I know we’re on spoiler lock down and you can respond at your pace but OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT IVE EVER GOTTEN! HOW IS THIS GOING TO EFFECT YOUR TAKING SHOTS CANON? ARE YOU GOING TO BE WRITING OTHER FICS IN LINE WITH THE FINALE CANON NOW???? Oh my god HOW ARE YOU FEELING?????

yeah i know right! this does mean i’m going to need to go back and edit taking shots a bit to be more canon-compliant, here’s some of my initial notes on it:

fixing scout’s last name to reflect “willis”.

fixing spy’s first and last name to reflect “eugene hinkle”.

adjusting to make room in dialogue for scout being definitively a brunette, as we saw near the end.

a few tweaks to better fill in the implications the comics seem to have for how the respawn system works.

in the same shot we saw the photo of scout and his mom, opposite that we see a picture that i believe is of scout and a doggy—i’ll need to add that into the story somewhere, maybe from his brothers telling a story or something similar.

already word on the street is that some of his kids seem close enough in age to probably be twins, which actually does imply that it’s likely some of his brothers are twins! this is good, but i should really lean in more—maybe more of his nieces are twins?

”willis” is an english name, so i’ll need to slightly adjust some backstory to make them english-catholic or perhaps protestant, not irish-catholic.

obviously i’ll need to adjust to include the address of the house and a better approximate location, as well as adjust all timings mentioned to account for the correct distance and travel times.

scout seems to be big on rushing into marriages, so i’ll most likely need to rework the fic slightly to include a proposal within the first chapter or two.

since sniper knows how to fly a plane, it makes sense that they would probably just fly to boston rather than road-tripping, which means i’ll need to edit out most instances of driving that sniper does.

obviously, spy hadn’t come clean about being scout’s father, so i imagine that he probably never will, and instead that entire storyline will pivot, instead being about something else, perhaps that spy wants to romance and marry his ma, who he met some five or six years previously.

since there is apparently some kind of indoor public pool in the area they live in, all scenes outside of the home will be moved to take place in that pool.

it seems like sniper’s reaction to scout’s rambling to miss pauling about his courting would imply he is aware of scout’s crush, so the story and dialogue will be altered to instead have sniper suggest they be a throuple of some kind. this will lead to complications in which Benny and Terry are irritated that they’re being copied so blatantly.

speaking of which, scout gave two of his kids names that start with “t”, which to me implies they perhaps have some kind of naming convention in their family involving repeating first consonants. to reflect this, some of scout’s brothers will be renamed, meaning his brothers (oldest to youngest) will be named Jack, Jenry, Jarcher (Jarchie for short), Jolin, Jenjamin and Jerrence (Jenny and Jerry for short), and Jony.

while going over these changes, i realized that i’d completely forgotten to account for spy’s cyanide tooth, and written a moment where he’s gritting his teeth. unfortunately, that means that in my rewrite, spy will need to die during that scene when the cyanide tooth most certainly pops mistakenly. this will be inconvenient, but a gifted writer knows how to play with the cards dealt.

since unfortunately we now know that scout is terrible at marriage, i will most likely need to write a scene where scout finds out he is pregnant and sniper immediately leaves him. i find this difficult because i’m unsure how sniper will be able to get into a plane quickly enough to escape in the pre-established suburb, but i will make do.

i will have to kill scout’s mom.

oh and happy belated birthday!

#shut up me #everybody talks #tf2 #team fortress 2 #sniperscout #speeding bullet #running blind #to actually answer your question yeah i’m probably going to write some shorter stuff in the post-canon at some point #my shit has been tagged canon divergent or non compliant this whole time

Ok but if there was any possible way I could use sfm right now I would have been working on a full movie of running blind (I’ve read/listened to running blind more than 10 times now 😭)

I know Sniper looks a bit like a horse but I was too lazy to fix his eyes...

Im not really a fan of Speeding Bullet. But Running Blind is still my favourite tf2 fic. And I think it is objectively the best Scout ship. And I reblog most fanart I see of it. Truly a conundrum.

#tf2 #the second best is flashfire hopscotch or micenmen #and shout out to batting helmet i personally think its funny #texas two step is. ok #not too fond of the obvious age gap with little prick but at the end of the day theyre both consenting adults so #and the forbidden ship is. well. forbidden #scout x scout is kind of hot the way underfell sans kissing regular sans is hot #so ???#these are just opinions dont bash pls #i bounce headcanons and ships around my mind like a dvd screensaver #so if you interpet ships/dynamics different then thats cool 👍#unless its the forbidden ship in which case screw off and ask yourself why this appeals to you #team fortress 2 #tf2 ships #tf2 scout #tf2 sniper #running blind #speeding bullet #also my second favourite fic is probably the speedingbullet time loop one thats ongoing #gah

So I started reading he is brutal the snipersscout speedingbullet fanfic because I finished Running blind and taking shots. (Waiting for the next chapter)

And like I’m not even at the first chapter proper I’m at the prologue and I’m kicking my feet giggling. The descriptions of thrones and setting is so well done guys go read it

edit; OH BTW GO FOLLOW @sweetcookie500 THEY WROTE THE FIC

Summary: Scout's eyes are badly damaged in battle and for some reason, Medic's gun can't fix him. Until they figure out how to heal Scout, he needs someone to look after him and keep him safe. Sniper is given the job.

Author: @thetriggeredhappy

Note from submitter: Obviously it's sniperscout so don't read of you dislike that. Can be graphic but nothing to terrible and generally deals with mental health issues. The author is cool as hell and the best ever. Also if you like this one they are currently working on a sequel about scout's family drama during the Holidays
