Don't mind me, just sitting here, drinking tea, having too many feelings about cartoon mercenaries..

Spoilers, obviously.

So the last chapter of the comic didn't go so well for Sniper.

**hugs!** I can definitely sympathize with the agony of wondering "Will they?!" I worried like that about Rumpel at the season 3 mid-season finale. Of course, considering what was actually done to him after that, it probably would have been better for him to have stayed dead.

Since the TF2 writers are surely better at storylines than the Once creators, one would certainly hope that they have a decent future in store for Sniper! I would assume that the writer just teased the pic to get the fandom in a tizzy and Sniper is still alive, but there's always that tinge of concern ... "will they?!"

I HAD to go back and edit the entry with something Rae and I talked about.

Yeeeeeeaaah, Rumpel (and most of the rest of the cast) got shafted pretty hard by the time I threw up my hands and gave up on things, and it sounds like it's only gotten worse. As in, the writing on Lost sounds less atrocious.

All of the dead!Sniper jokes the comic artist has been making actually reassure me a little, but there's still that lingering worry that Medic will do something shady...lookit him, all helpless in Medic's...strange infirmary...garage...thing.

[insaneladybug]

ROTFLOL. That's certainly an amusing conversation!

Oh my. I suppose that's possible; maybe their writing only gets worse through the years and not better. In any case, I will probably never try Lost after attempting Once, even if it isn't as much of a headache.

Yeah, the jokes add to the idea that it's probably just a tease. But when it's Medic, yeeeah, still some concern, definitely.

[ladyamberjo]

Sniper needs a Big Damn Heroes moment after being crowned King of the Woobies by the events of the last comic.

Oh, Lost will give you a headache, but for different reasons. And then the same reason.

I'm worried about that box of apparently-straw in the foreground, there. What exactly does Medic need a box of straw for? Did Classic Sniper want our Sniper stuffed and mounted as a trophy kill?

[insaneladybug]

Yes!

LOL. Magic rocks....

That is a highly disturbing thought.

[ladyamberjo]

I saw someone on Tumblr say they wanted something nice for Sniper just do the fandom will make some Sniper-related work that isn't pure heartcrushing angst.

They weren't even trying at that point. I've seen better plot-resolutions from the '60s Batman series.

Stuffed for a trophy, used for science...Sniper is not in a good position right now.

[insaneladybug]

That would be nice. Angst is good, but so is squee.

LOL. I can believe it.

**shudders.** Indeed not.
