so hanzo goes to kaiba corp on a mission from overwatch to investigate kaiba’s tech and make sure talon doesn’t steal it. he goes undercover as a business associate as to not give away the situation to kaiba
in their interactions the two realize they’re pretty similar and have a begrudging respect for each other and feel as though there’s some kind of… deeper connection
eventually talon does come for the technology and hanzo breaks his cover to fend them off. kaiba sees hanzo summon his dragons and becomes fascinated with hanzo, realizing they’re what draws him to hanzo beyond their similarities
hanzo is able to protect the tech and kaiba essentially has him stick around as a bodyguard until he can up his security. kaiba bugs hanzo about the dragons and at this point they actually grow to be really good friends (which is really significant bc they are themselves and they have no friends so them making snarky remarks at each other and talking about dragons is like….. wrow and they are having a good time for once)
but eventually kaiba looks into hanzo’s background on his own (by hacking into overwatch’s database), he discovers what hanzo did to genji and is
disgusted
and then he kicks out his friend hanzo and angst idk someone else take over
OK OK I GOT IT
kaiba kicks hanzo out bc he’s so appalled by how hanzo could do that his own brother but then talon attacks again and hanzo comes back to save him BUT THIS TIME WITH GENJI and kaiba sees that maybe he’s not quite the absolute scum of the earth after all 🙂
also at some point in the story kaiba jams someones gun with a card
ok im done please help me make the horrible ideas inside of my fevered mind a reality
I CAN FINALLY POST THIS. This here’s my final piece for the @oweventszine! I’ve never participated in Zine before, and I’m crazy happy to have gotten to be apart of this one.
If you’re interested in picking up a copy there’s a few left! All Profits are going to Doctors Without Borders!
This illustration I did months ago is finally seasonally relevant.
And his winter victory pose has actually sealed the deal now. I got stupidly excited when I saw the cup. I made a dumb post before but now it’s time to explain it better. Here’s the cup in question:
The pattern on the cup is Kowhaiwhai, Maori designs that are painted or carved mostly in Marae, but it’s also printed on stuff like blankets and shirts and cups. And we buy all of that shit. Your Aunty is gonna have the tea set, the blanket, the slippers and the plates.
The pattern on Roadie’s cup is a Mangopare which is the hammerhead shark. Though the one on the cup is a little simpler like the one seen here:
It represents strength and power. Makes total sense for Roadhog. And that’s it, that’s why he’s Maori and it’s exciting to see bits of your own culture made by people in other countries coz lbr… most Maori stuff is made by us coz who else is gonna make it if we don’t?
Hi OP I hope this is OK to add! Another indication of Roadhog being Māori is his bed in Junkertown, which also has kowhaiwhai patterns on it.
The shape of this kowhaiwhai is of koru, which are symbolic of new life and family.
