#and i know for a fact that genji has NO IDEA what his feelings for akio even are exactly

🎲 - also for akio/genji perhaps :3

kiss rouletteㅤㅤ☾ㅤㅤaccepting!

rng says:ㅤ34. a kiss after a bite

ㅤif he was to be honest with himself, he's been after this for a while. nakamura is kind and understanding, the only person genji doesn't mind having tailing him around because he doesn't stop him from doing what he wants, doesn't roll his eyes or go tattling to his father like all the others do. his presence is a pleasant one, and they have a camaraderie — a friendship, even — which genji has come to cherish more than he expected. nakamura gets him in a way that no one else does, empathizes with him, and doesn't look at him as a lazy, troublemaking waste of the shimada name the way that most of the clan does.

ㅤand of course, there's no denying that he's quite attractive, too.

tonight, a bit of their usual playful flirting has taken the turn that genji has been waiting for with more patience than he has anything else in his life. in a dark corner of the castle grounds, he has nakamura's back pressed up against the wall, a hand on his waist, and teeth in his neck. it's a gentle bite, but the hunger behind it is poorly concealed as genji drags his teeth over skin and moves up higher along the other's neck where he places another bite, followed by a quick press of his lips.

ㅤㅤ" aki-kun, "ㅤhe purrs, pulling away with some reluctance to peer into the other man's face, eyes hooded. although his breath is marked by the scent of alcohol, he's not drunk — buzzed, at best. enough to lower his inhibitions, to make what he knows is probably another mistake, without it necessarily being another self-destructive impulse that he has little control over. he knows what he's doing, and he hopes nakamura has been anticipating it just as much as he has.

ㅤㅤ" i've been wondering for a while, you know, what it would be like to kiss you. what you might taste like... "ㅤgaze flits briefly to the other's lips, his own curling into something of a smirk before his eyes find nakamura's once more, searching his face for a moment. soon enough, genji is leaning closer, a thumb catching akio's chin to tilt his head just so and, heart skipping a beat, he brings their lips together.

it's funny... he's kissed a lot of people, but he finds himself approaching this kiss more gently than he normally would. there's a heat behind it, to be sure, but the intensity is different to that of a makeout session in the back of a club — there's no hurry here, he's not in a rush to get to anything else, instead quite content to simply take his time, and to feel out what nakamura has to offer in return. it's... nice. somehow better than he could have expected, and it has him pushing in a bit harder, adding a little more pressure but holding no expectations. the hand tucked beneath the other's chin moves, fingers sliding around the back of his head to curl into his hair, drawing nakamura in closer yet, and genji breathes a soft sigh through his nose.

ㅤif he wasn't intoxicated before, he thinks he might be now.

Can you do a gender-neutral yandere ram with human darling? i really really liked the omnic one!!!!

Sure! He certainly has a different tone in this one so I'll write it!

Yandere! Ramattra with Human! Darling

Pairing: "Romantic"

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Degrading behavior, Human pet, Manipulation, Prejudice against humans, Kidnapping, Dark themes, Forced "relationship".

Ramattra doesn't typically get along with humans.

The reason he put together Null Sector was because he wanted to wage war against humans for how they treated Omnics.

He doesn't believe humans could live peacefully with Omnics based on what he's seen.

All humans may not be at fault... but he tries not to think of it.

After all, humans have hurt innocent Omnics, haven't they?

If Ramattra began to "have feelings" for a human he'd be in denial.

He feels as though he's betraying his own people when he thinks of you on such a way.

You're no doubt one of those mentioned "innocent" humans that caught his eye.

You live in a heavily Omnic populated town and try to help out.

When he speaks to other Omnics they mention you are a huge help.

Ramattra finds this baffling, these must be lies!

They aren't lies... he finds this out when he sees you try to play hero and hide Omnics away from Null Sector drones.

Why do you act like he's the villain?

Why do you insist on acting like you're helping?

Ramattra, due to his denial, probably tries to excuse his feelings.

He is aware of Zenyatta's human pet Genji (In his eyes that is what their teacher/student relationship is).

Perhaps as a result he begins to see you in such a way.

He will admit you appear to be good natured, you may even prove useful, so he'll take you in.

You have no idea what you're getting into when Ramattra calls for your capture.

Ramattra doesn't hate all life, he simply hates humans for what some of them have done to his people.

While he resents his own feelings towards you and depicts them as simply wanting you as a pet... soon he'll have to accept how he feels.

Your "relationship" with Ramattra starts rather degrading.

Null Sector has a deal with Talon to obtain supplies.

As a result Ramattra meets with Doomfist to obtain supplies for you, his human pet.

Ramattra seems like he'd degrade you at first in an attempt to vent his frustration.

He sees you as a fragile pet despite the fact you're human and tries not to harm you physically.

But he can get rough at times.

He often taunts you about your organic weaknesses, he makes you feel like you need him as he gives you items to survive.

He feels having a human pet is a message for his cause.

He wants humans to think they're below him.

Over time though there's a chance Ramattra will think of you in a different light.

He realizes you've done nothing wrong like the Omnics he is trying to save.

He's a monster, yet he already knows this.

As a result he may try to soften his behavior.

He understands somewhat... now you've suffered almost as much as him and his people.

In an attempt to apologize he tries to pamper you more.

Any bruises due to his rough and metallic grip are soothed with medicine and you're left to rest.

He realizes you don't deserve his ire.

It's at this point he begins to accept his emotions towards you.

You aren't bad like the rest.

No... now you're similar to him, he's made you this way.

Maybe he really does care.

You're still kept in captivity, although Ramattra tries to be better.

Other humans are still meant with his rage, but not you.

You're only met with softer affections and praises.

It's like other humans are wild animals while you've been domesticated by Ramattra.

At some point you could feel two different ways towards your captor.

You may begin to fester rage within you, similar to Ramattra did.

Then there's the other extreme, you fall into acceptance.

You can no longer be with other humans now.

You only know Ramattra now.

Plus... why would you want to be involved in a war, anyways?

Instead... you can prove useful to Ramattra and Null Sector.

Just as a pet should.

[t3chborb]

As depressing as the 2 Ramattra + Zenyatta spawn room interactions are, for me, 2 outta the 3 Ramattra + Echo interactions take the cake. Both are just... insane.

Echo: You... are an R-7000 unit. The one humans call... umm... Ramattra: Ravagers, yes. Squad killers, and... ruder things. Echo: Does it trouble you? Being so feared and hated? Ramattra: Once. Now, it gives me a warm little feeling inside.

... A few things:

(Putting a read more cuz the post got a bit long)

Being judged for being the model of omnic his soul just happens to occupy bothered him.

He likes it now. Which, good for him, but imagine liking being hated, especially when it used to bother you. Just how far gone you have to be for that?

... Does he truly like it now, or is he pulling an excuse out of his ass? Because the sheer strain in his voice when he finishes Echo's sentence kind of suggests otherwise.

Wait a minute... Does... does he hate his body??? That could explain why he's having a hard time talking about his model, yet is perfectly content with humans hating and fearing him, as that could be tied to his personal choices (standing up for the survival of his species, Null Sector, all that jazz), not something he can't control (his model, which is something he didn't choose and can't change)...

The other interaction doesn't get any better.

Ramattra: It's a shame none us have ever met Aurora, your predecessor. Echo: I hear that often. *throat clearing noise* What would you have asked her? Ramattra: The same thing I ask her every day. I wish she could answer.

The "asking every day" is potentially metaphorical, not pin-point accurate, which... honestly doesn't matter. He asks often enough to use such wording. That naturally begs the question, what is he asking?

When I first heard this interaction all the way back, I knew whatever he's asking has to be some rough shit, just based on the sheer nature of his character, and the fact Aurora is lowkey a God (weeell not entirely, according to Symmetra's short story, but whatever, close enough). But, it's hard to pinpoint what exactly he could be asking. Bro has a lot on his plate, and, at the time, there wasn't much evidence.

There certainly still isn't anything concrete to figure it out... but... since then, we have received this.

Sooooo just on the fact of where this information comes from, it isn't anything too solid. It's from the PVE missions menu. Which is told strictly from the perspective of the Overwatch-the-in-universe-organization's members. They don't know what the audience does. They don't even know who's in charge of Null Sector beyond Genji's educated guess.

That means this entry existing in OW's archives is from Genji, who is the only one on the squad who has any idea who Ramattra is. Aaand, based on Zen's flashback in the PVE missions, Genji has never even met Ramattra. So what Genji knows about the guy comes strictly from Zenyatta (maaaybe Mondatta), either by Zen being observant enough to notice, or Ramattra straight up told him.

Aaaand Ram and Zen haven't seen each other in decades. Obviously, Ramattra has changed a lot since his Shambali days. So OW's archive might not be exactly up to date.

But, it is the best piece of information we have. And Jesus Christ, it hurts a lot by itself, but in the context of Echo's interaction, it's even worse.

Hello! Would it be okay to request Shimadacest somnophilia? :3 Whoever you choose to be the one awake trying to keep quiet maybe and failing so hard, in the end the sleeping one got woken up and then they ride into the sunrise like a happy married couple 🏇☀️

Only if you're comfortable with that theme ofc!!! Thank you! 💞💞

HI ANON <3

sooo in truth somnophilia isn't something i normally gravitate towards/enjoy, but what you described sounded so fun and it's actually very similar to a scene i wrote for jealous, brother? so this might not be super hardcore but i didn't wanna say no to such a kind & respectful request <3 and because i'd already written one with genji trying and failing to stay quiet, hanzo is up for torture the task this time~ i do hope you enjoy it even if it isn't exactly what you had in mind.

thanks for reaching out and please do send more ideas whenever! take care!! <3

this takes place before genji's death. E-rated.

-

It's late.

Well, later than usual for Hanzo, whose sleeping habits haven't been decent since father's death. Sojiro made the clan work look easy, the way he had everything under control at all times. Hanzo is learning that keeping it such takes more hours than a day can suffice.

Though there's got to be a limit, he thinks as he shuts down the computer. Pushes up from the chair, stretches; he's too young to have crackly joints, but alas, more time in the office means less time for training and keeping his health in check.

As he exits the room, he unlocks his phone to a dozen messages from Genji. The last one, from about an hour ago, is a picture of himself in front of a mirror. He has a leg propped up on the wall behind it, off frame, so that Hanzo can see the handle of some... toy that's buried in his ass, while his cock is also in the reflection, and it's hard. The caption reads waitin 4 u.

Hanzo sighs as the picture slowly burns into his brain, where it'll most likely remain forever. He really should pay more attention to his phone, shouldn't he.

Well, he turns on his heels and instead of going to his bedroom, he heads towards Genji's. Better late than never is at the tip of his tongue, but when he knocks and steps inside, he finds his brother fast asleep. He looks adorable, a scatter of sex toys around him on the bed, most likely from when he was digging through them, picking which one to tease Hanzo with. Soft and peaceful, and so very handsome, fully naked still.

Hanzo's cock, which had already been incited by the picture, pulses in his pants at the sight. But it's late, very late, and Genji stayed up waiting for him at least until an hour ago, so there is no excuse to wake him up again.

A bitter flavor coats his tongue as he wonders how awful it would be, or how much Genji would hate him if he sat here and touched himself. Something tells him Genji wouldn't hate him at all – in fact, his promiscuous little brother would probably like to know that even when he isn't trying he can affect Hanzo in such away. And Hanzo wonders if that something isn't just his dick, but he's too tired and too worked up to care.

He locks the door and falls onto Genji's bean bag. From this angle he has a gorgeous view of Genji's hole, still loose from when he had the toy inside, and Hanzo can think back to that picture and imagine that it was his cock stretching Genji to this state. Drool threatens to spill down the corner of his mouth at the thought; he can almost taste Genji from memory alone, so long he has spent licking over every inch of his body.

He feels himself sagging into the seat as he begins to jerk himself, relaxing at last after a long day of work. Sure, he wishes these were Genji's hands, or his mouth or his ass, but the smell and the sight of him will do for now. Little breathy moans escape him and Hanzo bites his lips; he has never really been a loud one, but there's something different in the thrill of having to be quiet. Genji stirs, but doesn't wake, and he sighs.

This bedroom evokes so many memories of time spent here, not as kids, but in this new era of their lives. The one where Hanzo comes to Genji for sex as well as everything else, and vice-versa. Drunk nights and sober nights, angry nights and soft nights, laughter and moans and crying and shouting. They've done it all. And flashes of such moments cross his mind, building on his pleasure, on thoughts of how perfect Genji is and how he wishes the whole world could see it, see Genji, see them.

Hanzo comes with a choked groan, gaze snapping upwards the ceiling, his mouth frozen around the sound that he tries to swallow, but can't manage. He fully melts into the bean bag, throwing his head back and just breathing. He could sleep here, he thinks; he shouldn't, but he could. He feels so relaxed. He can't believe he did something as disgusting as jerking off to Genji when he's asleep and unaware, and somehow it felt so good.

Fuck; he thinks he says that out loud. When he finally shuffles to his feet and starts tucking himself in, his eyes slide over to the bed and-

"Was that good for you?" Genji asks. He's turned onto his back now and his face is still marked from sleep, eyes barely open, but he offers that lewd smile that got them into this mess of a relationship, years ago.

Hanzo freezes in place for a second, caught red-handed, but Genji just laughs. "Come here. I've been waiting for you all night."

He reaches out a hand and Hanzo has no choice but to take it, kneeling onto the mattress and shuffling closer to Genji's body.

"You're wearing too much," Genji complains in murmurs, fingers quick to undo the buttons on Hanzo's waistcoat, then his shirt, shoving it all off his body. Hanzo lets him, always does anyways, but for now his mind is foggy with exhaustion and an orgasm and downright guilt. That is, until Genji takes his chin and pulls him into a kiss.

"You're doing it again," he whispers into Hanzo's mouth and Hanzo knows exactly what he means; Genji always says that he gets too much in his own head sometimes, overthinking even the most inconsequential things. He sighs and almost starts an apology, but Genji kisses him again.

Then it's easy to move onto Genji's body, to awkwardly shove down his pants until they're both fully naked and he fits between Genji's parted legs like he belongs there – which he does. It's easy to kiss down his throat and clavicles, and taste the skin that he'd wished so badly to touch mere minutes ago.

"What took you so long?" His voice is a whine or a moan, or something in-between, as Genji rakes his nails up Hanzo's back.

"Work."

"You work too much," the usual complaint. "That was so sexy, Hanzo..."

Now, that second part is unexpected. He pulls back only enough to find Genji's eyes.

"What was?" He asks, frowning.

"That you were touching yourself right there, at the foot of the bed," he breathes and his hands are suddenly all over Hanzo's shoulders, chest, face. "Were you thinking of me?"

Hanzo's cheeks are burning before Genji is even finished with the question. The things Genji feels comfortable saying are so wild to him. But they can talk to each other like that, when no one's listening.

"Who else could I think about?" He clears his throat, blush deepening as he forces himself to add, "After, um. That picture."

Genji chuckles softly and never in Hanzo's whole life has he seen anyone, anything prettier. "You liked that?"

He just nods, so Genji, something cheeky and proud in his eyes, adds, "Got that toy after the first time we slept together and for weeks I thought you'd never look me in the eye again. It's exactly the same size as you."

Hanzo doesn't know quite how to react to all that information; the memory of their first time and the period afterwards is bittersweet enough. He'd felt so guilty, falling into physical desire for his own brother, that he'd avoided Genji for days, until he couldn't anymore – sure, he could ignore Genji's presence, but it's impossible to run away from his own thoughts and his own feelings, and everything in him ached for his brother.

But to know that Genji procured a dildo that would match his cock, specifically so he could pretend that he had Hanzo when he didn't... He feels dizzy with how fast blood rushes down to his dick, and Hanzo doesn't think much anymore, just pushes one of Genji's knees to the side and slides right into him. He fits right in.

Their gazes still locked, he gets to watch as flames rise in Genji's eyes, as pleasure makes his brows twitch. He smiles, heaving warmly against Hanzo's mouth. "Nothing like the real you, brother," is a whisper and probably the most honest thing Genji has said all night.

Hanzo feels himself losing control of his thoughts; Genji always knows what to say or do to get him to this point. He presses his mouth to Genji's as his hips pull back, only to slam back in. Moans lost in their throats as he refuses to let the kiss end, hitting home with each thrust. Genji's legs wrap around his waist, heels digging into Hanzo's lower back like he wants more.

More?

He pulls back and off Genji, who stares at him in confusion. "On your hands and knees," he says darkly and immediately a grin spreads on Genji's face, who takes no time at all following Hanzo's order. Offering himself like a treat, even reaching back with one hand to pull his cheeks apart. Hanzo grabs his wrist, pressing only hard enough until he hears a moan, then directs Genji's hand to his own cock. "Touch yourself," he tells him and once again Genji obeys, and when Hanzo pushes into him again he grabs a handful of green hair and tugs.

Is that good enough, he wants to ask, but doesn't manage because Genji cries out, probably loud enough to wake up half the house. He groans, too, can't hold it in anymore. Pulling at Genji's hair to the side so he can see how his face twists in pleasure, how he sniffles between moans, how his lips tremble when he begs, "Harder, Hanzo, harder!"

Hanzo would give him the world when he asks like that. He tugs harder at Genji's hair and pushes his hips faster, to begin.

Genji comes first, with all the stimulation, toppling on the bed. Hanzo lets his hips down gently, flips him over; he lays on his back, legs spread wide, mouth hanging open for when Hanzo looms over him and together they jerk him to completion. He tries to aim at Genji's mouth, but it gets all over, and they laugh in breathy chuckles.

He sits back and just breathes for a moment. All things considered, Hanzo thinks himself a very lucky man.

Once he finds some strength in his legs, he gets up and heads to Genji's en suite, returning a moment later with a damp towel to clean up his brother. His eyes flick to the window; outside, the sun is beginning to rise.

"Sorry I kept you up all night," he says as he gently wipes sweat and cum off most crevices of Genji's body. He means it. This is his life, not Genji's; his brother gets to be spared of this awful legacy that was put onto Hanzo's shoulders.

"Do it again whenever," is almost a demand as Genji tugs the towel from Hanzo's hand, tossing it aside and pulling him down to the mattress.

Hanzo hugs his waist and lets Genji rest on his chest. He has to get the new day started soon; there are meetings to attend to and sales to be made. But that's a problem for future Hanzo. For now, he rests with his whole world right here in his arms.

Hello (there is a prompt at the end of this I promise)

I had a dream about Gency and it reminded me of you bc I used to love love LOVE Gency (still do!) and your fics are so well written and I am so sad that Blizzard fucked up overwatch (and it’s lore kinda?) over the last couple years :(

Also the way they removed a bunch of Gency interactions and are kinda like..changing their relationship dynamic? And the line in the biography story mode thing about how mercy was genjis cyberneticist?? even though she previously was never mentioned to like… do that stuff and that kinda reframes how they interacted pre-fall and its a minor thing but it really just grinds my gears :(

(I pretend it is not canon because i know overwatch better that the current OW2 writers 👍)

And pushing more Pharah/Mercy stuff after literal YEARS of gradual Gency buildup in OW1?

and also the way some Gency artists literally don’t feel SAFE to post their ship art (of a ship that actually has a decent amount of support and is based in canon, mind you) on Twitter.. but that’s more a Twitter thing than anything

i wanted to be into this games lore so bad and i used to have such a good handle on it and now every so often i get this huge wave of nostalgia when i look back over fics from years ago and get sentimental and mad over what was and what could have been (just in general) if blizzard didn’t fuck it up :(

admittedly I haven’t examined what’s going on in the lore of the game too much over the last couple months, so if they revived it somehow or Mr. Developer looked us in the eye and said “Gency is real” then throw this whole thing out the window 😭

Anyways there was a really cool plot to the dream and i was gonna give you a prompt so you could write something akin to it if you ever wanted but I now forgot the plot ☹️ but I love your writing and i hope even in your creative, non-overwatch-related endeavors, all goes well

hmmm but here’s a prompt idea (I don’t know if this would actually be in line with the canon for your overwatch prompts now, it’s more of a what-if):

what if Genji and Mercy crossed paths after the fall of overwatch? Before they started sending each other letters, before the recall, by pure coincidence—maybe before or while Genji was under Zenyatta’s teaching—either way, he isn’t at peace with himself yet. Would Genji try to hide his identity? Would he feel like he isn’t good enough to face her? Or guilty after she goes, missing a one-in-a-million opportunity to connect with her again? Or maybe they do talk, but are obscured and don’t know who the other is until too late? Or maybe they fully know who the other is—what do they say? What do they do? I am super interested to read your take on this prompt if you ever want to write something akin to this!

I am going to. binge all your Gency fics now. Goodbye

First of all... WOW! Thank you for taking the time to write all this! And also thank you for reading my gency stuff. I still love them too, for all my disillusionment with Overwatch and its overall storytelling. I definitely share your sentiments with regards to the fact that the revolving door of writers has basically lead to Overwatch no longer giving a shit about continuity and actual storytelling and just defaulting to what they think will suck the dicks of fanon in the most satisfactory manner. And it's not just writing Gency out of existence either--it's about erasing the tragedy of Widowmaker and the complexity of Reinhardt. It's about reducing Gabriel to a shitty radicalized cop. It's about bringing in characters who make no sense chronologically and have fuck all to do with anything and honestly just heighten the truth of the "stereotype+fetish" joke of Overwatch character design (Yes, I'm talking about Kiriko and Illari). It's about bringing in Mauga 4 years late and acting like they're the cleverest damn people in the world for doing it. It's about expending an absurd amount of narrative and advertisement funding and energy on fucking ASHE of all members of the cast.

Okay--okay--I'm calming myself down.

With regards to your prompt, I'm just going to say, I played the general timeline out between Genji and Mercy the way it played out with very specific reasons. The truth was, as far as character development goes, for all of his love of Mercy (as far as my fic continuity goes) Genji simply wasn't in the mental or emotional space to have a healthy relationship with *anyone,* let alone Mercy. And that's also why I have him mentioning hooking up with Cassidy during his time in Blackwatch in the broad general fic continuity, because it's this very fucked up emotional period for both of them and they have this *very strong link* for a time but as they progress to healthier mindsets they both sort of outgrow each other. Genji moves on to Angela and Cassidy moves on to Hanzo and that's *good* because that indicates they've both grown into their own respective people past being in a really painful codependent state.

The *whole point* was Genji getting away from Overwatch, hallucinating Mercy at his lowest point, and realizing *he* needs to be the person to get himself out of his most fucked up mental corners, and then meeting Zenyatta so that he can develop the right mental tools for that. I'm realizing this is a very western interpretation of this, but then again Overwatch slotted in Robot Jesus with Aurora so fuck it, but if I had to break it down into a solid narrative, it's a Divine Comedy where Genji is Dante, Zenyatta is Virgil, and Mercy is Beatrice. You can have your idealized love and your most beloved mentor, but ultimately YOU have to claw YOUR OWN way out of hell.

If he met with Mercy or made contact with Mercy at any point before Zurich exploded in my fic continuity, that wouldn't give catharsis for ANYONE. The only position they would be in, would be for angst wank. And like, YEAH, I *can* write Gency angst wank that doesn't actually go anywhere and doesn't contribute anything to the characters beyond making them feel sad, but honestly I'd rather write my Anarky-Assassinated-President-Lex-Luthor fic. That's a nice fatty mutton bone I can chew on.

[emile-hides]

For the ask game! Ramattra?

The man who got me my first 1,000 note post. Yeah I got the think thonks on him for sure.

One aspect about them I love

He's not as inherently cruel as you'd expect him to be. In fact, he's hardly cruel at all. He takes time before a mission to get to know his human teammates and is even willing to socialize with them, despite his apparent hatred for the species. Given how we know people who hate Omnics treat their Omnic teammates before a fight... It's rather surprising I think.

One aspect I wish more people understood about them

This is one I see in a lot of X Readers that make me regret making that gif but look. Guys look.

Just because a man is big with a deep voice does not mean he's going to walk you on a leash and call you his mutt.

Ramattra is not a dominator of any kind, sexually or otherwise. He's the only Overwatch character who actively kinkshames that very specific thing. He hates that Genji follows Zenyatta around like a little lost puppy, actively calls him disgusting over it.

He is not a violent person either. He didn't want any of this. He doesn't want to lead armies and have other tremble under his thumb and do every little thing he commands.

I'm just personally very tired of the Violent Dominate Ramattra X Readers... he's a softie actually... I would like more overrun with anxiety because he has no clue how humans work and actively fears hurting them on accident Ramattra X Reader...

Headcanons I have about this character

I've said this one to a handful of friends but one of my instant Ramattra takes is that he is constantly, beyond his control, scanning for threats around him, and all Humans as perceived as threats to his internal scanners. He's always hyper aware of the humans around him, how they're moving, breathing, speaking, their critical weakpoints, any potential weapons they may have, etc etc. To the point that he struggles to distinguish an ally from an enemy human while in the midst of battle.

Everything he does that might seem odd was in effort to appear more... Friendly to humans during his time in the Shambali. He's a very big Omnic, not the biggest, but bigger than average, and his model type being Generals in the Human Killing Army is enough to put everyone around him on edge, which he of course picks up, and it puts him on edge. So he does weird human things like Breath, Stutter, Hum, Cough. Anything to make himself a little more human.

He hates a lot about himself. He hates how big he is, he hates his original purpose, he hates the human traits he picked up and can't let go, he hates that his default is violence, he hates the sound of his voice when he yells, he hates the constant threat display in his head, he hates his creation and his creator and the brother who made him feel welcomed like he could be accepted despite all these things he hates about living as himself.

I don't think he wanted to lead an army or extinguish the human race. But it's what he was built for, and if no matter what he does people will only ever see him as what he was at the start, then why try changing that? He's on a self destructive mission, yes to save his kind, his dying race, his family, but also just to get away from the fantasy he'd built up of being someone different than who he is. Someone smaller and gentler and more... human. That clearly can't happen. It's not an option for him.

I think Ramattra's a Trans Woman.

One character I love seeing them interact with

I really love his interactions with Bastion!! And Zenyatta as well!!! I know it says one character but they way he speaks to them both is so!!!!!! Cute!!!

The little twigs comment in his canon interaction with Bastion!! The lore and bond he had with Zenyatta in the past!!! God it's my everything!!!

One character I wish they would interact with/interact with more

My friend @ow-old-men got me really really into the idea of him interacting with Orisa (curse you OW2) and just. Experiencing the world along side her. Two Omnics made for violence redefining themselves in familial rolls

Does Orisa know what a woman is? No. But she's still the first one to use She/Her Pronouns for Ramattra because she knows.

Headcanons I have that involve them with other characters

Orisa is Ramattra's egg cracker this is why Blizzard won't let them interact

I think he's the reason Mondatta was assassinated. It was part of the deal with joining Talon, he agreed to assist them if they could take Mondatta out. It was a deal he regretted making almost immediately

Because of his hostility to humans, Maximilien is required to be in every meeting Ramattra is in, for his personal comfort.

Do they actually talk? God I hope so. I hope they kiss on the mouth while they're at it. But also I think Ram would hate Max, because he's just too human. Ramattra has no room to talk though, what with his bad habit of breathing and all that.

Akande really likes Ramattra, likes his manner of holding himself and his conviction. Ramattra hates Akande and really really really wants him to leave him alone.

I think the idea of Ramattra figuring out Reaper's identity and constantly threatening his life is incredibly good fanon content that should continue

Zenyatta, for a very long time, hated and was more hostile to humans than Ramattra. This is why Ramattra brought him to the Shambali, to get away from humans.

OMG what other things do Moira and Cass bond over?

How many times Genji and Reyes do something that nearly gets everyone killed. Like, I feel like people forget that in Retribution Cassidy and Moira were the ones going "this is a shitty situation you put us in and we are probably going to die", Moira was a lot calmer about the situation but you can tell she wasn't happy.

Also you can tell in the opening scene how Cassidy and Moira handle missions vs how Reyes and Genji do. Cassidy and Moira seem to the more calculated attackers, only really knocking people out and killing people when necessary. Which is kinda ironic since Cass is described as "reckless" in the file Talon has on him.

Also with the way Reyes talks with Genji I can see both of them just sitting back and watching Genji chase Reyes around the blackwatch base after a comment about Hanzo. Like it's five in the morning, they're drinking coffee and watching as Reyes tries to get himself killed by a ninja with anger issues.

Gabe, running through the base halls: shit shit shit SHIT- Moira, who just woke up: What happened this time? Cassidy, handing her a coffee while reading a book: The boss decided it was a good idea to bring up Genji's brother....again. Moira: ....Do we need to help? Cassidy: He dug his grave, he can lie in it.

Also, coffee, you can't tell me that out of all four of them Cassidy, the one who has a coffee blog, doesn't know how to make a good ass coffee, and with type of people the other four are I firmly believe that none of them are allowed in the kitchen.

I feel like they also bond over comics, they both give me the vibes of they would be spiderman fans. In fact I think they would like a lot of the same pop culture stuff. (Moira introduced Cassidy to JoJo's Bizarre Adventures and Cowboy Beebop, I will not be told otherwise)

I also stated this in another post but they I do feel that they respect eachother, specifically I personally believe they were considered the bigger threats of Blackwatch because, again, they're the more calculated fighters. Genji and Gabe fight on emotions meanwhile Cassidy and Moira are fighting to survive. Meaning they're, you know, actually thinking things through-

Also they both dress up, have you seen they're skins? Those two are extra when it comes to designing outfits.

Umineko EP6. Replay Part 1

It is very interesting how much the dialogue in the wedding scene seems to put Battler in the role of what is usually considered the Bride's role in misogynistic society - Erola downright calls him his property, actually. With how Natsuhi was literally sold in a way like this and this is revenge for winning against Natsuhi I can imagine this being some kind of twisted humor on Erika or Bernkastel's side. I forgot Hachijo published theories online and not like, on books and stuff. The idea of her just spending all her day arguing online and getting heated about the truth of Rokkenjima is extremely funny to me.

Ange's sense of time is really fucked here with remembering stuff from the future, honestly a lot of the stuff wrt Ange's time kind of flew over my head the first time so I should pay more attention this time.

We go back to lambda etc, and uh, it's very clear Bernkastel doesn't like Erika at all anymore and Erika is desperate to prove herself to Bern. ....Battler and Beatrice's relationship in the meta is obviously set in a way to kind of mirror the story of Beato and Kinzo, and now we are in the "Beatrice 1 died and Kinzo is desperate to bring her back stage" aka the grooming your daughter stage so this episode sometimes get a little bit uncomfortable, probably intentionally so, since they are serving as hints to the actual truth, and even on first read you can tell the language of Battler's Piece-Beato is mirroring Kuwadorian-Beatrice. honestly, it would probably be more disrespectful to not have it be uncomfortable since otherwise

The fact that Lambdadelta is on Battler's side is pointed out! Of course, Ange refutes it, but it will be pretty relevant on ep8 especially.

Battler begins thinking about the role of a game master and how it's much harder than it looks, and the logic error gets some setup.... Battler smiling and blushing with excitement when he thinks he can show Beato his game is really cute, though, haha.... if a little sad, with full context.

Here is r07, through Featherine, telling us that just because something was as mall sin for Battler doesn't mean that it wasn't a big deal for Sayo.... and to please not dismiss her heart as we have seen that even Battler has accepted it by now. This is making me emotional.

While this is obviously paralleling Kinzo-Beatrice, they are obviously also referring to how Sayo-Beatrice was originally created as a way for her to kind of... compartmentalize away her feelings for Battler. She was literally created for Battler, as the game keeps pointing out.

Battler throws a tantrum and literally breaks the plates and all the food Beatrice had made for her, good one Battler, great way to do an apology. Genji reprimands him by asserting that they are truly Beatrice.

The whole discussion about 'scents' is interesting, because when i think of works that don't carry the same scent as the original work.... it's several of Higurashi's side arcs. But several others do too, so the fact that an endless amount of 'correct' forgeries can be made isn't wrong.

Kanon and Shannon have their usual discussion on loving vs not loving for 'furniture'.... it's been at least a while actually, ep5 was ironically the one ep that didn't really focus on either of them despite being an answer arc, it's really sad when Kanon jumps at her like "you are only pretending to be a human, George won't love you when he finds out more" and her just kind of giving weak affirmations that it is not true. I don't really have a lot to say that Kanon didn't say here haha - he confesses his feeling of being trapped, his disgust at himself, and both envy and admiration for Jessica.... it is kind of nice to be able to see the things come out of their own mouth instead of subtext, though also really sad. The scene ends with both of them agreeing they are nothing more than furniture.

Kanon talks about how if Shannon ever quit he would stop working and Jessica says she knows about that already.... kind of shows how at least at some point Sayo was making plans to leave the island entirely and giving excuses as to why both Shannon and Kanon would have to disappear.

This scene is really cute but the part about Jessica confessing she's mainly into Kanon because she was jealous of George and Shannon is always a bit sad to me.... I still think they are cute though.

Chick-Beato starts thinking about the meaning of names a bit depressed and Ange talks about how she feels bad for her - I am glad someone's pointing out how fucked up it is to do this to Chick-Beato. Featherine and Ange begin pointing out that Beatrice was created for Battler and eventually became the Witch-Beato we see in previous games, so the question right now is why (being abandoned after being promised help in your worst moment and then coming back at the worst possible time... Featherine explicitly points out 6 years = a thousand years. Erika tries to do a threatening badass entrance.... and starts coughing horribly. I am team Erika I feel bad for her.

Erika solves all of Maria's puzzles and makes everyone uncomfortable by trying to show off to everyone by solving literally children's puzzles.... haha Erika is so fucking funny on replay man it's so obvious she's just kind of struggling really hard to seem like a genius and to prove herself to Bernkastel.... I feel really bad for her like I know she's kind of evil but like.... i want the best for her. In Erika's perspective, this is like, they think they are surprised at her intelligence. but it's so obvious their reaction is more like "You are overthinking it, idiot, that answer doesn't make any logical sense you literally had to invent magic cheese for the answer"

Erika prompts conversation about the Witch portrait, Jessica points out a bit confusedly that the butterflies and scorpions are carry-overs from the Akujikima spirit stories. They point out that Kinzo started the Beatrice mentions way before the portrait. Feels like a Beatrice-Timeline refresher. This is when Beato and Beato meet btw. They start talking about how 'Beatrice' existed before the mission to serve Battler and before the portrait even. Again, more Beatrice-Timeline/History refresher.

Shannon points out Beatrice stole her stuff haha - shows Beatrice is both the excuse for Sayo's mistakes and also her power fantasy and excuse when playing pranks on others.

Ange talks about how Sakutarou is mass-produced here and how there's good magic and bad magic... Featherine kind of chides her for having a simplistic view of magic. Oh narration haha..... yeah Erika can own 1000 kids in an argument I am sure hahahaa.

Erika who is Definitely a Serious and Scary Threat then proceeds to be so proud of herself for owning a literal 9-year-old child and preventing anyone from butting in. Dlanor is like "are you serious rn" godddd..... Erika is so good.

There's something kind of sad about Erika saying she knows detectives won't be accepted anywhere and afterwards Shannon and George trying to understand her, I think.

George reveals he is an incel and the one to remember Battler's sin is.... George. Shannon gets obviously flustered at the fact he of all people remembered that.... Ange talks about how she finds guys like George creepy and deluded about women, hahaaha. The dagger that him changing the subject to children must have been for her....

Sayo immediately begins not saying much and just saying yes. over and over.... feels like she is basically disassociating away from this conversation honestly.

"...Erika thought she felt touch of pity in his gaze, and she averted her eyes uncomfortably" when talking about love, Battler starts pitying Erika in this chapter as opposed to last chapter where she was just kind of demonized by him, I think it shows how his perspective towards other people has changed... I do think Erika is a very pitiable person.

Everyone just kind of shrugs and accepts what Erika says haha. Like yeah, obviously ghost stories mix up together, Erika, a bit rude to mention it, though. And no one wants to be the one to tell her "Duh?"

The Beatrices talk about what each other was missing, kind of funny that the answer is "Sayo's decaying mental health and being given a bunch of money and bombs" but. Battler struggles some more with the Logic Error, and you get hints of future reds here.... reading these scenes makes me think about how Rika's time loops must have felt for her, just the feeling of nothing ever working and everytime you figure out something you get 20 other obstacles. This line is so sad jesus.... and the way Jessica affirms it makes me want to cry.

All the Ange interjections where it is shown Ange has the skill of Literacy are kind of funny.

Beatrice using the Golden Truth here is a pretty big hint into what it is. Something everyone agreed in the story to be true together.

Beato makes Battler cookies and he throws them away because of course. Denying this part of Beatrice is just as bad as denying any other part of Beatrice, Battler. Even Ange chastises him. Jesus christ I feel so bad for Beatrice. Ange wonders why Beatrice would "create a piece that loves Battler" instead of doing it herself.... well if you really liked someone and they harmed you in a way that you wanted to both keep your love and move on, what would you do? As much as I was mad at Battler this scene is really sad.... Battler really understands what she is doing now and is a crying mess when he thinks about it.

It is kind of interesting how Battler's relationship with Chick-Beato both mirrors and contrasts Kinzo-Beatrice. Kinzo was deluding himself into thinking his daughter was his lover, which ended up destroying her. Battler is deluding himself into thinking of her as his daughter and not a part of Beatrice, in order to be able to treat her better.

Zepar and Furfur give their introductions, I like them a lot, and they hammer down that only one of Kanon and Shannon can receive love. It's obvious everyone is playing the role of Sayo's internal thoughts rn. She thinks if anyone is to find out about her body the relationship will certainly, without a doubt, fail. Anything else is a miracle. She is completely trapped.

Jessica whinges a bit and finally kind of gets forced into the love duel and then Elder informs Chick that she is also part of the trial - haha considering this is probably representing a period of like 2 years before the trials, Sayo very much did not know Battler was going to come back and be included in here romance issues further! Erika's seal and room are rendered unusable by Battler and Erika... mentions wanting to have a smoke? Hahaha, that's kind of a cute visual. Dlanor mentions the emotion Erika seems to have from exposing magic isn't really a pleasure, Erika begins explaining about her past, and... haha that hit unexpectedly hard.... when you have found all the evidence that you are being lied to and gaslighted and you give the other person a chance to explain.... and they completely refuse and keep lying to you it really fucking hurts. I can't really blame Erika for thinking that loves causes you to see things that aren't there, there is a unique kind of fucked up harm that is suffered when you are lying to yourself for the sake of someone else and deep down, you know it.

Erika claims she is happy now that she's not tormented by nonred words, even though everything she does screens desperation and unhappiness....

Erika wishes she wasn't human, that she could use the red instead of having the blue gnaw at her heart, with no way to take them out.... but it's impossible to use the red, and so it's impossible to believe others. The fight between George and Eva starts right after and... Eva just asks George if he already fucked Shannon, jeez. And then she starts denigrating her parents which is.... ironic considering they are half sisters but anyway. George mentions how Eva only cares about what she wants for herself and Eva kind of goes apeshit, obviously being manipulative, but I do think Eva is doing what she thinks is best for George.... but her thinking of what is best is still fucked up, and it is based on what she thinks would be good, not considering anyone else's, especially not the person she's trying to control, opinions.

George is pretty ruthless (and correct) here about how his entire life has been controlled by Eva for her own ambitions and his own will crushed.... if he knew that I sure would love if he would stop hammering on Battler and Jessica how much They Nedd to Respect and Love Their Parents No Matter What... trying to quash others from reaching a necessary step into self-realization in order to appear as the Mature Wise ones. No wonder the symbolism used when describing this is a spider-web trapping George - his schedule sounds incredibly fucking hellish and crushes any opportunity for a kid to be a kid. It's not really a surprise he came out of it with weird ideas about socialization and women. The way Eva mentions having to see him while studying is really kind creepy and crushing. Not even when reading the damn book Eva wanted him to read was he allowed privacy.

"Both you and I.... need to leave our childhood days behind." It is interesting to acknowledge Eva's childhood trauma after this scene. George is probably aware since I doubt Eva wouldn't mention it.... I think it shows a kind of determination in George to both acknowledge the way his mother has been hurt while not letting that get in the way of looking out for himself. George takes the One-Winged Eagle staff, which represented Eva's dreams, and crushes it out of existence.

"He would intentionally spark jealously between women and revel in the harem, lapping up their flirting". It is kind of sad that this was probably one of the first times Kyrie experienced love, and that she already had an awful home life.... They were both in college and probably pretty young when they met, and Rudolf's antics are pretty much abusive. It's not really a surprise that after decades of having someone as volatile as Rudolf as a partner, she ends with murderous jealously.

....Kyrie says that Asumu acted as a total airhead who would NEVER talk about anything serious with Rudolf, but from the description Battler gives of her liking mystery and solving mysteries and stuff that's not really the impression I get. I think Kyrie's coping about the fact they had emotional intimacy.

Also, I uh, doubt she was afraid of vehicles as a lie as well. Asumu wasn't dumb like Kyrie perceived her at first but I doubt she was a huge mastermind as well, that's just Kyrie;s hatred and need to take away blame from Rudolf talking., Oh you are so wrong Kyrie, So wrong. It's really obvious how much resentment Kyrie has towards Rudolf by now. I can see why she saw his death as a way to start anew in EP7.

This is what Kyrie says to herself but it is absolutely not true, in reality, nothing changed, it was not fate, Kyrie's lack of ability to give birth nor Asumu's smarts that caused what happened to Kyrie; it was Rudolf and Rudolf's own actions alone that did that.

Kyrie's way of viewing love is so twisted and sad. She thinks any love that isn't constantly monitored and watched over 24/7 will always leave, it will be stolen. The only way to keep love alive is not let it have any room of escape.... it's not hard to see why she would think that after being stuck with a man who would betray her in any way possible if out of her sight for 5 minutes. It's so sad seeing this to me. How she doesn't only see any alternatives but thinks any alternatives don't EXIST anywhere in the world. It is not very different from how people who have been abused for many years assume all love must be as painful and fucked up as the one they have.

Kyrie is telling all of these to Jessica because she doesn't want Jessica to end up in the hell of regret she had for 18 years when Asumu was chosen over her - though truthfully her hell started when she met Rudolf and never ended.

There is something about how Jessica had to basically be couched into agreeing into this kind of destructive love, unlike George who agreed into it immediately. Sure it could just be because Jessica isn't as serious as George about their relationship.... but I do think Jessica probably has a healthier view of love than George does. Jessica does seem to believe that love is a mutual thing you can both grow from George uh, kind of doesn't seem to care much about Shannon's internal world and kind of sees her as just kind of a representation of his improvement and kind of as a conquest over Battler. Not that Jessica doesn't have a problem of thinking she has the answers to problems she has barely thought of, though. Haha, in magic Kyrie dies when Jessica acknowledges how fucked up her view of love is. I am glad she has the realization of how fucked up controlling love can be, and I will say that the fact life hasn't fucked up their view of things so much is something refreshing about the cousins compared to the adults....

[vacantgodling]

for ovw:

1, 9, 10

thank u for indulging me also i hope you’ve been well *tiny hand on face in a caring gesture*

1. the character everyone gets wrong

like most of them imo i’m not even gl 💀 however i think the one that annoys me the most (aside from hanzo dear god) is honestly zenyatta lowkey. like the number of times i see people make zenyatta to be the most kindest happiest boy that blushes easily whenever his partner (usually ram or genji) teases him makes me so ?? tired. like he’s shown to be playful. he’s teasing. he’s witty. he admits in a voice line that he may be a monk but he’s not a pacifist so they idea that he would balk at someone doing violence is silly. and like the infantilization of him is just so odd to me. he’s got more depth than i feel like many people want to give him credit for???

also this may be my own personal vibe but i feel like people dumb down lucio AND dva like extremely heavily. sure they’re young but lucio literally led a revolution? dva is for all intents and purposes a child soldier? yes the other characters look down on dva bc of her gaming but she’s still a very serious and devoted person to her cause she just likes to have fun as well? i feel like a lot of people just focus on the fun omg waifu energy she has and nothing else about her which is like. annoying. lmao.

9. worst part of canon

LIKE. THE LACK THEREOF— jk. there is a canon but it’s so threadbare and stupid. i think top contenders is the fact that the deadlock gang was est in 1976 before ashe was introduced to the lore, and then they retconned this information (kinda) to say that when ashe, cole and [redacted-we don’t know who the third person is] made the gang, they thought it being est in 76 would look cooler and get them more cred basically. that’s what they said and i fucking remember that shit.

also insert my entire rant about how the genji hanzo and kiriko storyline is ASININE for SO MANY REASONS. also the fact that all the japanese characters are old timey samurai and ninjas basically and have essentially canon allowed magic when like no one else (except zen Kinda?) and it’s just. it’s only them. for no reason. Lmao.

also this is super small but the fact that dva a korean has a mech when like. again japan is right there lmao. dva being an idol sure i get but like if we’re gonna do mechs then like bro 💀💀 it’s a small personal nitpick tho lmao.

also just the way there feels like there’s no plan which is why they stopped story modes production entirely bc they knew there was too much conflicting bullshit to string together a cohesive story. it’s giving mess for me.

10. worst part of fanon

i don’t engage with the fandom itself as much as i used to tbh bc all of my old ovw friends aren’t into it anymore (sans valen he’s also not as into it that much. not that i blame anyone. this game makes me want to commit acts of violence). i think my biggest annoyance was the ship factions and how so many of them hated hanzo LMAO. like y’all can’t see a complex character and give a fuck huh? like we will simp for widow bc of her ass and give her a pass because she’s a GirlBoss tm when she yknow. has done some horrible shit lmao??? we Adore reaper who is also a complex character that has done some Rancid shit. but for some reason back in the day people were SOOOOO up in arms against people who cared about hanzo. it was Exhausting. like mind ur business lmao. i don’t think anyone is wrong for liking literally any of ovw’s characters but like i never understood why the vitriol for han specifically lmao.

[livesinthebalance]

a starter for @apoapsis​

It is a simple fact of life to anyone who knows her that Abby is a Menace. Not in the way that Cole or Lena or Genji are… but a Menace all the same. [ Usually to herself, how-ever unwittingly or not. ]

She had been told, of course, in the vaguest terms that the one [ temporarily ] being held in confinement –– [ it was at least more like a room than a cell with plenty of things to entertain but still so solitary when not being visited by the various doctors and other related professionals as they passed through ] –– had a high potential to be dangerous, and yet… She knows what it’s like to be trapped in a room with only strangers passing through to pry into your condition, to pester you with every question under the sun, to poke and to prod and to test. She had hated it then, and she can’t imagine that anyone would feel any differently about it.

So, she approaches the [ containment ] room that had been constructed specifically for him during this period of time––to be certain his transition to be out with the others could be peacefully done––and walks right up to the not-glass and stops.

“Hello,” she greets with a smile and then hesitates, perhaps the slightest bit fidgety––fingers tapping out a repetitive pattern on the strap of the bag slung over her shoulder––though it isn’t to do with him. At least, not really. It has quite a bit to do with the concept of such a cold introduction to an unknown with not the slightest idea what to say. 

She quickly settles on the truth.

“My name is Abigail––though, Abby is what I prefer, actually––and I was wondering if you might like some company for a little while?” she questions, then suddenly, as though remembering, she brings her bag around in front of her and flips it open, fishing out a device and holding it up for him to see.

“I brought an old holopad of mine that I factory reset and then loaded different books and other media onto it? I didn’t know exactly the kind of things you might like, and I know you won’t be able to access the ‘net with it––” Considering the safety measures they have in place, “––but, I downloaded a fairly broad range so maybe something might appeal to you… ?”

[apoapsis]

@kinzokusuzume​​ said,

There's a platter of daifuku, mochi that has been made into a confectionery, placed on the table in front of Sigma. There's a variety of choices, round cakes filled with different ingredients like red bean paste, strawberries, or ice cream. "Thank you for saving me back then. These are daifuku, a traditional Japanese dessert. It has been over a decade since I have tried making them, or any other desserts, so I hope they are to your taste." he explains, pauses for a moment then sits down in a chair and exhales quietly.

"Of course I have tasted them to make sure they are edible but my taste is no longer the same as it used to be. So... I hope you enjoy them."

                    If one were to ask him, he could not articulate a proper reason why he is still entertaining any semblance of amiability with the cyborg.

His obligation had been repaid-- well, to an extent.

                     And yet... He finds himself invited to meet in private-- this time being a cheap motel. Something off the “record”, so to speak-- quiet and out of the way. Somewhere they can coexist temporarily outside of their factions; as friends, perhaps...? He as anxious as ever-- however, it’s more to do with the fact that he does not know how to present himself so casually. The chair’s too small for his massive body, leaving him to float passively with his long legs crossed beneath him. It’s a comfort, however, to find that Genji was... remarkably comfortable with his company. Sure, it may have to do with an error in perceiving the biorhythms of synthetic flesh and biology-- but he didn’t appear to harbor any of the skittishness SIGMA has come to expect from others that engage him.

In a way, that makes the astrophysicist feel inexplicably safer as well.

                      Wide, curious lavender eyes observe the platter with wonder as it’s placed before him, bearing such a colorful ensemble of delicious-looking treats. Embarrassing, how something as simple as food ensnares his attention so directly; he wonders if Genji had any inclination as to why this would be ideal for him. Did he know how little TALON truly fed him on any given occasion? He couldn’t possibly.... so what was the purpose?

“... ‘Daifuku’...?“ he echoes inquisitively, his head cocking to the side curiously as he watches Genji take his own seat across the little motel room table. “-- Ah.... You need not thank me! I... well, I operate by... favors, I suppose! You... You saved me-- s-so naturally I would-- should-- intervene, yes...?“

                    After a moment of hesitation, SIGMA opts to reach over and select one of the delicate little treats, turning it over between gloved fingers a couple times as he inspects it with interest before taking a tentative bite. The texture is unlike anything he’s had in quite some time-- not unpalatable, but strange, the way it sticks to his mouth as sweetened red bean paste washes over his tongue delightfully. 

“-- O-oh! So good!“ SIGMA chimes enthusiastically, a look of shock crossing his features before he opts to take a more confident bite of the daifuku. It’s hard to remind himself to chew when he wants to swallow the entire thing whole. So fucking delicious. Harder, still, to resist the surge of JOY that washes over him-- something that Genji would most certainly be able to detect. It’s one thing to have others spark his excitement-- but it was a completely separate thing altogether when others spark his elation. “-- You... made these? I-- I have never had anything quite like it! It is so good!” However, after a couple moments of delighted chewing, sucking the remaining residue from his gloved fingertips and haphazardly snatching up another, a thought occurs to him.

                “-- Wait... So you just...? You, a-ah... made these for me? Just for me?“ SIGMA asks, feeling a little sheepish at the notion. “... You did not have to make me anything! We are... even!” He doesn’t deserve something like this; they’re supposed to be enemies. If TALON had any idea he was entertaining such frivolities...

... Yikes!

                   “I-- uh... I cannot give anything to you in return... Y-you know that, right...?“ He admits shyly, gazing at him from under the crest of his brow as he politely gnaws on an ice cream filled daifuku, a gloved hand lifted to politely cover his mouth while he speaks. There’s an urge to reach across, to grip him, to demand to know why he continues to entertain SIGMA so openly; he feels as though he is being led on, to an extent.

As syrup-like as his fondness for others happened to be, he is not as unaware to the reality that people have and do continue to take advantage of his lackadaisical demeanor as others often assumed; a lot of the time, he chooses to entertain these selfish people. He loves the attention he gets when someone wants something from him-- but it’s for this very same reason that he cannot seem to take such blatant kindness and pleasantries as insignificant. After all, if anyone was genuinely so interested in simply feeding SIGMA, then he would never feel hunger again. 

                     ... No, it’s never quite that simple-- not for something that barely constituted being defined as “human” so loosely. The real question is, what does Genji want or expect from him in doing this? What exactly did the cyborg hope to achieve in continuing to meet with him like this...? More importantly, what is SIGMA willing to do? He supposes it depended upon what precisely was expected of him, but...

Well, he’s starting to like Genji.

                 Genji is the very first to express any real interest in what had become of SIGMA both prior to TALON’S involvement-- and following his release from Overwatch custody. An escape he would have never been able to attempt without his direct intervention. In addition to that, he likes how calmly and graciously Genji presents himself-- and he likes how Genji seemed to directly empathize with the ancient, abysmal hatred he has long-since buried as deeply as it would go.  In a way, Genji seemed to understand that facet of himself even more than SIEBREN, himself. He may have very well been the very first to show any form of understanding for what SIGMA feels about his circumstances-- and certainly the very first to actually... listen to him.  “... Are we...“ SIGMA begins, although the words hang in the air momentarily as he attempts to figure out how to articulate his question.

The pause draws on a little longer than he anticipated for it to.

                    “-- Does this-- ah... Do you intend for us to be... friends?”

“Is that why you’ve done all of this...? Even though... I am of TALON?“

[bloodfire09-games-and-ships]

Overwatch 2

is literally a fucking update! I can't. It literally is the same game with effort put back into it behind paywalls. 💀 Fans are trying to justify this. It's literally an update. That's a fact. A sequel is an individual game. They literally remade the same game for a big update and slapped a 2 on it and paywalls. Yes there's new stuff but it's all to justify it when in the end it's an update.

The story mode doesn't exist yet so bringing that up doesn't matter when that's probably also gonna be behind a paywall.

The SMS protection

could of worked if it wasn't literally set up to block out people who are more likely to be poor from playing their "free" game and used ages of fans to do safety features like lock out match chat (nothing but a hole) for minors. But, there could've been something else like using IP addresses to have only one account or so on that address or something? Iunno, I get the point but it wasn't about security. People are defending this by saying it's good because if you're poor it prevents you from spending money on the game...it's a free game, the money is supposed to be optional.

Characters

They have an out of character problem. To describe what it feels like with (not all but some) of the characters is their Overwatch version is A and now they're at C in development. To better explain this, Cassidy in OW1 is on his own doing his own thing. We got the comic about him recruiting Dva, Zayra, Pharah and he's gonna lead overwatch so now he has lines that relate to that. Other characters don't have that inbetween link so it's jarring and out of character. Kiriko literally has Genji animations recycled for her and her lore is just to get away with making basically a girl shimada.

Character redesigns

Battlepass, shop and free currency

It's literally cheaper for an Apex Battlepass that has 110 levels and gives you more than enough currency back to get the 2nd one for free when you basically complete it. ($11.95AUS) Overwatch is 80 levels with 0 currency. You've probably heard how bad the grinding is for Battlepass XP but let me go about it in another way.

I have no idea how much a daily is worth, I'll admit but I know weeklies are 5000xp each but Season and Lifetime challenges give you 500xp. That's a terrible reward for challenges that take a lot more work and time than a weekly and the weeklies earn you, upon completion of all of them, 60 coins. A battlepass is 1000 coins (14.95AUS) so theres no possible way to grind out enough for that season's battlepass and that's a lot cheaper than 1 skin so it'll take you months upon months of completing the same tedious weeklies, one being team kills, completely based on luck, for one skin.

It's a punishing system, especially for new players to the game who have to grind to unlock the basic roaster of heroes under the guise it's "overwhelming" to have access to all the heroes when there's so little variety in tank and support to begin with and limits their ability to find characters they enjoy because they're suck with like 5 heroes and all once free skins are stuck behind PAYWALLS and bundles. It's unfair and ridiculous and treats new players horribly.

Miscellaneous

Treatment of new players is terrible. Locking out the majority of characters and making them work for the ability to try a hero in a proper game just punishers new players. They're gonna be overwhelmed regradless but now they can't try whoever they want, locking heroes in a battlepass is just pure greed. There's no reason to limit the heroes behind paywalls. Overwatch does and will always have counters. Pretending it doesn't and locking heroes behind paywalls is just greed

E-rated shimadacest birthday bash bellow the cut teehee

-

The chant of Happy birthday to you reaches Hanzo's ears as he steps down to the cafeteria early in the morning. He'd meant to be the first person in the kitchen that day, to cook Genji his favorite food for breakfast. But somehow Angela, Cassidy and Zenyatta beat him to it. And to be honest, he's not exactly surprised; since their reunion a couple months ago it feels like he's constantly fighting for Genji's attention, with how popular he is among the Overwatch team.

The grimace of annoyance disappears from his face, however, as soon as Genji comes into view. Wide smile, sparkly-eyed, joyful as ever. It's his day, Hanzo reminds himself, joining the friendly choir. He deserves so much more. But, as always, it seems that Hanzo is the one getting more blessings than he should, because as soon as Genji sees him, he shouts, "Brother, come here! We should celebrate your birthday, too!"

He doesn't remember the last time he celebrated his own birthday. But of course Genji won't take no for an answer, jumping excitedly all the way to a flustered Hanzo and hugging his shoulders while the rest of the group repeats the song, this time calling out the elder brother's name.

"Did we miss your birthday, Hanzo, dear?" Angela asks minutes after, as Zenyatta hands out equally-sized cake slices.

Hanzo shakes his head, but it's Genji who cuts in to explain. "It'll be his birthday in a week, still. But we always used to have shared parties when we were kids, right Han?"

To which Hanzo can only nod, lost in memories of childhood birthdays that Genji's eyes bring out of the depths of his mind. Even when Mother wanted to give them their own separate parties, the two would insist in celebrating together.

"When Genji was born," he says before he even thinks about speaking. "Our mother told me he was my own early present."

The room breaks out in awws and cute!s, but Hanzo is still lost in Genji's face. The soft happiness of his expression. Not a single day has passed that he hasn't felt those words were true; his little brother was and is, in fact, the greatest gift the universe ever offered him.

Then, as he always would in their childhood, Genji reaches out and smears whipped cream on Hanzo's cheek. He just rolls his eyes, biting back laughter. "Really?"

Their friends seem to be distracted in conversation and Genji takes advantage of that, whispers, "Yeah, really." And leans in to lick Hanzo's face clean.

Genji doesn't immediately pull away and his breath on Hanzo's wet cheek sends a shiver down his spine. Hanzo tries to breathe, but every inhale fills his lungs with Genji's scent. He knows what his brother's doing, what he's hinting at. Their most intimate celebrations have resurfaced in his memories as well and he can't wait to have a chance at them again.

"I have a gift for you," Genji says in his ear. "Come to my room later."

Hanzo nods and Genji pulls away as soon as the door swings open, and yet another Happy birthday to you crowd approaches. He finally manages a grounding breath. The night can't come sooner.

They're surprised with another cake, another surprise party that night. This time Genji lets Hanzo hang in a corner and takes the spotlight, takes all the hugs and good wishes and gifts. The evening seems to go on forever as he sits in absolute stillness, though inside Hanzo is bubbling in anticipation for the moment everyone agrees to head to bed and he can finally, finally have Genji all for himself.

Reinhardt is the last to get dragged away, drunk and rambling, and after helping with the cleanup, Hanzo bids everyone goodnight and slips away to his room. Deep down he feels stupid, getting all dollied up for Genji, of all people, but they get so little alone time here in Gibraltar that his instinct is to try and leave a good impression. Has to shake himself in front of the mirror, grab the box of Genji's present and leave the room before he starts changing clothes all over again.

It takes no time at all for Genji to respond with come on in when Hanzo knocks on his door. When it slides open, it offers Hanzo the sight of literal heaven: Genji, lying in bed with an arm behind his head, all his flesh bits exposed (which is rare, so rare, for him to let them out, and it's a pity because he's beautiful), legs spread wide. Hard. Wet. Delicious. Stroking himself leisurely.

For a moment Hanzo stands by the door, after it closes behind him, just watching. Genji's pupils are blown, his face, relaxed. His mouth, slightly open for easier breathing. Either he's had something, or he's already peaked while waiting for Hanzo to arrive, which is such a lovely idea – that Genji was so excited prepping for their birthday bash that he couldn't hold back and made himself cum.

Hanzo's insides feel warm like molten chocolate just at the thought. He sets Genji's gift down on his desk for later, starts tugging off his clothes as he steps closer to the bed. Genji's breath quickens as he watches Hanzo strip, delicious little sounds escaping his parted lips. Hanzo sits beside him on the bed, fully naked and already semi hard, and at this point Genji's hand is going so fast it's almost blurry.

"Is this my gift?" Hanzo asks, taking note suddenly of how low his voice has dropped.

Genji just shakes his head, no.

His eyebrows shoot up. "There's more?"

Yes.

"Goodness, Genji," he sighs and finally touches Genji, just a heavy hand settling down on his thigh. Rubbing gently upwards, feeling the cold metal that makes him him. "You spoil me rotten, brother."

In response Genji shifts, pulling his other hand free and reaching out for Hanzo, who leans in as Genji's fingers slip behind his head for a kiss. It's sweet and almost chaste; Genji has very little energy to focus on the kiss right now, so Hanzo takes his chance to bite his lips, suck on his tongue. Explore his mouth as deeply as he wants, as Genji only moans and tugs at his hair.

"Tell me something, birthday boy," he mutters as their mouths part, though his face remains inches from Genji's. "How many times have you come already?"

Genji huffs an attempt of a chuckle. It melts into a groan when Hanzo's hand slips up his inner thigh to gently fondle his balls.

Once, he mouths and Hanzo smiles proudly at his correct guess. Years have passed and still he knows his little brother like the back of his hand.

He dips his head to nose down the side of Genji's face, the place where metal meets skin. "You want to come again?" Hanzo asks, and Genji nods in response. Yes.

Poor thing. There's a gorgeous sheen of sweat on his forehead and the vents on his shoulders are releasing a gentle puff of lukewarm steam. Hanzo would love to keep Genji on this edge for hours, to push him to the limits of sanity with lust and desire, but he fears that it might be too much for his circuits.

Once again assuming correctly, he dips two fingers into Genji, finding that he's slick and loose. As soon as pushes them in, Genji shouts, spurts of liquid pleasure painting his chest. He shakes and shivers for a minute, then fully relaxes back on the bed, a satisfied grin painted on his face. Beautiful.

But there's more yet to come.

"Hey," Genji murmurs when at last he opens his eyes again. "You wanna grab those for me?"

Hanzo looks over his shoulder at the place that Genji's pointing out. He didn't see it at first when he walked in because obviously there had been more interesting things in sight, but beside the box that he put down on Genji's desk, there are two other packages, one short and slim and the other one a lot taller than the first. Hanzo frowns, wondering about the contents, but dips in to quickly peck him on the lips, then slowly pulls his hand free (as Genji gasps and sighs) to go retrieve all three of the boxes.

"The bigger one is yours," Genji explains from the bed as he makes his way back. "The smaller one is... Ours."

There's a soft flush on his cheeks when Hanzo gives him a quizzical look. He decides to open the smaller one first.

Well, after Genji opens his.

So once he's returned to his place at Genji's side, he puts the two other boxes down and offers his brother the one that he brought in. "Here," he explains. "I know you have an unlimited supply of these things, but... Kiri got me in touch with Asa. These are Yamagami originals."

Something shiny and delighted crosses Genji's eyes, but when he reaches out towards Hanzo, instead of grabbing the box, he wraps his hand around Hanzo's cock.

"Open it for me?" The shit-eating grin would be audible even if Hanzo weren't staring at his face. "I've kinda got my hands full at the moment."

And well, can he argue with the birthday boy? Certainly not.

Hanzo bites a smile of his own, trains his breathing and his eyes on the package and rips it open as gently as he can, with shaky hands of his own. Out slips a small box of polished wood; sliding open the lid reveals a set of shiny shuriken.

"Damn." Genji whistles. "Fuck me, these are pretty."

"Language," Hanzo reprimands, because no matter how much time passes he'll always be the older brother.

"Oh sure, sorry Han," he's rolling his eyes and smirking. "Stroking your dick is fine, but I can't swear?"

"Precisely," he says just to further annoy him, but Genji just laughs it off. Cautiously, he puts away the box, secured safely inside a drawer on Genji's side table.

Hanzo's breathing hiccups twice as shudders run through him. Genji slows the pace of his hand.

"Open the smaller one now?" He suggests and there's a tone of anxiety and excitement in his voice that does the very opposite of what he intended by going slower on Hanzo's cock.

He picks up the box. It's light and doesn't produce sounds when shaken. Genji jabs at Hanzo's shoulder with his free hand, going come on! as he calmly pulls it open.

And a pink little vibrator slips out. Because of course it's a sex toy.

"You can control it through an app–"

"I know how these work, Genji," Hanzo says as he removes the thing from its packaging. He's mulling it over and thinks he probably still has the app installed on his phone since the last time... Well, that was years ago...

"Who did you use it on?" Genji asks. There's no hint of jealousy in his voice; his eyes are hooded but curious. His hand stills entirely when Hanzo leans down to search his clothes for the phone.

"Doesn't matter," is all he says, because truly, it doesn't.

"Who did you use it on, Han?" He's having fun prodding at Hanzo, the asshole.

But Hanzo isn't going to dwell on the past now. He sets up the connection, checks that the toy is working as intended, then turns to Genji with a smirk of his own.

"Tell you who I'm about to use it on, now," he says, pushing the toy deep inside Genji's ass. "Happy birthday to us, Genji."

The two explode into laughter, but Genji's quickly turns to moans as Hanzo turns on the toy. He sets it up to a low vibration at first, just to test the waters. Genji is quick to recover from the initial shock and just sighs, rolling his hips to the rhythm of the toy.

Hanzo keeps his phone close, but sets it down on the bed and reaches for the third and last box.

"Ah, you're going to like this one," Genji breathes. His hand returns to Hanzo's cock and Hanzo moves closer to him on instinct, indulging the touch.

From inside the box he retrieves a bottle of very expensive sake, the type that they don't find outside of Japan. He hasn't had a taste of this one since... Well, probably since he fled the country, all those years ago.

He looks from the bottle to Genji, then back at the bottle, then back at Genji. He's grinning proudly as Hanzo frowns.

"This must have been expensive, brother," he murmurs. Genji's always been one for irrational expenses.

"Hanzo, please." He's glaring daggers at Hanzo, "Can't I spoil my older brother rotten?"

Somehow the response breaks his defenses. Yes, Genji can do whatever he wants, he deserves it, even if what he wants to do is coddle Hanzo, who does not deserve it.

But this is their birthday bash, after all. He opens the bottle, takes a long swig, then passes it over to Genji. It's delicious, even more so when Hanzo leans in to kiss Genji and taste it on his tongue.

"Thank you," he murmurs into his mouth and Genji smiles, kisses him again.

"Happy birthday to us," Genji parrots. He's not drunk yet, but Hanzo feels lightheaded with how much love he has for his brother.

Then Genji is picking up the pace of his hand and Hanzo takes his phone, cranks up the vibrator just slightly. He straddles Genji's chest (which is sticky, he'd forgotten, with cum, but once he realizes it he loves the feeling) and inches closer, closer, until Genji's hand slides over to his hip and instead he takes Hanzo in his mouth.

It's been over a decade, but nobody ever knew quite how to blow Hanzo the perfect way like Genji does.

He passes Hanzo back the bottle, grabs at his ass with both hands and goes to town, swirling his tongue and pressing and sucking, and grazing his teeth just slightly, just that edge of pain that makes Hanzo's eyes roll back into his skull. When Hanzo grabs his hair and starts to fuck his mouth, he knows to relax and take it, to groan around his cock, sending sparks up Hanzo's shaft. And when Hanzo buries himself as deep as he can possibly go, to spill his pleasure down Genji's throat, he swallows it all, nice and pretty like the little slut he is.

He's so good that Hanzo figures he deserves to have the toy amped up yet again.

At this point Genji is squirming, cock hard and leaking again, and frankly Hanzo could just watch him fuck himself crazy on the toy – he does sit back for a moment, taking sips of sake and enjoying himself. But then he thinks, well, it's Genji's birthday. Maybe birthday boy has other ideas.

He leans closer to Genji's face again. "Tell me what you want, brother," is but a whisper.

Genji grins wildly. "Told you before," he stutters. "Fuck me."

Hanzo's hands are already reaching for his thighs. "With or without the toy?"

"With."

Gods, I love him.

The bottle gets abandoned in favor of something much, much better. Hanzo sits between Genji's legs as he pulls his knees up, offering his pretty ass and his pretty, puffy hole. Genji had lubed himself up thoroughly and it shines, leaking out of him. He grabs at the handle on the toy so it doesn't get lost and starts pushing in, inch after inch as Genji moans obscenely, and Hanzo can only imagine how good it must feel, how full he must be, how the vibrations must be shaking his very bones.

Because now he feels it too, the toy, pressed against his cock in the tight space of Genji's body. And it's out of this world. No one should be allowed to feel so good.

He grabs at the back of Genji's knees, pushing them up, and starts thrusting. Slowly, carefully, watching his face for signs of overstimulation. And though his eyes are glassy and locked onto Hanzo's, he attempts a smile, falling back into frowns of absolute pleasure every time he sinks all the way in.

And Hanzo catches himself thinking that could live inside Genji...

Then Genji is fiddling with a phone, Hanzo's phone, and suddenly the vibrator jolts, hitting maximum power. Genji shouts and Hanzo gasps in surprise, and he has to stop moving because it's too much – his whole body shakes with the toy and he comes so hard he slips out of Genji, paints the bed with his cum. Genji convulsing beneath him, cum shooting in all directions, but he's laughing frenziedly, hysterical with pleasure.

"Hanzo!" He's being loud, Hanzo is certain that people in other rooms down the hall can hear it. "Hanzo!"

"I'm here, Genji," gently tugging the toy out of his body until he stops shaking and Hanzo can pull Genji to his lap. "I'm right here."

They breathe together, satisfied and spent at last.

Genji grins at him. "Best. Birthday. Ever."

And all Hanzo can do is laugh.

They should really go for a bath soon; sweat aside, Genji is all sticky with cum and Hanzo knows he'll find himself just as grimy. But for now they can rest back on the bed (which is also in dire need for a change of sheets), and just breathe and relax.

It is their birthday, after all. They can indulge.

Confession

Pairing: Young! Hanzo Shimada × Gender Neutral! Reader

Warnings: slight cursing, awkward "date", Genji being a bit of an dumbass

Summary: Hanzo has been into you for sometime, but he's too shy to tell you about his feelings. His playboy brother tries to help him

Author’s Note: Short one shot, cuz why not. I haven't write any one shots for Overwatch characters, so I'm happy that I finally wrote something. Enjoy!

"Thank you for today. I had so much fun!" You hugged Hanzo, before entering the taxi he got for you. He wanted you to get home safe. Hanzo just mumbled a shy "You're welcome." And waved while you closed the door and the taxi drove away. He signed happily, before going to the Shimada Castle and meeting his brother, Genji, waiting for him at the entrance with a visible smirk on his face. "And what do you want?" Hanzo asked, annoyed by Genji's facial expression.

"When are you going to tell them that you have feelings for them?" The younger Shimada asked, leaning against the frame of the entrance.

"Don't be foolish, _____ is just a friend." Hanzo bypassed his younger brother and went inside. Genji just signed, shaking his head and following his brother. "You can fool anyone else, but me, Hanzo. I know the way you look at them. I can see the way you get shy whenever ____ is around." Hanzo stopped. He knew lying had no purpose anymore. Genji knew him better than he knew himself. And as much as Hanzo didn't want to admit it, he knew his brother was right.

You were always so kind, caring and ready to help. Whoever was spending time with you, was feeling at ease, because of the type of person you were. It was no wonder that Hanzo was completely head over heels for you. He wanted to tell how he felt, he wanted to be more than "just friends". But he had no idea how to do it. He also didn't want to risk losing you and ruining your friendship.

"So what do you propose?" He turned around, crossing his arms, trying to hide that Genji just read him like a book. "You know I'm an expert when it comes to stuff like this. With my help, they'll be yours." Genji put his arm around Hanzo, while explaining to him everything that was on his mind in detail. Hanzo already knew it was not a good idea, but due to the fact he didn't have any other ideas how to confess his feelings, he was open to pretty much anything his brother would say. He has always been good with people and he has been in many relationships, so it was a good idea to listen to him, right?

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Hanzo mumbled while adjusting his earbud. He was on his way to meet you, but he was more nervous than he usually was. As much as he was aware that Genji could have almost anyone he wanted, Hanzo wasn't sure if his brother's plan would work on you. 

"Of course this will work. It works on everybody, so no worries." Genji shook his head, talking with his cat headphones on, being on call with Hanzo, keeping a safe distance from him. "Just listen to what I say and it's gonna be fine."

"Alright, but are those headphones really necessary? Don't you think they're too flashy?"

"They're cute as fuck and I can hear everything perfectly, so shut up." Genji whined, annoyed by his brother's question. 

"Okay, but you better don't turn the lights on, because if _____ will see you-"

"Hi, Hanzo!" You said with excitement, scaring the said man, making him jump and scream. He was not expecting you so soon. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" You blushed from embarrassment.

"No no no its alright." Hanzo replied while fixing himself. He couldn't help, but a little mad hearing his brother laugh in the earbud. He heard Genji try to speak while calming down. "Tell them a compliment, okay? Tell them they look nice or something."

"You look nice today, _____. That's a really cute outfit…?" That was really out of character, not that Hanzo never said you looked nice or told you a compliment. It was really rare, because he was getting embarrassed easily.

"Oh thank you. You look good yourself." You smiled at him, seeing how uncomfortable Hanzo looked, hoping to make him relax. "Should we go for a walk?"

"Ye-yes, we should." The older Shimada nodded quickly and you two started walking.

"Put your arm around them." Genji whispered into the microphone. Hanzo had a moment of doubt and Genji could see that. "Agh, just do it. Trust me." So Hanzo did it, you jumped slightly. Hanzo wasn't that much a fan of physical touch, so you could tell something was wrong. Buy you decided to ignore it for now and started talking like everything was fine. "Good job, Hanzo."

You and Hanzo got to the park, full of cherry blossom trees. At this point Genji was trying to think of a cheesy pickup line to lighten up the mood. "You know what? Tell them "Your hand look heavy - can I hold it for you?"."

"What? I am not going to say that. That's the worst pickup line I've ever heard." Hanzo mumbled, hoping you didn't hear anything.

"Come on Hanzo, it's gonna make ____ laugh. I promise."

"No I–"

"Hanzo, is everything alright?" You sounded worried. You took his arm off of you and stopped walking. "You've been acting weird. What is going on?" Hanzo was too stunned to speak, so was Genji. Neither of them knew what to say. "Are you making fun of me or what?" You signed.

"Hanzo, just play it cool, okay?" Genji muttered. "Gimme a sec, I need to think." But Hanzo didn't need to. He knew what he had to do, so he took the earbud out, hearing his brother protest, before turning it off. "What the heck are you doing? We're fucked." Genji complained, taking his headphones off to listen to the conversation.

"_____, I'm so sorry. I was just trying to…" Hanzo got stuck, he wanted to say it, but he got anxious. But he knew if he wouldn't say anything, your friendship would probably end.

"Trying to do what?" You asked, crossing your arms. You looked impatient.

"I was just just trying tell you that I like more than a friend, but I was so scared I would loose you." He finally said it. Hanzo's face got completely late. "I wanted to confess to you for a while now, but… I had no idea what I would do if l lost you, so I was quiet. I apologize you had to find out like that." He couldn't bear to look you in the eyes.

"Well… It's nice to know you feel the same." You relaxed a little, knowing that Hanzo had a crush on you.

"Do you feel the same?! Why didn't you say anything?" He looked up at you, being surprised by your confession.

"Of course I do. And I didn't say anything, because like you, I was scared of losing you."

"So would you like to give us a try?"

"Yes, would you like to?"

"Absolutely!" Genji couldn't help, but let out a silent scream, hearing that everything went well. 

Hanzo has told you about Genji's plan, you couldn't help, but laugh at the whole plan. It was dumb, buy you appreciated that Genji was trying to help.

[flbrokensoldier]

Hi, I don't know if it's possible, but how about a scenario with the Overwatch characters with an s/o, which has no face (not in the gore sense) but is literally just a black space where you can only You can see your eyes and that you usually wear a mask so as not to scare people, how would you act? (If you need more reference images let me know) the genre can be of the s/o can be at your choice.

Have a nice day/afternoon/night :D

Woah, this is definitely unique! I love the creativity but writing this kicked me in the ass so it took a while to post 😭

I love this idea though, it's very unique and out of the box!

Cole Cassidy

As a friend, he would not mind at all.

I'm fact, he'd think it's cool!

Anyone who picks on you, gets a nice introduction to Peacemaker.

He doesn't stand for anyone picking on you other than him.

Even then, if it bothers you, he doesn't continue it. He'll stop ASAP.

He loves drawing on masks you don't use anymore and accidentally makes some nice art, which you can either hang on your wall or wear it.

He loves poking the mask, as if it'll do something interesting.

He's all about physical touch, even if he is in this circumstance.

Beware of boops.

They will happen.

Can't avoid them anymore.

Mwahahaha!

NOW AS A BOYFRIEND.. He would probably be a bit upset, seeing as there's no face to kiss and this man is VERY VERY physically affectionate.

Again, he loves physical touch.

He still loves you for who you are though.

He will spoil you with kissed on the mask though, even if he gets none in return.

Be prepared for more snuggles than anyone else gets.

He loves you for who you are, remember that.

OH AND HE'S NOT AFRAID TO SHOW YOU OFF AS HIS S/O.

And he's not afraid of you, never was <3

Hanzo

Let's be honest, he'd probably be shocked and confused at first but wouldn't mind.

If anyone tried to bully you for it, they'd get an arrow at their feet.

"Next time I won't miss." Is usually what they hear after they see who shot the arrow.

He loves to decorate the masks though.

He may not say it but he's really good with art.

He paints most of your masks when they need a new paint job.

It makes him feel important so let him do that for you.

He also likes to watch over you, he realizes you are special and he feels the urge to protect.

Let him do that too, he'll feel great if you let him. <3

As an S/O he wouldn't mind at all, he'd kiss the mask regardless.

He'd do it in public too just to confuse people and get a rise out of them.

It amuses him and gives him a reason to beat them up.

Like Cassidy, he isn't scared and never was.

He treats you as if you were another person in a crowd of people.

Yet he loves you like no other.

Genji

As a friend, he was fascinated.

He could stare for hours, not to be rude though.

As being a cyborg himself, he thinks it's cool he finally has someone he can relate to. (In a sense)

He absolutely is protective of you.

He makes sure you're by his side during battles or that you're within his sight at the very least.

He would try to find an extra mask of his to give to you if you're in a tight situation and your other mask broke. (Can't tell me he don't carry spares with the amount of headshots people do)

He would have your back in that situation 100%

He would probably be the type to try and touch the nothingness, just to see if it has any feeling to it.

If you get annoyed he'll gladly stop.

Get use to cuddles. He will cuddle too, seeing as you guys can't kiss, he will cuddle.

Now as a friend he'd have your back.

Give you plenty of affirmations because he has them for himself and figures he'd share. (Which is so cute <3)

And he'd still be just as protective.

Mercy

Now Mercy, even if there is no cure, she'd help with whatever she can.

She'd probably try to see if there's a cure, not out of spite or being mean, just out of the fact that she's a doctor, she's curious and truth be told her approach about it all is super sweet.

She likes to kiss your hand as a sign of respect and love.

She will hug you a lot.

She loves watching over you in battle, your own guardian angel.

SHE WILL FLY OFF WITH YOU IF NEED BE.

If you're out in public and your mask falls for some reason or broke, she will cover for you.

Overall she's a deeply caring lady and she would literally die for you.

She also shows that she loves you by writing little letters for you before she leaves for work, or she leaves little craft things she made which are always cute and always say something super sweet.

Your room is filled with her craft pieces.

For dates, if you're comfortable you can go out in public, or stay at home watching movies or shows. Either way she's down for whatever.

She spoils you when she can, either with food, little gifts, or something you mentioned you wanted. she will remember that and she will give you whatever you wanted at that time. <3

Again, I hope you like it! I'm so sorry this took so long, also this is my first time writing for Genji, Hanzo, and Mercy! (Also Kiriko isn't in this because I couldn't think much after this.)

If this also came off offensive or aggressive apologies! 😭

Anyways ty for the request!
