Crowd of grey Pyros is cheering and circling around unknown borealis of vibrant, colorful light rays coming from the high pile of broken TVs, in the empty midnight wheat field.
made in Garry's Mod :D
Engie amongst the ruins on a blank scenery, seemingly furious holding double-barrelled shotgun looking at the viewer. Two fantom Spy hands, symbolically, are ready to backstab from behind, the knife peeks out from his leg and leaking the blood out. Title above says "I'm an fucking artist, and if I'll need it - I will fight."
Masculine-looking figure of a gladiator with dark cape, the very symbolic helmet and Scotsman's Skullcutter, be standing on a mountains of defeated bots and piercing through Robo-Pyro's steel head with Skullcutter, while bare-handily decapitating Robo-Scout behind. Not even looking. The prismatic, rainbow-colored-pearlscent-even rays of light, matter and, presumably, clear power, are emitting in skies above him.
tumblr post from mysteryjunoskulls that says: Controversial opinion But the reason why I think the tf2 fandom is "dying" out is because of the fact that no one truly gives appreciation/support to the people that are keeping the fandom/game alive via modding, art, writing etc etc. The main people who complain about the game dying are people who look at what the creativity minds of the community and actively spit on it either saying "IT DOESN'T FIT THE ARTSTYLE" or "GOOD LUCK TRYING TO RUN THAT BY VALVE" but yet actively beg for people to scream at valve to give us another update. We need to rely on the community to keep the ship going and that means giving our support to modders, programmers, artists, writers. It's obvious Valve doesn't really care as long as they're getting money from crates and keys. If we keep on listening to people like ZestyJesus or just anyone else who spews that bullshit and actively continue to shit towards our fellow mercenaries (Fans) then we'll crash and burn for sure. But hey what do I know I joined back in 2016.
