Unstableplague - Mercury

me minding my own business peacefully:

my brain: hey remember those essays you wrote and submitted for writing courses in middle and early high school about how schools are designed to strip children of their creativity and desires, actively lying saying they work to help children explore their passions while punishing them for not being able to conform and how exhausting it is and how it plays a major factor in why the upcoming generations are so demotivated towards life

me: æ

y’all think in the route of saving shadowheart’s family, dark urge feels more inclined to persuade Shadowheart to save them because of their own guilt and trauma regarding how Bhaal forced them to kill their adoptive families?

As a community we need to come up w sillier ways for noir to interact w modern technology. Like being banned from driving in other universes after whipping a car around so fast they went off road. 4 dead 83 injured (he doesn’t know what powered steering is)

i’ve talked to people about this exact thing before, but what i normally bring up when people go “medic hates his team and wants to kill/torture all of them” is he literally took time and resources out of his day at HIS detriment for no reward to revive sniper. and despite this, i’ve seen people write medic as torturing his own team in genuinely horrific ways and not the funny cartoon ways that tf2 likes to treat things. oh yeah this also usually is comorbid with “medic is a nazi” and we already had a whole ass situation with our blog on that topic -🚙

EXACTLY !!! I have my own post abt this that I miiiight go try to dig up but it basically boils down to the fact that all the experiments Medic does on his teammates are directly positive or at least neutral. He put the baboon heart into Heavy (and everyone else) so he would be able to withstand the ubercharge, which is extremely beneficial in battle. He revived Sniper for 1.3 billion dollars because he LIKES Sniper, because he WANTED to revive him, even while he was technically working for the tfc team who pretty explicitly DIDN'T want him to revive Sniper! And he did it anyway! The canon explanation for Monoculus is that Medic kept surgically giving Demo a second eye, a thing that Demo WANTS, even though it repeatedly ended pretty badly for them (yeah there's the brain-scooping thing but like. whatever. has to be done). In that scene he says he put a little brain inside Demo's leg, which might not be something directly positive but is at least harmless in its weirdness. I cannot think of one time in canon where Medic tf2 is shown maliciously experimenting on his teammates (he does it on other people but like of course he does) intending for it to be harmful to them. Because believe it or not he does, in fact, have friends whom he likes. The whole point of him actually is that he's SUPER useful to have "on your side" BECAUSE he's so potentially violent, but once ur like. cool with him he's not gonna do any of that to you! (Or if he does it'll be to make you really good at something)

I'm sick of how people write medic. I've been reading alot of tf2 fics lately and I never like how he's written. He's aways an all business, married to his job, paper pusher with a screw loose. Like honey a screw loose? The screws are gone!!! He's a maniac! He's not a no nonsense paper pusher, he's a mad scientist who loves his job!! He's a giggly bitch! He's plays plays the squeez box! He loves dancing! He's a loving father of Pidgins! He put a man's soul in a jack o lantern for shits and giggles! He stole a whole ass skeleton out of a living patient! He lives in an abandoned hospital! He isn't a all business no fun weirdo he's clinically insane and a silly guy with recorces to fule his experiments!

something something the poetry of science etc
