Expiration Date

[ladyamberjo]

All in all it was hilarious. It was adorable. The amount of attention paid to different characters was a little unbalanced (Sniper and Pyro in particular got shafted in terms of screentime), but what there was of every character was fanatastic, and I've never loved Scout or Spy more

LOL. I just came from watching it! That was way cute and amusing. I love reading your observations on it, particularly about Spy wanting to spend his last days helping the others' wishes come true. Awww. And everyone pitching in to help with Scout's lesson.

Spy motivating Scout and then observing the date is so squeeable. I'll need to watch it again to catch all the little Sniper scenes you mentioned. It wasn't always easy to keep track of him. Pity they didn't let him talk!

A giant bread monster with teeth is a hilarious adversary. I couldn't stop laughing. And "I TELEPORTED BREAD!!!!1111" ROTFLOL.

I'm also getting way too much of a giggle out of Spy looking at Scout's weird pictures near the beginning, particularly the Eiffel Towel having stink lines. **headdesk.** Loved Scout coming to apologize.

Pauline is certainly a unique individual with unique interests.

How convenient; I just got home from work! I like how Tumblr's been awash in everyone reevaluating how evil Spy is lately. Scout hasn't been treated quite as kindly. I DON'T CARE EVERYONE IS PRECIOUS I LOVE THEM ALL. Scout usually gets written as the merc all the others hate, so it was nice to see the others caring about him

Yes, that's awesome that the fanbase is reevaluating their image of Spy! Pity Scout isn't being treated as kindly. He is definitely cared about by the other characters.

Hmmm. That's a good question. I'm honestly not sure.

ROTFLOL. That makes me think of my supervillain The Toastinator, which is either a giant sentient piece of toast or a guy dressed up like one, depending on my mood and the fandom he's in at the time.

LOL. Yes, I can imagine Tumblr is filled with artists who wanted to illustrate.

Ha! I hadn't thought of that comparison. Makes sense, though.

I'm hoping to see fewer Evil Rapist Spy fics in the future. And THANK YOU, it seems so obvious, but a lot of people apparently operate under the idea that if THEY hate a character, all of the other characters hate them, too.

Well...here's the Meet the Sniper video, if you're curious: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9NZDwZbyDus. The very first TF2 video I ever saw, way back. *nostalgic sigh*. It's a little bloodier than Expiration Date, but not super-gory, or anything. And Sniper DOES have a pleasant voice to listen to.

A guy dressed up as toast sounds hilarious...does he make lots and lots of bread puns?

Most of them are more hilarious and less obscene. But one must always remember the stink-lines.

I feel like I need to draw Charles and Miss Pauling going to a gun expo together, or something. Or Charles supplying the Klokateers with Mann Co. weaponry.
