Dissed Ideas #1

Overwatch Animated Shorts

The sugar bowl contains the trailer to season 3.

Basically Arthur×Mera

Love at first sight? Tired, boring.

Love at first assassination attempt? Spicy

The wind is with me! (feat. Illuminate! as assist)

I clearly miss my dissidia 012 mains sdfghjk

I thought the exact same thing to I was like...this man killed his dad to get his tech and is using music to enslave people and blackmail a village??? There is overwatch lore? Where?!

Not to be that dick, but some people in the fandom really are in denial about what Lucio has done. I keep seeing people claim we ‘don’t know that he’s evil, it’s all just rumours’ and I’m like… what? Let Lucio be evil, don’t turn him into a weepy ‘I had no choice’ villain please.

He has enslaved people.

He has blackmailed a village.

He has ripped people’s hearts out.

He did neglect his people and let them starve, let their districts flood.

He did kill his father.

He did try to kill his mother.

And those are just a few that are mentioned or shown, that I remember right now. If I go through the whole story again I’m sure I’ll find more.

Clearly I’m not saying you can’t like Lucio - hell I do - but don’t pretend like he’s some misunderstood wounded man who only looks evil because of lies.

The best argument you could make is saying he’s not malicious but rather indifferent, and that is still evil.

The Republican Party has a war on Christian babies, toddlers, and children held in their custody. They are being treated worse than terrorists.

Trump and Stephen Miller should be at the Hague.

Super happy for this, also I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees her as some sort of sorceress and i definately hope she gets a Sorceress skin next Halloween, probably as a counterpart to the witch of the wilds

Moira is the best Irish rep I’ve ever encountered

Alright hear me out. When Moira was revealed, I was super psyched to see that she was Irish, and not a stereotype whatsoever. Like, I genuinely spent a whole day practically in pure excitement because Blizzard had not only created Irish rep (a SERIOUSLY rare thing for us, aside from dopey background characters), but one who was based around true Irish culture. Rather than a drunken brute with a beer belly and wearing green all over- you know, the way media portrays us regularly- we got a character based on Genuine Irish Culture

This is PARTICULARLY prevalent in the Moon skin, which has numerous nods to Celtic culture- pagan symbols, a design mirroring common depictions of Irish deities such as the Morrigan or sorceresses such as Aoife, the wicked queen who transformed her stepchildren into Swans in the tale of the Children of Lir.

I really dig the concept of a sorceress themed Irish character with the power of genetics on her side, specifically because of the conscious effort Ireland as a country is making to have more and more science based jobs, specifically for women. It mightn’t have been intentional, but I wouldn’t be surprised!

These aside, however, there’s one thing that made me extremely happy, and ultimately left the impression that Blizzard had done a very good job with Irish representation: the fact that Moira is a Gaelgoir, or a fluent Irish speaker.

She’s got almost as many lines in English as she does as Gaeilge, in Irish. The reason this is such a big thing compared to, say, Sombra having so many Spanish voice lines is that Irish is very much so a language that’s struggling to survive and is slowly but surely dying. Ireland has a population of just under 5 million, and of those 5 million, only 70,000 people speak Irish fluently outside of the education system, and only 20,000 of those people speak it as their first language. 

By having Moira be clearly one of those 20,000, judging by how often she uses Irish- which is a hell of a lot more than anyone I’ve ever heard in my life, because we all speak English rather than Irish- Blizzard have given the Irish OW community something which means more than they could have possibly imagined- the first good piece of Irish representation that I’ve ever encountered, and for the first time ever: I feel truly represented! 

Congratulations, you’re a prophet.

I am pretty surprised there has not been a single piece of art portraying Symmetra as the Sorcerer Supreme she is
