What did/do you like about Pharah?
Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.
Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).
But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.
There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.
Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.
#i was a diehard pharmercy shipper back then btw#the inherent homoerotic experience of pharmercy gameplay.#the homoerotic experience of looking to the skies to fly to safety under the protection of your knight in shining armor#the homoerotic experience of feeling white hot murderous rage at an enemy trying to pick off your pocket mercy#i still kinda despise gency lmao. you cannot convince me mercy would be in love with genji. at all.#he'd make her feel so uncomfortable and guilty. in my head. the canon is obviously different#gency is sexless. absolutely zero bite or tension.#i could go on about mercy and how her character has so much missed potential#i'm no longer in my overwatch fandom phase but#i still think about that new flirty line they added in ow2 where mercy goes “ahh you're like my knight in shining armor!”#and pharah goes “that's what i'm goin for ;)” and i sigh dreamily#really happy that pharah outright says she's a lesbian too but it's hard to feel good about rep when you know blizzard uses it for pr#to be honest i'm willing to bet cash that blizzard's keeping pharmercy in their back pocket as ammo for the next controversy#last year we already saw logs about pharah fretting and taking care of mercy and the two talking about how good it is to see each other#tbh pharah has the same energy/demeanor as applejack. cheerful and competitive in a can of whoopass#but yeah overall pharah's a pretty shallow character. i have IDEAS on how i'd go about deepening her but. whatever#that's sorta what happens when you have to juggle a cast of 40 characters. a lot get left with the bare minimum#ok so i wrote this entire post up saying that pharah isn't in ow2's storymode when she is. she's in the story i just. forgot#because she doesn't do or contribute anything interesting#ok i'm stopping here. overwatch's story is such an interesting narrative mess i could go on for hours#i dunno how you come up with such incredible character designs and give them such an unincredible story#it's also so so so interesting seeing the conflicting takes on characters the writers have#mercy in gameplay and voicelines is peppy and cheerful and optimistic#but mercy in the storymode journal logs is tired. jaded. a total shut in who forgets to leave her room and social#and YES! THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!! THAT'S MERCY TO ME!!! THE DOCTOR WHO FORGETS TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF#ask me#anon

Here is a character I’m completely normal about. Yep. This is what a normal people does. 
More Sigma drawings! He’s fun to draw! I LOVE THAT OLD MAN! 
Thought I’d throw these up on here, hope you like and, once again, sorry for the quality I had to take this on my PHONE and rework things. Also excuse the slightly weird anatomy I didn’t use a reference because I drew this half asleep after work on a Friday night so... 🤷🏼‍♀️ enjoy the strange limbs. I’m trying to figure out if Sieb is as tonky as he looks or is that the armour... more research is needed...

Demon fabric
Minky is a demon fabric. It lures you in with promises greater than mortal joys (sooooo soft SO soft so soooft) and only later do the consequences of your unholy pact become clear.

✧・゚ ——— ❛ @dimensionalspades . ❪ actions speak louder ! ❫ cold, sender places their jacket over receiver's shoulders. (Sova dumping his cloak on her)
Tumblr media
✧・゚ ——— ❛ A NOISE OF SURPRISE ESCAPED HER THROAT , SOFTER AND HIGHER THAN ANY NORMAL SHE ' D MAKE . green eyes turn towards him , under furrowed brows , even as her hand moved to grasp the fabric now covering her . sabine hadn ' t thought her shivering was that apparent , more a stiffening of her shoulders to quell the deep tremor that wanted to shake her body . but , it made sense that it was a foolish errand to hide something like that from the man who made it his job to have keen eyesight . a wry smile lifted the corner of her lips , just before another shiver stole up on her . she pulled the cloak closer , relishing in his residual body heat clinging to the fabric .
Tumblr media
❝   won ' t you be cold ? i can make it back to base . my bodysuit insulates me well enough .   ❞ despite her words , the chemist was still reluctant to relinquish the cloak , at least for the moment . she ' d give it back soon , and then encourage him to hurry back to base . they ' d both need hot showers and food to chase off the chill , sabine could scarcely feel her ears anymore and knew they had to get warm soon .
puffing out a breath that fogged the air in front of her , she tightened her grip on the cloak , pulling it even closer for just a moment more . then , stepping close to alexander , in one fluid movement she had the cloak back over his shoulders , sealed against the chill once more . the wind cut through her own jumpsuit , and it took every ounce of her control to stifle the shiver that wanted to wrack her frame . ❝   come on , let ' s get moving . i fully plan to steal some of chamber ' s coffee to warm me up after being out in this brutal cold .   ❞

Laying in the snow staring up at the sky while more snow falls on top of me will fix me.

No Vanyar are not religious and they do not do worshipping stuff
It’s called “your friend helped you grow all these nice flowers so when you enjoy the harvest you save the best ones to make them flower crowns”
Or “your friend taught you how to sing their songs so when you are confident enough with your skill you made a song specifically for them or their favorite tree.”
Or “your friend showed you all the secrets of hunting and took you out for fun so when you get something delicious you invite them for meals.”
Or “they are not your friend, you don’t know them, and they are kinda scary. But they are very important to your friend, so you remember to have something nice for them every once in a while.”
And yeah, planting catnips at your door and leaving fresh grains at your window.
Say thanks to the fresh breeze, the stream near your farm, the rain nourishing your land, the fire cracking in your stove, the silent soft snow
If you like something the world offers, tell the world how wonderful that is and you are very grateful for their hard work
Sometimes there is someone there in the wind or water or fire or snow. They will hear your praise, and they will be happy.
Everything you enjoy happens because of someone else’s labor and it’s just rude to take things for granted
