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!

A tribute to Demo

Over time Demo has become one of my favourite characters in this whole series. It’s very sad that he gets so little attention (from both the comic team and the fans it seems). That’s why I decided to make a small appreciation post about what I like about him.

Let’s start with chapter 1: Gray Mann took over Mann Co. and fired all mercs. Most of them went into hiding or just moved on with their lives: Scout: Helped Soldier and then wanted to get his money from the bank before vanishing. Ended up in prison though. Soldier: Was kicked out of his castle and then started working as a tourist guide. Pyro: Apparently became the CEO of a freaking engineering company?? Heavy: Returned to his family in Siberia. Engie: Disappeared and took care of the Administrator. Medic: Started working for a different team. Sniper: Went back home to Australia and then started looking for his birth parents. Spy: Wanted to go underground for a while. Ended up in prison with Scout unfortunately.

But what does Demo do? Nothing. He is depressed and unable to move on with his life. This job was everything to him.

He seems to drink even more than usual and completely lets himself go, not caring for anything.

And now look at him when Miss Pauling is giving him his job back.

Look at his face: He is so genuinely happy and blissful when he is offered to join the gang again. Totally changed from one second to the next! :D

Another thing to notice about Demo is that he doesn’t bear grudges against his friends, no matter how shitty they may treat him.

Sniper knocks him out and then wants to throw him into a shallow grave!

But who is the one who supports Sniper after he got shot by the TFC mercs? Demo.

In Chapter 6 Medic joins his old comrades in battle again.

Medic betrayed the team and got Sniper killed, but he brought him back to life later - and that’s all that matters to Demo. He also doesn’t really mind Medic cutting pieces of his brain out.

(Don’t forget, he also immediately forgave his liver for leaving him. DemoxLiver = OTP lol)

Look how happy and enthused he is to be back in action and to blow things up. This guy loves his work!

Look how happy he is to be reunited with his team. This guy loves his friends!

He is the only one of the mercs who visibly cares for the others and is happy to work with them. And that’s why I love him. :)

Really now, he already felt enough like an outcast due to his singular eye and mixed heritage (let alone learning recently of his haunted eye socket and missing parts of his own brain). Having a SECOND brain when man’s suppose to only have one is going too far. Sure, he let his team’s doctor get away with a lot of stuff on the group but this is something he won’t stand for if he has a say in it. It’s HIS body, damn it!

Though anything would be grand at this point. Having to explain that his leg literally has a mind of its own every time somebody questions why he kicks himself is tiring. Just make it cooperate.

HEADCANON #002

As of Comic #6 “The Naked and the Dead”, we learned that sometime recently (maybe a year or so ago) Medic has removed a section of Tavish’s brain to make him forget about asking him for help with his missing eye problem and the stuff that has happened when he has done so (including the fact that his eye socket is indeed haunted). An unfortunate side effect to this action is that whenever Demo specifically tries to remember any of these events or just tries to remember something too hard, his brain sorta fries as that part of his mind is missing and gives himself temporary amnesia. Luckily he’s ok within a day or so.

But basically he’s just:
