IF YOU’VE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE, I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU HONESTLY (x)

favorite damn trope in the history of ever:

monsters, or characters who view themselves as monsters, being touched and/or treated gently for the first time in their life.

Overwatch has a pile of story you should know about

Whoa oh no the Overwatch open beta is over what are we going to do now

Here’s something to keep you occupied: Overwatch has a veritable mountain of story hidden away in all the profiles, character descriptions, news releases, cinematics and everything else that’s been released. Really good story. Normally you’d be going ‘how the heck am I supposed to keep track of all of this,’ we know - which is why we’ve been piecing it all together for you

Overwatch and the Omnic Crisis - covers the formation of Overwatch and what the heck happened to make it all fall apart. Basically the foundation of Overwatch’s story.

Space Gorillas and Test Pilots - covers Winston and Tracer’s origins, and the weird possibility that apparently there’s still some kind of angry space gorilla infested moon colony up there.

Robots With Soul - WHAT THE HECK IS AN OMNIC why don’t they just call them robots what makes them different and why you should probably love Bastion even though, you know, he’s probably going to kill you a lot

Fallen Heroes - What’s up with Soldier: 76 and Reaper? What went down when Overwatch was disbanded, and why is Reaper so….reaper-y?

Junkrat and Roadhog - Weirdly even though these guys are supposedly comic relief and all that they’ve got a pretty sad backstory that says a lot about the state of the world after Overwatch fell apart

The Shimada Clan - Hanzo and Genji have a lot of beef with each other, probably because they tried to kill each other. Here’s why

Widowmaker and Talon - Who is Talon? Why are they in every Overwatch animated short? What are they up to, anyway? And who is the elusive and deadly Widowmaker?

Zarya and the second Omnic Crisis - You think the first Omnic Crisis was bad? Prepare for part two.

Symmetra and Lúcio - What’s the beef between these two? Is Symmetra a bad guy? Maybe not, but the company she’s working for is pretty shady

McCree and the Deadlock Gang - IT’S HIGH NOON and McCree’s a former outlaw who decided to be a good guy until he decided not to. Or maybe he still is

Overwatch’s ongoing story - So how does all this stuff hook together in the cinematics? Where is the story going from here? Why isn’t any of this actually in the game - and why is that potentially a good thing?

Forget Coffins! This Company Will Swirl You Into Beautiful Glass Creations When You Die

Seattle- based company Artful Ashes is helping loved ones during the grieving process by creating unique glass memorials for those who have passed away. Through the use of art glass blowing, Artful Ashes collects one tablespoon of your loved one’s ashes to include them in a glass orb and or heart. …

Welp, this is just about all I want in death.

Like, I want to be made into a beautiful glass thing.  I want to be something treasured for a long time and rarely talked about.  I want to live in the home of someone who loved me, and touched now and then in silent memory.

I want people to forget that I’m in there, I want the memory of what I am to pass out of the family’s knowledge.  I want to be given away, and put out in a thriftstore somewhere.  

I want someone to buy my ashes for $4.99 and put me in a window and love the colors.  I want to cast beautiful, fractious and curving sunlight across the wall, sparkling and glowing and shimmering, depending on the time of day.  I want someone to take a picture of me with the moon behind me, luminous and mysterious.

I want a witch to buy me and put me in her work room.  I want an artist to leave me on their worktable.  I want to inspire people and make them smile.  I want to be warm from sunlight or chilly from the cool air.  I want to be packed in newspaper carefully when they move.  I want to be given as a holiday or graduation present to someone’s kid, I want to be given as a housewarming gift as a reminder of home.

And god, then, hopefully some day, I want to roll off the table, I want that globe to crack.

And then I want to haunt the living shit out of the future.

Redid a post by fucktonofanatomyreferencesreborn with sources because they never source anything and I don’t want to reblog that post because I don’t want to support blogs who don’t give credit to people

(No, stating that the art is ~not yours~ and ~came from elsewhere~ IS NOT PROPER CREDIT. Many of these have usernames and such on them but not every single one and you still ought to link back to the specific piece)

I couldn’t source the last one so I didn’t include it.

Damaged or not, I want you.
