Not-Your-Scout

This is a blog for my oc Alex who is both a horror oc and a tf2 oc that I have instantly grown attached to, I can and will get annoying about him this is your only warning.

Actual Warnings for Blood, Gore, Violence and Death, along with horror themes such as body horror, an unexplainable sense of dread over something seemingly and otherwise normal, someone not being who they are percieved to be, a specific take on the 'came back wrong' trope, and supernatural events happening to one's surroundings

please heed these warnings, if any of this makes you uncomfortable you do not have to stick around, curate your own space, don't stay on my behalf or because you want to write with me. i have another tf2 blog over there in that little side bar, go check that out

any affiliations will be seen here

The Story

The Red team's scout has missing and turns back up almost a week later, hurt and covered in dirt. And after a rapid recovery, things go back to normal, and their scout seems just as fine as he was before. But, If it weren't for there being something ever so slightly off with the youngest mercenary that none of the others could easily shake, and the way the simplest, unchanged things look alarmingly different, everyone else would've been able to confirm that things were fine.

They all try to ignore the growing unease, and the strange happenings that surround the incident, but it feels like everything is going wrong by the day, and until they can figure out what's actually happening, it's not going to keep getting worse.

and they do try to figure it out, but trying is difficult when you're stuck in the middle of the woods with limited resources and whatever useful information you can use being in a town over 10 miles away.

Rules

Selectivity

this blog is for writing with tf2 roleplayrs and close friends, I am rather reluctant to follow anyone outside of my friend group or the fandom im currently writing for.

Activity

I might not be very active, on top of art, I also have obligations elsewhere and won't always be here to do stuff. If I'm not here, I'm likely somewhere else or off the internet entirely.

Shipping

I will ship just about anyting with alex, including toxic relationships. Save for anything regarding "proship" dynamics (incest, pedophilia, bestiality. I don't want these things in my space thank you). I also won't be shipping him with any Spies, this is for my own comfort more than anything else, and I have nothing against spy muses/spy ocs. If do you want to write a ship with me involving your spy guy I have Pyro and Soldier available over on My other tf2 blog.

Comms & blocking

I preffer communicating through tumblr IMs more than anything as I don't really want to give out my discord and those who do have it are people who've known me for long enough to warrant messaging me through discord.

The block button is my friend and I see her often. Meaning, I will block anyone for any reason to keep my peace of mind. Sometimes I won't mesh with you for whatever reason and as such I might not want you in my space directly, this is nothing against anybody i just want to keep my blog curated, and I really hope you do the same so you can have your own peace.

Notes

  • sfm hates my computer specifically with a passion, any renders I make of my boy have been done in blender with help from tools I've found within the community, any editing is done in clip studio
  • I am encouraging you to make your silly little posters and renders with Alex, I will cherish them forever (if you don't have landfall, mountainlabs is fine)
  • this blog has side characters and npcs, you are free to interact with them as well as Alex, but none of them will be getting any proper pages or tags outside of general 'these guys exist' tags
  • You are free to send in asks and starters to me at any time at any given moment unprompted. this also includes asks about the overarching story of this blog
  • plot with me!! If a starter meme or an open i post isn't tickling your fancy you are free to come into IMs to plot, it will always be appreciated.
