Magic spell or curse surely can make a tentaspy or someone so turned on and cause the faggotory easily when it comes to porn.
Why not use the official magic??

As hilarious as that spin is-- I didn't mean it that way. I meant a in, I don't think he would look at it in a spiritual sense. I don't want to say "religion" because that's completely not what I mean. Um. Acknowledging that yes, ghosts exist, and vampires, and wizards... so does grass and the sun. Thinking of it in a sort of way where there's not much to think about instead of treating it in the way a seer/tarot-reader would, or the way John Edward and his fanbase do. No mysticism to it, just taking it as it is.

Still, I do like the "Scooby Doo without the man behind the mask" idea.

(There's already an anime of that, however! It's called Occult Academy. It's literally about a girl who deals with the occult but doesn't believe in it. It's pretty good.)

>(2) I don't think he would have any spirituality to go along with it, since I see him as largely a pessimist.

Holy shit, I can just imagine him going head-to-head with a vampire. A real vampire.
And the entire time he's just all 'ye bloody numpty, pretendin' ta be a vampire!' and scoffing at the guy while telling him all the vampire trivia that supposedly discredits his claims of vampirism.
He travels around the world in his free time, trying his best to discredit the existence of the supernatural while facing it all and not believing a damn word of it. He can take out any form of supernatural being but he's a pain in the ass to deal with because he'll berate you the entire time for believing in it.

For the supernatural headcanon:
(1) I imagine his family is kind of like a hereditary line of avatars and he can reach out and speak to his demolition-gifted ancestors. I dunno if HE knows that or not, though.
(2) I don't think he would have any spirituality to go along with it, since I see him as largely a pessimist.

My own headcanon: The RED one has Malcom X posters in his bedroom at home, and the BLU one has MLK Jr posters.
It makes sense to me because of the ways MLK and Malcom X went about the Civil Rights movement differently.

Also, Ullapool is a beautiful harbour town. If for some reason the team ever needed to make it across a body of water, Demo would be the go-to guy.

Asking people to write them like they're supposed to be isn't being the fandom police. It honestly galls me to hear people defend themselves by saying "oh, there's not much canon, you can't expect me to make them recognizable." There's loads of canon about the character's behaviour under tense circumstances, the way they address their friends and co-workers over the course of a day in the field, and so on, and so on. Like you said- it doesn't take years to pore over their emotes and responses from the game, and watch the videos about them. We don't know much about many of the characters' home lives or childhoods, but that doesn't mean they're mysterious figures with no defined personality.

I agree that guys without chest hair look strange (not that I'm particularly turned on by either), and that, yeah, big, buff bodybuilder types are sort of creepy.
Honestly, the only time I see shirtless dudes is at home because our AC breaks down all the time. I don't know, it just seems sort of iffy to walk around shirtless where we live for whatever reason; people here are so high class. However, there's more than a few dudes here do have enough chest hair to start peeking out of their polo shirts, so I guess that counts for something?
Backing up a bit, it just occurred to me that girls who like the smooth, younger-looking guys tend to do so because of perceived femininity: the guys appear more thoughtful and sensitive than someone with any real definition or body hair, I guess?

i have been carrying a conversation about body hair for two days whaaaat.

On a different note, based on certain events: people writing fanfiction where the characters are the characters in name only. I'm not trying to be a fandom policeman or anything, but I just feel that you'd be better off writing an original story than a fanfiction. especially since the fanfiction in question didn't even bother describing much in the way of the characters' appearances There is plenty of very consistent canon to go by and it doesn't take a lot of effort to flip through the relevant "Meet the Team"s, comics and quotes. I don't think it's too much to ask to put forth that effort if you're going to publish a supposedly TF2 story on a site pretty much dedicated to Team Fortress 2

I lived in Florida for a time (near Tampa- Palm Harbor, actually, which is sort of halfway between Tampa and St. Petersberg), and even there I saw chest hair. But then again, I grew up in New York State- the 'burbs, not the city (we were gone from there by the time I was 5- before that, we lived in the Bronx), and my uncle Pasquale (aka Pat) was even hairier than my Dad is... Dad has a bathmat, Uncle Pat had a full-on wall to wall carpet as far as chest hair goes. And Hi back!

As for me, I actually think complete lack of chest hair is/can be a turn-off. To me, it looks strange and almost unnatural- but it also depends on the guy. Just as, to me, some of the 'roided-up weightlifter guys look strange and unnatural and almost inhuman. It's not natural to have arm or leg muscles larger than your own head! And I guess that carries over into lack of chest hair for me. When I think of guys lacking chest hair, I get one of two reactions, "Too young for me." or "Ew, not human/too shaved/any sweat or oil and his chest will turn into a slip and slide."

Haha, I'd like to note that I'm not speaking for myself when I say that! However, where I live, beaches aren't nearby and I actually have a few friends who (probably in part due to their religious backgrounds?) don't really see shirtless guys--even in their own home. Two of whom are freaked at the sight of a lot of chest hair. I dunno, maybe I'm using a minority as an example for how the majority acts, idk.
Also, greetings from GA!

I do however expect to see an origin to Pyro's original flamethrower and how it came to be, like how MtM showed the origin of the uber.

And i'm hoping that something happens soon. Like, maybe the Saxxys? That'd be neat.

If you go to the beach around here, even today, you see guys with chest hair. And not just a little- some guys have a LOT. I was unaware that you could grow up today and not see anyone with some fur on their bodies (so to speak). Wow, living in NJ, I must be out of the loop! And Italian men, like those in my family, tend to be "shave yourself so you look human" types. My Dad has not only chest hair, but back hair, too.

Also, yeah, pretty sure the nude and even shirtless gmod models are re-skins.
I can see why fans are sort of grossed out by body hair, I'm afraid to admit. Especially the younger ones. Something about not growing up with shirtless men, media in general going for a smoother look in both men and women, and so on. Not that the sight of body hair on a man should necessarily cause instant revulsion, either.

Maybe the fact that they call him Pyro, rather than Pyromaniac, or Pyrotechnician, is intentional. It's so he can be a combination of the two. Pyrotechnicians are usually more associated with fireworks and such, anyway. Rarely just flamethrowers.
