Man, I'm still reeling over the end of TF2 last comic and idk what to do with myself lol

This game means the world to me since I fell into its rabbit hole in 2011/12. I've met lots of people through this silly little game and it was the start of me falling in love with art and just creating things again

I'm so happy we got to see how everything is wrapped up and that last panel made me sob

Wriothesley character story and quest spoilers//

I'm having emotions over the wolf man

The fact that Wriosthesley started making his gauntlets at such a young age and out in the streets is making my heart ache. He had to use trial and error as well as picking up any skill or information that he could to improve on every iteration. I can't help imagine this poor baby spent many lonely nights working on them with feverish intent to stop his parents and save current and future children from their clutches.

And he most likely used them to kill his parents too when he returned back to that hell. Imagine the constitution and resolve he needed to end their lives with his own two mechanical fists.

I have an s6 Baizhi and you know what's tragic I realised about her kit

In her character stories, Baizhi was someone who doesn't make wishes but the only time she did, she wished her research team would wake up after a horrific incident during an expedition.

And an s5 Baizhi has the ability to revive teammates 😭😭😭

Scylla and Remus being the tragic previous incarnation of Neuvillette and Wriothesley is doing something to my brain

I might get some things wrong while im hc and speculating, so take it with a pinch of salt and correct me for innacurracies ajajsjdk

But Scylla working with Remus; one kingdom being in the depths of the sea and the other in overworld is such a neat parallel to the Fortress of Meropide and the Court of Fontaine. Though now, the dragon and the wolf has switched places. Scylla entrusts Remus with the goblet of Primodial Sea which is essentially the dragon sovereign of water's blood (heart of you wanna go there). Though later Remus betrayed that trust by hunting Scylla's subjects as well trying to replace all of the Sea with golden ichor.

Wriothesley's fortress guards one entrance to the primodial sea. While its not a goblet, I can't help but be a lil delulu how Neuvillette entrusts Wriothesley to watch over the gate that guards what is essentially his heart and blood.

A personal headcanon I have for Wriosthesley is that his gauntlets and his signature catalyst being a mechanical device aids him using his vision. Since vision theft is a thing in the fortress, he had to hide it and probably wasn't able to use his so by the time its safe for him to use it he would struggle quite a bit.

I like to think he has good mastery over it now but it's also a cute thought having him mirror Razor somewhat who needed to be taught how to use his electro vision.

Also while i don't see them as the reincarnation of the gods in question per se

But i find the thought of Alhaitham and Wriothesley being the reincarnation of the god kings Deshret and Remus respectively extremely funny. Especially, knowing their tragic ends

"Yeah, I fell into madness which may or may not be the cause of the fall of my kingdom but I feel better now."

Especially since both of them are so chill lmao

Just throwing a thought out there, there's a lot of allusions to fontaine already being sunk which got me thinking its like a giant veluyiram mirage, fontaine is "real" but not really real

Perhaps the indemnitium is collected for something akin to how the end of bottleland event with the shinrou casket

Just like the wishes, the oratrice collected the people's belief in justice over time to be used for something
