some of the strangest tf2 related things iโve ever seen would probably be those videos where they recreate popular movie trailers but with tf2 characters
and i donโt mean like, they recreate it in SFM
they put the actual models in the actual trailer alongside the real actors and itโs just so surreal to watch

Yes yyes yes yes this is such a good analysis I eat the dadspy angst for life- Scout is mean and selfish and oblivious of many of the things spy has done for him. The latter - did all that just for his own consciousness and of course he wanted to spend the time with scout, they jabs and bickers at each other but still don't leave each others' side to the point of near death, and that happened twice. (spy ran away in jungle inferno but that's for the sake of funny so it didnt count lol).
But what's more, Scout does NOT hate spy. quite the opposite. i think he looks up to spy a lot more than he himself is aware of. Expiration date is good example, then he goes directly to spy's help when he broke both of his arms in the comic - again. In the smissmas comic he talks to the child thinking that is spy - about how that stab is impressive, and about how he even secretly has a tier list of his favorite disguise&stabs performed by spy, and those are just to name a few.
But scout did have a vehement dislike for whoever is unfortunate enough to be his dad.
I think what's actually going to happen if scout were to know spy is his parent - is that he will turn bitter about it, he will suddenly not want anything to do with spy for a couple of days, but then he will look back and see everything now oh so clearly. And after all the time they spent together scout knew how dangerous spy's line of work is, he would have an idea on why his dad ultimately left them- it's all to protect his family.
I think the end of comic #6 pretty much concludes their relationship quite nicely. where they stood together, both injured, helding each other up, spy has bound up scout's wound like always, and he accepted spy's help without thinking twice, but still glad to have spy by his side, again.
Um.. No?
So someone wrote a Dadspy fic where Scout knew the entire time and heโs indifferent to the reveal. There were big two things that didnโt feel right to me though.
Scout passive aggressively ignoring and avoiding Sniper after he died in the hallway in comic #6.
For those that donโt want to read this other post of mine, I went over what happened to Sniper in the comics and how that mighta affected Spy wanting to disguise as Tom Jones.
Now Scout wouldnโt think about the fact that Spy saw what happened, but he would eventually be pulled aside by Demoman or somebody and told about Sniperโs situation. Especially if he and Spy had a falling out.
So I canโt imagine him ghosting the poor guy to break off their friendship.
2. This:
โHe keeps acting like he always did with Spy. The sick satisfaction he gets every time Spy follows him cloaked and takes a bullet for him in battle, tries to give him little gifts or start conversations only to get rejected with that poker face sliding over his features was thrilling.
But it got boring pretty quickly. Unfortunately, Spy didnโt leave him alone even after he yelled at him to go be useful for once and ****ing creep around the other Scout if he wanted to play follow-the-leader so bad.โ
What do you mean you enjoy reaping the benefits of your father taking bullets for you, then rejecting his attempts to do right by you?!
Itโs one thing if Scout doesnโt know the extent of how much Spy tries to help him, like protecting him from Joey Murders when his arms were broken in prison. I can see him forgetting the better deeds of his father in the timelines where he didnโt know the truth.
Itโs totally different if he knew the whole time, saw Spy putting his life on the line for him over and over, and knew that Spy wasnโt using those deeds to try to force father-son reconciliation.
Like, he did not do all of that expecting Scout to just forget being left behind and let bygones be bygones; he did it because he loves his son. He doesnโt bring any of that up when finally revealing the truth to his son, and heโs left in speechless horror and remorse when he finds out how long Scout knew. So itโs really evil and nasty to take pleasure in hurting him like Jeremyโs been doing.
โSniper shifts uncomfortably and looks off to the side, most likely to a cloaked Spy. โNah, mate. Just about theโฆ fatherโฆ thing.โ
Scout drops his stuff in his locker. โHuh? What about it?โ Of course he knows. Scout isnโt dumb. He sees the way Spy looks more and more disheveled each day, eating less and less, staring at Scout more and more.
Scout thinks it because he is at that age that he would start nagging his family to visit more if he had a normal life. If he had stayed. But he didnโt, so he doesnโt have one to nag. Not outside the base and certainly not inside it. Maybe it finally dawned on him that his only child knows him at a coworker level and wants to keep it that way. That the night he spent with his Ma practically doesnโt mean anything to anyone, not even Scoutโs Ma, but him.โ
Scout, how do you know that your parents werenโt in a relationship for a few years? You figured out Spy was your dad when you somehow recognized him at 16 in a random diner, so Ma had to have kept a picture or something like that. Ask yourself, would she do that for a random guy that she knew for one night? And would she keep that if he meant nothing to her?
โฆ And heโs really gonna just sit there and watch Spy go into a depression or worse with no remorse. Refusing to go talk to him knowing heโs standing next to Sniper, knowing heโs losing weight in a dangerous way.
Thatโs not indifference, thatโs called hate.
Me personally, I think Scoutโs the type to say something really harsh and hateful, but not actually mean it; and that heโd feel remorse for it later. Not prey on Spyโs downfall like he did in this fic. Respectfully.

I literally cried out FUCK when i see this analysis because it IS TRUE. Considering sniper and spy in the comic is implied to be as close friends as heavy+medic or soldier+demo (to the point spy told him he is scout's dad and they probably talked about it all day - Yes sniper's fate would definitely affect Spy's.
Despite spy has done so much for scout thru out their merc life and everyone could sees that he cares about scout more than anyone in the world - he still feels the fresh guilt and thinks himself the world's worst person for abandoning his son. When he saw sniper's interaction with his biological parents, no matter how he had prepared and had told himself that he is going to do it, to tell scout and accept what would happen next - he just can't after that.
He saw how sniper was just so happy to see them and acted more like an excited boy than the sniper he knew of - to only get hurt at his most vulnerable state, slowly and surely realizing how shitty those two people really were and they will never replace the parents he has lost forever. and Spy thinks to himself is it really a good idea to let scout knew his father is this bad person, the person scout has always despised (where SCOUT ABSOLUTELY DID NOT, ONLY SPY THOUGHT SO), like himself.
So despite sniper later urged him to "tell that thing! tell the thing we've discussed all the time! tell him the thing before it's too late! you've prepared for this mate I believe in you! " Spy just can't.
Found some more Pain for yโall
So, spoilers for the Tf2 comics that might never be completed.
Yaโll remember what happened with Sniper and his parents?
So first his parents die, which is terrible enough because he called them every week and trusted them. But on top of that, he finds out they adopted him, and he canโt find answers on where he came from. And he spent six months dealing with that emotional baggage.
But thankfully, heโs right about Pauling knowing where to look, and go to New Zealand and meet his birth โparentsโ.
But his father is a national embarrassment that destroyed the country. His birth parents canโt stand each other. And on top of that, his imbecile father has the gall to ask him for money.
The lab was the only place that didnโt flood, and when โmomโ leaves, she breaks a hole in the roof. And she left without her son or any of the people who came with him.
Something else important is that other teammates are there, including Spy. This was important enough to Sniper that the other teammates could know what was happening [Pauling could have lied to them]. Spyโs instinct when the room starts filling with sea water is to snap Pauling out of her Administrator disapproval panic.
If Medic hadnโt brought Sniper back with his mad science, this would have been it. A terrible demise after being left to drown by his garbage biological โparentsโ.
In my bucket scene analysis, I talked about how Spy wanted to do one last good thing for his team when they thought they were going to die. He wanted them to write down everyoneโs last wish and fulfill them, so nobody died as depressingly.
I imagine it impacted his decision to lie about Tom Jones being Scoutโs father. He saw what happened to Sniper here and didnโt want his son to die confused, disappointed and angry. Because he cares about Scout more than those two crappy New Zealanders cared about their lost boy.

actually no body talks about the absence of a red spy nearly as enough and it confuses me as well! Because if Spy's Disguise and Emblue happened in the same universe it can at the very least confirm that the red spy is still alive at the end...So where did he go? Wasn't his goal at the end of Spy's Disguise to haunt Blu Spy? Is he...Did he disguise as the plague doctor and killed Scout's ma just to frame the Blu Medic, and that will settle the argument of whether Fritz Ludwig actually did it...at all?
Well, this Definitely wonโt be Important
Ok, so first of all, Scout has been terminated by BLU because of a respawn failure. And you can tell heโs not doing well just from looking at him. And itโs the middle of the night, but heโs come to ask Dr. Ludwig to examine his teeth over a nightmare.
โWell, I was in the bathroom, rightโฆโ
โand as I was brushing my teeth, all my teeth started to fall out.โ
โThere was blood all over the basin.. it was horrible.โ
โVell, thereโs nothing wrong with your teeth.โ
This could just be Scoutโs Schizophrenia kicking in, but hereโs something to consider.
Seizures and not being able to speak or move around like before, both things that happened to Scout because of his respawn failure.
So why is he scared of loosing his teeth, instead of something wrong with his brain or being paralyzed? It would make more sense based on what happened to him, right?
Guys, we donโtโฆ we donโt actually know how RED Spy got his fake teeth. It could have been something he wanted to do, so he got the healthy ones pulled. But it could also have been a case where he got tortured, or had a respawn failure. Both things that happen to Scout in this movie.
And you wanna know something else? We never see a RED Spy in the movie.
RED Demoman was alive for a while.
Thereโs a RED zombie Scout, Soldier, Sniper, Engineer, and Heavy.
RED Medic was half alive-half dead from his experiments.
This Pyro could be BLU or RED in origin. Heโs working with RED Sniper and the bloody Engineers, who are RED Engieโs brothers, so Iโm assuming RED.
RED Sniper had respawned successfully before Soldier shot him with the rocket launcher, but heโd seen the other side.
So whereโs RED Spy? We have an evil BLU Spy, but not RED.
Heโs not even there as a zombie, like a good chunk of RED team. So where is he?
Could BLU Scout be the same one from meet the Spy, who wouldโve gotten exposed to the pictures of his parents if RED wasnโt disguised as him?
And the fact that RED Spy wanted to fulfill every mercโs dying wish instead of opening his cyanide toothโฆ What if he did have a minor Respawn failure? It happened to both sides of the Gravel War after all.

so much love for this scumbag.
What level/kind of pressure do you believe will eventually result in cease-firing? what should we do ?
i don't know what we should do but this is the last thing refaat alareer, who was just killed by a targeted israeli strike in gaza alongside his family asked for:
"More pressure on the media more coverage more Palestinian voices more protests"
just more, more, more. what everyone is doing is already good. just keep doing it.

It also means that whenever there are great catastrophes, we need to be reminded that the people are not statistics nor numbers.
The sunflower seeds, when put in the vast room in a pile, looked almost all identical, without any individuality, but the fact that they are all handmade, directly out of an artist's deliberate hand, means that they are individuals who were loved and valued before they became a number, or in this case, a sunflower seed to be thrown into a pile.
Ai Wei Wei directly criticizes the Chinese government's disregard of human lives whenever there is a disaster happening in China, either natural or man-made or both (e.g. The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake claimed almost 1m lives and many were children, due to the infamous tofu-dreg construction projects used to build most of the schools in Wenchuan), the government wanted to look good more than anything so they delayed the rescue, blocked reporters and lawyers and covered up evidences.
my favorite piece of modern art is Ai Weiweiโs Sunflower Seeds, over one hundred million hand-painted ceramic sunflower seeds made by dozens of craftsmen

op why u hurt me like this
Ok, this is a bit of a ramble, and idk if anyone's gonna pay attention to this but I NEED to vocalize is this on the internet or I'll just go insane from talking to myself in my room for all eternity
As we all know, Spy is Scout's dad and was never in Scout's life. However, we've seen that Spy is pretty good with kids
(A Smissmas Story)
NOW I KNOW MIGHT BE A BIT OF A STRETCH, but I think this is also why he treats Ms. Pauling with so much respect. Like ya I know she's his superior and he has to respect her but just look at this
(Old Wounds)
Pauling and Scout are around the same age, so I think Pauling is like a substitute for Scout. Someone that Spy can comfort (in his own way) and act "fatherly" towards because he knows he can never rekindle that kind of relationship with Scout after all the torment they give to one another, which is why he confessed to Scout about being his father disguised and when Scout was on his literal deathbed.
He treats kids, and people like Pauling, with respect and care because he was never, and can never be, able to show that to his actual son, and has no way to because he's pushed him away so much because he's pissed at himself for never stepping up.
I hope this makes sense and that I didn't just repeat myself a bunch, at least I got it out of my system lol.

me me me me me, I mean in comic spy was definitely still there when Scout was learning to walk as it was shown in Scout's dream, and dreams reflect reality. Maybe 4-5, maybe 2?
It is significant as it showed that Spy, at time time in his 20s, did try to become a husband and a father, tried settling down, and it worked for a while until it failed.
Idk if I'm one of the few who headcanons this, but I like to think Spy left when Scout was around 4-5, maybe even 3 yrs old.
Idk maybe its because I like the whole idea of Scout remembering certain things about Spy before he left, like his cigarette smoke, his small ass hands, maybe even what he said in French? I like to headcanon that Spy would call Scout mon filis (my son in french) or something along those lines.
Anyone else also have this idea?
