Really want some soft stuff rn figured I’d share
Not really in any particular order? I just picked some mercs from the pile and put em in there.

Scout
Touch starved, Scout will melt into any move regarding affection possible!
He’s adamant that he thinks cuddling is gross, but you know he’s a cuddlebug when the two of you are alone.
Prefers to hug facing you while sitting in your lap, maybe leaning against something so you’re more comfortable.
If you’re taller, he’ll probably be attached to your side, arms around your torso.
If you’re shorter, his arms are around your shoulders, head leaning next to yours.
Heavy
Doesn’t mind public displays of affection, though he seems surprised at how confidently you show that he’s your s/o or platonic friend-
Normally when the two of you are together, he has you wrapped up in a bear hug with you resting on his chest.
Other times, if you’re somewhere like a couch, you’ll sandwich yourself between him and the back as if he’s a wall of safety.
But most of all, Heavy prefers to be held. Even if he’s the bigger guy, he’s the little spoon and it shows. He’s always afraid of crushing you in his grip, and he’s always been the mother hen type. Having you there to be his emotional support means the world to him.
Demoman
Being so broad shouldered means hugging can be an issue at times. When cuddling, the two of you tend to be in a sort of sideways position around each other, curled up like cats. The other mercenaries find it hilarious, especially when Demo is drunk and unable to realize he’s even with somebody, holding you to his chest while you just lay there smiling, content.
He is. A sweetheart when it comes to that kind of thing. When he’s more sober, which isn’t very often, he’s much closer and tries to make the best of remembering the moment.
Spy
Being the most well versed in the world of romance, one would think that Spy would be a cuddler. He’s not.
He’s great with giving out compliments, whispering them in your ear as he brings you closer into his arms, but the second you approach him and he isn’t expecting it, he freezes up quicker than lightning.
“Mon cher, what is it you are doing?”
He’s completely flabbergasted by the idea of just. Sitting, and relaxing next to another person? He much prefers to be alone, but you manage to convince him to try after an unbelievable amount of effort.
At first, it started with him sitting, unsure next to you with you leaning into his side, or maybe with your arm wrapped around his shoulder and your head nestled into the crook of his neck.
Eventually he warms up to it, returning the gesture of having one arm around your shoulders and ith the other hand preoccupied with a book, a cigarette or a glass of wine.
After a particularly long battle, disheveled and ready to throw something, he realized just how helpful having somebody there with him turned out to be. No need for any fancy rituals, just being in each other’s company. He’s drooped over in your arms, hung over your shoulder sideways and exhaustedly bringing you both into a laying position, just so you can both talk without the effort of sitting up.
Medic
Medic is a busy man, constantly moving about in the infirmary attending to his latest inventions or tending to his beloved doves.
He hates when he has no say in something, which is why you have to convince him to step away from his projects after two days without sleep by being there with him for practically every second.
He’s the big spoon, no questions asked. It gives him the feeling of having control over a situation, having you in his arms and close to his chest.
Around the base, particularly if waiting for an early morning mission to begin, he loves it when he can use somebody’s lap as a pillow, meaning yours are the first choice.
When he truly cannot step away from his work, you can probably try sitting in his lap. He likely finds it cute, but he’s very absorbed in his experiments. This means he’s on autopilot and might slice you a few times when reaching over to make an incision, so it’s a risky move for both parties.
Sometimes in the evenings while doing paperwork, when warm orange sunlight filters through the window and onto the desk, he can be found conked out in his office chair, with you in his arms, facing against his chest. When this happens, the doves join in, tucked beneath your neck, on his shoulders, on the seat by your legs, some are even brave enough to quietly nest in your hair. You both deny it happened when scout walked in on the sight while looking for a bandaid.
Sniper
Much like Scout, Sniper is hopelessly touch starved and any affection sends him into overdrive.
Prefers to sit straddling your hips, he’s got long, long legs and is NOT afraid to use them.
Speaking of legs, your cuddling positions can get a bit crazy at times. Considering the fact they can fold entirely across your back, his hugs are more like a trap than an actual method of snuggling up to each other.
When lying down, it’s easier for you to lie on his chest than anywhere beside him thanks to how long his limbs are, but you both don’t mind.
Even just sitting beside each other, Sniper practically melts. Hug? He’s jello. Pet his hair? Cries.
The way he holds you isn’t just for his own comfort though. He’d sacrifice it to see you happy in his arms. No, it’s because in the end, he always has to have one eye open and is therefore rather protective of you.
It’s a sort of defense mechanism, really. If you can’t move away, nobody can try and take you or steal you either. He’s too embarrassed to admit it though, or maybe he just doesn’t know how.
Either way, seeing you safe and sound in his arms is enough.
Not doing all the mercs, but if you want to see the others let me know! It’s just getting late and I need to sleep, also don’t really have many ideas for the other mercs hhh-
4?
I personally prefer casual, though I’ve been in one competitive game and played some less casual matches before. I don’t really have many people to play competitive tf2 with and since I don’t use voice chat, it’s harder to communicate in the moment, so I tend to prefer matches where I can quickly communicate with my team via. chat!
I also prefer to be able to switch out my class more often since I get bored of some more easily than others, or want to take care of something that the rest of my team is unable to, take on a challenge, or cool off with if I’m getting frustrated to distract myself.
Thanks for the ask! :]
(Hey if anyone has the source of whoever posted this particular gif of meet the heavy, let me know and I’ll update!)

Late night post but that’s okay. This is sort of a comfort(?) post based on a fic I read that made me think about this.
The night out in the desert can get chilly at times, and incredibly dark. Walking out there, shoes crunching against gravel as the crickets sing, the one place you’ll usually find light is Sniper’s van.
Usually he takes his time later into the evening and night to himself, away from the other mercs to sharpen his weapons, listen to the radio, engage in hobbies or just stare at the wall, relax.
If you were to knock and enter, friend or s/o- he’d allow you in seeing as you’re there rather late, perfectly fine with spending a quiet bit of time with you to just... be there with each other, maybe with you leaning on his shoulder or side for comfort.
That’s not what this headcanon is about though, it’s the fact that the light in his van is definitely incredibly yellow in contrast to the outside, not white but yellow. The orangey, warm tones that wrap around the inside of the van make for the ideal place to rest, think, sleep... not to mention compared to the outside chill, it’s slightly heated, not quite stuffy, but warm and nice to sit inside. Not toasty, but not normal room temperature either.
Being a camper van, there’s not loads of space inside, but it’s not quite cramped either. Storage is off to the sides, there’s a mini fridge, a small area to cook food... the bed is a nest of worn blankets, old pillows and maybe an item or two, such as the smaller kukri he has hidden between the mattress and the wall facing the front of the van.
Basically, it’s like a light at night during a camping trip, the blankets feel almost akin to a very well built sleeping bag (mega comfy ykno), everything there is distinctly his...
Wow ok am I touch starved or what?
i am
spy tf2 is such a dork you get a domination on an engineer and he just yells ‘did i throw a WRENCH into your plans?’ while laughing his ass off. if you get a tie in comp he makes a pun about already having a tie and not needing another one. He makes a dad joke in the comics. Dork.
W??! Where did you all come from??? I love you all!
Hopefully I can get more headcanons out soon, I haven’t gotten any asks that have personally piqued my interest as of late! Feel free to send in any, even if it’s been done a lot. I’m happy to give my own takes!
Seriously though, thank you all a ton! It’s been a really fun ride so far, I hope to bring a smile to all of your faces!
Brooo thank you for the positive kitty... I don’t think I can tag everyone I’m friends with so imma just post this in our server... positive kitty....

Hey Hey Heeeyyyyy
Would people be interested in doing a big ass collab of 10th and non-merc tf2 ocs?
Like would you join? For the reason being that I had that idea suck in my head for a good while now and it would be interesting to see people's OCs interacting with each other :)
I am approaching your location at Mach speeds.
😳
pspsppspspsps medic icons come here *spreads pngs of heavy around*
Hogh I love him...
You said in the tags something about oc interactions? 👀👉👈
I hear we're doing ocs again? Good. Wonderful. I have seven.
This is Hugo Harvey, the P.I. (Private Investigator !) I don't have too much fleshed out for him as far is his abilities go, aside from the eyes! Funny littol robot eyes that let him see through walls :].
He's a friendly guy, laughs a lot, and has a nickname for anyone he's talked to for more than 5 minutes. And i love him,
I’m boutta make a post about this one, folks. Not sure if the post still exists, but this blog is dedicated to what was originally a self insert oc, and there’s reasons I’ve changed things about her that, when mentioned in the post that showed up earlier today (while I did not see it personally, I saw screenshots...), definitely hurt a bit to hear, because I know how it feels to be all of those things.
Either way, your 10th class ocs, original or not, are valid af and I support you all the way! ya’ll are welcome on my blog, ya’ll are supported on my blog, and most of all, ya’ll are amazing and deserve to have fun even when others try to drag you down.
Do NOT send the author of the post we’re all mentioning any hate/harassment, ya goofs.
TF2 fanblog! Based on the 10th class fic "Ten's a Crowd", AKA Meet the Strategist! Mostly general headcanons, artwork, and fic info here. READ REQUEST RULES PLEASE! ♥
