I hate the “pyro is secretly a woman” trope so much- it’s partially a projecting thing of my own gender being “fuck if I know, just not female”, but also it just feels like an excuse to have more boobs besides the ones belonging to ms Pauling and medic. It just feels shallow. Theyre already an intriguing character without slapping an hourglass body and long hair on them like I’ve seen in 90% of fem pyro depictions. I dunno, I’m honestly exhausted rn so this might just be incomprehensible word-vomit, and I just know someone will take this as me hating women (I don’t, I just think the trope sucks in this particular instance) so whatever.
Okay! We have talked about TF2-Medic-Tropes that we liked and known about.
BUT NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT MEDIC TROPES THAT WE DISLIKE! I'LL GO FIRST!
The Perverted/Creep Medic Trope... Yes, that is a thing! My young self was terrified when I read two fanfics that involved that trope! Fortunately, this Trope is rare and not popular! And I DON'T RECOMMEND THOSE FANFICS! The good thing is there are only two fanfics that have that trope.
Anyway!
How about you guys? Do you guys have Medic Tropes that you dislike for a good reason?
BACKSTORY: So! He is a clone of Red Medic. Since day one... he knew that he wasn't meant to be part of this never-ending war. For sake, when he stepped out to fight for the first time. He got blood on him, and he noped out! He went to Miss Pauling and quit right on the spot. He grabbed his stuff and doves. And moved to a different location to start a new life.
But when he moved into his new home... He felt like he wanted to believe it. Believe in something that isn't bloody. Something more peaceful. So, he started to do research about specific groups. And that's when he learned about Humanistic Judaism. It is about celebrating Jewish culture, heritage, history, celebrations, wisdom, and peoplehood.
This is what he needed. This is what he wanted. So, over the years, he started to convert to it. He was finally happy. He was finally free.
He also started to work as a librarian. He would share wisdom with others when he noticed they were losing hope and needed some comfort. He would also try to invite people to the Hanukkah parties that he would host.
Here is more information if you want to learn more about "Humanistic Judaism":
Contemporary Secular Judaism. Current State of Jewish Denominations. Jewish World Today. Contemporary Judaism. Jewish History and Community.
Also, thank you, @heavymedicshackerwife , for helping me out to learn about it.
The most Medic Trope that I related to! Is the "Always-Hungry-Medic Trope" (me all the time)! This Medic is always eating! Non-stop! There isn't a moment that he isn't eating! I love this guy! I always imagined him with a big and soft tummy! (Like Heavy and Engineer! Chunky) Unfortunately, this Trope isn't as popular as the others. And it's rare to find them!
I am thinking about the popular tropes about Medic in fanfics and mostly in art...
Is the work alcoholic one and the literal alcoholic one!
The work alcoholic one is the Medic, who never takes breaks, never eats, and sleep because their work matters more!
The alcoholic Medic... Doesn't really need an interdiction! It's a Medic who always drinks! And drinks more than their demoman. Always drunk! But somehow, they managed to complete their work with NO issues! Oh! I also noticed that they are always mad for reasons and for no reason. And their mood never changes when they get drunk as well.
So my question is just for fun!
What is the Medic trope that YOU noticed in fanfics or in art!
