#zenyatta headcanons

[orb-pond]

yearning,,

Oh,,,to be gently held by arms others would consider cold and confining,,, letting his digits softly ghost along your skin, tracing your birthmarks like constellations,, his touch dips past your flesh and into your soul the way sun creeps through the leaves of blooming trees,, a moment beyond love and lust, souls bonding in ways no words could describe,,,

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).

[overwatch-xoxo]

So ima simp for Zenyatta so bad- and I’ve been craving a certain side of him. The -ahem- yandere side of him. You don’t have to write a fic, but head cannons or a lil drabble on how you think he would be as a yandere would be much appreciated.

Nonnie, you are so valid! Receiving this ask got me really excited to write for this blog again, so I've been working hard on this. I've never (intentionally) written yandere before, so I hope I was able to do this idea justice for you. Enjoy!~

tw: emotional manipulation, stalking, possessiveness, obsession

it starts small. you catch zenyatta’s gaze lingering in your direction for an extra moment, just long enough that you notice, but brief enough that you dismiss it. perhaps it was all in your head. 

suspicion turns to butterflies as his interest in you becomes more pronounced. when he speaks to you, it’s in a gentle, even tone. he makes time to spend with you, often accompanying you for walks in gardens. he recites poetry and philosophical musings, and you can get lost in his lilting verse.

while zenyatta’s voice is soothing, his words are complex and often leave you feeling more dazed than comforted. you get the feeling he knows he’s talking circles around you. when you ask clarifying questions, he laughs, his chuckles light as blossoms on the air.

although zenyatta has a reputation for keeping a cool and effortlessly calm exterior, he struggles to keep himself that way around you. the prana, the life force energy that flows through his body and makes him alive, becomes overwhelmingly frenetic in your presence. he might shake or stutter. this feeling is especially exacerbated by even small inklings of jealousy or anxiety within him.

when it comes to himself, zenyatta also values inner peace and calm, devotion, honesty. he quickly finds that your presence interrupts that balance he has worked so hard to maintain. even when you are not around, his mind swirls with visions of you - your voice, your hair, your scent. 

above all, he seeks balance, and he knows one thing for certain: your very existence throws him off-kilter, for better or for worse. sometimes he feels devastatingly hopeless at the idea of you leaving him for something different, more suited to your lifestyle, and he’ll soothe himself with healing energies. and sometimes he buzzes so vibrantly with joy that you are in his life at all, and he’ll bring himself back to the plane of reality with discord and malaise. he occasionally excuses himself to center his feelings in this way. but as you grow closer and he falls deeper into his obsessive love, leaving your side only serves to worsen this imbalance.

when he finally confesses his feelings to you, his words spill out frenetically, as if he couldn’t keep this chaotic love inside his body for a moment longer. 

“I once followed the Iris, thinking it would be my salvation, the only path to enlightenment for my people. I now realize the error in my ways. I should have always been devoted to you.”

one day, in zenyatta’s personal meditation room, you come across a worn leather journal with your name lovingly embossed into the cover in omnic script. Intrigued, you thumb through it. every page spills with written word about you - thoughts, musings, meditations, poetry, even records of little things you said to him that had been mundane, benign. glancing at his tidy shelves, it dawns on you that this is only the most recent volume of several. the earliest journals date back to before you even remember being introduced.

at night, he spoons you protectively, pressing every inch of his body to yours, reciting ancient spiritual poetry until you are lulled to sleep. not needing to rest himself, he keeps watch over you until dawn, wondering the whole time how he is fortunate enough to have you. sometimes you wake with the taste of metal on your tongue, and the thought of his hands in your mouth shivers in your mind.

“i wish to surround myself with nothing but you. I meditate on the image of crawling inside you, of taking up all the space within you until I know you are mine, and I am yours.”

he is remarkably protective of you, and although his face shows little expression, when he is enraged, a ferocious glint appears in his eye. when you talk to another person, anyone he sees as a romantic or physical threat, he touches you gently on the small of your back, barely concealing his trembling.

it isn’t long before his protective impulses get the better of him, and he insists on being with you at all times like a bodyguard. sometimes his obsessive needs grow so strong that he might forbid you from leaving his room at the temple, where he can keep an eye on you and know you’re safe.

“i want to know you like I know myself. i will devote every moment i am granted to wrapping myself in your soul, in everything you are, until you have permeated every iota of my being so thoroughly, I can no longer tell where you end and I begin.”

[catboy-kody]

Ohhhh boi

Zenyatta, everyone

My main

Most of the time

Other than Hanzo at least

He's probably the most powerful character lore-wise

Other than Sigma maybe

He's basically immortal, I think

Honestly he's a God at this point

The fact Talon sent Sombra AND Widowmaker after him???? Hello??? Along with several other less important members

So mysterious, tehehehehe (as we all know)

(pls help I've been waiting for a match for six mins)

Nvm I forgot about IlIari, who's probably just as powerful as those two

The sun

[overwatch-imagines-hub]

Hello, could I request the reactions of Lucio, Zenyatta, Genji and Doomfist to the reader actually being a deity

Tip Jar

~~~

Lucio

Oh I could’ve told you that

Why do you think I worship you? -wink wonk-

Lucio, you’re such a dork, why

He’s more curious than anything

Like, what exactly does being a deity mean?

What does it entail?

Is it like? Your job?

Or is it more like a species/race thing? It’s just kind of… there

He has several questions

Tries to respect you being a deity while also not making it weird and still treating you like he would any other partner

If you have a church or an alter or something like that, he definitely wants to see them

Do you have devotees???

He’s vibing, honestly

He treats you more like you’re a celebrity than like a god or deity

Joke’s on you, you’re a god that settled for a dork who likes frogs and music

He teases you and makes puns every so often but overall he thinks it’s pretty cool

Zenyatta

He’s hella respective of your deity-ness

Maybe a little too respectful

You probably have to remind him that you are in fact dating him and that he doesn’t need to put you on a pedestal or anything

He’s very curious about the religion/culture/etc that you belong to, if any

Curious about other deities as well

He makes a little shrine for you at his temple but instead of being all fancy it’s more like how a teenager would decorate their locker

A photoset from the time the two of you went in a photo booth at a carnival

Mementos from dates

He mainly likes to visit when you’re away

He wonders if you can somehow see him from it or something

Probably carries something akin to a pocket altar on his person when he travels, even though it’s more of a reminder of you than anything

His “offerings” are his cuddles and face-nuzzles

Genji Shimada

Probably immediately stressed at first

Please forgive him for his sins,,,

He is still occasionally riddled with guilt over his past, he can’t help it

When you come off as fairly normal, though, he eventually settles

When y’all start holding hands and snuggling and smooching is when he’s completely convinced

Still has no idea why a deity would want to be with him but he’s not really complaining

Asks you about your culture and work as a deity, and who else there is out there like you

And do they always date human-people?

Overall, treats you normally

If you do something like bless his scars or give him a protection talisman to take on his travels, you will make him blush, though

So, like, do it

Akande

He’s

Going to be hard to convince, tbh

If that’s something you try to do

Like

He’s doesn’t not believe you

But he also doesn’t do

He’s not disrespectful or anything, just skeptical

He’s actually very respectful, and curious about your work and power

It doesn’t change how he feels about you

Just different cultures, y’know?

Would being a deity count as a different culture?

It doesn’t really affect your relationship at all

76, Zenyatta and Genji with a boyfriend who likes to stealthily leave them little gifts (origami, snacks, happy little notes with cute doodles and declarations of affection etc) in places where they will find them (whether they are actually stealthy or A for Effort/You Tried is up to you ✨)

SOLDIER 76:

- he melted seeing these

- he keeps them around his workspace a lot

- sometimes he catches you putting them around but he doesn’t bother you

- he shares the snacks you give him

- on missions he knows he will be gone for very long he takes them with him

- he will leave notes for you too and you always keep them around as well

ZENYATTA:

- he always knows when you’re doing them

- he lets you have your fun though

- he puts the origami you make him around him as he does his usual meditation

- loves when you make the origami cranes, he puts them on strings so he can hang them up

- when it ends up being 1000 cranes he will make a wish with you

- you show them how to make the origami cranes after he expresses how much he loves them

GENJI:

- he wonders how you’re doing this with him not noticing

- either way, seeing them he always thanks you

- he keeps the notes on the inside of his armor

- also, he made a note wall so you can both leave notes there and doodles of course

- he started to leave notes and doodles as well

- it ended up as ‘who can leave the most notes/doodles every day’

I hope you have an amazing day, anon!🌸

_________________

Zarya

When you first went and approached her to ask her to train you, she very delighted.

She had a few simple rules however. 1. Listen carefully. 2. No fooling around. 3. Always have enough rest and the rest you need. 4. Always be ready by 9 in the morning.

For the first few days of training, she was going easy. She would cheer you on and give encouraging words the entire time.

She always wanted you to know to just try your best, if you can’t do the activity she gave, she’ll say, “let’s try a different one, yes?”

Morning jogs with her every weekend.

And every lunch or dinner, she’ll have you eat the food with a lot of protein and nutritions.

If you forget to bring something during a training session, don’t worry! She has you.

If you want to just sleep for the day, she understands but the next day you have to start on it, again.

If you don’t show up, she’ll get you herself and do easy exercising tasks for the rest on the day.

Zenyatta

Going up to him was far easy, he loved the idea of having another student.

Everyday is a meditation class, don’t miss it.

He’s the one who introduced you to Genji so all three of you would meditate together.

He’ll always have encouraging words

If you’re feeling down, he’ll have a long chat with you. He’ll make sure you fully understand each word he gives.

His talks are so encouraging and wise omg

After the talk, he’ll make you tea as you meditate by yourself.

The tasks for you are rather much simple. He needs the following to be achieved if you’re his student-

Find yourself

Love yourself for who you are

Continue on with the kindness he gives

Listen to all wise words he gives, their important just like you.

He’ll make sure that your clean and calm everyday, he doesn’t want you to feel tense.

If you have an electronic, he’ll have you sit it down for the rest of the day

Out of everything, Zenyatta just wants you to feel calm and feel like you’re one with yourself. He doesn’t want you to feel the rush when you’re worried or whatsoever. If you need anything, you can always come to him.

Hi can you do mccree, zenyatta and hanzo with an s/o who loves animals and adopts a newborn kitten and raises it? I think it would be fun particularly for zenyatta cause he's not human

((A/N - Thank you sooooo much for bearing with me in this hiatus. Life is absolutely *fantastic* atm lmao))---McCree• Is slightly curious when you come back to base with a lump under your jacket and you trying to be sneaky• Knocks on your room later on, his curiosity getting the better of him• Bursts into laughter when he realises there's a kitten running rings around you, your hair now a mess and claw marks up your arm• You explain the poor thing was just dumped at the side of the road, and you couldn't leave it• He manages to grab it by the scuff of its neck as it tried to run through his legs out of the door• The little furball instantly relaxes into your boyfriend's arms, you throwing your arms up in exasperation• You have to admit, seeing what is usually a hardened killer cooing at a tiny cloud is just precious---Zenyatta• No matter how hard you try, you are unable to keep secrets from your other half• Which is why, when you spontaneously decided to adopt a kitten, he knew exactly what was going on • He was more intrigued than anything, want to understand more about the relationship between humans and animals, something he has never really been able to relate to• Is a bit taken aback by how similar the kitten and Genji of all people are, something that you find incredibly amusing• The kitten's favourite place to relax is on your boyfriends lap, by his surprise• Watching you fall in love with this little scrap makes him realise how much he loves you even more• Which, in his eyes, is incredible as he thought he would never be able to feel this way about someone---Hanzo• You felt guilty when met with a disapproving look from your boyfriend, a tiny kitten sleeping in your arms• You cuddled it closer, the reason for you adopting it was because you felt a bit lonely on base, especially when your boyfriend wasn't there• It took him time to warm up to the idea of you looking after a pet, on top of the rest of your workload• His two noodles would often come out and play, happy to be in the company of a new animal• When he sees how much happier you've become, he becomes happy too• The first time the kitten falls asleep on his chest, he's too scared to move incase he wakes it up• After a few weeks, he's happy to have his two little 'kittens', that being his favourite term of endearment for you
