7. The cereal aisle at 2am O14

From the ask game here

Thank you to the kind people in the Destiny 2 discord I am part of for helping me come up with Guardian themed cereals. Ya'll are the best.

Osiris shuffled beside Saint staring at the list he had written. His other hand was firmly in his partner's and occasionally Saint would tug a little to help him avoid running face first into a display.

"We got the milk and butter. We got eggs. The Young Wolf said they need cereal too." He said finally looking up at Saint with tired brown eyes. It was really too late, or too early, to be shopping but they had both had nightmares and the little 24 hour market wasn't far from their shared home.

So Saint slipped on the violet bunny slippers that had been a gift from their favorite Guardian and Osiris wrapped up in a red house robe and they dragged themselves out to do the shopping.

Turning down the cereal aisle the pair of them froze, Osiris' eyes widening.

"Have there always been... This many?" He asked and Saint snorted.

"I would not know. I am Exo. I only ever come here to get food for you. Or tea." He pointed out shifting the basket he was holding with the food they already picked out in it further down his arm so he could reach for a box without letting go of Osiris' hand.

"Warlock Wheaties? It says there are marshmallow nova bombs that will turn the milk purple-" Saint started but Osiris cut him off.

"No."

"What do you mean no, I did not even-" he started again but Osiris snatched the box to put it back on the shelf.

"You said it yourself Saint, you don't need to eat. We are not getting these just because they turn the milk purple. I think the Young Wolf wanted the- Is... Is that supposed to be me?" Osiris interrupted himself to grab a different box while Saint started to laugh delightedly.

On the box was a cartoon caricature of a egyptian themed warlock with flaming wings hovering over a bowl of cereal with triangular pieces. The box announced itself as Orbs Of Power: Super Solar and claimed to be a peanut butter protein cereal with little marshmallow ghosts that looked an awful lot like Sagira's shell shape.

"I want to eat the marshmallow Sagiras. I do not need to but when she sasses me it will make me feel powerful," Saint said immediately grabbing a box to add to their basket.

"They have scornflakes, ha! Oh look here is arcberry flavored one with a little Zavala. Do you think they have a little me?" Saint said starting to look through the boxes of normal raisin bran and for more themed boxes.

Unfortunately there were no Saint-14 themed cereals to be found leading to Osiris having to comfort his pouting titan partner as he tried to drag him away toward the checkout.

"I'll talk to Ikora. I'm certain we can do a... A fundraiser or something and make a cereal with a little you on it Saint. The people love you. Call them Titan-O's or something else equally ridiculous." He promised.

It took a lot of work and Osiris threatening many people but months later a new box of cereal was put out with A tiny Saint-14 on the box holding hands with the tiny Osiris in front of a bowl of rainbow fruit cereal for the new Prismatic Power puffs.

guardian?

i love accidentally gettin' stuff like this, pretty sure it's just a loading error

that radio message man... thanks for the weekly psychological damage bungie 👍

Besties, I need help. Especially people who have a lot of reach on twitter.

Two of my friends had their Destiny names forcibly changed at the roughly the same time. Their Destiny names were "bisexual mara sov" and "trans king oryx." They just logged in and got a pop-up saying that for some "crossplay" reasons their names were changed to a default Guardian####. None of them are using crossplay. Both are on Steam only, if that's important.

One of them posted to Bungie forums and got this reply:

Both of my friends suspect that they were mass reported. Obviously falsely. Their names are not breaking any rules and are in fact canonical statements about the characters. They always play together so if some homophobe sees them, they would report both, so it would make sense why this happened to them at the same time, possibly (the other option is that there was a wave of forced name changes happening recently that caught them both, but for all intents and purposes, their names should not be subject to change).

This upset both of my friends quite a lot. It means there's enough homophobes out there falsely reporting their names. It's also upsetting to think that these reports were reviewed and then accepted. I genuinely don't think there was a manual review. If there was, I think everyone would like to know which rules this is breaking and why.

Another friend tried raising this issue on the official Destiny 2 reddit, but his thread was not approved by moderators because of "politics":

Thanks reddit! /s My friend also messaged the moderators, but to no avail.

The only thing that remains is trying to raise this issue with the community managers somehow, but clearly this isn't possible on reddit, so we want to try twitter. Unfortunately with the way twitter works, unless you have the reach, nobody will see it. One other friend literally made a twitter account for this to tag the Destiny 2 Team, but as expected her attempt has zero visibility. These are her two tweets. I'm not sure what would be better; to just boost this existing tweet or to make new tweets tagging Destiny 2 Team, but if anyone knows and thinks they could help, feel free to do either!

I don't expect much to happen, but I would like to at least try bringing some awareness to this because it's quite upsetting if homophobes can just mass report a completely innocent name, while absolutely gross names are allowed and visible every day in the game. It's also not a good look if these mass reports are acted on without review, and they are worse if they were acted on WITH review.

A lot of people have usernames that are about in-game characters; I think a lot of us would like to get some information on why these aren't allowed anymore. Both of my friends have had them for years.

Anyway, if anyone knows something they could do or has the ability to get this visible somehow, it would be appreciated!
