#DVA Hi Emotions

[woundmypride]

not to be insane but also. to be insane...

i reallyyyyy miss the "hanzo acts like an older brother to dva" headcanon so i thought i should share my thoughts cause i havent seen content for it in so long ;_; be warned there are a lot of headcanons and some assumptions about canon events

- Neither of them got a normal childhood

Hanzo grew up in the Shimada Clan, an environment that expected the best from him at every moment. It was beaten into his mind that he was and had to be the best at everything, and that he had to be serious and calculated in order to serve his clan. His father had no room for childishness or fun, so neither should Hanzo. His seriousness at such a young age emotionally separated him from Genji and Kiriko, and likely other children his age. 

D.Va was drafted into MEKA at 19, which placed major responsibility and stress on her. Her hometown being attacked by omnics combined with having to fight them herself wore her down immensely. Once she began racking up wins (in video games and in fights with omnics), she became a young celebrity of decent size, even going so far as to star in movies. This amount of fame so young definitely had an impact on her mental. 

- They both see themselves as less than people or ignore their own feelings

Hanzo was raised to be an asset to the clan. He was meant to be a stoic leader, not an emotional one. I heavily doubt his father cared much about his feelings as a person, more so about whether he had traits useful to the clan. This idea has been internalized and follows him into adulthood, given how vain he is.

D.Va’s representation by the media shows her as a fearless fighter and an optimistic icon, harshly contradicting how much the omnics attacks and losses are weighing her down. Since the people of South Korea see her this way, she feels obligated to live up to this idea of herself. She also gets very invested in her work and tends to neglect things such as sleep when she is focused. 

On an unrelated note, I want to introduce a headcanon so I can elaborate on how they might interact: - D.Va reminds Hanzo of Genji

D.Va and Genji are, firstly, both gamers. This is the most glaringly obvious similarity to Hanzo, and it emotionally frustrates him to no end. 

They both stay glued to things, even when it becomes unhealthy (work, games, etc.). While this was more of a childhood trait for Genji, it still applies to D.Va. 

They’re both quick-witted with their humor and comebacks.

I think Hanzo and D.Va would have a lot of tension because of this (mostly on Hanzo’s side) when they first meet, which I might talk about in another post- but methinks when Hanzo notices D.Va is pushing herself too hard, it activates some weird older brother instinct in Hanzo. He's familiar with Genji staying up all night to play a video game, and since he knew he couldn't stop him, he simply brought food or company instead. He repeats this with D.Va as well. A lot of the things that Hanzo does for D.Va are projections of what he wished he could have done/used to do for Genji when they were kids.  thank u for reading i know this is super disorganized bc its been in my drafts forever u_u

A dumb little thing about who i think the f1 boys would main in overwatch based on my own perception of the idiots.

Max - Absolutely the annoying Genji main who spams I need healing but will also get a 5 stack on his own when he's on crit bc he's just that good.

Sergio - Mercy bc he'd just pocket Max all game and heal NO ONE else and get angry messages from the rest of the team about him not healing them. There's two healers for a reason in his eyes.

Carlos - Reinhardt but he's very chaotic and charges in swinging his hammer on his own and then kicks off when he immediately dies.

Charles - He'd play Echo and always flank the enemy healers when they were out of position so the rest of his squad can capitalise on capturing the point.

Lewis - Sombra bc he loves hacking everyone and pissing them off and then just yeeting out of there with his translocator. Absolutely stands invisible next to the enemy team spamming boop

George - He'd be that annoying Lucio that just wall rides everywhere and boops everyone off the side of the map and then do the dj emote he paid 8 quid for.

Lando - Widowmaker for sure. He's got a really good shot on him and would terrorise the poor enemy Mercy and snipe them out of spawn all the time.

Oscar - Junker Queen. Half bc she's an aussie and half bc no one else will play a tank. He only hopped on the game one time with Lando and now he's 400 hours deep.

Daniel - I think he'd like Orisa. He's definitely played a few different tanks bc he hates playing healer and Lando and Max would always hog the dps roles.

Yuki - Definitely DVA. He loves getting play of the game with his DVA bombs that he definitely just yeets into the enemy team and hopes to get a few kills.

Kevin - Torbjorn. He'd run around with his little hammer trolling his team and the enemy team and get no kills himself whilst his turret has 100.

Nico - Moira but a dps Moira. He hates playing healer but its the only role left so he picks the most dps healer and is a nightmare. Gets the most kills on the team and has 800 healing in a 10 minute match.

Esteban - Wrecking ball. He's actually good at him too but will still just swing around a point and keep hitting the enemy team off to stop them contesting.

Pierre - A really REALLY good Tracer. He jumps around everywhere and knows exactly which target to go for and when to back out and use his recall.

Zhou - Life weaver bc he isn't the best at aiming and wants to help the best he can so he plays healer. He's pretty good at prioritising his tank and other healer and lets the dps just do what they usually do.

Valtteri - Symmetra. Definitely spams the sentries outside of spawn so the squishes will just instantly die and the team gets staggered. Actually pretty good and skilled with her.

Lance - Junkrat bc he's annoying af and he loves just standing behind a wall spamming his bombs into the air in the hopes he might kill someone. Would only end up with like 3 kills too.

Fernando - Mauga. Man's a machine and so is Fernando. You know he loves terrorising tf out of the enemy team with his massive machine guns.

Alex - Reaper main through and through. He's really good too which makes it even more annoying bc he can wipe a full team on his own if he really tries. Definitely in a mini war with Max to get the most kills in a game.

Logan - Soldier 76 sorry not sorry. He's not very good at OW and is more of a COD boy so picks the most generic easy to play hero he can.

I WAS WONDERING WERE THIS WAS-

First of all, I am a "Cassidy is a romance fan" truther so to see you give him the romance skin is absolutely fantastic, no note on that.

Honestly no notes on any of them, this is fantastic. The Ashe mythic is amazing and really well thought out. Also D.VA being “Children’s TV” is absolutely amazing, I could imagine that seeing being themed after Disney shows specifically.

And RIP Lucio not getting the musical theater skin, I understand why he wouldn't get it as a lot of his skins are music themed and Venture with an umbrella is amazing.

The cooking Junkrat skin scares me though... who let that man in a kitchen let alone though it would be a good idea to make a show out of it.

Overall this concept is so fun!! I really enjoyed reading it and actually hope something like this happens in the future!!

[ow-anteater]

Some more things I want in OW2

Rein gets an armor-less skin. Just a beefy dude in a t-shirt and shorts with a hammer

A part of Pharah’s skill tree unlocks the ability to summon the junior soccer team she coaches on weekends who pelt the enemy team in slightly deflated footballs

One of the young, cool characters says either ‘uwu’ or ‘hewwo’ - Sigma confusedly repeats

Doom menacingly plays a grande piano

Genji uses the little ears on his helmet to emote with or his lights turning red/pink when he’s embarrassed

There’s an ikea manual in torbs workshop

The game asks you to sign a gentleman’s agreement to never play Roadhog or Moira in ffa

New voice line simply saying ‘nice’ that, for at least McCree, Dva, Lúcio, Genji and Moira, plays automatically at 69% capture

Boob physics but only for Hanzo’s singular tit

[jackalopedoodles]

First Glamrock Freddy now Glamrock Chica!!

Mix’s ponytail, legwarmers, and smile are literally my favorite parts of this drawing.

Minor Spoilers down below along with my thoughts for this drawing!

GLAMROCK CHICA!!!

I HATE BEAKS. SO MUCH. I was kind of dreading this one because I hate drawing birds in any sort of cartoon way. While wings are nice and cool beaks are so frustrating  and difficult to figure out. But I wanted to finish at least the main four this time, (I’ve always stopped at her last) and I really wanted her to be next because she’s the very second animatronic you get a chance to see (If we don’t include the vents scenes.)

So for the Full Birb drawing unfortunately, as I’ve said before, I can’t do birbs very well. I can’t draw beaks or get a feel for their anatomy, like how do they have necks!? Is it not just body??? Anyways, tried for some new angles and gave her the garbage she likes to eat. Some selfish little part of me likes to headcanon that she has eating problems, be that eating too much, or throwing up, or only feeling hungry at certain times. I don’t know maybe there’s a better reason for her to be  eating garbage. 

Mix is literally my favorite out of this whole thing. Her smile! Her ponytail! Her Leg warmers! Her wings!!! I did a really good outline of a cute tail too but unfortunately the wings had to cover them up. I love her earrings here too, I almost debated making them more complicated, but I won’t. Not right now. Honestly her design as a while is fairly easy, it’s a lot of circles and triangles and just managing to fit them together nicely to establish a dangerous but soft looking character. The boob window was actually a happy accident, I wanted something to interrupt right under the pectorals just like with Freddy because that’s where their animatronic plating is split in the original design. With Freddy that’s where his button up ended and became pants and for the leotard here I needed something to break it up while still keeping it a solid piece.

Full human! This one I’m a little nervous about. I have her hair down for one, because I’m starting to like drawing these characters in these poses where their most recognizable trait is taken away and trying to make them still them. Plus by taking away these big things that make them seem commercialized I feel like it gives them a bit of humanity and actual character. So the idea is that Chica hides, a lot, be it hiding scars with her leg warmers, putting on a full face of make up, or even in this scenario, when she’s talking about something shes nervous about, pulling her hair down and hiding behind it. Another thing that is just such a innately human thing that makes her stand out from the Character that Freddy Fazbears Entertainment is trying to force her to be.

Chibi Birb Chica was a lot of fun but also a bit of work. I kind of wanted to keep the idea of the toy chica cheeks staying on this time as well, but obviously in her original design she has the cheek triangles already, so instead I moved them up to showcase her eyes a bit more since she doesn’t have the radiant make up that Freddy so proudly owns. Gave her a rounded beak, her triangle earrings and eyebrows for good measure, because while I’m good, I’m not good enough to try and make any sort of emotion with a beak instead of a mouth, So I just went for an almost quizzical look hahaha. 

Chibi Human Chica was kind of fun, though I wish I could’ve added some more details to her. Or at least made her feel more finished. I like her ponytail here, but I almost like chibi birbs better for it’s more simplistic and shapely design.  I also made the cheek marks thinner and more daintier here, not sure why, I think it just fit better. Almost makes her look like DVA. This bow is probably my favorite out of all the ones I’ve done and you can only see half of it.

Anyways, that’s all of my main notes and thoughts, if you’re wanting anything extra just take a glance at the picture itself. If you would like a photo id just dm or comment and I’ll reblog with a detailed description to help people! 

[thebadgerclan]

At Inej’s request, she and Kaz go on a pilgrimage to Ravka.  Along with others who worship the Sun Saint, they visit the locations that played an important role in Sankta Alina’s sainthood and martyrdom.  Dva Stolba, where she was born, Keramzin, where she grew up, her rooms and the training grounds at the Little Palace, where she honed her power, the White Cathedral, where she took and her followers found shelter, and of course, the grey sands of the Unsea

The place is marked simply, with a thorn wood branch tied with gold and blue ribbons.  The Soldat Sol stand guard, honoring their saint as well as ensuring the pilgrims respect such a holy place.  Their guide pauses a few paces away from the thorn wood, raising her hands, pleading silence.  “This is the place,” she intones.  “Where the Sun Summoner, Sankta Alina, gave her life for Ravka, destroying the Shadow Fold and reuniting our great nation.”

Inej, overwhelmed by emotion, falls to her knees, prayers to Sankta Alina leaving her lips.  Kaz does not believe in Saints, he never has, but he can’t help but admire Inej’s commitment to her faith.  And he watches her, head bowed in reverent prayer, hands folded before her face.  He doesn’t want to speak, to interrupt what he knows is a sacred moment for her, but he feels compelled to comfort her in some way; to remind her that he is there with her.  So Kaz reaches out and places a gloved hand on her shoulder, squeezing gently.  Inej startles, but relaxes, reaching up and covering his hand with her own.  Despite the tears rolling down her face, she is happy.  She is honoring her saint, Sankta Alina, and Kaz is with her; the two most important things in her life.

(This idea has been rattling around in my head for DAYS, so here we are)

Seventeen headcanons: seventeen as streamers (hyung line)

a/n: i watched the christmas in summer gose and now i need to make this or i’ll die lmao

maknae line

-

Seungcheol

this boy can and will rage at every single game he plays

has a set game that he typically plays but sometimes does variety if his friends nag him enough

but he won’t play horror games except one time when he hit a subscriber milestone and he made wonwoo sit in with him but he still got so scared he accidentally turned his stream off but decided to just not turn it back on lmao

he’s one of those dudes that like strictly plays cod or fortnite or overwatch yknow those kinds of streamers. he has one game he always plays and doesnt stray from it too often

but then like 5 of his friends will be in discord spamming him to play minecraft with them

and he still manages to yell because he keeps dying to creepers or soonyoung accidentally set their house on fire

tbh he can get kinda toxic,,,,,,

he’s one of those streamers that’s popular because he rages tho

like jay3

“CHEOL THERES A BUG ON YOU” *cue instant rage*

-

Jeonghan

he’s one of those male streamers that has a lot of subs bc everybody simps for them

not that he’s not good and/or entertaining, it’s just a lot of people simp for this man

and he knows it and he will openly fish for simps lmao he’s shameless

rages but at a lesser scale than seungcheol

it’s not really raging it’s more just like,,,,,quietly getting tilted lmao

lot’s of sighs and swearing under his breath and “are you serious/kidding me”

can also be toxic

plays whatever’s popular

plays games in cosplays randomly if he gets enough donations or subs or whatever

like playing overwatch in dva cosplay or ddlc in sayori cosplay or whatever

has a channel points thing where he’ll make an onlyfans but it was like an outrageous amount of channel points but somebody managed to redeem it so he ended stream lmao

people still ask him about it and it’s become basically a meme in his chat

-

Joshua

just ur typical streamer

has a few games he cycles through but will do other stuff with friends at least once a week

he’s a smaller streamer bc he’s just kinda doing it for funsies

not super rage-y but does get angy depending on the game

lots of talking to his chat and lots of meme-ing in games

it’s like 50% tryharding and 50% giggling and making content

probably has a Jarms (joshua arms) emote that a sub made for him lmao

his community may be on the smaller side compared to some of his friends but they’re very loyal and they’re kind and they’re fuckin hilarious

he often gets roasted/meme’d by his audience it’s great

he used to have a thing where if you got enough channel points you could redeem a thing where he’ll duo in a game w cheol and do poorly on purpose to make him angry for content lmao

but cheol found out and got even more angry so he had to get rid of it lmao

-

Junhui

you wanna know why he has subs?

it’s because he has half a braincell and just happens to get lucky when it comes to games

like with getting over it how he randomly yeeted himself up pretty far

he just accidentally does well and it’s fucking hilarious

he doesn’t need to create content on purpose, it just happens

he’s so wholesome he’s truly a family friendly channel

makes weird noises when he plays lmao

variety streamer but mostly plays with friends and doesn’t often play solo

gets really giggly and lowkey flustered when his chat compliments him

he checks chat often and tries to interact w his audience a lot but there’s a lot of people now lmao

he doesn’t understand how he got so many subs tbh like even he says he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he’s “bad at games” but everyone is like “NO NO YOU’RE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE”

his entire community and even his friends’ communities would protect him at all costs everyone loves jun

-

Soonyoung

like jun, he has a lot of subs simply because he is: dumb

has shut off his stream on accident multiple times

plays games that don’t require too much skill so basically not a lot of fps stuff where you have to be good to do well

only ever plays with friends so yes he’s a variety streamer

or he’ll play with his subscribers and stuff which he also really enjoys

plays a lot of like minecraft and fall guys and dead by daylight and things like that

stuff where he can be stupid and sometimes get lucky and win or do well lmao

gets excited bc he thinks he did something but his friends are like “bro u just died” lmao

or things where other people can do everything for him (like minecraft)

will play random games people suggest without looking into them so like the amount of times he’s gotten roped into playing horror games and just has a heart attack on stream is insane

but he always finishes whatever game he starts

nobody knows why he decided to become a streamer anyway like wonwoo had to teach this man how to use a computer ok

-

Wonwoo

yknow how some streamers get popular bc they’re genuinely good or they rage a lot or they’re just positive and nice or they’re funny?

wonwoo’s genuinely good so that’s why people watch him

like seungcheol he plays mostly like fps stuff and things that require mostly skill

but he will play other stuff with his friends

lowkey rages but he tries to not get too angry when he’s streaming

lots of “aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” when something bad is happening lmao

takes games really serious and gets competitive

there have been times though where he’s gotten so angry he just got up and left his desk

lots of huffing and there are some outburts of “WHAT!” and stuff like that

and mumbling under his breath

the amount of times he’s had to pause stream to help soonyoung figure his own shit out is far too much

there’s actually a counter for it lmao

-

Jihoon

despite playing games all the time, he doesn’t stream often because he forgets or doesn’t feel like turning the stream on lmao

so he also has a smaller audience like josh

he doesn’t talk much when he plays

he reads chat but he doesn’t reply much unless he’s like explaining something to someone or giving advice or something

will ban you for a day if you say he’s cute lmao

but his mods started calling him cute too and now his whole chat is just a mess lmao

but he’s started slowly opening up more and more

he’s picky about games he plays so he also has a set of certain games he’ll play

unless he’s really bored and all of his friends are nagging him to play something else with them

claims he hates goofy games but giggles up a storm when they play fall guys simply because “they run funny”

but overall he takes games pretty seriously and does get mad when he’s losing a lot or not doing well

nobody ever knows when he’ll stream again he’ll stream one day and then won’t ever again for like another 2 weeks at 1am out of nowhere

[docholligay]

Valentine's prompt: Brigitte and Dva baking together

It shouldn’t have been awkward. Dva was an international star on a number of levels, and had been so since she was fifteen or so. She was known for being cute, for being capable, for being quick on her feet, and confident to a point that bordered on arrogance, in her worst moments. People imagined her as all sorts of things, and she let them, because it paid to be imagined as the perfect girlfriend, as the cool friend, as the great hero of Korea. No one would have imagined that she was nervous to have a girl over to make cookies. People would have laughed at the idea. 

And yet, here she was, nervous. Brigitte had never been to her apartment. Dva wasn’t even sure they were officially dating, even though they had gone out plenty of times since Christmas. It wasn’t that she thought they were just friends--there were plenty of activities they’ d participated in that didn’t suggest that--but it wasn’t that she thought they were serious enough to be girlfriends, either. 

More surprising to Dva was that she wanted to be. 

She kept telling herself that there were a million reasons she hadn’t addressed this particular issue. They were building a whole new Overwatch headquarters, and Dva was helping with the oversight of it, making sure everything was just so. There were new exhibits coming to the recently-refurbished Overwatch Museum of London, to say nothing of the one they planned to revive in America. Dva had been a key part of all these things, taking a bit of the work off Tracer, trying to convince Pharah she could do just as well and trying very hard not to be insulted by Pharah’s insistence that it was Tracer’s work. It meant there was plenty for her to do that wasn’t dating, and so it made perfect sense that she’d never sat down to have any conversation with Brigitte about what they were, exactly. 

Did Dva even care about Valentine’s Day? She certainly couldn’t remember caring about Valentine’s Day, but it must have mattered some to her if she had stumbled out asking if Brigitte wanted to come help her make several dozen cookies to give out. She didn’t want to give out cookies, much less make them, she was fairly certain, and yet it had come out of her mouth as Brigitte and Winston stood in front of her discussing the new lab setup. 

Winston had smiled after Dva said it, which somehow made it worse. 

Her apartment was a great one. She knew that to be true, at least. She hadn’t thought much about anything but location and having a gaming room when she’d bought it with all money she’d saved from living with her parents back home, and the agent had found her a place ten minutes’ walk from two different underground stations, with a Waitrose on the way, across from some gardens that her balcony overlooked. It wasn’t until Tracer’s eyes widened as they walked toward it that she realized entirely the kind of place she owned, a three bedroom apartment that had Tracer running from room to room, asking why she had never gotten into the video game business. Bright, with wood floors and a marble bathroom, she took a certain amount of delight in showing it to people, that she wasn’t some sort of grubby gremlin child but an adult with nice tastes. 

Now she was worried it was too nice. Ostentatious? The only person in Overwatch with a bigger place was Winston, and that was a rusty old warehouse he’d spend years scrabbling into a home. Would Brigitte think she was bragging? Brigitte had invited her back to her apartment, a tiny studio that was across from a dumpster rather than a garden, but it was warm and sweet and now Dva worried that her apartment showed she had money but not much else. 

Did she have much else? Who was she other than the wunderkind, really, when it got down to it? Mercy had tried to talk to her about it once, having more than a little experience with such, but Dva had shook it away, proud as always. Now she found herself wishing she could ask how to deal with it. She would, once today was over, win or lose. She was in her twenties, but growing up, it seemed, very suddenly, in the light of everything changing. There was no more room to be the talented brat she loved being, if she was honest. 

But that realization wasn’t going to save her from whatever happened today with Brigitte. 

The buzzer rang. Horrifying, but inevitable, like so many things in military life. She ran over to the monitor and flipped it on, Brigitte’s smile lighting up the camera. 

“Hi!” She waved. 

Brigitte didn’t seem shocked or offended by Dva’s apartment building, and so Dva simply nodded and attempted a smile back. “Just come up, the door’s open.” 

She buzzed Brigitte in and turned around toward the open room. She’d already cleaned ip everything that needed it, and the cookie ingredients were in the fridge and pantry. Dva had bought some sodas and snacks this morning, opening the boxes so it would look casual. Hopefully Brigitte couldn’t tell that she’d never had anyone over to her house, and if she could, well, it was a fair protest that Dva had never really had time in her life to imagine it. That was, until Brigitte joined Overwatch, and all of her friends thought it was cute to torment Dva over the flirting. 

Brigitte came through the door and looked around the apartment, the surfeit of natural light and Dva’s simple but sturdy couches and chairs set up in the living room. 

“This place is really nice!” She said it with enthusiasm and without judgment, even if Dva studied hard to find it. 

“Thanks.” She managed. “Actually, I just told an agent to get me something when I moved here a few years ago...I’m not very good at shopping.” 

“I believe that,” Brigitte gave a bright nod, “I remember trying to find you a Christmas sweater for the Oxton party.” 

Dva laughed. It had been silly, hadn’t it? The two of flitting from store to store, Dva not knowing exactly what she wanted but knowing that none of this was it. Brigitte had threated to simply throw one of her sweaters on top of her. But they found something, eventually. They’d spent the whole party talking together. It had been what she wanted, after all. 

She led Brigitte back toward the small but well appointed kitchen, neat as a pin. Brigitte smiled slyly as she preheated the oven. 

“I bet you never use this room, huh?” 

Dva smacked her with an embroidered tea towel, but laughed in a way that let Brigitte know she couldn’t be more correct. 

It was a wonder, to see Brigitte in the kitchen. She had brought some of her own ingredients, not imagining that Dva would have everything they needed. Brigitte didn’t seem to need much of a recipe, just kept whipping things together until there was a dough in a bowl in front of the two of them, being worked over carefully by Brigitte’s broad, strong hands. 

They couldn’t be more different, could they? Brigitte was tall and broad and strong, warm and nurturing and domestic. Dva was small and fine boned, sharp and quick and dangerous, hopeless in the kitchen and barely qualified in even a laundry room. It was odd to imagine that they could ever be together, and the thought made her a bit sad even as she shaped the dough into a disk for the fridge. 

But then, she thought, it wasn’t so unusual. Mercy and Pharah may as well have been night and day on all things not related to their shared ethics, and sometimes even that, and you never met a couple so devoted and in love. The things Emily seemed to love best about Tracer were the things they in no way shared--Tracer was loud and gregarious and daring, Emily was quiet and shy and cautious. So what if Brigitte was the one making dinner? Dva would bring her home every pan and grocery item she could ever want. 

“What?” Brigitte said, and Dva realized she was staring. 

Dva shook her head.”Just thinking. Sorry.” 

“About what?” 

“Nothing.” She picked up the dough disks. ‘The fridge, right? We could watch something while we wait,” she turned around and opened the fridge door, ‘It’s still too cold to sit on the balcony--honestly it’s stupid that I even have one, it’s too cold most of the year. I didn’t think enough about the weather--” 

“Hana, do you like me?” She turned around quickly to find Brigitte looking at her almost...nervously, a cup of tea in her hand. “I mean,” she laughed, “I don’t know how to say that in a grown up way.” 

“I do.” Dva, it turned out, had no idea how to respond in an adult way, and stumbled over every teenage emotion she found herself feeing. “I really do. I want--” 

“I know there is, so much happening with you, and I--the new headquarters, and I know we’re not talking about how Tracer’s sick, but Tracer’s sick--maybe I shouldn’t have said that? I mean, I’m not--she does a great job as commander, still, and you’re helping. That’s, you know, really good, that you’re helping. God, I can’t stop talking.” She looked at Dva and Dva recognized the same strange panic in her eyes. “I don’t really--my brothers and sisters kept me so busy, and my father was always teaching me about...things that aren’t this, you know, at all.” She closed her eyes tight. “I want to be your girlfriend!” 

She clapped her hand over her mouth, and the two of them looked at each other, silent, wide-eyed. 

The oven dinged as it came up to temperature.

anyway time for grisha!verse bullshit ideas while i work out details:

addict.  david might be a healer but he’s also a wee bit in hiding. no one knows what he is, other than a bully.

anarchist.  wrench is 100% a fucking anarchist baby in kettledam. he was a mercenary for crime organizations. now he’s just... being a shit. not big on slavery. spends a lot of time with explosives. wears a mask that covers most of his face.

celandine. heartrender. soft baby. living his best life in the woods. don’t ask questions. pretty. golden. rapunzel hair. idk. very pleasant if you find him.

fox. thief. might be a tailor, might also just be a clever shit with quick fingers. too smart for his own good. very androgynous (&good) looking.

monster. inferni. grisha soldier. a bit of a bitch, but cute. looks v. good in uniform. voted most likely to laugh at inappropriate times and has sharp teeth.

saint. simple farm...man. likes horses. soft spoken. lives in dva stolba. nobody bothers him because he’s built like a truck and also maybe had a temper as a child.

rose & apple. crime husbands. just two dudes conning people in kettledam. living their best lives. apple has crossed the fold at least twice before. rose is a big manipulator, enough that people think he’s a heartrender but he’s just good at reading emotions and manipulation.

oh yeah i never fully explained that d.va kirumi & angie drawing. anyways i was playing no limits as d.va real late last night and since i was on a losing streak of games i was real sick of putting actual effort into this match.so i avoided the whole objective and sat outside the enemy spawn room and waited for them to come out so i could say hi,be nice n friendly,whatever.and luckily for me the enemy team was real nice about it and would say their hellos and pass.at one point the whole enemy team(which was like 3-4 dvas and some torbs as well as some of my teamates) is where i am emoting and having fun,completely ignoring the game until a member from each of our teams start shooting and we go back to what we were doing.i go back to the enemy spawnpoint and chill some more and everyones still cool.after the match i get a friend request from one of the enemy dvas and their ps4 avatar is kirumi and mine happens to be angie and thats why i drew that little doodle ^ ^

[stonesingers]

Also i have yet to see a Reinhardt with a golden hammer use his dance emote, which is really disappointing because i bet it looks very funny

The Chemicals between us ~ Chapter 1

The numbers on the digital clock screen turned to 03:00 am. The watchpoint was silent save the few still functioning Domiciliary bots quietly moving through the corridors and the screech of some local wildlife far off in the distant. The world was dark and still and peaceful. No sane person would be awake at this hour.

She didn't feel sane.

It was that dream again. The suffocating nightmare that woke her up most nights thrashing and tearing off covers before finally leaving her huddled in a ball, dampened with cold sweat and whimpering. Mei’s breathing had finally slowed enough to a steady rhythm. Slowly and tentatively she sat up brushing her tousled hair out of her face. She wiped away the tears with her palms and took a deep breath. The only light in her small room came from the soft blue glow of Snowball the Droid silently charging nearby.

She had been in Gibraltar for 2 months, part of a skeleton crew in a forgotten watchpoint for a forgotten organization. She certainly had concerns of coming here, she still did. The Petras act made any overwatch activity illegal and its participants prosecuted. Mei was struggling to come to terms with her malfunctioned cryostasis and now had ten years of change in the world to catch up on. Seven months ago Winstons message had woken up the eco point, waking Mei up to a world that had abandoned and moved on without her. She threw herself into her work, there was years of data and information stored in the various ecopoints around the world. Not strictly working within Overwatch but still having to get permission from the UN to access the sites, this was made even more complicated by the fact she was declared dead. She had to work, if she stopped she would think, then dwell, then sink into despair. She had no family left, her sister had grieved and moved on with her life. Her mother had passed away whilst Mei slept and her own father no longer recognized her and murmured that his little Xiǎoxuě was gone as he rocked back and forth in his room in the nursing home.

So she had worked and travelled, occasionally checking in with Winston who urged her to always let him know where she was. She had put this down to guilt on his part as head of science in Overwatch. She had never confronted her feelings on blame. She buried them, donning her well known cheerful optimistic persona, and worked. It wasn't until her friend Dr Angela Ziegler had called her, telling her to look at a recent article in the news from Greece. A former Overwatch agent had been found murdered at their family home. Further research showed they were not the only former agents killed. She had angrilly called Winston demanding answers, now realizing why he needed to know where she was. She and other agents were potentially marked people. For all Mei knew she was walking around with a target painted on her. It was a long and an emotional call, Mei also learning that Commander Morrison and Captain Amari were both alive and moving against Talon.

Mei didn't want to be involved in a war. She joined Overwatch for scientific purposes, to better the world and preserve it for future generations. Now being an unassuming climatologist for Overwatch had potentially put a mark on her head. Now she was urged to go to Gibraltar where past agents answering the call could work against a terrorist organization and the looming threat of a second crisis brewing in Russia. New recruits had even been silently brought in based on merit and skill. The Mech fighter Hana song, newly recovered from injuries sustained whilst single handedly fighting omnics. Lúcio Correia dos Santos, a freedom fighter, revolutionary leader and musician. Aleksandra Zaryanova, Sergeant within the Russian defence forces and former Athlete. Brigitte Lindholm had come with Reinhardt and was a highly skilled armourer. Fareeha Amari had also travelled to Gibraltar and had stayed despite a heated argument with her Mother. Even two Omnics Zenyatta and Bastion had joined their ranks. All fighters, all skilled combatants. Mei was no soldier. She could barely call herself a fighter. She was a scientist and she felt useless here, cut off from the eco points and only so much data to work from.

Still, at least she was safe here. Wasn't she?

She looked at the clock, 03:55. It had taken her nearly an hour to settle after her nightmare. A few more hours and she would be in the morning briefing. She moved her hand along her bedside table feeling for the small lamp and turned it on, squinting slightly at the sudden light. She put on her glasses and picked up her tablet, absentmindedly scrolling through the latest news, a headline caught her eye of the two criminal Junkers who had apparently blown up a corporate building in Sydney, their whereabouts now unknown. She gave a soft ‘hmph!’ They had travelled the globe near as much as she had. How on earth had they not been apprehended yet?

‘How long before ‘you’ are apprehended?’ Her mind asked. She ignored the question and continued to scroll through headlines...An interview with LumeriCo CEO Guillermo Portero… Speculation on Dva’s ‘supposed’ dismissal from duty...Lucio’s cancelled tour...Tensions in Russia, a climbing death toll…murders….

Mei sighed. She was still emotionally charged and worrying news would not help her relax. She shivered slightly and pulled her cover back over herself, settling back into bed and began playing a silly game on the tablet. It wasn't long before she fell back into an uneasy sleep.

Jack Morrison walked into the 07:00 morning briefing and looked around the room. Winston was talking to Fareeha who stifled a yawn. To her left Lucio, Hana and Lena avidly spoke about a race around the watchpoint. Jack noted to maybe nip that in the bud before someone breaks their neck. Next to them was Mei, sitting quietly holding her tea in both hands, smiling politely when Angela sat down beside her. Torbjorn was sitting back in his chair, both hands folded on his stomach as he dozed, grumbling a curse as McCree used his prosthetic to light his match for his cigar then proceeded to put both feet up in from of him. Zarya gave him a distasteful look from across the table.

 ‘This isn't enough’ He thought to himself. A team of barely twenty people with very limited resources operating under the radar against a large, well funded, terrorist organization. And things were only getting worse. He cleared his throat and the chatter died down, eyes turning to him.

 ‘Good morning, as you know those not here are currently on assignment and will be due back soon. We are still pursuing leads in Iraq, Western Africa and Russia, however we need new intelligence before assigning any agents to the field there. I won't have anyone going in blind whilst we are this limited. Now, I called this meeting this morning because my sources have traced known Talon agents moving across Australia.’

Jack turned on the large projection in the centre of the rounded table bringing up a map of Australia and highlighting towns and cities of the sightings.

 ‘Now..we have a pattern. They are moving purposely, town to town. It's my belief that they are following these two…’ Jack brought up two photos of the Junkers Mei had read about much earlier that morning. ‘...If you are not aware who these two are, The one in the mask is Mako ‘Roadhog’ Ruthlege. Mercenary for hire and Killer. The other, possibly more dangerous one is Jamison ‘Junkrat’ Fawkes. Demolition and explosives expert. Both from the settlement called Junkertown in the Australian outback. After their little crime spree around the world both touched down In Adelaide. They've certainly been keeping quiet until totalling a building in Sydney. Since then they have been on the move, coincidently being in the same areas as Talon. Whether they have been hired by Talon or being followed I have yet to learn. But what I do know is either way I want them in. They Are too dangerous to let Talon have and if Talon do want them than I want to know why..yes Jesse?’

McCree had lazily raised his arm to speak. His gave his cigar a long drag before he spoke. ‘I know of these boys Jack, got a pretty bounty on their heads. Now they’ve slipped through every sheriff in every countries fingers. What makes you think we can find them?’

‘Genji is currently in Darwin northern Australia, he's been surveying theirs and Talons movements for over a week, he’s been using old contacts who are less than savoury but they had the information on where they may be. He’s sure he’s got a location down. A team will be on route tonight.’

Winston cleared his throat ‘Err..Commander Morrison? Surely If Talon wanted to hire them they would have approached them by now? It seems a great deal of effort to track them the length of the country. What could they possibly want from them?’

‘Maybe they want more firepower?’ Suggested Torbjorn.

‘No they got plenty o’ that’ said McCree, stubbing out his cigar on his prosthetic hand ‘I heard a rumor from an old Aussie bounty hunter looking for those two..he told me the kid supposedly found something in the Omnium ruins. Something valuable.

Zarya scoffed ‘Anything shiny is valuable to those scavengers. Its nothing’

‘Regardless,’ continued Jack ‘We get to them before Talon does. Myself, McCree, Winston and Lena will be leaving tonight. We’ll rendezvous with Genji at his location, find them and bring them here.’

‘Here?’ asked Fareeha in a worrying tone ‘Im sorry commander but is that a good idea? You want two criminals who take fun in destroying things..here?'

Zarya nodded in agreement. ‘They bad people, you bring them here this whole base blow sky high.’

‘We have a lot of valuable equipment and wouldn't our data be at risk if-’ Began Mei, until Hana thrust her arm in the air for attention.

‘Ooo ooo! Can I ask them about the Mech fights they have?’

Lucio laughed ‘They’re not here to hang Hana.’

‘Have you seen those things Lu? All spikes and flamethrowers and then there's the undefeated champion called Wrecking ball and no one knows what he-’

Winston coughed getting the young girls attention whilst pointedly looking at Jack who stood with a look on his face that suggested his patience was wearing very thin.

Hana gave an apologetic grin ‘Opps, sorry’ she whispered and settled back into her seat.

Jack sighed. The scars on his face taut as he frowned.

‘Talon wants them so I want them’ Said Jack with a steel stubbornness ‘They can choose to cooperate and come quietly or kick and scream, I don't care. What I do care about is knowing Talons next move. Once I get the information I want then I’ll toss them to the authorities. Any more questions?’

If there was no one spoke. Jack grunted.

‘Good. Those going we leave at 12:00 hours and with good time touching down at 22:00 hours, prepare yourselves and the Orca. Lena I want you to make sure stealth and auto modes are good for flight.’

Lena saluted ‘Aye aye!’

‘Everyone staying here, wait on your orders. Amari is due back tonight, should our mission in Australia be successful or not we will debrief on return, but for now you are all dismissed.'

The room began to empty slowly as Jack stayed behind, seemingly studying the holographic map in front of him. He glanced towards the door as the final person left, watching it shut completely. Once he knew he was alone he turned off the large projection and brought up a smaller screen in front of him. He types in a code, a small ping noise signalling granted access. Jack glanced at the door again, then proceeds to type on the interactive screen in front of him. He was contacting someone.

  :Are you sure they are at the location you gave me?

He typed He stared at the screen, waiting on a reply. Another glance toward the door. What felt like an eternity passed when finally a return message popped up on screen.

  :You know it's polite to say hello first?

Jack grunted, and swore under his breath. He was not in the mood for games.

  :Is the location correct? :……………

He waited.

 :I am offended you have to ask… :(

As Jack began to type a rather angry reply another message appeared on screen.

  :Location correct. Keep your Ninja on visual. Strike team moving tonight. Time unknown.

  :Why these two?

 :The Tank is disposable. They want Fawkes. I don't know why.

 :Anything else?

 :I give it two days before you try to kill him.

 :Anything important?

  :No, but do let me know why Talon wants him.Did I tell you no one wants to tell me anything here? I feel so left out and the big bosses are very angry after your cowboy got involved in the great train heist. Whatever he threw into the canyon was vital.

  :Just do your job. Both of them.

  :Oh how you two sound so alike.

 :I mean it. And be careful.

 :Im offended. You know one slip up and i'm dead? Dr Lucky charms will do the deed herself. Now she really doesn't like me.

 :Signing out

  :Wait!

  :What is it?

 :….You know it's polite to say goodbye!!

Jack signed out hoping it was as passive aggressive as it possible could be, deleting the message file as he had done for years and turned off the projection. He stood for a moment as if deep in thought before sighing deeply and walking to the door, letting it softly shut behind him.

*cries happy tears* I wasn’t aiming for it, but I did it. THE FLOOR IS LAVA!!!!! First I booped enemy Lucio, but he tried to get back up I guess, so by the time he died I was wallriding elsewhere. And then I booped Reaper and Junkrat and jumped back and made the tiniest of wallrides getting through the door in the back, not even thinking about this achievement. I wasted my ult in celebration with the Roadhog (who did not die). XD

【 𝚀𝚄𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝙻𝙾𝙶: 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚁𝙴𝙻𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙿𝚂 𝚆𝙸𝚃𝙷 . . . 】 :// @agent-lacroix sent: Your relationship with + me (agent-lacroix) | either Dva or Widow is fine :D |

          The sniper is quiet for a long moment following the inquiry, her lips pressing together slowly and her eyes dropping. ❝ I fail to see what talking about this will do. . . . ❞ a soft huff escapes her — an attempt to seem more indignant and stubborn, less saddened by the question. Her relationship with Gérard?

          Once upon a time, it had been like a fairy tale — every little girl’s dream of a kind and doting husband. They enjoyed each other’s company and barely wanted to be apart. Talon, of course . . . had changed all of that ages ago. Her disappearance had put something of a rift between them she could never quite place. And then, of course, she’d ended his life. Even through the numbed emotions, she wasn’t sure she’d ever forgive herself for that, regardless if it was really her fault.

          To have him back in her presence again was . . . disconcerting, to say the least. It drew forth a complex mix of emotions ranging from frustration at her seeming failure to an ache in her heart at what he’d become. Because of them. Again.

          ❝ You and I both know that nothing will be the same as it was. . . . That’s what you wanted, isn’t it? ❞
