Overwatch

No, I'm not talking about the random voice lines characters will say when there's no one on the objective, I've seen the message actually appear in the chat log, and the waypoint for the objective gets highlighted in the HUD.

That's done by looking at the point and hitting the button for "Understood".

I have a good feeling that Junker Queen is the next hero

That would be nice. Personally, I just want to be surprised. Something totally unexpected in play or presentation like Hammond.

Or a jet pack cat.

Blizzard's just put out a new short story titled BASTET.

Rip in pepperoni all Soldier ships :V

2 years and a month but we finally have another gay hero! I think

Also a skin.

Wait I can't read the whole thing at the moment.

What did it reveal?

76 had a boyfriend named Vincent.

Huh who'd thought.

Reaper x 76 ship intensifies.

I think the real tragedy for that ship is that Gabe is straight

Can we expect this short stories to pop up more often?

It also mentions that Reaper had a family at some point.

Ooooh that does take some hits.

But is also intriguing as well.

I hope so cause we need something on a consistent basis.

To those curious, the actual story takes place after the Old Soldiers comic and deals with Ana and Jack dealing with the fact that not only are the other still alive, but so is Gabriel.

They also take down the Hakim guy they were searching in the comic in a matter of days. It's not really focused on so meh.

WOO!

MY GAY SOLDIER THING FROM DAY ONE IS CONFIRMED!

I WAS CORRECT! SUCH VALID! WOO!

Sorry. I've had friends who think I'm nuts for not only suggesting that soldier was gay, but that I ship in and Reyes.

SO SUCK IT LOSERS! WOO!

too bad Gabe is straight.

Oh god, finally some more lore. I’m down with this reveal, although I hope we also see some others confirmed in the future.

Is he though? I want reciepts here.

Not outright confirmed but implied. Jack said he and Ana used to have a family and considering the random family he was stalking in Reflections, we can assume he is at least is the father of one of those three.

And in case many were confused, Yes Jack and Vincent used to date

I mean Reaper could be bisexual.

Plus did it explicitly state he had a wife or just a family?

Oh man, 76 is gay?

Well, there goes my 76 X Mercy and 76 X Ana ship.

x3 Or pan.

As far as Reflections? The Family Reaper sees might not be related to him at all. I honestly read it as 'He's reminded of the thing he never had'. Its not like all the other characters seen in that montage are important named characters, like the kid in Hanzo's slide.

So, if we have no frame of reference, Reaper could have had a family with a man. I'd also point out that 'family' in this context doesn't mean that they had to have a married romantic relationship either. As far as we know, Ana never got married to Pharah's father and we don't quite know the context of that relationship. For all we know, maybe Reaper had parents or siblings he looked out for and that was his family while Ana had Pharah as her's.

BTW, Chu confirmed on twitter that 76 and Vincent would both identify as gay.
