OK AU IDEA!

Very rushed I'm just writing this down because I came up with this 30 minutes ago and I have not thought it out very well and I'm too lazy to really double check my writing so probably a lot of grammatical errors in spelling errors or something I don't know lol

We know from one voice line from retribution between Genji and Reyes that talon tried to partner with the shimada clan but sojiro declined as they're view didnt aline.

Well what if he had agreed?

So Genji and Hanzo were raised in talon made to be not only shimada assassins but talon operative assassins so they were somehow even more brutal and inhumane than the shimada clan already was.

How Genji would end up joining OverWatch would be during an OverWatch mission to break into a talon base something goes wrong and one of them (Cass or Angela probably) can't make it back to the dropship or they're trapped or something, and genji knowing if talon finds out what he did they would kill him decides against his better judgment and decides to help the OverWatch agent he has no idea who they are.

And once he gets the agent back to the dropship Reagan's turns to him and offers him a place in OverWatch because he knows fine well talon/the shimada are going to have him killed for betraying them, and genji agrees. And eventually when they get back to base and after Reyes has finished convincing Morrison, once they start filling out his medical paperwork and a whole bunch of other stuff Reyes finds out that Genji is a cyborg.

And instead of becoming a cyborg once he was in OverWatch because his brother tried to kill him like normal, since he and Hanzo were raised in an even more violent and bloodthirsty environment they would often be made by each other and whoever lost would be punished either through extensive additional training, have something taken away that's the basic necessity, and eventually after those punishments weren't working and Genji was still losing to Hanzo, they started to replace parts. (Think like nebula and gamora from guardians of the galaxy) and since doomfist's family owns a cybernetics company it isn't too much of a stretch that they would have someone who could replace parts.

And the reason they were so easy with allowing an ex-talon operative to join OverWatch was because Baptiste had already joined at this point, and was the medic of black watch (moira is already gone at this point, they realized she didn't exactly have normal limits a lot faster). So they offered Genji a role in black watch alongside Cassidy, Baptiste, and sombra (because I want her to be here too). Since Genji already was wearing a mask when they met him, they didn't take it as very much of a surprise when he requested that his new black watch attire be armor and the helmet and you couldn't see his face or even eyes, they willingly obliged especially considering they allowed Cassidy to dress like a cowboy they couldn't exactly say no to the cyborg ninja to allow him to dress like a cyborg ninja, so his armor was made and it looks like his current armor but black watch color palette and instead of his normal hoodie and joggers he has black watch attire and looks more like he's on a black ops strike team. This black watch strike team would train alongside the OverWatch strike team and everyone even a lot of the black watch members at first the longest time thought Genji was an omnic because he never took off his armor in front of people except for Cassidy because they were roommates and Genji didn't sleep in the armor. The other black watch members found out a lot faster than the OverWatch team obviously from being around each other more but none of them ever talked about the fact Genji was actually a human so everyone still just assumed outside of black watch he was an omnic.

Also Genji's cybernetics look more along the lines of sojourns, where you can tell their cybernetics but they look more human than pure robotic. Also since he never went through a Playboy phase he starts off as more cold, aggressive, and quiet. But eventually when he starts warming up to everyone and learns that you can actually be a nice person and not constantly have to worry about someone trying to murder you or having to murder someone else he eventually shows off his more warm bubbly caring side to his personality.

Hanzo in this AU is still a part of talon but he is very internally conflicted because she does care about his brother in a weird way because even though he knows he calls them a lot of pain he still does care about him, and the fact he knows he calls him a lot of pain and creates a lot of inner turmoil in him that he is trying to push down but it's getting near a breaking point. And he is slowly becoming more and more uncertain of Talon's actions, with the final breaking point being when he almost kills his own brother during another OverWatch mission a couple years later and the shock of both realizing that his brother is alive, is on the other side, and that he almost killed him freaks him out to the point that he ends up running away from talon on his own. Not to join OverWatch at least not immediately he goes about by himself for a while trying to figure out reality and get a grip on what things are actually like because he is no idea because both of them had been brainwashed so much to the point they had no concept of what the real world is like.

Also probably kiriko would be a part of talon too as one of the assassins, and is probably the last of the three to leave because she has her mother still tying her there, and the anger of her believing that Genji and Hanzo just abandoned her when that is not what they were doing what was an accidental side product of what they were actually trying to do.

That's all I've got so far , again I did only come up with this like 30 minutes ago lol. feel free to add your own input!

#overwatch #overwatch 2 #genji #genji shimada #hanzo #hanzo shimada #OverWatch au #shimada bros #shimada/talon au #there is so many redemption arcs in this and only Genji's go semi smoothly for the trio #I also really like the idea of black watch being comprised of ex-criminals #like Reyes saw the good in them and gave them a second chance rather than shipping them straight to jail like Morrison was wanting to do #also the only reason black watch exist is because Morrison respects Reyes and Morrison does not like any of the black watch members #he may respect Reyes but he does not respect all of the “criminals” that Reyes decided to “stupidly” put his trust in #especially after Moira #they still haven't really gotten over what moira did yet

As someone who grew up on telenovelas, I can think of sooo many more stressful scenarios 😂 but I’m here for the ride and your positivity is so refreshing! You made many great points about Carlos that now have me curious to how this will all play out

Thank you! My positivity is fully couched in the fact that I still hate it. I’m calling this storyline Deux Ex Iris. It’s very clear to me that this is Tim Minear’s personal headcanon that got cut from season one in the writers room and he wants it so he stuck it in now. It’s bad writing for personal reasons. And anyone who hates it enough to leave fandom, that’s fully within their rights. Everyone gets to feel about this one how they feel. It’s stupid.

But, my positivity comes from my fandom history!

I grew up on soap operas and General Hospital was my first entry into fandom. The choices that were made for characters as the show runners and head writers changed and the way they’d “go back and film things” and be like “surprise, this was happening all along” or “look, secret murdere” there are worse things. And

My second real fandom was HP and in the period of time between Book 4-Book 7. What this lead to was elaborate headcanons and theories of the next book from the fandom based on scant character development that were often torpedoed when a new book came out (and we had years to craft them too). It taught me that no matter what headcanon you as a fan have, no matter how much evidence you have in the text to prove your point, it’s bunk because you’re not the one writing canon. Also, the creators aren’t thinking about the characters the way you’re thinking about the

My third fandom was Marvel Comics by way of X-Men Evolution. And many have gotten pissed at me for saying it, but super hero comic books are just soap operas with powers. Again, as the writing team changes, the characters change. As personal ideas of the creators trump actual page canon, things are shoehorned in. Is it occasionally ridiculously stupid? Uh, yeah. Go check out comic tumblrs and the rants go on for days.

So, what this left me with is Carlos as a character has been fairly well developed for a procedural with eleven principal cast members. That doesn’t mean he’s been particularly well developed (or that any of them have). In fact, the fact that Carlos needs better character development is pretty well known fandom wide. Most of our understanding of Carlos is based on conjecture and fan theory.

We know he’s prone to keeping secrets and being evasive about things that bother him. We know he’s often not willing to talk about shit until he’s cornered. That’s not out of character.

We as a collective have discussed how painful and awful his coming out was that it lead him to hide for years. Marrying his best friend for his father’s approval? I could see it. We’ve talked extensively about his need for his parents approval and not to let them down.

There are parts of this that would be better if it had been seeded at ANY part in the story.

And I also hated the idea of half the stuff last season and it was executed really well. So…🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m willing to wait it out.

Jasper is shaking his shoulder, repeating his name. “Hey, Bellamy, back to earth, c’mon.”

Jasper’s eyes take up too much of his face, Murphy used to say that all the time. It was a joke, but it’s true now, they’re huge. “Dude, seriously, you’re breathing too hard, you’re gonna pass out. Look at me.”

All Bellamy can see are the moons in Jasper’s face, can’t make anything else work, even though he’s sure that once Jasper had more of a face. A smile. Jasper had a smile, once, big as the Cheshire Cat, Bellamy always liked that about him, his smile–

ok but see, the ”kissing early on but denying feelings f o r e v e r” is SO msr its predictable so…. I have to prompt you to try writing something with that but for JonMon (bonus points for a Scully cameo simply for the sake of her being like ’help is this Really what we looked like Back In The Day bc wow this is cringe’)

HWHDBDSJWN ok but I've seen at LEAST 25 MSR fics with this exact premise I'm cackling, it really is so intensely THEM innit? (there's at least three opportunities just in the Pilot smh). soz for not including the Scully cameo... however I will offer you the mental image of one of them accidentally mentioning something about this and her being like. oh my gosh. you're joking. you cannot be real.

also @taleasoldastime-andspace u might like this 👀

~~~~~

Her flight leaves in three hours; she has just enough time to stop by the office, say her goodbyes, and get to the airport in time to check her suitcase. She is intensely aware of the familiar clack of her heels on the floor, a specific sound she's hearing for the last time. After so long working here, it feels strange to leave. It feels a little bit wrong.

John has his back to her, sitting at his desk, when she walks in. Monica steps lightly, trying to sneak up, but he barely jumps when she taps him on the shoulder.

"Hey," he greets. "You heading out?" He says it like she's not leaving for good, like she's just stepping out for the evening. Monica smiles, a little bittersweet.

"Yeah, my plane leaves at nine. All my stuff is already down south, ready to move in." She shrugs. "I know we already went over all this, but I have a little time before I have to head to the airport and I wanted to say goodbye."

John stands up, the slow, natural smile she's gotten to know so well spreading over his face. She's going to miss his smile; it comes much more easily than it did a couple years ago, and she's glad of that. "You be safe, alright?" He says, and Monica laughs.

"Alright," she agrees, then tips her head. "I'm going to miss you, John, you know that?"

He looks down, then meets her eyes again. "Yeah," he says quietly. "I'll miss you, too."

There's a single moment where Monica feels as if she can't breathe. Six years they've known each other, five since the divorce, and two since she admitted to herself that she might love him. She hadn't meant to, at first; she only ever wanted to be his friend in a time when he needed someone to be there, no strings attached. At some point, though, something changed. She's far too aware, of herself and others, to think it's nothing. She knows what he means to her.

The clock on the wall is ticking, counting down minutes, seconds they have left. She's leaving to start over, to be nearer to family, but leaving is hard. Lingering is hard. Moments, the present, is easy, but it's the hesitation that can be the breaking point. Monica glances down at her watch, tries to act like she's not practically vibrating with affection — but then, she's never been very good at acting, or at lying. Especially to John.

"You alright?" He asks, with a tiny touch against the outside of her wrist.

Monica laughs. "I should probably go soon," she says, which doesn't answer his question but is still completely true. She steps forward and hugs him, relaxes into his hands coming to rest on her back. Hugs, she's found, are a good way to hide your face if you don't want someone to see what's written on it.

"Good luck." John offers another smile, lopsided and a bit wry.

Hesitation is too easy to get lost in. Monica doesn't; instead she's lost in sudden impulse, almost like a cliche — her 'Lita would be appalled at a grandchild falling for a blue-eyed white American. There's no strings attached, just this once. She loves John. She's leaving. She kisses him.

It's brief, barely more than a brush of lips, and Monica quickly steps back away. She only meets John's gaze for a split second after she kisses him — possibly the most impulsive thing she's ever done, which is quite honestly saying a lot — but when she does, it feels like they're both stunned. She can feel his eyes on her when she turns to leave.

"Stay in touch, okay?" He calls haltingly after her, and Monica stops, still feeling a little breathless.

She wasn't going to look back. She thinks if she does, it might be too hard to leave; to not want to do something impulsive again. But now, she does. She looks over her shoulder and smiles, still a little caught up in the sensation of kissing him. "I will."

So this version of the imperium doesn’t have the absolutely horrifying strangle hold on the populace that’s enforced with rabid priests, indoctrination, and a secret police force that pops up when worlds get a bit tooo lenient?

after writing a paper for like 3 hours this has activated my infodumping brain. Hope putting this in its own post is ok! This is one part answer and three parts needless extrapolation LOL

I would say the Empire does, in the sense that it has the /appearance/ of conformity as a result of draconic enforcement, and doesn’t, in the sense that even under the cruelest, most restrictive regimes there are still countercultures and people who are aware that something is Wrong, even if they can't articulate what, but are just trying to get by and not get got by the inquisition.

of course I'm most interested in these edge cases of resistance and survival, and people who are in the process of becoming these edge cases, so the sampling group is already skewed in that direction. But on the whole I think the Archive and inquisition have only driven opposition underground. Just because these people have to organize in clandestine ways doesn't mean they aren't out there-- though to the bystander and to the Archive, it sure feels like they have an iron grip on things.

Ultimately these are still humans enforcing these systems on other humans, and humans is messy. one of the things I really enjoy exploring is how the same characters can harbor a little bit of that spark, while also stomping it out in others-- this is a system where we often hurt each other to bargain for our own safety, security, power, etc. (albeit one in which the old adages like "There Is No Ethical Consumption Under Late Capitalism" and "You Are Not Immune To Propaganda" are taken to their hyperbolic extreme, so it's more morbidly funny and cathartic instead of despairingly painful for me.)

like, Markus does this by keeping his real intentions guarded close to his heart, being 100x more clever, pitiless, and monstrous than his enemies, and clawing his way to power through any means necessary so that he can do the One Good Thing he wants to do. I imagine that the people who knew him before his ascent reminisce about how he used to be "one of them," and the betrayal of him selling his soul and throwing away his responsibility to them in exchange for power really fucking stings.

But when he is at the top, he can leverage his charisma and inordinate power to create nigh-blasphemous (read: marginally progressive) changes that nobody really has the power to challenge him on. (and also collect all all the gay people in the Archive under one administrative roof, i guess, yeah.) Arguably this catches up with him before he can do the One Good Thing he wants to do, and the One Good Thing was impossible from the beginning anyway, but for a minute there he sure is doing. Something.

The Doc does this by resigning herself to the role of pitiless doctor she was casted as. In action, she's doing everything the Archive asks of her, but she owes them no love or loyalty and jumps on any opportunity to go her own way and further her own (admittedly buckwild) interests when it's safe to do so. Even when she's being subversive, she has the appearance of reveling in doublespeak and doubledealing, and you can't be sure if she actually means it or not. But this is to reinforce an image of being emotionally untouchable, manipulative, and two-faced, which protects her and those around her from having any emotional ties used against them. Ultimately, she's the only one with the power to do things like make certain """mistakes"""" during MarkOS' creation, and look the other way when Reyes later takes a magnet to his brain.

And then, of course, when the culture of compliance and mutual enforcement fails, there are the people who are explicitly tasked with rooting out opposition. Hard to untangle from people who are in positions of authority already (i.e. Markus and the Chief) but there's the Sibyls and the late inquisitor. MarkOS too, technically, as most secutors are hard-wired to serve a surveillance function.

I did Not get into it on their post, but the Sibyls in particular are walking two different paths re: being agents of inquisition. The current Sibyl enforces faithfulness with the fervor of someone who 100% believes in what she's doing, and that sincerity is where she draws her power and sway-- leading by example and scaring the shit out of anyone who doesn't live up to her expectations. This is why anything short of perfect adherence is so disturbing to her, from others and especially from herself. She's the shining golden child, and if she can't get it right, who can?

The ex-Sibyl, on the other hand, considered all the little lies and implicit threats of divine retribution to be tools in a toolbox, vital to keeping people alive in the face of unconscionable violence, and especially in situations where fragmenting and defecting could threaten their survival. whether or not this was actually true may have had some kind of effect on her going absolutely off the shitts later. But her understanding of The Propaganda as a utilitarian tool allowed her play both sides, forming authentic relationships with the rest of her company and more effectively identifying where doubt and fear is hiding through these relationships... Even if it tore her apart in the end.

Barring Reyes, most of these walnuts are coming from positions of relative privilege that make it challenging to let go of the lies sold to them. I think it's easier to see past the power blinders when you go down the hierarchy. Obviously there is a. Big interest in selling the public on the idea that they stand to gain from throwing their lot in with the Empire and the Powers That Be, in much the same way that certain political forces need you to rest assured in the idea that anyone can become a billionaire if they just pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. The alternative is also the threat of Death and Dying, or maybe being left to the "savage and uncaring embrace of the cosmos," which the Archive assures you is full of nasty things that want to drink your bone marrow and eat your eyeballs. Anyway. Point is, I think it's more common than meets the eye for the average citizen of the Empire to be aware that Something Is Wrong, but moved to inaction by despair, or fear, or survival, or just complacency.

And as long as that doesn't turn into visible, organized action (or as long as they are sneaky enough) it gives the appearance of cohesion, even if it's false. It's enough that even someone like Reyes could make the mistake of assuming the average Imperial is so brainwashed they're not aware of the power dynamics at play. (or at least. Some of them. misinformation about things like other spacefaring communities and nonhuman peoples abounds.)

Mostly this just means Reyes is surrounded by people who are uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh acting out of fear of something that both does and doesn't hold the power over them that they think it does.

@apaise​

the rain comes as unexpectedly as the ghost from the past elena saw earlier. despite working in the same business as her ex-wife, the possibility of them crossing paths again always felt distant to her ( denial, perhaps ). clash of crowns didn’t sound like the type of project toni would take an interest in     but then, the same could be said for elena. from what she had been following of toni’s work ( all via third parties, she’d claim ), it seemed her ex had gone through a number of different genres over time. toni picking up a fantasy period piece shouldn’t be so surprising in the end.

it didn’t stop elena’s heart from tightening when she saw toni anyway. the famous director showed up plenty on tv and her social media feed     yet it did not compare to seeing her face to face on set. elena had been so shocked, she didn’t even get a single word out. toni didn’t either. if elena had any suspicion she took the job so they’d meet again, it was quickly shut down.

she was glad for the string of meetings that followed. it meant there was no time to see toni... which was equal parts a relief and oddly disappointing. elena knows better than to get her hopes up, though. even if toni seemed to be a changed person, their story would end as it always does. it would be foolish to expect a different ending.

with the work day finally over, elena makes her way to a convenience store close by     in dire need of some comfort snacks; cinnamon biscuits should do the trick. the sudden rain doesn’t deter her from her path, and instead elena opts to duck under a few awnings on the way; it’d be too much of a hassle to get her foldable umbrella from her bag for such a short walk.

finally reaching her blissfully dry destination, elena unceremoniously shakes off any stray droplets clinging to her clothes and hair. were diego here, he’d tease her mercilessly for the unseemly behavior     elena feels like she’s earned it after the incredibly long day she’s had. focusing on her work felt impossible when toni was inhabiting her every thought. elena couldn’t stop dreading their first actual interaction ( she couldn’t escape it forever ). what could they even say to each other after so long apart? after all the pain and heartbreak they caused each other?

as if mocking her already grim fate, the universe throws her yet another curveball. only a few feet from where she’s standing is none other than toni herself. she seems to be just in shock as elena, her hand stopped midair as she reached for the last umbrella for sale. of course she wouldn’t think to bring one in advance. elena quickly brushes off the thought; she couldn’t act like that anymore     like she knew toni.

walking away without a word felt too cruel. they may not be together anymore, but they could never be strangers either. especially now that they’d be working together for who knows how many months. an olive branch, however long overdue, would possibly be the best course of action.

“     hey. ” her attempt to sound nonchalant is anything but. she never mastered the craft as well as toni. “ twice in the same day. hiding out from the rain? ”
