Illari Relationship Headcanons

NSFW under the cut.

Approaching a relationship with Illari was difficult. She was pretty closed off when she arrived to help Overwatch, but you were persistent about becoming her friend.

You ask her out once, but when Illari tells you that she's not sure, you drop it. A couple months later, Illari brings it up again and tells you that if she hasn't missed her chance, she'd like to go out with you.

Illari pretends to be annoyed about a lot more than she actually is. You know she has her moments of being broody, but after a while, a lot of that ends up just being performative too.

She doesn't talk about her home often, but there are always tells when she misses it. Most of the time it's making food from her childhood because that's the easiest way for her to experience and share those memories.

Illari is the little spoon, and not just because she's small. She held you very awkwardly, but always melted into your embrace, so it was easier to just spoon her.

You don't go out as much because Illari prefers to stay inside, but you love indoor dates. It's kind of mean, but you love making her do giant puzzles because she gets frustrated and pouty every single time.

Illari never pouts for long because you're always kissing it off of her lips. You're pretty sure she figured this out and pouts just for kisses, but you don't mind.

When you get more serious, you push for Illari to talk to someone about her trauma more. It makes for a couple of heated arguments, but Illari does slowly begin to realize you're only pushing because you're worried about her.

Illari is very open about wanting to take things slow. She's not sure which makes her more nervous, the idea of having sex with you or accidentally pushing you away by making you wait.

There are a lot of heated makeout sessions that almost turn into something more before Illari finally just tells you that she can't wait to touch you anymore.

She prefers to top because the idea of losing control terrifies her. She leveled her home once and couldn't bear to accidentally hurt you.

Illari is a quick learner when it comes to sex. She is so attentive and strives to make you feel as good as possible.

It's a while before she lets you touch her, but when she does, you're sure to be as slow and gentle as possible. Illari is definitely kind of awkward about it still, but you're careful to show her how patient she is.

Your favorite kinds of nights spent together are the ones where you're just kind of lazily touching each other and exploring one another's bodies.

Illari likes a bit of space after sex. She'll come cuddle with you if you want, but she needs a couple minutes to herself first. Illari is always sure to tell you that she'll be right back when she goes off.

Support Girls & preference headcanons (NSFW)

This is a continuation of this post here, where I was asked if the ovw girls were submissive, dominant or switches. These are the support girls' ones, and I've put them under the cut due to nsfw discussion and the fact that I ramble like there's no tomorrow (please don't read if you're under 18+, thank you)

[ dps & tank are linked here if you'd prefer theirs ] 

Ana Amari: Ana's old school, and enjoys submissive sex with missionary that's very passionate. She used to love dominating when she was younger, with it being her main preference for years as a young adult. Now, though, she has no energy for it and likes to be pleasured in a sweet and loving way (when she does have the sex drive for it at least).

Brigitte Lindholm: Brigitte's a switch with a dominant lean - she prefers to dominate in a similar way to JQ where she's a power bottom, controlling the sex and leading her partner even when she's being pleasured. It's something she'll always enjoy and she especially has a kink for overstimulation on her partner. Brigitte loves to keep going and make their head spin from the pain and pleasure, and to watch them ontop of her with no control over what she's doing to them. If she's tired, or exhausted mentally, she likes to be pleasured and likes to go through the motions of sex to bring herself closer to her partner spiritually.

Illari Quispe Ruiz: Illari's submissive when she has the drive for sex, and likes passionate sex that's about showing love (so essentially love making). She doesn't enjoy rough sex as much as she thought she would, but she's still happy to have sex with some aspects as long as it's nothing extreme (i.e praise or dirty talk). Illari likes feeling closer to her partner, and has a kink for leg locking. She likes mutual masturbation as well, especially if she isn't in the mood for sex.

Kiriko Kamori: Kiriko's preference during sex is switch - she's happy to do what her partner's feeling, and she rarely has a specific lean. For her, she just wants to have sex and to orgasm, so she's not entirely fussed which way she wants to go. However, when she does know what way she's leaning, she likes to dominate through degradation and sensory play, and likes to submit through bondage and toys.

Angela Ziegler / Mercy: Angela likes to submit during sex, but especially foreplay. She likes to have her control removed and likes to feel she's loved and valued as much as she values others, with her pleasure coming first during sex. It's not often that she'll dominate, with the most she will do being riding or cowgirl. It's something she's willing to explore, but she doesn't naturally feel the dominant lean unless she's frustrated with something and needs to use sex to get her anger out.

Moira O'Deorian: Moira's of course a dominant woman, and she rarely likes to submit. She likes to be in control, watching her partner shake with pleasure from her actions and her words, and likes for her partner to know that they're owned completely by her. It's something she really enjoys sexually, and she rarely feels the desire to submit. Her biggest kink/turn on is tying her partner up and leaving them with too little pleasure while she works on something. Moira likes ignoring her partner until they're at their brink, begging for her.

Supports & Guilty Pleasure Headcanons Sort of the same vibes as the bad habits and ‘home’ hcs i did a couple posts back, but with guilty pleasures instead! My asks are open and if you have any opinions, thoughts or suggestions I'm all ears c: they're under the cut & enjoy!

Ana Amari: Ana's definitely the type of woman who knows all the gossip, reads tabloid magazines, and is already aware of drama unfolding in the celebrity world before you do. It's her favourite thing, and she likes to feel detached from her life through the lives of celebrities.

Jean-Baptiste Augustin: You can't tell me Baptiste doesn't eat up reality tv shows where all the contestants are conventionally attractive, and they're trying so hard not to eat each other's faces constantly (Love Island, Too Hot To Handle, etc). It's his favourite thing to watch when he needs something to numb his mind, and is something he rarely shares with his co-workers out of embarrassment over how invested he gets into them.

Brigitte Lindholm: With Brigitte, she has a good grasp on her impulsivity and has an astounding level of self control. She's disciplined and she's careful with her food, especially if it's not a cheat day. However, she's not one to stray from snacking late at night. Angela's seen her standing in her PJs eating cheese out the bag at the fridge, and it's something she will never live down. When asked, she'll simply tell you she's listening to her body and she can't control when she's hungry (in a joking way). It was something she especially did growing up, as Torbjorn will tell you anytime the topic is brought up.

Illari Quispe Ruiz: For Illari, I can imagine her best and most fulfilling guilty pleasure is sleeping in. She works herself to death, with most of her nights being cut short due to the work she has to finish ASAP. She prioritises her work over her health more often than not, so she rewards herself with a decent lie in every once in a while. Because of how sleep deprived she'd be though, she would end up sleeping 15hrs straight, waking up to a whole new level of drama unfolding at HQ.

Kiriko Kamori: Guilty pleasures are something Kiriko used to struggle with - she's had every one you can think of at least at one point in her life. Currently, it's shopping online for non-essentials. She's had several apps and websites blocked from being accessed due to how much she was spending on items. They weren't even for herself most of the time; if she saw something that reminded her of a co-worker in Overwatch, or knew they were wanting something of a specific nature, it would already be bought and getting prepared before they can consider getting it for themselves. It's sweet, but also makes her bank account shiver every time she gets paid.

Niran Pruksamanee / Lifeweaver: Daydreaming is one of Niran's worst guilty pleasures in the sense that you'll catch him doing so at least once a day. He loves exploring his imagination, and loves to let himself get drifted off into his daydreams when he's supposed to be focused on something else. When he was in Uni, he was often questioned by his roommates about if he had MDD (maladaptive daydreaming disorder), because of how often he would be found daydreaming without a concern for the real world. He didn't but it made him self conscious about his daydreaming, so he rarely talks about them and when he does daydream, it's usually in private or where people won't notice he is.

Lúcio Correia Dos Santos: Lucio loves to sing in the shower - it's something he's always done and it helps him enjoy something mundane in his routine. However, when he does it's extremely loud, and he usually has a speaker that's way too loud and echoes throughout HQ. He's been warned about it before, but he doesn't see the harm in it.

Angela Ziegler / Mercy: When it comes to guilty pleasures, she tries not to indulge in them and have some restraint when it comes to habits. However, she admittedly loves desserts and will often eat desserts first or as a main meal of the day instead of savouring them last. It's something she'll never change, and if you try to tell her otherwise she'll purposely eat dessert first for a week straight just to agitate you (in a light-hearted way).

Moira O'Deorian: When Moira's not working, she can be often found in loungewear, planted on the sofa of Talon HQ, watching a nostalgic show she used to love as a teen or young adult. She hogs the tv, and is surrounded by snacks when she watches them. She loves the nostalgia, and it's a form of escape from work and the physical stress on her body from her experiments. It's the best way for her to unwind, in her opinion, and she encourages people to join her (even though she's taking up 90% of the sofa, and they'd have to sit on the floor to watch with her).

Tekhartha Zenyatta: Zenyatta's main guilty pleasure that he would talk about is watching cute animal videos on youtube or facebook. He enjoys the comfort in the innocence of the animals, and he'll go in depth on how it's cleansing for the soul, it's nourishing for the mind, things of that nature. He enjoys the time spent relaxing, enjoying something that's not negative or necessarily pointed in a certain way (like political, for example).

[ovwechoes]

Sleepless Nights & Supports (Headcanons) I can't sleep and my head's focused on writing, so I'm taking it as an opportunity to talk about what the supports would do if they couldn't sleep, and how that would affect them. My asks are open, and requests are welcome!

Ana Amari: Ana struggles a lot with sleeping, and always has. It's her kryptonite, and it's something she's become accustomed to. If she doesn't simply give into the lack of sleep and carry on with her day as though she had a restful night, Ana will often be found doing household chores. Things like laundry, cleaning, sorting her junk drawer, tasks of that nature help her to unwind and get back to sleep when she knows she needs it. Ana's the type of person who usually can cope for the day with any amount of sleep, though, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't complain to anyone who asked about her night about it. She's not groggy, just whiny when she's tired.

Jean-Baptiste Augustin: Baptiste can be inpatient when he can't sleep - he doesn't fathom how it could take longer than 10 minutes to fall asleep, even when Angela's explained this to him. It's hard for him to be patient and give his body the time it needs to get to sleep, so often he'll rush the process by having alcohol before bed. His favourite is red wine, often enjoying a glass or so if he can't sleep that night. However, Baptiste has a bad habit of drinking too much out of frustration for not being able to sleep, resulting in awful hangovers that require IV drips from Angela for the mission that day. He's not the type to be restless, but Baptiste's not really able to sleep when he has a lot on his mind, or when his past is lurking in the corners of his thoughts.

Brigitte Lindholm: Brigitte's one of the lucky few who can sleep anywhere, anytime with very little needed to get her to sleep. She flaunts it from time to time, bragging about how she can get to sleep very easily, and can get as much sleep as she wants no matter what. However, when she is restless and unable to relax her body and mind to sleep, Brigitte can be found doing very straining tasks, forcing herself into an exhausted state and resulting in an episode of hypersomnia. You'll find her in the gym, relentlessly exercising until she can barely think nor stand fully without feeling as though her body's going to collapse into itself. Brigitte's been scolded many times by Angela and her teammates, often being told that she doesn't need to do this to tire herself out, but she won't listen. It's the fastest, most efficient way for her to go to sleep and her pride won't let her admit that it's not the healthiest thing to do.

Illari Quispe Ruize: Like Ana, Illari is accustomed to lack of sleep and has found ways to cope throughout the day when she's gotten next to no sleep. It's something common for her, and she doesn't tend to force herself to do anything to get back to sleep or make it more comfortable. She's tried everything - drugstore sleep meds, magnesium glycinate, lavender pillow sprays, everything she possibly can. It's never helped, though, and for years she took this as something she'd have to live with. Illari viewed it as her personal punishment, so until she met Angela and was prescribed PRN medication to help with her sleep, she never did anything about it. Now, she takes diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and can act as a sleep aid, needed only for the moments when she desperately can't sleep. It took Illari a while to actually use them, and she feels silly knowing she didn't for so long with how effective they can be for her. It's something she's thankful to Angela for, and understands now the importance of getting proper sleep.

Kiriko Kamori: Kiriko doesn't struggle with her sleep as much as she used to, often finding her vigilante activities drain her quickly. However, if she's pushed herself too far and can't go back to sleep, you'll find her doing mindless activities like nonograms and sudoku, tiring her mind out until she has to give into the sleep. It's something she's always done to help relax her, and now it's used as her own personal sleep medication. Kiriko's the type of person who sometimes works herself to death, forgetting to eat or sleep because of the importance of her work and her role in the events coming up. So, when she is restless and can't fall asleep, she's usually at the end of her rope and becomes very agitated easily.

Niran Pruksamanee / Lifeweaver: You can't tell me that Niran hasn't dabbled in weed before, especially with his sleep. Niran's the type to find herbal supplements to help with his sleep, starting with CBD before using edibles and carts to help him relax and numb his mind. His restlessness comes from his imagination, and his need to improve the world around him. He'll be kept up with countless thoughts and ideas about what he could create or implement to better the Earth's environment, and it keeps him up well into the early hours of the morning if he doesn't do something to quiet his mind and shut out the thoughts for some time. It's something he doesn't like to talk about much, not wanting the opinions of others to be pushed on him unwanted, but he's always open to share with other people and get high with his colleagues if they're experienced with it too. When he is extremely tired though, he can be non-verbal, struggling to speak properly and he struggles with moving or doing things that aren't minute or necessities.

Lúcio Correia Dos Santos: Lucio's the type of person who, if they could tell they're gonna have a restless night, would have a warm cup of decaf tea, have a bubble bath with lavender scents, and would set their room up to be extremely warm so that he can encourage his body naturally to ease into sleep easier. He's used to noise and business, and often finds it comforting to sleep to because of his upbringing in the Favela, so he enjoys playing a movie or a tv show in the background of his room whilst he rests. Lucio won't be watching it, just simply using it as though it's music to settle his mind down and rest to. He's definitely the type of kid who would wake up to the scooby doo movie end credit screen that's been playing for hours on the DVD player.

Angela Ziegler / Mercy: Angela has every remedy for insomnia known to man, and has tried every single one. I like to imagine she has a spreadsheet for what kind of restlessness she's experiencing (in terms of what's causing it) to help her decide what she's going to do that night. Stuck in the past? Mindfulness journal. Aches or illness causing insomnia? Relevant flu and cold medicine to help cure her ills, alongside pain killers. Simply unable to rest her mind? Diphenhydramine will do the trick if magnesium glycinate isn't touching the sides. She's tried everything, and often rarely will have a restless night that isn't easily cured. Angela will always help those around her too with their own sleep quality, often sharing her spreadsheets for those who need/want them. However, when she can't sleep no matter what she tries, she's a pain to work with as she's groggy and snappier than usual, not tolerating any of the jokes thrown her way from her co-workers no matter who they are.

Moira O'Deorian: Moira doesn't struggle with her sleep anymore, as she's the type to prioritise it to the point where her rigorous routine tires her out to exhaustion. Sometimes, she'll have sleepless nights simply because she's working or there's construction going on wherever she's sleeping and so she can't fall asleep. The only things that really keep her up without her consent is noise, and she detests anyone that would interrupt vital time to rest her mind for the next day's research. She complained for months when Akande brought in a construction crew to redo his own bedroom, and wouldn't stop throwing daggers his way with her stares and glares. It got to the point that Sombra bought her a white noise machine, and encouraged her to try it through her refusals and rebuttals about the worthiness of such a small device. When she did though, it helped her more than she expected and now it's become an integral part of her night time routine. Moira's unapologetic about the noise as well, often claiming that if they don't like it, then they shouldn't be okay with construction for months at a time all day and night.

Illari x kiriko fluff hcs? I can see kiriko naturally being really affection to illari. But illari struggling to show it back. I need more moments of these two being cute together🙏

SunShrine / Illari x Kiriko Headcanons (SFW) Hiya! I have other posts with more headcanons about them, all more specific with questions. which can be found here and here - BUT I love them as a ship and agree with you completely, so I'm taking this as a chance to ramble more about them. I hope you enjoy them and they're under the cut, enjoy! (there's no questions with this post)

Illari and Kiriko are the two people you'd never expect to actually start dating, specifically because Illari comes off as though she'd never let someone into her heart like that. But, Kiriko's the one who broke down her walls and showed her that people can be good for you and wont be taken away from you unfairly. It was unexpected, but also long overdue when they finally made things official.

You could smell the pining between the two of them from a MILE away. They'd be the type to stare at each other from across the room, ignoring everything going on around them.

Illari, if she was asked by a friend about it, would say it's nothing and she's just keeping an eye on a possible enemy. She'll say and do anything to play off that she was interested in Kiriko before they became friends, denying it because it's not what she expected for herself.

Kiriko, on the other hand, wouldn't have shame with admitting she finds Illari interesting and pleasing to look at - she wouldn't deny it, and would talk to her friends about the gold streaks in her hair or how her eyes are so mesmerising, it honestly made them think that Kiriko was lovestruck.

I like to think of Kiriko and Illari being like the two houses of Montague with their organisations and works - they're meant to be against each other, not supposed to have as close of a bond with each other, and are supposed to hate one another. However, it's like fate crossed them and they couldn't resist the connection between them, wanting to be friends and explore their shared life experiences with someone who finally gets it.

Honestly, Illari's like a guard dog for Kiriko - she feels a strong need to protect her, guard her with her life and make sure that anyone who tries to hurt her will be bitten on the hand with aggression unlike any other. She's too scared of losing the one person who understands her grief and loss, not wanting to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime connection with Kiriko,

Kiriko, on the other hand, is the reminder to Illari that life gets better. She serves as a gentle way to reassure Illari that grief won't always follow her, no matter what happens and how much harm Illari does to try and cover the pain in her heart. It's something Kiriko's had happen with herself, and she's seen the path Illari's been on in herself too, so she wants to show her partner that things get better and with the right support, you can undo the cycle of grief and trauma.

They're definitely the couple that gives one another the most obscure clues in games like Hues and Clues, trying to cheat each other out of the win. When it comes to trivia games, they'd both lie about the correct answers just to get a rile out of them.

You can't tell me that behind closed doors, Illari doesn't do the most loving but also heart-wrenching pranks on Kiriko just to see the way she goes from shock to annoyance to ‘aw thats sweet of my usually nonchalant gf’.

Like, for example, Illari will tell Kiriko that her favourite celeb died and that they should have a party to mourn their loss - she can be so convincing with it that Kiriko believes it, not wanting to question her usually serious girlfriend but it just leads to her falling into the trap. Illari doesn't take it too far, but definitely relishes in messing around with Kiriko in ways like that.

Recommending novels/books based on your support main! This is literally an excuse just to talk about the book's I've gotten through off my reading list this past week. My asks are open and any/all thoughts or opinions are welcome. TWs for any of the books mentioned will be listed as well. They're under the cut - enjoy!

Ana Amari: Ana used to find reading boring, often passing the time through other means. However, she's always found herself thinking about ‘Women Who Run With the Wolves’ by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. The book explores the wild woman archetype, and explores mythology, fables and fairy tales throughout, helping her to feel some form of escapism. The themes of resilience, feminine strength and intuition make this a book that Ana would definitely recommend to you! Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: sexual assault/violence, trauma, emotional abuse, death and grief, self-harm, mental health struggles, dark or disturbing imagery and cultural sensitivity (some of the mythology may be inaccurate).

Jean-Baptiste Augustin: With Baptiste's natural interest in healthcare/medical practices, the human body, and science with a hint of action and suspense, I think he'd recommend ‘Annihilation’ by Jeff VanderMeer to people similar to him or enjoy his character. It's the first book in the Southern Reach trilogy, and explores an expedition into an area known as Area X; a surreal place where psychological and physical expectations and limits are stretched and distorted throughout the novel. He enjoys the thrill the book provided him, and enjoyed the movie adaptation just as much. It's one that hasn't been able to leave his mind, and he won't stop talking about it when he rereads it every so often or if he's asked about it. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: body horror, psychological horror, death and violence, suicide, isolation/despair, loss of identity, insanity, and disturbing imagery.

Brigitte Lindholm: With Brigitte's life experiences, and her need to understand other walks of life (and partially because I headcanon her as wlw), I like to imagine Brigitte holds the novel ‘Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit’ by Jeanette Winterson close to her heart, helping to explore her own identity in a personal, retrospective way. The book explores the life of the protagonist with her adoptive, religious parents and her deviation from religion as she explores her identity in Britain. It's a coming-of-age novel that Brigitte found changed her perspective on certain things, and she would recommend it to anyone wanting to read something that's not the standard teenage autobiography. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: religious trauma, homophobia, emotional abuse, isolation and rejection, struggles with identity and psychological distress.

Illari Quispe Ruiz: Illari enjoys feminist books in my opinion, and enjoys dystopian novels that explore realities possibly not far from her own. It's something she's always enjoyed, with ‘The Power’ by Naomi Alderman being her favourite. She'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed her character or was similar to her, and her reasons for it are understandable. This novel explores a world where women develop the power to control and produce electricity from their bodies/hands. This causes dramatic shifts in power dynamics within society, and explores the ways in which society would be different for women especially, with the moral questions lingering in the back of the reader's mind. Illari appreciates the outlook the book provides, and the ways in which it poses questions that shake your own morality. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: sexual assault and r-pe, violence, torture, abuse of power, death and murder, religious extremism, trauma and psychological distress.

Kiriko Kamori: Kiriko enjoys introspection, and enjoys the idea of the afterlife as well as this. It's something she considers a lot, and about the life she'll be leaving behind in the future when her death comes closer. So, she would recommend ‘A Short Stay in Hell’ by William Blackwood to those similar to her or like her character - it explores the idea that hell isn't the stereotypical place with fire and burning, but a version where it's inhabitants have to endure a endless, meaningless and monotonous existence in a bureaucratic afterlife. Kiriko appreciates the way in which the novel sort of pokes fun at bureaucracy in real life/reality, and how much it degrades the human soul to do the same things each and every day. It definitely gave her a midlife crisis too early, but she thinks that everyone should read it at least once in their life. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: existential dread/despair, psychological distress, administrative and bureaucratic frustration, depiction of hell, isolation and loneliness.

Niran Pruksamanee / Lifeweaver: With the type of person Niran is, he would want to understand other walks of life, and explore realities far from his own but pose questions that relate to his own. He enjoys being left with his own questions about himself, and enjoys having those discussions with his soul about his identity or those around him. It's something he's always enjoyed, with the novel ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’ by Ursula k. Le Guin sparking this especially. Niran would recommend it to anyone with gender or sexuality questions within themselves, or anyone who shares the same passion for understanding humans in fictional worlds. The book explores a reality in which inhabitants of a planet can change their gender at their own will, exploring themes of identity, human connections and empathy. It left a stain on his mind for weeks after he finished it, and he would always recommend it to those similar to him or people who admire/like his character. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: sexual assault, psychological and physical trauma, gender and identity, cultural/societal oppression, isolation and alienation, death and conflict.

Lúcio Correia Dos Santos: Lucio has values regarding acceptance, community, and finding your place in society with support from others that he always holds dear to his heart. As such, he loves to explore stories with these themes. One of the books he'd recommend to anyone likeminded or those who like his character enough to main him would be ‘The House in the Cerulean Sea’ by TJ Klune. It's a heart-warming fantasy novel about a caseworker who works with magical children, discovering a new sense of belonging and companionship in the process. It's a meaningful book to Lucio, and he loves to talk about it any chance he gets. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: child abuse/neglect, discrimination, prejudice, trauma, emotional distress, loss and grief.

Angela Ziegler / Mercy: Honestly, I can imagine Angela being a splatterpunk fan, which is a genre that explores the human body's limits in a grotesque, gory and horror-filled way. As such, a book she would recommend to someone who shares this interest and enjoys her character too is ‘Earthlings’ By Sayaka Murata. It's a novel that explores the life of a young child, who believes she's been gifted magical powers from her plush hedgehog called Piyyut. It explores this, and how trauma impacts a child's brain when it comes to development, connecting with other people and morality in society. The ending wasn't at all what Angela was expecting, telling other Overwatch members about the horrors she read (that she also really enjoyed because of the implications left with the themes) and she would recommend it until she couldn't speak anymore. However, she knows that this book can often be too much for people with it's explicit details. So for those she knows wouldn't be able to handle the themes in ‘Earthlings’, she would recommend a dystopian novel such as ‘1984’ by George Orwell as Angela enjoys exploring realities that aren't far from the ones currently happening (or are about to happen. TW/CWs for Earthlings are as follows: mental health issues, childhood trauma, child abuse, sexual assault/abuse, sexual violence, family abuse/neglect, isolation and alienation, incestuous relationships, and generally disturbing content and themes. TW/CWs for 1984 are as follows: totalitarian control/oppression, psychological torture, physical torture and violence, oppressive ideology, propaganda, censorship and erasure of history,  isolation and loneliness, dystopian and despairing themes.

Moira O'Deorian: Moira's also the type to enjoy horror books, but likes to explore serial killer themes with unconventional methods of killing. She enjoys exploring the psyche of people who kill, and enjoys the perspectives that they provide. It's always something she's loved, and so she would recommend ‘A Certain Hunger’ by Chelsea G. Summers to anyone who likes her character enough to main her or shares her personality/interests. It's a mock-autobiography that explores the life of a food critic that has an unusual and disturbing hobby: she's a serial killer who targets and devours her victims. It's an exploration of femininity, with the lines between pleasure, violence and pain blurring the more that the protagonist explores her life in each chapter. Moira loved the ways in which the violence was weaved into the love stories, and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to read something new. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: cannibalism, sexual violence, murder and violence, psychological distress, dark humour and satire, and explorations of morality.

Tekhartha Zenyatta: Zenyatta doesn't often read, and when he does it's mostly spiritualism-related content. However, he would always recommend to people similar to him or people that enjoy his character/personality the novel ‘The Name of the Wind’ by Patrick Rothfuss. The novel is about Kvothe, a gifted man who's on a quest for knowledge, personal growth and and intelligence. It gave Zenyatta a new perspective on things, continuing to grow his understanding of humanity in a different, unconventional way. He appreciates the outlooks and themes the book presented him with, and he enjoys the way it showed him more about humanity. Applicable TW/CWs are as follows: violence, child abuse, sexual assault/coercion, death and grief, trauma, psychological distress, and abuse of power.

Illari x kiriko headcannons?

SunShrine / Illari x Kiriko Headcanons (SFW) Hiya! I already have a set of sfw hcs that you can find here - so, I've written some based on this prompt list to explore them a bit more. I would usually do nsfw instead, but I actually rly love this ship and can't get them out of my silly little head so I'm doing more romantic ones.

Who is the most insecure and what makes them feel better? Definitely Illari, she finds it hard to let herself fully indulge in love. She's terrified of losing Kiriko, and terrified that if she gets too close to her, then something or someone will rip her from her grasp and punish her more than she already has been. It's something she feels scared of, and doesn't like to talk about. The best way for Kiriko to get her out of this funk is to do something mindful but also refreshing - explorations of caves along the sea shore, walking along trails in the forest with some music in their headphones, working out in isolation together. Things that don't require talking, but help Illari gather her thoughts and understand what's happening with someone who'll always lend an ear whenever she needs it. There's no expectation to upright always tell each other what's going on, or to even talk if it's too much, so these sort of things would help reassure Illari that Kiriko's not going anywhere, but also that she's not alone and is able to enjoy life instead of getting caught up in the limbo of ‘what if’.

Who's more romantic? Kiriko is - she's more experienced with showing love, and Illari's sort of too proud of herself to let herself be stupid in love like Kiriko can be. She teases the life out of Illari for her bashfulness, often finding it more endearing how much she struggles to be affectionate towards Kiriko (especially at the start of their relationship). It's something Kiriko finds effortless as well, with her being more emotionally in touch and intelligent than Illari at the moment. She has no shame either, and will compliment her partner wherever they are, in front of whoever she wants. It makes Illari cry inside from embarrassment and sheepishness. 

Who says ‘I love you’ first? I can honestly see Illari doing it first, just dropping it out of nowhere without thinking, with it being the first time she's really opened up fully about her feelings for Kiriko since beginning to date. It would've been over something so sweet that Kiriko did for her, and helped her out with, and spoke to her about. Illari would've been on the verge of tears and let it slip out, not realising until after exactly what she said but not taking it back. She'd try to play it off when Kiriko teased her about it, asking ‘what have you done with the real Illari’, but in reality Kiriko would've been screaming inside with appreciation and love for Illari.

What's the most embarrassing thing they've done in front of each other? Illari's most embarrassing thing to do in front of Kiriko is from before they started dating. Someone would've told her that her dear friend was close by, in a clothing shop getting some things. In an attempt to see her again, Illari would excuse herself from the friend, walk to the window, and attempt to walk through the doors that she swears to this day weren't closed. She walked straight into them, lost her footing and fell, dragging Kiriko's attention to her. Kiriko's response was genuine, loosing herself in the laughter of the moment while trying to sincerely help Illari out. It was sweet, but Illari couldn't live the moment down and refused to look Kiriko in the eye without feeling shame for days. She doesn't live the moment down, and still believes that the doors weren't closed when she went to walk through them, that Kiriko probably closed them to enjoy the embarrassment (in a light-hearted, teasing way). The most embarrassing thing that Kiriko's done in front of Illari was when they first started dating. Kiriko hadn't warned Illari that when she drinks carbonated drinks like Pepsi and coke, she becomes extremely gassy quickly, often belching like a dad in a restaurant after too many beers. Its something she's not ashamed of, but doesn't like to openly do in front of people. So, after a couple weeks of dating, she completely forgot that she hadn't told Illari about this, and let rip a belch unlike any other. Her response? “Pardon me” in the sweetest way possible. It caught Illari off guard, provoking her to giggle in disbelief and astonishment. It was a new level of comfortable achieved, but Illari won't let Kiriko live down how quickly she went from belching to being sweet as pie. It's hilarious to her, but embarrassing to Kiriko (not so much anymore, though).

It's movie night - what do they watch and who decides? How does it go? They usually do a coin toss for movie night - Kiriko wants to usually watch a romance movie like ‘how to lose a guy in ten days’ or ‘10 things I hate about you’, with Illari wanting to watch an action or thriller show (truthfully because she doesn't like to watch them alone). They'd do the coin toss, and if either of them lose, it would become best out of 3. If either of them lost that, they'd do rock, paper scissors. Whoever lost that would end up being the one to pick where they got their accompanying takeaway order from, to make them feel better for not being able to watch what they wanted that night. They're both incredibly competitive and rarely back down until they're frustrated and can't be bothered to keep fighting if the other's rubbing it in their face. Movie night's never a problem for them, though, with each other's presence softening their mood and making them feel closer to one another. Illari will often be found letting Kiriko cuddle up to her, secretly enjoying how warm she is and the comforting feeling of her partner snuggled up to her. 

When one has a cold, what does the other do? Kiriko would tend to them and become sick with worry herself. She's a loving person, too, so she would end up saying ‘I don’t care if I get sick' when she's told she can't get a kiss or cuddle from Illari. It's something that always results in her getting sick too, joining Illari in bed watching Star Wars or Marvel movies to relax and get through the fevers and chills. It's funny to Illari, but Kiriko hates being sick. She just can't help herself, though, and she wants to make sure Illari's safe and taken care of as though Kiriko's her nurse. On the other hand, when Kiriko's sick and Illari's the one expected to take care of her, she becomes mortified. Partially due to the fact that she's concerned about it spreading, but also because she doesn't want Kiriko hurt. She'll observe from the side-lines, getting as close as possible without being too close to get sick herself, which frustrates Kiriko. Illari will give up her bed for however long they're sick, sleeping on the sofa or a chair in their bedroom to keep an eye on them properly. She wishes she could be more comforting, but she physically can't stand the idea of being sick. If Kiriko so much as coughs in her direction, she's spraying her hands with disinfectant and testing her for a plethora of diseases and illnesses.

'Home': Support Headcanons!

If you asked the support heroes where their idea of home would be, and what it would look/feel like, this is what I think they'd say. My asks are open and if you have any opinions or suggestions, I'm always open to them c:

Ana Amari / Ana: Life has been long for her, and she would do anything to feel like somewhere was home for her again. After living most of her adult life as a dead woman, Ana would tell you that home last was when Fareeha was a child, and she worked with Overwatch before it was banned. Ana still looks back on that time in her life and I'm sure she would do anything to be able to go back in time, and watch Pharah grow and learn all over again. Ana would love to be able to relive her relationships with Sam and Reinhardt, and experience everything she took for granted all over again. Waking up at HQ to Fareeha watching over her, holding a warm cup of coffee to help wake her up before another mission; that's what home looks and feels like for Ana. Things happened for a reason though, in her eyes, and she's learned to accept that home doesn't exist for her anymore, or at least right now.

Jean-Baptiste Augustin / Baptiste: Baptise has never felt at home anywhere, until he joined Overwatch during it's revival. Anywhere that could've been a place for him to feel comfortable and at ease in was riddled with Talon, war, death and the cries of his loved ones. It's something he's always struggled with even if it doesn't seem like it. He grew up in unstable environments and without the support he deserves, so Baptiste views Overwatch HQ and his newfound friends as his home. Even if that home is constantly changing countries and constantly moving around, he still values the stability of knowing he's around likeminded people who support him and value his skillset without manipulating him.

Brigitte Lindholm / Brigitte: Gothenburg, Sweden will always be her forever home. She'd happily tell you this if you ever asked, and more specifically, her family home. Brigitte grew up in a busy home, and it's something that she truly appreciates and she appreciates how lively Gothenburg can be. She thrives in places packed with people, and always has. Home for her looks and feels like waking up to the smell of her mother cooking her a freshy baked apple pie, with her younger siblings playing around her as though she were apart of the decorations. Being somewhere surrounded by family is something she's always appreciated, and she feels most at home when she's with Torbjorn especially. Hearing everyone talk on top of each other, conversations drowning within themselves, with so much to do and so little time, is something she thrives on. It makes Brigitte feel alive. All that's left is some love from her cat!

Illari Quispe Ruiz / Illari: She doesn't like to answer this question, or think about her 'home', but deep down it would be Runasapi, Peru (before it happened). She used to be desperate to go back and fix it all, prevent it from happening, and save her loved ones. It's something Illari prayed to whoever was listening for, for years. Until she taught herself to be numb; now, she avoids thinking about it and doesn't believe she's deserving of that comforting feeling of being somewhere you know you can be yourself, be safe and be greeted with love. Illari has a lot of guilt boiled deep down inside her, and thinking about 'home' does her no good.

Kiriko Kamori / Kiriko: Home for Kiriko is back at her apartment, surrounded by her neighbours, hosting a dinner night with them all enjoying themselves. She knows this is a pipe dream, but having Genji there too would sweeten the deal. Hanzo, on the other hand, is someone she's still yet to gain trust with again after everything the Shimada Clan/Gang has done to them. Kiriko describes home as the loving embrace of those who mean the most to her; it reminds her to keep fighting for a better world, for their protection, and to keep going in the face of danger

Niran Pruksamanee / Lifeweaver: Lifeweaver tends not to dwell on the idea of home, and what that might look like for him. It's not something he has to worry about, and he believes he has bigger things to concern himself with. But, if you were to pry it out of him, home would be at the academy with Satya; not because he misses working for Vishkar (especially with what they've done), but he misses the carefree nature of his life. Niran misses being able to walk somewhere without looking over his shoulder, paranoid that someone will hurt him for his technology. He would do anything to go back in time, and do things differently to ensure his future protection. Niran's idea of home is long gone, and he wants to move forward and create a new home for himself and others. Healing the world is the first step to getting there, and he still has a long way to go in his mind.

Lúcio Correia Dos Santos / Lucio: Lucio's got two ideas of what home would look like for him; he feels most comfortable and at ease when he's DJing at an underground gig, embracing the music through him and uniting everyone from different backgrounds together. It's something he'll never take for granted, and the impact he makes on others just from those gigs alone is enough for him to consider it his home. If you were to ask on a deeper level though, in an ideal world where he could have anything he wanted, do anything he wanted, and with anyone he wanted, Lucio would tell you that home would be with his father. He misses him greatly, and longs for those late nights coming home from school, watching and helping his dad cook some Pao de Queijo for dinner. The smell alone of Pao de Queijo brings him back, and makes him miss his father even more. One last hug from him would remind him of where his home truly is.

Angela Ziegler / Mercy: With Angela, she's used to travelling so much, with where she sleeps rarely feeling like home. It's not a familiar feeling she has, but she feels most at home when she's in her element and helping others in a hospital setting. Being a medic is hard enough, but being injured is harder in her eyes. Instead of having her own home, she aims to give others who might not have one themselves somewhere to feel safe, and to feel cared for by at least one other person. It's something near and dear to her heart, and it's what motivates her to keep working as a medic, and keep fighting the good fight for those who're hurt in the process. She thinks everyone deserves to feel 'home' somewhere, so why can't she give that to others instead of focusing on her own?

Moira O'Deorain / Moira: Moira's idea of home is in her genetics lab, working on something important and without any restrictions on her practices. Letting her mind run free with ideas, calculations, next steps, etc. is where she feels the best. She hates being limited and detests the laws in place that stop her from exploring genetics to their maximum capabilities. In Moira's ideal world, home would be working without limits, developing what she believes would be the next best step in human evolution. Otherwise, she doesn't really consider the idea of 'home' as a concept as a real thing. It's not something Moira want's to entertain herself with as it would only distract her on what she views most important.

Tekhartha Zenyatta / Zenyatta: The most 'Zen' thing he could say is that home isn't attainable until there's peace between humans and omnics, once and for all. He used to have a home; Shambali Monastery was where he used to call his home. But ever since Null Sector's and Talon's attacks, he realises it was far from it. He, as an omnic, would never be able to find home until he's free to live in the same ways as other humans, without the wars and violence that comes with gaining those rights. Zenyatta will always avoid the conversation, and when he can't he'll either avoid answering by asking you first and distracting you with more questions, or will give a long drawn answer that means nothing of substance but reassures you in a very strange way...
