#this ellie and jesse dynamic is superior

[elsmstrss]

ellie williams headcannon: protective gf :)

how ellie would be so protective of her partner <3

most def mistakes but it adds to the ambience ok !!!

tags: ellie x fem!reader , lapslock , headcannon , protectivegf!ellie , men are the # 1 evil in this (in general tbh) , ellie doesn't even let jesse breath in this , kinda long? idk

ellie was kind of infamous around jackson for being almost too protective over you.

whenever you two would be walking through the streets of the commune, she always had to be the one closest to the traffic. she would pull you a little closer to her side as you pass a group of men staring a little too long at you.

duties are technically on rotation in jackson but ellie always pulls some strings or even bribery so that you're scheduled on patrols together.

when that doesn't work out, she has an extensive (and arguably dramatic) conversation about when and where you are to meet her afterwards. "ok babe? right here, immediately. yeah?"

"yes, ellie"

god forbid your just fifteen minutes late, she'll rush to the gates, sweating (she definitely ran there), brows stitched together in worry.

she’d charge right at you, immediately noticing your slight limp and scoop you up into her arms.

“y/n what the fuck happened. jesse! what the fuck did you do??”

nothing is ever your fault in her eyes.

“els ‘m fine i just slipped on a rock by the creek…” you’d mumble, sheepish because you were maybe or maybe not trying to pick a wildflower that had caught your eye.

“what did i do!?” jesse would screech, in complete disbelief.

ellie would insist that she carry you all the way back to your shared room, ignoring your embarrassed pleas to let you down. “ellie, babe, i’m fine. i can walk. el!” it completely falls on deaf ears.

also! ellie refuses to let you sleep in any vulnerable positions. she always sleeps with her back to the door, shielding you from view if any intruders were to break in. you try and remind ellie there hasnt been any sort of crime like that in jackson since you've arrived but ellie never takes any chances when it comes to you.

she always wears extra layers when you're on patrol together so that if you ever get chilly, she can throw her jacket over your shoulders, wordlessly. you look up at her with grateful eyes and a soft smile, planting a kiss on her cheek.

"hey ellie! i'm cold too" jesse pouts. "boo hoo you're a grown ass man, deal with it" she would answer.

the community often holds little parties and get togethers in an old bar near the center of jackson. maria says it helps bring some humanity and warmth to the cold and harsh reality of the world they all live in now. you love attending said parties, being quite the social butterfly, eager to let loose. you often have to drag ellie to these things as she would much rather stay at home and cuddle but the truth is, ellie would never let you attend such things without her by your side.

once you both arrive, you instantly find dina and jesse, making your way over. ellie decided to stop at the counter and grab some drinks. she keeps an eye on you, leaning back on the countertop with one elbow, smiling softly from seeing you laugh at something dina said.

her smile drops in an instant when she notices a man tap you on the shoulder, leaning in a little too close than ellie would prefer. he whispers something in your ear and ellie watches you shake your head, politely declining the offer, but the idiot cant seem to take a hint.

the second ellie notices your demeanor change from bubbly to slightly uncomfortable, she's stalking over, drinks abandoned, shoving herself between you and the creep. "back off, dude" her tone flat, her glare mean, leaving no room for debate.

the second the creep slinks away, she's instantly on you, asking if your okay, taking your face in both her palms. you nuzzle into them and give her a small smile. "my knight in shining armor" you blink dramatically, teasing her. "whatever, dork. c'mon lets get some water in you"

anyways, you are the most important thing to ellie and your safety come before her own life. it's how she shows she cares, words often too difficult for her to express. you know this, even though it can be a bit much, which is why you always eventually let her have her way.

“Dina Woodward had a saying of her own lightly adapted from some childhood friend’s hip grandmother that went along the lines of: You either fuck it, or hop off the top. That was the mindset that led a group of young adults from a small town in Wyoming to ultimate stardom in rock circles all across the globe-” Ellie made sure to interrupt Jesse’s reading, clutching the newspaper off his hands and forcing it apart in even shreds.

“They made us sound like a fucking inspirational movie”

“I told you that’s what happens when you accept to be interviewed by these mainstream fascists Abby’s daddy can buy out”

“Well, Ellie, here’s a little tip then how about you stop snorting up all our gig cash and actually write some new fucking songs so we don’t have to depend on these interviews that are buying the fucking powder you can’t keep from shoving up your nose” Abby was angry as per usual, landing a soft blow over the table Ellie leaned over, scattering sprinkles of the white drug across the floor. Jesse prepared himself to get between them quickly, his own set of muscles basically newly acquired for these situations, a fiery Ellie and overtly stronger Abby was entertaining the first couple of times when bruised eyes could be hot accessories, but it’s frequency died down the style quickly.

“Fuck you and your moral superiority you only joined the band because you wanted to piss off your fancy rich parents and we only let you because we needed the investment”

“Els, shut the fuck up you know that she’s a good bassist” Dina sighed, looking around for the vacuum cleaner to avoid questions from her tennants later.

“And a better singer too” Abby smirked, her laugh echoing across the room as Ellie leaned in to punch her and was stopped by Jesse’s grip that she remained fighting incessantly.

She thought of Joel, her step father, wondered for a split second what he’d think of her in this situation and quickly shook the thought of her mind. It was irrelevant what Joel would’ve thought, because he was dead alongside anyone else she ever loved, like a plague. Cursed was the title track of their album and it explored the feeling of grief and anger better than anyone could’ve forced out of her in conversation. The other members went as far as thinking perhaps it meant something different, a change within. It never came. Ellie remained the same hot headed impulsive lyrical genius whose talent was wasted on her for always being too overly wasted herself.

“Can we please just get back to practice?” Jesse pleaded, his surprising patience wearing thin.

It didn’t matter, in the end. They were Ellie’s band. Abby was a bass goddess. Music saved Jesse’s life. Dina secretly thought it all to be amusing. They were incredible together, despite the drugs and screams and punches, breathtaking. The band would live on and so would the chaos. You either fuck it, or hop off the top.

I’m sorta new to the overwatch fandom as a whole, would you mind explaining why Mcree/reaper is a bad ship? :0 I didn’t know that

At best, there’s multiple levels of power imbalance that would automatically disadvantage Jesse in such a relationship. It is impossible for Jesse to respond to Gabriel as an equal.

Jesse brought into Overwatch by Gabriel when Jesse was, at oldest, 17. (No, this isn’t headcanon or fanon. It’s Word of God from Chu.) Gabriel, at that moment, was 38—literally twice Jesse’s age. Gabriel was directly influencing Jesse from when he was a minor. This fact is inextricable from their relationship. There is a massive imbalance in power dynamic in this.

“They’re both adults in the relationship!! Jesse gets older eventually!!” This doesn’t remotely change that Gabriel was directly influencing Jesse since Jesse was a minor and that their relationship’s foundation is strongly built on the relationship cultivated when Jesse was 17. That dynamic still exists.

Gabriel was explicitly Jesse’s teacher for an extended period of time. Teacher-student relationships are unbalanced, automatically leading to heavily skewed power dynamics should that relationship be romantic.

“But they aren’t teacher-student anymore!!” This doesn’t remotely change that their relationship’s foundation is strongly built on that teacher-student relationship. That dynamic still exists.

Gabriel is Jesse’s direct superior and boss. Gabriel has the power to fire Jesse, has the power to ruin all of Jesse’s career. That is a massively imbalanced power dynamic.

Everything about Jesse’s current state in life is owed to Gabriel. Jesse is deeply indebted to Gabriel in a manner that offers Gabriel some weight against Jesse. Again, imbalanced power dynamic that is particularly stacked in the context of the other points.

Consider: Jesse and Gabriel have a similar dynamic as Eggsy and Galahad from Kingsman, Arthur or John and Hosea or Dutch in Red Dead, Peter and Tony in Homecoming, Jubilee or Shadowcat and Logan in every iteration of X-Men, Ellie and Joel in The Last of Us, Nathan and Sully in Uncharted, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan or Obi-Wan and Anakin or Anakin and Ahsoka or any Master and Padawan in Star Wars, Brigitte and Reinhardt.
