i figured i might as well start cataloging all of the random stuff that i think up for overwatch. maybe someday i'll work these ideas into a scintillating piece of fan-created fiction! but probably not tbh.
- widowmaker has had a terrible, unrelenting crush on ana ever since they met. like 'oh no i can't believe i didn't realize i was gay until after i got married and met the most incredible woman in the world through my husband's work' level of obsession. it's also the only emotion that carried over from her pre-brainwashing life so basically any time ana is even remotely involved in something widow is one glance away from combusting due to frustration.
ana is aware of this. if you want to know why ana faked her death, 'how do i deal with this amelie issue? maybe i'll just die' is right at the top.
- lucio has a master's level understanding of music theory and is crazy good at math but he has a hard time explaining or writing out what he's doing; a lot of stuff comes to him naturally and he struggles to convey that to others with words (or mathematical equations), so he doesn't.
- sigma unironically thinks doomfist and moira are upstanding members of society based on their public personas as CEO of a cutting-edge prothestics company and Oasis' minister of science, respectively. he totally buys into doomfist's pitch about evolving humanity (akande glosses over the "through conflict" bit, ofc) and that their methods are harsh but a reasonable price to pay for scientific advancement. his feelings on the ethics of research got a bit warped after the whole "subject sigma" treatment.
(i prefer sigma being complicit in his relation with Talon rather than oblivious per his official profile. like damn if putting hyperspheres in people's heads is what you call field research you have to be at least vaguely aware that the people you're working with are Problematic.)
- sigma is a lucio fanboy. there is no way that a man born in today's amsterdam (capital of playing techno in the grocery store) wouldn't recognize a bangin' dance anthem when he hears one. the music of siebren de kupier's youth is an armin van buuren 'a state of trance' cast, he absolutely has lucio's debut album on loop while he unravels the mysteries of the universe in his lab.
i had more but i've lost the motivation to keep writing. tbf, most of my overwatch headcanons are dumb things like "who is most likely to use weed recreationally" or "what terrible EDM subgenre does each character jam to." i'm a very high-brow individual.

I know Ana is pretty easy-going but my HC is she really struggles with sadness and some hatred for Amelie. If they were to get into a romantic relationship, it would be a hurt/comfort one and wouldn’t be healthy.

IA that any relationship they'd have would be incredibly unhealthy...which is probably why I think about it so much. 🙃
