"A valuable lesson, I think."

This is just a sideblog, idk if I'll share my main but all u have 2 know abt me is that I am not comfortable with adult/nsfw content and if ur blog consists of it then please do not follow, thank uuu... I'll still probably discuss mature themes tho, I just don't want any sexual material on my page or being shown 2 me. Thx 4 understanding...

Also I am personally not a fan of symmweaver so U should follow one of the other one gajillion symmweaver blogs around here. In fact I probably will not be discussing Niran in ships like at all except for a few sparse posts maybe but I would rather look at him individually instead of only in the context of his relationships with others. I wont be like.... hateposting abiut any particular ships tho so dont worry lala.

WAHTEVER THE CASE i hope my blog brings some of u joy... I love lifeweaver so much

tysm 2 @OW2voicelines on twitter for keeping track of all these, they're like, the one resource for viewing brand new interactions so I appreciate them very very much <3

OK SO FIRST IM GOING TO COMPILE. ALL THE NEW DIALOGUE BETWEEN HANZO KIRI & GENJI BECAUSE OOHHJAHAAJAHAH.

I THINK ALL OF THE NEW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE THREE HINT AT A SHIMADA/KAMORI REUNION IM SO EDXCITED OM OAAOIEIAEHEHEJEHGEHEE... JUST READ..

Genji saves Hanzo from dying: "Stay sharp, brother."

THE TONE IS SO DIFFERENT... HES LOOKING OUT FOR HIM... THEY'RE CLOSER NOW... UAAH

Genji saves Kiriko from dying: (Japanese): "How uncharacteristic, Kiriko."

no particular note abt this otehr than that I like seeing them being friendly! Aweee

Kiriko saves Hanzo from dying: "Watch where you're headed, Shimada!"

shes ALWAYS looking out for Hanzo in her dialogue to him, but she soudns different.. I SWEAR...

Genji witnesses Kiriko get a kill: "Kiriko, you make everything look easy."

LIKE I SAID BEFORE... the complements just feel Different... more friendly and joyful... they definitely feel closer than before? AM I MAKING SENSE

Hanzo witnesses Kiriko get a kill: "I feel sorry for the Hashimoto."

this made me scream so loud DUDE HES BEING KIND. TO KIRIKO? AND TALKING ABOUT THE HASHIMOTO? IM GONNA HURT EVERYONE ADND HTEN MYSELF YOURE JOOKIGN. NIO WAY...

OKAY. AND THE MOST DAMNING ONES OF ALL. IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY JUST TYPING THEM BREH THEY CHANGED MY LIFE.

Hanzo witnesses Genji get a kill: "Not bad, brother."

Genji witnesses Hanzo get a kill: "A fine shot, brother."

yore fuckign joking me. youre kidding? youre killing me? stabbing me 100 times? oh my god? hanzo? calls Genji his brother? in a not backhanded way? he GIVES GENJI A COMPLIMENT? HIS COURTEOUS ASS! IM GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND GENJI CALLS HIM BROTHER IN THE SAME TONE TOO... FUYUCK... oh and kiri compliments him for a kill two different times but im bored of typing & that's kind of typical for them so yeah. THE HANZO AND GENJI/HANZO AND KIRI STUFF WAS REALLY YWHAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT OK. THE WORLD IS CHANGING... MY LIFE IS CHANGING.... IM DYING & COMING BACK TO LIFE... FUUUOOOCK.

-Hanzo complements Ana! He always shows interest in other snipers & it makes sooo much sense Obv but I dont think he's said anything to Ana beefore? i can't remember at least... so that's interesting.. ? i think im forgetting somethingggg

-sorrry i have to be a faggg for a second but omg. HANZO AND CASS INTERACTIOSN... TWO... OVERWATCH LOVES MEEEE... HERE THEY R:

Hanzo witnesses Cassidy get a kill (1): "Anyone can kill with bullets."

Hanzo witnesses Cassidy get a kill (2): "An undignified kill, but a kill nonetheless."

..do with that what u will.... i really liek the 2nd line because it kidn of reverses the first one. like. actually i think youre perfectly good at killing even tho ur so lazy and use a gun. Like. yes. yes... yes..

-Hog compliments hanzo? so do Hazard & Zarya... i see.. is ee..

OK... NOW EVERYTHING I WANT TO POINT OUT ABIUT LIFEWEAVER'S NEW DIALOGUE BECOS THERE IS A LOOOOT.

!!he has a lot of new stuff with Moira!! It's very interesting too... here are the save voicelines.

Moira saves Lifeweaver from dying (1): "Are your thorns just for show?"

Moira saves Lifeweaver from dying (2): "Must you be coddled, Pruksamanee?"

Moira witnesses Lifeweaver get a kill: "(hmph...) A stinging nettle."

...moira nd life... so interesting... they seem so oddly connected? It inrtigues me.... moiras kind of hot too.... unrelated..

-URGHHHH NIRAN TRYIGN TO TALK TO ILLARI IS SOOOOO SO SWEET HIS VOICE IS SO GENTLE OTS SUCH A CONTRAST I love Hearing him more gentle Also people caring about Illari is just great to see I hope they interact more... she deserves 2 be heard aweee ohhh....

-I LOVE LIFE SAYING "You really are that girl, Satya" BECUAUUSEEEE IM REALLY GAY ADN ALSO IT'S JUST CUTE AWW i love their relationship a lot Idc if u see it as romantic or platonic I just like their dynamic iether way. So fun!! I also just like seeing them be friendly considering.. everythang. IMEAN they hardly have any negative interactions but Idk i just love Joy.

-oh yeah all his new little random lines to Satya r soo cute Again I like to see them as platonic but gosh i know the symmweaver fans are losing their midns irght now and Ykw. Im happy for u guys. Enjoy ur full course meal! anywayyyss umm im a huge fagot oh my days... lifewaever so charming...

-Also, another note... Niran eats pizza with ketchup... ooh we r finally seeing how his troubled home life has affected him... poor thing....someone help him

-The interaction between Hog & Life abt pulling people aroudn amde me smile I think about that often when I play him... also Life trying to take him out to tea.... how bold...

-also yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah the orisa interaction w/ life is Sooo so so teasing the Arcology... im so excited Oohh im ganna DIE OH IAMMAAHGKAGOAGGHG

-To hazard, when questioned about his blond hair: "goodness, no. I was just born this dashing." I need this man DEAD ooh good lird

-Speaking of, I love how cemented Lifeweaver's sort of neutral position is, with him havign so many neutral/positive interactions between all sorts of characters, now including Hazard! I like how he mentions theyre both on the run!! I liek this!! THIS ALSO GOES FOR W/ ASHE I LIKE HOW HE'S NICE TO ASHE. ALSO. THE CONNECTION SUGGESTED BETWEEN THEM IS SO INTERESTING? he saw her parents at parties? They both have a distaste for the rich? but had a wealthy upbringing? oohh they really are so similar... I wonder where this will go... or if it'll just stay in the pre-game dialogue... who knows!

-THE FUCKINGB INTERACTION WITH SOMBRA. paraphrasing here, but: "You've got to have some dirt on you" --"Only when I'm gardening, I fear." yass... i ahte to say it but he ate her the Fuck Up... Destroyed!

-Speaking of Sombra, & sort of a side-note: I like how Sombra's save voicelines to fellow Talon members are all pretty harsh, except when she saves Sigma, where her tone is more light & reprimanding rather than annoyed. It is really sweet that Sombra is like, the one character to care for Sigma, especially while he's being messed with by Moira... all the "villains" have such complex motives like that, I love it!!

AND HANZO COMPLIMENTS KIRI TOO. THEY ALL COMPLIMENT EACHOTEHR WHEN THEY KILL NOW . WORLD HUNGER JUST GOT SOLVEDF CANCER IS CURED BIRDS ARE SINGING AMONG US BABIES ARE BORN OM CRYING IM SCREAMING IM CLAWING MY EYES OIT OF MY FACEC IM GONNA DO A BACKFLIP FRONT FIP 360 DIVE IN THE AIR OH MY FOD

Spoilers (sort of?) for Where Honor Lives & Rebuilding Ruins from Heroes Ascendant! As well as vague spoilers for Stone by Stone (haven’t read it yet 💔 jusy know a little bit)

HANZOOOOOOOOOOO FUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIICKCKKKK HE ACTUALLY VISITED KIRIKO AND HER MOM FINALLLYYYYYYYOAAUHHRHG

there r so many interactions between the two where Kiri bugs him to come visit and talk to Asa and I think this is perhaps the most recent like? Update? We have? On Hanzo’s whereabouts? Potentially Kiri’s as well? I did read where honor lives a while back so last I know they were together fighting off Null Sector & the Hashimoto in Kanezaka, Right? Or he at least agreed to stay there with her. Excitingg! It’s at least very sweet to know he’s staying with them… the panel itself is so cute tooo awwww hanzo looking relatively at ease is so pleasant and I think it is fun to see them interacting more like family especially considering how tense things have been between them!

I’m being really optimistic here but I really really really hope that next year we get a continuation of Overwatch’s story PAST like. A day after the recall… I feel like this litle comic is sort of trying to push things along and I appreciate that but things have been pretty repetitive for a while now with a lot of story stuff so who knows how much longer they’ll be dragging it out for..,, I just want to see a Shimada family reunion some dayyyyy…. 💔 anyways

LIFEWEAVERERRRE……FUUIOOOOOOCKKKKKK….

I already saw another very insightful post about this whose author I unfortunately cannot recall (u know the one… u Must…) but it is very meaningful to see him here ooohhh!! It’s so sweet that they’re all together especially too omg. I have yet to read Stone by Stone but I know Satya and Zen meet and become friends? And I don’t know if this happened before or after the events of Rebuilding Ruins bur like ooh…. ohhh…. How sweeeettt… anyways… The Implications…

So this means Zen and Niran have talked for sure.. and it also means that currently in the story (I think?? The Christmas comic is like the latest? Event? Chronologically? Is it? It seems like it? I really need to check omg) Niran is staying with them both? Temporarily? Oohhh this is meaningful. Oohhh. Whenever I see characters who aren’t part of Overwatch talking to ones who are I want to say Oohhh so they are joining Overwatch Now! But it just sort of came to me that Niran sort of has the whole thing with the Arcology BUT LIKEEE Overwatch is operating illegally and Niran is being chased by a corporation so I mean… he could potentially seek refuge there? But also idk about possibly bringing the existence of Overwatch to another powerful entity’s attention by him being there so like. Maybe not. Many possibilities! Either way it seems he is safe with them for now….awwww….also I recognized those little flowery things in front of them but couldn’t for the life of me remember what map they’re in, I googled at like 2 am last night trying to find it but I fell asleep. And I don’t feel like hopping on just to check but surely other people have better memories than me and have already pointed out where they’re at,,,
