#blu's intelligence

Scout

Chances are he won’t believe it at first.  He’ll laugh and shrug it off, honestly not expecting much out of the statement beyond it being friendly banter.  But once he has a chance to think about it, he’ll seriously overthink it.  Were you being serious?  There was no way you were being serious.  No way.  Seriously?  But wait, had he totally ruined it?  He’d shrugged it off and now you thought he was an asshole, right?  Shit.  He’d messed it up he’d messed it up he’d messed it up why did he shrug it off shit shit shit shit shit shit.

Of course when he goes to ask about it, he’ll say it very jokingly since he doesn’t expect you to answer in the positive again.  After that, he’s head-over-heels happy for at least the next few weeks; constant bragging comments few months.

Soldier

He doesn’t understand the gravity of the statement at first.  He laughs, slaps a hand on your shoulder and thanks you for the compliment.  He would, however, tell you entirely honestly that he loves you as well, then proudly stride off while entirely content with his belief that, since you were clearly only meaning it to be platonic, he got to admit his feelings without his secret being known!  The perfect ruse!!  You’d have to say it a few more times for the message to sink in, and after that he’ll probably turn a bit red in the face and say that he had been honest too.

Pyro

Absolutely filled with glee.  They are all giggles and sunshine whenever they’re around you, showering you with flowers and sweets and little drawings of the both of you together.  Of course, they’ll also invite you to watch the giant bonfire made from the corpses the opposing team, but look at the pretty sparks that come off of their glasses and watches!  Isn’t it pretty~?!

Demo

It may take a few tries for him to remember and realize that you’ve said it at all (late nights with drinks made it very difficult to remember anything at all), but once he does he sees it as the go-ahead to finally get romantic.  He’s a bit more gentle for a while whenever you’re alone, soft-spoken and kind.  But once he feels comfortable enough in the relationship, he’ll get back to being his loud and rather brash self; even moreso now that he’s got you by his side.  He’ll undoubtedly watch your back, just so long as you always have his.

Heavy

Heavy never had the chance to grow up somewhere where love and romance were common things.  In his childhood, having people outside of family that you cared about was a dangerous thing, and things could only end badly for you both.  That’s why when you first told him that you loved him, the entire world felt cold.  It was too dangerous.  Too risky.  He wants to care for you, but he’s scared of what it entails.  It will take a long while for him to feel safe enough to start showing emotion around you; although you’ll definitely be able to tell how fiercely protective he’ll be of you right off the bat.

Engineer

Engie will be beyond delighted that you’ve finally admitted your feelings for him; because it finally gives him the go ahead to do what he likes.  Every time you’re together he’s got his eyes and hands all over you, making sure your attention is on him and only him.  Even if you’re both out on the field, he’ll find a way to get to you and make sure you remember to whom you belong.  Heaven help the poor soul that happens to glance at you; enemy team or not they’ll be seeing the reset before the end of the day.  You’re his, after all; and no one else is allowed near you.  No one.  Ever.

Sniper

Sniper can feel his heart stop beating the moment after you say it.  The man can’t believe his own ears, and has to take about three full minutes to process what you said.  At that point he can practically feel his blood pounding throughout his body, turning his cheeks and ears a bright red.  He is still silent as ever, excited and anxious if a bit stiff and stuck in a daze.  He wants to believe it, and yet he simply can’t.  Did you really just say that?  Naw, you couldn’t have.  But you did.  But you didn’t mean it.  But what if you did?  There’s no way you did.  But he could have sworn you said it!  Maybe it was a mistake.  Oh, but that look on your face…  That couldn’t be a mistake.

Eventually he finally processes the statement and grins widely, hefting you up to spin you around, keeping you safely secured in his tight bear hug.  He’s laughing heartily and his heart is practically leaping out of his chest.  This has got to be the best day of his life.

Medic

Medic isn’t exactly one for serious romance.  He’s the type for a “friends with benefits” sort of relationship, and any mention of emotions is sure to get little more than a laugh and a dismissive wave.  However, when you happened to be the one to say that dreaded phrase, the man genuinely had to pause and take in what you’d said.  He eventually laughs and waves a hand to shoo the idea away, but it is far more halfhearted than what it would normally be.  Lots of people had said that to him before, but few have genuinely meant it.  Chances are he’ll be thinking about that moment for a long time, and only if you said it again will he think it’s genuine.

He might be afraid to speak to you for a while, just because he’s unused to that feeling being genuine.  He doesn’t know what to think of you, himself, or these feelings; so he’s afraid to get involved with anything.  After a while, he’d probably warm up to the idea of trying something serious, although he’ll probably go about it all wrong at first.

Spy 

(admin undercover’s spin on his reaction below. everything above is all admin headshot’s! :D)

Unlike his other teammates, his reaction doesn’t lead to a happy ending. Spy is a walking shadow - meaning he must sever any connections to him as discreetly as he can. True, maybe his heart yearns for settling down…giving up espionage…making another life for himself. But in the end, he knows he’ll always choose the thrill of spying over the routine that comes from loved ones.

So hearing a lover of his say, “i love you” for the first time, he knows it’s time to leave. There are two generalized ways he’d react: A) he can’t find himself loving this person back/doesn’t return the same intensity this person feels for him. or, B) he has a dawning realization, “oh merde, i’m in love, oh god, i can’t do this.” (the B route is rare in comparison to the A route). Either way, it doesn’t matter what Spy feels. 

((((Hey there everyone!  Mod Blu here.

So, we realized that having our own Mod names be the same as our character mod names was making a lot of people confused.  Yes, the Characters known as mods Blu and Red are not the same as the IRL Admins Blu and Red.  This confusion has been bothering both the Admins themselves and newcomer RPers that are interested in interacting with us, so we (the admins) have come up with a solution.

We are considering changing our IRL Admin names to Headshot (instead of Blu) and Undercover (instead of Red)

In the Story, the characters known as Mods Red and Blu will still be there, keeping their color-based names.

OOC, the Admins would be known by these name changes.

((((Hey everyone; mod Blu here.  We’ve uh... we’ve gotta tell you guys something.

So, as you may have noticed, it’s usually Mod Blu involved with answering asks.  You hardly see Mod Red, and the all-merc asks have been getting shorter and shorter.  I’m here to expand on the situation going on IRL

Both Mods are still enrolled in school.  We have limited schedules, and are under constant pressure to get our homework done.  However, I (Mod Blu) have far more time than Mod Red, which is why you see more of me on the blog compared to her.  This also means that I am the one answering all of the asks.

Now before we go any further, I just want to say that I still love answering asks, and don’t plan to stop at any time in the foreseeable future.  I love answering you guys as the Mercs and it’s wonderful to be on this blog.

However, constantly answering questions for all of the mercs at once is very difficult.  Since I tend to answer questions like they were stories; I always want to make the mercs interact with each other somehow, but I don’t know how to do that all of the time.  I end up forgetting characters, write them incorrectly, and/or miss out on potential interactions between them.  Plus, with everyone’s differing personalities, it just seems highly unlikely in-character that they’d all be up for answering asks about themselves to random people they don’t know.

With that all in mind, I’m hereby announcing that, from now on, questions about all of the mercs, (Eg, their favorite foods/types of music, what they think of ____, if they’ve heard of ____, if ____ happened to them, etc) will be answered by the Mods.  It makes the most sense in terms of the setting, since the “mods” are supposed to be observing the mercs and seeing them for who they are; and again, a lot of the mercs might refuse to answer or lie entirely to the question.

However!  If you ask one or two mercs in particular about a single topic (eg, what happened at ___?  Do you like ____?  Why _____?) then that will be answered in-character in a story-like setting; sort of how things went down at the beginning of the merc’s “morning” at the start of this blog.  It’s just easier on me and will let me get to a lot more asks throughout the day.

Now, on weekends we will try and make everything follow the story (even all-merc asks, when possible).  Both mods will be free at that point, so we can work together and write it how we like.  On the weekdays though, we’ll have to follow the rules listed above.

Everyone ok with that?  I hope so.  I really hope this doesn’t make anyone upset.  I love you guys, and I really really really hope you understand why we’re doing this.

Thanks,

“Hey hey, who’s da guy wit’ da handsome mug?  Oh wait, das’ me!!”  Scout laughs heartily as his grin spreads from ear to ear.

“So apparently, Mod Blu told us dat da webcam we got on our laptop is weird.  It gets what we’re doin’, so you guys technically know what’s happenin’ all da time; but you guys can only actually see us if we take a picture an let her run it tru a program called uh... Source Filmmaker.  I don’ really get it, but hey; now ya can finally see us!  I uh... I dunno what Soldier’s doin’ back dere, but at least we’re all in da shot.

... Wait, Mod Blu, you an’ Red ain’t in ‘ere!

...Blu?  Where’d ya go?...Hmm.Well anyway, dere we are!  Hey everybody!”

((((TF2 ask blog for the Reds.

No nsfw

Will occasionally reblog cool/silly TF2 things

RPs will be available sometime in the next month

Miss Pauling and 2 OCs are also available to answer asks

Questions for individual mercs will generally be answered in a story-like setting

Questions for multiple mercs (more than two) on weekdays will be answered without a story-esque setting for context

Questions for multiple mercs (more than two) on weekends will be answered as if the events were observed by the mods

((((Mod Blu here going super OOC to give you guys a quick bit of info.

Now, I am all for asks concerning all of the Mercs.  I love them, I get to write for all of them and work on getting them portrayed correctly, and I just love everything about them.  Please, by all means, keep sending them in.

Keep in mind though, that I am just one person.  I have a lot of things to do IRL that take lots of time, and Mod Red has even less time than I do.  It should be obvious by now, but I just want to make something known very quick:

If we get an ask for all of the mercs, and another for just one merc, chances are that we will answer for just the one merc first, even if we got the ask for all of them first (This is especially true on weekdays).  This is just because writing for all of them takes longer, and we often only have short blips of time to answer questions.

Don’t worry, all questions will be answered no matter who they are for.  Hell, we’ll probably start taking questions for miss Pauling and the Administrator soon enough.  But just keep in mind that some will be answered sooner than others.  I hope this doesn’t make anyone upset.

Thanks

Mod Blu))))
