#sometimes i like to imagine a variation on the Meet The Demoman video

[gonnahaveabigtalklater]

sometimes i think about Demoman’s low self-esteem in the context of his family traditions and i’m like:

#tf2 demoman #someone please explain to this man that he is perfect the way he is #and that he does NOT need to meet the expectations of (1) ableist society in general #or (2) the overly prescriptive and punitive highlands demolitions society #semi-related headcanon: #sometimes i like to imagine a variation on the Meet The Demoman video #where we get Tavish talking himself down (like he always does) #and then smash cut to interviews with the rest of the team saying things like 'Demoman? oh yeah he's my favorite colleague i love that guy' #'do you think he'd let me be his friend?' 'i'd die for that man' 'i'm gonna give him my best hats because he deserves them' #Demoman finishes sobbing about the fact that nobody cares about him & wipes away his tears with a pile of what is clearly adoring fanmail #etc etc etc #tf2 ❤ #tf2 demoman ❤
