I wanna talk about Hanzo x Symmetra. I fell inside the hole and they threw away the hole. I got feels for them because of that one interaction. Lol.

Yes, please, let’s talk about Hanmetra! It’s such a beautiful ship! It NEEDS to be talked about!! Like, aesthetics alone they are GORGEOUS. Hanzo and Symmetra are a total Queen and King coupling. Their mannerisms are very similar (which quite honestly, at the level which Symmetra and Hanzo portray themselves, I feel like most people would have a difficult time associating with them). 

I was SO stoked when I heard their interaction because I’ve felt that they were kindred spirits ever since I discovered their ship (I was so sad to discover they’re not popular, but hey, loving rarepairs is kinda just part of who I am by now, lol). 

Just the way they hold the concept of perfection of having such importance in their lives, despite everything around them and their circumstances being far from so, I feel like that’s the one thing they seek, just because of how perfectly UNPERFECT things actually are. Both were pretty much taken advantage of, albeit in different ways, and in Symmetra’s case, probably still being controlled. 

If anyone would understand Hanzo and Symmetra, I think it’d be each other. They still feel regret and sorrow but their pride/way of thinking also keeps them from really doing a huge 180 in character or values. They’re turning that 180, but very slowly, one degree at a time. And even then, once they’ve finished turning, they’ll be doing things their way, because they know what’s right for them and refuse to be anyone’s puppet ever again. If they were going to change characters, then I can see it happening if they have the support/friendship of someone who’s been in that same role.

Are these flaws? Yep. Are they flawed? Absolutely, but I honestly think that just makes them more interesting/relatable. And that’s why I love ‘em and I just really would love to see Blizzard have the guts to tackle this relationship, no matter the capacity ❤

Okay, I shush now.
