I Think A Lot About Those Couple Panels We Got Of Demo In The First Comic. Demoman Himself Is A Character

I think a lot about those couple panels we got of Demo in the first comic. Demoman himself is a character I find to be interesting and really like playing around with more complicated ideas and concepts, so obviously I'm gonna take note when we are handed this on a platter.

It cuts away from a little gag scene to show us that Demo...hasn't exactly been doing the greatest for the last six months. The room is dark. Drinks and snacks litter the floor. It doesn't look like it's been cleaned in weeks.

It's been six months since they were all laid off. The only friend that Demo has now is the Eyelander, who he spends watching soap opreas with nonstop. It's a miserable life from the looks of it. He doesn't seem happy. He's still drunkenly babbling on about how he's been replaced with robots. He's clearly affected by this whole thing, something reaffirmed with the next page where we see this.

Sunken eyes. Stained shirt. Robe. Unkempt beard. Sweatpants. He doesn't look too great. Literally in the next page too we also learn that he's put on some weight (Soldier says: "Hello fat Demoman!") and just...yeah.

There's quite a bit of storytelling here. I don't really wanna brush it off as just: "Oh haha isn't it funny how Demoman is an alcoholic?" because I don't really get that impression here. The only bits of humor is when his mother hits him over the head with a cane because he couldn't hear the doorbell and the Eyelander's quips.

Stuff like this is really interesting to me. It makes me think about Demo's character more, especially when here it's portrayed in a very straightforward way. Demo is drinking away his sorrows. His life doesn't really have a meaning since he lost his job. All he does is drink, eat chips, watch TV, bicker with his talking sword, deal with his mother, then sleep. Rinse and repeat for six months.

I wanted to try my hand at caricaturing !!

Not to be political on main but #HeavyForPresident

It's called FNAF Ruin cause it RUIN-ed any semblance of emotional stability I had

Scout is annoying little bastard teenager who plays baseball and runs track. He has dyslexia and ADHD so he doesn't even know what the hell is going on in school so his mother pulled him out so he never went to high school.

Soldier would just be a big, dumb idiot, who was a jock who loved football

Heavy would be taking care of his mother and three sisters, because his father died in the Gulag

Engineer would be a burnout kid. He's trying to make his parents happy by becoming a great engineer, like his father so he is working himself to the point where he has no sleep and/or sanity 

Demoman would be working like 37 jobs all at the same time and still be able to feel relaxed (Unlike engineer…)

Sniper would 100 percent be rocking that mullet and he just took up shooting with his dad so now his favorite thing is hunting for his Ma and Pa… he is still a very introverted and shy kid

Spy 100% went through a rebellious stage and you cannot tell me otherwise he would wear leather jackets he would wear ripped pants he would smoke he would he would not listen to his parents. He would be a little rebellious teenager. And later, when he is 18 or 19 he would become a part of the French resistance 

Medic is still a psychopath and his parents forced him into a braces headgear because his teeth were crooked and now he definitely wants to kill him's parents because he is in absolutely agony, but he is quite smart
