Switching teams - My Moira Mirrorwatch concept

[marvelatthismess]

taylor swift’s work wouldn’t be nearly as insufferable if she wasn’t constantly trying to present herself as some sort of tortured underdog. like, okay, she has endured hardships, and a lot of people, especially white men, are shitty towards her for purely misogynistic reasons. that sucks, i agree. but she’s never been an underdog before. she was born to well-off parents who did everything they could to start her music career when she was barely even a teenager, an opportunity that lots of people would kill for. now she’s extremely famous and wealthy, and everything she releases is destined to sell millions of copies and receive glowing reviews in nearly every publication. she is not an underdog, and i have trouble believing she’s particularly “tortured.” she’s not even an alcoholic, despite claiming to be one on the opening track of her new album! people like to defend her lyrics by saying she’s just playing a character, which i don’t believe for a second, but even if she was, i don’t think i want to listen to someone like swift play the character of a tortured underdog, not when there’s so many musicians out there who are actually tortured underdogs. it comes across as hollow. “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me,” sung by one of the wealthiest, most famous, most critically acclaimed musicians in the world, who was born to loving parents who personally helped her start her career, who once said she’d never been to therapy because she “just feels very sane.” if you’re going to play a character, maybe pick one who we’re not supposed to pity.

Mirrorverse Moira

idk i just think we were SO robbed of a mirror au moira like the potential.....

thoughts under cut

- obvs she already has a lab coat scientist skin so i didnt just want to do a Slightly Different Version of that...

- most of her colour accents normally are purple so naturally she had to have yellow

- wanted her outfit to look combat-ish so i took inspiration from mercys archive skin for the Vibe

- speaking of mercy... vague angel themeing! very slight tho, just wing shapes on the coat and tried to angle the beret to make it look a bit like a halo (plus the eye shaped buttons on the sleeve)

- no fucked up arm for moira in this au so she gets some funky sleeves as compensation

- i think her personality would be exactly the same she just works for overwatch and doesnt unethically experiment on herself (or anyone)

- coat was gonna be white but it didnt work w the colour scheme so i made it grey instead which i think looks better w the yellow.

- monocle thing is like her one from the scientist skin but Round instead

- her hairs a bit different but its mostly inspired by her blackwatch skin? sort of?

So I really appreciate the difference in how Ash is animated in Apex as compared to Titanfall 2. In Titanfall she's, ya know, robotic in her movements, every move is purposeful, janky, her arms jut out when motioning, there's a dropship cutscene where she meditates and watching her stand up is akin to watching a transformer change shape. Ash by this point is just Ash, a ruthless, cold machine mind.

Compare that to Apex where her now awakened human consciousness that has been dormant and fighting to escape is vying for control over their body, and mainly losing. Still we see a lot more humanity in her movements. While she is still very disciplined and calculating in her movements she's more fluid. She wipes blood on Mirage's cheek in her trailer, she interacts with some level of empathy to her newfound mouse (plague be upon ye), and she has a...noticeable hip sway.

Its a good visual means of portraying the inner dichotomy within her, Ash and Ashleigh, robot and human, strong as steel and weak as flesh.

Compare that to Apex

There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own. 

Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
