Overwatch/OW2 Theories: 2021 Archives Event

Sorry this is a really long post, I had a lot of fun with making this post, more fun than most of my other posts! Hope you like it! ~ Nova

Alright! The 2021 Lunar New Year event was one of the best so far. It was so hard to choose a favorite skin when we got Pale Serpent Widowmaker, Tiger Bob, and Kkachi Echo, but I am more excited for the 2021 Archives Event that will be coming up in the next month/month and a half. So, I’m going to be talking about what the event is, for anyone who doesn’t really know what the whole point of the Archives event is, and what skins I want. 

What is the Archives Event: basically, it is the event with the best challenge missions and some of the best skins(I think Halloween has best skins, fight me, but Retribution is the best game mode, Blackwatch is like a grumpy family and it’s great). Really the Archives Event is all about the lore of Overwatch. The skins are all based in the story, and we usually learn more about the story during the event. As an example, Orisa and Bastion’s Null Sector skins tie into the Omnic extremist group, Null Sector who shows up in the Uprising event. 

What skins I want:

D.Va Shooting Star Skin: in D.Va’s animated short Shooting Star, we get to see Hana in an Esports uniform and a Mechanics outfit. Either would be good, it would probably be an epic skin though. 

Sigma Scientist Skin: I want his outfit from his origin story when he was writing on a whiteboard... see-through-board... the name of the board doesn’t matter! Just give me a Sigma skin that has him in semi-normal clothes. 

Brigitte Ironclad Skin: Torbjorn has an skin called Ironclad and I think Brigitte should also have one similar to it. We know that both Torbjorn and Brigitte have Ironclad Guild tattoos on their outer shoulders, Brigitte’s is on her left while Torbjorn’s is on his right. 

Zenyatta Shambali Skin: I want this skin because of fanart I saw in a video about possible Archives Event skins. I think it’s cool because we know that Zenyatta was part of the Shambali Monastery with Mondatta, so it would be a good way to relate back to the lore and create a awesome lookin’ skin. 

Ashe Deadlock Rebels Skin: the Deadlock Rebels novel by Lyndsay Ely that will come out in June 2021 has a really cool color with Deadlock McCree and Ashe in a cool lookin’ red, white, and black outfit. So yeah, I want it.  

Echo Null Sector Skin: like I mentioned early, Orisa and Bastion have Null Sector skins, so I think it would be cool of the Overwatch Devs. to also make Echo look like she is in Null Sector. 

Symmetra skin: I don’t know what type of skin would work for her, she already has Viskar skins for her basic legendaries and she got a Marammat skin for her special event, so I’m not sure, but she hasn’t gotten a lootbox legendary skin since the 2018 Winter Wonderland Event and I would like more Symmetra content.  

Also, if you want to learn a little more about what this year’s Archives event might look like, check out Master Ian Gamer’s video about the 2021 Archives Event - Start date, New Skins, and other predictions. 

Anyway, I think that I’ll either make a post about Ana or Hanzo next. I’ll also put together a couple master lists of all of my post to not just make it easier for anyone interested in my theories to look at the different posts I’ve made, but to make it easier for me to find my old posts.

TLDR: For the 2021 Archives Event, all about the Overwatch lore, I want a D.Va skin based off Shooting Star, a Sigma Scientist skin, a Brigitte Ironclad skin, a Zenyatta Shambali skin, an Ashe Deadlock Rebels skin, an Echo Null Sector skin, and a Symmetra skin of some sorts. 

Overwatch Events: April Fools

It’s April Fools and that means that the googly eyes are back. I’m not sure how far back the Overwatch team has done this for, since I started playing Overwatch in December 2019, but on April Fools day all of the Overwatch character get googly eyes. This year, though, the Overwatch team also added googly eyes on the payloads. It’s awesome! I got photos of my favorite characters with googly eyes.  Sorry for the quality of the photos.

Also, if you haven’t gotten the Midas Roadhog skin or the Good vs. Evil Echo skin, you have until April 6th to get them. Finally, I’m going to work on my post about an ex-Blackwatch tank and it should hopefully be out soon. Hope you all have a good April Fools! ~ Nova

It’s live y’all! Houston Outlaws vs Dallas Fuel! First map is Busan! Go watch on the Overwatch League YouTube!

Overwatch Events: Ashe's Deadlock Challenge

I predicted it! I guessed that we would be getting a skin challenge event for Ashe in celebration of Deadlock Rebels by Lyndsay Ely, and I was right! Starting on June 22nd, then ending on July 5th we will be able to win items with the theme of Deadlock Ashe. Along with a skin, I think we will get a player icon and spray. I would love to get an emote instead of a spray, but I think a spray is more likely.

Overwatch Events: Poolside Ashe

Alright, we got another cool Summer Games Event skin! I think that this year has had some of the best Summer Games skins. Tomorrow, once the 2021 Summer Games Event has started, you will be able to get Poolside Ashe. Although I like the Mermaid Symmetra skin more, I really like this skin! I especially love Ashe's white to pink ombre hair and Bob's flamingo hat.

Overwatch Events: 2021 Winter Wonderland Skin Ideas

Alright, so I know that I said that I was going to cover the first issue of New Blood over last week's break, but I just wasn't able to get it done. So, I think I am going to push that off until later when I have more motivation to actually do it. I was just kind of busy over the break. My family hosted Thanksgiving this year, I have been sick for the past few days, I have a decent amount of catching up to do in terms of school work, and I have about 2 weeks of school left until the Winter break and it's just been a lot!

So, I wanted to just do something kind of simple and fun, and my brain immediately went to the upcoming Winter event(I can't believe it's already December). Now, enough of me rambling, on to the ideas! Heads up, this is kind of a long one, I didn't realize how long this would get, but oh well!

I will be referencing Master Ian Gamer's Hero's skin chart in this video for who I think should be getting Winter Wonderland skins. Watch the video if you want more information about why I picked out the heroes I did. (Also, sorry some of the images are really big. It just came out that way).

Ashe: The only winter skin Ashe has is her Epic skin, Winter. Considering Ashe got a Legendary skin during this year's Summer Games Event, I believe it is less likely that she will get a skin, but still possible. If she were to get a skin, I think it should be based on her Snowball Fight spray which I think could be an Epic or Legendary skin.

Baptiste: Baptiste has no Winter Wonderland skin. I think that he could get an Epic or Legendary skin since he doesn't have one already. I think it would be cool if he got a skin, Epic probably, but maybe Legendary based on his Snowball Fight spray.

D.Va: Like Baptiste, D.Va doesn't have a Winter Wonderland skin. I think that she should get a Legendary skin since she hasn't gotten a skin in over a year, her last skin being her 2020 Halloween Terror skin, Shin-Ryeong. I think that a Legendary skin that turns Tokki(D.Va's mech) into a sleigh would be really cool and I think that it would fit well with Maddy Jean's Festive D.Va(left/upper image, I don't know how it will look depending on the device you're using). Otherwise, an Epic skin could be based on D.Va's Ornament spray (right/lower image).

Genji: Since Genji just got an Epic skin with the Halloween Terror Event, if he got a skin, I think it would end up being a Legendary skin. Genji does not have a Winter Wonderland skin, but, like D.Va, I think a decent skin for him would be based on his ornament spray. Although, I think giving Genji a casual skin to match with Hanzo would be really cool.

Orisa: Orisa does not have a Winter Wonderland skin, but she has some of the coolest fan concepts for the Winter Wonderland Event! Kai Chang on Artstation created this amazing Reindeer Orisa concept art(left/upper) and Maddy Jean on Artstation also created her own rendition of Reindeer Orisa(right/lower). I think that both of these skins would end up being Legendarys if they were added to the game.

Wrecking Ball: Like most of the other characters on this list, Wrecking Ball does not have a Winter Wonderland skin. I think that they could make an Epic skin based on his Stocking spray(left/upper), but I also think they could make a snowball or snowglobe-themed Legendary skin. An example of a Snowglobe themed skin would be the image posted by Devygone on Reddit(right/lower).

Anyways, if you got through all of that, thanks for reading everything! I hope you all are having a good December so far. Once the 2021 Winter Wonderland Event starts, I will go through all of that stuff. I will go through issue #1 of New Blood whenever I get to it.

What skin ideas do you guys have or what skin concepts do you like? Now, have a good day or night, or whatever time it is where you are! Bye! ~ Nova

Overwatch Events: 2022 Lunar New Year

Alright, the 2022 Lunar New Year event has begun! But, there's only five skins in total this time which sucks. With that being said, in an article by Liz Richardson, an Overwatch spokesperson explained that there are "more Legendary skins planned in 2022 than any year prior" which could be either: more legendary skin with the yearly events, more OWL legendary skins, or (maybe) legendary skins that correspond to character challenges.

Anyways, this event you will be able to get Nezha Tracer and Seolbim Mercy for 3000 Credits each. Once you win 27 points (a win is 2 points and a loss is 1 point) you will unlock the weekly challenge skins. Week 1 is Prosperity Ashe, week 2 is Auspicious Soldier: 76, and week 3 is Porcelain Wrecking Ball. Out of the three I think Porcelain Wrecking Ball is my favorite and I think that it's one of his best skins overall.

You will also be able to unlock two new emotes (Widowmaker and Genji) and one new Highlight Intro (Zenyatta) along with the many voice lines and sprays that always come with the yearly events.

I will be making a skin ranking list soon, so keep your eyes out for that, and I hope you guys are enjoying the event so far! ~ Nova.

Omnics and Sexuality

I've posted about omnic characters' gender identity, so now let's talk about sexuality. I know lots of fanartist and fanfiction writers will give them genitals or make it so that playing with their wires will achieve something like an orgasm. My hc is that omnics can't feel physical pain or pleasure. Some like the emotional closeness of sex acts, some have no strong feelings about it and will do it for their partners' sake, some are actively grossed out by it, and everywhere else on the sexuality spectrum.

Zenyatta: Maybe Demisexual or Asexual. If my memory of the lore is correct, him becoming a wandering guru meant that he is not officially a monk anymore? So if he wanted to, he could try intimacy. But I hc that he's never really thought about it or experienced a want for that sort of intimacy. So, at this point in his life, his sexuality is very undefined. I don't think he's even seen a human naked. His anatomy knowledge is that guys have a penis, girls have vaginas. What actually are these things? No idea!

Ramattra: would die before having a human partner. So I hc that his sexuality would just be a copy of his omnic partner's. If taking off their clothes and touching each other is what they need to feel connected, Ramattra will oblige. If physical intimacy is completely out of the question, that's great. As long as they can still cuddle, hug, and hold hands.

Bastion and Orisa: despite being war machines created for combat and bloodshed, I hc they are mentally very young and probably don't understand what sex is. Maybe in a couple years, they'll mature and do some self-discovery. But right now, they have no more sexuality then a human child does.

Lynx Seventeen: Pansexual. Attracted to confidence, reliability, generosity, and loyalty. When their partner, omnic or human, trusts them enough to be vulnerable and intimate with them, they take it VERY seriously. With an omnic partner, they will ask 20 questions about how best to satisfy and make them feel loved. With a human partner, they take it as a mission of utmost importance to figure out how to give this particular human the best orgasm of their life. Lynx will have a stopwatch in one hand and a spreadsheet on the nightstand, archiving data on what actions get the desired responses. After they shatter your world, be prepared to take a survey on how good it was for you.

Bob: idk if there's a word for it, but he is attracted to femininity, regardless of the actual gender or gender identity of the person. On omnic rocking heels and a backless dress? Yes, please. A male human with makeup on point and nails perfect for running down his body? So sexy. A tiny waist to grab onto? Long, slender legs? Soft, sweet hair? Be still, my beating heart!

Luna: bisexual. Sees beauty in masculinity and feminity. Her type is short, sweet, energetic, and friendly. LOVES a short king that isn't scared to let her take charge. Has to be good with PDA and lovey-dovey stuff.

Maximillen: Straight. Wants feminine women. Considers it an ego boost to be the one to enjoy a beautiful woman, and be chosen by her over a male human.

I think omnics would be very close to the LGBT+ community because they both experience similar hate and being told how to live or identify.

Overwatch characters watching your kid

I've been thinking about writing some silly short stories about OW characters getting stuck watching someone's kid, but I figured I would make this guide for my headcannon for the kind of babysitter each of them would be.

Brigitte and Reinhardt would make you the most nervous with their methods. Lots of rough-housing, throwing them around and into the air, giving your kid sugar, letting them climb things, and overall just encouraging mayhem and rule-breaking. "You mom/dad doesn't let you do this at home? Well, they're not here, are they?" Your kid will come home thoroughly exhausted, but bitter about you not being as fun as they are.

Orisa would make the same mistakes as Brigitte and Reinhardt, but more out of ignorance and inexperience. Like letting your kid stay up too late, because she doesn't understand why going to bed at a decent time is important, or feeding them something that makes them sick because that's what they said they wanted to eat. Unintentionally lets your kid walk all over her, but once you teach her how it's done, she'll be your go-to option when you need a break.

Zenyatta would be so intrigued by the natural imagination and curiosity of children. He'd provide lots of different toys, art supplies, and time for unrestricted and uninstructed play. A one-man enrichment program. Just don't try to tell him there are boy toys and girls toys. Your kid will be allowed to play with whatever they want. He would also unironically have a blast playing pretend with dolls or action figures. I'm talking a 25-part narrative with backstories, lore, worldbuilding, and an Endgame-style final conflict.

Genji, Kiriko, Tracer, and B.O.B would be the kings and queens of "don't tell your parents." Extra screen-time, taking them out for ice cream, staying up a little later then their normal bedtime, etc. What I would call "a healthy amount of rule-breaking." They have everyone else convinced they are Responsible™ but you can't help noticing that your kid is always excited to hangout with them.

Ana and Torbjorn could be depended on the same way you can trust grandma and grandpa. They've had kids, so they know all the tips, tricks, and games to keep your kid clean, fed, safe, and happy. Just don't tell them some dumb shit like "organic, non-gmo fruits only." Your kid will be eating bananas from the supermarket like everyone else. But for more sensible rules, even the ones they don't agree with, they will follow them.

Echo will make you fill out a 200-question survey and write an essay on how you want your kid cared for. She will follow every instruction down to the letter, and send you updates every 30 minutes. If your kid sneezes, she will call you to ask about it. The downside is your kid will probably hate her for being such a rules monger.

Baptiste, Illari, Lucio, and Sojourn would try so hard to be responsible and follow your instructions, but puppy-eyes work on them 80% of the time. Your home will look like a warzone when you get back, but they'll help you clean up.

Lifeweaver, Pharah, Mei, and Zarya would get a whiff of that specific smell babies have that makes your DNA scream at you to make one yourself. They would be the sweetest, most gentle caretakers on this list. They'll spend most of the time snuggling on the couch, watching T.V. and drinking hot coco. Would let your kid give them a makeover, paint their nails, and play with their hair. Would read to and rock them to sleep, tuck them in really snug. They'd probably look forward to seeing your kid again, and every time you happen upon one of them, they'll only ask what's going on with the kiddo.

Sombra, Symmetra, and Widowmaker would rather be water-boarded then spend five minutes with those sticky-fingered cunt goblins you call kids.

Ashe, Hanzo, and Winston would happily agree to babysit for you, thinking they will be serviceable at it. How hard could it be? Then an hour later they call you, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and beg you to come back, because your kid is crying or throwing a tantrum. They definitely have the potential to be great caretakers, but they would need someone to walk them through it at first.

Bastion and Sigma definitely WANT to give babysitting a try, but they understand why that's probably not a safe idea. They would question your intelligence if you asked them.

Cassidy and D.va would take your kid to McDonalds or somewhere else with else with a play-place, and let them go wild while they sit on a bench nearby. They will do the bare minimum amount of work to keep your kid alive, because they have better things to do. Would only babysit as a favor for you if no one else is available.

Mercy is married to her work, and Ramattra is dedicated to his mission. If you somehow convince them to watch your kid for even a single hour, they'll set-up a playpen with whatever toys they like, toss in a sippy cup and snack every now and then, and ignore their existence while they do their usual business.

Doomfist, Moira, Reaper, and Soldier: 76 would tape your kid to a chair the first time it annoys them. I know there's the fandom joke of S76 being the dad of the team, but he's always come off as grumpy and impatient to me.

Your kid would love the junkers (Junker Queen, Junkrat, Roadhog, Wrecking Ball) for all the wrong reasons. They would teach your kid how to make a grenade launcher out of plastic bottles and rubber bands, 37 new swear words, and how to punch people in the throat. Unless you want to get a call from the school about your kid blowing up the chemistry room, I would choose literally anyone else to babysit.

Mauga would use your kids to get dates. He'll take your daughter to a dance class and talk to any single parents about how much of a family man he is and how difficult being a single dad. He'll take your son to play catch in a park so he has an excuse to take his shirt off and flex his muscles. He'll coach your kid to walk up to someone and say, "my uncle thinks your pretty, so maybe you can play with us."

Overwatch Valentine's Day Headcannons

My headcannons about how OW characters would treat you on Valentine's Day. Does NOT include Bastion, Echo, Orisa, Sigma, Winston, or Wrecking Ball

Baptiste, Hanzo, Lucio, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, and Tracer follow the classic moves. They will ask you to be their Valentine; it doens't matter how long you've been together, and they always seem excited when you say yes. They cancel any and all plans on the 14th, handle all the plans and reservations, and give thoughtful gifts that show how much they know about you and care for you. Valentine's Day is always the WHOLE day for them. However, they are laser-focused on the day being perfect, and a small inconvenience can stress them the fuck out.

B.O.B, Doomfist, Moira, Ramattra, and Zenyatta don't understand the holiday at all. You guys shower love on each other all year long, so they don't need the calendar's permission to express themselves to you. But if Valentine's Day is important to you, they will match you excitement and energy, and do their best to meet your expectations. If your not a fan of the holiday, they won't notice it passing every year.

Brigitte, Lifeweaver, Mei, Symmetra, and Zarya are the ones who want to be courted and doted on. They love to be asked to be your Valentine, or surprised with a romantic night. You'll notice them getting a little more upset with you as the day gets closer and you don't seem to be making any plans. They just like being treated like the royalty they are.

Ashe, Cassidy, Pharah, Roadhog, and Sombra ask you about a week in advance "What do you want to do for VD this year?" And whatever you answer, they will go along with, even though they would rather treat it like any other day. This is not from a lack of romance or interest in you, but just a lack on interest on the holiday.

D.Va and Mercy are busy with the schedule of being a celebrity and a doctor, Genji has spent the past few years adopting an "every day is important" mentality, Kiriko and Sojourn are putting most of their focus on their vigilante work, and Junkrat always has a flittering mind, so they all have a 20% chance of remembering at all.

Ana, Illari, Junker Queen, Mauga, Reaper, Soldier: 76, and Widowmaker are the bitter, cold-hearted fucks that roll their eyes at the holiday. If there's love in the air, they're spraying Febreze and wearing a gas mask.
