Keeping Company

keeping company 🕯️

My bf bought an apple tablet and a pencil for it. I visited him this past week and he let me play with it. I ended up downloading Procreate and playing with it. I drew four doodles while I was there lmao. I might need to buy my own tablet for drawing. It's just super easy to use Procreate with the minimal knowledge I have of digital art programs. So here is Minerva in his favorite shell and a Chalco Yong sketch!

yknow destiny wasn't the first media I got into that had queer rep but it was the first media I consumed personally that treated it like it was a normal way of just... being. it doesn't have to be an entire thing, people can just exist like that. Of course Osiris and Saint-14 are in love, why wouldn't they be? Nimbus uses they/them pronouns because what else would they use? (there are so many more examples but we'd be here all day) It shifted how I looked at representation in media and in my own writing: why does it have to be a big deal all the time? What if we were just allowed to exist like cishet people do in media I see everyday? And Destiny is an fps! with the exact kind of community you'd expect a game like that to have!

anyway in conclusion destiny is fucking incredible and I'm so thankful that it exists so I can finally see people like me exist in a space where people often try their best to erase that

My bf and I played a bit of Revenant last night and I was excited to see daddy Fikrul enter the chat. But then I went to see Eido and I absolutely was super duper excited and giddy to see her in game again. My bf was calling me gay cause I wanna go on a date with Eido. I was more excited to see my girl Eido than Fikrul.

But definitely a great line up of characters this season! Fikrul, Crow, Eido, Mithrax, Eramis, and even Variks. I always love the eliksni seasons and adding scorn to the mix makes total sense right now, especially now Fikrul is claiming to be the Kell of Kell. It's a great mix of helping Mithrax with his curse and slaying the scorn to prevent all the eliksni from turning into scorn. I can't wait to play more and read all the new lore.

Me making a ton of Chalco Yong art and fifty bagillion headcannons about her

When you read the lore and find a character you really like, but find virtually nothing on that character in terms of fan art and/or that character is rarely referenced in game.

This is so sad,Ghost, play The Last Array.

This season is just going to be a lot of Eido art. I am halfway through one. I have an idea to draw her work area and all the fun stuff on it. I have a Festival of the Lost Witch costume Eido idea. Probably Eido and Bubo making some tonics and queens foil together. Maybe my warlock and Eido on a date? I have many drawing ideas and many screenshots of her model now.
