Random Writing Idea ™️

character A and character B have a severe rivalry/hatred of each other. at some point, A says “if I die, it’s going to be with a knife through B’s chest”. later on, A and B are fighting, A stabs B straight in the chest- and then one of B’s teammates mortally wounds A before B fully dies, and pulls A off of B, and pulls out healing supplies just as A dies

complete and utter chaos, devastation, and horror as one character walks through it all slowly, with Clair de Lune playing the whole time

that is all

[welcome-to-ikea]

a shoulder angel who has completely given up on humanity and only still does their job so that they don’t get wiped out of existence or smthn

a shoulder demon who’s new to the job and thinks that humans are relatively good creatures that need convincing to do bad things and has absolutely no clue just how horrible people can be and are

and a poor teenager literally just trying to survive and exist while dealing with the bullshit of the other two

Part 3 :)

Countries/Areas

New France- Scout’s Ma, Scout’s siblings, Scout

Scotland- Demo’s parents, Demo, Soldier

Germany- Medic, Heavy, Heavy’s sisters, Engie, Pyro

New Zealand- Sniper, biological parents, adoptive parents

Other characters- Saxton, Maggie, Merasmus

Demo’s parents

Only run a few things even though they’re technically the king & queen

Very formal (except at meetings with other monarchs. They’re VERY straightforward with their opinions, especially Tilly-)

Demo

Technically prince but pretty much runs the country since his parents are blind

Unless he has something he needs or wants to do, he just kinda roam around. 90% of the time no one (except Solly) knows where he is

Likes to occasionally go down to the market in the town his castle’s in and just hang out and talk with people and vibe. He’s really chill

Speaking of markets, he finds a lot of things in “common life” interesting and really likes them (his parents disapprove greatly)

Know as the “People’s King” because he truly does enjoy hanging out with civilians and being more casual (parents also disapprove of this)

Calls most everybody by their first name and is cool if you do the same with him, he’s not super big on formalities

Knows the name and birthday of ever servant in the castle

Soldier

Demo’s bodyguard

Even if he isn’t actively with Demo, he somehow ALWAYS knows where he is. He does his job very well :)

Demo brings him on excursions into the town- not because he needs protection but because he wants to introduce Soldier to stuff

They’re besties fr fr

Absolutely wears a suit of armor 99% of the time

Has a spear that was messed up while being forged- it’s flatter and wider at the end (aka it looks like a shovel) and he only ever uses that ‘spear’

If you’re threatening Demo (and somehow he’s unable to deal with situation himself) you‘re not getting out of there alive

More royal medieval tf2 ramblings

Countries/Areas

New France- Scout’s Ma, Scout’s siblings, Scout, Spy

Scotland- Demo, Demo’s parents, Soldier

Germany- Medic, Heavy, Heavy’s sisters, Engie, Pyro

New Zealand- Sniper, biological parents, adoptive parents

Other characters- Saxton Hale, Maggie, Merasmus

Scout’s Ma

She’s the queen

Technically Scout’s oldest brother rules but she helps

Deals mostly with finance and foreign affairs

She may not run the country but she certainly runs the castle. She makes sure all the servants are doing what they’re supposed to without overworking themselves

Scout’s siblings

Again, the oldest one is the current king

Everyone else is a prince

All the other siblings have various high-ranking jobs and help the eldest (Scout’s the only one without a specific position)

Scout

Because he doesn’t have a set job, he just helps wherever and however he can

He may be last in line to the throne, but he’s learned to be fast enough to be first to everything else

He‘s the biggest mama’s boy you’ve ever seen. He helps her out all the time and loves her SO much. It’s great

He also helps the servants sometimes

Knows how navigate the entire castle from outside, using roofs and the tops of towers or just plain old running through the gardens

Occasionally just runs through the castle when he’s bored

Best fighter in his family (technically he’s tied with Spy but he doesn’t know that Spy’s family)

Spends a fair amount of time with Spy just from helping him, and actually thinks he’s pretty cool. Part of him sees Spy as a father figure, but the other part buries that feeling because he just KNOWS his real dad is alive somewhere (and doesn’t know it’s Spy) so he feels bad for seeing Spy as a dad

Spy

Technically the king- was king of Old France, when the Gray Nation invaded he was the primary target

Gray Mann still wants him so he’s gone underground, staying disguised and working as the Ambassador

As pathetic as always

Only Scout’s Ma knows it’s him

Scout was like. 2 when Gray Nation invaded and he had to go underground, so he never really got to know him that well. Now he spends a fair amount of time trying to learn more about Scout

Dumping about my royal medieval tf2 AU because I put way too much though into it. Imma do it in chunks, I’ll link each post when I make it

Countries/Areas

New France- Scout’s Ma, Scout’s siblings, Scout, Spy

Scotland- Demo, Demo’s parents, Soldier

Germany- Medic, Heavy, Heavy’s sisters, Engie, Pyro

New Zealand- Sniper, biological parents, adoptive parents

Other characters- Saxton Hale, Maggie, Merasmus

Everything takes place on either the main continent or one of the two mini-continents/huge islands.

The main continent is called the Red Continent, and it’s made up of France-Grise, New France, Scotland, Germany, New Zealand, and the Cursed Fields. The two side continents hold one country each, one is the Gray Nation and the other is Australia.

The Gray Nation is ruled by Gray Mann. While there is a substantial population, the military is entirely automatons. They’re quite well known and feared, although not indestructible.

France-Grise (also called Old France) used to be just France, and then the Gray Nation invaded. Everyone was evacuated safely, in no small part due to the French king’s help, and now France-Grise is an abandoned kingdom occupied by an army of automatons. Gray Mann hasn’t let citizens move into the new territory yet.

New France is exactly what it sounds like. This is where everyone from Old France went, it’s still building itself up. It’s ruled and maintained by the Marcois family.

Scotland is well known for the many demolition experts it’s produced (duh). It’s been ruled by the Degroot family for centuries.

Germany is…nobody knows what’s going on with Germany. It’s doing it’s own thing, but it’s having fun so everybody just kind of leaves it alone. There’s no royal family, a new monarch just kinda appears when the current one dies. No matter who’s in charge though, you don’t mess with Germany.

Australia is Australia. No further explanation necessary

New Zealand technically belongs to Australia, but is still independent in a lot of ways. It handles a lot of Australia’s relations with other countries. The monarch of Australia selects the monarch of New Zealand.

The Cursed Fields are exactly that. Everybody just leaves it alone and goes around it, except for the new annual fight (more details in the “other characters” post)

This is just fascinating - recreating famous living rooms with IKEA stuff. This is from the set of “Stranger Things.”

The Simpsons. Now, this is campy. 

And, of course, the iconic “Friends” living room.

Combination laundry/potting room. This lovely room was apparently achieved with ordinary IKEA shelving.
