Brandedverse Headcannons
(( @branded-rose is responsible for these lovely pieces of art, and I wanted to thank for inspiring me to make these couple of headcannons! I know it's been awhile, but I hope this makes up for it, and I hope you enjoy!))
Alexstrasza:
Her name is Alex
She's 9
American
She is driven by emotion
A flaming fireball of emotion
Pyromaniac
Loves fantasy stories, especially ones of dragons
Show her a horror movie and be prepared for nightmares for a month
Needs a nightlight
Her teeth needed braces, she was not happy she couldn't enjoy certain foods.
Loves to play rough, and get dirty
Get ready for tantrums
Loves to be cuddled
Lives to be shown affection
Hugs are best
Starts AND finishes fights
Won't harm a single animal
Very imaginative
You kiss her on the head, she will squeal with joy!
Gets angry at herself when she sees other peoples art, and knows that it's better than her's.
Doesn't like to be seen crying, always cries silently. You are the only one to see her cry.
HATES to be pitied.
If she messes up, the guilt will EAT HER ALIVE.
Once tackled a football player because he said she couldn't join cause she was a prissy girl.
She beat up a bully for making fun of, and putting gum, in her hair. Kid's nose was bleeding.
She pushes you too far with her tantrum, you snap, she is sent to her room after being screamed at. Comes back in an hour, holding a homemade card. You read her apology letter, she is crying quietly, she asks if you hate her, you tell her no and that you love her, you hug it out, the two of you watch TV for awhile.
She always tells you "I love you" before she goes to sleep.
Ameile:
Meet Ameile Guillard

Actively keeps up good hygene
Very smart
Fully accepts affection from her family
Doesn't trust anyone
Actively gets bullied
She loves to help in the kitchen
Her smiles are rare, but are a sight to behold
You once gave her a signed autograph of Leonard Nemoy, you have never seen her so happy before or after that. She hugged you so much, you thought she was going to hold you forever!
Trekkie for life
Likes star wars, but it's just not her thing
Her favorite character was Darth Vader
When introduced to the other Star Trek series, she still had a soft spot for Spock.
Her other favorite characters are Piccard, Janeway, Sisko, 7 of 9, Data, & any Vulkan characters
She had a crush on someone at school, but was rejected harshly.
She comes home, bruised from head to toe with a tears being held back. You clean her up and have her sit on the couch. You put on her favorite episode of star trek and leave for the kitchen. You return with a fresh batch of cookies and milk for her. She eats and drinks, while you cuddle up to her.
Whenever she sees you sad, lonely, or just plain miserable, she tries her best to cheer you up anyway possible.
Amélie: How do I even have a child, let alone with you??? Gérard: A better question is, are you actually going to take responsibility for raising your daughter and stop this pointless campaign of murder??? Amélie: I-I...Gérard? *looks at Colette * Baby? *in reality* Doomfist: *into hidden microphone* We’re going to have to abort the mission. Lacroix is beginning to hallucinate.

Overwatch & Scale (Height References/Headcanons)
Hello everyone, not Branded-Rose here...and by not Branded-Rose I really mean The-Red-Thunder!
You may all be confused as to why I’m on Branded-Rose’s account but I can assure you that there’s a good reason. After all, I’m sort of the scribe/information keeper when it comes Branded-Rose’s headcanons and what not.
...but that’s beside the point.
It’s come to my attention that there are many glaring inconsistencies when it comes to the scaling of the Overwatch heroes, and as a former Transformers fan, these sorts of issues drive me up the wall, something both Rosie & I agree on. For example...
...the Overwatch Anniversary title screen has many characters out of scale, the most glaring ones being Soldier: 76, Reaper, Moira, Orisa, Reinhardt & Doomfist. Reaper & Soldier: 76 are both 6’1" yet they’re both taller than Zarya (6’5") & Moira (Estimated 6’5" as well). Not to mention, Soldier: 76 is almost as tall as Doomfist & Roadhog who are both 7’1" & 7’3" accordingly. I also noticed that Widowmaker (5’9") is either unusually gigantic or that Symmetra (5’7") is unusually short. They’re both wearing heels that are about the same size and yet Widowmaker has a sizeable height advantage. Heck, Widowmaker only has one inch on Hanzo (5’8") and she eclipses him in height (this may be the heels again but there are still scaling issues). Also pointing back to Reaper & Soldier: 76 again, McCree is also touted as being 6’1"…so why is he shorter than them? These heroes are going through more size changing and scale issues than a Generation 1 Transformers cartoon.
With that said, I’m going to gather and try my best to give you guys the correct scaling for Overwatch heroes within the Brandedverse, sounds good? Mind you guys, some of these numbers are estimations and others are the official height given by Blizzard.

I don’t know if this is majorly accurate but this is what I have for all of the characters of Overwatch based on the data that I’ve gathered so far throughout the lore. * - Denotes an estimation due to no official reference. [1] - There’s a picture of Genji & Hanzo standing together in Nepal that shows they are the same height. However, Genji’s model has been measured to be 5′9″ so it could be assumed that Genji gained an inch due to his prosthetics. [2] - Pharah’s height on her reference kit states that she’s 5′11″. However, when viewing her model in-game she seems to be of similar size to McCree, Reaper, & Soldier: 76. Thus, it could be assumed that Pharah is actually 5′11″ when out of her armor and that her armor adds two inches to her height. [3] - Reinhardt’s height and general size vary wildly depending on what medium is being used. There are times where he’s 9 feet tall and there are times where he’s accurate to his reference kit. However, based on Reinhardt’s appearance in Honor and Glory, Reinhardt actually gains a tremendous amount of height and bulk while wearing his Crusader armor, a fact made evident that Reinhardt out of armor is the same height as the Crusader armor when it’s in a seated position. [4] - Brigitte doesn’t have a reference kit, but considering that she most likely modeled her armor with Reinhardt’s Crusader armor as a reference, I can assume that her armor gives her a slight increase in height, being around the same height as McCree, Reaper, & Soldier: 76. Now with all the said and done, I shall retreat back into my corner. I hope you guys found this information interesting. See you guys on the next Red-Thunder Report...(If we’re actually calling these that now).
Teen Alexstrasza Headcanons:
((The art belongs respectively to @branded-rose. There will be a few changes to her name and where she came from, but other than that it should still be the same little Allie! To the artist, this work is amazing, and I’m very honored to be of help with you and your boyfriends AU. As always, I hope you enjoy!))
Her name: Alexstrasza Galdursdóttir
Nickname: Alex, Alllie, Red, Fireball
She’s 16
Icelandic
Lives in America
Old enough to work and drive, but still an emotionally driven kid.
Will lose her shit if you tell her she can’t go out.
Pyromaniac
Still lives to be cuddled tho
LOVES to show off!
Enjoys being the center of attention
You may catch her reading/watching something from the fantasy genre
Favorite movies include the Lord of the Rings franchise and Dragonheart
Will refuse to sleep if a scary movie is too much for her
Will kick your ass
Terrible at lies
Socially an expert
Academically screwed
A girl got too touchy, and she knocked her block off!
Give her chocolate, and you have a friend.
Relationship with meat: complicated.
Loves meat, but loves animals too.
;-:
Scares her teachers
She constantly will ask if she can redo an assignment if her grade is too low.
Will cheat on tests that she had not prepared for
Has successfully watched a LotR marathon, unfortunately it had left her completely sleep deprived.
Will still hide away if she is about to cry.
Had a huge crush on Aragorn.
When a group of generic cheerleader bitches bullied Ysera for being sleepy and meek, Allie did what any good sister would do: Proceeded to kick their collective asses and dumped them into a trash can.
Terrifying when pissed.
When depressed, she will cover herself in blankets and lay in her bed for a long time.
Is very athletic. Runs track and such.
When that time of the month comes... run
No joke, you will probably die
Proud of Scandinavian heritage
Works as a waitress at a resturant
Her patience is almost nonexistent
You catch her in her room, silently sobbing. You see her with a F on her recent test. She had studied nonstop for this test for weeks on end for this one. She calls herself stupid repeatedly, doubting that she’ll ever graduate. You move the test to the side, and bring her to the living room. Give her her favorite food and drink, put on dragonheart, snuggle up close to the sad Allie with the help of Ysera, and watch the movie. She feels better by the end.
Do you have any fluffy headcanons/moments between Amélie and Gérard when she's pregnant? Is Gérard super protective over Amélie during this time?
It’s a pleasure to see you here my friend and to answer your question, indeed I do have some headcanons for Pregnant!Amélie and her darling husband Gérard!Gérard is very diligent when it comes to taking care of his pregnant wife, making sure she doesn’t over-exert herself and pampering her to her heart’s content (much to Amélie’s delight because she’s a fairly lazy pregnant woman, akin to a cat). If she asks him to get her anything, he will go and retrieve it, regardless of the time of day and his energy levels.On another note, Amélie doesn’t actually let anyone outside of Gérard touch or rub her stomach, even her own father (unless he asks her and even then, it’s more reluctant than willing).Amélie also likes feeling her children moving around in her womb as it gives her reassurance that her babies are healthy and okay.Also, depending on which child is in Amélie’s womb (either Colette or Claude) determines what food she craves.In the case of Colette, she had an odd craving for American burgers and BBQ to the point where she pestered Gérard to get McCree to fire up his grill. Meanwhile, Claude causes Amélie to desire bread, which in turn causes her to pester Gérard to bake for her.All in all, Amélie is treated like a queen during her pregnancies and it’s not uncommon to find her lounging on her living room sofa while Gérard slowly rubs her stomach.Thank you for asking this great question and please don’t be afraid to ask more in the future!
Hi, sorry in advance if this is a dumb question, but what are the differences between your Rescued AU and your Atonement AU? Is Gérard still alive in the Atonement AU? 'Hope I'm not wasting your time.
An ask is NEVER a waste of time. :D I love interacting and answering questions. (I’m currently working on a timeline that better displays the differences, but it’s taking forever to get done. So this will work for now. XD) Hopefully you can follow my train of thought…
First and foremost, both AUs have the same timeline up until Amélie is kidnapped by Talon. That’s where things split and majorly differ between the two AUs.
Rescued AU:
-Amélie is rescued before Talon can do any significant brainwashing to her. Because of this Gérard never dies. -Because Widowmaker is never “born” Ana’s eye isn’t shot out. -Sombra hangs out more in the Americas because she doesn’t have Amélie’s chateau to crash in after her base of operations is discovered by Zarya. -Jesse McCree doesn’t have as big a bounty, if he even has a bounty at all due to his smaller amount of time being a vigilante after leaving Overwatch. Instead he spends a great deal of time in France with the Lacroixs. -And the biggest difference from canon is Amélie and Gérard make babies. XD
Atonement AU:
-A more canon take of events. As such pretty much all the canon events such as Soldier 76 and Reaper “dying” remain unchanged. -Widowmaker is not rescued before Talon can brainwash her and Gérard is killed in his sleep two weeks following her return. -Ana’s eye is shot out as a result of Widowmaker being created. This leads to Reinhardt’s forced retirement. -Sombra relocates to Widowmaker’s chateau after Zarya finds her base of operations out.
There is a LOT more that happens behind the scenes with OCs and other characters that cause the AUs to differ. But these are just the main highlights that separate them. :3
Hopefully it all makes sense. Thank you so much for your question and have a wonderful day/night/morning! :D
How likely is it that once Amélie goes back to being a ballerina in the Rescued AU, Gérard will then try to attend all her performances to see his lovely wife at her most graceful? If Gérard does go to see Amélie dance, I can easily picture him, after the end of the performance, being a complete romantic and each time surprising her backstage with a bouquet and telling her how beautiful she was on stage.
Amélie does return to a normal life, yes. However, she does not return to being a ballerina. Her professional career as a ballerina ends the moment Talon takes her. Shortly after her rescue she gets pregnant with Colette, so she doesn’t actually ever go back to being a professional. She does occasionally do some ballet every now and then but is never employed.
However, if she did Gérard would TOTALLY go to each performance and bring her flowers. He is a helpless romantic through and through. ;D He did that a lot before she was kidnapped. Did everything in his power to be at his performances, because he is VERY proud of her.
Thank you so much for the question/incite! Have a wonderful day/night/morning! :D
