I don't see Pharah getting drunk off a sparkling wine. Maybe beer or whiskey or overdoing it on the cocktails.

Either that or Mercy gave her the ol' Bill Cosby.

Hunting. twitter artists having a funny habit of on top of sometimes not bothering with the pairing tags, also doing that thing where they have two accounts and the NSFW one's hidden behind some verified follower bullshit that they just turn on and off randomly.

They're probably used to it, but I'd rather just wait than them waking up in the morning with a notification of "Hey some fatass American wants to see your Korean FPS lesbo porn."

I'm gonna be honest, I'm just really lazy and the whole thing with a hairdryer and the scanner, it's a big commitment. But I promise you I will get that scanned before the new year.

Maybe if I'm lucky enough to get jury duty I'll have time to sit in a courthouse all day ripping apart a

As much as it'd probably be funny to imagine Michael Chu dying inside while the higher ups force him to write the thing the fanbase actually likes, everything that involves actual writing from Overwatch has been shit at best, where they think shoveling bad things and trauma in a characters' plate is an interesting development/backstory and have done fuck-all with the setting.

At this point I'm more content with the sort of ethereal "here are two characters you know about, in a video game you put a few hours in, doing gay stuff, cuddling or whatever."

Emily was never as fulfilling as Amelie. I would've rather had more comics of Widowmaker and Tracer having violent showdowns and antagonistic exchanges than Tracer being gay with her own Moneypenny at home while she goes off shooting Korean teenagers in Egypt, or Pharah and Mercy being gay or whatever.

We've talked to death about how inconsistent they've been with Widowmaker, how every aspect of what makes her Widowmaker, is retooled and retconned as needed for whatever is going on, whether it be for a goofy in-game verbal exchange or some going-ons in a comic.

Imagine Tracer tracking Widowmaker in France, as she's leaving her husband's grave. Tracer can't comprehend how nonchalant Widow can be about committing heinous acts like assassinating a religious leader. Now imagine, Tracer has to reconcile her perception of Widowmaker, what she may or may not know about Amelie, and her witnessing a more human and vulnerable Widowmaker, and how she proceeds with this. The yuri fryers are revved up. Nothing they make will live up to what you're imagining.

It's the uncanny valley of yuri. Things are better when you have gaps to work with, like Touhou. Sure, it means we get lots of Pharah/Mercy working at Starbucks and singing Bruno Mars songs because your average tumblr girl won't know any classic rock songs outside of Journey, but you gotta take the bitter with the sweet.

Actually, rocket jumping is all about shooting yourself in the face. Or, well, at a surface that's directly parallel and very close to your face.

>>2399781
>Or, well, at a surface that's directly parallel and very close to your face.

You want to shoot directly away from where you want to go. Only time the rocket's making direct contact is in the rare time you're on a rocket jumping map and part of the gimmick involves having someone on the enemy team shoot you with a rocket in midair.

Yeah, but you're still facing it when it explodes, most of the time. Unless you're one of those rocketjumping Soldier mains who can turn around, fire a rocket and flick back before that rocket explodes.

>a basketball uniform
That would be great, too. I don't know why they gave Pharah a shitty basketball spray last year but now are going with soccer. I mean, sure, people can play more than one sports, but come on.

I kinda also want something like pic related for her.

I mean, if you break it down like that, of course it sounds like autism powers.

It's like that famous SF3 video, Daigo vs Justin Wong. Yes, the absolute precision needed for that comeback sounds insane when you deconstruct it to frame-by-frame fundamentals, but it's refining it into subconscious, instinctual maneuvers that's where it counts.

Being able to access different routes or cover territory is great, but keeping it in mind as a fundamental part of the arsenal to run down equally mobile entities like Scouts or Demos in the heat of a skirmish is where rocket jump practice will really shine.

She already has a lot of mythological figures in play. Zenyatta has Ra, but her default stuff is basically Horus, the raptor headed god who much like Ra manifested or bequeathed the divine authority of the pharaoh, and was also the god of the sky, war, overcoming great evil, and other fun activities.

Anubis is the obvious one. Much like the valkyrie, he is often portrayed as a psychopomp, appropriate for an offense hero, and also a guardian of tombs.

And last but not least, the Thunderbird, a dispenser of justice, that prevents evil from overrunning the land and protects humanity, depending on which indigenous American myth you're into.

I'm not sure about any specific historical figures, and what other Egyptian gods of note can be used for Pharah. Portraying Pharah in Hellenistic attire or as a GrecoRoman goddess to accompany Mercy is a popular topic recently. I'd love a Hoplite or Centurion-themed power armor, personally.

You're not alone. The only way tumblr is able to portray relationships is with one person acting like a harem anime-tier flustered retard 24/7 and the other teasing them and acting provocative. This is what happens when most of literature you read is manga.

Had a thought.

Dominates:
>Zarya
>Sym
>Widow
>Sombra
>Ana

Switch
>D.Va
>Mercy
>Pharah

Submissives
>Tracer
>Mei


This feels accurate.
>>
>>2400845
It certainly puts her whole "when I was a child I was afraid of spiders" bit into a whole new light. That must have been some childhood. I wonder if her family knows what she's been up to. If they aren't approving hard of what she does
>>
>>2400782
So Talon actually let's her live on her own?
Now I have to imagine her place like an anti-version of Wayne Manor. with her personal Spider Den in the basement.
>>
>>2400854
Mostly accurate, I think, though I think Zarya would either be a Switch or a Sub if Volskya is her Dom.
>>
>>2400859
Wouldn't it be more fitting to be in the rafters?
>>
>>2400861
Well, I guess so. Now the question is, does she have a female Butler akin to Alfred?
And of course her parents should be alive, to be even more of an anti-thesis to Bats.
>>
>>2400862
>female butler
So a maid or a governess? The fact that Amelie's actually using the château as her own hide away makes me think her parents are dead/not involved to the point of being a non-factor.
>>
>>2400863
Governess. A maid isn't even remotel of the same ranks as a butler.

And maybe her parents are still alive, you know as Talon supporters or something. Given her little childhood anecdote they probably aren't the nicest of people and I could see them hide Amelie from public not long after Gerard was killed.
>>
>>2400866
Talon supporters is way too clean. I mean I could see it, but only if it's done to a comical degree and it's more about them being out-of-touch rich people that keep bugging her when she's home. Talon was the one who had her vanish after Gerard. Now if that was her going to a talon safehouse or the château is up to debate but more than likely Talon was the one behind her laying low. Not her parents.
>>
>>2400870
>Amelie, dear, you should go out more. Maybe make a trip with us to our holiday home. You really need to work on your tan

>So what have you been up to these days
>I shot Tekharta Mondatta...
>That's nice to hear
>>
>>2400878
>Dear, there's this spirited brit that keeps coming around. Can you do something about her? You know I don't like to answer the door unless it's past eight.
Somrba would have such a laff
>>
>>2400878
Now I want to see a fic where Widow's parents are really embarrassing and absent minded.
>>
>>2400882
Cue in Tracer and Widow shooting at each other in the background while Mommy and Daddy are relaxing and talking about rich people shit?
>>
>>2400883
Well they'd be, what, 60+?
I think that's a given with that age.
>>
>>2400886
Probably, or something where one of them vaguely recognizes overwatch colors and invites Tracer to have brunch.
>Amélie dear, isn't your husband part of this...superlook thing too?
>He's dead, father.
>Don't say that, I'm sure he'll be right as rain soon.
>>
>>2400787
Omfg yes yes and more yes!!
>>
>>2400890
Turns out Talon didn't have to do much to brainwash her. Just lock her in a room and force her to watch videos of family gatherings did the trick.

>So where are you going today?
>Russia, for a mission from Talon
>Now that you mention it I could use a manicure, talons indeed.
>>
>>2400895
>Remember to pack warmly dear, it's a bit chilly out.

Man I could see Sombra being all sneaky like and thinking she's top infiltrator to the point where she dresses up as a maid to get into the château proper, looks to be on an island, and totally doesn't expect the place having only a skeleton crew. Gets roped into actually being a maid

>Somver was it? Could you get me some of the '87 merlot? The silly cook served the wrong wine with dinner.
>It's Sombra
>Of course it is, but our food's getting cold.
>¡Dios mío!
>There's a good girl.
>>
How would Widowmaker explain her relationship with Reaper, Doomfist and Sombra?

>That mexican girl is so pretty, but her nails are so ugly, she should cut that.
>She's a hacker working for Talon, mother.
>Well, she does have some talons.
>>
>>2400901
Reaper probably gets confused for a coathanger with all that lurking about.
>>
>>2400901
Like you said for Sombra or something combining the maid idea with her being Amelie's pen pal friend from her youth. Akandi is obviously Sombra's finance or something, and they somehow win him over. They see Reaper floating around one night cause he got in late and just casually think he's one of their ancestors just being a ghost and being corporeal.

>Me and your Father are so happy you and your friends could stay for the holidays here, Amélie
>Of course mother.
>Wait a moment, where's dear uncle Gabriel?
>Who?
>Come off it, Amélie. You remember your great-uncle Gabriel. He only ever seems to be around when your friends visit.
>Oh.
>>
>Mr. Reyes, how did you meet Amélie?
>We work together.
>Oh, that's nice to hear, I hope you two get along well.
>We do.
>Sombra dear, could you pass me the salt?
>>
>>2400908
Gotta love Overwatch's Team Rocket.

Random thoughts while working earlier:

-There was talks on reddit about the nature of Amelie's conditioning into becoming WM, and that it seems like her old personality peaks through every so often (vising her late husband's grave), and that the process to condition wasn't perfect. Personally, I like to think that whenever the WM mask slips or cracks, she has to get mandatory recondition to reapply the mask, but after Doomfist's and his cohort's hostile takeover of Talon, they killed the ones responsible for keeping her in check. Pure headcanon on my part, I know.

-Tracer would not make for a good sub (or would make for a terrific one, depending on who you ask), cause she'd want to be punished for failing to save Mondatta, and she wouldn't shut up about it.

Event's been out for like a week. If twitter can yield 40 fucking pictures of Pharah in a soccer uniform dry humping Nike!Mercy we should be able to find summer Widow, relaxing by the pool, being doted on by maid Tracer. Doesn't even need a sex toy up there, just goofy ass maid Tracer having the time of her life and resisting the urge to burst out giggling while serving Widowmaker cocktails, applying sunscreen(does Widow even tan?), and saying shit like "can I take your hat, madam?"

You know what? I just want to see Tracer applying for the maid job now.

Tracer's got a line on HotS that explains that she sometimes has dreams about being a kitchen maid in some big house in the country. Even though it's just supposed to be a Downtown Abbey reference it's fun to think of her as Amélie's maid, I guess.

Absolutely, but a lot of artists like that bit of connection, especially one that is canon dialogue.

Its not a huge stretch to have maid Tracer to be serving Amelie. We probably would have a shit ton of art already if it werent for this info being so meager and not well known

(not to be a huge nerd but the Downton Abbey character worked in the kitchen so id love to see Tracer preparing either excellent or god awful food for Amelie)

I hope you get what you want, anon. Even if you don't I'm planning to draw something, since I'm way into maid outfits as well and Amélie's mansion seems like the perfect excuse.

I mean she can literally own property and move as she pleases.
I suppose you could say she is a prisoner in a way how a mafia member can't just one day wake up and decide, nope not doing this shit anymore because they know too much but (then again they didnt seem to mind Reaper being just a mercenary, or is that retconed now with him being on their spooky council and all.) I mean more how she isn't kept locked somewhere in some Talon base and not allowed to leave.
>>
>>2401485
Think more literal. They got her heart in some sort of glass case, and they'll eventually place it in the west wing of château Guillard to be a constant reminder of their hold on her. This obviously leads to more wine being drunk.
>>
Riddle me this

When a fan asked why Widow doesnt cover up her blue skin regarding the last comic, Chu said that its becuase no one would ever mess with Widow.

However on Widows tickets she uses the name Danielle Guillard. Like? Whats the alias for if she doesnt exactly hide who she is?? I could totally understand going back to her maiden name but why the first name change?
>>
>>2401498
Amelie might still be missing instead of just "dead"/talon'd meanwhile Guillard could have several other relatives not directly connected to Amelie's family. Plus Amelie Guillard/Lacroix was a relatively prolific figure, and mention of the name would probably get flagged
>>
>>2401500
Yeah. This way she can just pretend that she's a sister or something.
>>
>>2401505
Cousin, but sure.
>>
>>2401485
But she is not allowed to leave. Not in a physical sense, as in Talon doesn't put her in a cage every time she returns from a mission, but her conditioning most likely doesn't let her get away from Talon or refuse to follow orders.

>then again they didnt seem to mind Reaper being just a mercenary
There is a difference between brainwashed murderers they literally created and contractors like Sombra and/or Reaper (yeah, I think it's been retconned).

>>
>>2401538
Maybe we shouldn't assume so many "most likelies" since every update generally reveals surprising things no one expected.
She went from "has no emotions" to visiting graves to owning a whole giant castle.
For all we know in some next lore update she might decide she doesn't like Talon anymore and become a runaway.
>>
>>2401541
There's retconning and then there's completely throwing the character's backstory out of the window.
You're describing the latter. Not that I doubt Blizzard's ability to do it, but I will never default to "they can fuck everything up so let's not make assumptions at all".
>>
>>2401543
She was supposed to be an emotionless assassin and "Amelie Lacroix no more" and they already retconned that going by how she visits her late husbands grave and buys home of her ancestors.
Also the nature of her brainwashing was never really described so it might very well be more like "they messed with her head to make her genuinely believe in their cause" than "there's a mind control button in her brain that makes her literally unable to refuse orders"
>>
>>2401553
>there's a mind control button in her brain that makes her literally unable to refuse orders
She feels "alive" when she follows their orders. That's like a dog that feels good when it gets praised, so it keeps following your commands.

>believe in their cause
She was brainwashed, anon, not made retarded.
>>
>>2401555
>She feels "alive" when she follows their orders. That's like a dog that feels good when it gets praised, so it keeps following your commands.
Her getting adrenaline rush into her cold dead body while on a mission and liking the feeling doesn't imply anything about being unable to refuse orders.

>She was brainwashed, anon, not made retarded.
the point of being brainwashed is making the subject believe retarded things
>>
>>2401560
>Her getting adrenaline rush into her cold dead body while on a mission and liking the feeling doesn't imply anything about being unable to refuse orders
Drug addict getting a pleasant feeling from shoving another dose of meth inside of them doesn't imply anything about being unable to refuse another dose.
Wait, no.

If we're talking about conditioning, then yes, it does imply it. She feels good when she follows orders. It's "very likely" that she feels bad when she doesn't or even that she simply can't refuse orders when it comes from a specific person/place/whatever, that's how conditioning works. That's how you condition people to, say, keep certain information to themselves even under torture — you put these mental blocks that they are unable to break.
>>
>>2401562
That comparison doesn't make sense. She feels good when blood flows faster into her veins because they slowed it down to make her a better assassin. Nowhere was it implied they used that as a conditioning technique. If anything the whole "spiders - that is me - are never more alive than during the moment of a kill >:)" is just Widow being her goofy cartoon villain self.
Also in real life brainwashing wears off pretty quickly when the subject re-enters society and isnt kept locked away only exposed for the influence of their brainwasher, which Widow clearly isn't, so maybe bringing up how it works in real life to explain her situation isnt the best idea.
>>
>>2401572
>She feels good when blood flows faster into her veins because they slowed it down to make her a better assassin.
Citation needed.

>which Widow clearly isn't
Citation needed. She is allowed to live in a castle, drinking herself into a coma. That's not "re-entering society", nor does it mean Talon can't bring her in to reapply conditioning whenever they feel like it.

>Nowhere was it implied they used that as a conditioning technique.
>Talon operatives kidnapped her and subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent.

>She is allowed to live in a castle, drinking herself into a coma. That's not "re-entering society", nor does it mean Talon can't bring her in to reapply conditioning whenever they feel like it.
Come on, she can go into the city whenever she wants to, as evidenced by the Christmas comic, she buys fancy clothes, she decided to renovate her castle, she books her own trips, has no problems fitting in on a fancy party and in general why the fuck would Talon allow a "mindless drone" to own a fucking castle and live in it by herself? Or are there actually Talon agents on the map that forbid her from leaving as she pleases?
At this point it's you who needs to show evidence the mind control they have over her is the way you claim it is.

>>2401539
People already hate Mei with burning passion for being able to freeze you imagine a character that could freeze everyone at once.
>>
>>2401579
I kinda toyed with the idea of a time-controlling support. Holding Shift produces a small aura that speeds up ability cooldowns for everyone who's standing in it and drains the character's power charge, E resets cooldowns for one teammate, ultimate decreases cooldowns by 90% in a large area (about the size of Centaur McHorselady's ultimate) for six seconds. Then I remembered I don't know shit about game design and scrapped that idea.

I thought about the ultimate being a time stop/slow down for a while, but then realized it wouldn't fly in a multiplayer game.

>>2401582
>Citation needed on her heartbeat being slowed down specifically to make her an obedient dog who follows orders to feel good I guess then
You'll have to try again, I can't comprehend what you were trying to say here. Her heartbeat was slowed down because something something better firing rate, according to Jeff.

>she can go into the city whenever she wants to
Citation needed. She did it once.

>she buys fancy clothes
>she books her own trips
Well then Blizzard have retconned another character's story. Can't say I'm surprised.

>has no problems fitting in on a fancy party
She was a famous ballet dancer in her previous life. Conditioning doesn't necessarily erase everything you've ever known.

>why the fuck would Talon allow a "mindless drone" to own a fucking castle and live in it by herself?
Because they're retarded. Have you heard their ultimate goal?
Besides, I didn't call her a "mindless drone". Conditioning doesn't necessarily turn you braindead; as I said, it can just use mental blocks to force you into following a certain course of action in certain situations.

>At this point it's you who needs to show evidence the mind control they have over her is the way you claim it is.
I can't. So far the only thing that gave us her POV was Alive, and it was more than a year ago. Call me back when they release another short for her.
>>
>>2401589
>Her heartbeat was slowed down because something something better firing rate, according to Jeff.
The assumption is that for Widow "following orders = feels good". I'm saying that the "feel good/alive" comes from the blood rush she gets in her normally numb body when going on a mission, thus her actually enjoying going on her missions. Not because Talon's conditioning told her thats how she is supposed to feel but because she likes to feel blood rush. Like she also screams "I feel ALIVE" when Ana pumps her body with nanoboost.

>Citation needed. She did it once.
Well that's more than the evidence that she can't.
Also she clearly has internet access at her castle.

>I can't. So far the only thing that gave us her POV was Alive, and it was more than a year ago.
Okay but then don't say that "this is how her brain works now".
Piecing together all the info we have it looks like the "supressed, broken and reprogrammed" is either irrelevant anymore just as their initial claims that she has no emotions, or only reffering to Amelie at the very beginning of Talon before she killed Gerard.
It's pretty clear her ego is not so supressed anymore with how she, again, visits her husband's grave and now we learned she uses her actual maiden name and decided to buy the home of her ancestors. That sounds to be pretty at odds with her allegedly being reborn as an assassin with no connection to her previous life.
It seems like at this point she is just a regular Talon operative that they obviously trust enough to be on her own. You even see it from how Doomfist talks to her, praising her effectiveness and saying how Talon could use more people like her, that's not how you talk to a subordinate who has no autonomy.
>>
>>2401600
>I'm saying that the "feel good/alive" comes from the blood rush she gets in her normally numb body when going on a mission
Citation needed. It isn't stated anywhere that this is what she is rewarded with for killing people/toasters. For all we know, this might only be a part of the effect or even a by-product of a chemically induced "praise".

>Like she also screams "I feel ALIVE" when Ana pumps her body with nanoboost.
She screams "I feel ALIVE" when she's pumped full of drugs that make people go bonkers. This does not support your "blood moves = feels alive" connection.

>Okay but then don't say that "this is how her brain works now".
Why not? This is how her brain is described to work now. Until Blizzard come out and say "Haha, yeah, pranked ya", I'm going to assume so, at least to a reasonable extent (i.e. her brokenness has obviously been retconned and her "emotionless" part has never existed in the first place but there is no evidence she isn't under the effect of conditioning).
>>
>>2401604
>Citation needed. It isn't stated anywhere that this is what she is rewarded with for killing people/toasters.
Well there's more pointing out to it than to anything you claim happens inside her brain that we have absolutely no clue to assume.

>This does not support your "blood moves = feels alive" connection.
It supports it though as she uses exactly the same phrase in both cases.

>This is how her brain is described to work now.
It's literally never described anywhere how her brain works. The only thing stated is that she went through some conditioning when she was first kidnapped, reprogrammed as a sleeper agent and sent to kill her husband. From that time something like 7 years passed.
All in all, I'm not saying Talon has no longer any influence over her and everything she does she does out of her own will, but it's pretty evident her brainwashing is more of a"Harley Quinn" style than "Winter Soldier" style.
>>
>>2401609
>Well there's more pointing out to it than to anything you claim happens inside her brain that we have absolutely no clue to assume.
The only thing pointing to it is her saying stuff with a heartbeat in the background. Which can happen due to a multitude of reasons, most of them having to do with chemicals releasing in her body, as there's quite literally no other way to do it.

>It supports it though as she uses exactly the same phrase in both cases.
...No? She uses "I feel alive" phrase when she's pumped full of drugs. She uses "I feel alive" phrase after she's killed Mondatta. Going with this connection, killing Mondatta pumped her full of drugs.

>It's literally never described anywhere how her brain works.
>The only thing stated is that she went through some conditioning when she was first kidnapped, reprogrammed as a sleeper agent and sent to kill her husband.
Yeah, that's the description of how her brain works. A reconditioned agent with broken personality. Although we can't tell how much of her personality has changed, since we've never met Amelie Whatshername.
>>
At this point this, they should just make a short or a comic detailing the exact nature of Amelie's/WM's situation to stop with the complaining and arguments.

Personally, I like to think of it of turning her into "99% WM, while retaining 1% of her original Amelie personality - otherwise, she'd be little more than a mindless drone", and that every so often, the mask of conditioning begins to slip, making her old personality peak through. So, they make her retake the process to keep her in line, until they get to the point where they trust her enough to let her condition herself.

And as for Reaper's retconned backstory, if I have to try and twist it around to make it work, you could have Reaper as a mercenary/gun-for-hire, but prefers to work for Talon (they pay well, and let him do as he pleases). Eventually, they build such a relationship, that Reaper moreorless becomes a Talon agent

>Eventually, they build such a relationship, that Reaper moreorless becomes a Talon agent
I could see it, but it's been, what, five years since the fall of OW? Probably not enough time for him to recover, stop angsting about Mercy fucking him up, contact Talon, work for them, gain their trust, become one of the top members, etc. Although it's possible he's been working while Talon while leading Blackwatch.

No, the connection is "something accelerating her blood flow = pleasure"
>Yeah, that's the description of how her brain works.
Ugh, that doesn't say anything about how her brain works. It's literally stating that once they messed up with her brain enough to achieve a specific result. Not how they achieved that, what it actually did, what are the results from her perspective and how permament the results were.
It was also years ago.

That doesn't take into account other effects that the nanoboost drug has. You're only paying attention to one specific side of it.

We know how conditioning works. It's "do A and get fun stuff into your veins or do B and get punished, also don't even try to do C, it won't work", if we simplify it. We know how mindbreak works thanks, /d/. We know that conditioning is strong enough to make her kill her husband and not put up a fight when Talon came back. We know she enjoys killing, or at the very least she enjoys showing off her murder skills. We know she get a rush either from murdering or from following Talon's orders. It's enough for me to make assumptions.

>It was also years ago.
Conditioning can be and does get reapplied.

Did that bit of backstory ever make it into the game, though? I remember lines between them that was never put into the game. All I remember was Mercy asking Reaper what happened with him, and him responding "You tell me, doc" (sorta like a "You're the doctor. YOU tell me what's wrong with me).

No we don't, it's literally never explained and you are just making some conjenctures based on real world examples or other stories you read and how it worked there. Meanwhile it's Blizzard magical universe set in 2070s and you never saw the brainwashing technique they used on Widow nor did you ever had any insight into her mind except for hearing maybe 3 sentences that were in itself vague.

The matter of fact is Widow lives on her own, plans vacation from her fancy ass castle that belongs to her booking it using her own maiden name so right now nothing implies Talon has any strong hold on her anymore.
>>
>>2401625
>No we don't, it's literally never explained and you are just making some conjenctures based on real world examples or other stories you read and how it worked there.
Well, yes. Do you propose we also ignore the laws of physics because we only know how they work in the real life but not in Blizzard's magical universe? We don't _really_ know how they work there, after all, maybe the Earth there is flat and there is no gravity so everyone is required to wear very heavy boots.
>inb4 charge/jetpack/etc

>nothing implies Talon has any strong hold on her anymore
Except for the fact they have her on their beck and call. But maybe she's just started to simply enjoy killing and hanging out in casinos with angry African men with retarded life goals.
>>
>>2401627
>Do you propose we also ignore the laws of physics because we only know how they work in the real life but not in Blizzard's magical universe?
Except laws of physics are constants while brains are complicated organs that we know very little about. An apple will always fall from the tree but not all brains will react the same way to the same stimuli. So yes, it's pretty safe to assume that brainwashing techniques from 1970s might be outdated 100 years later.
Furthermore it's a fictional story and not very serious at that, so bringing up the example again who is to say Widow's brainwashing doesn't work like Harley's. As in she wants to follow her "creator" out of her own free will but still retains her memories and parts of her personality.

>But maybe she's just started to simply enjoy killing and hanging out in casinos
Well it's pretty explicit that she does with how she was having fun at the casino and how she reacts with anger for not being able to secure the gauntlet and all.
>>
>>2401629
>Except laws of physics are constants
So is it "Blizzard's magical universe" or is it "actual representation of Earth several decades in the future with the same constants"? Because fictional universes aren't required to have the same laws of physics as ours, but we still assume so for simplicity's sake.

>but not all brains will react the same way to the same stimuli
No. But we know how conditioning works from real life, and also what goals it tries to achieve.

>brainwashing techniques from 1970s might be outdated 100 years later
That doesn't matter. Brainwashers from 1970s were striving to achieve the same outcome as brainwashers from 2070, which is total control over a person. Which technique was used to achieve it is not important, as on the basic level it's the same reward/punishment system. Techniques change, of course; for example, a lot of people nowadays prefer a non-violent approach to training dogs. The base didn't change, however; you still punish a dog for disobeying and praise it for following your commands, even if you do so without hitting it.

>who is to say Widow's brainwashing doesn't work like Harley's
Nobody. So you're free to think that, and I'm free to think that she's just a dog in a human's skin, and we're all waiting for Blizzard to fail spectacularly at writing an interesting character and fuck everything up.

>fun
She sat at a table and then threw some dice. I wouldn't call it fun, but I've been told I don't know what fun is, so I'm no expert.
>>
>it's the does Widowmaker actually feel feels debate again

>>
>>2401633
>it's the does Widowmaker actually feel feels debate again
It's not that debate. Only morons think she doesn't feel anything.
It's the "does Talon control her or is she an independent individual working for Talon because she likes showing off her 'twenty bodyshots one kill' skills" debate.
>>
>>2401630
>So is it "Blizzard's magical universe" or is it "actual representation of Earth several decades in the future with the same constants"?
I don't know do we have time travel or ninja people channeling magical dragons on actual Earth?
It seems like it's more of Blizzard's magical universe so far.
It still doesn't change that your crappy physics comparison has nothing to do with meddling in brains and how that works.

>Brainwashers from 1970s were striving to achieve the same outcome as brainwashers from 2070
So you actually went to 2070? Or maybe in 50 years your "dog training/punish-reward" technique theory won't hold any relevance as adjusting someone's brain to think a certain way will be as easy as installing a cybernetic implant in their brain and uploading a small patch.

>Nobody. So you're free to think that, and I'm free to think that she's just a dog in a human's skin
Dogs dont live on their own away from their master's home. Widow does.
>>
>>2401639
>I don't know do we have time travel or ninja people channeling magical dragons on actual Earth?
So they do need very heavy boots to walk around? Or are we going to assume their physic laws work the same as ours with some caveats?

>Or maybe in 50 years your "dog training/punish-reward" technique theory won't hold any relevance as adjusting someone's brain to think a certain way will be as easy as installing a cybernetic implant in their brain and uploading a small patch.
Or maybe they have a talking pink dragon that convinced Amelie that killing is fun.
Wonder why they haven't installed these implants to everyone then, would've saved them much trouble.

>Dogs dont live on their own away from their master's home.
Ever heard of working/service dogs?
>>
>>2401635
Could it be both? I mean like making the best out of a job that she's trapped doing
>>
>>2401643
Sure, it could be. She could genuinely enjoy killing and have no thoughts of trying to run away while still being trapped by conditioning/tracking devices/talking pink dragons/whatever.

We won't know either way until Blizzard decide to get their shit together and progress with the story.

We are going to not care about physics, because physics are irrelevant to the topic of our knowledge on human brain and how it might develop given several decades.
We are also not going to care about physics because claiming how some things are the same as in real life as an evidence that everything must be the same as in real life is a silly strawman argument.

>Wonder why they haven't installed these implants to everyone then, would've saved them much trouble.
Probably same reason how they haven't made every one of their agent/enemies undergo "traditional" conditioning. Or why they just haven't killed everyone standing in their way right off the bat.


>Ever heard of working/service dogs?
I never heard of a service dog living in the woods and only coming when needed, thats for sure.
>>
>>2401651
>We are going to not care about physics, because physics are irrelevant to the topic of our knowledge on human brain and how it might develop given several decades.
No, we are going to care about physics, because regardless of the exact topic we're talking about, the principle is the same: in absence of any evidence to the contrary, we assume things work exactly as they do in the real world, with adjustments to the time period and setting.
>inb4 b-but you've never been to a fictional OW version of 2070
Neither have you.

If we assume the Earth is round and has gravitation in 2070, and that human anatomy stays the same in 2070, and that vanilla ice cream is still the worst ice cream in 2070, then we can also assume the human brain in 2070 works the same as in 2017, and that the goals of brainwashing in 2070 are the same as in 2017, and that the way to reach those goals is the same or similar to what we have in 2017. Otherwise you'll have to convince me they don't have talking pink dragons, because we can assume anything, right? Fictional things don't have to be the same as in real life, after all.

>Probably same reason how they haven't made every one of their agent/enemies undergo "traditional" conditioning.
"Traditional" conditioning takes time and resources, and it needs to be reapplied on a regular basis. Putting an implant in is quick and easy, even though whoever programmed it for Widow, if we were to use that theory, was retarded, as she clearly has too much free will for someone whose thoughts are supposed to be controlled.

>I never heard of a service dog living in the woods and only coming when needed
Stop moving your goalposts, mate. No, dogs don't live in the woods. A lot of military dogs, however, live in kennels (especially during training) and only come out when they're needed. That is, when their master promises them a pat on the head for following orders like a good blue-skinned dog they are.
>>
>>2401662
>in absence of any evidence to the contrary, we assume things work exactly as they do in the real world, with adjustments to the time period and setting.
And the evidence is there: the conditioning you claim was used on her requires the subject to be constantly stimulated otherwise a human brain starts rejecting it as soon is it gets a bit of a room to breathe. Widow clearly has her own independent thoughts on matters and lives away from any Talon HQ, so until you show me evidence there's actually a secret chamber installed in her castle where Talon handlers wait for any signs of relapse and put her back on an an electric chair I'm going to assume the nature of her brainwashing must be slightly different than whatever CIA documentary you saw describes it as.

>"Traditional" conditioning takes time and resources
So is a brain surgery

>as she clearly has too much free will for someone whose thoughts are supposed to be controlled.
She sure does. That's why I'm saying her thoughts aren't controlled.

>Stop moving your goalposts, mate. No, dogs don't live in the woods. A lot of military dogs, however, live in kennels (especially during training) and only come out when they're needed.
Can they leave that place without their owners' supervision? If not then it's not relevant to Widow's situation.
>>
>>2401662
>>2401667
Why argue surgery or traditional conditioning when they could just inject some nanos?
>>
>>2401672
sure nanomachines working as brain parasites making her believe Talon is cool and she should stick with them is plausible too.
>>
>>2401667
>the conditioning you claim was used on her requires the subject to be constantly stimulated otherwise a human brain starts rejecting it as soon is it gets a bit of a room to breathe
Citation needed. Behavioral therapy and modification is widely used in modern psychotherapy, in particular when it comes to treating addiction. While it isn't 100% effective, obviously, the human brain doesn't start "rejecting it as soon is it gets a bit of a room to breathe". Combined with altering the physiology or brain chemistry of the patient as well as the initial mental break down it will likely be extremely effective. Problems might start (and they seem to be starting now) when the subject becomes more resilient to the methods used.
What you might be referring to is conditioning with the use of drugs, which does fall off after a while, especially as the body starts to develop resistance.

>in her castle
It doesn't have to be in her castle. There are such thing as "vehicles" that can "transport" people to "places".

>It doesn't have to be in her castle. There are such thing as "vehicles" that can "transport" people to "places".
Sure, and like with a secret chamber in her castle, I'm gonna take it into consideration when I see any evidence it's what happens.

>You were the one who brought up a mind-controlling chip.
I used the word "adjusting" not "controlling".


>You're moving goalposts again.
You are being obtuse again. Dogs are never autonomous from their masters no matter where they are place atm. They don't decide they are gonna take vacation or visit a cemetary because they feel like it. So no, still not like Widow.
>>
>>2401684
>We aren't talking about curing someones addiction we are talking about overwriting someone's entire personality, kinda a different level
Who says her personality was overwritten? She got a rush from dancing. Now she gets a a rush from killing. It's not a terribly difficult thing to program, given Talon's access to medical knowledge and equipment, and for all we know, her personality didn't change much, as I said earlier.
>>2401612
>Although we can't tell how much of her personality has changed, since we've never met Amelie Whatshername.

>I used the word "adjusting" not "controlling".
>adjusting someone's brain to think a certain way
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means "making someone think a certain thing". Which is as good as "controlling the way they think".

>They don't decide they are gonna take vacation or visit a cemetary because they feel like it
You're implying Widow won't be back at Doomfist's side as soon as he whistles for her. She visits a cemetery in her free time. A dog gnaws on a tennis ball in-between training sessions. Either way, should their masters call for them, they'll be there, no questions asked.

>Who says her personality was overwritten?
She might have been a smug, sassy bitch all her life. But helping someone get over alcoholism is on a different level than convincing them to murder their husband and maintain the idea in their mind that it was a good thing to do for years.
Obviously we don't know the details, maybe things between them werent great and they just used a doubt that was already in her mind. Maybe she still believes whatever they told her about him or maybe she is aware they tricked her into killing him but she rolls with working for them because what else can she do now.

>this means "making someone think a certain thing". Which is as good as "controlling the way they think".
If someone survives getting struck by lightning and finds themselves with an altered personality afterwards that doesn't mean the lightning is mind controlling them

>You're implying Widow won't be back at Doomfist's side as soon as he whistles for her.
>Either way, should their masters call for them, they'll be there, no questions asked.

That applies to any Talon agent who doesn't want to get branded as fugitive and hunted down for "betrayal". Just like usually you don't get involved with a criminal or terroristic organization or some secret society cult and have the ability to walk away free.
Whether she stays with them because she just likes doing what she does, her loyalty is artificial or she simply doesn't fancy living the life of a fugitive is unclear. Working for Talon is evidently lucrative considering what she can afford and bills won't pay for themselves,
>>
>>2401826
>But helping someone get over alcoholism is on a different level than convincing them to murder their husband
The basics are the same. You reinforce the behavior you want to see and punish the one you don't want to see.

>it was a good thing to do for years
For one, her trip to the cemetery seems to indicate that part isn't working properly. For another, destroying a person's ability to empathize isn't that hard, again, considering Talon's resources. Some real-life murderers simply don't feel anything for their victims; recreating a short-term version of that just so she could kill Gerard wouldn't be too hard. And if she feels some kind of remorse later, who cares? It's done.

>If someone survives getting struck by lightning and finds themselves with an altered personality afterwards that doesn't mean the lightning is mind controlling them
No. But if someone is getting struck by the lightning every time they try to take a cookie out of a jar, then lightning is controlling their behavior.
And an chip that was implanted with a purpose to change your responses to things isn't a random natural phenomenon.

>That applies to any Talon agent who doesn't want to get branded as fugitive and hunted down for "betrayal".
We don't know whether low-level Talon agents are involved in the global plot. When you're in the business of killing people and instigating world-wide conflicts, you have to either really believe your cause, like what you're doing or be brainwashed; simply being branded as a "fugitive" won't stop people from defecting if they are truly against the idea of seeing the world burn. It's possible Talon just doesn't let drones do the dirty work and relegates it to specialized agents like Widow or Reaper.

>Just like usually you don't get involved with a criminal or terroristic organization or some secret society cult and have the ability to walk away free.
No. But you also don't get involved if you simply want a new iPhone and the car-washing doesn't pay.
>>
>>
>>2401841
>But if someone is getting struck by the lightning every time they try to take a cookie out of a jar, then lightning is controlling their behavior.
I implied they could have altered her thinking as a one time operation , meaning theres no lighting striking her continuously because she seemingly has no interest in cookies anymore.

Anyway for a while this debate has been dealing with hypotheticals which isnt terribly productive.
Whether her conditioning was torture, simple manipulation that exploted the doubts of her mind, hypnosis, a needle to brain or whatever else and how it works or worked is unclear. So until we are shown exactly how they treat her these days and/or her thought process I'm going to go with what I see which is her leading a life not so different than any other Talon employee.

I don't read fics, I just have robots vomit new fanart from twitter, pixiv et al under the Widowtracer and Pharmercy tags in various languages at me every day, then come here and listen to you jackoffs complain about dumb shit written by amateurs. But enough about the Blizzard staff.

Honestly, fics were fine maybe 20, 30 years ago when you connected to the internet like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1UY7eDRXrs

These days a JPG pops up instantly, it's easy as shit to find what you want. I don't want to learn about some weird ass Alpha/Omega/Bravo/Foxtrot social dynamic or your barista tattoo parlor high school alternate universe.

A four panel comic about Pharah waking up and giving Mercy some coffee, or coming home and cuddling up after a long day of killing things. Tracer dashing around trying to get Widowmaker to just look at her for her a bit, to make her smile or something else? That's all I'll need, I'll do the rest of the work.

The fever dream of a dozen pictures of Pharah playing sportsball and making out with a Greek goddess, while Tracer wears a track uniform to a pool date with Widowmaker, with some of them having the lyrics of top 40 pop songs(or whatever the Billboard equivalent is in China or Korea) playing off a speaker in the background or characters just outright singing it, and just having this stream-of-zeitgeist shit pouring at you over morning coffee? That's how I consume my daily bread.

Side note; did we all just collectively settle on Pharah's jersey number being 69 for the giggles?

I think MREs or whatever they're called in other countries are generally expensive, what with all that individual packaging, accessory packs, heaters and all that. It's cheaper to just buy the ingredients and cook yourself.

But canned hamburgers just sound like a very dumb and bad idea that I wouldn't mind trying out.

>apparently pharmercy shippers don't read. i'm sorry anon.
I tried going through Pharmercy fics, but Pharah has so little personality that everyone tries to fill in the gaps in different ways. I'm also pretty tired of people painting Mercy as this good dindunuffin high school girl in an adult's body who has never had to face a morally questionable choice, follow a difficult order or simply be on a battlefield. A lot of writers also portray her as a blushing, stuttering retard who loses all spaghetti once someone throws a polite compliment her way.

And since there's no rivalry between them, no indication of whether or not they kept in touch after Ana "died"/OW fell apart and barely any detail to their respective backstories, most writers don't know what to do with them, other than to put them into an awkward, spaghetti-spilling situation.

Widowtracer is more consistent. In a sense that 1/4 of an apple is still more than 0 apples.

I think An Belinden (it's in the pastebin) has my favorite portrayal of Pharah and Mercy in a fanfic.
>>
>>2402711
You're not alone. I ship PharMercy pretty hard, too.

But I do agree with >>2402693 that characters like Pharah or Mercy need to have their character more fleshed out.

>>2402716
Could you give us a quick reason why you like their portrayal in this fic? I've yet to read it myself.
>>
>>2402711
i'm just poking fun at the fact that anon wasn't getting any replies trying to find a fic.

>>2402718
Pharah and Mercy are portrayed as actual adults, people who are older and wiser, not some teens bumbling around romance, they know what they want and they don't have the time nor energy to waste on pointless courtship.

It's a one-shot and pretty short, I highly recommend it.

I'm fine with a stoic, fair Pharah with maybe a bit naivety as a quirk. She doesn't have to be the smartest cookie or the most understanding lover. Both her and Mercy are in their 30's, it's not rare for them both to seek a little bit of stability in each other, especially with their world saving jobs and all

What more do you want from her, some crazy anime archtype?

>What more do you want from her, some crazy anime archtype?

Truth be told, I do see her as kind of a more restrained, adult manifestation of your otaku hero.

She's bought Overwatch merchandise, she's thrilled at getting the chance to square off with McCree or show off her armor to Torbjorn. Unlike Ana who sees the killing part of her job as a necessary evil, Pharah is thrilled to be in the heat of battle.

As an extension of this, I see her knowing about shit like Earthshatter, Crusader armor, tactical visor, pulse rifle specs, Death Blossom developing out of some gun-kata/CQB technique Gabe Reyes put together before Reaper decided to deviantArt it up a bit. Despite its paramilitary trappings, she's one of the few commissioned officers in the setting, which is where that earlier stuff, being surrounded by heroes that saved the world, begins being used to craft the persona she wants to project.

Metzen talks about the Captain America vibe when conceptualizing her. The hero denied her dream, that then gets another chance to fulfill it. She sees the world turn on the organization she idolized, joins a PMC, and goes to a darker place before emerging as a more capable leader. There's no "hey senpai we'll pump you full of drugs and make you a supersoldier," part, mostly because they already used that lore for 76 and Reaper. The worst thing that ever happened to her was her mother being "killed" in the line of duty, and her platoon being wiped out in a quasi-apocalyptic level event. Terrible stuff, but it frees her from a lot of baggage and personal drama besides them being all over the place with her perception of Ana.

To that end, I don't really see her as naive, more just focused to the point of myopia when in pure soldier mode, and can be unintentionally self-absorbed. I think ultimately she's like a Tracer that's more experienced, and more comfortable(but just as intolerant) with the darkness in the world. Or a more serious and restrained Reinhardt.

How do you suppose Fareeha and Angela first met? I know Fareeha often hung out with her mother at the OW headquarters, and that Angela was visiting at times, but under what circumstances did they meet?

I like to think that while fooling around, Fareeha scrapped her knee, and needed to have it checked up. Enter Angela, who:
Canon - becomes acquainted with Fareeha.
Headcanon - has Fareeha fall for her, possibly starting as a young love or crush.

I was possibly thinking of a fic where a young Fareeha would desperately try and gain Angela's affection by trying to injure herself in amusing ways (though she never actually does get injured).
>>
>>2403004

I find the idea of young Pharah boring to be quite frank. One of the main draw of Pharmercy is the fact that it's two competent adults for once.

They were surely acquainted but anything beyond a minimal flashback is unnecessary in any fic.
>>
>>2402740
>What more do you want from her, some crazy anime archtype?
Where did I say that? I said I don't like how her characterization varies wildly from one author to another.

>stoic, fair Pharah
Have you heard her in-game interactions? She's fangirling over McCree harder than McHanzo shippers. Not to mention her dorky voicelines. "I am the Rocket Queen", jeez. The only thing that depicts her as stoic is her comic, and that's because Blizzard are no more consistent in their characterization than fanfiction writers.

>>2403004
Have to agree with that >>2403050 anon, teenage romance is starting to feel pretty bland, what with the abundance of it.

>How do you suppose Fareeha and Angela first met?
Ana brought her to work and introduced her to her colleagues.
>>
>>2402693
Is Mercy really portrayed as such?
I don't generelly read fics that involve her, but I heard that the other part of the fandom, which shall not be named, brings up the questionable decisions port frequently.
>>
>>2403106
They sometimes combine both "medic who has to make questionable decisions" and "bumbling blushing moron" into one.
It's pretty bad.
>>
>>2403092
I don't think Pharah being a dork in-game is inconsistent with how her comic portrays her really. In-game banter tends to be considerably more friendly and casual. In her comic she's on-mission and in command of her squad, stoicism is a requirement there. She's more free to relax around people she isn't in charge of.

you're not wrong. iirc it also has to do with shaders and lighting differences. all the good 3d comes out of blender.


here are examples of pictures where you can tell one was made by a dude, and one probably wasn't. i can't source the second right now, but they're both pictures i actually like.

>all of the tits n' cooters out all of the time
>fluids everywhere
>vapid :o face

probably drawn by a man. another big indicator is if the girls are looking at the viewer or each other. there are obviously exceptions, like owler, but this tends to be the case.

for examples of art that is drawn by a girl i like pretend-animator, under-ignore and hitomiichi_0. i think the last ones a girl but it's asian and idk.

i'd still say both types have a place here, except for that one dva/mercy picture because it gets deleted every time it's posted.

Tumblr might be a content creator's platform of choice, but the mentality there and extreme hive mind has made it toxic. Its a spewing pile of wretched, piping hot waste left out in midday in Arizona's summer.

I didn't care for Pharmercy until the fanatics screamed and cried so much, I grew to dislike it. Likewise with Emily.

As she is, she's a flat and boring side character hardly deserving of a nod. Why people choose to expound upon her when there are interesting, conflicted characters I'll never know. My main gripe is like the rest of /u/, there is no substance to her or her relationship with Tracer. I'd fancy a good romance over a canon one any day.
>>
>>2404086
>GM Tracer main
My nightmare come true.

>She's more proof of Tracer's sexuality than a character
Pretty much this. There were numerous ways to establish that Tracer is into girls, but the only 100% no way around it one was to give her a girlfriend. Because then there's no room for "oh, she's just flirting" or "she's just quirky that way". However, that doesn't make it a good decision. Catering to the lowest common denominator will only lead to more problems for the story.

But then anyway,
>implying anybody cares about lore in an online FPS

>>2404210
>other strange headcanons that have no reason to exist besides to self insert
Ehhh. While I agree with you that some Tumblr folks use her to self-insert, stuff like "I bet Emily is a doctor" seems to me like an attempt at giving Emily something to her character. Because otherwise she's just a redhead with a questionable taste in sweaters.
>>
>>2404210
Reminds me of instances where people obsess too much about Emily and treats her as a real living person, that shit creeps me out
>>
It's times like these that I get the impression that the only reason people don't like Emily is because it invalidates their preferred ship (namely WidowTracer). And to be fair, I'd be mad, too, if my headcanon was invalidated.

Sure, Emily may be a little flat, but I'd take that over a ship that seems far less plausible.
>>
>>2404253
This
>Tracer deserves a healthy, loving relationship, why are you trying to take that away from her?

>>
>>2404262
>Emily may be a little flat

Emily is absolutely utterly flat. I'd rather she don't exist and people let me ship Tracer in peace.
>>
>>2404262
I don't care about ships being canon. In fact, knowing Blizzard, I'd rather them stay far away from romantic relationships completely. WoW romances still make me wake up screaming in the night.
I would take actual character development over any ship, canon or not.

Reflections does nothing for Tracer. Tracer goes out of her way to make someone happy? Whoa, what a surprise. Tracer considers her girlfriend and Winston her family? Again, what a surprise. The only purpose Emily serves is showing that Tracer has a girlfriend. A generic, "nice and understanding" girlfriend.

Although come to think of it, it also invalidates or at least questions the theory of Tracer going around the world helping people, as suggested by her bio/"Adventurer" occupation. So there's a reason for me to personally dislike Reflections.
>>
>>2404306
I don't think it completely invalidates it. Chu keeps refering to the apartment in Reflections as Emily's apartment, which evidences that they don't usually live together. Thr new line on Kings Row further implies this. She could have jus visited her for Christmas. The airship in KOTH maps is still hers, after all.

Even then Emily is still really boring desu. Unless they give her more screentime (which I hope they won't because there's way more heroes that need the screentime) there's no way she's not going to be completely uninteresting.
>>
>>2404327
>is still hers
Well, it was never really hers, or at least there's no evidence to it. Yes, the plane has her name on it, but that's just a thing they do (or did) in the military. It doesn't even mean that the one whose name is printed on the plane is the one to exclusively pilot it; there are more pilots than planes, obviously, so planes go around. It's just a token symbol of recognition, and some also say it kinda "humanizes" the plane, so its crew treats it with more care. Like how people sometimes treat their personal vehicles that they've had for a long time.

>which evidences that they don't usually live together
Yeah, but she still has that anchor thingy installed in her apartment, which at the very least implies Tracer visits her regularly. I preferred to think of her as of someone who is constantly on the move, traveling from one place to another, but, eh. Headcanons don't really matter, so I'm not that upset.
>>
>>2404348
It might not officially hers, but it's obvious she's the one still flying it. There's no one else in the playable roster who is known to fly a plane, and KOTH spawns show obvious sign of recent life in it. When Overwatch was disbanded anyone could have taken equipment and run away with it. Or maybe Winston's the one lending her the plane after the Recall. The point is, the scenery itself shows us we're supposed to think Lena is the one flying the plane.

By that logic, Overwatch consisted of a couple dozen agents. But Tracer isn't even the only known pilot.

>When Overwatch was disbanded anyone could have taken equipment and run away with it.
If it was OW's property, yes. But I doubt that OW was formed by a bunch of rich people who could immediately afford to buy their own transport vehicles. If OW was sponsored by someone else, like by the UN, they would want to take their equipment back.

>KOTH spawns show obvious sign of recent life in it

Games are not canon. Tracer has not been flying OW agents anywhere since OW got disbanded.

The worst thing about this is that it would be ridiculously easy to write the comic in a way that would remain faithful to Tracer's original bio, wouldn't introduce a dead-weight in form of a Emily and would still establish Tracer's sexuality.

Make Tracer help some people on the way, stop a robbery, save a puppy etc, basically show that she's still got her heroic OW habits and can't look away from people in need, even at the cost of being late. Show her arrive few hours late at some fancy place with a chick waiting for her. Tracer tries to apologize but the girl had enough of being stood up, she can't keep up with her hectic lifestyle, it's either her or this dead dream of being a hero. She gives her a goodbye kiss and leaves. Heartbroken Tracer gets a call from her bro Winston, she gets to Giblartar and cheers up. They spend the rest of the Christmas together drinking and talking about hoes.

Bam, you get two birds with one stone, lore and characterisation intact. Damn, I should be a writer.

Show Tracer fucking a girl in each city she visits. With her aviator sunglasses on.

Aw yeah, that's the stuff.

I don't think it's fair to call Emily a "flat" or "boring" character given how little we've seen of her as a whole. If we'd had like ten comics and a few animated shorts based around her and all she'd been was Tracer's lesbian girlfriend and nothing else then fine, but that's not the case. There's a difference between a character being "flat/boring" and "unexplored almost entirely" and Emily falls into the latter. That'd be like calling Doomfist a flat/boring character when he was just a name, a gauntlet and a few posters on some maps before he was officially revealed. It's not really justified when we've seen less than 5% of a characters dimensions because they're exposure is a small cameo at best.
>>
>>2404406
When you compare her character design to the rest of the Overwatch characters, Emily is 100% normal. Nothing distinguishable and/or interesting. Personality, about as interesting as a wet blanket. Introducing a new character should hook people from the get go, not bore them...
>>
>>2404440
She's not supposed to be a Hero
>>
>>2404406
That's the thing, I don't want more Emily. There are still characters in the game that don't even have a badly drawn 10-page comic to their name, let alone an animated short. I don't give a damn about a non-existent unexplored character with no personality and I don't want to learn more about her, I want Blizzard to focus on characters that actually play some kind of a role.
So no matter how this business with Emily goes, it won't be good from a lore standpoint. Either Blizzard will waste time building up a character that does nothing, they will insert her into the story to allow her some background screentime or she will forever remain a cardboard cutout that Tracer occasionally snogs.
>>
>>2404468
Regular people can be interesting, anon.

>>2404474
Problem is if she had an interesting design people would want her as a playable character
>>
>>2404479
I want Brigitte to be a playable character, but it's not like Blizzard cares.

Really sounds like people lack of creativity that can't work with an obstacle. People would rather remove Emily altogether and then go back to more stupid shit. Emily's appearance and addition to canon has not been an overall negative to content production. Christ I had hate how everyone's forgotten about fandom culture during the oughts and early days of the net. Emily isn't a problem like they try to make her out as one.

weird-ass polyamory shit

Oh man that, the worse thing coming out of this.

Every (bad) author self-inserting in Emilie to have three way with WindowTracer.

Bzarcher must be the worse of them, only poly with himself being Emilie.
>>
>>2404539
>lack of creativity that can't work with an obstacle
There is no obstacle. There is a useless character that exists for no reason other than to show that Tracer munches rug during her off-hours, a fact that could've been established without introducing someone who requires screentime she doesn't deserve to develop.

>I had hate how everyone's forgotten about fandom culture during the oughts and early days of the net
And I hate how everyone's forgotten about 64 kbps ADSL during the oughts and early days of the net. Wish we could go back to that.

>>2404693

Let's be real, the fandom would have made excuses for any kind of evidence outside of the spicy redheaded kiss scene that Tracer was just bisexual or just fooling around. Even us jaded fucks would have, we've been burned with yuribait for too long to ever accept Word of God with anything less than spit swapping.
>>
>>2404703
As I've said before, catering to idiots is not a good way to write your story. I understand we're talking about Blizzard, who thought it was a great idea to have Chris "Thundergod" Metzen write their stories, but still. She could've had the spicy redheaded kiss with some random whore she hired for one night; another side-character that didn't even get a single bit of development in her own comic wasn't necessary.
>>
>>2404608
>bzarcher is a dude

that makes it worse

>>2404711
>catering to idiots is not a good way to write your story

but it makes money and wins presidential elections. also supporting characters don't have to be developed.

she exists to characterize tracer. hence, supporting. blizzard's writing is still garbage but this is pretty normal especially given the amount of content we actually have. this isn't a 500 page /u/ novel.

also, thanks for the kudos whichever one of you went digging through the tracer/emily tag on ao3. 'preciate it.
>>
>>2404751
>she exists to characterize tracer
"Taco-whisperer" isn't a character trait, and the rest we knew already.
>>
>>2404754
Well we also learned that she's a hobo mooching of her girlfriend. So maybe once she learns that Widow is loaded she'll switch meal tickets.
>>
>>2404757
Not just loaded, but also French nobility. You don't get an extravagant crest like that by being blue and exceptionally good at craps.
>>
>>2404763
Maybe she just googled a fancy crest and put it in her castle.
>>
>>2404754
we didn't know tracer had a girlfriend. she exists so that tracer irrevocably, unequivocally has a girlfriend in canon.

and so blizzard got some nice PR asspats.

>>
>>2404440
How do you even know that Emily is any of these things? We've seen so little of her. If I walked down the street in real life and met you just to ask you for directions and all you did was give me directions and then I thanked you and we parted ways, would I be remotely justified in thinking you were a shallow, normal person with no real personality and nothing distinguishable and/or interesting?

Because that's essentially what you're doing to Emily. She's not supposed to be a hero or a major character, she's a supporting character linked to a hero that's had a small cameo at best. This is literally judging a book by its cover, because that's all we've seen of Emily.
>>
>>2404837
>one character has a supporting character in their comic
>there's no romance involved and they get enough exposition so we can assume their personality and the day-to-day relationship with the main character
>another character has a supporting character in their comic
>there is romance involved and there's no exposition other than "I like sweaters and scarves and also rugs"
It's almost like Emily only exists to be Tracer's girlfriend.
>>
>>2404840
So far, yeah.

But people have already made up their minds about the character based solely on this tiny exposure. So they're essentially labeling Emily as being bland, boring, etc. now when we could very well get another comic or animated short where she's featured more and we see more of her, but she's just automatically bland and boring still because that original tiny exposure automatically paints her character from here on out apparently.

She MUST be bland and boring and two-dimensional because she was when we only got a glimpse of her. That's the logic people are using here. It doesn't matter how deep we delve into her character, she's just already stupid and boring. Because a bunch of people who saw her in a small amount of panels towards the end of a single comic said so.
>>
>>2404837
The only thing that might have made her interesting is if she was a scientist that used to work for Overwatch and that's how he met Tracer, but alas her job is apparently something else if we are to take the "check out her apartment" comment at face value.
>>
If the comic had instead cut out the kiss and just had Emily be Tracer's sister or best friend, then nobody would be bitching about her. At all. And if anything that would remove a dimension from Emily's character and theoretically by the same "logic" make her even more bland and boring.

And yet there'd be no complaints.
>>
>>2404852
Of course not, cause fragile men would think girls like tracer are interested in them and the children in the fandom wouldn't have a threat to their ship
>>
>>2404861
You say that like only Widowtracer fans act like children in this fandom. Yet they are mostly bitching about Emily being bland while a certain other crowd bitches about Chu self-inserting as a certain someone and 'threatening' their ship. So point me to a ship in Overwatch whose fans have never acted like salty children before.
>>
>>2404852
>And yet there'd be no complaints.

have you forgotten where you are?
>>
>>2404866
I'd probably like Emily more if her sole canon appearance so far wasn't drawn so shit. If you want to sell a character you make sure they look as best as they can.
>>
>>2404864
>You say that like only Widowtracer fans act like children in this fandom.
Sorry I didn't make it more general. Yes WT isn't the only ship plagued by that downside. I'm sorry you need to feel like its worth pointing out when it's obvious to everyone. You seem to not get that the kids in the WT are feeling threatened cause by golly Tracer's in a canon relationship and that is the stop gap to end all ships. Christ I wish fandom wank was still a used term.
