who’s making the overwatch uniform armour though like who’s out there measuring everyone like……… okay great this girl has a massive time machine in her chest that i have to accommodate for……. okay this guys huge and refuses to wear anything other than heavy plated armour…….. and this one is a gorilla because why not
headcanon: torbjorn builds the actual armour, reyes adds the accessories afterwards.
torbjorn comes into work and gets right to it. he checks his list of repairs for the day. nothing too bad, just some basic repairs. just as he gets started, a cadet hands him a new armour order.
it’s the most ridiculous one yet. he’s already had to build another new set of armour for reinhardt this week because he keeps charging into walls and cracking pieces. he had to build an entirely new set for mercy to interface with her new angel wings which she insists are necessary for optimal performance. now he’s got to build a set that somehow provides enough protection while at the same time having a huge hole in the middle for a literal time machine that winston built in his spare time.
but, as he constantly reminds himself, hard work pays off. he gets to work, willingly, and happily.
that’s where reyes comes in.
for every totally functional piece of combat-ready armour torbjorn spends hours building to meticulous specifications, reyes walks in just after it’s been fitted and adds some totally unnecessary flourish like a new hat or blue sunglasses. torbjorn hates this, but secretly does appreciate his cap and the suggestion to grow out his beard.
every day reyes distributes more accessories to the team. he fills ana’s locker with berets. he gives genji knives to attach to his ankles for some reason. one day he walks in, totally stoic and serious, and hands mccree the BAMF belt buckle. neither of them say anything. they both know it was the right decision
