im gonna go feral over ramattra. hes within arms reach now. how excited are u about him? not gameplay wise. lore wise. not only do we FINALLY get an omnic avidly against humanity, we also get more zenyatta development!!!!!!! like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DO U FEEL MEL!!!!!!!!! - 🐉
IM FEELING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! 😊
I’ll be honest his design has won me over the most, but I’m so excited to hear his and Zenyatta’s interactions so much!!! He reminds me v much of a Magneto type character, which I highly appreciate. While I get v much tired of ovw’s fantasy racism lol, at least we’re getting a character that def will be interesting and has been actually affected by the world. I’m also excited to see him and Akande working together and being big sexy baddies 😳😳😳

Not me desperately wanting to do a kinktober prompt but having way too many ideas to even think of a coherent one to request
Can i ask why youre unsure of Cassidy from OW though?
for me it's because of the name change
i by no means think the name change was a bad decision on the part of the dev team and i totally understand why they felt it was necessary! I just have about 4 or 5 years worth of fic under one name that I cannot feasibly go back and edit to reflect the change, and I dont want to set a precedent that i have the time or resources to do something like that. At this point its honestly just easier to not write for the character at all rather than try and navigate such a serious discussion. I think Overwatch in general is just kind of at a weird place right now, but there are some characters that feel much more comfortable to write for than others.
I hope this makes sense and i do want to make it clear that I stand in full support of the overwatch team's decision to change the name it just kind of presents a bunch of self-imposed hurdles for me as an author I dont have time for

Tumblr media
Carole and Goose had just finished supper and were in the process of cleaning up the kitchen when there was a knock at the door. Both of them looked at each other and Goose went to answer the door. What he wasn't expecting was the Mitchell-Kazansky daughter. "Blizz? What are doing here?" Goose asked the young girl and she just looked up at him and her lip started to wobble. She just crashed into him and full-out started to cry. Carole having heard the commotion had come to the front door.
"Y/N/N? What are you doing here? Does your fathers know you're here?" She asked and the little girl just shook her head.
"No, we fought. I snuck out. Please don't tell my daddies that I'm here." She said letting go of Goose and looking at Carole.
"Oh, Honey. What was the fight about?" She asked as they ushered both the little girl and her husband into the living room.
"I failed a math test. I tried to get help but everyone just brushed it off and said that it's easy." She said sniffling.
"Did you try to get them to help?" Goose asked and she nodded.
"But they were too busy to help. So, I backed off." She said and then Goose wrapped her in a hug and she returned it as he rubbed her back.
"Oh, Blizz. It's ok. Everyone has been stressed at work they didn't mean it." Goose said using her unofficial callsign that everyone had given her. She yawned and snuggled closer into him. Carole looked at Goose and they seemed to have a silent conversation they only looked away and down at the little girl, who had fallen asleep. They both smiled and then Carole got up when the phone rang and she answered it. It was Maverick.
"Carole, it's Mav. Y/N ran off and we can't find her anywhere." Maverick said frantically.
"Mav-" Carole tried to cut in but he wasn't having it.
"We fought but I didn't think it was a big one. In the middle of it, she took off toward her room upstairs." Maverick said to her not letting her get a word in.
"Maverick-" She began again but nothing.
"Oh God, what if something happened to her? What if she's hurt? Or what if she's been taken? I don't know what to do." Maverick said and Carole knew he was just worried but he wouldn't listen to her.
"Put Ice on the phone." She said and he seemed to listen to that. There was the sound of the phone handing off and talking between the couple.
"Hey Carole." Ice said
"Hey Ice. I couldn't get a word in with Maverick." She said and he chuckled.
"Yeah, he's being a little frantic." Ice said always the calm one but freaking out on the inside. "But Blizzard is missing." He said.
"Yes, I know. She's here with us." Carole said in a low voice trying not to disturb the little girl. Carole could hear Ice sigh in relief. She also heard Ice tell Maverick.
"Oh thank God. We'll be on our way soon." He said but before he could hang up Carole stopped him.
"She said not to let her daddies know she's here." She told Ice and he could've sworn that his heart shattered.
"Why would she say that? Did she say why?" He asked and Carole shook her head but knew he couldn't see it.
"No idea. She's asleep on Goose right now." She said and he sighed.
"We're on our way. Don't wake her up." He said
"Ok, we'll see you both soon. Bye." She said
"Thank you, Carole. We'll see you soon. Bye." Ice said and then hung up. She walked back into the living room to see that she had fully crawled into Goose's lap, she smiled. Goose had his eyes closed. She took a picture and sent the picture to both Maverick and Ice.
Maverick and Ice were relieved that she had run to them. She loved Bradley, Carole, and Goose. Honestly, the fight should've never happened. They were both stressed from the pressure of the new Top Gun class that when Y/N asked for help they blew up. The way her face fell so quickly and the way she stormed off. They hadn't even eaten supper.
---------------------------------------------------
It was a Thursday when Ice got a call as he was going over some paperwork it was from Y/N's math teacher.
"This is Admiral Thomas Kazansky, speaking." Ice said into the phone.
"Hi, Admiral. This is Mr. Blake, Y/N's math teacher." Mr. Blake said and Ice stopped what he was doing and focused on the phone call.
"What can I do for you?" Ice asked
"Well, I'm calling because Y/N seems to not be doing so well in class with the subject we're on. She's usually a good student and excels at everything but her answers have been wrong on her homework and she failed the last test we had. She actually failed another test as well." Mr. Blake said and Ice's blood was already boiling but this was icing on the cake. "I tried to reach Pete Mitchell but was unable to." Maverick had been up in the air at the time.
"Yes, he was up in the air at the time. Is there any way she can make up the tests?" Ice asked
"Yes, she will be able to make both of them up on Wednesday." He said and Ice nodded.
"Thank you for calling. We'll talk to her and get it settled." Ice said
"You're welcome. I'm sorry that we are speaking on a not-so-nice occasion. Have a good day, Admiral." He said
"You too." Ice said and then hung up.
When the day of teaching the newest cadets came to an end for them and they were switched over to the official Dagger Squadron is when Ice pulled his husband into his office.
"I just got a call from Blizzard's math teacher." Ice said and Maverick looked at him telling him to continue. "He said that she is doing poorly in class and that she had failed the most recent test." He said
"What? Blizz is excellent at math." Maverick said in shock.
"I know she is, but her teacher said that she has been doing poorly in this subject. He didn't tell me what it was though." Ice said and Maverick nodded his head.
"We'll talk to her about it when we get home. Carole is picking her up." Maverick said and Ice nodded. They were already stressed and then getting that news just soured their mood even more.
By the time it was time to go home their mood just soured even more. Traffic had been slowed to a stop and it was getting even later. It was already 5 PM by the time they got to The Bradshaw residence to pick her up.
They walked to the front door and knocked on the door. Carole answered it and let them come in, Goose wasn't home yet due to some paperwork that Bradley had asked him for help. Y/N was sitting there working on some homework and when she saw them, she didn't even smile or get up to greet them, which was unusual for her.
"Hey, you ready to go?" Maverick asked and she nodded her head and packed up her stuff. Carole walked over to her and helped her.
"Thank you." She said quietly and then hugged her.
"You're welcome, honey. Have a good night." She said and she nodded and walked out the door with her fathers.
The drive home was silent. She knew what had happened and was just waiting for it to be brought up. When they got home Ice killed the engine after parking in the garage and they headed inside. They dropped keys and she dropped her backpack off at the front door.
Y/N started her way upstairs but was stopped by Ice. "Hold on. We want to talk to you about something." He said and she slowly turned around and stood at the bottom of the stairs.
"Ice got a call from your math teacher." Maverick said and bowed her head.
"Oh?" She said quietly.
"He said that you weren't doing great on this subject of math. He also said you failed two math tests." Ice said "He's letting you retake the test on Wednesday." He said and she looked up at him.
"But you're grounded until you get that grade back up." Maverick said and she looked at him like he was crazy.
"What? That's not fair!" She yelled out.
"I think it's completely fair." Ice said
"I tried to ask for help! You both just brushed it off!" She yelled out.
"No, we didn't." Ice said and she looked at him like he was crazy.
"Yes, you did! You said that you were too busy right now to help me. I tried to go to Dad and he said the same thing. I tried my best. I did really but division is hard. I tried asking Mr. Blake but when he asked if anybody needed more explanation and nobody raised their hand so we moved on." She said with tears rolling down her face.
"You're still grounded." Maverick said and she turned around and marched upstairs.
"Get back down here! We're not done talking!" Ice yelled up at her but only got the slamming of the door as a response. He turned to look at Maverick but he was deep in thought.
"She did try to come to us and we did brush her off." Maverick said looking up the stairs.
"When was this?" Ice asked
"Last week. They had just started the division section of their math class. We were stressed that week because all of our cadets weren't focusing and not learning." Maverick said as he turned to Ice and watched his face fall.
"Did we really brush off our child when she needed help?" Ice asked and Maverick nodded.
"We really did. Should we go and apologize to her?" He asked his husband and he nodded.
"Yes. But let's wait a few and let her calm down." Ice said and Maverick nodded as they went to their office and did some work, they would worry about supper when everyone had calmed down.
It was an hour later when Maverick went up to her room and knocked on her door. "Blizz, it's supper time. We're sorry." He said but got no response so he knocked one more time. "Blizzard, please open up." He said and when he didn't get a response he twisted the handle and opened the door and the room was empty but her window was open. He checked everywhere before raising the alarm, the attached bathroom was the main other place but he knew that if she was in there she would've hollered back at him. When he couldn't find her, he ran downstairs and to Ice. "Blizzard is gone!" He yelled out frantically. Ice turned around and looked at him.
"What do you mean gone?" He asked
"She's not in her room or bathroom. The window is open." Maverick said in a rush. "I didn't think the fight was that bad." He said starting to spiral.
"Calm down." Ice said and Maverick looked at him bewildered.
"How are you not freaking out?" He asked his husband.
"Oh, I am trust me. But, someone needs to be the calm one and think with a straight head." Ice said to Maverick. "She couldn't have gone far. I'll send a group text to the Daggers and you call Carole." He said and as soon as the words left his mouth he regretted it.
Dagger Squad:
Ice: Blizzard has run away after a little argument. If she's at one of your houses please let us know. Please keep a look out for her.
Bradley: She's not here. I would've texted you or Mav. I'll keep a lookout for her. Call mom and dad.
Jake: Blizzard's missing? She's not here. I'll keep a lookout.
Bob: She's not here. I hope you find her.
Natasha: Poor girl she's not with me.
Mickey: I'm with Javy and we haven't seen her.
Slider: You mean to tell me that my favorite Mitchell-Kazansky is missing? She's not here. I'll keep an eye out for her though!
Ice: Thank you guys. We'll keep you updated. Also, Slider..... how dare you! But I get it.
Maverick was losing hope when he read through the texts but then when Carole answered the phone he started rambling.
"Carole, it's Mav. Y/N ran off and we can't find her anywhere." Maverick said frantically.
"Mav-" Carole tried to cut in but he wasn't having it.
"We fought but I didn't think it was a big one. In the middle of it, she took off toward her room upstairs." Maverick said to her not letting her get a word in.
"Maverick-" She began again but nothing.
"Oh God, what if something happened to her? What if she's hurt? Or what if she's been taken? I don't know what to do." Maverick said and Carole knew he was just worried but he wouldn't listen to her.
"Put Ice on the phone." She said and he seemed to listen to that. There was the sound of the phone handing off and talking between the couple.
"Hey Carole." Ice said
"Hey, Ice. I couldn't get a word in with Maverick." She said and he chuckled.
"Yeah, he's being a little frantic." Ice said always the calm one but freaking out on the inside. "But Blizzard is missing." He said.
"Yes, I know. She's here with us." Carole said in a low voice. Ice sigh in relief. He pulled the phone away and looked over to Maverick.
"She's with Carole and Goose." Ice said and Maverick sighed in relief.
"Oh thank God. We'll be on our way soon." He said but before he could hang up Carole stopped him.
"She said not to let her daddies know she's here." She told Ice and he could've sworn that his heart shattered.
"Why would she say that? Did she say why?" He asked
"No idea. She's asleep on Goose right now." She said and he sighed.
"We're on our way. Don't wake her up." He said
"Ok, we'll see you both soon. Bye." She said
"Thank you, Carole. We'll see you soon. Bye." Ice said and then hung up.
Dagger Squad:
Maverick: Blizzard has been found. She's with Carole and Goose.
Slider: Thank goodness.
Bradley: I knew that's who she would run to. I'm glad she's safe.
Bob: I was so worried. I'm glad she's safe.
Mickey: Javy and I are glad she's safe. Give her some love from us to her.
Natasha: Oh thank goodness!
Carole: Sent a photo
---------------------------------------------------
Maverick and Ice arrived at Carole and Goose's in no time. That's probably because Maverick was driving and he likes to drive how he flies. They parked in the driveway and got out and walked to the front door. They rang the doorbell knowing that Y/N could sleep through anything.
Carole walked to the door and opened it and motioned them inside. "Hey, guys come on in." She said.
"Hey, Carole. Thank you so much for taking care of her. I'm sorry if this caused an inconvenience." Ice said and Maverick nodded. She waved them off and they walked in then she led them to the living room where Goose, now awake, was holding her and he smiled at them.
"Nonsense. We love her." She said and Goose nodded.
"Hey guys." Goose said.
"Hey, Goose." Maverick and Ice said at the same time.
"I don't want to wake her." Ice said. "We'll just do a quick handoff." He said and walked over to Goose and they did a very fast but smooth handoff. She stirred a little bit but snuggled into Ice's neck and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Maverick and Ice thanked them profusely and a bunch of apologies. They headed out the door and to Maverick’s black Rav4 and Ice gently put her in her booster seat. She never woke up.
When they got home Maverick pulled into the garage and parked and killed the engine. Ice was already out and getting her out by the time Maverick was getting out of the car, truth be told he was just sitting there and reflecting on what happened. Maverick finally got out when he saw Ice walk by with their little girl.
Maverick followed Ice up to Y/N's room and watched him change her and then put her in her bed. "Goodnight, Blizzard. I'm happy you're home. I love you." Ice said and kissed her forehead. Maverick walked to her and kissed her on the forehead as well.
"Goodnight, Blizz. I love you." He said and they both walked out and turned off her light and cracked her door. They got ready for bed silently, none of them had supper but that was important. What was important was that Y/N was safe and sound at home.
---------------------------------------------------
The next morning Maverick and Ice got up and started their usual and then Maverick went and started getting Y/N up for the day and getting her to school. Maverick walked into her room and smiled and then walked over to her "Hey, Blizz. It's tike to get up." Maverick said.
"No." She said and turned over and Maverick had to hold back a laugh 'Just like Ice.' He thought to himself.
"Don't you want to eat breakfast with me and Papa?" He asked and she slowly blinked her eyes open and nodded.
"Yea." She said still riddled with sleep.
"Ok, then let's get ready for school and meet him down there." Maverick said and she did just that. 10 minutes later she was ready and headed downstairs. Ice turned when he heard patters of feet coming down ans he smiled. He already had some pancakes and bacon on the table and was finishing up the master bit when they came down.
"Good morning, Blizzard." He said and she smiled.
"Good morning, Papa." She said and sat at the table while Maverick fixed her plate. A few minutes later Ice was joining them.
Breakfast was eaten in silence but it was a comfortable silence. Ice knew that they had to talk about and he figured to go ahead and do so instead of putting it off. Apparently, Maverick had the same idea. "Blizzard-" they both began they looked at each other and Maverick nodded at Ice to continue.
"Blizzard, we're sorry for the way we blew up on you. We're also sorry for pushing you away. We were so stressed out and we should've left it at work and we didn't." Ice said and the Maverick started talking.
"If you ever need us, come to us no matter what. We'll drop everything for you. We should've dropped everything for you that day but we were not very smart. After school, we'll help you get ready for those tests. You can also come to any of The Daggers as well." He said and she nodded.
"I'm sorry." She said quietly.
"No, it's not your fault. It's our fault we should've helped you. Your also not grounded." Ice said and she nodded and then got up and hugged both of them and kissed their cheeks. They ate the rest of their breakfast and then they headed off to work and school after everything was cleared up.
They both went and dropped her off at school and she was back to her normal cheerful self. They smiled they were glad to see her back to her normal self.
---------------------------------------------------
True to their word they helped her after school and all weekend. When Wednesday rolled around and she took the tests she was ready for them. The next day when she got them back she was smiling when she saw that she had gotten an A on both of them. Mr. Blake praised her and high-fived her, he was happy she was back to excelling at math.
When she got home Thursday she showed them to Ice and Maverick and they smiled and praised her. They vowed again to help her and drop everything and she believed them. Everything for them was back to normal and they were a happy family again.

The Blacklist
Summary: The coldest commander in the GAR meets a different kind of match when he makes an unscheduled visit to Daria’s office.
Commander Neyo vs. ofc: Daria Trace, featuring @littlemissmanga ofc: Yen (hope I got her lines just right🥰)
Rating: T
Word count: 1080
“I think I’d live here, if I wouldn’t drink enough caf to power an ion cannon,” Daria mused, as the barista passed cups of iced caf to her and Yen. She thanked the young woman and dropped credits in the tip jar before the pair headed to their favorite bench to people watch.
“You already do that. Besides when are you ever home?” Yen asked with a raised brow.
Daria was saved from answering when her comm beeped.
“Trace,” she answered smoothly.
“Daria,” Blizzard said nervously once the matchmaker answered her comm.
“Hi, Blizzard…is everything alright?” Daria asked, looking up at Yen with a puzzled expression.
“No, not at all. Commander Neyo is here again.”
Daria released a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of her weary soul.
“Let me guess, the woman I set him up with doesn’t follow orders?” She asked, taking a sip of her drink.
Yen’s shoulders shook with silent laughter. Neyo was their most difficult client. He’d been on more dates than anyone, and despite Daria’s preternatural ability to put the right people together, she remained unsuccessful with the commander.
“He didn’t say. He barged in, and now he’s camping out in your office. Please come back. He’s so scary,” Blizzard whispered despite the fact that his desk was nowhere near Daria’s office where the commander waited for her.
“I’m on my way, love. If he gets fussy with you, just call Fox or Thorn,” she instructed.
“I’m going to call them now, so they’re in the area at least,” he replied.
“Ok, I’ll be there soon.”
As she ended the call, she looked up at Yen. The exhaustion and irritation evident in the set of her lips, and the quirk of her eyebrow.
“How many dates has it been?” Yen asked, eyes narrowed as she thought of how many times Neyo had been to the office to monopolize Daria’s time.
“To quote our darling, Blizz, ‘too kriffing many’,” Daria said, shaking her head.
“You’re going to have to swallow your pride on this one.”
“He’s going to ruin my track record.”
“That’s better than his unscheduled visits surely,” Yen offered, as the two of them took off for the office.
“I guess it is, I just,” Daria began before she remembered how much of a migraine Neyo had been.
She hadn’t even understood his presence in her office when he’d come in to build his profile. Unlike his brothers, Neyo seemed to just want a soldier that wasn’t related to him. Unfortunately, that meant his only viable matches were strong-willed people, that didn’t care about his rank or his authority. He’d barged into her office to complain about the ‘battalion of brats’ she’d set him up with, and demanded she find someone respectful.
Daria had leveled him with a look before wading back into the ever evaporating pool of matches.
“You know what? He has this coming. It’s not me, or our system. It’s him,” she said, taking an aggressive sip of her drink.
“There’s my girl,” Yen said with a grin.
As the pair of women arrived at the office they were pleased to see Fox waiting just outside.
“Blizzard called and said you may need assistance escorting someone off of the premises,” Fox said, folding his arms. “Who is it?”
“Commander Neyo,” Daria said, eyes locked onto Fox’s visor.
Fox sighed in irritation. “I should have known. Alright, I’ll be here when you need me.”
“Thank you, Fox,” Daria replied, as they entered the lobby.
“Oh, thank the Maker,” Blizzard hissed. “He’s been out here twice to ask where you are.”
“I’ll handle it from here,” Daria assured him, waltzing back to her office.
“Commander Neyo, you’re in my office during my lunch break again.” She took her seat behind the desk, resting her arms on the surface and clasping her hands together.
“Look, Ms. Trace, despite your reputation, you’ve been unsuccessful in finding what I’m looking for,” Neyo said, sitting back in his chair, and narrowing his eyes at Daria.
“You’ve rejected the last 5 matches for,” Daria paused as she brought up his file. “Ah, here we go. Insubordination, too affectionate, a clear disregard for authority, disrespect, and today’s lucky lady: frivolous hobbies?”
“Some foolishness with stuffed animals,” Neyo supplied. “I need someone obedient, self-sufficient, respectful, with the approved list of hobbies I sent to you yesterday.”
Daria looked at him, eyes reading his face like a book.
“No.”
“Excuse me.”
“Is this your first time hearing the word? I said no,” Daria repeated. “You don’t want a partner; you want a subordinate you can sleep with. That’s not why we’re here.”
“You had better watch your tone, Trace,” Neyo said, voice dropping to a low pitch, meant to intimidate.
“The only thing I’ll be watching is you leaving my office. I’m exercising clause 15c of our terms and conditions.” Daria pulled up the documents on her datapad, and passed it to the commander, clearing her throat before reciting the clause in question. “Owing to the fact that matchmaking is not an exact science, and therefore cannot be guaranteed, our matchmakers, that’s me, reserve the right to terminate the services of any client, that’s you, should it become clear our matchmakers are unable to assist the client in acquiring a successful match.”
Neyo stared at the datapad a moment, before looking up to meet Daria’s eyes. The glint in his brown eyes was downright dangerous, but Daria had gone toe to toe with politicians, the rich, and the entitled of every species. There was nothing but ice in her veins when a man challenged her.
“I’ve done all I can do for you, and I do not believe a continued professional relationship is in our best interest. Now would you like to show yourself out, or would you prefer an escort from Commander Fox?”
Once it became clear that Daria was not some shiny, who would roll over for him, Neyo decided to snatch up what was left of his dignity and vacate the premises. As the disgruntled commander’s steps faded down the corridor, Daria released a shaky breath, and relaxed into her office chair.
Blizzard’s head popped around the corner. “Absolute. Kriffing. Legend. I’m telling all the boys.”
Daria looked up at him with a grin, and took a sip of her watered down caf. “Ugh, non-profit or not, he owes me an iced caf.”
Blizzard’s laugh could be heard all the way back to his desk.

going through the wiki is painful:
Ultimately, Overwatch met its end through a combination of accusations that tainted the organization's reputation, and Reyes himself. Officially, Reyes and Morrison were killed in the blast that destroyed Overwatch's Swiss headquarters, an event the UN ruled as an accident. In reality, Overwatch had become split down the middle, with Reyes leading a rebellion against Morrison's leadership. As a battle was waged within the base, their fighting triggered an explosion that destroyed the facility
what kind of looney toons crap is this. what rebellion? was it like a Captain America Civil war type of fight? who was even on Reyes' side? fighting triggered an explosion-- HOW?
it's frustrating that this is such an important piece of lore that has yet to have a clear cut answer to. I'm convinced Blizz just completely forgot what they had in mind, swept it under a rug and hoped that everyone forgot about it.

Tell me about Jazz and Tau’s relationship?
How did they fall for each other?
I've been meaning to answer this the other day but got occupied with things. but rest assure I haven't forgotten! @magicallulu7 :> I am happy to receive asks about Jazz and Tau. (I think I'm the only one have this rarepair within this swtor community asdfghjkl)
As always, everything I talked about are heavy canon divergent and I don't really follow a lot of ingame canon version.
Ah yes, friends to lovers trope. I live for this.
Jazz and Tau met when they were teenagers at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant a few months before Sacking event took place. Jazz was a new arrival joining the Order under circumstances as the result of head trauma. The first few days she stayed at the Temple's medbay, she felt like a complete stranger due to her disability and being half sith pureblood as she was left out by fellow young students.
Ven Zallow and Master Oteg noticed this and decided to introduce Jazz to someone who can be able to communicate with her and understand her--which led to Tau and Jazz meeting for the first time. Jazz's mood lifted up the second Tau sign to her and spoke slowly for her. The only reason the Jedi Masters choose this was because Tau had experience with deafness and sign languages due to her father being deaf aswell.
They became best friends (alongside with Blizz, T7-01 and a couple of other Jedi).... and unaware the Force Bond was developing between the two. Sacking of Coruscant hasn't soured their friendship as the two helped each other and recover from the trauma of their own. Jazz felt bad about what happened to Tau when she defended her from the Sith while trying to escape, but Tau reassured her it wasn't her fault.
Several years later, their friendship grew stronger despite Tau completed her trials first and left to go into undercover mission while Jazz remained on Odessan to pursue her Trials, though there was feelings for the other started to linger but neither said anything because they believed one doesn't feel the same way.
But, they were both so wrong because the two of them reunited for Jedi Knight story arc (hello chosen ones), since that those same feelings resurfaced. Neither of them knew what to do. Tau cares deeply for Jazz and does everything for her, including fixing her hearing implants, whereas Jazz was mentally screaming about her this because she has a huuuuge lesbian crush on Tau since they started to hang out.
It's doable they began to fall in love for the other around the time when Tau had to rescue Jazz from Darth Angral at the end of chapter 1.

I'm gonna get a little salty real quick on here, but I kept thinking about this for the past few days and it's just driving me mad so.
I'm - and have been, really - annoyed with Tracer's treatment both from the fandom in general and Blizz, especially with the next gen of Overwatch. They cannot, and will not, commit to placing her somewhere and committing to it. And while yes, that's kinda her schtick in a way, a person sliding between times and not really fitting in with either, it's clear that they didn't plan that; they just forgot about her.
Lena was literally leading the Havana mission. She was being overseen by Sojourn, but she was the point woman on it. Her calls, her plans, took down Max. She's seen plenty of combat, more than half the roster if you go by the shorts alone, and yet, there is no talk of bringing her up into leadership during Recall. She was the first one to answer, but oh no, we can't have a Recall unless Cassidy comes in and saves the day - and this is not a hate on Cassidy at all, it's an important plotline for him to go from essentially forced servitude to running the show - but still, she's just considered the 'funky pilot'.
It's canon again and again that Jack had a vested interested in her. She was to Jack what Cass was to Gabe. And yet she is continously overlooked in lore and just in fan stuff. And I absolutely hate to play this card but it does make me wonder that, if she was male, would more people support it??? idk man I'm just super salty today.

I'm so sorry if you've talked about this part in Cage already (just lmk and I'll go find the post if there's one). But I think about Hanzo's intro in your fic almost daily. The cake. Cole's disbelief and confusion. The hostile banter between the two of them. Just how well you write characters and how easy it is to get invested in the stories you tell in general.
Uhhhh...oh, right. What inspired that whole scene? Was it something from the game itself? A reference? Just something awesome you imagined that would be sure to leave an impression?

CAGE ASK CAGE ASK!!!!
Tumblr media
i’m hype i never thought i would see this day 🥹 firstly, thank you for your super kind words it really means the world to me that you would even give cage a read without being as hyper invested in ovw as i am LOL. that being said i’ve come to realize that i reeeeally love writing thinly veiled hostility (thanks amon & hya) and how the SMALLEST shred of internal willpower is the only thing keeping people from lashing out. TENSION it’s so deliciously fun to write—
BUT to answer your question it’s actually a little bit of column a, a little bit of column b. so, many many moons ago, blizz released a christmas comic kind of showcasing what many of the og characters do during christmas and there is a panel with hanzo looking at a christmas cake in japan.
Tumblr media
christmas cake is a Thing in japan, it’s literally a special cake solely for christmas time and that (along with eating fried chicken from KFC, seriously people order christmas dinner months in advance from it) is kinda how the western idea of christmas got integrated into japanese society lol. now, it’s very possible that hanzo is only getting the cake because it’s christmas however, as a fan base people kind of ran with the idea that hanzo likes sweets. they could’ve just as easily had him going to get fried chicken which is Also apart of japanese christmas tradition, and up until that point lore for hanzo was So Goddamn Sparse that seeing him get cake was actually very… interesting, yknow? so, at least for me this tiny panel evolved into the idea that hanzo has a big sweet tooth because it says a lot about how he craves being cared for (sugar is sweet, so, he wants to be treated sweetly) and to be allowed to indulge (because as the eldest, growing up he was raised more strictly — which is canon fact he and genji have a lot of voice lines about it, and i imagine sneaking off to have sugar or sweet treats of some kind every once and awhile was the only real rebellion he was able to have) and i guess in some ways i want to illustrate a juxtaposition with his character Immediately to the audience.
like let’s say this was a novel on its own and you have no context to overwatch: you spend the first chapter with cole and genji yelling at each other about hanzo is or isn’t a monster, how he “killed” genji or injured him so badly that most of his entire body is made up of cybernetics and despite it all genji wants to forgive him. by showing hanzo upfront doing something absurd (sitting on a plane wing and eating CAKE of all things) it communicates to you that there is something… off about him, at least when it comes to cole’s knowledge and interpretation of him (since we’re in his pov).
it’s a nod to people who like overwatch and love hanzo liking sweets bc we are constantly starving for hanzo content so that sweets-loving fact is highly regarded.
but also, subconsciously i feel like it harks back to the idea of what truly “evil” person likes sweets? there’s an association with sweets of innocence, of yknow obviously sweetness, but i find that most people find sweets (subconsciously) to be disarming. what does it say when a dangerous killer like hanzo who you’re “supposed” to dislike, likes sweets? it throws you off and that’s one of the many things that throws cole off!
one of the things about the whole “oh the curtains are just blue” discourse is always the idea of what if they’re just blue and sure that could be true, but there’s usually a subconscious reasoning why writers describe things the way they do even if they don’t “mean” to impart that idea into something. very easily i could’ve had hanzo eating cake just as a nod to the comic panel but i like to think a lot of the times i’m quite Aware of why i’m describing things as they are: hanzo eating cake shows that he craves affection and understanding, but him sitting high off the ground and putting physical distance between himself and the rest of overwatch is literally showing how he puts a barrier between himself and what he craves. in a lot of the first chapters you’ll notice that i tend to put hanzo up high, and as the story progressing he starts staying closer and closer to the ground. YES this is a nod to his canon-in game-wall climb ability but it’s also a showcase of him literally closing the physical and mental distance between himself and the members of overwatch. allowing them closer and closer and trying to distance himself less.
sorry this is a whole rant and a half LMAO but i think very muchly about the mechanics of what i’m writing and why i’m showing certain things so thank you again for letting me impart some of my process on you lol :’)

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday! I've got a question, that may or may not be fun to answer/think about at all lol.
So somewhere in the Grimoire of the Shadowlands, I think I read that Revendreth is only one of many punishment realms for the sinful, and that those with slightly lighter burdens of sin go elsewhere. Have you ever thought about what sorts of places those are? Do your Venthyr ever think about the other realms? Do they also have sexy vampires? ...And am I the only one who takes one single line from a source and blows it out of proportion?
Sorry I couldn't think of any better questions for you lol 😅 all my question creating juice is used up apparently
Lol nope.
Never thought about it, not planning to think about it, not interested in bits of “canon” (in quotes because blizz writers don’t talk to each other so there’s always inconsistencies) that don’t interest me 😂 So I’ve no interest in thinking up additional shadowlands realms and, being honest, I don’t think of Venthyr as vampires at all anyway 😂 😂😂 one of my deepest, darkest secrets is that I’m not a vampire person. I did not gravitate to Renathal and the Venthyr because of vampire similarities, I love them in spite of that. Which is why I don’t lean in to that at all either
So, in conclusion, no. I, too, am experiencing a dearth of creativity so I’m not incorporating new bits into my head canons at this time. But thank you for the ask!

Thinking about how Blizz twit answered “why does khadgar wear a collar” with “it’s to protect his skin because of the rapid curse :P” knowing damn well it’s not true
