these idiots are not my otp buuuuuut. i’m doin’ the 30 day challenge for them anyway. (in doodle/comic form, because there’s no way i could produce decent art every single day for a month). let’s see if i can keep up.
day one: holding hands (after a victory)
(they can be romantic or platonic, I don't care. I just wanted to write something about them)
They are good friends even if no one realizes. They like to spend time together in silence, sitting next to each other for long hours is comforting. They are accompanied by a good friend but they do not have the need to engage in a long and uncomfortable conversation.
Sniper doesn't usually read much, but he has some favorite books. Heavy isn't a big fan of Sniper's books, but he appreciates the original style and can understand what Sniper sees as special about those books. Sniper feels important that a person with a PhD in literature praises his tastes in literature (even though Heavy does it more out of commitment than because he really likes Sniper's books)
Heavy doesn't often see Sniper on the battlefield. But Sniper regularly checks if there is no Spy stalking Heavy (Spoiler, Spy was behind Sniper this whole time)
Since they both live in places far from where they work, when they have vacations that aren't long enough to make the round trip, they prefer to go hunting together. They usually camp, get fresh air, leave the confines of the base for a while and the most fun, hunt! Sniper is still proud of the time he shot a bear to death (Heavy helped him find the perfect spot, but he preferred to give all the credit to Sniper because he likes to see Sniper happy and excited)
Sniper is used to whispering and Heavy still has to think about his words before speak (speaks slowly). Listening to them talk makes everyone sleepy, but they like to be able to talk to someone who isn't yelling (like Soldier)
Nobody believes that Heavy and Sniper are gossips because they are both quiet people. Nobody knows that between the two of them they know every gossip in the base.
Sniper becomes an Ice block in winter and Heavy melts in summer. They make fun of each other for not being able to withstand extreme temperatures.
otp 30 day challenge, day two: cuddling being lazy somewhere
The screen is too small and his fingers are too big.
The screen also tends to hurt his eyes after a while but he absolutely refuses to turn down the brightness, saying it would make it even harder to see than before
His main favorite functions are video calls with Medic or his family and listening to music.
His life is complete when he discovers E-books
He can’t read them on the screen but he loves being able to clean Sasha while having his favorite book read to him
Really doesn’t use it for much else than phone calls and the occasional google search at first
When he discovers mobile games that takes his interest though!
He becomes a candy crush mom.
Oh you have a broken arm? Wellll…You can tough it out, champ. He’s on level 7,229 right now.
He would make all the other men get Life360
Total social media zombie(I say as if I am not one)
Surprisingly he’s very popular on apps like Twitter and Tik Tok. People think he’s hilarious!
Unfortunately somewhere along the way he says something less than respectful about something and his account gets banned
Eventually he’s on account number 6 and trying to regrow his following
It never recovers
He finds out about NFT’s
Mainly uses it to watch youtube and play music
His phone is always on silent and Do Not Disturb
He loves those videos where those guys go out into the middle of the woods and just start building a fucking house out of clay and sticks.
He prefers texting to calling, finding it much faster(he just like me fr)
Baffled by just how much porn he has access to now….
But he’s not complaining.
He doesn’t use it because he just keeps breaking his phones.
They’ve been dropped, blown up, set ablaze, dropped in water, eaten by a bread-tumor monster, eaten by Soldier(???) and run over.
Even if they didn’t get destroyed within 3 days he still wouldn’t use it for much else besides setting alarms and sending confusing group texts.
However, with each new phone he has gotten he asks Pyro for stickers and sticker bombs his phone just for fun
Has an American flag wallpaper
Watches a lot of Youtube!
They love art tutorials, cooking tutorials and those videos with the guys that put molten hot metal balls into water and those videos of people crushing things in Hydraulic presses
Their search history is so fucking strange:
“my little pony free episode”
“my little pony movie free”
“how to draw clouds”
“gasoline cheap prices”
They follow Scout’s pages and always send him nice comments and like his videos
Loves listening to music and watching movies on his phone
Eventually learns how to code and make his own apps
This is also how he discovered he could jailbreak his phone and turn it into a universal remote for his sentries
Very slow texter
Uses way more emoji’s than needed
“Hello yall 👋🏻 going to the hardware store today 🔨let me know if yall need anything while im out👋🏻🚶🏼”
His most used app is the settings app
Of course all of his phones are burners.
He never uses one for more than one week
Loves pirating movies on it and watching them in bed
He has no contacts. No personal information and keeps his location off at all times
Likes to pretend to be different people and play around with Google and Youtube’s targeted ads and algorithms
One day he’s an 86 year old woman that’s recommended nothing but metal bands and funeral home ads
The next week he’s four years old and getting recommended Mario and Minecraft let’s play videos
He uses twitter
He’s doxxed many people on Twitter
Like Scout he has MANY banned accounts and has also hacked and stolen many accounts
…He hacked one of Scout’s accounts and got it permanently banned
Loves watching Top 10 videos
Also loves having so much ease and access talking to his lads
He video calls his mother often even she just nags him the whole time and keeps accidentally hanging up
Is frequently texting the other team’s Soldier and laughing at what he says back
Uses Discord and Reddit and is in many servers and communities that focus on paranormal activity, urban legends and cryptids
Actually makes his own youtube videos searching for said cryptids
Frequently comments “cringe” under Scout’s posts
Hi! I wasn't sure if your doing requests right now so I'm so sorry if you aren't, feel free to ignore. I was wondering if you could write a fluffy headcanon list/mini story about how the mercs would react to a teen reader who's super shy and skittish gifting them trinkets they have made out of clay?
Hope this made sense! English is not my native language. Thank you so much.

AW saw this in my inbox and had to do it cause i also love making things out of clay <3
Ty for the request 🎾anon!!
╔═════════════════╗
He's never been close with you, since you're always hanging around engineer and heavy more.
He kinda notices how its like you avoid him, he just wants a friend
But if you were to walk up to him and shakily place a small clay trophy with a baseball bat peaking from inside of it he'd be elated.
I'd say he's jumping for joy, and is probably crying when you hand it to him because he had just lost the team the match few hours before.
Would shove it into the other mercs faces, pointing at it laughing that they're not cool enough to have gotten a trophy.
Keeps it on his window sill next to a photo of him and his ma.
(Skittish kid vs Loud USA citizen who would win)
Jokes, but soldier wouldn't get along too well with you if you're always hiding away from him and keeping lengths away.
But when you and pyro were hanging out, you had found clay heavy had brought you and were just laying on the floor of pyro's room making little clay figures.
And you had made this poor looking eagle, with a misshapen American flag on it.
And when you offered it to soldier he was ecstatic, and by ecstatic I mean holding it up to the sky laughing in pride.
Even if the eagle looks like a fat dove he loves it, (USA! USA! USA!)
Keeps it in one of his pockets
Pyro gets along with you, they're a tad strange but easy to hang around
Since pyro loves to do crafts I expect them to already have made many things for you.
But when you gift them a clay Balloonicorn they cry
cradling it in their hands and sobbing.
They'd place it down carefully and then hug you, like bone crushing type hug.
Would try and make something for you as well
He's like your dad, and through your shyness you've stuck to him.
He's an engineer (duh) so he's probably made some things to just make your life easier
He lets you stay in his workshop if the rest of the team overwhelm you.
One day he came back from a losing battle he looked down at his work desk to see a small shotty looking sentry figure, clearly made out of clay and handpainted. A little poorly, as it looked like it was constantly painted over and fixed up.
But he loves it, keeps it on a newly built shelf so it doesn't get damaged.
He's a proud father
You hand him a small Sasha made out of clay and he doesn't know what to do.
He'll chuckle and pat you on the back, thanking you saying you did a great job.
You already were about to nervously dart away when he didn't respond for a while.
He keeps it safe, making sure no one touches it. Like it was the real Sasha.
Second proud father
Stopped drinking too much when you came to the base, to make you feel a bit more comfortable.
He doesn't let you in his workspace because he doesn't want you to get hurt by any explosives or harsh chemicals. (heavy would kill him if that happened)
You make him this small eyelander out of clay, it wasn't the right colour and its a little misshapen but its the thought that counts.
If the eyelander mentions anything wrong with it, he's locking it away again
He doesn't like kids, doesn't matter if you're a teen, scout is enough to make him feel like he's 30+ (even if sniper is the youngest merc)
You are shy, and like to hang around outside under some trees to get away from scout
And near there is where he likes to practice his aiming, and where his perch is
Few weeks later, he comes up to his perch to go on lookout, and at the bottom of the ladder is an owl figure.
He'd be confused, but could see you peaking from around a tree.
Keeps it in his van, on the dashboard stuck down with superglue.
He's a little too unhinged for you
But you like his birds so you hang around just to watch them/hang out with them.
He'd show you each bird, joyful when he can show off his pets and second in command.
Medic would be holding like 3+ small dove clay trinkets which you placed into his hands and skidded off, cooing at them as he would show them all to the actual birds.
Archimedes would try to eat one
Shows them to heavy with pride
Keeps them in his office, constantly batting Archimedes away while he tries to eat them.
He doesn't like you
And you never see him so its hard if you're going to make anything for him
He doesn't like teenagers, and with your skittish nature you're always already across the room when someone other than Heavy, Engineer or Demoman is trying to talk with you.
When he notices the other mercs with these clay trinkets he snobbishly dismisses it, saying the maker clearly was a child.
And when he gets into his smoker room there is a little clay trinket on his mantel place, a spy crab.
Wouldn't admit it to anyone but it's stayed there since it was put there and he cannot fathom to remove it.
