Medic yelling “I love you Heavy!” during a match of Dustbowl 😳
(From Downes’s signing stream day 1)
"What if the tf2 men used modern slang" lame. You're all too afraid to learn period-accurate 60s/70s slang. You don't want Sniper tf2 to call things "groovy" and "far out" because you are a coward
Could I perhaps get engineer, sniper and demoman with an autistic S/O who got really overstimulated and Is Not Okay? I need,,, for purposes.
Yes, yes you can!!!
Demo, Engineer, and Sniper with an overstimulated autistic S/O:
Demo:
Demo recognizes that his S/O is overstimulated pretty quickly. The base is always messy regardless of any attempts to clean it, there’s a lot of noise, especially chatter and gunfire during the day and even moreso at night during complaining or celebrating with the entire team.
“Ye alright? Ach, who am I kidding, ye look right terrible at the moment, love. No offense.”
He takes his S/O to somewhere quieter, probably his room as there’s at least some sense of familiarity and homeliness there for he and his S/O.
As someone who needs quiet to focus on tinkering without blowing something up, he’s got some ways of keeping the room from just being the equivalent of another hallway thanks to the paper thin walls.
If it still doesn’t help, he sticks by his S/O’s side and refuses to move away for the others until they’re able to process things more clearly again.
If they’re stimming to try and release the tension and overwhelming energy of the situation, he’ll literally just start mirroring them and stimming as well.
If they need something to focus on that isn’t their surroundings, he’s got a large amount of folklore and myths he can talk for hours about instead of whatever jabbering caused them to be overwhelmed in the first place.
Engineer:
Once he figures out what’s going on, he quickly tries to diffuse things and get his S/O to a place where they feel more comfortable.
Engineer commands a lot of respect, and most of the mercs know not to challenge him when he puts on a genuine serious face and asks for things to be done.
Quiet down, hush now fellas, can one of ya’ll get S/O a blanket? Hm? Yeah, they said somethin’ to hold would do.
Does his best to balance their current needs with social interaction; since he’s aware that taking them out of it entirely might cause them to break down further.
Instead, he lassos in the conversation and quiets things down as much as possible, then reduces the amount of stimuli by sending a glare to anyone making more noise than necessary.
As for sensations, he’ll hold his S/O’s hand if it helps, usually with his normal hand unless they prefer the feeling of metal, wiring, and electric circuitry to focus on. Warm or cold, his hand envelops theirs and acts as an anchor.
If anyone dares pipe up about it or anything else related to the situation, he’ll keep his cool. That is, until next time they need his help on the battlefield.
Sniper:
While he doesn’t necessarily understand a lot about it, Sniper is still very familiar with needing and wanting his space, where things are just how he wants them. Regardless of if he consciously realizes it or not, he might actually be the best person to go to about it when his S/O is having a rough time and is overstimulated.
At first, he’ll probably try things that help him calm down, but if a lukewarm cup of coffee and a polishing kit don’t assist—or taking a hike into the nearest area empty of people—then he’ll start quietly asking questions while internally panicking.
He doesn’t want to overwhelm his S/O further, but he also wants to fix or make the situation a bit better for them. Afraid that he’ll make it worse, he kind of ends up awkwardly throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks.
Whatever ends up appearing to work first is what he doubles down on, before trying to branch out from there. If his S/O manages to calm down a little, he thinks, then they can help him help them a little more too.
It’s a very slow but sure process, and he gets there eventually. By the time he figures out what works, it’s probably far past when they were too overstimulated to function. After that point he’ll know what to do and is much quicker and more confident about lending a helping hand.
If they’re getting overstimulated and it’s just the two of them, he’ll do his weird too-long-legs thing and hug them to him in a way where they’re closed off and safe in his arms. He’ll end up a bit flustered about it later, but they calm down a lot more quickly that way since he’s able to just shut them off and ground their brain to the hug instead of what’s bothering them. It’s not foolproof, but it’s shocking how often it works.
This was a lot of fun to write! I hope I got this right and did well with the prompt, haha. Personally going with what would be nice when I’m overstimulated, though I don’t believe I’ve shut down fully because of it. That must suck a lot when it happens :(
The last one about Sniper is a personal tidbit I think would work really well on me, because I imagine what he does is like a really comfortable tight hug where noises are kinda shut out and the pressure would kinda keep you from moving y’know?
It’s like the ultimate “calm the FU—“ move and I love it but it also looks like it’d be really comfortable ;—;
There's a running joke in my friend group that the Russian word for a genius ("гений") is somewhat similar to the Russian word for a homosexual man ("гей"). This isn't a particularly striking similarity, certainly not one noticed by a majority of Russian people, and it wouldn't translate well into the English language, but since I, too, am allowed to sometimes project my personal experience onto the TF2 men without any regard for linguistic accuracy, I present to you the following.
Medic: ...and that's how I brought him back to life AND preserved all three of his kidneys! Amazing, isn't it?
Heavy, nodding: You are gay.
Very sorry if this is offensive, genuinely, but isn't Being Drunk one of Demo's only character traits?
Is it a racist stereotype? And if so, to which part of his heritage?
Having an addiction is not a personality trait. It's not a character flaw either. The problem here isn't someone being offensive or engaging in perpetuating a stereotype, it is the fact that you see someone with a drinking problem and think "this defines them as a person".
Can you write how spy, demo, medic are when they are jealous? (Separate) (tf2 gender neutral s/o fluff)
I think you sent in the request twice, I do tend to see asks though I saw one in there I almost definitely missed—either way; if it was you please don’t try and send in duplicate requests to get them filled! Not mad, just letting people know for future reference. ^^
To be fair, I just noticed that the other one asked for all support classes! So once again, sorry if it was just a case of two people sending in similar asks.
Demo, Medic, and Spy when Jealous:
Demo:
Demo honestly isn’t a jealous person in general!
He’s pretty chill and understanding, not to mention incredibly loyal to friends, family, and a possible S/O.
However, if he’s got a mad headache, or if he’s sick or unwell, he’ll definitely unknowingly become jealous if his S/O is taking care of anyone else.
His S/O is absolutely taking great care of him while he’s sick, but the second they start talking to somebody else, assuming he’s sick enough to be out of it, would assume he’s been forgotten.
It’s mostly a silly thing, though. He doesn’t get mad, he just grumbles a bit at whoever is taking the attention of his S/O away from him.
(This is also because he’s like a cat, and his S/O has been petting his hair for a good while, but don’t tell that to anyone else.)
Medic:
If Medic is jealous, he hardly ever realizes it. He’s always a bit too hung up on his experiments, thoughts and ideas to really entertain the idea of his feelings getting mixed up.
Surely he’d notice them, but would probably chalk it up to being tired or overworked. He’ll do his best to spend more time with his S/O during times like these.
He’ll find he’s not enjoying himself if they’re at a bar or anywhere social where his S/O is actively interacting with too many people.
Not because he’s angry that they’re enjoying themselves; but because he begins to think that he’s not doing enough.
Seeing as he’s often in his office or in the infirmary performing surgeries, he admits to himself that he probably doesn’t spend as much time with his S/O as he ought to. They’re fully within their right to want to be with other people.
He doesn’t assume they want to leave him behind, though. It’s more of a self reflection moment. The more attention he gives his S/O, the more he’ll receive in return.
Other folks finally end up noticing Medic when he puts his head over their shoulder with a sharp grin, swinging over to their side of the conversation. A clear reminder that they’re taken, and a few of the ones that initially appeared to not have bad intent back off.
The rest of the night is spent with the real new friends.
Spy:
Now spy? He’s smart. He has reason. But the second he begins to doubt that his S/O has faith in him or notices that they’re enjoying the presence of somebody other than him, all reason drops out of the window.
His mind goes into overdrive. Scouring his memories for every single mention of things they like or love most. Drop money on something cool or expensive. Buy a bouquet of flowers. Arrange a fancy dinner or a date.
If he ever suspects somebody to be trying to take his S/O away from him, (and yes, he does trust his S/O and knows that they love him, he’s just dramatic), then he becomes extremely open and dramatic in PDA.
Subtlety is the way of the Spy, and Spy is not subtle at all.
Bring them into a slow dance, bring them into a kiss, keep their arms interlocked, say something romantic in French, anything he knows they’re okay with.
It’s a way of showing himself and others that this person is undoubtedly his. He knows it’s ridiculous, but as somebody with trust issues, it’s his one way of proving to himself and his S/O that his trust runs deeply enough to do something like that.
His S/O may not have the same issues with trusting other people as he does, but they should understand that his displays of affection are a way of confirming that yes, this is real, no, he isn’t lying about any of this, and nothing could come between them.
This one didn’t quite turn out the way I was expecting, so hopefully this fits the prompt well enough! I honestly just think trust is a big factor in relationships. :]
how would the mercs react to someone they know really well (like family) coming out to them as genderfluid?? ur writing is 😔👌 btw
Thank you so much! I hope I wrote this well, if you’d like me to make a change or two let me know!
For simplicities sake, I’m going to go with close friend that they’d consider family, knowing each other that well.
Also, the pov changes halfway through and I don’t feel like rewording it; I’ve realized I like doing second person a lot so I hope that’s alright!!!
Scout:
“You drink gender???”
Jokes aside, Scout may have a bit of trouble wrapping his head around it at first. For him, it makes a lot of sense, but it’s a change that takes time for him to adjust to since he has a habit of speaking before he thinks.
Still, Scout always makes sure to ask their pronouns whenever they show up, and is unabashedly loud and proud whenever gender comes up in conversation.
He constantly makes positive comments that reaffirm whatever they choose to go by for the moment. It can get a bit overbearing at times, but he means well.
Soldier:
Immediately picks them up and swings them in a circle while hugging them. “AFFIRMATIVE! That you are, and I LOVE you for it!”
Probably the loudest about it, but if they aren’t out yet to certain people, he’s surprisingly loyal and will make a vow of silence if it means not outing them if they don’t want to be outed.
However, if someone tries to pick a fight? It’s on. Soldier will send them flying into orbit for the people closest to him.
Incredibly supportive, proud, and energetic about it.
Pyro:
Pyro completely understands from the get-go, even if they can’t say it through the mask.
To show they care, they immediately envelop their friend in a hug and shower them with love and acceptance.
They use crayons to draw their close friend, give them gifts and flowers, and overall do their best to show they care.
Will show up with a fire axe if anyone tries to purposefully misgender their friend or try to instigate a fight. They’re yelling muffled insults at whoever dared try and fight their best friend.
Demo:
Gives his friend a clap on the back, with a huge smile on his face.
“Took ye long enough!”
He always suspected, but didn’t want to ask out of fear of scaring them into deciding to come out too early, or making them uncomfortable.
Obviously, “took you long enough” is a lighthearted joke, and he’s fully willing to support his friend—practically a sibling—until the very end.
Always asks what they’re going by today before he ever uses pronouns, and sticks to them from the get-go. If he ever does make a mistake, he immediately corrects it and moves on without making a scene, as much as he breaks over it later out of embarrassment.
Overall, probably the best one to come out to first. He’ll provide a shoulder to lean on when they’re sad or unsure, maybe even insecure; but will always step forwards in defense of them whenever possible. He knows not to cause a scene unless they’re truly upset over someone misgendering or teasing them so as not to upset them even more. He will, however, exhibit a cold anger not commonly seen in someone with such a warm and friendly demeanor when it does happen.
If he can cause a scene over it, you bet there’s going to be fireworks.
More beneath the cut:
Engineer:
Wholly accepting of this! Does a similar thing to Pyro where he just wraps his arms around his friend and hugs them tightly; although in a much warmer and softer manner.
Wipes a tear from his eye.
“Proud o’ ya, real proud…”
He’s humbled by the fact that they came out to him first. Plans a barbecue as a celebration, maybe even buys a few gifts! It’s a huge deal to him that somebody so close to him came out like that, and he’s going to make sure everybody else feels the same way too.
He has a metal arm. If somebody fucks with them, he will not hesitate.
Heavy:
Heavy is perceptive. He picks up on it immediately, but like demo doesn’t ask out of respect.
He immediately socks someone in the jaw if they purposefully use the wrong pronouns, or make an offensive joke about his friend.
If it’s an uncomfortable comment or joke, he exhibits the same caliber of cold anger, but to an extreme. Seeing as he’s like a personal bodyguard in terms of intimidation factor alone, him hovering behind you with a stormy expression is enough to scare most people off.
Is always open to talk to them, and is a great listener. He’s great at offering an interesting subject or topic, maybe a book and tea if they need a distraction from dysphoria or somebody getting to them.
Rather serious about it, Heavy won’t tend to make light hearted jokes about the topic of gender, instead taking a very open but grounded approach to it.
“It does not exist. Is too narrow. Little person can use whatever works best.”
Medic:
“Ah! Let me add that to your file… I assume no surgery, then?”
He’s not disappointed by the prospect of not being able to trans your gender, but also gets to work on other ways of affirming your own!
Doesn’t really treat you any differently, but will work on an experiment to let you change your appearance based on what makes you feel best in the background.
Gives you the option of using it, but lets the topic go otherwise unless something is wrong or if you bring it up; regardless of if he’s giddy to know if it works or not.
Very chill about this stuff. He’s probably one to the better/best people to talk to about it, but know that he also won’t provide much comfort as much as he will facts or potential solutions.
In fact, he almost comes across as distant until he suddenly drops a shockingly down to earth suggestion or a really, really good idea to help you out. Nothing too crazy, it’s almost uncanny.
Thing is, he’s just been dealing with gender problems for… His entire life? He’s already far enough along in his own that he’s perfected his methods of staving it off.
Even if you’re not feeling dysphoria, (or you are), it doesn’t matter to him as long as you can get through it safely.
Sniper:
It takes Sniper a little bit to get used to it, to be sure. It’s not that he doesn’t care, he’s just not used to dealing with the unexpected.
He feels guilty for it being unexpected to him. He sees you as somebody very, very close to him; he feels dense for not noticing it sooner.
As soon as he settles into it, though, expect him to be as loyal as a dog. Any mistakes he silently corrects, and if somebody gets in their way, they’ll be meeting a jar of piss to the face.
Honestly, Sniper probably begins to have some of his own self realizations soon after, but it takes a long time for him to come to terms with that one.
Ends up shyly asking you for advice eventually.
Spy:
He already knew. I mean, what did you expect?
He is, however, surprised that you decided to come out to him first. If anything, he’s a bit prideful.
Emotions masked well, he pours the two of you a drink (whichever is your favorite) in a fancy wine glass, and raises his own, offering cheers for the occasion.
Clink!
Definitely calm about it, but tones down his snark temporarily. He knows how nerve-wracking it must be; although there is humor to be found that you voluntarily told your secret to the man who knows just about everything about everyone. Whether or not that trust is misguided, he can’t exactly say.
If you aren’t out to the others yet, or anybody else for that matter, the secret is safe with him. There’s no doubt that Spy is the best with pronouns, seamlessly switching between preferences depending on whether you’re in a safe space or not.
It’s also the easiest way to know if you’re really, truly safe as well; because his heightened awareness of his surroundings means that he can tell if he might out you even when it seems like the coast is clear.
Even if you don’t care about being out to anybody, Spy makes sure to subtly ask if he’s good to use your pronouns in any given situation outside of what you may be accustomed to. He doesn’t slip up once. Not once. Literally never—
The Spy may be stinky, but words are his forte. He can curse you out in 12 different languages including French but you know damn well he’ll use the right pronouns while doing so!
Phew, this one took a while. I hope I did alright on this one! I apologize if there’s any glaring issues or mistakes in this one, I worked on it over the course of what, a few months?—with lots of breaks in-between.
Thank you to everyone for being so patient! I hope to put out more content sometime in the future, but I know that I’ll likely be slowing down like this as I deal with life stuff and other hyperfixations.
I might make another post with other hyperfixations that I might be up to making headcanons for! Feel free to request those too! :D
Guess who got a bunch of 15ai lines for this interaction… 👀 I just don’t know if I can animate it or not.
True love 💖
Seems the old true love post is gaining some traction again, oddly enough! I know I said I wouldn’t give context but…
Well, I remembered the finished products.
A project idea from me and friends that’s pretty under wraps right now since we’re not sure if we’ll go through with it or not (time, hyperfixations, etc.) but the general context for these in particular:
The Fault Fortress team is a team of self aware single player bots based on a glitch that a friend of mine caught on tape, within the video was a lot of incredible things to work off of; such as how spy and scout (the player) took opposite routes to investigate the same goal, blue base, yet the people inside were nowhere to be found.
I’m telling you all this because that’s the most rooted in fact thing we have about it, however the context behind the IMAGES:
BLU spy joins the gang as well as RED Engie, one before the other. When the team of self aware bots are running from vac between worlds, they find a place to shelter in— a cold, snowy and desolate area with a barely insulated wooden shack. But it’s unreachable by vac, so they rest there.
Of course, both are cold and the others already have their own setups.
And so, begrudgingly, they both end up going to the same corner bc they’re COLD and Engie is WARM
Anyways I think since Spy is taller than Engie he has trouble figuring out where to put his legs so he just ends up straddling him lol
I made a Miss Pauling refsheet!
Tired of searching “Miss pauling” on your favorite website as a reference, only to question your faith in humanity and debate turning on safe search for future endeavors? Me too!
I made a bonus picture to go along with this, which will be posted after since I’m very proud of how it turned out. Please don’t crop, repost, or otherwise tamper with the image below! This is purely made for reference purposes for artwork and the like!
*A poses gently*
Hope this helps!

why is getting a stalker for just being a kid in a fanbase such a universal experience w so many artists that I know….it’s extremely sad (I say this as someone who had this happen to me in an unbelievably horrific way btw. It’s more common than you’d think)
The european citizens initiative for unconditional basic income is running out june 25th and so far only has 245.092 out of 1 million required signatures with only 3 countries out of 7 required meeting their goal.

heres the link
i know this is usually just a lighthearted tf2 blog with some personal rambles but goddamn it i hadnt even heard about this until like an hour ago so i just want to share this, this would be huge.
524 Not assigned or no longer used
Well that’s oddly specific and not at all ominous or terrifying! What happened to 524??? What calamity occurred to remove it from the Dewey Decimal Classification List???
The last three digits of your current follower count is the Dewey Decimal Classification subject on which you must immediately give a 15-minute presentation.
How would you do?
This is admittedly a very selfish post, as I’ve made various teams of various different colors
👀 signal boosting his blog over here… If there’s any interest in talking to mr. Calhoun?
Of course, now everyone’s sending me emails about not being able to properly… Email… How does that even work?!
I can’t answer their questions and they shouldn’t even be able to to send em in! What kinda weird unfair bull—what kinda weird unfair shenanigans are going on?
ignore this if you've gotten an ask like this before but what do you think the mercs love languages are?
Ah yes, the act of human love. Something I am both terrible at and perfectly unqualified to talk about. What better reason to make a long post?
TF2 mercs showing their love, let's go!
Scout:
Shares food with them. Not just any food, no, it has to be good. His favorite, even. Usually he has quite selfish eating habits - comes naturally from growing up with so many older siblings - but if he really loves someone, he'll share.
Slows down. He's a very enthusiastic man, always full of energy, always up to something. But at the sight of someone he loves he just... stops. Like his entire headspace is instantly filled with just them and nothing else.
Ruffles their hair. It might sound weird, but that's what his mom used to do when he was little - run a hand through his hair as a gesture of love and care. He doesn't do it consciously himself, doesn't even realize he picked up the habit.
Walks kinda backwards when they're walking together. Always wants to look at their face. Ends up bumping into people. Doesn't care.
Introduces them to his favorite videogames. Shows them the ropes, cheers loudly when they win. Still kicks their ass in PvP though.
Soldier:
Listens to them. Hes usually loud as all hells, it's hard to get through to him. It comes from the kind of habitual aggressiveness that starts as a defense mechanism and develops into a full-blown personality, but it works because he rarely ever feels safe. It's only with the people he loves that he drops it completely.
Shows them everything he thinks is cool. A weird rock. A flock of birds in the sky. A piece of cardboard he bets would be really tasty. A shoelace. Just... shinies. Something that makes his world brighter.
Loudly announces their name when they enter a room full of people. Talks about them and how great and awesome they are. Wants everyone to agree.
Makes medals for them. Gifts them his war trophies. Dedicates his victories to them.
Puts his helmet on their head. This is the only piece of armor he wears, and it keeps him safe. He wants the people he loves safe as well.
Pyro:
Draws them. Has a whole sketchbook dedicated to just them. Ironically, he doesn't care for appearances much, but the way he draws - colorful and emotional, linear and dynamic, or soft and caring - is about the heart, not the shell.
Crafts for them. For everyone, but for them especially. Matching bracelets, matching rings, matching pendants... He feels lonely sometimes, when he knows he shouldn't, and he'd never make it someone else's problem to deal with, so he combats the fear of abandonment by keeping his loved ones close through things. It's like a bond. A physical object that locks them together.
Hugs them. Excitedly, arms over the shoulders, and kind of... uh, what do you call it... tucks (?) their head to his chest. People hug that way after a long time apart, but for him even a day feels like an eternity.
Rests his head on them. Their shoulders, chest, stomach, knees - everything goes. That said, he himself doesn't mind being a pillow either.
Gives them candles. Lighters. Sparklers. Fire-making things. Teaches them to handle it the way he does - it's like taming a wild animal together. Maybe one day it will grow into a family pet.
Demoman:
Acts all cool and solitary. No, he doesn't need company. Sure, he doesn't mind spending time together - not that he didn't have anything else to do, though. "I didn't need yer help, y'know?"
He's the kind of man who'd kiss his friends on the lips platonically if it was socially acceptable, what's to say about someone he loves? He gets bird-related nicknames for how often he wants to peck someone on the cheek.
Tries to make them laugh. Tries to make everyone laugh, but them - especially. It's the best thing anyone can do for the world around them! He's good at it, too. He brings joy with him wherever he goes.
Writes notes for them. On a sticker on the fridge, on their desk, in a bouquet of flowers he sends to them, on the sand with a stick... They're regular notes at first, but quickly devolve into a mess of inside jokes and code words, and soon they need to decipher every sentence, but it's worth it every time.
Takes them places. An old house he'd heard might be haunted. A tall hill from where they can see the entire city. A strange cave that might or might not actually be somewhere, so vague are the directions. Everybody loves a secret place. Demo's not the type to stop at just one though.
Heavy:
Picks them up. Sits them on his shoulders. Carries them around. Doesn't matter if they're big or small - everyone's tiny compared to him.
Reads poetry to them. In Russian, knows a ton of it by heart, most of it - love poetry. Doesn't care if they understand or not, translates the best he can, but the important parts are in the feeling, not the wording.
Wakes up early. Makes breakfast. Doesn't make a big deal out of it, doesn't come back with a stacked plate and a coffee - just leaves everything in the kitchen, sometimes maybe with a note, but most often just there to eat whenever their loved ones please. He doesn't like to sleep in anyway.
Watches them. When they're busy, working, immersed in something. When they're lazing about, doing absolutely nothing. Lets them know he's there, leaves if he's not welcome, but when he is - watches, and smiles to himself, and fills the room with warmth and comfort.
Can be loud too. Not all the time, not for show. He can confess his love in public, or he can do it in private - it's all the same happy, thunderous voice that leaves no room for uncertainty.
Engineer:
Wants them around. Invites them to join whatever he's doing, tries to make it interesting even when it's really not. He may just be tinkering with an old machine that might or might not work in the foreseeable future, but he'll glow with happiness if there's the right person watching him do it.
Holds their hands. He may only have one, but he wants to grasp both of theirs.
Contrary to his friendly and open-hearted facade, he's a very private man when it comes to feelings. He wouldn't "confess" per se, but he'd say things sometimes, quietly, when there's nobody around. Profound, meaningful things, like telling them the brightness of their smile would put the stars to shame, or something better. And then shrug like it's nothing and chat about the weather and whatnot.
Cooks for them. It's all family recipes - well, changed and improved and switched up a thousand times, but the emotional attachment is there, and that's what all family dishes are about, anyway.
Shows them his work. Robots, inventions, smaller personal projects - everything. First to them, then to others. Sometimes just to them.
Medic:
Wants his doves to get along with them. It's hard to get the birds to do something they're not inclined to do, but he's keen on fighting over it for the rest of his life if he has to - it adds to the drama of the predicament.
He talks non-stop. It's not all "nothings", either - he has so much knowledge in him, so many ideas, so grand a philosophy, and he shares it in tons of words. The more he loves them, the more talking they'll hear.
He makes up excuses to spend time with them. Terrible, pathetic excuses that don't fool anybody, but that's the intention. He knows who he wants to spend time with. He makes sure they know he wants to spend time with them. The excuse is but a joke, a social commentary, a funny little bonus to strike up a conversation.
He keeps them safe. A lot of people want to keep their loved ones out of harm's way, it's a natural instinct, but Medic wouldn't be Medic if he didn't go above and beyond in that regard. He'll prove death curable if that's what it takes. Thankfully, more often than not a simple reminder to sleep at nights, drink water, and eat at regular intervals is enough.
He gets them very small and completely useless gifts. A pen. A single flower in a tiny pot. A decorative sticker. Tiny, tiny things he gets excited about for no reason whatsoever.
Sniper:
He's the little spoon. Not to be cute or whatever, it's just... nice to have his back safe, for once. Not to worry about a backstab and all.
Teaches them things. Doesn't know much, beyond his profession. Teaches them that. How to shoot a rifle, how to reload it, how to defend oneself with a knife. Makes him feel like his job - his greatest passion in life - is being appreciated, and, by extension, he is appreciated also.
Brings them sweets, but they're not normal sweets. They're either sour-sweet or bitter-sweet or spicy-sweet, because he can't be normal about it, he only loves the stuff that gives other people existential crisis and dental pain.
Takes them fishing and hunting and hiking. Plans out the routes, tells them about all the plants. Points out mushrooms, moss, bugs, spiders, all that stuff. Shares a story about how he ate poisonous berries by mistake once. His idea of a fun time.
Gives compliments readily, excitedly, but lacks the knowledge on how to, as well as the elegance to do it properly. He's the type of guy to get nervous, blurt out "You have teeth!" and show a thumbs-up, but he's trying his best, and if he has to cover his face with his hat and find an excuse to get the hell away immediately afterwards, then that's on him.
Spy:
His love language is French. No, this is not the old joke again, he really does talk to the people he loves in French. He finds it difficult to express himself otherwise.
Buys them good gifts. Expensive gifts. A nice watch. A beautiful scarf. A pair of earrings. He has great taste, but even better he is at observing people and finding out their tastes. He'd never get gold for someone who only wears silver. He puts so much thought into a gift, it doesn't need any kind of engraving to be personal.
Knows the best restaurants, but merely having dinner together isn't always his idea of fun. He frequents poker nights, golf clubs, pool tables. Knows all the best ones, and makes sure their love discovers them as well.
Gives them nicknames. Long and short, funny and poetic, actually meaningful and completely nonsensical - he likes to have a lot of words to call them, and often complains that English is too poor a language to convey the diversity of character that he's so in love with.
Ah, but it would kill him to make a compliment. So he finds a roundabout way to do it, makes it... Well, not backhanded, exactly, but balanced. "Handsome Devil", "wretched wonder", "blasphemous beauty", sometimes it feels like he's knitting words together only to level them out, god forbid someone finds out he loves others more than he loves himself.
That's it! Hope you enjoy!
