falls over and these tumble out of my pockets-
Oops! I dropped this fanart...
She’s here!!! I love her new design sm and seeing as you were doing doodles of other people’s characters and others have done so for you as well, I figured I’d hop in and doodle some fanart of her too!
Hope I got the design right, I need to get used to more complicated ones again..! ♥

👀👉👈 ( Edit: More information will be posted about her soon, but she’s called Edith and she’s the Strategist! She can block off parts of the map. ) In all seriousness though, WHO DARED?!
I actually want to also link my own, newer nurse oc, (https://toyhou.se/11015619.the-nurse) who coincidentally is paired with medic and may or may not have been inspired by a person or two on dontneedadiscord, and you! Ship people with whoever you want, man. In my opinion, if it’s not a problematic ship, then do whatever makes you happy.
Hey Guys!!
Because someone was just mean to me about my character today I have decided to just give some love to other characters.
Reblog this with the name and a picture of your 10thclass OC and I will try to draw as many as possible! (Will probably be a doodlepage)
GO. THROW YOR CLASSES AT ME
-And the connective point between worlds must be sustained by a kinetic field suspended inside of both rifts, leading to the divided halves entering stasis and allowing travel- yes! But how to harness the raw energy if this plane prevents Merasmus from even harnessing- no, wait, incorrect... But why then do I...
Oh!
Is- is this thing on?
Yes, it appears to be working fine...
Well, hello, mortals! Long time no see! Merasmus has been busy.
Allow me to fill you in on the details!
Aside from cleaning up blood stains in the carpet, drama and a rather chaotic week, Merasmus has been doing... Other things, on the side.
See, as powerful and mighty a wizard I am, the fact remains that I appear to be... Stuck.
Trapped in a realm known as “Earth.”
There is a reason for this! But Merasmus will sore you the grueling details. All you mortals need to know is that I have yet to find the clues to how magic works on Earth, and it has hindered my progress in getting back home.
Now, I will admit, Merasmus has enjoyed these adventures! A lot, actually! But it is unfamiliar, and Merasmus is very, very scared.
After all, like Merasmus said! There is a reason for my intrusion!
But why am I telling you this..?
Err,
Well,
There’s sounds of shuffling.
I don’t know... What am I doing? There’s no way this will work...
Ahem.
Mortals, I am going to be frank with you.
Whether or not I can make it to the next realm, I require assistance. The channeling of magic, my channeling of magic, has manifested into a situation far beyond my control.
So, I will continue to post suggestions! Serious or not! But please, if you have- if there is any way you know- how this “Earth” works, send Merasmus a letter! Any information- any suggestions- any questions may bring me closer to a new discovery.
Ah, this is getting a bit long, isn’t it.
Farewell, Mortals! Best of luck on your journeys!-
The tape cuts out on the last word.
Alone on a demo knight? Pathetic.
Oh hey also
I haven’t forgotten about the Merasmus post! I have one in my drafts I just need to get to making those gifs and stuff, I’ve been a bit dry on time and motivation, especially since animating takes a lot of effort and it really depends day to day how well I can animate. Just a reminder that my inbox is always open too for suggestions!

@pocketsniper you already saw it earlier but I’m posting on here because I’m rather proud of how this image came out- it was initially supposed to be less meme-y but sonic green hill theme played and you know what it fits beta spy’s aesthetic and I hate that so here you go ilysm <3
Yknow what? Tempted to make some non-canon Edith ship art/doodles with the mercs
I’ve done some wholesome ones with a character before for Valentine’s but didn’t finish 😔
Seeing the community come together like this though is really cool!
Do not harass the post creator from earlier, as usual! Any posts I make related to it I’m putting this at the bottom since I know there’s a lot of mixed feelings over the situation. Let’s focus on creative character making instead! :]
I resonate so hard with what you just posted about feeling called out with the 10th class OC thing.
Your take comforts me because I worry about this kind of thing a lot
And I work really hard
And to feel like your best isnt good enough
Or you dont get to have fun with something that YOU create
Is so draining
So yeah, thanks for speaking about it
I hope you dont give up on your OCs :)
And I hope you don’t either, anon! I’ve had a lot of experience making mary sue ocs, self inserts and the like and at any rate, I round them out because I need it to stay invested, and for others to. But that’s for me, and I do my best not to pull others down because of that, because everyone has their own things they like to do! I struggle with it sometimes, because I have anxiety over my characters being good. I make comfort characters for the exact purpose of giving them as many tropes as I want, as many edgy facets and powers as I want so as not to be tempted to give them to my other characters, but that doesn’t mean that they’re any less valid nor lovable.
And you know what?
I’m a fanfiction writer! I make content for a fandom that’s based on tropes! If people are gonna harass others for that, then there’s a big ol’ block button calling their name, alright? So even though I personally try to round out my characters for my own reasons, if you don’t want to, then you shouldn’t. Because everyone’s characters, no matter how developed, no matter how “edgy”, are VALID.
Keep making your OCs, and make them however you want. If someone tries to tell you they aren’t valid? Let them cry and sob over it. You are in control of yourself, and they can’t do anything about it.
Your best is good enough.
You can focus on making yourself happy first,
You get to have fun with your own characters,
You can work hard and come out with a result that you cherish, no matter what others tell you.
Never, ever let anyone drain you of that. Your characters are perfect how you like them.
I hope this doesn’t come across as too rant-y! I just feel your struggle, it’s a really hard mindset to break and so seeing it being reinforced hurt a little bit. But the amount of positivity coming from people because of this is absolutely incredible and it’s why I love this community so much!
Don’t let people like that get you down, alright? I agree, it’s draining, and it’s so very hard to ignore the negativity, but remember that 10 good thoughts can outweigh 1 bad thought, so keep surrounding yourself with people and characters and such that make you happy and content. Because in the end, that’s what’s most important.
We’re here because we want to have fun. We want to share ideas, we want to share our love for a work of fiction.
Be it team fortress, or anything else.

So, self insert ocs.
As someone who’s blog revolves around this one, I have some thoughts on the post.
Edith was originally a self insert oc. However, since I wanted the fic I was writing to be a sort of love letter to the community, I decided to expand her personality and try to make it so that she could be projected on by anybody. Or at least, as many people as possible. Speaking a second language, feeling out of place, having anxiety about going places, making impressions, the things in her past and mistakes she’s made, all of these things are a mixture of what I feel and what I’ve heard others feel a lot, and so I added them.
But she is, in fact, her own character and 10th class, whom I love a lot. Whether or not she is so wholly unique that she stands out, I don’t care.
But what I did care about, ironically enough, was making an impression. And that came with the mechanics of her class.
Just because you have a self insert or 10th class OC, you are not obligated in any way to explain what their purpose is, what their reasons are, so long as YOU are happy.
For me, I wanted to come up with a unique 10th class that had her own mechanics, but that’s because I saw untapped potential. If she were to be in the game, it would be near impossible for those mechanics to actually work due to map limitations.
And that’s the thing, because she’s a work of fiction, it doesn’t matter.
That means I can get as creative as I want with her, because she’s not part of the game.
As for shipping, my personal rule is not to ship her with any of the mercs! Not in the main fic, anyway. Might make some spinoffs if I ever finish the main one, but I felt that many had a bias towards certain characters they liked, (which is absolutely fair and I love those kinds of fics either way), and I wanted to keep it so that she could have varying relationships with everyone and not just romance! It’s for personal reasons, not influenced by anybody else.
However, I immensely enjoy seeing people shipping their ocs and self inserts with the team! Why the heck do you think I post x reader headcanons sometimes?
In the end, your characters are not more or less valid, and you don’t love your characters more or less depending on how developed they are.
As long as a character makes you happy, as long as the relationships they share make you happy, as long as you are content, then nobody, and I mean NOBODY can tell you how YOU should write YOUR characters.
You can take overdone concepts and expand upon them in your own way, because your character is unique to YOU.
You can give them modern day clothes and use tropes because your character is unique to YOU.
and YOU,
can do whatever you DAMN want.
You are valid, loved, and your characters, your self inserts, your tenth classes are yours and yours only. I support you all the way!
Do not send hate/harassment towards the author of the post being mentioned here, you goofs.
I’m boutta make a post about this one, folks. Not sure if the post still exists, but this blog is dedicated to what was originally a self insert oc, and there’s reasons I’ve changed things about her that, when mentioned in the post that showed up earlier today (while I did not see it personally, I saw screenshots...), definitely hurt a bit to hear, because I know how it feels to be all of those things.
Either way, your 10th class ocs, original or not, are valid af and I support you all the way! ya’ll are welcome on my blog, ya’ll are supported on my blog, and most of all, ya’ll are amazing and deserve to have fun even when others try to drag you down.
Do NOT send the author of the post we’re all mentioning any hate/harassment, ya goofs.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS?! IVE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON MY FOLLOWER COUNT LATELY AND I KEEP LEAPING UP IN NUMBERS AND-
ITS BEEN FOUR MONTHS SINCE I JOINED THIS SITE AND I’M ALREADY AT 300???
Seriously, you guys are the best. The amount of positive attention my posts have garnered recently is off the charts and I’m incredibly honored to have you all here! I know I’m a bit slow to post headcanons, but I do hope that each and every one of you is able to find joy in the content I provide.
This is my very first time joining tumblr, let alone joining a giant community all at once, and the amount of amazing people I’ve met, content I’ve seen, and suggestions I’ve received has been incredible. And in the time that I’ve joined this community and begun to enter the fandom far later than most, it’s the happiest I’ve felt in a fandom in a long, long time.
Sorry for the long, sappy post, but I just have a lot of thoughts on all this. Should I do something in celebration? If so, what would everyone here like to see? Content we need more of? I’d love to hear it!
Another heartfelt thank you to everyone,
- Lucky

IMPORTANT
Hey, so I’ll be updating my rules soon to clarify what I am and am not comfortable with writing. For most asks, it’s alright because I didn’t specify and therefore ya’ll had no way of knowing! Since I’m not obligated to respond to all of my asks, it just won’t be filled out.
However.
I’d like to be firm with boundaries.
Sending kink asks in my inbox, is under no circumstances allowed.
Thinly veiled, seeing-what-i-can-get-away-with, closeted, testing the waters, borderline, it does. not. matter.
Anon is on because I choose for it to be. I am writing for my own personal enjoyment, and the enjoyment of others in the fandom.
I do not enjoy it when people don't adhere to my boundaries and instead try and push them further.
To be clear, this was one anon, but I would like it to be zero from here on out. Thank you all for sending such amazing asks, and I do hope one person doesn't sour the experience for the rest of ya'll.
Anon will be left on, but should more people try and pull the same thing, it will be turned off, potentially permanently.
It's very late right now, so I can't update the rules yet, but I will be either reformatting or just specifying pieces to better fit what I have learned I would like to write, and what I would not.
Those who have sent asks before the rule change, it's not your fault! I didn't necessarily know what I was and wasn't comfortable with, but know that if you sent an ask that does not adhere to the new rules, it likely won't be finished.
On the bright side, there's a fair few asks I've yet to get to that I'm very eager to write!

Thank you for saying that! One of my biggest fears is waiting for something that's never going to come, so reassurance is great. -Honey badger anon
Yours is in drafts too, by the way! As an update ;]
