Hiii idk if you answer asks but I just wanted to let you know I’ve been looking for the author of my absolute favorite sniperspy fic for a while and I’ve found you!! Seriously what you’ve written so far is fantastic and I love that it’s all more or less from Sniper’s perspective, I love the way the rivalry makes him disregard questioning Spy’s actions beyond “he’s trying to antagonize me” like when he was looking at him while he was driving? Perfect characterization. Obviously you don’t have to finish it but I would love it if you did, fantastic work <3
heyyyy lol, thank you for all the compliments, it means so much to me!
I am still working on that fic! I had a crazy spring semester at school and it took away from the time I set aside to write.
My school year is over so I’m hoping to update it soon :)
the tf2s
this started as a joke
my first post on tumblr after like 7/8 years?? and my first tf2 fanart since about 2013! used to be fairly active on here and my old blog is long deleted along with a bunch of work :( if i ever see any of my 10+ year old fanart i'll reblog it for a laugh. enjoy!

In Spy's defense, he has a concussion. Although even without one he would think this was a decent attempt at saying something nice. He's just not very good at it.

but i did so now i have to dump it somewhere
