HE'S HERE!!!

[trypo-p]

throws my sniper headcanons at you (was originally gonna be art style practice but it also turned into sniper headcanons)

HEADCANON RAMBLING UNDER THE CUT

One of my biggest headcanons for Sniper is that he has chronic back pain. Not only because he's slouched over for his work all the time, but because his backstab wounds don't exactly go away after respawn. The pain still lingers, and respawn leaves him with a brand new scar. Some scars are lighter than others, while others are much deeper than others. He has a lot of trouble bending because of this, and often needs assistance from someone if he needs to grab something on the ground.

However, something he risks his back pain for is bug collecting. He'll grab a lil bugger off the ground, let it crawl on his arm and compliment how it looks, then put it back down safely and suffer the consequences (trying to get up for 3 minutes)

I also like to think he has his ears pierced. He knows soldier will make fun of him for that and having his hair long, but he doesn't wanna let those things go. Sniper was very into the hippie culture, not with the bright colours n tie-dye n all that shindig but he still rocks the camper life, mullets and earrings.

I think some extra things are that he's got tons of scars from, well, mostly Spy and his counterpart. He also smells like a wet dog, musty wood, tobacco, sweetgrass, sage and cedar. It's not a strong smell (he's gotta practically smell like nothing for being a bushman) but oddly enough for someone who looks that musty, he smells quite pleasant.

I have more headcanons if you guys wanna hear me yap more :P

TF2 ISSUE 7 SPOILERS //

Alright alright I know everyones going crazy over the ending of the comic (I am too) but I don't see this moment talked about enough and how beautifully done it is.

We start with the Administrator: The man who took everything from her is finally dead. She reigns victory. She is now living alone in peace, leaving flowers for each and every gravestone that was left before Zepheniah Mann's passing. The gravestones left before him are carved out beautifully, time and effort put into each and every one of them. The Administrator even lays out the roses so they look like they're grown out around the gravestones.

And here we have Zepheniah Mann's grave. A slab of rock with only his initials carved into it. The other gravestones are large, extravagant, and have their full names carved into them. Zepheniah's remains small; little thought put into it.

The gravestone wasn't even for him in the first place. It was for whichever of his son's died first, whichever one failed him. He himself didn't put much care into the gravestone, so why should he deserve anything better? In the end, he was treated the way he treated others. He was the failed son.

The Administrator leaves the stems of the roses out for him. She just places them there, no thought put into it seemingly. But there is SO much thought in this very moment. She had everything planned out from the very beginning.

Every day, she watched as the man grew older and older. She was there for his passing, and as far as we can tell, she caused his death. She leaves out roses for each and every grave, except for his. She leaves the stems. To her, he doesn't deserve the flower, he deserves the thorns. They aren't placed with care like the other flowers had been, they are simply put down. She gives him exactly what he deserves.

The atmosphere has suddenly lost that beautiful lighting and vibrant colours, the sky has become more gray and dreary. The Administrator is waking up more devastated, putting less time and effort into her daily life. The stems are turning brown, wilting under her eyes. She cares less. She seems relatively unaffected by the things around her. She gets stung by a bee, but doesn't seem to care. However that last panel says everything. She's growing tired of doing the same thing day in and day out. The cycle of depression is a tiring one. Soon enough you realize: is it even worth it? After all of this, after I finally got the one thing I wanted. But what now?

The scene is now almost completely devoid of colour. The weather is gloomy, and the Administrator looks like she has been bedridden for a while. She has taken the gravestone into her bedroom, now having to wake up to the reminder that he's dead and gone, she got what she wanted. But at what cost? There's nothing left to do anymore. She set herself out for one goal and one goal only her entire life. What was the point anymore?

There's so much to unpack in these panels, I doubt I've even scraped the surface of this. She's lost all emotion, the next few panels showing that she doesn't believe there's a point in living anymore. It's a terrifying thought, setting your entire life up to do one specific thing, getting that thing done, and then having nothing else left to live for. It's such a well-done portrayal of how depression can destroy you from the inside out.

Revenge is sweet, but it has a bitter aftertaste.

Things that TF2 Fanfictions need to do

Not make Soldier look like a complete villain in EVERY fic. I'm so tired of this.

Actually include Demoman

Give Heavy a personality outside of "I love this Doktor!"

Not completely baby Pyro. Pyro isn't a child. Sure they have childlike whimsy but they aren't an actual child.

Include Sniper into the "Scout needs a Dad" trope.

Make Engineer swear more

Give Sniper more of a personality outside of being a loner. Sure he is a loner but he can also be outgoing!

Oblivious Miss Pauling. Also not making her whole personality "girl boss" she's got personality too!!!

Bottom Heavy. Do I have to elaborate.

Awkward Top Scout. We know how things went with Zhanna.

Make Spy more disgusting. "He's fancy and a gentleman" he publicly pisses on walls too and this is canon.

Please make Spy more awkward. He seems smart but he really isn't the smartest. Have you heard ANY of the voice lines he says after dominating someone? They're goofy as hell and I love them

Medic having a personality outside of being gay. We know he's fruity but he's got a bit more to him than fruit.

Sniper is a nerd about his job. He has an apricot air freshener in his van + he makes the code word between him and Spy "apricot". We need more nerdy Sniper.

Hey I don't know who this "Ford" guy is I'm seeing all over Tumblr but I think he might have had a thing for that ttriangle. The bill.

I'll make more reference sheets eventually, I just need to actually make more OCs...
