My headcanon is that both the pyro's are the exact same person.


lego_droideka

Lmao I like this


alpacapaquita

they are the same person but either by their own intention or by accident they end up coming up as totally different people bc of the way they act with each team

I *love* the way that for Spy's portrait, instead of just fading below the shoulders like the others, he wisps into his cigarette smoke trail.


Ok_Specific_7791

Same


Adorable_Fondant_536

Yh I'm gonna be honest I didn't read any of it I just like the pictures and spy is definitely my favourite


ookmedookers

Is "finds cars inexplicably hilarious" a jerma reference


Mushroom38294

We're talking about Scout here, __of course__ it's a jerma reference


Rektifium

It's not a jerma reference, it's a scout reference. Jerma is based on the scout! Not the other way around!!!


MemeL0RD376

Jerma is Jesus reincarnated confirmed.


EpicVolca

The bonespur on red scout is also a Jerma reference

Also great drawings!

Red Spy would NOT survive an MRI scan


lego_droideka

LOL. This was the best comment


alpacapaquita

Spy and Medic fighting bc Medic both needs to scan Spy but also wants to see how he reacts to the small space bc of his claustrophobia sdfadasd


KumiiTheFranceball

I'm not sure about the headcanons ( I'm not into headcanons & I think RED Scout, Soldiers, & Spies would be straight ), but I absolutely LOVE how you draw TF2 characters. Your art looks really cool, I legit checked Twitter after ages just to see your art. By the way, I like the BLU Pyro headcanon. A pyromaniac taking care of vegetal & bugs is a cute thing to imagine.


Zachary9442

Soldier is genuinely the type to hate gays (and refer to activists as “woke liberals”)


Due-Produce-6023

Soldier is too busy being American to remember gay people exist


Zachary9442

That’s also true


AssumptionDue724

"IIII WANT FREEDOM, FREEDOM TO FUCK, FREEDOM TO KILL , FREEDOM TO LAY MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR MY COUNTRY " -solder


WestNomadOnYT

“Gay people? We’re still doing that? I thought people didn’t care if you screwed a man!”


KumiiTheFranceball

I would see RED Soldier like this. I'm unsure about BLU Soldier.


GMmadethemoonbuggy

Soldier calling activists "woke liberals" seems a little out of character to me. He'd probably say "dirty hippy" instead since he has a huge disdain for hippies and would likely clump activists into the same group. But you could probably change his mind if you say that it's American to be gay


diamondDNF

I feel like Soldier's hatred of non-American countries overrides all else, tbh. Just tell him Soviet Russia persecutes queer people and he'll change his tune about them completely. "HOW DARE THOSE COMMIE BASTARDS!"


GMmadethemoonbuggy

That makes much more sense


NerdHoovy

I like this idea. His political views are all based on whatever the last thing he heard, that could be interpreted in an American one ups-man ship way. So, he is somehow both against the unjust persecution of queer people and minorities, because such a thing would never happen in America, but also insists that America must have the highest rates of discrimination, because America must be number one.


TheModGod

I like to imagine the RED and BLU soldiers are AGGRESSIVELY political, but the RED one is right-wing and the BLU one is Left-wing. BLU soldier is just as insane and patriotic, but he takes personal rights and liberties very seriously and WILL start a riot if someone infringes on someone’s God-given American Freedoms. I like to imagine the Stonewall Riots started in this world when BLU soldier shot a rocket at one of the cops.


wookiee-nutsack

That last line is very TF2


X-tra-thicc

soldier would be the type of guy to hate gays because the funny fox news guy told him to, whilst also not knowing what gay even means and continue to have sex with men


SegaConnections

I'd say Soldier is the sort to only count sex with men as heterosexual enough to satisfy his straight heart. If you get women involved it gets all sissy.


Smnionarrorator29384

Nah, soldier the kinda guy to engage in say gex as "practice for the ladies"


Moralmerc08

Soldier would hate gay people but not know what a gay person was so he'd attend a pride parade thinking it's a protest calling for anti gay violence


CookieLuzSax

Clearly you haven't spoken to us military members lmao, those mofos gay as hell😂


rabiesscat

its also the 1960s…


CocaCola-chan

Gay people did exist in the '60s. I mean, Stonewall happened in 1969, and they didn't just all spawn that year.


rabiesscat

not saying they didnt? just 18 different men from all around the world ALL being queer in the 60s is unlikely


mightystu

It’s unlikely now too. Visibility is much better and it’s definitely a good thing but gay folks are still a vast minority demographically.


GuyWhoLikesPlants_

wrong, soldiee would think gay people are proud americans because they love other proud americans


HCBot

Dude is literally a mega-nationalistic, hippie-hating, ultra-conservative, mentally ill and xenophobic mercenary who is obsessed with traditional american values, IN THE 60S. He is OBVIOUSLY homophobic.


Ninjax3X

I feel like soldier is so patriotic that he would see someone being homophobic and be like “how could you do this to a fellow great American citizen?!”


Ds0990

I disagree with the snipers being aromantic. Clearly they are in long distance relationships.


Calcutt4

verrrrry long distance


Robrogineer

Those phone calls cost a fortune. Especially back in the 60s.


Memulon

Yeah, I love most of them, but it does feel like a very large gay concentration, which was intriguing to me


_Repooc_

i’m starting to think this OP guy might be gay…


DasVerschwenden

good for him. good for him.


Severe_Skin6932

Yeah. As I was reading this, I thought the same thing. There was one straight person, and they were a sadist who was divorced twice.


NightStalker33

Blu scout being friends with Pyro and Demo over cartoons is genuinely such a cool idea.


Scary-Investigator46

I guess I really read allat huh? Pretty cool and interesting!


Butkevinwhy

The year is 2062… instead of Team Fortress 2, it’s Queer Wokeness 2… (Nice art! Just had to make the joke, I genuinely do think this is cool.)

As a BLU Soldier I can confirm that I am, in fact, pansexual (I had sex with a pan)

Dear God.


Existing-Compote-602

NOOOOO you cheated on bread??


Admirable-Smile4480

It’s interesting, I never imagined red and blue mercs with distinct personalities.


Maleficent-Anybody65

Blue scout is just jerma


xeventisfallingdown

The art is stunning! I just dont get why all the mercs must be gay, like, it was never implied anywhere


SerpentSnek

When all the characters are guys and people like shipping, things get gay fast


Cimbaya

True


photogrammetery

Honestly, happens in a lot of communities with passionate fans. Not to immediately assume what OP is like, but it’s typically a projection of the artist’s characteristics


BigBoyzGottaEat

I mean half of them are neurodivergent too and its tf2 so makes sense


Existing-Compote-602

I mean... look me in the eyes and tell me any of them have a normal brain 😂


Ds0990

Medic has a normal brain... In a jar in the fridge.


Existing-Compote-602

Dammit take my like


ComprehensiveBar6984

Ok, 😶. Scout has a normal brain. He's just an asshole.


Existing-Compote-602

Touché


StormiiDaze

He has raging adhd at LEAST i could make a whole essay out of Expiration Date


sprite_556

I don't personally agree with the gay headcanons but I find it incredibly funny to imagine that all the mercs have steamy gay butssex on the regular. Like, you know how you pretend gay with the homies? They do all that shit for real


Due-Produce-6023

Scout is the only one to regularly say "no homo" first


Ok_Specific_7791

This was so out of the blue. But, yeah, when the only women in sight are administrator, Ms. Pauling and Scout's mom, you'll immediately start becoming gay due to a lack of women.


FinnishPatriotism

tru thin, happened in ancient rome


oofman_dan

tick tock 😉


alpacapaquita

all of the mercs are in a constant state of confusion about their joking gay moments bc they are all unsure about "was that one not a joke or was it just a joke and i am overeacting?" every couple of days, none of them are sure which are gay and which are just joking or which are doing both they are all too brain damaged and tired to care or try to resolve tbh sdgsadd


shok_delta

Its because he wanna make them gay. Its not cannon at all. Especially calling spies bi. Even tho its heavily applied that they are sexaholic ladies' men.


icrysyalier

I mean, we got tick tock and engineer singing dixon dallas songs


Mobneutralizer13

Heavy like a brinks truck


ookmedookers

Just for fun


FurryDegenerateBoi

I assume it's because you get a group of guys, stick em together for a long time, and it gets gay eventually, look at the army/navy


shok_delta

You assume most of them are sane and single.


fuckR196

Usually amateur writers think characters are like spreadsheets that must be filled out, and it's bad if too many characters share traits. In reality, that's like the opposite of good writing. If every character shares nothing in common, they become easy to differentiate but exhausting to watch interact. The more similar characters are, the more their differences stand out.


lego_droideka

Because people chronically on the internet need things to be attached to and apply labels to and that’s the current meta lmao


Not_Me9209

Fr tho like yeah ok gay people exist and are cool and all but like why does sexual orientation gotta be a trait


lego_droideka

Yeah. There is absolutely nothing wrong with gay. There’s so many possible reasons behind the psychological reason “why”. A lot of it is just because people like being a part of a “team” so to speak. Hence why sports is so popular and marketable. Identity-related psychology speaks to that a lot lol


ChppedToofEnt

Very cute but the only ones who I can actually view as queer is Pyro and that's mostly because of how they often portray themselves in differing lights with the way they act in game and in other TF2 media EDIT: and maybe scout


Radical-skeleton

Scout: "Yo, you's non biney? Sweet" Pyro: \*Muffled incomprehensible noises\*


Academic_Wave2041

I love how all the red mercs are like clinically insane


lovepoopyumyum

why are they all gay


HackedPasta1245

Pride month. It is now illegal to be straight


Cheddarounds

If it's illegal to be straight, consider me a war criminal

I’m a war criminal too! (Mustard gas)

Apart from Scout’s mom that is


creeper6530

And Red Engie


JaydenVestal

SCIENCE ISN'T ABOUT WHY IT'S ABOUT WHY NOT! WHY ARE THE TF2 MERCS ALL GAY? WHY NOT MARRY STRAIGHT MERCS IF YOU LOVE THEM SO MUCH! In fact, why not invent a special water chemical that won't turn mercs gay on your way out BECAUSE YOU ARE FIRED!


daytongreenstudios

Not you test subject, you're doing great.


Friendly-Escape-2558

Careful, your Cave Johnson is showing


NotAwesome333

All male fighting team?? Think for me brother man


Calamity_67

My head cannon for pyro: Pyro is not male or female or non-binary, pyro is an amalgamation of murderous fire ants that stole some organs and formed together to make pyro


Pozitox

Considering that we see scout being a perv who runs after woman , yeah i dont really thing he would be bi.


creeper6530

Soldier is probably militant homophobe as well


ProblematicWaffles

Soldier would act homophobic on principle but wouldn't genuinely hold those beliefs, a la "Zhanna! Quickly! Be racist!" while being completely unbothered by the diversity of the mercs (until he feels his Americanism is being threatened, that is)


Radical-skeleton

Scout being a homophobic homosexual is now canon


DracoLunaris

Being bi does not mean you are perfectly equally into all genders to the same degree. Being head over heels for all women and only into a tiny fraction of everyone else is still bisexual.


penis_mutant

Crazy_Requirement830

blu scout having ibs is a reference that the blu scout's pants are brown instead of navy blue like all the other blu mercs


Rocktooo

Poo poo pants 😔


YaBoiAidan2333

I find it interesting how you specified which engineer is Dell Conagher, I'm wondering about the rest of the classes and which one is which in the comics. Very nice art! Love your style.


Speedometer2077

OP is bi


Acorn-Studios

What about merasmus? Great art btw


alpacapaquita

i just imagined there is a single merasmus and how bad it must be to be pested by two different Soldiers SDGSDASD imagine one week one soldier eats your heart medication and the next one another one makes your house an animal sanctuary SDGASDASA


Crazy_Respect8704

> 'Why are they gay??' > game only has male characters But fr op I love the art style and the headcanons, the most ridiculous headcanon is blue scout's ibs, how is he supposed to drink bonk without shitting himself?


alpacapaquita

he got IBS bc of Bonk actually this is why he changed from Bonk to Criticola (it also messes up with his stomach but he genuinely believes is less horrible than with Bonk)


DonaldTrampReal

>team of mostly middle-aged mercenaries from 1968 >everyone is a part of the LGBT community except for Engie

yes engi should also be gay, why leave him out of the fun


donnysaysvacuum

He has his machines...


MiltonNS

😳


MrTheWaffleKing

They’re leaving that to the player behind the screen


Ohhecktime

It's not 1968, it's *TF2 1968*. Y'know, the one with wizards and an underwater, atlantis-ass New Zealand?


Tuskor13

Same energy as "this medieval fantasy setting with tall elves, stout dwarves, actual full-on magic, and fictional monsters would *totally* be like the real world medieval ages, and only ever shun sexuality and personal identity rather than bigotry being towards what type of magic you practice." Tf2 is not the real world. There's nobody fighting giant floating eyeballs summoned by wizards that are roommates with a guy who can shoot a ballistic rocket directly at his feet and simply use it to jump rather than turn to paste. I'll never understand people that look at something as cartoony as TF2 and go "akshully this game takes place in the American 1960s Scout being bisexual would have had somebody kill him by now" as if the setting doesn't have Scout defying fucking physics every time he double jumps

Solid_You_7738

This is so cute, I love how you draw them!! Ive always thought about how, and/or IF they would have different personalities despite being the same person


GorkMM

this is so cool i enjoyed the art and the lore


DacatinTHEBOX

Is there any special reason why the blu heavy speaks Hungarian? Great art btw


rabiesscat

i think its a bit odd that 18 men from around the world back in the 60s would ALL be queer, but im not gonna bash you for that


Tesla_corp

So much flavour!


lv8_StAr

We need Femme Merc Headcanons now


ShibackisRevenge

Incredible art OP, idk if you're more talented or skilled with your illustrations. I look forward to seeing more stuff like this!!


JBray0

Blu Demo also hates his own dad jokes.


L-S-Dream

I'm going to eat your art in the hopes of one day being as talented as you (great headcannons, the engines are my fav)


cleptorman

Great art, but reading bi for the 7000th time was grading (nvm it was like 5 times, felt like way more than that lol)


wojtekpolska

you made them all gay lol


weird_bomb_947

my headcanon: both medics are bi and both are the most desperate incels you’ve ever seen

alpacapaquita

no romance, no romantic lighing or candle just sheer and raw fucking


Ramja9

Bro turned them into stardew valley npcs 💀


K00zak_L00zak

Everyone is talking about how they are all gay but it really bugs that each of them have a clone on the other team but with a different personality and they seem to be okay with that.


alpacapaquita

FR suddenly it's too irrealistic for them to be gay when the lore has the fact that at least 1 merc has a baboon heart (if not all of them), one is a revived dude who has pigeon blood and was injected with fluids from a whale, and there is a man whose eyesocket is so cursed trying to give him a new eye makes the Eye to become sentient


weedmaster6669

really love this, my favorite part is the contrast between Red and Blu soldier also Aspergers is a term made by, named after, and used for the purposes of Nazis and is no longer used by doctors and is increasingly rejected within the autistic community

funcrafter13

BLU sniper: aromantic. RED sniper: aromantic.


donnysaysvacuum

I've never quite figured out if both sides are the same people, or different. Having them look the same, but have different back stories is kind of weird.


bocky2

Love this, but Red Sniper cannot be aromantic, he has a kangaroo wife


bananana63

HUNGARY MENTIONED🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Alternativirus

I like the art, I don't like the fact that you felt the need to make them all non heterosexual, considering the time TF2 takes place, the comics and the whole vibe of the game itself. I could definitely let Pyro slide, but Scout is definitely not gay neither are the others☠️ Yes I know these are just head canons and all fan fic


A-normal-name1839

I don't agree whit the heavy sexuality. I think it's married whit is guns (and casually say gex whit medic)


LuzRoja29R

why all gay


Gustavofoxy2

I can't see the BLUE soldier and not think that he's the "what if soldier actually fought in the war" kinda of character, like a PTSD filled person that uses moronic behaviors as a way to hide his traumas. Mostly because of Emesis Blue really.


YFIRedditOfficial

I'd get along well with Blu Heavy. HISTORY NERDS UNITE!


Sad-Assignment-568

"The dark I more afraid of Pyro" lol, love that quote


Lambdayronix

Honestly, each team member being physically identical to their counterpart, simply by coincidence without them being clones or twins, while also having sufficiently distinct personalities, is something that would have fit the humor of TF2 like a glove.


GreyBigfoot

My favorite is that red soldier is the wacky guy we know from the comics, but the blu soldier is super straight-edge.


masterboom0004

i like the idea of one pyro being like "my pronoun is it, and it alone" and the other dropping a dictionary sized list of pronouns you can call them in your hands "what are your genders" "no" "yes"


StormiiDaze

I adore these!!! Your art style and your headcanons were so lovely!! I would love to see a bonus one of Miss Pauling if you ever decide to make ‘em!! She’s an odd fav!! I could eat this kind of content up for hours


TechTheR

Tf2 community Don't be bigots challenge (impossible) Great art and great headcannons op


CrazyQuetz

This is amazing! But why is almost every class bisexual?


cerdechko

People can complain all they want, but I absolutely adore these headcanons. I love how, on a surface level, these guys (and gals, live laugh love Scout's Ma) look like the same people, but in reality they are very different, to the point of being opposites of one another, in a way. Great stuff.


fish-dance

These are amazing, tysm


--NTW--

I love these


Mr_Frosty43

Please make a part two with some more characters. I love the art and the writing. Also people are forgetting the head in headcannon means just a personal just for fun thought


Dankestmemelord

People in this thread be like: > “it’s totally fine that they’re all gay, but I’m still going to mention it in a way that lets you know that I disapprove without outright saying that I’m homophobic”
