hey hell yeah, you're actually at least the second person to recommend this!! thank you!

what's funny is that i was JUST talking to a friend about camus recently (and they of course were like "who the fuck is that") because we read The Stranger in high school and i didn't really get it, but i think i'd get a lot out of it now.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ" byan. "

motions come to a HALT, dox stilling, statuesque, tensed so surely in endeavors to keep any further actions from being interrupted.

much like a fucking CAT, byan only ever wants attention during moments wherein dox is presently preoccupied ; all other instances, & they're nowhere to be found. ...not that dox seeks quality time with byan, the two of them co-existing comfortably in each other's space in a way that doesn't feel it requires further closeness, but fucking SHIT does the kid decide they WANT further closeness EVERY TIME DOX IS DOING SOMETHING ELSE .

presently, dox is working on repairing some of the mechanics of 15's arm ; the kid had stated he didn't need it right away, & dox knows that's a statement of CONSIDERATION, but he still promised to get it done ASAP ; ㅤㅤAs Soon As People (Stop Being Fucking Brats) .

                                         " SORRY - i think i misheard you. "

words would be SPAT if not reigned back by CLENCHED TEETH ; the idea that the two bore resemblance was LAUGHABLE - or, it WOULD be, if the claim was worthy of any HUMOR beyond WRY.

it's not a statement he takes PERSONALLY, his life of STRIKE COMMANDER long-gone & GRATEFULLY at that---the organization of overwatch had become a thing TAINTED to him, but the IDEALS it stood for were worth fighting for ; & TALON had sought to DESTROY IT because it didn't align with their OWN agenda.

                                    so no, it's not PERSONAL, but it strikes a nerve.

           he doesn't MISS his old role,            but it had granted him the opportunity to meet incredible people---            brilliant minds, dedicated companions, survivors---

                                     " 'cause i don't think you just implied the                                          operatives of overwatch as TERRORISTS,

oh SHIT these are fucking awesome, thanks for that recommendation. here's a tumblr post with some pictures, if anyone else is interested
