animation of a very funky little guy
I’m like trying to find all the hazard interactions and I really wasn’t expecting him to be that soft, empathetic, funny, sarcastic and throwing shade at the overwatch agents
And I’m actually really happy they didn’t give him that extremely cocky personality and gave him a really lovable personality and I quite enjoy that for him
Genji x Reader
Y/n works as a support, and her Genji loves visiting her when he can
The Overwatch base was bustling with activity as agents prepared for their next missions, but inside the medical bay, things were calm. Y/N was working alongside Dr. Angela Ziegler—Mercy—organizing supplies and preparing for the usual influx of injuries from the field. The air smelled faintly of antiseptic, and the soft beeping of medical machines provided a steady rhythm in the background.
Y/N glanced up from her work just in time to see the familiar figure of Genji Shimada entering the room. Even after all this time, the sight of him made her heart flutter. His sleek, cybernetic frame glimmered in the soft light, and though his face was hidden beneath his visor, she could always sense when he was smiling at her.
“Hey,” she greeted with a warm smile, setting down a set of medkits. “What brings you to the medical bay? Don’t tell me you’re injured.”
Genji chuckled softly, his voice gentle as ever, though slightly modulated by his mask. “No, no injuries today. Just thought I would visit my favorite healer.”
Y/N rolled her eyes playfully, walking over to him. “You know, Genji, this is supposed to be a professional environment.”
He tilted his head in mock contemplation. “Is it not professional to check in on someone who has saved your life many times?”
“Mm, maybe,” she replied with a grin, resting her hand on his arm. “But I think you just missed me.”
Genji chuckled again, his hand coming up to gently rest on hers. Even though his touch was mostly metal, she could feel the warmth and care behind it. “You caught me,” he admitted softly. “I just finished training and… I wanted to see how you were.”
Her heart swelled at the simple sweetness in his words. He always had a way of making her feel special, even when his approach was so casual.
Angela, who had been quietly observing from the other side of the room, gave Y/N a knowing smile before excusing herself to attend to other duties. “I’ll leave you two alone,” she said with a playful wink as she walked away.
Y/N turned back to Genji, shaking her head fondly. “She’s never going to let me live this down.”
Genji reached up, removing his visor so she could see the soft smile on his face, his human eye glowing with warmth. “Perhaps not,” he said, his tone teasing. “But I don’t mind if it means I get to see you.”
She blushed slightly at the sincerity in his words, and Genji took a step closer, closing the small gap between them. His hand moved to gently brush a strand of hair from her face, the touch light but full of affection.
“Thank you,” he said quietly, his voice softer now. “For everything you do—for me, for Overwatch. I know how hard you work.”
Her eyes softened as she gazed up at him. “You know I’m just doing my job,” she replied. “But… it’s nice to hear.”
“Your kindness is more than just a job,” Genji said, leaning down slightly. “It’s who you are. And it’s one of the reasons I…” He trailed off, but Y/N knew what he meant. She could feel it in the way he looked at her, in the way he held her close, as if she was something precious to him.
“Genji…” She smiled up at him, standing on her toes to place a soft kiss on his cheek. “You always know how to make me feel appreciated.”
He returned her smile, his arms gently wrapping around her waist as he leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. “You deserve to feel that way every day,” he whispered.
For a moment, the busy world of Overwatch seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in the peaceful quiet of the medical bay, wrapped up in each other’s warmth.
•Genji was smitten when he first saw you. Luckily you couldn’t see his face, the way he stared at you, completely speechless
•Young Genji wouldn’t have wasted a second, going up to you and letting his charms work
•But he has changed and so he tries a more subtle approach; Getting to know you better first by engaging you in chats more often
•There more he gets to know you the more he falls for you, which he, of course, notices
•Now he had been a playboy in his earlier days, woohing men and women alike, but if it comes to such things like love and a serious relationship, he’s quite inexperienced. Nothing he’s had so far lasted long enough, even habouring such strong feelings towards someone was foreign to him
•He won’t tell you right away. He meditated a lot and confined in Zenyatta, very hesitant about this, bevor making the decision to tell you about his feelings
•Despite accepting him the way he is, he still fears you won’t. Dating a cyborg is quite the peculiar thing, after all
•He would probably ask you to look at the night sky with him, admiring your face as you observe the stars, before gathering himself and confessing
•He is surprised and overjoyed when you say you feel the same. You can’t see it, but he’s got the biggest smile on his lips and that sparkle in his eyes
•Since then you’ve been slowly making your way towards a relationship, considering your occupation at Overwatch and what the both of you have gone through, it takes some time, but it’s worth it
•Will proudly introduce you to Zenyatta if you don’t already know him, and his hearts melts when you become friends with the omnic
•Genji isn’t a sucker for PDA per se, but expect soft gestures from him nevertheless, like holding your hand or actively searching for your company. In private he’s rather clingy though
•Someone once flirted with you, and oh boy he was at your side within seconds. At first he’s going to politely ask them to stop flirting and touching you, especially when it makes you uncomfortable. But if someone is really taking it to far with hitting on you he’s going to talk with a tone that sounds light, yet has a very dark and murdery undertone. After that, no ones dares flirt with you anymore
•The way he talks and acts is so very different now, you can really tell that he’s comfortable around you
•Apropos comfortable; You have to be patient with him, especially if it comes to revealing his past and his face to you. Poor him is gonna be very hesitant and nervous about it, fearing that his scars might make you turn away from him
•He almost cries tears of love and joy when you look at his face with the same loving gaze as always, telling him you’ll love him no matter what
•The longer your relationship goes on for, the more often he’ll take off his visor around you, savouring your touch on his skin
One of the most confusing subjects in the Sonic fandom is Silver’s backstory, the chronology of Sonic 06 and how it affects the characters. So in this post I’ll go over what we know about Silver’s backstory, its effects on his character, his involvement with Blaze and how the ending of Sonic 06 affects them.
Silver was born 200 years into a devastated future ravaged by the Flames of Disaster Iblis. The sky was always dark and the world was filled with endless wastelands ravaged by constant disasters and hostile Iblis spawn. The people are exhausted and live without hope. Iblis rampages and burns everything in its path. Silver has fought against Iblis for most of his life and tried to find the source of the disaster for just as long but no one could tell him how the world came to ruin.
This backstory informs Silver's character in the following ways:
Silver is a warrior. He is proficient in and enjoys fighting, has very aggressive determined expressions with constant fists and is a noted fighter(Shadow describes him as a fighter in Team Sonic Racing) whose power is respected by Sonic and Shadow. Silver is extremely powerful and capable of defeating small armies of enemies and giant monsters by himself. This stems from his apocalyptic background in the hostile future filled with Iblis minions and disasters such as flame tornadoes that he had to battle constantly. When you surprise him in Generations he is instantly ready to fight and angrily looks around, he comes from a world where all manner of Iblis spawn could attack at any given moment. It is explained in Silver's introduction story on Sonic Channel that Silver fought and struggled for half his lifetime, indicating that Silver fought against Iblis and its forces from a very early age.
Silver is naive, he has a black and white perspective and tackles things bluntly. He expects people to believe and cooperate with him when he says he’s from the future or explains outlandish things about his mission. He is earnest, he has no filter and acts unrefined when talking to people(which in Japanese is signified by his use of the informal "Ore" and "Anta" to address himself and others when he speaks). He sometimes takes things literally, misinterprets things or doesn't get jokes. He can also be unfamiliar with things in Sonic's time period. We don't know how people lived in the apocalyptic future or what they did and didn't have access to but it seems to be very rudimentary, destitute and even militarized as one of the glimpses into Silver's future from Sonic Pict shows him eating calorie bar rations that are described as apple flavored. Related to the above, Silver likely spent the majority of his time fighting.
Silver is also very pragmatic. He has a straight to the point mindset and hates distractions, frivolous details or just things getting in his way. As a survivor there is no room for pointless things for him.
On the flip side of that however, Silver is also wide-eyed. He loves challenges and experiencing fun new things he never had access to and is said to engage in cheerful activities following the historical change of 06.
Silver is incredibly optimistic and hopeful. He was able to fight through the hopeless ruined future world because he had the hope for a blue sky and the determination to keep fighting when everyone else had given into despair.
Most importantly of all however is Silver's deep love and drive for peace and prosperity. Silver is a very empathetic person that cares deeply for the state of the world and people around him. Note the beginning of his story in 06 where he expresses outrage at the state of his future with dark skies, endless wastelands and people that live in despair then contrast that with his later dialogue throughout the series where he expresses love for blue skies, beautiful vistas or just places where people live happily. Something as simple as a desert is beautiful to him simply because there is no destruction and the people are happy. Silver particularly loves and desires to protect smiles and blue skies because he came from a world that is stated to be filled with darkness and despair according to Sonic Team's Sonic Channel stories. Silver fights for peace and prosperity for the world and its people because he has experienced quite literal hellish suffering and devastation.
I also want to emphasize that Blaze isn't part of Silver's backstory and he didn't have her in his life in the apocalyptic future. Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka confirmed that Silver and Eggman Nega originate from the future while Blaze originates from her dimension and writer Ian Flynn has confirmed that Sonic Rush takes place before Sonic 06 with these answers on his podcast.
"I can't get too much into it because this is kind of internal stuff that has not been clarified publicly but Sonic Rush comes first, the Blaze of 06 is the Blaze of Rush and she doesn't die, she turns into Burning Blaze and warps back to her own dimension and forgets the events of 06."
"I don't know how much I can get into it without being given the official go-ahead, but Blaze is not from Silver's post-apocalyptic future. She is from her own dimension and it's extremely nuancey, but she doesn't really see or interact with Sonic until like the very very end of Silver's campaign. It's...an incredibly narrow loophole but she doesn't necessarily know that it's Sonic they're after. Again I'm sure someone can tear that apart very easily but suffice to say, I believe the intention is that she doesn't know that Silver is targeting Sonic specifically and she has no interaction with him or really anybody else in the main cast for that reason."
Meaning that Silver and Blaze only met shortly before the events of 06 and Silver faced the ruined future on his own before that point.
Things are gonna get a bit complicated here but Blaze only temporarily appearing in the future before being ripped away from Silver actually ties into their Tanabata parallel. In the story of Tanabata, Orihime(the princess) only descends to the world of Hikoboshi(the cow herder) for a short while before they are separated for neglecting their duties. At the end of Silver's story, Silver neglects his duty by refusing to seal Blaze away and so they are separated, only to ever meet again when crossing paths in Sonic's world.
When arriving in Wave Ocean, Blaze notes the world of the past. This is because Blaze seems to actually have amnesia.
According to Ian Flynn, the reason why Blaze was kept away from the cast besides Silver in 06 is as a narrow loophole to keep her from realizing it was Sonic they were after. In a 2012 Q&A for the Sonic Boom convention, Sonic Team Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka stated that the characters in 06 had amnesia and at the end of the Metal Virus arc in IDW we learn that rough inter-dimensional travel can cause amnesia which happens to Sonic when he crashes into Blaze's dimension. Blaze then reawakens Sonic's memories by reminding him of his super form, something that Blaze was kept from in 06.
What happens with Blaze in 06 as I understand it is that at some point prior to the events of the game Blaze was transported to the future where she developed amnesia upon arrival before joining Silver in his war against Iblis. They are deceived by Mephiles into trying to assassinate Sonic before Silver learns the truth and returns to the future to seal Iblis away, he is unable to do so however due to not being a compatible vessel and Blaze seals Iblis and herself away instead. Following the defeat of Solaris and the subsequent historical change, Blaze warps back to her Dimension and forgets the events of 06(according to Ian Flynn).
Silver also warps back to the future and forgets the events of 06 but not his apocalyptic life under the devastation of Iblis, only the events of 06 itself and his original partnership with Blaze which was clarified in his Fast Friends Forever profile that states he can't remember how his future was restored(as in the events of 06).
So yes, the ending of Sonic 06 doesn't change Silver or Blaze's backstories. Silver is still the apocalyptic warrior from Sonic 06 and Blaze is still the imperial princess from Sonic Rush before and after the events of 06.
The endings of both Silver’s Story and the Last Story of 06 tie into the game’s themes of duty, sacrifice and exchange.
“Do we have to sacrifice something in order to gain something?”
To gain something you have to lose something, to become a hero you must be willing to make sacrifices. Blaze sacrifices herself to save the future and in exchange for the peaceful happy future he always wanted, Silver, alongside everyone else, loses their memories of the events of 06.
But Silver's duty doesn't end there. He continues to protect the peace of the future as new disasters and changes in the timeline occur, and just like with Iblis, Silver will continue fighting them for a peaceful world.
Okay hear me out, Reader deciding to ignore Hazard for the day bc he did something and they thought this will teach him. Only for him to be like "Hen, Hen the love of my life please talk to me-"
“Silent Treatment"
Hazard x Reader
The morning sunlight streamed through the blinds as you went about your day with a silent determination. Hazard, your ever-charismatic and annoyingly smug boyfriend, had finally crossed a line last night. Maybe it was teasing you too much, or perhaps it was him forgetting that one thing you’d asked him a million times—but either way, you’d had enough.
It was time for payback.
The silent treatment.
You didn’t think he’d notice immediately, but you underestimated him.
“Oh, good mornin’, Hen” Hazard greeted you as you passed him in the kitchen. He was leaning against the counter, his blonde hair a tousled mess, his smirk as devilish as ever. “Did ye sleep well, or were ye too busy dreamin’ aboot me?”
Normally, you’d roll your eyes or fire back some sarcastic quip, but not today. Today, you said nothing. Not even a glance his way.
His smirk faltered, his brows furrowing slightly. “Uh… Hen?”
You poured yourself a cup of coffee, ignoring him completely. Hazard straightened, his sharp eyes now fixed on you as if trying to solve a particularly tricky puzzle.
“Did I dae somethin’ wrong?” he asked, his voice soft but uncertain.
You refused to answer, calmly walking out of the kitchen with your coffee in hand, leaving him standing there, utterly perplexed.
=====
By midday, Hazard was in full panic mode.
“Hen! Bonnie! Love o’ my life!” he cried, trailing after you as you folded laundry. His Scottish brogue was thick, his tone dripping with desperation. “Don’t dae this tae me. Yer silence is killin’ me!”
You kept your face neutral, carefully folding a shirt as if his dramatic pleas weren’t happening beside you.
“Please” he begged, practically throwing himself on his knees in front of you. “At least tell me whit I did so I can make it right! Dae ye need flowers? Chocolate? I’ll write a poem if that’s whit it takes!”
You bit the inside of your cheek to stop yourself from laughing as he grabbed the edge of the laundry basket, staring up at you with wide, pleading eyes.
=====
By evening, Hazard was trying everything.
He stood in the living room, holding a beat-up guitar you hadn’t even known he owned. “This one’s for you, Hen” he declared, strumming an absolutely dreadful chord.
Your curiosity got the better of you, and you peeked over the book you were pretending to read.
Hazard began singing in an exaggerated, heartfelt tone:
“Oh, Hen, my bonnie Hen,
I’ve gone and messed up again.
Yer silence it haunts me,
Like a ghost in the glen!”
It was so bad it was good. You couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled out of you.
“Ah-ha!” Hazard cried triumphantly, pointing at you with the guitar pick. “Caught ye! Ye laughed! Ye cannae resist me, can ye?”
Realizing you’d broken, you tried to smother your laughter behind the book, but it was too late. Hazard grinned, setting the guitar aside and plopping down beside you.
“So…” he began, his brogue softer now, “am I forgiven, lass, or do I need tae whip up another wee tune for ye?”
You sighed, lowering the book. “Fine, you’re forgiven. But only because that song was so bad, it felt like punishment enough.”
Hazard chuckled, throwing an arm around you and pulling you close. “Och, Hen, I’m glad tae hear it. But ye better tell me whit I did tae upset ye. I cannae risk this happenin’ again.”
You smirked, leaning into him. “Oh, I don’t think I will. It’s more fun keeping you guessing.”
Hazard laughed, pressing a kiss to your temple. “Yer pure evil, ye ken that? But I wouldn’t change a thing aboot ye.”
“So, how do we…?”
“I think it’s like…”
[ID FOR PIC ONE: A blue robot/Exo (Cayde 6) and a woman with black hair and green earrings (Jessie) sit side by side. Cayde’s hand is on the back of Jessie’s neck. Their expressions are longing/intent. ID FOR PIC TWO: Cayde and Jessie, still sitting side by side, are kissing. Their expressions are blissful.]
Just changed the exposure on the pic so you can see it better - the original was REALLY dark. You can find it here: https://meyar-ahraan.tumblr.com/post/614369283913482240
Thank you to @kyloxmoegi1993 for sharing this one with me! ❤️ Absolutely in love with it! I swear, this could’ve been taken in his and Ais’s apartment! LOL!
“We lose so much in this life. Any life. All lives, really…
But this life… This Last-Safe-City, end-of-all-things kinda life…?
- Cayde-6
guess who’s been thinking about the Nightstalker Quest from Taken King againnnn
could I ask for some Hazard relationship headcannons?
I got you pookie and thank you for being one of my first request!
- Endless Banter
Your relationship is built on teasing and banter. Hazard has a sharp tongue and a dry sense of humor, and he loves when you can keep up with his witty remarks. It’s a constant back-and-forth that keeps things lively and boy does this make him feel like he’s on cloud 9.
- Late-Night Conversations
Hazard tends to be a bit of a night owl, and some of your most heartfelt conversations happen in the dead of night. These moments reveal the layers beneath his tough exterior, where he shares his fears, hopes, and vulnerabilities.
- Partner-in-Crime Energy
He loves having you by his side, especially in situations that require quick thinking and a bit of rebellion. Hazard trusts you to have his back no matter what, and he makes sure you know he’s always got yours.
- Signature Outfit Pieces
You’ll often find yourself "borrowing" his jackets, hoodies, sweatpants and accessories because they’re not only comfy but they just look right on you. Hazard secretly loves seeing you wear them. He never asks for them back, either.
- Small but Meaningful Displays of Jealousy
Hazard doesn’t get outwardly jealous often, but when he does, oh boy, it’s subtle but still intimidating. He might casually drape an arm over your shoulder or drop a sarcastic comment that leaves others wondering if he’s serious or if he’s about to make the other person see god.
- Music is His Love Language
I think we all saw this coming, As a punk himself Hazard loves metal music and often makes a little playlist for you to listen to them with him. He won’t admit it outright, but the lyrics often hint at his feelings.
- Loyalty
Once Hazard commits to you, he’s all in. He’s fiercely loyal and won’t tolerate anyone disrespecting you. He makes you feel like the most important person in the world.
- Surprising Softness
Despite his tough exterior, Hazard has a soft spot just for you. He’ll let his guard down when you’re alone, resting his head on your shoulder or wrapping you in a rare, tight embrace. These moments are like gold. EXTRA bonus points if his head is on your lap while you play with his hair.
- Tattoo Talk
Hazard loves explaining the meaning behind his tattoos (if he trusts you enough), and he’s always asking if you’d ever get one yourself. If you already have tattoos, (he is barking internally) he’s constantly fascinated by their stories and significance.
- PDA in His Own Way
Hazard isn’t overly showy with affection, but he’ll hold your hand, rest his arm on your shoulder, or keep you close in a crowd. It’s subtle, but anyone who sees you together knows you’re his.
- He Loves Your Style
No matter how you dress or present yourself, Hazard notices the small details. He’ll compliment your look in his own blunt way, like “Yer lookin' pure badass today” or “That's dangerously cute, so dinnae go distractin' me, awright?”
What it says on the tin :D ~ Not saying that all these are ideas are wasted in Bayverse btw, some worked just fine within the movies, some could have used more depth and some are indeed wasted potential, SAY GO!
1. Jazz as second in command of the Autobots 2. Decepticon Police Car Barricade 3. Mikaela, just, everything about her 4. Girl Gestalt Arcee, Chromia and Elita 5. Humans and Autobots working together - like, seriously! I would have enjoyed these movies so much more if instead of following Sam, we had Lennox as the main character and had scene his team bonding with the Autobots as they work together to catch Decepticons. I would have loved to see that happen, but alas, we just have the concept and one like from Epps when he says "they killed my friends" while referring to the Autobots in Dark of the Moon 6. Old man Jetfire 7. The whole Sentinel storyline - would have made a far better story if they had given it more to time, but I really liked the idea and what we got! 8. Humanity turning against the Autobots - this is something I always assumed would happen in the shows in which the Bots are common knowledge - the good thing about this is how it leads to good character arcs and drama for the Autobots, mainly Optimus Prime. His arc (carried over from the end of Dark of the Moon) in Age of Extinction was good! Liked it a lot and it made me love this version of Optimus! Not as well written as it could have been, but the idea is great and they did a good-enough job with it. 9. Laserbeak as a cocky assassin who can shapeshift - great stuff, great stuff :D 10. Shockwave and his giant pet sandworm 11. Optimus starting the 4th movie as broken as he was 12. Having a dad as the Protagonist and drawing clear parallels to him and Prime - I found it cute and they actually stuck with this in the final :D Also, Optimus and Cade is maybe my favourite dynamic any version of Prime has with a human 13. Cade being fucking badass and doing what he does for the Autobots 14. Crosshairs, mostly his design - his trenchcoat looks so epic! <3 15. Lockdown, I liked his role in the 4th movie a lot 16. Megatron's whole plan to use the humans to make him a new body - nice plan pal 17. Quintessa 18. Optimus being brainwashed instead of Nemesis Prime being a clone - and being forced to turn against his family! Super angst source, too bad they didn't manage to make it good 19. The whole negotiation scene between Megs and Lennox was nice - I wish it had meant anything 20. The Dinobot babies
