It's unfortunate that one of the best remixes of all times isn't on Spotify. Thankfully, someone has uploaded it to Youtube.

I sing a little song to myself whenever I’m fighting skeletons in video games that just consists of me singing the word skeleton over and over again to the tune of Lollipop by The Chordettes

honestly that "start your story with action" advice really fucked a ton of writers over because it provides no actual details on what that actually means, so a lot of writers don't approach it right. it does not mean throw your characters into some high stakes shootout on page 1 because "action is hooky" (it can be, but with a lot of caveats, which i'll go into detail about below). it means you need to ensure that something happens in the beginning of your story (rather than your character sitting in a room describing the furniture), and while that something should absolutely be influenced by the category and genre in which you're writing, we have to actually care about your characters from the beginning or we're not gonna give a fuck if they're getting shot at by some nameless, faceless baddies.
so slow your beginning down. give us time to settle into the head of your narrator and their surroundings. give us something about them that makes them interesting to us, that makes us want to follow them to see where this story is going. if there's some high stakes shootout, start a minute or two before the first gun fires. your narrator sits behind a low brick wall, loading her gun, reciting a nursery rhyme in her head because it helps calm her down, helps her settle into a mindset required to shoot straight, and even gives her a tempo upon which she can base how quickly she fires. she always chews on a piece of gum because if she doesn't she might chew through her cheek. her hands shake and her palms sweat (this humanizes her), but when she raises the gun, she and everyone around her trusts that she can do her job (which makes the reader trust her). to her left is her best friend (who is going through her own pre-shootout ritual of explaining how to load a gun to her lucky rubber duck humberto, who has been glued to her left shoulder pad) and to her right is the man she absolutely is not attracted to and actually hates quite a lot thanks for asking (who is also going through his supposed pre-shootout ritual of singing lollipop by the chordettes and popping his lips off tempo because he likes making the narrator glare at him--it distracts her from the fact she's leading this platoon into almost certain death and from the fact they've already lost seven soldiers today, though why he should care about her wellbeing in this regard is not something she wants to think about)
and then the first gun fires and all hell breaks loose, and the action can begin. but at this point, not only do we know your narrator, we know a bit about her--her mannerisms, her pre-shootout rituals, the people she has surrounded herself with (the kind of best friend she has, the kind of person she's attracted to--even the fact she has a best friend and a potential love interest, which further helps humanize her), the fact she's leading a platoon that has already lost nearly half its numbers (which implies she's important and smart enough to lead but that the situation might be one in which she's in over her head)
we don't need the gunshot to be the first thing we witness. we need the characters to be, because characters are what make a reader want to settle in and find out what's going to happen. if the reader doesn't care about the characters, they probably won't care about the plot (even in a plot-driven story)

hi hello hi
i love ur headcanons, they're the most canon headcanons i've ever read 🫣..
was just wondering if you could write some about what you think the mercs favourite bands/musical artists would be 👁️
What Are The TF2 Mercs Favorite Bands/Music Artists?
————————————————————
Awe tysm! Of course, I can, I love writing about music 😭 I had to delve into the depths of my Spotify to actually see what bands I know, that I should pick for these guys. This totally isn't me projecting btw.
I ended up just giving them a band they like and a singular musical artist.
(I've been forgetting to specify or elaborate on this, most of the time, unless mentioned, these silly's are in present day and not like the 60s lmao.)
————————————————————
SPOILERS FOR THE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY MOVIE! (Also a little angsty, sorry <3)
————————————————————
Demo and Hozier oh my god, its insane how much he likes him. I don't know how to elaborate on this further, but like, "Would That I"??? I feel like he loves that song! Also, I feel like all I have to say is "Take Me To Church" and I know some people will understand that immediately. This man just uses music as escapism, of course he likes Hozier.
Will Wood and The Tapeworms is a band that I've already deemed one of Demo favorites because of "The First Step." but this man just genuinely loves all of the songs. "The First Step", "Front Street", "6up 5oh Copout (Pro/Con)" and "Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!" Are his favorites though.
————————————————————
Engie is a hardcore Dolly Parton fan. I know it's played out, I know it's obvious, I know its tropey, but I can't deny that this man loves Dolly Parton. Like this man is head of the fan club and I won't stop saying it. It would be wrong for me to pretend he doesn't heavily relate to "9 to 5."
Also loves the Chordettes oddly enough? He thinks all the way they sing is beautiful. He adores the cover of "Hello! Ma Baby". But is also a sucker for the popular ones, "Mr. Sandman" and "Lollipop". I will say though, it's utterly disturbing to the other mercs when it's like midnight and they get up for something and just here a really softly played "Mr. Sandman". Only one not disturbed is Medic, but like, it's hard to disturb a man who also has been known to play those old eerie songs at odd hours, they bond over this.
————————————————————
This man loves Elton John, he loves how he can relate heavily to some of the songs and then just genuinely enjoy other ones with no other meaning. Like he'll listen to "I'm Still Standing", and feel a lot of emotions from it, and then like "Crocodile Rock" will come on and just vibe to it.
Heavy also likes the Beetles. I don't know I just think he likes way the songs are sung, and the meaning he pulls from the lyrics themselves. Reads into music a lot and values being able to do that. Likes songs about love, and the Beetles are great for that. Don't get him started on "I Want To Hold Your Hand", and "Eleanor Rigby".
(Uh did I make this man have kind of old man music taste? Yes. Am I wrong, and will I apologize? No. He is old!) (Affectionate)
————————————————————
MARINA being Medics favorite is a mix of him being a teen girl in my mind, and an actual genuine ability to relate to some of the songs. I will say this until the day I die. This man has never felt good enough. Not even once. He's always working to try and get better, and once he does get better he's moving the goal post of getting better. Has played "Are You Satisfied" more times than you can count. "Oh No" and "Hermit The Frog" are also one's he finds himself both loving and relating to.
Would you guys be mad if I said this man was obsessed with Queen? (I am not projecting here, I swear!) Similarly to Heavy, he's a sucker for a romantic song or two. Loves "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" Also you want to talk about not feeling good enough, loops "Bohemian Rhapsody" Have you guys seen the Bohemian Rhapsody movie? You guys know the scene where Freddie (Rami Malek) is singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" and sings the line "I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all!" and has a slight break because he realizes he just actually said that? Yeah. That's how Medic feels when he first hears the song. But on a lighter note he also likes "Killer Queen" and "I Want To Break Free."
(Went crazy on this one, I really just need to make an entire breakdown on Medic one of these days 😭)
————————————————————
Scout is a Tom Cardy fan. I don't know how to elaborate without just yelling "Mixed Messages" like come on. Also, have you guys heard "H.S" Man he loves that song! Also oops another mini headcanon inside a headcanon, Sniper introduced him to Tom Cardy when he had "Read Between The Lines" playing one day.
Mindless Self Indulgence is a tad self-explanatory but who am I not to explain something in graphic detail? Gives him such confidence and makes him feel so cool. I already headcanon that he loves "Get It Up" so it's only natural that his favorite band made a song he loves. I stand by what others have said. Trans boy swag, well also a mix of that and white boy swag. White trans boy swag makes a Mindless Self Indulgence fan.
————————————————————
Sniper- Honestly? I racked my brain for this one, and I'm going to get silly with this. I'm going to say he likes George Ezra, purely because "Budapest" reminds me so much of him. I think he'd love that song. Another case of putting his emotions into his music or more like, liking music that conveys his emotions? Ough the song just gives me Sniper angst vibes.
Uh controversial opinion, what the frick??? Oingo Boingo fan. Again something I can't but he loved "Dead Man's Party" It's just a song he's always really liked. "No Spill Blood" and "Controller" are also ones he likes. I feel like "weird" music is his favorite genre of music.
————————————————————
I hate to say it but Spy is a fan of Olivia Rodrigo. I'm not going to lie, he's the second most teen girl-coded person on the team. Sings "bad idea right?", "Brutal", and "good 4 you". Sings them in the shower, the other mercs are sick of it 😭
Is it too much to say Mother Mother for the fact that I love Spy angst and can see him crying over "Arms Tonite" and relating to "Verbatim" so hard it's insane? Ugh, I live for Spy angst. I want him to be happy too but it's so easy to put angst😭. (Also I can't stress how much "Wrecking Ball"
————————————————————
Soldier is a sucker for AC/DC. Dad music (I say this with love, I get why people like AC/DC they have good music.)This man is just a criminally insane dad, in my mind anyway. The other mercs have been woken up to "Highway to Hell" once or twice and have let Soldier play "Thunderstruck" as hype music before a battle.
I think he likes Tom Petty, like how are you going to tell me he doesn't love "I Won't Back Down" and "Free Falling" just loves the sound of the music itself (if that makes any sense) more focused on the sounds instead of the actual meaning.
————————————————————
Pyro is a huge fan of Jack Stauber. They adore the music. Enjoys the pop of "There's Something Happening" and loves the slow and sad sounds in "Cupid" Ugh they just love Jack Stauber so much. The only issue they had was when they first listened to "Bumblebees Are Out" it caused a meltdown, poor Pyro was reminded of trauma they forgot. Engie had to calm them down for an hour after. (They're okay, don't worry!)
PYRO IS A JUGGALO 100% I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. They kick their legs while listening to "Imma Kill U". Listen to "My Axe" and replace any mention of an axe with their flamethrower, in their head. I'm just imagining an AMV or just seeing Pyro walking to "Boogie Woogie Wu" and scaring the shit out of anyone and everyone.
————————————————————
I finally finished it 😭 I had like five asks? All at the same-ish time and I was so hyped but then my brain decided to revoke all my motivation. It's okay though I just pushed through it. I love being able to answer asks!
An ask about about Medic and Junji Ito's Gyo coming tomorrow hopefully!

It sucks that a whole superficial American 1950s greaser era AU doesn't work for Cattonquick for the sole reason that The Chordette's Lollipop can easily be used as delulu Oliver about Felix.
Sweeter than candy on a stick/huckleberry, cherry, or lime/ if you had a choice he'd be your pick/ but lollipop is mine.

I can definitely see Pyro and Reactor just spinning in the middle of battle with Lollipop by the Chordette blasting in the background, dancing around the fallen bodies
they have chill fun times you can't even CONCEIVE of. Coloring. Talking but not listening to the other. playing with scrap metal.
