Tweets That Reminded Me Of Valorant

can’t unhear this voice line 

3 am character analysis time: i think it's really important to note that neon feels like the group's baby but adamantly is not the/a baby.

she is the youngest, least experienced in combat and warfare and gunfights and using her powers, and the shortest; so obviously she does need to be guided along to a degree but isn't a completely helpess and aimless baby. yk? I think a lot of her struggle comes from trying to prove herself and her worth and her maturity and right to be seen as an equal professional and adult among the others—but the age differences and lack of control speak for themselves.

she's TRYING to be an adult — because she IS an adult — but she's treated like a baby — because in the sense of age and experience she IS the group's baby. you know? and she's in that transitional age between teenager to young adult where everyday is a fight for maturity and independence while being unsure and clumsy and lost in navigating the world for yourself. she wants to be guided, but not coddled. she doesn't want to be suffocated and silenced because she's the, "baby." she wants to be seen as the adult she is but the truth is that she doesn't know what she's doing on her own.

(and as a college kid in the same age range i feel the same way 😭)

Cypher falls asleep in random places all the time. He doesn’t mean to, it’s a result of like, never sleeping, but he can just be sitting on the couch tinkering away when BAM - asleep. (The other agents usually leave him alone and turn off the lights. Sometimes KJ will put a blanket over him bc god knows he needs some good rest)

Brimstone tries to use gen z phrases to relate to the younger agents but fails miserably. Once, he misinterpreted “thicc” and said it about almost everything before the context was VERY WRONG and Phoenix made him stop. (this is totally not based off my dad doing this exact same thing for months, until he called my brother thicc and we made him stop)

KJ collects coffee cups (based off her lab in the riotxarcane game)

Phoenix and Yoru have game nights, which usually ends in a LOT of arguing. The other agents place bets on who will start yelling first (it’s usually Phoenix)

When the other agents are running low on things, Cypher will buy it for them and leave it somewhere. Like a new soldering iron for KJ, new paints for Raze, etc. He never says it’s him, nor accepts any thank you’s but the others can definitely tell.

Raze’s room is painted wall to wall with art, like how Rapunzel painted the tower.

Yoru likes to tp onto the roof and just sit up there

Raze is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER allowed to cook. She once nearly burned the place down, a job that’s supposed to be their resident fire radiant’s.

Skye keeps a garden that the other agents sometimes hang out in when they have free time

The younger agents pestered Brimstone to get a pool installed (purely for exercise purposes ofc). Everyone has been in it at least once, except Omen and Cypher. Cypher maintains that the day he gets in the pool is the day the world ends. (And that if anybody pushes him in, he’ll leak their search history)

Sage has a black cat named Moon

Omen knit a sweater for Sage and she wears it when it’s cold

Dialogue credit goes to @hvstias as usual

“They think they’re better than us. I can tell.” Is such a sad line the moment I stop to think abt it (or maybe I read to much into it but that’s fine lol). But like, he knows when ppl have that sense of superiority because he’s seen it too many times… And likely bc of his disability. That one judge, maybe his own teammates at VP, more people than we will ever know about.

OTPtober second set: Sagebean

everyone's been suckered into a chess match with cypher at one point. none of them win on the first go, and few stick around long enough to net any wins.

between knitting projects, omen is usually game for a round or two; viper sometimes drops by to challenge him when lab reports and performance reports start to swim in her vision. and now fade, who will swipe pieces off the board if he looks away- it adds a new dimension to the game, at least?

taking a little break from mermay and indulging in cypher brainrot

I just think he’s neat

how my yoru ults

breach, drunk: why are you scientists even mad when you can be just normally glad scientists?

viper, also drunk: student loans
