Tired Talks - Tumblr Posts
I’m chill btw
don’t worry abt the all-caps post
that’s in-character talk for a Minecraft Destiny server
Mazerunner is not ok. Lad is facing The Horrors down in the Complex lmao
Joint pains for supernumerary limbs (wings, tails, extra arms or legs)
Uncontrollable shapeshifting, either whole or partially (spikes, wings, arms, eyes, etc)
Bad vision across more than two eyes
Seer’s migraines (basically you looked into the future too hard and now you have both constant deja vu and brain-splitting headaches)
Brain fog that manifests physically as well as mentally (cloud around your head)
Your memories literally escape you and you have to run around your house to catch and remember them
What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
ur not immune to the paws
get an ad for tumblr premium or whatever
go to close it
wonderful website
Does Lysander know anyone named Cassius or is my dream brain doing another prophecy?
I’m hearing faint music in the distance outside and it sounds like a music box
Not like an ice cream truck tho it’s abstract and pretty
I’m afraid this is like a fey hunting gambit and I’m being tracked
Had a D2 dream, but I can barely remember it
Most of what I remember is that Nezarec was there and something about Taken being given sentience in the Pale Heart (they were red and had anxiety)
I think there might’ve been prismatic things, and I remember a bunch of guardians wearing new (not in-game) exotics being trapped in pyramid amber
Also there was a new subclass, and I can only remember Warlock because a Hunter called them a bootleg rave tech. It was based around light beams or some shit, blinding and stunning enemies with big fuck off lasers
Context: I work at a PetSmart, “part time” as a cashier and animal care associate. I’m also a trans guy and a therian
Below the readmore bc there’s a lot
I’m pretty tolerant of most bullshit because I understand people have shit going on in their lives that I don’t know
But godDAMN please have your payment ready before you come up to my lane, I’m usually the only mf on register and I get ugly looks for having to call for backup
I don’t have time for you to count out 300 in small bills, and I probably don’t have change in the till for it either
and don’t look at me like I’m the ass when my shitty terminal crashes for trying to scan your stuff- this thing’s running windows xp on a touchscreen with the world’s most potato-ass router giving it internet access
like bro I’m here for 8hrs standing up doing an opening shift at 9am when I closed at 9pm last night; I got NO sleep, I’m being paid minimum wage because my hours are *just* below the border of full time but the company cucks me out of it over and over
I’ve been doing this so much that my shoulders are slipping out of their sockets and my skin is tearing at the waist from my uniform’s belt. I wouldn’t be surprised if my legs had stress fractures and that’s why my phantom shifts hurt so much lately
only reasons why I’m staying: my coworkers are cool, leaving would look bad on my resume, everywhere else is the same (or worse), I get to see cool pets every day, I get to be out and masc-presenting without my manager being an ass, and I get employee discounts on stuff that gives species euphoria
For any followers of mine who are retail workers, what’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to your customers?
Personally I hate when customers are talking on the phone while I’m checking them out. To me it’s so fucking rude.
My main Lancer, Ashton-212, was cloned from the near-obliterated remains of a legendary Lancer in a foundry’s attempt to make an army, but ended up as a battle-coward because while the biology persevered beyond death, the personality did not.
His hardsuit is modified to accommodate his cat ears and tail. He learns to overcome his cowardice via large explosions and mind-melting cockpit temperatures- courtesy of [THERMALLY CHALLENGED], his NHP-sentient Everest with a broken heat vent and a short-fuse personality
One of my favorite things about Lancer is the canonically accepted body modification. Like first of all trans people are fully written into the setting but also you can just put furries in there.
Like yeah this person went and got their body turned into a humanoid ermine. It's fluffy and it's going to fix your reactor. Your commander has cat ears. The pilot in the impossible probability machine next to you has a fat gator tail.
Thinking abt how Osiris, Misraakskel, and Nimbus would interact
Like, imagine a season where Osiris and Nimbus reach out to Misraaks for help with a Vex invasion on Neomuna
and the three of them find assimilated!Asher in the Vexnet commanding an entire legion of “corrupted” frames to wage war on the Sol Divisive or some shit
Could be an opportunity for Vex allies, even if temporarily
Seasonal armor could be similar to the Undying ornaments- Vex shit- but mixed with Splicer stuff, Neomuni tech, and maybe aspects of the Mercury sets
Weapons could be reprised Mercury and Splicer weapons, or even fusions of the two
aaaa i can’t stop thinking abt this, they’d be such cool friends after the initial awkwardness of learning each others’ cultures but they’re all massive NERDS who would love to learn that shit
Osiris from the “damn y’all look at vex completely different” angle
Nimbus from the “holy shit a friendly alien” angle
Misraaks from a “I wanna learn EVERYTHING about this place” angle
Misraaks makes a nest workstation in one of the lounges in the Neomuna LZ and Nimbus is so confused until Misraaks pops his head out of a pile of blankets to hand them a datapad covered in Vex data analytics or something
Osiris is just working on his own shit until Nimbus and Misraaks (who both tower over him bc he’s a short king) walk over with massive smiles and a board covered in unintelligible scribbles

The Neomuni definitely have like cameras and shit to watch the real world while in the CloudArk, and I bet that they watch Nimbus fight like a streamer broadcasting their game
Since Neomuna has more connections to Golden Age Humanity, I also bet the Neomuni talk like a very linguistic-later version of our timeline’s 20somethings
All this to say that Nimbus would 100% call Misraaks’ splicer gauntlet “poggers” (or the Neomuni equivalent)
Misraaks is confused as shit until he asks Eido what that means and she lights up like a Christmas tree because the Eliksni youth have their own versions of that and she immediately starts cross-referencing modern/golden age/Neomuni slang
Eido pesters her dad into letting her come to Neomuna one time and she and Nimbus almost instantly become friends

Had another Destiny dream last night, this time about a fireteam that fell victim to the Great Disaster.
It was a weird darkness memory sequence, and I wasn’t alone in it. I think a few of my clanmates were there. One of them, his Guardian was actually part of this fireteam- the sole survivor.
I remember a dark room preserved in finality-like architecture- a dorm that the fireteam had slept in, each bed with unique blankets. Being in the room, you could hear their voices. One sounded very young, almost childlike. They were happy, all six of them. They were a fireteam, yes, but they were also a family.
And then the Disaster. All six of them went to the moon, but only one made it out alive. We found the bones in a strange crevice? Vent? preserved in another finality structure. The bones spoke to the survivor- told him to run. Told him to turn his back on the past and run.
The room turned loud and red and cold, and we all felt the weight of darkness on our backs. Something came crawling down the corridor, screaming bloody murder. I never got to see it, but I could hear its claws scraping at the pyramid glass. We all ran as fast as our legs could carry us in the confined space, and the moment the last of us were out of the hallway, a dense slab of glass slammed it shut behind us.
The lone survivor cried. That wasn’t closure. That was ripping open an old wound. Whatever force manifested that place, it didn’t do so kindly.
The dream ended there.
tumblr keeps trying to open my browser app when a certain ad spawns
I’ve yet to catch it fully loaded but this feels like a straight security risk? Like I’m not even clicking the ad I’m just scrolling
would tag staff but we all know they do fuck all except ban trans folks for no reason
Had a dream last night that Bungie reissued Splicer weapons and the foundry perk was them talking to you. There was a Splicer hand cannon that had the voice of an angry bird named Carrot (?).
(The perk icon for the speaking parrot intrinsic was literally just a crunchy jpeg of a bird superimposed over the bottom right of the inspection screen. I remember it was green and yellow, looked kinda like a parakeet, and had a very smug aura about it.)
Also for some reason, the Splicer auto rifle had a different perk- there was a chance for some of its bullets to fire like the weird drifting projectiles that some Eliksni guns have
Also Misraaks was there at one point but I can’t elaborate on my sfw blog /hj
rough recreation

went to the gym today, hoping to get in shape so I can strengthen my shoulder (dislocated it years ago)
wanna get into paintball bc I’m missing laser tag and there’s no good arenas around for it
also bc I wanna make a decent Halloween costume and I don’t think my vessel would fit in its current state
I have SO MANY Risen OCs it’s insane and I can’t pick one so imma rapid fire one fact per Risen under the cut
Bitrik, my main Risen and Young Wolf (Awoken Hunter), is afraid of water. Season of the Deep was a nightmare for him lmao
Enjik-3, my in-game Exo Warlock, has metal wings that light on fire when she pops super. She always smells like burning metal
Alanor, my in-game Human Titan, used to be horribly racist towards Eliksni until he met an Eliksni Lightbearer named Ristrek who he developed a mad crush on
Speaking of Ristrek, he’s one of three Eliksni “brothers” who all wield the light. Ristrek himself is a bubble Titan and gives good hugs
Kirik is one of Ristrek’s brothers. He’s a multiclass Hunter, mostly doing arc but slowly learning others. He looks up to his big brother and Bitrik in equal measure, and has anxiety attacks that knock him out with the arc surges it makes
Tithariks is the youngest of the brothers, and is a pure Arc hunter. He has a hat made of an old shank chassis he found shortly after being rez’d for the first time. He also loves fishing, much to Bitrik’s chagrin
Ekira and Bonnie-21 are lesbians. Ekira is an Awoken Voidwalker, and Bonnie is a blade barrage Hunter. Ekira is perpetually freezing, so Bonnie acts as the space heater to her AC unit.
Qui’ora is a Psion Hunter who uses a specially-made Celestial Nighthawk to accommodate for her single eye. Her favorite planet is Mars, but she can’t really tell you why.
Rory is an Uluran Titan who specializes in arc. He also gives good hugs, and he’s trans! His helmet is modified to accommodate his tusks
Rorark is a Scarlet Hive Knight Titan that I haven’t fleshed out yet, but he and his partner Anviok are hired guns around the City
Anviok is a Scarlet Hive Acolyte Hunter and acts as Rorark’s cool head. They were killed in their first life by another Scarlet Hive for aligning with Savathûn during the swarm’s schism in Shadowkeep
Mazerunner is a weird dude. He’s not human (idk what he is), and he’s half Hunter half Warlock. He has ten eyes, gills, slits for mouths with mandibles underneath, and SO MUCH autism. He likes exploring the backrooms and going OoB.
Shifter isn’t human either. He’s a chimera, with limited shapeshifting. He has a HUGE crush on Misraakskel, and totally isn’t a self-insert
— BONUS: NON-LIGHTBEARER OCS—
Nyariks is an Eliksni who founded a tattoo and decal shop in the City. He’s pioneered carving and painting Exo chassis
Aetis-1 is an Exoliksi who escaped from House Salvation and looked for shelter with House Light. She’s queer-platonic-partnered with Nyariks, and the two of them run the shop.
Routrisk-2 is a Splicer Devil Baron who was also Exo-ified, but unfortunately his model is half-working and stricken with mood swings from hormone imbalances prior to his conversion. He frequents the Exo repair shops in the city to try and fix himself, but it’s not looking good
Kiran Vastis: Human female, civvie, Exo “surgeon.” In WAY over her head, has no idea how Eliksni biologically operate. Ends up with a “deal” with Routrisk-2, but I’m not elaborating here ;)
Iphaksis is a Salvation vandal who’s kind of a dick. He likes to snipe, idk he’s just a reoccurring heel like Rahndel
Malisovek is a Scorn pseudo-Baron who leads a pack of Scorn Wretches. She specializes in glaives and being a nuisance.
Bal’akan is an inert Psion and Rorark and Anviok’s “handler.” He gets them jobs around the City. Real sleazy type dude, butts heads with Spider a lot.
Phoebetor is a Vex Goblin who learned to simulate and eventually wield the Light. It partnered with a pack of Risen who eventually purged an errant Taken swarm in the Infinite Forest
Might be silly but let me try. I want to hear about other people's guardians. A random fact about them, maybe just something as simple as what they'd carry along everywhere or a joke they like to tell
