Right I’m listening to Miss Pauling’s new lines and there’s one where she’s at a book club, but she’s never read the book they’re talking about.
So she’s like “guy meets girl, typical relationship stuff, right? oh okay I’m gonna tell these people how much I’m rooting for them then”.
The book is Lolita.
Okay there’s one where she’s at a key party and she has no idea what a key party is so she thinks they’re “trading houses or something” GOD she at least said no when they asked for her keys so
I AM IN AWE OF HOW SHELTERED WORKING 364 DAYS A YEAR HAS MADE PAULING HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW YOUR POISON BUT NOT KNOW THAT RACOONS HAVE RABIES
Spy is training Miss Pauling to play piano with electroshock SPY NO
She geeked out at a clipboard convention with Bidwell and enjoyed a Gun Show (she apparently had no fucking clue gun shows were real) with Heavy and said “Scout keeps saying he’ll take me to a gun show but all he does is show me his stupid arms”
On a rewatch of Expiration Date, something caught my eye. In the beginning, he wakes Scout to take the call. It was a video call, no hands required and noone else was on the road. It was a call he could’ve taken, or made Soldier
take. It stands to reason that if Heavy could believe that Spy was
Scout’s father, he’d figure out something as obvious as Scout liking
Miss Pauling.
Why
would he? Well, Scout is a lot less of an asshole when Miss Pauling
is around. Spy probably isn’t the only one who’s been defaced with
Scout’s drawings.
But,
I think even deeper, if you look at scenes in MVM trailer, or Heavy
with his family, or his lines with Medic, you’ll see a pattern.
Heavy
is deeply loyal, and far more shrewd that most people assume he is. He knows more
about the actual business than any of the other mercenaries. Everything from hiding his family from his employers back in Meet The Director, and refusing to open up to the director, which turned out to be a trap, to suspecting Miss Pauling’s intentions before any other mercenary, and doing everything he can to keep them secret. He is a roaring menace on the battlefield, but it is outside of the battlefield where he shows the true depth of his leadership and intelligence.
Being a defense class doesn’t just mean capping a point. He
takes care of his team, and he takes care of his family. Whether it
means trailing Miss Pauling and Soldier on a doomed mission to intercept
Gray Mann’s base, or nudging Scout, a teammate Heavy doesn’t even always get
along with that well in the right direction be it his possible family, or love. He watches over his comrades, protecting and guiding them, even at the cost of his own wants and needs, or his own glory.
