Because the tfc mercs are the 'evil shadow opposite' of their tf2 counterparts, id like to imagine that tfc medic was a genuine field doctor who cared about his job and the sanctity of it a lot.
Maybe he sincerely tried to heal and help and work with tfc heavy who only pushed him away since "nurses dont belong on the battlefield". Idk what i like better, cheavy just being like that and hating all attempts of cooperation from people he deems lesser than him, or him wanting to get closer with tfc medic but his firm beliefs and insecurities twisting that want into disgust and hatred
Im still torn about what made cmedic not stick with the tfc team in the comic, it could be this attitude they all had finally getting to him, or the much spicier 'cheavy killed him after he got tired of his ass/his own emotions getting too strong to suppress so he had to get rid of the problem'.
Now that i write this i absolutely like the second option more, it kinda makes me see the moment cheavy attacked medic in the comic in a different light. Like, he did this before. No issue getting rid of the same problem again.
(Not saying cheavy liked medic whatsoever, he didn't, he hated his guts. I imagine that by this point cheavy grew to be distant enough to almost fully suppress that need for anyone who tries to care for him again. Not to even mention how incompatible cheavy and tf2 medic are as characters. The "problem" this time is another medic trying to work with him on the battlefield, trying to protect him and care for him, trying to make him feel weak. in his head at least.)
Also makes the fact that his demise was a heavy/medic team-up even more delicious, the powerful bond he could've had but was too insecure to accept was the exact thing that killed him. after he tried to get rid of the problem the same way he did last time he had the chance to create something beautiful and stronger than he could ever be alone.

Posting my cursed ass headcanon/prediction* for what I think Issue #7 of the Tf2 comic is gonna be. The scare mentioned is about the Administrator’s new look
I originally just wanted to post it on TikTok but thought I was funny enough for here too lol
*(I will take questions about my headcanon/prediction/kinda au thing that this meme brings up)
Take back the Fortress chapter 17 spoilers

I didn't think I was going to be drawing smth for chapter 17 until I saw that the fic was updated, got sucked into reading and then I needed to draw. I sort of had to re-write cheavys thoughts in a first person POV, uh I'm not great at writing so idk if that came out well lmao.
But please, if you haven't already you need to read this fic. I linked it above, it's by @medics-secret-shipfic-folder !!
i tried so hard to emulate the official comics style and then maybe gave up halfway through
I think cmedic would have certain Moments with concs back when he was still new in the contract. If he misses a jump, the blast rattles his helmet and makes him dizzy for a decent bit; even the successful ones were jarring at first
Also cheavy's vest is so zesty for no reason liike why do u have so many belts and ??? Corset strings at the back . Ig corsets are good for posture but zamn, cmedic would have to crack his back wwe style
I can't remember who originally came up with this head cannon, but a while back I saw someone say that the reason that we don't see CMedic in the comics and why he isn't mentioned (if he is, I'm sorry, I haven't read the comics in forever) is because Tf2 medic WAS the Tfc medic and just continued to work there. (Once again, if this goes against cannon, I do apologize, but this is mostly for fun.) This is one of my favorite head cannons because if you think about Medic in TF2, he has to be around forty or fifty, but let's go with fifty, and Tfc takes place in the 1930's and TF2 takes place in the 1960's (the game, not the comics), which means that if Tf2 Medic was in Tfc, he would have been Twenty, which I find hilarious because it means that medic would have been the scout of the team, not class-wise, but age-wise, because everyone in Tf2 is like thirty to fifty except for scout and sniper, and sniper is a lot more mature than him anyway. Not saying Medic couldn't have been mature but it would be funnier if he wasn't.
