Obligatory hop on tf2 inspired meme and general dicking around No making out on the point 😔 The eyes of Mann are (unwillingly) everywhere

Real tho this was supposed to be in a collection of memes but I drew this way back in like, june or august and then could not be assed to draw any of the others I had planned. Figured I could at leeaaast post this one after so long

[bluerthanthoumaybe]

The 7th and last Tf2 comic starts with a random rant about an immortal.

The comic ends with immortal people dying.

[renthewerecatboi]

this was meant to happen like forever ago, like, the comic had just come out when i planed to draw this

anyways it's here now so, woo, old people

i think the original caption was gonna be something about how these two somehow managed to have the most toxic yaoi despite not being yaoi at all

To Whom It May Concern,

I am Zephaniah Mann, proprietor of Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns and master of this Estate. In recent times, I have found myself with occasion—and indeed, inclination—to attend to correspondence of both personal and professional nature. Thus, I have established this venue for such exchanges.

Should you wish to address me directly on matters of business, inquiry, or simple discourse, I shall endeavor to respond as time and temperament permit. I have weathered decades in enterprise and am not easily shocked, though I reserve the right to ignore foolishness at my discretion.

Letters directed to my sons—Redmond, Blutarch, or Gray—shall be forwarded accordingly, though I cannot promise the quality of their replies. My associate, Miss Elizabeth, maintains the operations of this household with admirable efficiency and may respond to matters within her purview. Mr. Barnabus Hale, a longtime acquaintance of considerable energy, likewise frequents these halls and may see fit to answer correspondence addressed to him.

I expect civility in all exchanges, though I am not so delicate as to demand it. Write plainly. I have little patience for obsequiousness or excessive flattery—I am too old and too familiar with my own character to be swayed by either.

The Estate is open for correspondence.

Zephaniah Mann

There is a very long winded and stupid rant ahead that will make me sound like a chronically online dumbass, but I desperately need to get this off my chest.

(Spoilers for the 7th comic and some lengthy bullshit ahead)

So, why does it piss me off whenever people refer to Zephaniah Mann as the Administrator’s ex husband?

I know people usually say it in a joking context, but it really rubs me the wrong way. Let me explain

The writers went out of their way to portray Zephaniah as a monster. Even though we never truly know what happened, we know that he effectively ruined Helen’s life. To the point where she dedicated her life to destroying him

By the time of Zephaniah’s death, he was no longer the man who killed her parents. He became the pit in Helen’s stomach, the hatred she felt towards others, and the life she never got to live. Helen had lost the one man she dedicated her life to destroying, along with her only reason to live.

Once Helen learned about the regenerative qualities of australium, she was able to bring Zephaniah back. Along with this was a promise of another chance, and more time to torture him

This torment became Helen’s reason to live. She kept expanding her operation, involving more innocent people and furthering her path of distruction all hoping that someday she might be happy, but it was never enough

So why the hell do people call Zephaniah Helen’s ex husband? Was it because she raised his children? No. She planned to smother them in their sleep, plus she raised them to be incompetent. Was it because she was his housemaid? No. A heartless man who only cares about himself and the women who hates his guts don’t fall in love just because they’re in a house together

Once again I know people usually say this in a joking context, but I genuinely feel like it comes from a place of misogyny. Like the idea that a man and a woman HAVE TO be in love despite the obvious reasons they have to hate each other just gives me an ick that I can’t describe

Helen hated this man. She killed him, and then raised him from the dead just so she can torment him. The idea that love or romance or even sex would be involved just feels incredibly gross to me. Plus it seems so unfair to Helen as a character because it completely diminishes so much of her motivations. Turning a story of loss, depression, and addiction into “crazy woman cant get over her ex 🤪” just feels so weird and takes away from the actual message of the story

Also he fucking killed her parents lol

Alright yap sesh over. I know its not that serious and ofc y’all are allowed to have whatever headcannons you please, I just knew that I would only be able to stop thinking about it once I said something

A not as tidily-placed image wise yet vaguely accurate meme by me!

(Partly a response to @krookodiile’s meme)

Happy 10th anniversary, TF2 fandom!

Since its a national holiday and all that, I thought; "hey, since I've shown off a lot of other people's headcanons on this blog, why don't I share some of my own?!"

I know it not extravagant or anything, but I just thought it be a fun little thing to do for tf2's b-day.

Anyway, here are some headcanons!:

Spy - Bisexual and (basically canon) polyamorus

Heavy - bisexual

Medic - Achiliean transman

Scout - bisexual and in the closet about likening guys

Demoman - Pansexual demiman cuz he's in a relationship with his liver and, last time I checked, organs didn't really have any concept of gender. And demiman because puns.

Engine - biromantic demisexual

Pyro - non-binary pansexual

Sniper - demiromantic pansexual

Soldier - biromantic asexual who doesn't really mind sex and will do it if someone (aka, Zahanna!) wants him to.

Speaking of which...

Zahanna - Bisexual, but doesent know it herself due to compulsory heteronormativity

Zephaniah Mann - intersex. Basically canon since in his will he mentions contracting womb fever, and ya need a womb to get that so... (yes I know baboon uterus implants are a thing in the tf2 universe and this was probably played of more for questionably transphobic laughs but damn it! I CAN DREAM HAROLD!!!)

Gray Mann - bisexual

Olivia Mann - sapphic transgirl

Silas Mann/The HHH - gay and in love with Merasmus

Merasmus - agender and achiliean (refers to himself with he/him pronouns, mostly)

Bombinomicon - Omnisexual

cuz he's a haunted devil book who blows people's heads up with ghost magic, he can do what ever the damn hell he wants!!

I just made an lgbt headcanon about a talking book with a face, what the hell am I doing with my life?...

Happy 10th anniversary, Team Fortress 2 fandom! And have a happy Halloween! 💕✨🏳️‍🌈

Blutarch, Redmond, and Zephaniah Mann are all terribly angery after coming to the new world. I’m not too good at drawing in profile so I needed to practice it!!
