Season Of Defiance - Tumblr Posts
Page 3 of Sightlines! Thrysiks..... Baby boy... This is the Dreg that Eido talks to and sends to Drifter and he's then given a job to babysit kids. 🥺
This! It didn't feel lol like it was handled the best. Though I think this could lead to interesting potential story between Crow and Mara going forward.
Ok I think I've had enough time to like process everything properly.
Amanda dying sucks. For a variety of reasons. It genuinely sad that she won't be around anymore. We lost her, we lost a friend. There's a hole now.
But narratively her death sucks bc of how she was written this season. This entire season I've been annoyed by Amanda. Annoyed by how she was treating crow, annoyed by the fact she's apparently been living under a rock when it comes to the darkness, annoyed by how she's just been acting recently. Season of Defiance lore and story genuinely feels like we've taken a step backwards from where we were. On top of all that, we knew it was coming, we knew she was gonna die, so we had some time to prepare. Even then, her death doesn't really feel impactful? It really feels like it's just something that happened rather then a real hit.
I also just can't get myself to feel angry about it?? Like Crow is rearing up for vengeance Forsaken 2 electric boogaloo style. But it's war??? People die??? What's there to get revenge on??? We didn't "get revenge" for Rohan, we understood it was 1) war and 2) his choice. It's the same situation here. Her death is sad, it sucks. But she chose to sacrifice herself, its war.
Finally! I always use these as my desktop background
finally a full res version of the banner art 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This! I immediately thought of Sjur when Crow and Mara were talking about loss. I wish she brought up Sjur
caught up with the seasonal quest and i'm just absolutely baffled that mara didn't bring up sjur in her radio message with crow. not only is it a missed opportunity but it seems like such an obvious and fitting choice? why would she not bring up her dead wife when crow is struggling with grieving someone he loved? especially since crow has his memories of his life as uldren back and presumably remembers sjur... there was even a perfect opening when mara is like "i know what it's like to lose someone you love" and crow goes "are you talking about me?" she could've then talked about losing sjur and how hard it was and how she dealt with it etc. it really did feel like they meant to bring sjur back at some point but tbh at this point i don't even think they remember she exists :(
This is a very big oof.
kind of an insanely funny and tone deaf thing for mithrax to say to crow, who amanda refused to forgive before she died
Crow is obviously struggling with his grief but it’s sort of messed up, given everything he knows, to turn to YW and invite them on a vengeance crusade. Through Uldren he has first hand knowledge of just how far off the deep end they’re capable of going. How far does he want them to go? How much pain does he want them to cause? If he asks for scorched earth he’d probably get it. Given Amanda’s death happened during a mission they were involved in it’s likely another loss they feel somewhat personally responsible for.
I know there’s a lot of times different characters ask for YW to basically unleash rage upon their enemies but personally to me (just my headcanon basically) I always felt that, post Forsaken, it was meeting Crow and hearing about what he’d been through since he’d risen that started to wake YW up. And with his perspectives on our conflicts and enemies in the following seasons he reminded YW of the type of Guardian they could be. The type of Guardian they were when they showed Misraaks mercy all those years ago on Titan.
So it being him who is asking this of them just left me feeling hollow.
I love the season pass banners. They're always so pretty. Also, I must point out the hunter knife that is wedged into the table that Eris is working at. I love little reminders that she is indeed a hunter lol.

This seasons story got me all T^T.
It's hitting the feels hard l, forget just how invested I am in Destiny and these characters.
If this is how strong the story is starting this year I'll be a mess of emotions by final shape.
