Sagira Likes Floofy Things Is Adorable. I Can Imagine Saint Getting Sagira And Geppetto The Floofiest

Sagira likes floofy things is adorable. I can imagine Saint getting Sagira and Geppetto the floofiest pillows for some much needed rest from bird watching.

OH I JUST NOTICED in that art with sleeping Osiris and Sagira, Felwinter lended them his coat, didn't he? My heart is going to explode 😭😭😭

Agfksdjks yeah, he did! Only his coat has such an impressive fur collar 😂 (Excuse me for marinating your ask for some time, but I wanted to dig up a fitting sketch I had for it and then I... got a little carried away with the coloring........ ANYWAY)

(also thank you, I'm always glad when people notice such things 💙)

Now we can switch Savvy with our hive war mommy to make it accurate for Season of the Deep too

really impressed by the character interactions this season (this was made during Season of the Lost)

So, Bubo will do all of these. Gambit she secretly enjoys because Tripore is a Dregen and it's fun sometimes. Patrols have to be done, tho it's not her favorite thing. Bubo does use it to find flowers. Raids and dungeons, again she has to because she's the YW.

But crucible? Ha. And I mean, regular crucible not trials and IB. She does Trials every once in a blue moon (mainly cause she can't say no to Saint and Violet is such a good sniper that it's a breeze on certain maps). She likes Iron Banner for some reason and Saladin wouldn't allow an iron lord in training to miss it.

But regular ol' Crucible? Nah. Bubo stays away from that with a ten foot pole. The only game mode Shaxx can get her to do is Mayhem when she needs to blow off some stream by throwing Dawnblades and Nova Bombs in people's faces. But she stays away from crucible. It doesn't help that people always compare her to Ikora, and Bubo doesn't always feel like she lives up to her mentor. Plus, Bubo has been hit with snipers and shotguns to the face one too many times at the point and can't deal with it

specific destiny poll time 👀

Me: let's work on some figure drawing!

Also me: *first one is two women holding hands* Let's make some Ikora x Chalco fan art!

Okay, so Bungie doesn't give us enough lore about these two, so I have some head cannons about them. Honestly still don't really know how these two meet, but they've worked together a lot in both Crucible and actual missions. Chalco is a fierce arcstrider and was taught a lot by Tallulah Fairwind (the first hunter vanguard) and often learned a lot about being an academic from Osiris. Spending a lot of time with warlocks/academics led Chalco to be one herself. Chalco always had feelings for Ikora but Ikora didn't realize it (I imagine Ikora dated Eris at one point). Eventually Chalco and Ikora do end up together.

Things were going great, but they had a bit of a rough patch when Osiris was exiled because the Speaker acted as though it was a unanimous vote to exile Osiris but both Andal and Ikora voted against this. Chalco by that point really liked Osiris and even tho she saw he wasn't the best commander/warlock vanguard, still believed he was an important academic to the city. Chalco later finds this out from Andal how the vote actually went. Chalco makes up with Ikora, but since Ikora is the vanguard now and Chalco is one of her most important Hidden in the field, they spend a lot of time apart.

I often wish we got more lore about Ikora's past beyond her Crucible days and she being Osiris' student, kinda like how they humanized Zavala with the whole Safiyah/Hakim story. And I just want more Chalco lore. I get excited to read it whenever it's given. I know we'll never see her in game, but I thought the same about Eido, and I was super thrilled when they actually put her in game. So I can hope maybe the same will happen for Chalco.

Cloudstrider Monuments

Okay, i was gonna write this a while ago but never did. So, my boyfriend and I were hanging out in the Hall of Heroes after we finished the Strider exotic quest. My bf realized it there seemed to be way too many monuments around the room, considering the few things we knew off hand:

The collapse was 1600 years ago. We know this tidbit from Petra Venj. In the lore entry "Refusal" from Forsaken, there is this line: "She [Petra] bites back the rest: how she wishes that back in two-thousand-and-whatever, when the Darkness hurled mankind off the height of its Golden Age to plummet sixteen centuries into barbarism, it had done just a slightly better job." So we know that Neomuna have been around for approximately 1600 years.

Cloudstriders live 10 years, due to the augmentations they go through.

There are only ever two cloudstriders at once.

Alright, with this knowledge, we decided to count up all the monuments in the room and around it, which gave us 480 monuments. This number might not be entirely accurate, but it gives us a good estimate. Now let's divide this by two (since there are two cloudstriders at once) and we are down to 240. If this is multiplied by 10 (for the max amount of years a cloudstrider could live) we get 2400 years.

2400 years of Cloudstriders. Now, obviously this doesn't take into account that cloudstriders can die on duty (like Rohan), but it seems that the Neomuni live in relative peace besides occasionally dealing with the Vex. This also doesn't take into account the early days of Neomuna. We don't know how many cloudstriders there are at once originally, but it seems like there have never been many. We also don't really know how new/old of a concept cloudstriders are. Was Strider, the first cloudstrider, around 1600 years ago or more recently? So yeah, if we think cloudstriders have been around for 1600 years and you minus 1600 from 2400, that's still a good 800 years. It seems weird that there would be that many Cloudstriders. But who knows.

Honestly, my bf and I probably just over analyzed the Hall of Heroes after we got done roasting Quinn for being a bad archivist and having none of this important archival material to Neomuna's history backed up. So take this all with a grain of salt. Except for the 1600 years detail. I think a lot of people don't realize that D2 takes place in at least 3600 CE (and it's probably a lot later than that cause of we don't know how long the golden age was).

Out of the vanguard ghosts who we know, I see Sundance and Sagira both cursing. A lot lol. Though Sundance would probably be the worst of the two. But Sagira is a sass queen and would probably use curses for funsies.

Sundance taught Val how to swear

lol Val learned how to swear from his time as a Vagabond. He learned to develop better manners from Robby and Ikora. They're trying to get him to speak nicer to others.

BUT I can see Sundance being an enabler of sorts.
