Anonymous asked: Wing its are gonna fill up super fast until after Christmas, I think.

I think it might just be the “first” wing-it rush. That seems to happen whenever I open wing-its up again after a while of them being closed.

Didn’t expect to come back to eight commission emails lmao

I never understood why Overwatch even tries to have a story when it’s in one of the absolute worst genres in which to tell a story.

Eh, FPS can have a good story mode but it needs to have a STORY MODE. Which overwatch has not.

Though, in somewhat defense, of Overwatch they were going for a multi-media story thing (even though they were doing that for lack of a proper story mode). But, they fucked that up too because a Lack of consistent updates that actually pushed some sort of story forward.  Seriously, they didn’t even need to do it like one big huge over arching story and could have done like a series of comics that focused on smaller arcs all leading to some sort of main plot.

But for that to work they’d need to plan, but, they have no plan*. It’s really obvious that most of the OW cast are just a hodgepodge of different character tropes and themes slapped together around a hero/character-centric FPS so blizzard could make those E-sport bucks.

*I guess to be fair it seems everything post-Reunion had no plan to it. Reunion feels like it’s actually the actual start of them moving towards some kind of story but who knows if they’ll fuck it up or not. Probably helps they hired an actual writer a couple months ago.

One of the worst parts of Overwatch’s lore is that it’s been 2 years and (from what I can tell) they STILL aren’t actually Overwatch yet (or at least Overwatch has yet to consist of anything more than just Tracer and Winston) and have yet to actually DO anything of value.

Most of the shorts and comics either focus on what the characters are doing individually or what happened in the past when old Overwatch was still around, rather than the characters as a team coming together to take on a singular goal / threat .

Actually, that’s a lie; Talon, the bad-guy team, has come together since the Doomfist comic and are planning some vaguely evil malarkey, which not only means the villains have achieved more than the heroes so far, it means the modern age Overwatch team’s ONLY notable victory, stopping Widowmaker and Reaper from stealing the Doomfist’s glove way back in the reveal trailer (which was back in 2014) was COMPLETELY UNDONE.  This is the most inept super-hero team ever.


When you put it that way; It’s pretty fucking hilarious.

It’s even more hilarious when you consider that Widow & Reaper were only stopped because I little kid came in with an assist.

And Reinhardt looks his age despite not living in…
I mean yeah, but none of them are actual characters. Every Overwatch “charater” is just a token or a stereotype.

Yeah, that’s true. If Overwatch didn’t have such ass shit story telling it wouldn’t matter.

Anonymous asked: Junk rat is ugly af. Joker might be ugly but he has that bad boy charm and showers. You can tell blizzard was going for a joker look for Junkrat, he even has a jester skin. Junkrat probably smells like shit and has stanky breath. The only people I can imagine to like Junkrat are probably into some other crazy shit. Wheres molly amazoning the fuck out of Chris

The end of this whole thing hit me like a train.

Anonymous asked: How long do you think Anons are gonna keep bitching cause you actually had a well thought out opinion on overwatch?

Probably not much longer. They usually give up within a day.

Anonymous asked: You say junkrat is unattractive, but he's the character everyone wants to fuck the most. 🤔 Also, when do the McHanzo shippers get pissed off that he has two ex-girlfriends?

Well, He’s unconventionally attractive (to some people).

They were pissed the second they both showed up in the animated short. (Though, Micheal Chu confirmed that Ashe and McCree were not fuck buddies).

AAAAA I got a really good idea for a Christmas-exclusive concept for Wing-its. I’m kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner.

So, to say what the idea actually is; It’s basically YCH-like holiday pre-made card backgrounds. Hmmmm. I don’t know if they’ll get offered with this upcoming batch of wing-its but I’ll try to have it done by the next one after.

Anonymous asked: Yes, for everyone, actually. At most they can be mitigated but by the time you’re about 40 they show up.

Google Masahiro Sakurai and tell me that man looks almost 50. Do it, I dare you.

Reminder that Wing-its open tommorow~!

Anonymous asked: because signs of aging begin to show up in the 30s?

Not for everyone which is ultimately the point I was making.
