Let me tell you something.

I don’t care if people saw me looking at Jack eating Gabriel’s ass in public.
I’m dead inside.
Reaper76 has killed me.
I don’t care anymore.

The lady next to me just stared at my phone with me.
She was like a Latina lady in her 40’s ish mah dudes.
We looked at Reaper76 together.
It was a long as fuck awkward silence as I keep scrolling through the Reaper 76 tag until she finally talked to me.

I really expected her to call me out on it, but instead she asked.

“What show is that? Is he Latino?”

Like shit guys I didn’t expect her to be so casual.

“It’s from a game called Overwatch and yeah, he’s Latino, his name is Gabriel Reyes.”

Then she was just nodding to herself, now I started to care. I started to get nervous, guys I didn’t expect her to talk to me and be so casual about it.

Then she said, “A Latino in video game? And he’s gay? That’s even better, what game was it you said? Overwatch? I should get that for my nephew.”

I’m freaking out!?!?!?!?!??! I DIDN’T HAVE THE GUTS TO TELL HER THAT THE ART ISN’T CANNON. SO I JUST NODDED.

Then she told me how her nephew just came out to her family about being gay and he loved video games and IT’S HIS BIRTHDAY AND SHE WAS HERE AT THE MALL TO BUY HIM A GIFT.

GUYS I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

She then thanked me and left towards the game stop. GUYS. GUYS.

REPRESENTATION IS IMPORTANT.

REAPER 76 IS DOING GOD’S WORK.

GUYS. GUYS. I’M FREAKING OUT.

GUYS. THIS LADY THINKS REAPER 76 IS CANNON.

GUYS.

And then the entire mall stood up and clapped
