What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

yknow what else abt s4 i had forgotten until i was going back to the transcripts for caps?

ARTHUR: [...] And I’ve been failing you lately, as well. I’m… I’m seeing that. Is that why you’ve been slipping away? Is that why you can’t see certain things? With Yellow, I was so… poor at shaping him, I was… I was so angry with him. I made him… feel small. Is it me that’s causing you to fail? Is it my lack of trust?

neither of them know what's wrong with john yet but it's obvious that something is wrong, and part of what arthur says to him at the farm is fear that it's his fault somehow. he can tell, and has been able to tell since addison, that something is up with him (this bizarre insistence on the order, the immediate shutdown of certain subjects, the prickliness at random times), but he's missing such a fundamental piece of the puzzle that john is standing there lying to his fucking face and arthur's like, maybe the problem is i'm not trusting him enough.

which is an echo of a similar sentiment from the nightmare, actually-

KELLIN: He’s lying about something. Is it Kayne? What isn’t he telling you? ARTHUR: I don’t know! KELLIN: Or maybe… just maybe… he’s slipping away.  ARTHUR: What? [...] KELLIN: Yellow. The King. John. Three separate entities. ARTHUR: Yellow is the King. KELLIN: Is he? If he was trapped inside of you, he’s clearly no longer a whole! And look at what you did to that. ARTHUR: What I did?  KELLIN/OTHER ARTHUR: What you ruined. (Whispers start to rise again.) You can hate me for saying this… [...] But I’m only saying what you’re saying to yourself, Arthur. Something is off about John. You know it. Because I know it.

i feel like since john got so defensive of yellow so quickly arthur keeps circling back to that sentiment every time he thinks about whatever's going on now. like all of the talk abt "failing" is just a distorted, reapplied version of what john has said abt yellow. he's so certain it's his fault somehow.

and part of that is probably just the Guilt™ but i feel like part of it is also, like, if it's his fault then he can fix it. if this is a repeat of what he fucked up with yellow, then he can course-correct and bring him back. if it's out of his control... then he's going to lose him, and there's nothing he can do about it. of those two options, of course he'd choose the first one every time.

meanwhile john's just watching arthur assemble all these unrelated clues into this disastrous tower of lies like Well Well, If It Isn't The Consequences Of My Actions,

The desire to draw these two again but without the motivation to make something more than one of these little charts (oops)

We're opening up a rift in the Braccatolian space. Won't see us coming. Kind of scary. Then stop. Once the Empire is established, and there's a new Gallifrey in the heavens, maybe then it stops... the drumming, the never ending drumbeat. Ever since I was a child, I looked into the Vortex — that's when it chose me. The drumming, the call to war. Can't you hear it?

Playing around with the idea of the new ghoulette containing multitudes. Something something "I didn’t know if something had gone wrong." (<- line here taken from my own fic; there's a point to this)

Yeah, but what if it had and nobody had noticed right away?

Perpetua summons the new ghoulette who turns out to be a Multi, but no one knows she embodies more than one soul... primarily because she herself had no memory of it upon being summoned. The ritual took a heavy toll on her, which caused the memory loss and left her weakened upon being pulled topside as a result. Perpetua thinks something went wrong with the ritual but everyone is like "oh no being left fatigued can be a side effect of being summoned; it varries per ghoul", so he goes and names her (and insert your prefered name for the new ghoulette here) not knowing the truth.

The new ghoulette goes without knowing... until the forgotten memories get triggered one day. Maybe it's another ritual of some sort. In any case the shock is so intense that it causes her to collapse and she's unconscious for quite some time.

When she eventually comes back to herself she is fully aware of what she is, but doesn't know what to do with that information. So she becomes withdrawn, which worries everyone else, especially Aurora and Perpetua.

Aurora tries to get through to her with some degree of success, but eventually Perpetua has to be brought in on this. She's his first summon, and he does care for her so he wants to help. He and the new ghoulette talk for a bit an he eventually learns about who she really is. He accepts this wholeheartedly and says it doesn't change a thing: that he always knew there was something special about her.

Overwhelmed by this acceptance, the new ghoulette begins to cry, but also asks Perpetua if he would name these other parts of her as well. He agrees, saying he would be honored to do so.

The new ghoulette takes some time to explain to the others what she is and though it takes some time to fully comprehend it they accept her all the same. Maybe with some help from those who are partially or fully quintessence the new ghoulette better understands herself as well. Gets support from Aurora and Perpetua too since they were the first ones the new ghoulette actually spoke to about this once the truth became clear.

So yes, the new ghoulette contains multitudes; she is multifoiled. But she is still loved by her friends all the same.

Project Hail Mary

sci-fi

a man wakes up on a spaceship with no memory, and eventually figures out he’s the sole survivor on a desperate mission to save humanity

his memory slowly returns through flashbacks, showing him how and why he ended up on the mission and how he has to search for answers alone

….except he’s not alone, because there’s an alien ship nearby, with its’ own sole survivor, in a similar situation

alien friendship :)
