I Dont Remember Where I Read This But This Note I Took From A Book Is A Good Mini Think Piece For Writing,

Hey, stop scrolling and start writing. The book ain't gonna write itself.

yes sometimes books/fics are just way too corny. but sometimes you need to be willing to participate to get what the author is trying to deliver. like a roller coaster or a horror movie, you have to decide to partake in the experience or thrill instead of trying to be above it

hey you look so cool :)

thanks so much! im still working on building this tumblr out but it's a really cool space to be creative

my friend & i are also working on a sideblog for our writing--it just feels good to have a little outlet space !

note. this section will be updated as things come up in the story, if people have recurring questions, or if the fic takes any extreme creative liberties that need clarification.

[?]    How old are Brig & Hana & Dae-Hyun?

In this story, Hana is 21 and Brig is 23. Dae-Hyun is 22. The youngest character in this story will be one of the members of the MEKA Squad, Overlord, who will be 18.

[?]    Who is Dae-Hyun?

Dae-Hyun Park is the canon mechanic assigned to Hana. He works on Tokki. He seems to be about Hana’s age. He appears in the cinematic and some other Overwatch media.

[?]     What is Mecha Guardian V?

The video game Hana is canonically famous for being the #1 player in. Before being recruited to pilot a mech for her country (South Korea), Hana was a teenage professional gamer.

[?]     What is nano cola?

A soda brand that Hana (D.va, in this case) promotes in canon. Lots of references to the brand are seen in game and in Overwatch media. Nano Cola cans and vending machines featuring D.va are seen in the game. D.va also has a “Nano Cola” skin along with other cosmetics.

[?]      What is the MEKA Squad/Mobile Exo-Force?

A team of five young mech pilots, including Hana, who were recruited for the Korean military to defend the nation from threats (Gwishin and Null Sector being among them). 

Link here for more facts about the members of the MEKA Squad and how they’ll be characterized in this fic.

[?]       What’s Hana’s affiliation with Overwatch in this fic?

In the official lore, Hana is ordered by the MEKA Squad captain to join Overwatch to monitor the Null Sector threats. Since this is before the cinematic on the timeline, Hana is affiliated with Overwatch when the incident occurs. For the sake of this fic, Hana is inactive/on leave from all organizations during her recovery (e-sports, MEKA Squad, and Overwatch).  In this fic, Overwatch is eager to re-recruit Song as she was not fully onboarded before the incident. Since she is still considered a member of Overwatch at this time, her MEKA Squad captain is able to call for their help during Hana’s request for a second mech to be built. Overwatch offers the job to a few of their members, and Brigitte ends up taking it.

masterlist · main characters · meka squad · faq/reference

A team of five young mech pilots, including Hana Song (D.va), who were recruited for the Korean military to defend the nation from threats (Gwishin and Null Sector being among them).

— d.va, hana song

color: pink mech name: tokki age (in this fic): 21 former profession: e-sports

[+] more on the characterization of hana in the main cast post.

— d.mon, yuna lee

color: red mech name: beast age (in this fic): 22 former profession: e-sports (d.va's teammate)

[+] in canon, yuna has a "tough" personality. in this fic, she'll be portrayed as a sister figure to hana: mature, collected, honest, and nurturing. she shows hana more of her sensitive side, still maintaining her pragmatic ways. hana often jokes that yuna likes to mother her. despite being away on leave, continuing her studies in the time being, she comes to check in on hana at the meka base and keeps in touch. despite their careers having taken a drastic turn together, the two still play mecha guardian v together.

— casino, jae-eun kwon

color: green mech name: la princesa sereine age (in this fic): 24 former profession: f1 racecar driver

[+] in this fic, casino will be portrayed as a slightly older and unattainable member of the group. hana and some of the other characters will call him "cas". besides hana, he will be the most publicly adored member of the team--with a fair number of adoring female fans. he will be personable, knowledgeable, and down to earth. an easy charm about him. he seems to have a special affection for yuna.

— king, kyung-soo han

color: yellow mech name: singigeon age (in this fic): 23 former profession: gamer (d.va's former rival)

[+] in canon, kyung-soo was hana's biggest rival during her esports career. she ended up surpassing both him and yuna, her teammate, to be the number one player in the world. in this fic, kyung-soo is outspoken and sometimes brash. he can be headstrong, but his heart is in the right place. he has a competitive spirit that has always been matched by hana. since being on the mech squad together, they have gone from rivals to friends--despite their banter. most of the time, they push each other to be the best they can.

— overlord, seung-hwa shi

color: blue mech name: mastermind age (in this fic): 18 former profession: e-sports

[+] in canon, dva states that seung-hwa is the best pilot she knows. he is also notably younger than the rest of the group. he also is noted to take on a "suport" role amongst the team, repairing the others mechs. in this fic, seung-hwa is straightforward and smart. he was a child prodigy in robotics and had the opportunity to nurture his gift, being a college graduate at a young age. gentle and kind, sometimes a bit out of the loop socially. he seems to adore the rest of the meka squad, making small talk with them despite usually being shy; he sees them as a second family. he knows a lot about mechanics and often helps dae-hyun tackle problems with the mechs.

— captain kyung

[+] captain of the meka squad, hyung is direct and practical. she sees a bit of her younger self in the likes of hana and kyung-soo.

multishipper ・ i write characters as adults ・ 25 ・ bisexual

author's note these are ships that i would write or have some kind of affection for the pairing. "x reader" also means that i would ship them with an original character. some of these fandoms i haven't engaged with in years but wrote long lost fanfiction for when i was younger and/or have fond memories of. some of these definitely warrant a re-watch, re-play, or re-read. i abandoned a lot of fandom spaces for original writing in my late teens/early 20s. i'm reigniting the passion i used to have for it. i do play overwatch consistently in 2025 and engage with its community most regularly.

also, i enjoy exploring relationships beyond romantic or suggestive ones. i like siblinghood, families, group dynamics, friendships, messy situationships with no resolve, and the spectrum of what it means to love someone (or care about them). i try to bring depth and wholeness to characterizations, not only fanservice... although tense and tender moments are everyone's guilty pleasure, mine included. whether a ship is or isn't listed, i likely have varying ideas and headcanons.

— overwatch.

— other fandoms i would write.

i most likely haven't consumed this media or haven't finished it in its totality yet. or i know it well enough to write but don't have any "ships" or would use them for au inspiration only. it might just be more on the backburner, too, but i'm inspired by it in some way.

percy jackson the hunger games the summer i turned pretty marvel star wars final fantasy dragon age the last of us the walking dead legend of korra fallout

i have the most cursed ideas for overwatch au/crossovers to write...
