#long Zarya's post

[namig42]

random OC ask: if your OC inexplicably had access to real-world media, what character would be their favorite? what character would they unreasoningly despise? why?

Alright, I'm gonna speed round their favorites, then I'll come back in another post with the ones they loathe.

Also hello, sorry I took forever to respond, I have been on vacation and also got a pretty ring from my new fiancee (I have been saying that word too much lol)

My OCs Favorite Fictional Characters!

Wyndolyn

Wyn would adore Zarya from Overwatch. She would see the badass buff babe who talks about hugging like Siberian bear and want to be just like her. (This is absolutely not based on real life experience.)

Helena

Mizu from Blue Eye Samurai. Helena would think that she's sooo cool and complex, finding comfort in someone who isolates themselves still managing to find connections in the world. She would also buy a sword and cosplay as her.

Dahlia

Aang from ATLA. She'd love Aang's goofy, playful nature and his whole character arc, from a kid running from his duties to a powerful bender that finds a way to maintain his beliefs, no matter the obstacle.

Dahlia would love the Avatar series, and since she grew up so sheltered, she'd have no idea that it's actually a super popular show that there's a huge community for. She'd definitely bring it up in conversation thinking that she's introducing something cool and new to people, then quickly learn how many people have loved the show for years and be pleasantly surprised that she can just gush with people.

Vero

Vero would be a big fan of musicals and classic films. She strikes me as someone that would resonate and admire Veronica from Heathers a lot, and when she learns about the musical version of Heathers? Forget about it. She's learning all of Veronica's parts in a day.

Sahed

Sahed is definitely a DnD and LotR nerd that has the lore memorized from both franchises. He has all the books and a bunch of art, posters, and figurines of his favorite character Smaug that would clutter up his room. Smaug would also inspire him to become a scaley, just sayin.

Sahed would also love the Fire Emblem series, and his favorite character would probably be someone like Tharja (practices curses on her own daughter) or Arvis (the main antagonist in FE4 who wipes out a whole army with one meteor shower).

Velora

Velora is a cozy gamer for sure. She'd love building her island to perfection in Animal Crossing and marrying every townie in Stardew Valley. Though she'd optimize her gameplay and romance everyone in town, her favorite character in Stardew that she would always come back to would be Shane. She likes being able to help him and earning his affection, since it always seems really genuine during his supports.

Gardon

Gardon would love a conflicted father archetype like Joel from The Last of Us. He would gravitate towards flawed characters who find some redemption in the world, and Joel is the epitome of that.

Lin'rai

Lin would love Marceline from Adventure Time and ship Bubbline so hard. Her dream girl is very similar to PB, and she sees a lot of herself in Marcy. She'd also be a Steven Universe fan who relates a lot to Pearl and simps over Rose Quartz, even though she knows how problematic Rose is. Mystery Girl from the episode "Last One Out of Beach City" would also be high on her crush list.

---

Okay, this took way more thought than I anticipated, but this all tracks pretty well.

My partner saw Vero being into Heathers and went, "really??" He didn't think Vero would be a Veronica/Heathers person, but when I asked what he thought she'd like, he was like, "I don't know, I just didn't get Veronica vibes."

Useless. I can't wait to marry this dingus.

[reformedmercymain]

I have no desire to put this person on blast but my god it really shows when people didn’t play high elo overwatch pre role lock (not to mention how hard it was to have a completely stagnant meta for pro teams who weren’t the kings of it like titans and shock, which I wouldn’t bring up unless this person wasn’t mainly talking about OWL, which they were)

Russian Superstition

All of the below are sourced from here. Cut for length.

Superstitions in Russia

Russians are considered very superstitious. Their lives are filled with superstition which most non-Russian are unfamiliar with. Soothsaying on New Years’s has traditionally been important. Most Russians claim they are not superstitious; they are only recognizing superstition as a way of hedging their bets by not tempting fate. [Source: Carol Williams, Los Angeles Times, Yelena Minnok Encyclopedia of Superstitions in Russia]

There has traditionally been a strong interest in parapsychology, some of which is regarded as “scientific,” in Russia. There are numerous folk stories involving vampires and witches. In 2001, Putin signed a bill outlawing “electromagnetic, infrasound…radiators” and others weapons of “psychotronic influence.”

Superstition experienced a rebirth after the collapse of Communism. Olga Miserva, a parapsychologist at Moscow’s Open Spiritual Center, told the Los Angeles Times. “Reliance on superstition shows up the inadequacy of our internal knowledge and self-confidence problems that have been intensified by the insecurity inflicted on people by the complete change of the world hey know…There are a lot of problems and a lot of reason for people to be fearful. People want to fill these voids with a little something they can believe in. They look to the stars for guidance and put their faith in these old superstitions to feel they have control over the future.”

Common Russian Superstitions

The Russian equivalent of knocking on wood is spitting over one’s shoulder three times after making a careless remark about possible danger or presumed good. The superstition is based on the belief that the devil lives on one’s left shoulder and an angel loves on the right shoulder, and spitting on the devil is a way of preventing him from causing mischief. Pretending to spit three times over one’s shoulder and then knocking on wood is a superstition for good health.

Many Russian superstitions trace their origins back to pre-Orthodox pagan times. To ward off evil spirits one must touch the floor with the right foot first after waking up in the morning. If a person accidently puts on their shirt inside out he or she must place it on the floor and step on it before putting it on the correct way.

Other common Russian superstitions: 1) A dropped butter knife means that a member of the opposite sex will visit. 2) If you want to have a son wear a hat during the moment of conception. 3) If you have a bad dream and you don’t want it come true you must retell the dream in the morning while running water from a faucet so the dream goes down the drain. 4) Before embarking on a journey, one must “sit for the road,” or sit silent on one’s luggage or bed before leaving.

Domovoi and Shaking Hands at Thresholds

A common Russian superstition is that one must never shake hands, kiss, sleep or sit near a threshold such as a door. Thresholds are where brownie-like creatures known as domovoi dwell and kissing or shaking hands is regarded as an offensive invasion of their space.

Non-Russians visiting the home of Russian friends often violate this superstition by greeting their hosts with handshakes or embrace at the doorway. Some Russian believe that the misfortunes on the MIR space station began after arriving American astronauts shook hands with Russian cosmonauts when they entered the station.

Domovoi are believed to follow the head of the household when a family moves. There are elaborate rituals to attract domovoi when a new household is established after marriage. A newlywed groom, for example, does not carry his bride over the threshold, but rather lets loose a cat call which is supposed to summon a domovoi. Cats are the only creatures that can communicate with domovoi.

Mirror Superstitions

In order not to obstruct the journey of departed spirits to the afterlife, Russians believe, one must not obstruct the view of a mirror. Broken mirrors are considered an omen of misfortune for a friend and looking at your own reflection in a broken mirrors is regarded as very dangerous.

People are not supposed to eat in front of mirrors or look at an image of a candle reflected in a mirror. Many superstitions involve mirrors because they are regarded as the threshold between the world we know and the world of spirits.

One of Russia’s most widely held superstitions is when someone returns home to pick up something left behind he or she must look in a mirror before leaving again. Some people say that you have to stick out your tongue or make an ugly face when looking in the mirror. The idea behind this belief is that when a person leaves the house the first they accompanied by a guardian angel. If they return from outside the guardian angel is left behind and is recalled with a look in the mirror.

Bad Luck and the Evil Eye

Whistling indoors, yellow flowers, red hair are all considered bad luck. If you whistle indoors, all your money will fly out the window. Yellow is associated with sadness. Redheads are regarded with suspicion because there are so few of them.

Returning a borrowed item after sunset or mending a hem or button while wearing a damaged garment, spilling salt on a table are also considered bad luck. If you spill salt you must throw it over your left shoulder.

One should never celebrate a holiday, birthday, anniversary or other happy event in advance. Don’t look at a baby if you have black eyes. Don’t light a cigarette from a candle. The number 13 it is not an unlucky number in Russia. An even number of roses or any other flower is considered appropriate only at a funeral.

Evil eye superstitions are very much alive in Russia. The Cossacks have traditionally worn black fur hats with a red and black “god’s eye” to ward off bullets. Many Russians believe that that some people have the power to cast the “evil eye”. A babka, an old woman faith healer, told the New York Times, she can recognize the “evil eye” but she never uses it. “I cast only good spells,” she said. “I never use the evil eye.” To “disinfect” oneself from a curse cast by the evil eye pass a candle three times in front of an icon.

Supernatural Beliefs

The collapse of Communism brought about a resurgence in astrology, ESP and fortunetelling. Respected newspapers contain advertisements offering the services of witches, warlocks and clairvoyants. Doctors regularly advise their patients to see faith healers. Lilia Voroneheza, a popular psychic and faith healer, told the Los Angeles Times in the 1990s she was so busy she had to turn away customers. Another psychic, Anatoly Kashpirovsky, was elected to Parliament in 1993.

The Third Eye, a television show about the supernatural, was one of the most popular shows in Russia. A government report issued in 2001 said that Russian scientists were trying to create “effective methods to influence of humans at a distance.” The KGB investigated paranormal occurrences.

A Russian woman named Rosa Kulehova demonstrated her ability of eyeless sight at the Moscow Academy of Science. After being blindfolded she read material placed in front of her using the third and forth finger on her right hand.

Astrology

Astrology has became quite popular in Russia since the fall of Communism. Astrology columns are a fixture in almost every magazine and newspaper. Callers can receive personalized astrology accounts using their phones. The Kremlin used to have a staff of astrologers, whose job was to advise the late Present Boris Yeltsin.

Russian horoscopes tend to be gloomier than their American counterparts. Negative days usually outnumber “fortunate” days by a two to one margin (the ratio is reversed in most American horoscopes). The alignments of planets are viewed as inauspicious days in which it better to stay home and not make decisions. In the U.S. these days are viewed as obstacles that can be overcome.

By Western standards, Russian astrology reports are very blunt. One report in the Kommersant newspaper read: “Today is a largely dangerous day. You may end up broke…This day is entirely unsuitable for an undertaking of any sort…The risks of accidents is high. You shouldn’t expect anything good from your family life today…It’s better not to gamble on a day like this, whole fortunes are lost.” The following day the paper reported: “Fraud, cheating and crooked deals are only a small fraction of the troubles that threaten to disrupt all your plans today.” [Source: Washington Post]

Typical Russian horoscope entries read, “don’t get frantic when you find all your life savings are gone,” “your deliveries will not arrive on time, or will never arrive,” foreigners will cause you a lot of trouble today,“ "on Tuesday the shady deals that you made earlier become known to the broad public,” and “You should intensify the guard on your apartment; representatives of criminal structures are not dozing.” 

Fortunetellers and Mystics

Russia has a long history with mystics and fortunetellers. Brezhnev consulted a Bulgarian clairvoyant. Yeltsin hired a special consultant to protect him from “external pyschophysical influence.” See Rasputin Under History.

By one estimate there are over 100,000 fee-charging mystics in Russia and the services they offer is a multi-million -dollar business. They advertise on television and in newspapers. Many fortunetellers in Russian are Abkhazians from the Caucasus and Roma (Gypsies). Abkhazian women read coffee grounds; Roma often use cards. On Roma fortune teller told the Washington Post,“All sorts come here for advise—doctors, procurators, Mafia—it’s a good business.”

The chess player Garry Kasparov credited the Azerbaijani psychic Tofik Dadashev with helping him won his first world championship in 1985 against Anatoly Karpov, who employed a psychologist trained in hypnotism. Dadashev told the Los Angeles Times, “What I was doing there was not hypnosis in the scientific sense of the word.” He said he “created the positive energetic background which would make it easier for him and more difficult for opponent to play.”

The use of mystics and fortunetellers soared after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russian sociologists said that among the reasons for this were tough economic times and pent up interest in the supernatural after years of Soviet rule. “Many people now live on the verge of despair, given their economic situation, which humiliates and destroy their families,” one Russian sociologist told the Los Angeles Times. “They are attracted to psychics, to magicians to witches…out of fragility and desperation.”

Wise Women and Witches

Faith healing, paganism and witchcraft were not stamped by the Communists. Since the break up of the Soviet Union they have experienced a rebirth. One Belarusian anthropologist told Newsweek, “The Communists were strongly atheistic, but they could not destroy people’s belief in miracles.”

Almost every village has some kind of witch or warlock. Many people, when given the choice, say they would rather go to a faith healer than a doctor. Cures for cancer offered by witch doctors include drinking kerosene, spitting at the moon and peeing through a wedding ring into a saucepans.

Vedma ("wise women”)—usually matronly babushkas in their 60s—in small villages in Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine treat childhood diseases by writing magic words on water and attempt to cure cows by whispering secret spells in the wind. For payment they accept chicken, eggs and homemade vodka.

“Ivan Kupla” is a pagan festival tolerated by the Orthodox Church in which revelers celebrate the beginning of spring by bathing naked together in running water and jumping over greenwood fires with crowns of birch twigs. Some parish priests keep busy doing exorcisms on people reportedly victimized by witchcraft. These exorcisms often feature a lot of moaning, screaming and shuddering from crucifixes.

Urban Witches

The belief in witchcraft in Russia is said to be stronger in the cities than in rural areas because, one Orthodox priest told the New York Times, “in villages the old attitudes toward the church are still alive and the immunity against evil is better preserved.”

In the cities witches work as fortunetellers. Most of their business comes from women who have bad luck and want to have a curse removed and men who want to seduce women. One customer who sought a witch in Moscow told the Time of London her boyfriend had left her because a neighbor had sprinkled pine needles across the threshold of her family house when her mother was pregnant. “We told the witch about it and she lifted the curse,” the woman explained.

In the early 2000s, Larisa Teterina operated the upscale “External Help Center.” She typically treated six patients a day in an office filled with candles, crystals, and fertility symbols. She charges about $25 for an initial consultation and prices varied depending on the ritual, spell or curse that was sought. A charm that mended a broken marriage cost $300. A spell to make a man more sexy cost $150. Teterina told the Times of London: “Magic can’t be cheap because you’d argue with your spouse all the time and then go to witch to get it fixed.

Teterina said she learned her craft from her grandmother and has a 85 percent success rate. She attributed her high success rate as much to commons sense advice as magic. Still there are those who consider Teterina and others like her to be swindlers and charlatans. Witches have become so common that the Moscow city council proposed legislation to ban “occult services.”

The call toward her caught Zarya's attention. She approached the Junker Queen and handed the crate down to where it could be ripped into with the crowbar with fury. Her attention remained on the other woman before realizing what had been hidden deep in the cargo holds. It made sense as she glanced around to see people looking ragged and tired. Sickness, and illness which could spread like wildfire under the right conditions. It looked like it had taken root in Junker Town the more Zarya glanced.

The arm clap snapped her back into reality as she heard Odessa cackle and swear. "Part of it. There are more of these crates inside yet. Plenty to help your people." she uttered.

It was clear the people needed help and Zarya felt more secure in having joined the convoy to get it safely there without losing a bit of the precious cargo. It was needed to keep people alive and so Zarya moved a hand to clasp Odessa's shoulder. "Get started doing as you wish on getting it out. I'll get the other crates and we can get things rolling." In other words, she would help tp rip things open and to keep the vials secured. The medics who had been apart of the convoy began setting up tent clinics around.

The strong woman was left to watch for a few moments while being alongside Dez. The woman was somehow taller than Zarya but she was a bit amused by that fact. Not many could tower over her. "Better get yourself stabbed over there."

◈   @freedomsbounty said:   ❛ The temperature changes were still something the Siberian woman was getting accustomed to. From the severe cold and biting ice to the dusty and grating sands, it was a world different. Nonetheless, the strong woman pushed on through Junkertown. She was part of a convoy delivering some supplies and had agreed to give them protection through the storms and whatever else lurked through the route. Stepping off the machine, Zarya stretched out her shoulders and arms putting up a strikingly strong silhouette for a moment's time. Her joints cracked and her bright hair had been tied back once more. It was in need of a buzz once more but her traveling made that project difficult. Her trademark canon rested inside the convoy as it was not needed out and about among the Junkers. If someone wanted to make trouble, her strength could handle that by grabbing an arm and snapping it like a twig. Zarya was not above utilizing her best attributes in a brawl after all even if she had been trained in the art of war as a soldier back home. "Now, let's see about getting this cargo where it needs to be," she uttered with an accent being thick. Grabbing a giant crate, Zarya lugged it over a shoulder and stepped off to deliver it to its proper place. ❜

It was not often that the Junker Queen graced the loading bay.  Transactions with the outside world were infrequent, supplies arriving from beyond the Wasteland’s stricken borders rare – and if the convoy managed to survive the wilds, there were grunts to run inventory, to unpack, to disseminate.  The difference was that, this time, a highly anticipated coffer huddled somewhere amidst the delivery, its contents worth every tarnished coin that had been squeezed out of the dusty fist of the royal vault, like blood from a stone.  Crowbar in hand, Odessa pried open crate after crate, searching, the threat of a snarl lying thick on her tongue.  

Bright and biting, it was a shock of pink hair that she noticed first, a colour as vibrant and unapologetic as her own cobalt blue.  It burned in the periphery of her vision, standing out against the drab backdrop of rust-eaten metal.  Odessa looked first at the woman, then at the gargantuan crate she was carrying.  Hope rekindled.

“Oi,” Odessa called, seizing attention with a rude snap of her fingers, signalling to where the container could be placed.  At the first opportunity, she opened it, the lid levered until it popped off.  Inside the gaping, splinter-lined mouth of the box, floating among a sea of protective packaging, was a clutch of pharmaceutical vials.  Pristine, intact despite the danger of their journey.  A gift.  A godsend.

The sickness had come from outside, Odessa was told.  Eradicated elsewhere in the world, it spread through the unvaccinated and isolated population of Junkertown like wildfire, devouring the young, the old, the compromised.  Even the healthy and hale had been knocked flat, and the fortified principality was reduced to a skeleton crew.  In this box lay the promise of immunisation, of lives saved.

Odessa released a breath, a look of relief painting her features.  Laughter came in the form of a coarse magpie-cackle as she clapped the woman gratefully on the arm. Maybe now the pyres would have a chance to burn themselves out.

“Thank fuck for that.”

NSFW Overwatch Women Headcannons and Drabbles Part Two

Warnings/ Mentions: Bondage, Breeding Kink, Cum filled Strap on, Shower Sex, Cougars, a very uncomfortable stand off with Pharah, Wax/ Temperature play, Breath play, Hair Pulling, voyeurism, guided masturbation, experimentalism

Includes: Brigitte, Zarya, Mei, Ana, Sojourn, Sombra, Tracer and Symettra

Brigitte

Top, submissive. Does not like control.

Loves to be tied up and taken care of. Enjoys the size difference between the two of you. The fact that she literally bench presses your weight and more, but you bring her to her knees and make her beg to fuck you is such a big turn on for her

Breeding kink, she wants a big family. May not be able to give you one but she will sure fuck you like she can. She definitely has a cum strap that she begs to fuck you with.

You straddled her waist, book placed on her chest as her strap filled every inch of your pussy.

“If you keep moving it won’t get any better for you,” you glanced up at the larger woman, drinking in the pained look in her eyes as she struggled against her bindings.

“No more teasing, please! I was so good today,” her pleas made your chest feel warm. To hear her beg, just to please you, made any hardens you attempted to retain falter.

“Stop being cute, I’m trying to be mean,” you smirk down at her, closing the book and tossing it to the side. You undid the bonds around her wrists and immediately found yourself being flipped over, Brigitte’s form overshadowing your whole body.

“Don’t get too excited, I can put you right back where you were. Now, be a good girl and cum inside me.”

Zarya

Stone Top, like pharah, not all that into dynamics.

Into shower sex. Y’all are work out buddies, it’s definite to happen post work out as a “cool down”

Very into body worship. Your pleasure comes first and 100% focuses on that.

“Slow down, we just finished back and chest, no need to be so rough,” you smile as your back hit the tiled shower wall, your lips immediately being taken captive by the Russian in front of you.

“I know, but I just can’t help myself, you know what you do to me,” her hands went to your thighs, picking you up like you where made of air. You wrapped your legs around the larger woman, your arms making their way around her neck.

“Make it quick, we need to be at a meeting in 20.”

“I only need 10.”

Mei

Bottom, submissive. You would think she is the perfect sun but no, she is definitely a brat, and the sneaky kind too.

She definitely loves riling you up in public, knowing you can’t do anything till you get somewhere private.

As ironic as it is, she likes temperature play. Wax and Ice are common favorites of hers.

“How’s my favorite scientist?” You entered the EcoPoint lab with wide arms and a smile.

“She’s good but could be better,” you didn’t catch the mischief in her grin as she approached you, returning your gesture. Once in your embrace, she pulls you close by your neck, “i could be better with you inside me.”

Her blatant brazenness caught you off guard, it always did, “Mei!” You let go of her, smacking her shoulder lightly, “we are at work!”

Ana

Switch, Vers. She has been on this earth way to long to be picky, she enjoys connection within it more than anything but is down for anything.

I feel like she would have been wild in her younger years. Very dominant and would probably have left you speechless, but has grown a lot more mellow with her age. Now, will she pull some shit that would make your eyes widen every now and then? Yes, but that is just her in general.

She is a Cougar. 1000%. She would definitely say something like “your youth reminds me of my vitality” or something. Very sweet and caring.

You had just wrapped up a great session with Ana, going down stairs to grab her some water and a snack. You where clad in a robe and your undergarments, just trying to achieve the goal.

You could hear shuffling from the kitchen, prompting you to grab a gun from the hall closet as you moved forward. Rounding the corner you found a woman, probably no older than you making tea.

“Who the fuck are you?”

“Who the fuck are you?” You both drew your weapons and stood across from each other, “this is my apartment, how did you get in?”

“I was invited by my- no fucking way.”

“Oh shit… your Amari’s daughter? I- uh, you should go for like, 20 minutes.”

Sojourn

Top, Dominant. Her stamina is out of this fucking world.

Loves to pull hair, wraps it around her fist and pulls your head back.

Breath play. Lives for the way the color leaves your cheeks for a little bit.

You where face down, hips in the air as she drove her hips into yours.

“You are doing so well, let me hear you,” she ran her fingers through your hair, tugging your head up. The only noise to come from your mouth was a gritty moan, followed up with a shallow “yes.”

“That’s what I like to hear.”

Sombra

Switch-bottom leaning, vers. Likes to have fun when and where she can

Very much a voyeur. Facetimes you in the shower and is very blunt about her goals. Will text you if she hacks into your laptop, being a consensual perv.

Likes to take trips in public with remote vibrators, for the both of you. She makes a fucking game out of it.

From: Sombra

You know that outfit you picked out would look way better with the black turtle neck instead of the white.

You looked around the room and noticed your laptop camera blinking a light purple, signifying your girlfriend’s presence behind the screen. You gave a little wave to the camera and retrieved the aforementioned shirt.

“Better?” You picked up the rest of the outfit and held it against your form.

From: Sombra

Yes, now get to the show, I wanna see some ass.

Tracer

Switch-Top leaning, Vers-Dominant leaning.

Is extremely experimental. Loves to try new things.

Try’s to be mean and degrading but absolutely cannot.

“Love! Look what I brought home I thought we could try something new!” You watched from the couch as Lena pulled a variety of objects from the black bag she brought in.

“Lena, do you even know what those are for?”

“Nope, that’s the fun part isn’t it?” Her smile was so pure, but as she held up each item you couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yes, but if I’m the only one who knows what they do, I guess it will just be you in the swing, huh?”

“Wait this is a swing-“

Symettra

Stone Top, Dominant. I can see her bottoming, but I feel that she has a need for control that is unparalleled.

She has scienced hard light restraints to keep you from touching her. She will let you know when you can.

Like Sombra I feel like she is a voyeur, but like, not as down bad. Probably likes to watch you masturbate before she takes you, reminding you that not even you could make you feel as good as she does.

She sat on her knees at the end of your bed, soaking in the scene in front of her. Your legs where speed wide as you played with yourself, two fingers deep in your core as you attempted to make yourself cum.

“Please, baby, I need you. I can’t do it on my own,” a small grin grew on your dominant’s face as she made her way closer.

“Really? Because you where very emboldened to say otherwise earlier,” her hand cupped your cheek as she mocked your needy pleas.

“I lied! I need you so much, just please take care of me,” you would say anything to get her to cave, and she knew that, which is why she would take as much time as she wanted.

“I think you are doing just fine as of now, maybe in a couple more minutes.”

Talk Between Kitty and Kasey

Note: This was inspired by my last post about Em and Zarya talking.

It was late, and the Pink Skulls and Moon Elves were on their ship, resting before they continue their journey. Kasey was about to go to bed, but saw Kitty sitting on the ship's deck, looking thoughtful.

Kasey sat down beside her. "You're thinking about Zarya, aren't you?"

Kitty sighed. "Was leaving the best choice? I mean, Zarya just made me her admiral, and there's still Proxima and the Vexicons they're dealing with."

"It's hard for me to be away from Em for so long to," Kasey said. "But I think they're glad we went."

"What do you mean?" Kitty asked.

"They probably wanted to help the Moon Elves, but knew that they couldn't leave Gemina since the Vexicons and Proxima were there. Now, they know someone they trust is taking care of the Mauraders."

"Maybe," Kitty said. "I just wish we could call them to make sure they're OK. It was easier when he just travelled around Gemina, since we knew that if the Mysticons needed help, they'd be able to call us."

"We just have to trust that they're fine, just like they have to trust that we're OK.," Kasey said. "And as soon as we defeat the Mauaders, we'll see them again."

Road Trip Love Bites - Zarya x Reader (Female)

A/N - Hello everyone! This is a request from one of my followers! @zaidenchan

This post is on the shorter side, but I had a fun time writing this! Willing to add a second part. Hope you all enjoy!

-=+=-

Zarya’s eyes focus on the road as she grips the steering wheel tightly. She removes one hand to turn the radio on, setting it to a random station. “Excited?” She asks, followed by a small wink.

“Yeah!” You chime. But you blink, your eyes are struggling to stay open. You rub them.

“What’s wrong, baby?” Her expression changes quickly to one of slight concern. “You tired?”

“A little… We’ve been driving for like ten hours.” You let out a yawn.

She looks to the road again, scanning her surroundings. She shifts lanes and pulls to exit into a random strip mall. “I’ll get you some water.” She goes to unbuckle her seatbelt but you put your hand over hers.

“Noo,” You mumble. 

“I won’t be long, mýshka. It’s going to be a while before we get to the place.” Zarya chuckles. She leans down to give you a quick kiss on the lips. “Or do you want to come with me?”

“I just need a nap. Can we stay here?” You wrap your arms around her broad shoulders and pull her into you. Then, a mischievous grin forms on your lips. You lean up to plant a few kisses on her neck.

“Y/N…,” Zarya bites her lip. She looks at you and then out the car window.“I’ll be quick! We have to get back on the road if we want to make the tour in time.” 

“Mhm,” You nod sleepily. You kiss her again, and give her a gentle bite. She lets out a quiet moan. 

“Fuck…” She mumbles under her breath. Then she makes eye contact with you again. Her eyes were unwavering. One of her hands reach to your shoulder, then slowly down your lower back. 

Zarya’s lips meet yours a little more hastily this time. She uses your hand to tip your chin and bring it up closer to her. 

You use your teeth to tug at her lips teasingly. She groans. Her eyes glance at the car’s clock. “Babe… it’s…”.

“You’re a good driver… We have more than enough time…” You breath out, catching your breath. “Stay here. I wanna hold you.”

“Yeah, but I’m fucking hungry…” Zarya leans down, and her lips land on your neck. You feel a smirk play on her lips and she leans closer, sticks out her tongue. She licks your neck. You whimper. She nibbles at your gently, followed by a harder bite. She grazes her finger tips on the bite mark. “So either you’re gonna let me grab a bite to eat or I’m going to eat you instead.”

Zarya pulls away to get out of the car and walks around to open up the door for you. “Let’s grab the food, then we’ll find a nicer parking space and cozy up there.” 

“Fine.” You nod stubbornly. She reaches out a hand to help you out. You give it a small bite, before finally getting out of the car.

who wants akutagana overwatch headcanons other than me ? ? too bad you’re getting them anyways ! ! ( ft the fuckin’ wet cat we seem to be . . picking up . . )

i’m the reason akutagawa starts playing overwatch ( modern au ) ! i’m a flex support with 700+ hours on mercy and i’m always complaining to him about nobody protecting me and he heard the word ‘ protect ’ and ran with it . .

akutagawa mains ramattra , reaper or baptiste if he support duos with me - pretty rare unless he flex queues in quickplay !

like he’s really good at ramattra & reaper but he’s scarily good at people he doesn’t main ?

he has to hop on lucio or tracer or hanzo for whatever reason and he suddenly pops off ? like go off king ( he still sits there like “ i don’t like playing them ” )

when it comes to tanks , ram is like his go-to but he can also play sigma very well and depending on the map reinhardt too !

baptiste is the best support he can play but he doesn’t really like playing him that much ? he just lets me cover the supports

i could be debating kiriko and he’ll look at me like “ mercy . ” and i’m like okay ! mercy !

our gaming desks are next to each other ! i will join the team/group voice chat but akutagawa will not and because of the proximity of our desks , you’ll sometimes hear him bitching through my mic in the background if he’s loud enough HAHAHA

akutagawa hates hog players . he gets that from me ( and refuses to learn to play him )

will slowly turn and look at players interacting with me until i do the ‘ sometimes you scare me ’ voiceline and then he’ll go away ( irl he looks over at me and i’m trying not to giggle )

his battlenet would be diablo or hellhound and he has it all lowercase to match mine ( which is literally just ‘ anastasia ’ )

will match his skins sometimes to mine , if i put an owl team skin on he’ll put it on too or if i put a halloween skin on he’ll do it too hehe

also puts on voicelines that will flow with mine because he knows i rarely change my mercy lines

now . . this tiger . . he’s good at orisa , dva , zarya , cassidy , ashe and illari ! !

his battlenet is also lowercase to match akutagawa and i (‘: most likely just has it ‘ atsushi ’ so people always can tell we’re a duo - akutagawa is the odd sheep . .

always spamming voicelines with me and akutagawa hates us ! ! he joins voice chat and akutagawa yells at him through my mic

we have a discord server just for the three of us that ends up spicy when praise is involved . .

atsushi is more likely to play support with me than akutagawa is , he plays illari but he does dapple in ana , zenyatta , moira & juno — he’s having fun learning her and spamming ‘ what on mars are you doing ? ! ’ to akutagawa at any given moment

‘ good kitty ’ ‘ yes ’ ‘ good kitty ’ ‘ yes ’

very rarely plays tank because akutagawa queues it but if we go into practice vs ai ( where i live ) and we can play whatever role , sometimes akutagawa will play a dps and atsushi plays ramattra so he can pat me !

okay okay this is getting long and i’ve not done a linebreak > _ < anyways welcome to the introduction post of ‘ triple a ’ as i keep calling it to heia HAHAHAH

☀️ "The Sun is Home" - Chapter 3: Breakfast at Gibraltar ☀️

☀️ Fandom: Overwatch 2

🔴 Pairing: Illari x Juno/Solarmars

☀️ Characters in Chapter: Juno, Illari, Venture, and the various agents of Overwatch mentioned.

🔴 Word Count: 1808

☀️ Hiiii, guys! I have the next chapter for you all! Sorry for not posting this for a while, writer's block hit me hard. I do hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

🔴 Divider used made by me in Canva!

The next morning came with no issue, the sun rising over Watchpoint: Gibraltar and painting it in shades of blues and golds. A few birds filled the quiet with soft chirping, and the seas washed against the cliffs.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows of Juno’s room, warming her face as she curled up under her blanket. After a few moments, a small murmur escaped her lips and she stretched her legs out. Once her big red eyes opened, they fluttered for a few seconds, before closing as Juno sat up. Her purple sweatpants and pink long-sleeve kept her nice and warm last night, as she was still adjusting to cooler nights on this planet.

Juno’s legs hung off the side of the bed with her taking a few moments to adjust. Once she blinked a few times and stretched her arms, she slid her feet into her fluffy pink slippers and stood.

“Mornin’, Juno.”

A voice from the doorway made her open her eyes and look up, seeing Venture standing in the entrance. They wore a yellow tank top with a t-rex printed on it and a pair of brown shorts. 

Their chipped smile was a warm sight to see and Juno couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. “Good morning, Venture.”

Sloan placed a hand on their left hip. “How are you feeling, amigo?”

“Much better than I was when we last spoke,” came her answer. “I talked with Illari last night and she… she let me vent to her. I was just so overwhelmed last night, but talking with her… it grounded me a bit.”

“That’s good to hear, chica. I was worried about you both last night.” They beamed again and looked over their shoulder. “Illari’s already up, she gets up pretty early to train, so I talked to her a little too. She seems better this morning, not as tired as usual.”

Juno blinked in questioning. “Does she have a hard time sleeping?”

Venture nodded. “She’s got pretty bad insomnia. But she seemed more awake this morning when I saw her.” They stood straight from leaning on the doorway. “Tracer, Genji, and Mercy are making breakfast. Wanna join us?”

Juno nodded eagerly. “Of course! I would love to see what kind of food they make today. I love what they have made so far!”

Venture chuckled. “Sounds good. I’ll see you in the dining hall!”

*****

The sounds of dishes and metal gently clanking together filled Juno’s ears as she made her way down the steps into the dining hall of the Watchpoint. Pleasant smells of all kinds of spices gently drifted into her nose, and when she made her way to the last of the steps, she could see why.

Mercy was stirring a wooden spoon in a large pot as Tracer added in a few white onion pieces. Genji was beginning to plate some of the food on the counters and from the pots and pans on the stoves.

Juno’s reddish eyes moved to the tables where chatter came from. She could see Ana, Pharah, Baptiste, Lifeweaver, and Venture at a table together. Mei, Cassidy, Zarya, and D.Va sat at the next table. Then, there was Brigitte, Torbjorn, Reinhardt, Mei, Sojourn, and Winston. Lucio was moving back and forth as Genji plated some of the food and rushed it to the tables.

Juno could see everyone chattering and sharing their good mornings, and Tracer and Mercy seemed to be working well together. It was… a warm sight to behold, as it reminded her of the mornings shared with her family back on the colony.

Reinhardt’s blue and white mismatched eyes suddenly found the martian’s and he let out a mighty chuckle. “There you are, Juno! We were waiting for you! Come, join us!”

The space ranger beamed and made her way towards one of the smaller tables, taking a seat between Pharah and Ana. She looked up and around at the faces greeting her, and a few little waves came from her.

Ana’s one visible eye followed her hand, before her smile came through. “Well, you seem much more cheerful this morning, najm alrimayati.”

Juno looked at Ana and tilted her head. “I do not think I have heard that phrase. What does that mean?”

“Shooting star,” the sniper answered.

“Ohhh. What language is that?”

“Arabic, my dear. I’m from Egypt and that’s what I speak.” Ana held her teacup gently and smiled. “I know you’ve been trying to learn more of our languages, and I’m sure Fareeha and I could teach you some Arabic, if you’d like.”

Juno nodded eagerly. “That would be lovely!”

Pharah leaned back in her chair with a grin. “You seem to pick up new info pretty quick, kiddo,” she stated with confidence. “You’re definitely a fast learner.”

“I try to be,” the ranger responded. “There is so much to know about this world, much more than I ever would have thought. Even though my father brought so many stories of Earth with him… it truly could not have prepared me for how beautiful this planet really is.”

Baptiste’s eyes met Juno’s. “Hey, maybe Niran here can teach you even more about it,” he spoke as he gestured to his partner. “He’s a botanist and knows about… well, everything you can know about nature.”

Lifeweaver’s goofy laughter came forth, making Juno smile even wider. “Of course! If there’s anything you want to know, feel free to ask me.”

The sound of a door opening nearby had Juno and a few of the others turning their heads to see who had entered the dining hall. A woman with dark hair in thick braids, her golden eyes shining in the morning light. The light of the sun behind her framed her figure in a way that reminded Juno of a stained glass mural, and her eyes couldn’t leave her.

Tracer happened to look up and greeted the girl with, “Heya, Illari! How was your training?”

Illari took a few steps in, moving towards the tables as she spoke. “It was nothing I couldn’t handle. I think the training bots in the range were struggling to keep up with me.” A rare sound, a chuckle, came from Illari’s lips, and how that sound made Juno’s heart soar for a moment.

Mercy responded with, “Well, we made your favorite breakfast: Butifarra.” She gestured to Genji and he took a plate with a breakfast sandwich on it to hand to the Inti warrior.

Juno watched as Illari took her food and moved to the tables, sitting at an empty one next to the table where the space ranger sat. She seemed to be distancing herself from the others as she began to eat.

Lifeweaver noticed the martian’s red gaze on the warrior and he could see the gears turning in her head. He recognized that look, the same sorta look Baptiste had had when he became more than enamored with the botanist. Lifeweaver gently placed a hand near Juno, catching her attention. He nodded in Illari’s direction, and luckily his message seemed to come across.

Illari took another bite out of her breakfast sandwich, barely noticing when footsteps came towards her. The sound of another sitting on the seat next to hers had her finally lifting her head. 

Juno looked into the warrior’s golden eyes as she moved her head up to see the martian. Those eyes… something about them was so enchanting and… she didn’t want to stare and seem rude, so Juno turned her head away. “I apologize, Illari. I… I was waiting to see if you would return so I could… keep you company?”

The anxiety in the space ranger’s voice was evident to the Inti Warrior, and she could see Juno fiddling with her fingers. She couldn’t help but watch her, and she finally spoke to lift that nervousness from the other. “I… I don’t mind.”

“Juno,” came Lucio’s voice as he moved to the table with a plate. “We thought you might like to try something from your family’s culture, so Lena made you this!” He presented Juno with a baguette filled with meats and some other savory ingredients. “It’s called… Bánh mì, if I remember how Mei pronounced it? I might be sayin’ it wrong though, so don’t quote me on that.” He chuckled and set the plate in front of Juno.

The purple haired girl blinked in surprise a couple of times, examining the sandwich. “...It is… certainly filled with a lot. What is in it?”

“Vietnamese sausage, cilantro, carrots, cucumbers, and a fancy sounding radish.” He chuckled lightly. “Asian names aren’t my speciality, so there’s that.” He stepped back towards the stoves, leaving Juno to try her food.

It took a second, but she eventually picked up the submarine looking sandwich, took a… rather big bite, and chewed.

Illari couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh when Juno’s face lit up in realization. “How is it?”

“It’s… amazing!” She took another bite, before swallowing and looking at the warrior with bright eyes. “There are so many good flavors in it!”

“That’s good.” Illari suddenly took her napkin and gently whipped Juno’s face with it, and that was when the martian realized how… warm the other’s touch was. It was… really pleasant, and she was frozen for a moment.

The warrior suddenly realized the other girl’s face and pulled her hand back. “Sorry, you had some juice on your face.”

Juno shook her head and smiled. “I do not mind. Thank you.”

The two then ate their respective meals as they listened to the other Overwatch agents chatter and socialize, Reinhardt’s booming voice being the loudest of them all. He seemed to be telling another story, which Brigitte seemed to roll her eyes at despite her adoring smile.

The noise didn’t seem to bother Juno or Illari, and the two ate in a comfortable silence between each other. It seems that they truly didn’t need to speak to enjoy each other’s company, and this was something Lifeweaver and Baptiste, as well as Cassidy, noticed. The four men looked at each other, before nodding and seeming to have the same thought.

The dining hall was filled with laughter and the morning came and went, before everyone went their separate ways for the day.

Juno had made her way to her quarters after her meal and changed into her space suit, and as she activated her anti-gravity boots, a knock in her doorway had her looking up.

Illari stood there, dressed in her full combat armor, her solar rifle in her arms. “Hey,” she murmured.

Juno’s red eyes met her golden ones again. “...Greetings, Illari. What’s going on?”

“I wanted to ask you something.”

“...And that would be?”

Illari took a small breath in, before asking, “Would you like to come train with me?”

[venture4treasure]

written august 11

saw some stuff on juno and here are some of my initial thoughts (please mind that; i didn't get to play her during her playtest period, i don't really watch overwatch gameplay content, and i tend to hold a negative attitude towards new characters cause i don't want to learn counterplay/new metas);

and obviously all of this is subject to massive change in a couple days when new season drops and hopefully an animated short

lore and character

i will not be writing juno content -- i know spacerocks is everywhere and it's very cute, but she just has so little content right now? and i can't imagine much more lore coming out during her release. she's mei's graduate school friend's daughter. she likes spaghetti westerns.

she also comes across as very very innocent and it kind of makes me uncomfortable. like the naivety + her design give me not great feelings. maybe my feelings on the matter will change when i hear more voice lines at release. she has so little voice lines right now and they all feel the same. it's just her talking about the novelty of being on earth + comparing everything to space and that's it.

whereas you have voice lines like venture and reinhardt on eichenwald where venture talks softer and more seriously/compassionately that really make you like venture as a person. i don't know anything about juno even after listening to her voicelines, there's so little to learn either directly or indirectly in her lines.

i saw a twitter post some time ago about how mauga might be the last character we get with major lore relevance for a long time (baptise's backstory/ex-lover). venture shows up with a new faction. juno shows up with a new faction. (same with illari). not relevant to juno, just wanted to talk about it because i wish there was more characters being released relevant to overwatch or talon or null sector,

venture got lore on release! didn't they dig into anubis -- the thing null sector is looking for?? where is the juno lore, she got teased as a character around the same time as venture, i would expect more lore written around her.

though, her perspective on omincs/null sector could be cool. especially, if she ran into ramattra before overwatch. although, her positive opinion of mei makes me think she's going to be sided with overwatch.

mauga had an awesome animated short -- completely flipped my opinion on him. venture, less-so, but they had arguably more lore in their gameplay trailer than most characters. so juno might get an awesome animated short

gameplay (im just a yapper, and don't actually check numbers too carefully. everything is in perspective of a kiriko one trick, bear with me)

i really don't like that they teased juno as 'space ranger' and then didn't use space ranger as her code name? like, i will be comm-ing her as 'space ranger' for the foreseeable future. i thought juno was her real name and space ranger was her in-game name. like 'venture' and 'sloan'.

also PLEASE no space ranger meta (i don't think she'll be meta without adjustments to other characters; eg. tank nerfs/buffs). im going to be so sad if we got kiriko nerf into a space ranger meta. i know kiriko/suzu isn't healthy for the game, but as a kiriko main who has little stake in the competitive health of the game, i am allowed to be overjoyed at buffs and sad at nerfs haha

not being able to go down with glide boost might be a yikes. widow/hitscan are going to have such a fun time getting her because she is stuck in the air with no vertical adjustment.

pulsar torpedoes seem really good? (surely this ability just gets shortened to "missiles" for comms). that's so much healing 135x(every teammate in los) with no charge up; but there is travel time. it'd negate a lot of damage from zarya ult, sigma ult, orisa ult, etc. like suzu, but more healing and no immorality frames. and on the flipside, sigma ult + pulsar torpedoes just kills most characters max health without healing? then also consider that juno probably bursts the enemies with her primary fire too. still worse than suzu/lamp; ana nade negates it, but it'll be harder to bait out than suzu/nade.

75(missiles) + 50(grav initial burst damage) + 125(most characters have 250 health and sigma ult does 50% on impact) = 250(this will kill).

basically most of the tank ults that cluster/stun characters are going to have great synergy with missiles. like orisa ult can be released earlier with 75 chip on everyone.

she has so little survivability from dive imo. tracer tries to one-clip her and then what (sombra hacks/virus her and she's so dead uh oh)? most of the support roster has ways to get out or abilities that work on themselves to leverage the duel in their favour (suzu, immortality field, moira orb, lifeweaver dash, etc). juno does not have that, double jumping slightly higher in the air doesn't count -- i will be diving her.

gun feels like worse baptise without headshot ability, but she can heal fliers so that's a plus.

ult looks soo good. it's just a better mercy/lifeweaver/(maybe baptise) ult, no?

speed ring will be nice for rein, the healing output will also be nice because lucio doesn't really have that right now. i can see juno replacing lucio for the rein/lucio synergy -- except juno is way easier to kill than lucio.

i won't be playing the week of juno's release. i don't like people griefing in comp with a character they don't know how to play, i'll just wait until the meta has settled and read up about it before returning to the game.

okay maybe a little bit of dps. i really think widowmaker will have a field day with her. i mean??? no vertical adjustment in glide?? easy headshots probably.

end note; ok i was really scared of juno replacing kiriko, but she's okay. i think kiriko beats her at doing almost everything except easier damage from primary fire and pulsar torpedoes damage output to follow up on ults.

[wickedlittleoz]

If it's alright, I'd like to make a request for more shimadacest! How about a story that takes place post-Recall, with Hanzo joining Overwatch...and he surprises Genji with his old happi, which he kept for all these years! Genji, of course, insists on wearing it to the very next festival (near Gibraltar or in Japan or wherever) he can, dragging Hanzo along and finding opportunities to do romantic couple things that leave Hanzo increasingly flustered and (re)besotted until the evening culminates with them renewing their physical relationship. If you can, thanks very much! If it doesn't appeal or if you're too busy, though, no worries!! Thanks very much for gifting us with so much gourmet food for our Shimadacest souls!!

HELLOOOOOOOO

anon my beloved i am sososo sorry for how long this took me. real life got messy and this request was just so lovely that i wanted to give it my all, so it ended up taking forever

idk if this is what you had in mind, i feel like you wanted more candy apples and tunnels of love and shooting targets to win your lover cute teddy bears, but i thought it would be fun to add a lil touch of 'me' to 'them'

it was also my first time writing smut about present!genji so hopefully it's alright? anyway i do hope you enjoy it!!!

your requests are always more than welcomed, they're very cherished!!! ty for them ily <3

[snootlestheangel]

I've seen like maybe two posts about this so I've decided to do my own take on it

Who the COD guys and gals would main/play in Overwatch

Price: he plays a decent amount of tank. It makes him want to kill himself or one of the boys, so he hardly ever plays for very long. But when he does, he's honestly a decent tank. He plays mostly Sigma, Winston, and Zarya. He's a great team player, and uses his abilities to help his team. On the rare occasion he plays damage, he's playing Bastion and Soldier 76.

Ghost: Ghost is actually a support player. He's an Ana player, but will dabble in Illari, Bap, and Zenyatta. When he's playing Ana, he's hitting sleep darts that make people accuse him of cheating. He's hitting every nade, whether to save an ally or hit an enemy with the no heal, he's hitting everything. His nano boosts are always phenomenal, and he's got nice looking stats. He will sometimes chill and play a lot of Reaper just for the meme (they both have skull masks and the sergeants definitely started the comparison)

Gaz: Damage player usually. Plays a lot of Ashe, Hanzo, and Tracer, but mostly plays Genji. And he dominates on Genji. His blade combined with Ghost's nano almost always ends in a 3k minimum, but usually 4k. Also has what he considers an "embarrassing" number of hours on Mercy.

Soap: Junkrat connoisseur. He's hitting shots with his grenades that shock everyone. He's killing his counters almost every fight. He's in the enemy backline causing mayhem (as every Junk main should), he's bouncing his tires off walls and off of rooftops in insane ways. He's just an arsonistic menace to society and I love it. He'll also play a little bit of Mei and Torbjorn. Will only play Lucio on support and Reinhardt only on tank.

Laswell: Also plays support usually. Lots of Kiriko and Brig, but a bit of Lifeweaver as well. She's also a good D.VA player and can carry her own on Orisa. Plays a lot of Ramattra even though she's not very good: she just loves the "Suffer as I have" thing he's got going on.

Nik: The player the Overwatch community hates. His profile makes people want to throw up because all he plays are the broken heroes that piss people off. Knows damn well what he's doing and loves it. He has an ungodly amount of hours on Mauga, Roadhog, Doomfist, and Wrecking Ball (Ball has never been truly broken but everyone hates playing against and with a Ball player, and his hours on Doomfist are from the Strong-fist era where Doom was utterly broken and dominating lobbies.) He plays so much Sombra it's abhorrent. He's got golden nails on Moira.

And that's my take

If anyone wants more Snootles Overwatch content, I have some stuff on my side blog @snootlesow

[starrygalazy]

I keep seeing people doing this so this is my official ship list and some explanations. (Hell I may even take writing/drawing requests for the ones I like)

PSA: These are all my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I ask you respect mine, as I'll respect yours.

~'Love it' ships (aka I WANT THESE TO BE CANON or I LOVE THAT THESE ARE CANON)~

Genji x Mei (Aka my OTP): At first it was a joke ship bc I simp for Genji and kin Mei, but then it spiraled into thinking it'd be a really cute ship with a unique dynamic. Now they're my faves and I'll NEVER get tired of talking about them

Cassidy x Hanzo

Ramattra x Echo: Saw some cute fanart and it was OVER for me

Ana x Reinhardt

Bap x Mauga

Tracer x Emily

Soldier x Reaper

Gerard x Widowmaker: Their story makes me cry 😭 They both deserve sm better than what the world put them through

~'Like it' ships (aka "This is cute, but I like other ships more")~

Pharah x Mercy

Genji x Zen: This is only here bc Meiji takes top spot. When done right, this ship is so cute puppies and kittens are jealous. I also don't care too much about age difference here because, Zen's a robot.

D.Va x Brigitte

Mei x Zarya: Same situation as Genyatta

Lifeweaver x Bap

Cassidy x Bap: I definitely think Bap canonically has a crush on Cass (I won't break his heart, in at least a few realities they're together)

Mei x Lifeweaver: I've grown pretty fond of this ship and even wrote a fanfic (platonic) about them a while ago. They'd have such a unique dynamic either way, and I definitely am a fan

Lucio x Junkrat

Ashe x Widowmaker

Junkrat x Mei: The age difference has put me off for a while but I can't lie, it's kinda cute

Mei x Zenyatta

~'Meh/Nah' Ships (aka any I'm indifferent or negative abt)~

Genji x Mercy: For those who scream at any ship that's Genji x someone who's not Mercy or vice versa, I don't have a place for you here. To the nice Gency fans who're chill abt this, thank you. I just already have my favorite ship and some of you guys are way too toxic for me to really appreciate the ship. They're still besties in my mind tho, dw

Any type of *ncest: Please leave, thank you.

Any type of b**stiality: Same as *ncest. Leave the poor monkey and hamster (and all other animals) alone.

D.Va x anyone over 24: She's basically a child mentally, it's weird

Junkrat x Roadhog: I definitely think they're more like father/son, and I do NOT like that age difference.

Ramattra x Zen: It's just the fact they call each other 'brother' so often, so my mind is hard-wired to keep it that way

Soldier x Mercy

Sombra x Anyone: Sex-repulsed aro-ace Sombra supremacy 🙌🙌🙌 (queerplatonic is good tho), Bap's the only sorta-exception

And that's all for ships. I have a ton more but this is already a long post so I'm gonna end it here. Anything catch your eye? Pls let me know! Also here is the link to my ship chart which I'll update occasionally (so it's a bit less hectic):

https://www.tumblr.com/meibaestars/730349773528481792/i-got-bored-so-i-did-another-ship-chart-thing-with?source=share

(Btw I'll be editing this as I see fit and changing different ships most likely)

Due to the number of heroes in Overwatch, there will have to be an "early" round of four matches to allow this to progress as a normal competition. The "day .5" matches were chosen at random, as was every other initial match of the first day. The losers bracket rounds will take place on the same day as the regular bracket rounds to make sure this competition doesn't take too long. This will be my temporarily pinned post for the duration of the competition so check back to quickly see which heroes have progressed! Don't forget if you don't want to see spam from the poll, filter the tag "ow poll"
