I feel bad for constantly yapping about Pilot to my friends so I need to do it here
They’re very aware they’re a bad person and are aware that they take it too far all the time when it comes to insults/arguments even off duty. It’s not that they don’t care they just know they’re too far gone. They’re really mean to certain people (Spy mainly.) and they know it but they just brush it off.
Then they get pissed when someone treats them like shit back, they don’t understand why no one wants to drink with them so they smoke outside alone at like 11PM because they’re an asshole.
Like not even a fun asshole most of the time, they’re just mean and seemingly apathetic. They have bad/low empathy I think, it really depends . They make me so crazy
Their behavior can’t even entirely be excused by a shit childhood because it’s been decades they had plenty of time to change . Like their background is a reasoning but I don’t want it to be an excuse
I knowwww tf2 is inherently comedic and ofc they’d be treated that way in most of the media 😭 but I def think in like the comics or sfm’s it’s something you could absolutely pick up on .I don’t know I don’t know !!!
They come from a household with such prissy perfect expectations so it’s like. A caged dog trained terribly being set free, they’re so self destructive but that’s ALL they know they’ll be your best friend your guard dog or they’ll slowly pick at your psyche
I will write a fic on them soon I promise gauhhh
