I’ve moved to @svndancer if you don’t already know. Drafts will be continued over there. If you have drafts you’re still up for keeping with me, please tag my new blog somewhere in the post so I know. Otherwise I’ll be occasionally checking my activity feed here for a week-ish just in case.

[[ Progress has been stalled, fuck. Gonna use this time to just... Look through my drafts and determine which ones will be dropped and which ones will stay. Just makes my job easier.

IM me if you wanna chat, cause *Facedesk* Day isn’t going too well. ]]

most intense moments in overwatch

the exact moment your mech gets destroyed and you have exactly one (1) second to calculate every risk in a 100 meter radius before your 150-hp ass gets eliminated 

 when you’re playing as junkrat and see “TRIGGERED” and have to remember where you laid down the trap and immediately pump five grenades in its general direction 

 the milliseconds you have to hope the roadhog who hooked you shoots just a Little Too Late so you can get away 

 when you’re playing a sniper and you spot the enemy sniper and you’re both looking at each other and both shooting and both missing and the Entire World is just the two of you, locked in this stalemate, doing the ancient shitty sniper tango

If this gets 50 notes I’ll tell you all how badly I pronounced torbjörn’s name when I first played overwatch.

Gabriel's "Omnic Rights" Speech

I literally cannot stress how important it is that Gabriel is the one sympathizing or being understanding towards Omnics, a “minority” that he himself DIRECTLY fought against and defeated in wartime. This is REALLY BIG for his character and shows a depth that I think many fans knew he had/was capable of but had little to no canon to stand on. Now that he has this, it’s great proof that him and his later persona of Reaper are not “mindless hate monsters/machines” but individuals fully capable of agency, emotional reasoning, critical insight, and empathy. The fact that Gabriel is aware and implied to be supportive of a group - however extreme - that is fighting to claim their rights and stand their group is an indication that Blizzard is moving his character in a good direction.

I feel pretty firm in saying that “Reaper” is likely Chaotic Good-Neutral with hard views on himself, Overwatch/Blackwatch, “the conspiracy,” and the ability to believe that sometimes “the ends do justify the means.” This makes fan theories that Infiltration Reaper is “in on the plan” much more likely, and provides set up for a possible redemption arc Soon™ (Blizzard Soon).

I’m okay with your history. It made you who you are. And I happen to be in love with who you are.

“Call me a broad one more time and I cook your hide and serve it to ya on a platter,” she snarled. Damn, hit a nerve.

“You’re fucking biased as fuck from one event that happened. A rebellion happens for a reason, so what the fuck did your country do to the omnics to cause this? Huh? You can’t only blame the omnics. Since the Crisis ended they’ve been treated like shit, even those who didn’t and still don’t want to fight. The thing you should be more concerned about was the Crisis. Yeah, people die. People died to other people once upon a time, too. Think many of ‘em let their enemy flee? I sure as hell don’t, and wouldn’t do it myself!

Maybe you should think about the actions of the people around you before pointing a finger at omnics. There’s two sides to every story, get that through your thick skull and pull your head out of your ass!”

“Don’t start with me ya broad, have you lived in a city that is still rebuildin’ to this day thanks to those damn oil suckin’ bastards!? Have ya seen what happens when they are taken over by god programs thanks ta Overwatch’s  negligence ta fully shut down the God Programs in both Belfast and Dublin!?”

“Have ya seen yer friends get blown ta smithereens, yer cousins gunned down, their necks snapped when tryin’ ta run away from ‘em thanks to said Omnics and their damn rebellion! Ya ‘aven’t seen what those bastards can do and I pray to the lord above that you don’t at all.”

( this is a really good explanation! i completely agree with what you’ve said here, especially the point about villains generally having a warped sense of good. everyone’s the hero of their own story, as the saying goes.

to me, the most INTERESTING part of exploring characters of questionable morals is how they justify their actions and behaviors to themselves. i like digging into their heads and coming to understand their perspective, even if it’s deeply flawed. real neat stuff. )

[[ Ah I’m so glad you got it! I can be terrible with explanations.

Yes! That psychological stuff, its fascinating. Seeing an angle outside of what you are told by the ‘hero’ is always interesting because its another perspective, and to be able to sympathize with a character so demonized in a story. Ugh I am weak to it! I’ve had characters where I would rather the villain succeed than the hero. There are so many deep villains, and that saying right there, the ‘everyone’s the hero of their own story’ is what fuels that.

It helps that, for the most part, humanity has strong morals. We want to do good, we want people to be safe and we don’t like when bad things happen at the hands of another person or even nature. We want to help. So being faced with a character that feels so similar but is willing to do anything to do something they believe in is just. Wow, its something new. When a writer goes in depth about a villain, I am an immediate fan, bro. ]]
