I need a set of casual skins so bad. So many good ideas have been thrown around in this thread. They should do it for the spring-time, like a spring fashion event.

I really do hope so! Seeing the gang in casual clothing just really brings a smile to my face. Like they have lives too! They're not just here to fight each other and stuff. Maybe the Hanzo outfit was a tease of the future cause it's pretty well detailed.

About that picture...I don't have a clue why but for some bizarre reason it made me ship Genji and Pharah together. It was strange. Yet somehow satisfying.

B-But she's like 16 bro! And he's like 30 something! Is this a new kind of shipping?! Also, Genji looks pretty happy at seeing bunny D.Va.

35 and 19 actually.

Spoiler

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER ALEX. If everyone else gets to have stupid head canon, I can have a head canon that Hanzo and Genji are actually a decade younger than they claim.

 

[Durrzerker]

Do people really find age differences so weird? Like if they are both adults who cares

I was just finding a way to combat it to be honest haha! But yeah where I'm from it is unusual but it's not bad. I thought she was still 16 or 15 so I focusing on that.

I'm sorry orthodoxy!!! But then...isn't Mercy 10 years older than him if that's true?

Nah she's actually 19. It actually seems to be a fairly regular favorite among some of the Korean artists I follow on Twitter.

And actually she's 37 supposedly, so that'd make her more than a decade older lololol. But there's no way she's biologically 37 actually. Whatever haha. I don't really care for the D.Va ship that much. It's kinda cute but I much prefer Gency. My headcanon thing was a joke.

At least we don't have Hanzo x Genji shippers here.

 

[SerAardvark]

Look, there is no woman that way is biologically 37.

Other than that photo from Ana's trailer (where she's roughly 17 but not part of Overwatch, which makes her being included weird) Mercy's age being 37 fits the timeline really well, actually. She was orphaned during the Omnic Crisis, where she would have been a young girl, and wouldn't have joined Overwatch until after it was well-established, which would explain her reservations about joining.

Blizzard's also confirmed her age as 37 (they actually aged her up from 34) and that she ages normally.

Hmm...I guess I'm cool with that! Nothing wrong. Now to find out if Emergenji is better or GenVa/G.Va/D.Venji or whatever it's called.

And wow at Mercy being more than 10 years older than him! Sounds lewd.

EDIT: Just saw your edit. We do not speak of...THAT pairing here.

Lmao. Just saying. There are worse ships out there. I saw an unfortunate number of super lewd pics of that while collecting the art I posted today.

Anyways, Gency still reigns supreme so whatevs.

That is so awesome. D.Va would totally have the slosher.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I've always been against large age gap difference in my pairings. Particularly if one of them is almost old enough to be her father... Call it the "Usagi Drop" effect... You guys know what I'm talking about...>_>

(The exceptions are 'immortals' that are functionally ageless.)

So while I get the appeal of Genji x D.Va, no that's way too big for my liking.

A 16 year gap is certainly big, and it's not a relationship I'd actually really care to see made canon in the game. If they were to pursue that relationship, which they've never even remotely hinted at (since Mercy is still the most obvious pairing for Genji), I'd rather they retcon the age of the Shimada brothers first.

That said, what makes Usagi Drop particularly creepy isn't quite just the age difference. There are a decent number of fictional couples with pretty sizable age gaps. The problem with Usagi Drop is ultimately the gross grooming aspect of raising a kid...

 

[Neoxon]

Yoshikage Kira has a new stand, he calls it the Junker Queen.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Ah Usagi Drop. What fond memories I have of it! Great main characters and a good story to boot. Then adorable little Rin got older and had to go through those rough teenage years and it was so interesting! Daikichi sticking with her through and through!

Then suddenly Daikichi is getting older and decides not hook up with that woman for Rin's sake. Brave choice. I can respect that. All for Rin. And yet...somehow...OH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!

Spoiler

RIN STARTS GETTING JEALOUS AT THE THOUGHT OF HER PRECIOUS DAIKICHI FALLING IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER WOMAN!!! THEN SHE REALIZES SHE LOVES HIM AND WANTS TO STAY WITH HIM FOREVER EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS IT'S WRONG! SHE EVEN RUNS AWAY AFTER THE BOY WHO LIKES HER TELLS DAIKICHI! BUT WHAT HAPPENS? THEY GET TOGETHER BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT SHE WASN'T HIS GRANDFATHER'S OFFSPRING SO IT'S OKAY IF THEY GET TOGETHER!

What a grrrrreeeat ending!

I'm really sorry. That brought back some memories. I'll erase the unneeded post soon.

But yeah woo-hoo Gency!!!

Usagi Drop snip

This will never cease to make me burn with annoyance.

Wanna talk a weird age-gap? There you go. 24 years. And he raises her. Ewwww. I dunno why I expected more from a josei written by a woman, but I guess it just proves that women can be creeps too.

Wife husbandry at its finest. I guess.

Thanks for all the awesome images! Warms my heart to see the Overwatch group playfully go at each other! Also Mercy and Genji.

[Dreavus]

Seeing that makes me think the names got switched on Genji's "human" legendaries. The green hair feels really tacky to me for it to be his actual "younger" version (I think it's named "Young Genji", while his Black-haired skin is "Sparrow").

 

[DevilDog]

They're so cute together !

Why are their eyes closed? Can't they see through all that teen angst?

Mercy looking blazed AF

It's her suit keeping her regenerated, she's getting high from it like the tf2 medic sniffing his healing gun

Aw Ortho's banned? Well, Merry Christmas Overwatch Art connoisseurs gaf. Here's hoping to a beautifully drawn 2017, filled with new characters and crazy antics.

Cheers luvvvvvv.

Can't remember any of Sombra's lines right now.

This thread has been fun to lurk, and greatly contributed towards my decision to pickup the game along with a Steam Controller. Looking forward to seeing all these great character designs in action.

When I posted that last night? I could not. To be fair though, I've just started to play heavily again at the Christmas event and totally forgot about Sombra's short from a few months earlier.

But the boop.

 

[Psxphile]

It's not really a line so much as a sound effect. Also it's weird that people attribute it as a catchphrase or character quirk for Sombra when she was only mimicking the framed photo on the desk as a means to intimidate.

This might sound creepy, but I can't figure out what it is about the human Overwatch characters that makes them so...hot. Moreso than the vast majority of videogame characters intended to evoke the thirst. These are truly iconic character designs that will likely be contributing towards a generation of sexual awakenings among younger gamers lmao. I mean, have you ever seen a sexy drawing of a human that is oddly, subtly exaggerated to be hotter than real life sexy humans in a mysterious way? That's like every human character in Overwatch. And not even sexualization...it's just straight-up, genuine, old fashioned sex appeal (there's a fine line there and Blizzard seems to comes out of it ok). Props to the artists/character designers.

Believe it or not, someone did an actual, in depth analysis on why this is by what I can only describe as the porn academia community.
