tl;dr This blog is archived as of mentioned date. In short, I will no update it (aside from updating masterlists) and it will stay in a limbo, for good. Thanks for all the memories! <3
--------
Hello, hello!
*sighs* I'll get straight to the point: I've grown out of this side blog. To put it shortly, it's going to be archived.
After ruminating this over the course of weeks, I've finally archiving this blog. I'm not going deleting it considering it became part of my love for writing for about four years. Fandoms written in this blog are dear to my heart too and I don't have it in me to throw it all away.
I also moved on to other fandoms and my focus changed drastically that I stirred away from this blog for a long time, my last announcement being two years ago.
Don't worry as I'll be updating my masterlist that's been horribly outdated and organize my blog too before it stays where it is.
I would like to thank to all who sent requests, mass liking and reblogging my stuff I made years ago and for all the interaction/compliments I see in the ask and tags! I see those and makes me happy every time peeps still enjoy my old stuff :)
I'm very much active on my main blog (@/the-fallen-aesthetics) and, if you want, feel free to follow me! I post a lot of art related to my fandoms these days!
Anyways, straight to the point: I'm going on a hiatus, specifically this blog. This has been inactive for a long while now but I decide to officially announce this.
I've stopped playing TF2 for a while and kind of lost interest in it due to a change of interests. I'm also facing burnout with both writing and creativity in general for the past few months. Don't worry though as I'm slowly getting back on track lately by creating art.
This blog will remain here and won't delete it whether I choose to go back on it or not. I'll still be reblogging from other writers though (and from my art blog whenever possible).
Roadtrip Mix 1 with your comfort character(s) Prompts (Part 1)
My playlist for this list: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Nn8dSZKSLGw8xiJI6cdzs?si=c832d96a7e8c4040 (remove "https://href.li/?" before the "https" bc idk why tumblr is doing that-)
Note that these are mostly platonic, some are romantic. Have fun reading! You are also free to use these prompts! :D
=====
Part 1 (You're here!) || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5
(Will update the links when the series is done!)
=====
Track 1. (Driving by Wanderer)
You have awoken from your seat with the character staring at you. The car is parked near a shore, the sun about to peek from the horizon.
"Good morning, Y/N." They said with a smile. "You're just in time for the sunrise."
Track 2. (Fake It Till You Make It by DREAMERS)
You and the characters are jamming to your music on a long road trip until you all realized you missed your first bathroom stop. The next stop is farther than the previous one. Oops.
Track 3. (F*cked up by Young Rising Sons)
You clung for your dear life as the character sped through the traffic, police sirens wailing from behind.
"You're insane!" You shouted, clutching your seat from all the sudden sharp turns.
"I'm glad you've finally realized that!" they've shouted before turning the vehicle sharply to the right.
Track 4. (I'm Sorry by Peach Tree Pascals)
The squad from behind likes your music taste while the driver isn't as interested but doesn't bother to change the music. Maybe they secretly like it? 😳
Track 5. (Someone To You by BANNERS)
"Hey, Y/N?" the character on the driver's seat says as the car stops.
You sit up from the rear groggily, "Sup?"
They turn their head, "...I have something to tell you."
It's been a while since I updated but I've finally decided to write a bit for the rest of the month. I've been juggling ideas around since I've created playlists and planning to write prompts about the songs I've put there.
Edit: As for the requests, might as well getting back to them after being in my inbox for ages lol ^^;
Ghosts who refuse to heal their Guardians when they’re mad (in non-critical situations)
Ghosts who ship their Guardian and are *vocal* about it

Ghosts who insist they want to try out tons of ridiculous hobbies, or try to find some to do with their Guardian
Ghosts who sneakily transmat things they like back to the ship, much to the surprise of their Guardian
Cuddly Ghosts who press up against their Guardian while they sleep
Ghosts who like their own little cubby/space to spend time while their Guardian sleeps (it’s fully decorated)
Ghosts who insist they’re better than their Guardian at interior decorating
Ghosts who like to wander the City alone while their Guardian is on the Tower taking care of things
Ghosts who remind their Guardian to sleep/eat/hydrate/fix their posture
Ghosts that bonk their shells against their Guardian in frustration or playfulness
Ghosts who get sick of it when their Guardian is in love
Ghosts that hate each other, but their Guardians are best friends or lovers
Ghosts that are best friends, but their Guardians hate each other
Ghosts without Guardians silently choosing a Lightless who they get along with, pretending they’re a pair for a while
Ghosts who stick with their Lightless friend until the end, hoping – always hoping – that it might change
Ghosts without Guardians that help look after the refugee children with/without parents, hoping to help in some way
Ghosts that are just. Really bad at reading the room, much to the chagrin of their Guardian.
Ghosts who don’t care what their Guardian thinks, because who’s been alive longer? That’s right. It’s Ghost.
Ghosts who made a bunch of friends (Guardian or Lightless) before they found their Guardian, so everyone forgets the new Guardian is there the first few times.
Ghosts who are WAY too proud of their Guardian, constantly embarrassing the Guardian who just wants to turn in bounties.
Ghosts who begrudgingly rate each new outfit/color as their Guardian plays fashion
Ghosts who are *way* too into the fashion show, and their Guardian is begging them to let it go.
Ghosts trying to sing with their Guardian – who also can’t sing.
Ghosts who adamantly want a pet
Ghosts who insist they can’t have a pet, because it’s already hard trying to keep the Guardian alive (and they get multiple shots at it)
Ghosts that get huffy when they’re upset, but not vocally. You just see their shells twisting and puffing in and out.
Ghosts betting things between each other (Hey, I bet you this shell that my Guardian will get more kills than yours)
Ghosts that tut at their Guardian over every little scratch and bruise out of worry
Ghosts who always use some of their down time in the City to mourn those lost. Some of those that their Guardian never knew, because they lived and died before Ghost found their Guardian.
Good ways to characterize Demo without resorting to the “drunk cardboard cut-out”
Okay lets face it as much as i’d like him to be demo can’t be the star of every fan fiction. Sometimes, he will be a background character, and a common and oft talked about fact of the tf2 fandom is when he gets relegated to “side” demo just becomes a walking drunk joke
so, even if you can’t give his character the nuance it deserves in your fic, i’ve compiled a bunch of different of his characteristics you can boil him down to without making him like every other painful-to-read demoman
Family Man- Demo is really invested in his family. He takes time to care for his mother, and obviously misses his father dearly. It could be something he talks about openly with his team or not, we’re never shown for sure, but that is something that can have a lot of potential. Especially with stories with themes of family or found family
Loves His Job- Demo loves explosions. He’s proud of his skills, and (like every other member of the team save for pyro) has been shown to be confident in them, if not downright cocky. Engie likes to tinker, Heavy likes his gun, and Demo likes to blow things up. It can be as simple as having him do something like that when he appears “on-screen”
Self-Esteem Issues- In his meet the team video, it’s show that he’s not always sure of himself, especially when he *is* drunk. Although, it’s important to note that these issues revolve around his eye/appearance, and not about his skills. If you absolutely cannot think of any other way to put Demo in your story besides focusing on his drinking, remeber this. Some people are “happy/affectionate drunks” some people are “angry drunks” but when Demo drinks he gets very sad, sappy, and emotional.
Interest In Occult/Mystical- Here’s a more rare one, but certainly the most interesting. With a world as strange and nonsensical as the TF2 universe, there are plenty of opportunities for Demo’s expertice might come into play. Need someone to give exposition on why exactly everyone has a bird head this morning? Demo’s your guy
hopefully you take something away from this, and I see lots of different and varied demomen in the future!
Gosh, it’s been awhile huh? I have a lot a things to say so sit tight and buckle up.
Tl;dr: 500+ followers milestone; hiatus because I’m graduating this year (yay!); and will try to update this blog monthly with one or two posts.
First and most of all... 500+ followers? To be honest, I don’t know how to celebrate this milestone because I’ve never quiet reached this huge following before. I might have to think of something in the near future. Maybe writing prompts for a specific series and headcanons I’ve come to think about.
Secondly, I’m part of upcoming graduation class and been wrapping up the last of my subjects from the past few months... hence, my long “hiatus”. Not helping the fact I’m working on my final project which would take a lot more effort than expected. All of my attention is poured onto the project and barely have any time to write.
Lastly, I’ll try to give monthly updates. I felt horrible for not giving this blog the the attention it needs like I did a while back. I’ll at least try to take a break from the project because it’s draining the hell out of me and try to write for funsies like the old times.
Anyway, have a good day/night! Take care, lovelies.
Idk why but villains with standards will always be the funniest thing to me. like you'll get someone who will take absolute pleasure in doing the most vile things but paying their minions less than minimum wage? how dare you insult their honor. there'll be a guy who just loves terrorizing people but if you say something sexist about his sidekick he'll punch you in the throat and step aside with glee to let her pummel you. villains who are like "murder is fine generally but if you're a homophobe then I'll tie you to a boulder and catapult you into the ocean". Idk there's just something innately hilarious about a villain who is very definitively bad, like extremely morally reprehensible, but like there are just certain things that even they won't stoop to, thereby implying that those who do are worse
Short update, it seems like my queue is delayed due to college and irl stuff. I’ll be posting another (updated) queue list this weekend. I am too tired to do anything productive after an exhausting day.
Ooo, I could pretty much guarantee most of them will be in denial lmao
Notes: No established relationship (yet), denial of romantic interest.
Ship: Each merc separately x Male!Reader
(Headcanon format)
[ Scout ]
Let’s be honest here, he’s in denial. He strongly denies that he has a crush on you in front of everyone that he yearns for. He turns down the topic when it’s brought up, laughing it off nervously while glancing at you. He doesn’t like the way he feels but, god, your smiles make him want to melt.
Will say something in-between the lines of “no homo” in every interaction with you. You simply don’t understand and shrug it off while Jeremy is dying inside to tell you what he feels.
Unable to find a way to confess, he ends up protecting you on the battlefield or waits for you to respawn and doesn’t go away no matter how much your teammates’ try to budge him from his place or get his ass moving.
[ Soldier ]
Soldier gets suspiciously quiet at the mention of your name, he’s just there and flushing red. He straight up says a big “NO” when someone asks him if he likes you. He’s terrible at hiding his feelings and you’re aware of this as well but you didn’t push him away.
Gets rigid whenever you try to interact with him and tries his best not to mutter stupid things.
Will try to impress you with his… “appreciation” gifts by leaving them at your doorway.
[ Pyro ]
Pyro burying themself in their hands when the mercs tease them about their crush. They find themself not denying the fact that they love you so much.
Will interact with you with every chance they get and very precious when around you.
Has a high possibility to confess to you and you find it adorable when they do.
[ Demoman ]
Demoman doesn’t show it and attempts to bury it deep down, downing bottles of rum to forget about you. But he simply can’t do it.
Ranting to his teammates over and over that he doesn’t like you and unlikely to tell since his blush is always present on his cheeks whenever he drinks a bit too much.
You don’t know but he loves initiating physical contact with you whenever he carries you away from an ambush from the enemy team or hugging your lungs out if your team won.
[ Heavy ]
Big, Russian man is very confused as to where are these… strange feelings are coming from. If one looks closely, Heavy’s usual stern look will soften when he glances at you.
Implicitly denies his feelings, especially when you’re not around but the denial is always accompanied by a small blush.
He will probably leave you alone for a while since he’s thinking whether he should tell his honest feelings or not. He’s overprotective over you though and he doesn’t realize it until someone pointed it out.
[ Engineer ]
Oh goshdarnit. Your laugh always makes his stomach tingle in a good way. He knows what this feeling means but consciously repressing those ideas by denying them.
Engi calls you to his workshop as an excuse to help him rebuild his sentries. You never complain and you don’t mind helping. He usually tells you stories about him and his bizarre teammates and you can’t help but laugh at some of them or sarcastically comment on the said stories.
He actively tries to bury his feelings for you while trying to impress you at the same time. Though calm for the most part, he still can’t shake off the thought that he likes to hold you in his arms.
[ Medic ]
Mein Gott. What have you done to this man? He’s a stuttering mess when around you and his sinister grin turns into an awkward smile. He has thought of you asking Merasmus for asking him to fall in love with you but that’s very unlikely.
Accidentally blabbers about how handsome you are and immediately covers his mouth with his bloody hand. You and Heavy stared at each other as Medic recomposes himself and mutters “nothing”. Since then, he uses words carefully whenever you assist him in patching up one of your teammates.
His scolding to you is less harsh than everyone else, especially when you’re injured in the battle. His treatment of your wounds is delicate more than the others. He really is something else...
[ Sniper ]
Sniper is quiet more than usual yet strangely protective when it comes to you. He simply doesn’t understand these feelings and it’s not like he’s attracted to the opposite sex.
He mumbles your name in his sleep, not realizing some teammates heard him and Scout tells you about it. The poor guy didn’t catch a break and hides his face by tipping his hat forward when the topic is brought up.
Doesn’t do anything about his feelings as he denies them silently though he still finds himself electrified when you tap him by his shoulder, snapping him out of those thoughts.
[ Spy ]
Spy already had an exquisite taste in ladies but that changes when he laid his eyes on you, you swore you saw sparks in his eyes.
He teases you occasionally but there are chances that this brings out his flirty side. He just can’t help himself from doing so when you encounter him on the battlefield or you’re just hanging around in the base all alone.
Doesn’t plan to confess anytime soon no matter how much he wants to dance with you and go on dates with you. That’s no simple feat considering those times, people are judgemental and openly express their disgust towards that kind of relationship.
I’m planning to release a queue list along with the fic I’ve been working on since August and it’s going to contain 3-5 items. This weekend isn’t going to be that busy for me so I have room to write some requests left in my inbox.
Anyway, that’s all! Take care and stay safe, lovelies!
