Filthy Mercy Main

So i was gonna wait until january to post this to mark it’s one year anniversary, but in light of tumblr exploding possibly on the 17th i figured a few days early wouldn’t hurt ;) THANK YOU to all my patrons -past, present & future for your support, it means the whole gosh-darned world! 

All the lore that rolled through should be a breath of fresh air to the Mchanzo fandom but instead I see all this anger and aggression. Let me let you in on a secret: her lore makes McCree a better candidate for Hanzo and I will tell you how.

Originally, complaints about Mchanzo stem from them living in completely different and unrelatable backgrounds. But we have recently learned that McCree was a FOUNDER of Deadlock. He was no lackey, but the second head of a criminal organization. He redeemed himself and has taken to a life on the run. Meaning that he understands the path Hanzo is trying to take and is more equipped to help him.

He is no paragon of justice. He understands the moral grey area of life. When Ashe had the train derailed, he was focused on his goal and considered the other goods collateral. He has always lived in the moral grey area (deadlock, blackwatch, mercenary) and it has clearly affected his decision making. He clearly had a rough upbringing since Deadlock became his family, meaning his own home life was lacking. McCree and Hanzo will probably both been wanting for a close family structure, and he won’t get hung up on Hanzo’s past. Free ticket to slide up in those DMs.

Tl;DR: McCree isn’t the country hick we make him out to be and is definately capable of standing as Hanzo’s equal. He has compassion, tact, and quick wit. And we know this thanks to Ashe. So I love her. ;P

Aerial superiority.
