Hehehe, thanks. I feel like sometimes people can forget these guys are all trained professionals (or their work doesn't really come up much if it's a slice of life/romance/characters talking kind of story), and I've been doing my best to consider each character's skills and method, as I figure out how they deal with the challenges and incidents that keep impeding their progress. Even Demoman may seem like a bumbling drunk, but in the video, he himself emphasizes that an incompetent demoman doesn't live very long. I'd said earlier that joual!BLU Spy isn't intended as some kind of OC Spy. I am trying to write him as having a somewhat different attitude and method than RED Spy, without strongly deviating from canon in either Spy's case. I imagine BLU as a rougher around the edges, less flirtacious, and more avoidant of open combat when his own success is not 99% guaranteed(cowardly, you could say, or maybe furtive). Even so, I've still basically tried to keep him depicted like any good Spy- he's clever, two-faced, resourceful, and using grit and hidden spy tools to deal with the dangerous situation he's in. Ever since I considered the implications of- actually, fuck it, this is starting to be more of a discussion than a reply to a reader's comment. Imma post the rest of my thoughts in Discussion, if any other writers/readers want to talk.
