IM SOBBING ABT THESE

As his mother droned on about what she and his father planned on doing to him, Evan Knight decided he was living in a nightmare. It wasn’t like he was robbing banks! The Seraph got uppity when people started fighting, but it never resulted in anything. Nothing scandalous like cousin Margaret stepping out with the baker’s daughter. A commoner, really? So what if he drank? Everyone he knew drank! His father drank!

But Mother was being entirely irrational about the whole thing and one of the bitties from her sewing circle was whispering to her again as another way to ‘put him on the straight and narrow.’ As if he was meant to be on that path.

“Listen to your mother,” his father growled in his ear and Evan had to resist the urge to jump out of his seat. The man was famously silent on his feet.

“It’s only two weeks, darling,” Demitricia Knight paused in the act of packing his clothes. Like he was some child instead of a grown man who didn’t need his mother’s assistance with everything. “And when you come back, things will be more peaceful. Sedate. You can begin courting one of the nice young ladies I’ve been bringing up to you. All will be well.” She turned to him and smiled, as if her words would change the universe to suit her opinions.

He felt the heavy hand of his father on his shoulder and the sharp, near-painful squeeze. So Evan spoke with tact. “I’m sure you’re right, Mother. I’ll take the time to think on things and come back a changed man.” He glanced up at his father as if to ask, ‘Are you happy?’ As usual, the man’s eyes were on his wife, smiling in a charming way. His father did everything he could to mold the world to his mother’s whims. And that meant molding him as well. The idea of willingly stepping into such an arrangement with a woman made him physically ill. But he didn’t have to tell them the truth. Lies worked just as well and kept both of them from yelling at him.

The coachman interrupted before he could get into anymore trouble and Evan was quickly ushered out the door.

“Do write to us,” his mother called, waving a handkerchief. His father gave him a solemn nod, which Evan returned. They understood one another better than his mother, even if they each deplored the other’s choices.

“I’ll see you in two weeks,” he replied from the coach window.

When the coach was on its way, Evan opened the hollow seat where the liquor was stored. This trip would require a drink. A lot of drink.

It was empty.

Cursing, Evan flung himself back into the seat of the coach, sorely tempted to try to jump from the window, even at speed. Two weeks, he thought to himself. Surely I can handle that much.

It was a long ride.

“My masculinity is NOT fragile!!! I’ll prove it!!!! I’ll BEAT UP WOMEN!!!!”

Overwatch has a pile of story you should know about

Whoa oh no the Overwatch open beta is over what are we going to do now

Here’s something to keep you occupied: Overwatch has a veritable mountain of story hidden away in all the profiles, character descriptions, news releases, cinematics and everything else that’s been released. Really good story. Normally you’d be going ‘how the heck am I supposed to keep track of all of this,’ we know - which is why we’ve been piecing it all together for you

Overwatch and the Omnic Crisis - covers the formation of Overwatch and what the heck happened to make it all fall apart. Basically the foundation of Overwatch’s story.

Space Gorillas and Test Pilots - covers Winston and Tracer’s origins, and the weird possibility that apparently there’s still some kind of angry space gorilla infested moon colony up there.

Robots With Soul - WHAT THE HECK IS AN OMNIC why don’t they just call them robots what makes them different and why you should probably love Bastion even though, you know, he’s probably going to kill you a lot

Fallen Heroes - What’s up with Soldier: 76 and Reaper? What went down when Overwatch was disbanded, and why is Reaper so….reaper-y?

Junkrat and Roadhog - Weirdly even though these guys are supposedly comic relief and all that they’ve got a pretty sad backstory that says a lot about the state of the world after Overwatch fell apart

The Shimada Clan - Hanzo and Genji have a lot of beef with each other, probably because they tried to kill each other. Here’s why

Widowmaker and Talon - Who is Talon? Why are they in every Overwatch animated short? What are they up to, anyway? And who is the elusive and deadly Widowmaker?

Zarya and the second Omnic Crisis - You think the first Omnic Crisis was bad? Prepare for part two.

Symmetra and Lúcio - What’s the beef between these two? Is Symmetra a bad guy? Maybe not, but the company she’s working for is pretty shady

McCree and the Deadlock Gang - IT’S HIGH NOON and McCree’s a former outlaw who decided to be a good guy until he decided not to. Or maybe he still is

Overwatch’s ongoing story - So how does all this stuff hook together in the cinematics? Where is the story going from here? Why isn’t any of this actually in the game - and why is that potentially a good thing?
