TF2 Headcanons: Game Balance & The Gunslinger

So, let’s get right to it.

Gunslinger:

Obviously, the RED Engineer invented it first with the help of the RED Medic. The BLU Engineer never asked his team’s Medic for help due to the rocky relationship the entire BLU team has, so he could never figure out how to bridge the gap between man and machine. BLU Engie just found the blueprints for the Gunslinger design at the front of his door one day, complete with notes from the RED Medic and Engineer on how the wiring and circuits could function as nerves. BLU Engie immediately took to building it, but ran into a problem once he finished.

How would he remove his hand?

The RED Medic had helped his team’s Engie with removing the hand precisely so that the nerves would connect with the wiring of the machine. But there was no way the BLU Engineer would ever ask his Medic, considering how snappy he got. So BLU Engineer went into the day’s round of fighting, only to be absolutely obliterated by an Ubered RED Medic and Battle Engineer. After the humiliating defeat, BLU Engineer just says screw it and slices his hand clean off.

He, of course, ended up with an infection that forced him to go to the BLU Medic for help, who did his best to try and fix the problem. It was pretty hard to fix completely without regrowing his entire hand back, so he ended up with constant hand pain.

But how did BLU Engineer end up with the blueprints at his door?

Well that leads us to our next topic…

Game Balance:

The Administrator’s job is to make both teams as balanced as possible. She was the one who proposed the idea of clones to Blutarch, which Blutarch screwed up with his desire to make the BLU team superior to the RED team. If she could, the Administrator would definitely make a new set of clones for the BLU team, but cloning people is extremely expensive. So the Administrator tries to make the game more balanced, by giving all weapons that the RED team invents to the BLU team, and taking weapons that have too much power.

The RED team often works together to try and make new weapons that will make fighting easier, but overnight, the weapon will either disappear or be “nerfed” (aka components that make it too overpowered will be removed). However, once a weapon achieves balance, a copy is sent to the BLU team. Some of the RED team have suspicions about their disappearing weapons, but there isn’t much they can do about it. It’s either accept it as the norm or get fired.

So, the Administrator gave the BLU Engineer the Gunslinger to “balance” the teams. The Administrator couldn’t directly help the BLU team though, so they kept getting dominated by the RED team. The Administrator often sends Miss Pauling to provide the BLU team more support, but Miss Pauling doesn’t really care for the BLU team much. They’re never as lively or as fun as the RED team, and they don’t treat her as a friend and more as an uncaring employer. She definitely prefers the RED team over them, but she still needs to follow the Administrator.

Now, as I mentioned in my last post, I considered the RED Pyro to only be a suit brought to life with magic, and the BLU Pyro a crude mechanical version of it. A more detailed version of what I think of it will be up in a few days, and I apologize for the delay on that.

Thank you for all of the support on the last post! I spent the past few days just staring at the number of notes going up and reading the tags on reblogs and it just made me explode on the inside lol. I’ll be posting more of these headcanon posts, but instead of packing a ton of headcanons into one post I’ll spread them out a bit more so I’ll have time to come up with new ones. Thank you to everyone who reblogged and left all those nice words. It really encourages me to write more in this fandom, hell even in general.

TLDR: THANK YOU

hosonaga doodles he is my Pou

idea. it fits. it works. hosonaga travels to britain is a wip, written shit probably won’t come in a while (made in objection.lol)

^ above idea from really good friend on discord <3

I am still so angry that we didn't see those two interact with each other more. Like you have 2 detectives who like disguises and will use some fucked up illegal methods to solve a mystery. IT WRIGHTS ITSELF! Just imagine them working together, that would be chaos which Ryuu has to fix. Not only we gonna dance around the dead body but also would try to figure out why some suspicious fellows have their things missing.(And not because I want more Hosonaga in the game 'cause he deserves it)

This really was just supposed to be a shitpost but I got carried away

Anyways. Welcome to “going into the pit blind and got your ass handed to you by three Fears with my pal cruel king (who only lived for one and a half round may he rest in peace)”, with god awful pacing

Some unused frames below the cut

I like your Satoru Hosonaga is Miles & Gregory Edgeworth’s ancestor theory, and it's my theory too now. However the cheekbones, Hosonaga is implied to have tuberculosis, and people with TB tends to get thinner and thinner, making their cheekbones more prominent. Search for images of Okita Sōji before (on Wikipedia) getting the illness and after, it's quite terrifying..!

Ooh! I searched it up, but didn't find anything on it on the Okita Sōji article sadly. But that does make a lot of sense! He always seemed really skinny and frail lmao--nice to know that there's a reason behind it. I'll do more research on the illness in the meantime. For me this can go two ways. One could be that the tuberculosis caused the pronounced cheekbones, or the other being that it made it more present (if that makes any sense? i'm super tired rn hahdshabfs)

Should I do more posts about this theory/au? I don't really post much nowadays, but I'll accept asks about it to get more content for this blog hhhh

221B family!

(please ignore Naruhodo's spine problems he's had a rough time)

it’s like christmas morning
