indie & private minister moira o'deorain of overwatch 1 & 2. written by anthony. 21+ only. carrd.

heavy trigger warnings: human experimentation. implied suicide. self harm. implied animal testing. body horror. drug use. alcoholism.

MOIRA IS A LESBIAN. I will not ship her with men, or entertain the idea of her having feelings for men. while it's fine if you want your character to have feelings for her, she has zero interest in cis or trans men, or mostly masc enby people, period.

on a similar note. moira is gender queer, and uses she / it. not they, and using they for moira because you are uncomfortable with it/its is misgendering.

21 PLUS ONLY. THE CONTENT ON THIS BLOG WILL BE DISTURBING. moira is a geneticist, and with that comes an inherent level of disturbing content relating to ethics and morals. she experiments on herself, she experiments on others, she experiments on animals, even. mentions of this will happen. other disturbing content includes alcoholism, drug use, ableism towards autistic people ( not related to her being a geneticist, but rather, how she is/was treated as an autistic queer in stem ), body horror from the experiments she has done to herself, suicide implied with it, and heavy self harm from it.

all triggers will be tagged. and i have nothing i need tagged, however, rape/incest is not something i'm very keen on discussing at all.

THIS BLOG WILL BE CANON DIVERGENT. why? because we have scraps on moira's story that barely add up, and i know damn well the moment i make any headcanons, blizzard with drop a lore nuke on my head despite it having been years of scraps. and to put it gently, some people have some very odd, at best, interpretations of canon i have no desire to entertain.

LIKELY LOW ACTIVITY. i'm sadly an adult with responsibilities outside of tumblr, and severe ADHD. i dislike it too.

DRAMA. i've been on tumblr for over 10 years. there is no drama you can drop on me that will phase me. just message me if there's any problems or if somebody is nasty. racism, transphobia, homophobia, incest, etc. are not tolerated and are an instant block. communication is key.

OTHER. my name is anthony, but i go by tony usually. i am a 28 year old mixed white / anishinaabe trans masc. he/it pronouns. discord is open to any mutuals @ absouled and i am happy to plot and world build.

WHY THAT SONG CHOICE? because of this specific comment:

"This sound sounds like how I imagine it feels to drown. Drown in water, drown in grief, drown in hopelessness, drown in anxiety. And it's amazing. I've never heard another song that makes me feel this exact way. When I say drown, I specifically mean drowning yourself. Maybe in work, grief, or water. That hopeless feeling that all the pain you're experiencing is your fault, and if you just let go of that last breath of air, you can finally be at peace."

the real proof moira was raised in a catholic household is the belief that suffering is Good and in this essay--

[aglobhadh]

"i fear i am no longer acting within the disciplines of science. but when science fails, ritural begins. father, forgive me, for i know not what i do."

insane quote for a video of a guy experimenting on a bug. extremely moira coded.

i wish more voice lines and interactions included how playful moira is. because she is, like her little "come now doctor, i was only hoping to lend a hand." line w/ mei. like. she's just the most unfortunate case of flat affect because despite her tone -- or lack of tone -- she is very playful and teasing.

i also find it interesting she's willing to work with mei. to the point she offers to help her completely unprompted, despite her being overwat.ch. that + her "we share an enemy / overwat.ch? / no, mortality" line with ram? i don't think she inherently views them as an enemy, even though she's talon, and even after all they've done to her.

moira is way more neutral than she's given credit for. she's intense, for sure, and a little (very) fucked up morally, but she isn't malicious or hateful. she's just... gestures. whatever the fuck this is.

@espercr got me the overwatch cookbook and the moira recipes are such good lil lore dumps like

what a bunch of little gems hidden away in this cookbook

“How can you not be angry?”

“I am angry,” the werewolf said. “But unlike you, I don’t have the luxury of showing it without being called a monster. Without someone taking it as a sign of proof that I need to be put down like a rabid dog, that I’m just like what the stories tell you.” 

“But everyone gets angry…that’s human.”

“Up until the point when you’re not human.”

the only good thing about the gen ai bullshit is now i no longer stress if my writing is good or not. no matter how garbage the writing i put out is, its inherently above like 80% of people just because its authentic human made slop. same with all my art. it no longer matters if its bad. i am inherently above the majority just because i bothered to pick up a pencil at all. literally every person in the arts doing it without any ai is.

[russianblush]

no ai usage over here. you’re gonna get my shitty authentic writing whether you like it or not

[pukicho]

i been told i should beware asking you anything since you bite people, is that true?

There's a strange frenzy in my head, of birds flying, each particle circulating on its own. Is the one I love everywhere?

sorry for curling up at your feet and whimpering like an injured dog that wasn't very mysterious of me

[aglobhadh]

starting a collection i'm calling moira fb memes. which are just pictures she'd share on fb

[aglobhadh]

after 11 years, they finally buried my childhood best friend, and to say it feels strange is an understatement

i do still find it super funny how moira just does not give a singular fuck that hazard and the phreaks stole from her. like she surely has to have some connection to them to be so blasé about it. there's no way she, after having canonically lost everything twice mind you (w/ overwatch getting her fired, then hiring her and having blackwatch throw her aside), she would not be distraught as hell if not knowing it was going to happen.

not that lore wise it will ever be explored bc she's just there to further everybody else's story lmao

[aglobhadh]

getting hit with the desire to write when i'm not home and didn't bring my laptop is actually evil work from my brain bro

[aglobhadh]

something about moiras healing/support coming from taking, be it others or herself, to give to those close to her, is telling. same with her talon work being hoarded away for her to focus on... of course, the two in talon she is closest to. it's both a very selfish and selfless care.

that fear of death, watching entire cities be wiped off the earth, it's really clear it scarred her in ways that will never be healed. and i think it shows the most in how she is both so incredibly selfish and ruthless, yet cares so deeply and will stop at nothing to save lives. even to the point she is killing herself. even to the point she will kill others.

i also don't think her fear of death is based on herself dying, but, everyone around her. and it's why she's so willing to martyr herself, use her own body as a test subject, and go on the front lines even though she had/has no combat experience. idk i'm high as shit bro
