Why are people so afraid of making the Reader in X Reader fics an elderly person like the actual fucking love interest. It's always that they're younger then the character and that's just...why are people so afraid of making the Reader old. Let them have a beard full of grey hairs and let them be balding let them have kids,,, fuck let them have grandkids. Why is my 60 year old blorbo being paired with a reader in their 20s, or at the least visibly younger. Let Readers be old when they're shipped with old characters

Invasion Spoilers
I think Reinhardt's interaction with Omnics during invasion is interesting. He has like that racism that old people have when they don't realize they are racist.
Examples he thinks robots and omnics are interchangeable words, we have other characters to correct these like Lucio in the Rio fight, on the ship Rein may say something referring to the robots on the ship and calls them omnics, while Lucio will correct and say "nah, they are just mindless drones" there is a difference between robots and omnics and this story is showing us that.
the mission in Canada when everyone is thinking of what to do about these things on the omnic civilians heads, Reinhardt goes up to one and tries to rip it off, when he is stopped he straight up says "What? its just a robot?"
Reinhardt is a product of being in a war with these people, but it's in a strange state of having been in a time before they were people, before they were awoken by the Iris. I have to wonder how the other older overwatch characters think about Omnics. We know from Invasion that Trob fully sees Omnics as people and more than just machines, we can also see this in his relationship with Bastion, We have an idea that Jack (Soldier 76) has compassion for them but nothing really solid.
I had no real direction to take this just wanted to bring it up cause i thought it was interesting.

I'd love to see some positive Illari interactions with some of the friendliest heroes (Lucio, Junkrat, Reinhardt and Tracer especially). She really needs some positivity in her life given what she's gone through.
Illari: So, no one in history before you has ever been chronally dissociated, but you managed to develop a whole fighting style using its abilities?
Tracer: Well, I wouldn't even have the abilities without a chronal accelerator. And it's not really a martial style, it's combination of standard Overwatch training, sparring with Genji, and just, kinda... how I move?
Illari: You sell yourself short. I can think of a lot of people out there who would do anything to replicate what you can do.
Tracer: Well they shouldn't--I don't think it's very good for the Time-space continuum.
----
Junkrat: Y'know, when I look at you, and then I squeeze my eyes shut, I get all these pretty spots in my eyelids!
Illari: *suppressed snicker* Um, thank you?
Junkrat: No, no, thank you!

[During setup on Paraiso]
Lúcio: You know, one of these nights you should stop by Club Sinestesia! Just dance, feel the energy of the crowd, and cut loose!
Illari: I... don't think that's a good idea. Crowds and me... is not a good idea.
Lúcio: Oh, um... okay. Maybe something smaller, then?
Illari: ...I'll think about it.
----
Reinhardt: You fight with such ferocity! But I sense... a weight in your heart.
Illari: You don't know what you're talking about, old man.
Reinhardt: Oh, but I do! Such is the power of a warrior's bond! And what warrior has not known pain or loss?
Illari: *huff* I'd rather not talk about it.
Reinhardt: No need! True warriors need only draw strength from each other's presence! But whatever weight you carry, know I would be happy to help shoulder the burden!
Illari: Ugh. Fine. Whatever.
*pause*
Illari: *sniffles*
Reinhardt: Eh?
Illari: *voice thick* Why did you say that!?
Reinhardt: ...because of the warrior's bond?
Illari: *voice breaking* What did you do to me!?
