“Pay you--bloody hell, you kept sentries out of the conversation!”

“Did I now? Hm, it must have slipped my mind.”

Sniper scowls, a frustrated sigh leaving his mouth. As if the spy isn’t already enough trouble; it was getting difficult dealing with him by the minute. 

-

this has been sitting in my laptop for far too long so yeah

au where they’re working as partners

[ludwiggle098]

what’re they thinking about? we will never know

[ludwiggle098]

What are your thoughts on scout(s) secretly knowing French? Like he learned it on his off time to impress his dad but didn’t tell spy because he was embarrassed. And then one day he like swears in French or something like that

this is absolutely adorable and hilarious on its own; it's pretty sweet to think that the scouts learned french to impress spy (as if the man isn't already so proud of them; he's constantly being blown away by his sons)

i'd like to imagine that they hold this competition of some sorts, whoever learns the most amount of french the fastest wins; it's pretty intense, and neither one of them wants to give up

one instance on the battlefield, a single cuss had slipped out of one of the scouts' mouth, and spy happened to be there. said scout waits for the confrontation as spy approaches him. he gets all the more surprised when the man proceeds to give him a string of more cuss words to use

spy then gives him a pat on the shoulder before cloaking; he lets a smile play into his lips when he hears his son deliver said cusses

in my case, their ma had taught them and their other siblings to learn french; jeremy was the only one that goes to learn it earnestly. he listened to it on a whim, and he got the hang of it, speaks it pretty decently--his brother, jonathan (name i gave for blu scout), doesn't speak as well as jeremy, but he understands it

Do you have any dad!spy headcanons?

i don't know how else to contribute to this given the massive amount of very lovely headcanons out there, but here it is

>absolute hopeless father there is; tries his goddamn best for his sons, always there checking up on his family as much as he can

>spy falls apart seeing his son flash one big grin after getting the most points in a round. he's earned bragging rights, he's already made plans to tell scouts' ma all about it

>he never had that much chance to actually spend time with scout, even if he wanted to, so when he's given the opportunity, it doesn't usually come off the way he wants it to be

he's so used to having the 'snarky, challenging remark' stance when it comes to his son that it's almost a defence mechanism; he mentally berates himself for it. doesn't mean it'll stop him from trying to be more vulnerable for him

>spy is a sap and is the type of dad that will notice when his son is going to bed and, after a few minutes, will knock on their door gently, open it a little bit, and tell them his own way of good night

when there's tension between him and his son he'll still do it all the same, but the good night is so soft you can barely hear it

>spy actually used to jam to Tom Jones; he played it when he visited his wife at a certain point in time--he never knew how much it'd influence scout

not as much a question but do you have any snipperspy head canons

it's all good! i do have headcanons here and there, but most of them are dialogues, if anything. here's some that i got to have in a bit of detail:

> observing is one of the things they share in common, and it usually consists of them thinking about the other a lot--with spy taking into account about sniper's fascination about the stars, animals, and sniper considering spy's taste in clothing, fine dining--

so now you've got a sniper who ironically knows the best places for eatery, and a spy that knows the best spots for birdwatching or meteor showers.

did i mention clothing also plays a part of this?

they both pick out each other's outfits, and more or less, they bicker about their sense of fashion. spy is usually the one that starts the whole thing.

"You look filthy, bushman. Have you ever thought about a wardrobe change?"

"Piss off, won't ya? I don't want to hear that from Mr. Suit-and-Tie."

this doesn't stop them from wearing what the other had picked for them, though. and it plays off well, much to their surprise.

spy now gets the appeal of big clothes after sniper buys him casual clothes. as much as he detests outfits like these, sniper's picks are frustratingly comfortable. he wears it more often in his smoking room.

sniper would be lying if he said wearing a suit doesn't make him feel more professional. the price concerns him. spy tells him not to worry about it.

tl;dr two men getting conscious of each other's preferences and tries their darndest to make the other happy, what's new

> spy owns a kukri balisong! it reminded him of the bushman when he saw it. he gifts it to sniper in smissmas, eventually teaches him how to use it. he couldn't bring himself to backstab sniper after seeing him pull out the knife so ridiculously during an afternoon round.

> sniper's the type to compliment spontaneously. it just comes out of the blue, at any particular day and time; his mouth moves before he knows it, much to his delight (and spy's amusement). it's partly one of the reasons why he keeps quiet most of the time.

spy plays his words very carefully. thinks before he speaks; makes sure his words deliver the meaning he wants to convey, to get his point across. he goes all out in showering praises, though. the type to goad someone into smiling.

words fail the masked man whenever he's with sniper. and in mundy's case, he could easily find himself talking more when he's with spy.

> spy tends to be scatterbrained when he's relaxed. prim and proper? out of the window. sniper finds it endearing, albeit it being troublesome at times.

"Anytime now," Sniper chuckles. "You pickin' yourself up or am I gonna drag your arse off the floor?"

"If you would do the honours."

"Spies. Bloody useless."

Your art is soooooo good, i love the way you draw sniper and spy. Some of spy's faces looks funny. You are great keep it up 👍🏻

thank you very much! i still have a long way to go when it comes to drawing any of the mercs, honestly, and spy’s no exception. but i’m really glad to hear that y’all are liking these two as much as i do

[ludwiggle098]

The way you draw sniper is really amazing! Meanwhile, I'm in my cave, not able to have any capability of drawing him *cries in fangirl*

thank you! and please, don’t sell yourself short--you’ll be able to draw sniper in your very own way, that’s for sure. even i have problems sketching him at times. it takes tons of practice and patience, but you’ll get there!
