Fav characters?
(I’m assuming you want favorite Destiny characters. If this is not the case, just hit me with another ask.)
1. Osiris. It took me a long time to warm up to him, but once I did he jumped to the spot of my favorite Destiny character. I respect his ideas and how he wanted to know more about our enemies even though he became obsessed and got exiled for it. I also liked how in Season of the Dawn, it showed us more to him than that grumpy uncle and I really enjoyed how happy he was when he found out that there was a way to bring back Saint. Best grumpy uncle ever for me. I do wish they would have treated him better in his DLC especially after there was kind of a legend around him back in D1. Like dead*ss, Osiris is regarded as one of the most powerful guardians ever and we rarely got to see him.
2. Variks. He crept in and stole my heart right off the bat. When playing House of Wolves back in D1, I thought he sounded so cool and when I found out Dee Bradley Baker voiced him, I liked him even more. Also what made me like him even more was reading his lorebook in D2. This dude had to endure years of insults directed at him by Awoken, Humans, and guardians alike, yet he never seemed to hesitate to help. Hell, he tried to warn us about the Red Legion and was became upset that he wasn’t able to get the message through. Plus he is trying his best to unite the Eliksni again, despite seeing the majority of his people fall into madness. Now I don’t excuse what he did, but he was being influenced by the Fanatic the same way Uldren was. Overall, I think he is really cool and I am glad he’s coming back, hopefully, we don’t have to kill him though.
3. Zavala and Ikora. These two share the spot as I find both of them amazing characters and I wish Bungie would have used them more instead of relying on Cayde for everything. I admire how strong they have been through literally everything at this point and honestly, they both deserve all the love in the world. They are the strongest leaders I have seen from any game and they deserve so much respect. They also are great mom and dad type characters, because even though they fight, they still can come together to help and assist us and the people. We respect Ikora and Zavala in this house, and if you don’t that’s really not cool ngl.
4. Jolyon Till the Rachis. So he is not in-game, he has only ever appeared or been mentioned in lore, but still, he has become a big favorite of mine. So if you don’t know, he is the creator of the Lord of Wolves, one of his pastimes is taking enemy weapons and remaking them into something to be used by Awoken and guardians. He also has been through so much sh*t at this point yet still remains strong to lead the Crows in Uldren’s absence. He went to the Balck Garden for his best friend(or lover depending on how you see them) and came back with massive trauma from it, including scary *ss nightmares, but he never let that stop him from assisting the Awoken people. He had to watch said best friend(or lover) descend into madness. Then went Uldren went off the deep end, he had to go fetch him and realize that Uldren didn’t even remember him, or any of their time together. This man is so cool and I wish he would show up in-game and hopefully, he makes an appearance or something when Guardian Uldren shows up.
These are the main favs and hopefully, none of them end up dead.
Beyond Light Scenes
Beyond Light Spoilers, sort of.
(They’re just some screenshots from the intro but still)
I really enjoyed that little intro they did so I just wanted to share some of my favorite panels from it
This is probably the most we ever seen to get it Ikora recently but I adore it none the less. It shows her compassion and kindness which we don’t usually get to see
This one as well made me happy. I’m not certain if Osiris was actually there and Saint was just thinking about him when he mentioned Mercury’s fall, but nonetheless, I think it’s neat that the two are finally seen together
Never thought my out of context Jojo panel would come in handy
Crow is an interesting concept because I think that is what Uldren was like before he went to the Black Garden. Like our guardians are talking to the Uldren that the Awoken people cherished and loved, the Uldren that was still sane.
(Also ngl, I would definetly grand slam The Spider into space for the sh*t he has done to Crow. I was not fond of him before but this is basically unforgivable)
Also it’s ridiculous that people want to kill Crow; he has no memory and doesn’t even have the same personality as Uldren. Cayde has been dead for like 3 years now and everyone involved in his death has paid their price already. Give it a rest, and let your anger go.
Beyond Light is tomorrow
Beyond Light is tomorrow
AND SINCE NO ONE IS BEING HAPPY ABOUT IT HAVE THIS
ITS TOMORROW!!!!!
Hey everyone in the D2 community!!!
I saw this really nice event on Reddit and I think it’s an awesome idea! I am just putting it out here in case anyone wants to join! I think it’ll be fun.
I am def gonna be there for this.
BL spoilers kinda but I gotta write down this dream I had before it goes away
Basically it started with two Exos named Secretary and E*something* (might’ve been emissary) who were trying to run from the Fallen in a crashed Ketch in the EDZ. They both died(?) but Sec stayed on coms for the rest of the dream, her death audio looping
I never saw what E looked like- they might’ve just been some random AI on the coms. Sec was a bright teal Exo with yellow eyes
Meanwhile, I was in the perspective of my Hunter, Bitrik, who was exploring the Ketch- it wasn’t like the EDZ we know today tho. It was like some subsidiary of it, like a sector in a national park (idk that’s how my dreambrain described it)
There was tons of Eliksni architecture as I made my way through the tunnels. Eventually it opened up to this kind of pit, lined with rounded metal and with a massive pillar in the center
Now that I think about it, the arena was built like that one lost sector on the Moon, but bigger and with more Eliksni architecture
And in the center on top of this turret-like structure was Eramis. Not like in the game though- she was bigger, more purple than blue, and had nightmarishly long forearms and claws. She was yelling in Eliksni, but my Ghost slowly translated it- “We rise and devour what we have lost” or something
The arena was filled with dead Dregs, and Brigs (although at the time I knew them as Walkers) watching from the alcoves of the ring. Eventually Eramis left and the Brigs attacked, shielded by a massive Servitor in the center.
Knowing full well that I couldn’t take THAT shit on, I jumped on my Sparrow and hauled ass outa there. Sec kept screaming in my headset while E talked about how the Eliksni came to build some kind of factory to make Exo-Eliksni hybrids...
Towards the end I saw Sec’s body, torn apart and left in a gory heap at the entrance to some Eliksni structure. E mourned the loss of their friend as I loaded my gun (don’t remember which one) and stepped into the building. There, the dream ended.
Dammit to hell I had another BL dream
This one was in the DSC in some kind of hub. It had Dreaming City-like architecture, but my dreambrain KNEW it was the Crypt.
Rings of terminals formed a white, multi-level spire. Each terminal was connected to the top of the spire by thin, white wisps of light. The terminals would move forward to hang over the edge when you approached them with a buff(?)
There was some kind of enemy there that I can’t remember. I think it was Taken-like, but also robotic. It fired green bursts of light at me (as I was in Bitrik’s body once again) as I carried glowing things to the terminals to ascend.
Once a terminal was extended, you would jump on top of it to reach the next ring and repeat the process, matching your object with the correct terminal lest they all extend and crush you.
I don’t remember if I ever made it to the top....
I can draw I swear
There’s a giant Exo head deep in Bray Exoscience past Creation. Every time I look at it, it feels eerie.
