One thing I would've changed about the 7th TF2 comic would've been to keep the mercs as mercs instead of them (or some of them) fully giving it up.
Like, instead of working for whatever the hell Mann Co ended up doing, they became a group of mercenary freelancers together like how the Team Fortress Classic mercs did.
For example, Spy and Engineer (or maybe even Miss Pauling) being in charge of accepting jobs and assigning themselves and the others to what specific job the assignment needs.
Rich guy needs a bodyguard for a week? Get Heavy and keep Sniper on standby just in case.
Need someone assassinated and another guy framed? Engie just finished upgrading Spys disguise kit!
Need a building burnt to the ground with no survivors? The mercs are already drawing straws for who gets to supervise Pyro this time.
All the while, they're also raising their kids/baboon as mercs, too! (All right, kids, who's ready to learn how to do medicine with Uncle Ludwig!) Soldiers' daughter already knows how to snap necks, Scouts blonde son looks like he bites, and I'm honestly surprised no one's drawn Scouts daughter Tanya as a Spy yet.
I really do love the ending of Comic 7, but I'm just saying, a work-balance exists.
(I also would've had Heavy and Medic wear wedding rings, but that's just me)
OMG????? IT SOUNDS SO GREAT ALREADY!!
A snip pit of the fic !'m writing that's heavily based on @randomhedgie SWTD Au!

“Gregor I wasn't stationed near the helipad yesterday, I was in engineering?”
The rig shook violently, followed by the roar of screeching metal as the rig swayed. The crates slammed into his shoulder. His foot slipped when another explosion shook the rig, he saw archie holding onto the helicopter.
“Gregor? What's wrong-”
Caz is running towards him, when did he get here? Gregors hands are slipping. air is whipping at his face the ocean waves roar in his ears, he’s falling and then-
“GREGOR”
He chokes, his lungs filling with water air faster than his brain can catch up. The wind whips at his face as he falls, his body crashing to the floor. He doesn't know when his legs gave out under him or his hands gripped the sides of his head to try and muffle the roar of rushing blood in his ears
Oil rig workes force Rennick to say sorry. Nothing unusual.)
Who the hell is Simon????
Thought I could start working on the next part of my video, only to finally figure out where the text file for all the mutated crewmate lines are.
I, I'm flabbergasted, there are SO MANY unused ones. Rennick has SO MANY. Ok, here they are:
Addair:
Gibbo:
Muir:
Out of all of them, I think he has the least unused lines? Tho I focused so much on recording his lines, that I can instantly tell which ones I heard or not.
Rennick (get your popcorn these are SPICY):
Trots (Why does he have SO MANY):
And here are the reactions Caz does to each "Puppet"
There are more interesting unused lines, but I have to go back and focus on what I wanted to do. Enjoy these screenshots!
Whatever happened to hello or how are you?
Sorry ..........
"MOMMY! DADDY! I JUST WANNA GO HOME!!!!"
