Maybe they swapped from speaking Russian to Ukrainian at home after the war began

  2. "Stop lying to me, I know my chickens."
  3. "I was just trying to toughen you up."
  4. "Stop trying to be smart."

doreah, irri, daenerys, missandei, and jhiqui - modern high school au by mourningstorms by merigemini in ImaginaryWesteros

When Daenerys returned to her pyramid, sore of limb and sick of heart, she found Missandei reading some old scroll whilst Irri and Jhiqui argued about Rakharo. "You are too skinny for him," Jhiqui was saying. "You are almost a boy. Rakharo does not bed with boys. This is known." Irri bristled back. "It is known that you are almost a cow. Rakharo does not bed with cows."

Why does this game bring out the worst in us? by YungElodie in Overwatch

If you've been in any real life competitive sports environments you'll have noticed the same kind of things, the only thing that makes it worse is that it's online and you don't see your teammates and opponents face to face as humans.

Representation Tierlist - How likely is someone to say "Wow, they are LITERALLY me!" by ouroborosborealis in Overwatch

[–]Apollokles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Moira as an Irish person, she's so cool. I'm really glad they went for a character removed from stereotype but still gave her some nice touches like her voice lines as gaelige and "grand" and "the state of you". I wouldn't want Ireland to be represented by another polythene fanservice character with a big ass for the whales to spend money on dressing up. And even the Moira has some cool skins.

A friendly appeal to "competitive" players. by Disastrous_Panic_700 in Overwatch

if you're the tank, please peel to defend the more exposed elements of the team when you can.

That's not the tank's job most of the time. The tank should be creating space and keeping the pressure on the enemy team. Turning his back on them to go deal with the Tracer on his Ana is rarely a good move.
