Hello I'm back, more Streamer AU brainplagues, but this time it's Legato is a mukbang streamer and he often invites friends and other streamers over for mukbang parties. One is those hot pepper challenges and his streaming partner is tapping out and dying on the floor but Legato is just turning redder and sweating, completely stonefaced in the grip of the Carolina Reaper chip. Perfection.

I haven't placed Legato in my Streamer AU yet, but this is a pretty good idea! I was bouncing around whether I'd have him as one of Nai's coworkers, or former classmates, or friends or something or the other. I haven't quite figured out where to place him yet.

But him having the most insane, stone-faced spice tolerance is very funny to me.

Top 9 People I Want To Get To Know Better

Hallo! I got tagged by @katie5000 for this meme.

Favorite color: Too many! But I do like colors that "match" with each other, like red and black, blue and silver, etc.

Currently reading: The Cleric Quintet by R.A. Salvatore. I loved it as a teen and am still enjoying it now--there's a lot of things, like crises of faith, that I understand more as an adult.

Last song: My World, Your World from Magic-kyun! Renaissance (I don't have an obsession /s), or Dies Irae. Not sure which came first ^^;

Last series: Kamigami no Asobi (because the same script writer for Magic-kyun and Dance with Devils worked on this one too and I love seeing the progression. Also it's just fun)

Sweet, savory, or spicy?: Savory, I think. Sweet or spicy can veer too far into the extreme if I'm not careful, but savory is the most consistent. (I do love sweets though!)

Currently working on: A crossword puzzle, if that counts? But if not, Ligature. :D

Tagging: @omgtabbytalks and whoever else in my orbit (is that the word?) wants to give this a shot!

I know your 31 days of spellcasters is for Sims but I'm a big huge fan of prompt lists as an illustrator. Are you OK with people taking inspo from your list for work that isn't Sims related?

That’s definitely OK! 💜

Just don't tag or name it anything Overwatch or Character Name related and you should be Gucci. There's LOTS of OVW merch there that's been up for aaaaages because they followed the above rule.

hmmm much 2 think about, ,,

Mets is A+! I'm just frustrated in general with the fandoms obsession to turn Mercy into a manupulative, abusive medical genius because they hate her core character concept of angel/doctor/lawful good and less so at you specifically

No worries!

I find the evil!Mercy theories interesting, but by canon I think she (and Symmetra) are the only ‘lawful good’ characters in the game (with most others being neutral good).

That being said, lawful good characters can be as morally complex as others -road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that. Not to mention the ‘to be lawful or to be good’ question that is likely to pop up with OW reforming, since Mercy seems to be on the side of the law (one of her lines being ‘Overwatch was disbanded for a reason’) but many of her old friends will be there, and Talon must be fought.

Ultimately, I think Angela Ziegler is a woman who always strives to do what is right, but who can make mistakes, especially when her drive and her impersonal viewpoint of her patients clouds her view.

Why the assumption that Mercy had an active role in what Reaper became? Her interaction line indicates she had no idea what he is. His line doesn't have a tone of accusation and is more of a sarcastic inquiry/rhetorical question; she had access to cutting edge medical military science, maybe she would have an answer.

I did say ‘depending of what exactly happened with Reaper’. I think it’s widely accepted fanon that she had something to do with his current state -but fanon isn’t necessarily canon. A lot of it is based on that line, which may just come down to people interpreting it differently.

I think it’s possible that she did, as she may well have been a first responder to the scene at the Swiss WP, and come across his body. If she did have anything to do with it, I highly doubt she would’ve had bad intentions.

I know everyone’s sick of Mercy meta by now, but to me, she’s someone who always has the best of intentions. She always does what she believes is right, but she’s not perfect, and she can make mistakes. @solrika put it better than me, but Mercy is a surgeon and a researcher -she never really has to deal with her patients on a personal level, and what she thinks is best from a medical standpoint might not be what’s best for them from a psychological standpoint. Accepting these mistakes is also probably hard for her, since she’s the best in her field, and likely ended up being a bit arrogant because of that. 

(and she is the best in her field -she’s a genius, no other way to put it)

But back to your original point -yeah, if it wasn’t an accusation it was most likely sarcastic. Even if Mercy could find an answer, I’m pretty sure Reaper would never ask for her help, and he certainly wouldn’t sit down in her medbay and let her run tests. It’s also possible that Talon/third party may have influenced Reaper post-explosion, and skewed his perception of certain events.

...Sorry for using your comment as a jumping off point for more meta.

Sorry to butt in here but just a little something that supports the idea that mercy played a part in what reaper became is genji. At the end of the "dragons" short he disappears in smoke, similar to reapers wraith form in a way. And since Angela did all alterations to save genji, she probably tried to recreate them for Reyes but he just ended up becoming edgelord. I think mercy tried to do good and I think she also blames herself and overwatch as she holds some resentment for the organisation.

Hm. Personally I thought that was more ‘ninja smoke screen trick’ as opposed to him actually becoming smoke/wraithing out like Reaper, but it’s possible. 

I agree that Mercy resents OW, though. I mean, she didn’t even want to join initially, and even though they helped with her research, though also used it as a weapon, which is something she was very against. I think she doesn’t like the idea of bringing it back not only because of the law, but because of her own personal feelings towards OW.
