#tysm for talking to me about genji hrmndjdshsshs

Also, same anon as before. That Billie Eilish song for the Barbie movie, What Was I Made For?, makes me think of Genji. I think a lot about how much existential dread he probably got from 'being a weapon'.

Oh man when I heard that song I also had The Genji Feels. It's going on the Genzo playlist for writing this fic I'm writing.

I'm diving a /lot/ into Genji's feelings in this fic of being a weapon, being used, having his identity stripped, rebuilt (mostly without his input) and finding what it means fo be Genji again outside of the blade and chrome.

But it's canon divergent so it's a bit of a different angle and I'm so so so excited to write it and share with yous 😭💚

I mean. I think so much about Genji getting his consciousness back and nothing, nothing feels in the right place. He scratches his arm and there's no skin. Bites down, synthetic lip. Wakes up, and he's torn his sheets from his legs. Brushes his hair, he hits metal. Rubs his eyes, the rib of scars.

And when he looks in the mirror for the first time. Man.
