniffling: It's like you don't even love us!

Arthur: You better be joking.

John: How can you not love your own baby brothers?!

Arthur: Ugh! Fine! I'll take you hiking! Just please stop!

John and Sean: Hooray!

Arthur, to himself: Okay, that was impressive.
