They find out you self-harm (Ladies, Support)
Ana
- As soon as she finds out her motherly instincts kick in. She isnât overbearing or trying to treat you like a child, but she is desperately trying to make sure that you´re okay and safe. She gets you comfortable with fresh new clothe and some tea as she looks over any scars or marks that might require attention. When she is certain that you arenât hurt, she sits down next to you, leans in and envelops you in a hug. No talking, no explaining, nothing but relaxing and you calming down. She insists on you taking everything in your own time so as to not get stressed. You have to put yourself and your personal well-being first.
- Running around and trying every single activity and hobby under the sun isnât really her thing anymore. She has a couple of hobbies of her own, such as crocheting, baking and keeping up her sniping abilities, but she enjoys taking a slower pace than the one she took during her time as a captain in Overwatch. She often asks you to sit down with her for a while and just relax. You can watch a movie, read a book, listen to some music, it is up to you. As long as you take it easy sometimes she is happy.
- She is incredibly good at helping people relax, and she is always happy to help you out if you are having a bad day or if you feel down. If things are especially bad she might contact Zenyatta and ask him for help or advice on how to help you be calm. If you are alright with it, she would be happy to invite some friends and colleagues over for dinner. She always likes to catch up with people, and hopefully, you could make some new acquaintances too.
Brigitte
- Here come the hugs! But seriously though, she´s going to give you the tightest bear-hug in the world. You mean so much to her, and the thought of you intentionally causing yourself pain is unbearable to her. She´s always been used to physical affection, and you´re going to have to get used to a lot more of it from now on. No matter what you´re doing, and even if you´re working on something, she will occasionally put her arms around you, put her head on your shoulder, hold your hand or just lean into your touch in general.
- Her constant travels with Reinhardt make her pretty new to dating and being in a relationship, so she sometimes feels a bit awkward or unsure of how to help you when you feel down. She doesnât want to seem overbearing, but at the same time, she knows that it isnât healthy to sit alone and let it all bottle up inside you. In short: Communication between the two of you is important, and even if you just want to talk about your day or something small that is bothering you she is all ears.
- When she was younger she always had heroes like her parents or Reinhardt to look up to when she was feeling sad or depressed, so she wants to be that type of figure for you. She tries to motivate you to get through the sad times, as she often tells you how much she loves you and how proud she is of how far you´ve come. No war has been won in a day, but no war has been won by giving up either.
Mercy
- The doctor is ready to see you now. She reacts purely by instinct and quickly makes sure that the wounds don´t get infected and that you are alright otherwise. You would believe that she is used to seeing people hurt and knows how to deal with it, but this time itâs different. It´s been years since she dealt with military personnel in Overwatch, so it has been a long time since she had to worry about a loved one getting hurt. She hated seeing it back then, and she hates seeing it now, but her main priority is to make sure that you´re okay.
- She might have seemed somewhat cold initially, but that goes back to her doctor-instincts taking over. She was scared out of her mind when she found out, and now that everything has calmed down a little she can see much clearer. She makes your surroundings as comfortable as she can, to lessen the chances of another episode. When she gets home from work (you´re usually the first one home, as the life of a doctor is a busy one) she makes sure to ask you about how your day was and how you´re doing and wants to make sure that there is nothing that is keeping you down.
- She tries to balance her doctor-side and her girlfriend-side as much as she can. Her first thought is that she knows what to do, but she has to remind herself that she has a personal and romantic relationship with you that could potentially cloud her judgment. Instead, she settles on being there for you, both in spirit and in person. She has always been a very physical partner (she loves giving you a little kiss or caressing your cheek at every chance she gets) but now she puts a lot more effort into it. If you even look remotely sad she will quite literally latch onto you with every limb that she´s got, forcing you to lay down and let her cuddle and kiss you (I wouldnât recommend trying to get up anytime soon, as Angela has a tendency to fall asleep like this, especially after a long day of work).
Moira
- It is no secret that Moira spends a lot of her time working in her lab on different scientific projects. And while her determination towards her passion is admirable, it sadly also creates a problem: Not being home a lot. She rarely gets home around the same time you do, and it´s even rarer for her to get a day off, which means that it takes quite a long time for her to notice whats happening.
- And when she notices her reaction is quite opposite of what most would expect. Owing to her reputation and her sometimes stoic appearance, some people would perhaps develop the impression the Moira doesnât care about others. That impression is mostly true as well, seeing as your partner doesnât spend much time with those she finds annoying, but it is also false in some respects, and especially when it concerns you. Despite her dislike of PDA and her rather introverted behavior, Moira absolutely adores you and the fact that someone as perfect as you would do something like this to yourself breaks her heart, so she tries to show her love more often, but mostly when it is just the two of you.
- She wants to help you get better, but not working and staying home from the lab is not an option. Working hard is a very deep-set part of her personality, and she would simply not know what to do with herself if she wasnât working on something or focused on something of interest. There is, however, another way to sort this out: You accompanying her to the lab. She would be happy to have you around to keep her company after you are done at school or at work if you feel up to it. That way you both get to spend more time together and she can help you if another episode starts developing.
Symmetra
- Scared and confused are words that could pretty much sum up Symmetra´s reaction when she finds out. She has never been good at dealing with people and being social, so her attempts to figure the situation out, almost appear frantic and uncoordinated, something which is very unlike her usual self. She cares about you so much, and to see what´s happened throws her completely off her balance. Her movement and responses are almost mechanical as she attempts to simultaneously help you and get her chaotic thoughts back on track.
- It takes some time for her to feel comfortable enough within herself to bring the subject up in a conversation. Her social skills arenât the best, so she is well aware that she needs to be extra careful about not coming off as blunt or uncaring when talking to you. She chooses her words carefully and makes sure to reminds you much she loves and cares about you, as the two of you talk.
- She understands that everybody deals with hardship differently and that your way won´t necessarily be the same as hers. She introduces you to her hobbies and her work in the hopes of potentially finding a shared interest, but if this ends up not being the case, then she is also happy to be by your side as you explore other areas and activities, adding her own suggestions from time to time.
