Hey, I know a lot of queer people follow me, especially young trans people, and I just wanted to say that I know everything is scary right now, and it's probably going to be scary for a while longer, but it's not the end.

I've seen a few posts floating around saying that you need to survive to outlive Trump or to spite the people that put him in office, and if that's what keeps you going, then hold onto that. Spite is as good a reason to live as any, and god knows we've got every reason to be spiteful right now.

But if that's not enough, if you can't hold on to spite, then I need you to stay alive for hope, and love, and community, and the future. I need you to stay alive because you deserve to live, and to get top surgery, and to start HRT, and to love openly. You deserve to have dinner with people you care about, and to wear something that makes you happy, and to build a life that you want to live, even if you have to do it brick by painstaking brick.

You deserve all of that, and so do your friends, and so does your family, and so does every other queer and otherwise marginalized person that he's going to go after, but we can only get there if we're alive to do it. So you need to survive. You need to check on your friends. You need to find the communities around you, and, if there isn't one, then you need to look harder because I promise you community is never as far as you think.

It's going to be hard. It's going to be miserable, and terrifying, and enraging, but you need to do it. If not for yourself, then for the people around you who need it just as much as, if not more than, you do.

Remember, there are millions of queer people out there who love you. I know because I'm one of them, so, when I say this, I need you to understand that I mean it.

Stay safe, stay together, and stay alive.

Oh boy, frame by frame analysis time wheee!!!

It’s definitely not the grenade launcher. We can clearly see the grenade launch along its proper trajectory (also it’s a stasis weapon not an arc weapon).

The moment the marauder fires the lord of wolves, a large arc explosion occurs. Considering where we are in the EDZ… not many options for arc explosions, especially of that size. It’s really just skiffs. It’s possible that the marauder and a departing skiff hit you simultaneously and the game tried to blame the no longer present skiff resulting in “misadventure”.

That’s my best guess.

What just happened?  Seriously Destiny what even hit me?

Don’t worry, I’ve been told I’ll get advanced notice if the world is ending from my buddy in Poland. I’ll make sure to keep you all posted on that. Of course, he also had an interesting thing to tell me, which I will quote because I think a lot of folks need to hear this. However, saving that for a little bit later because I feel like folks could use a bit of a motivational speech (I gave my first one today focused on hope, and boy do we need it).

Here goes.

I want to start by reminding people that it’s ok to feel. Whether that’s anger, sadness, hope, happiness, or whatever else you’re feeling, it is ok to feel them. Emotions should not be suppressed. I work very hard to ensure that I am a part of a community that is not only safe, but somewhere I can call home. I am always willing to invite more people into my home, especially in times of need as feeling safe is something everyone deserves.

I know that when faced with outcomes such as these, it is considerably easier to live with a victory than a loss. This is why this I am speaking about hope, having hope. I understand that not everyone has hope right now. If you do have it, please try to share some of that hope with those that do not have it. If you do not have it, hopefully you can find some in this reblog.

I am fairly certain that everyone has had the experience when something doesn’t go their way. In the realm of Ninja (the obstacle course racing variety), this is rampant. Perhaps we fell on the first obstacle of a course, or perhaps we missed qualifying for finals by mere seconds. When this happens, we have two choices. We can either stay down and let the negativity eat away at us, or we can get back up and keep training and trying until we reach our goal.

Unfortunately, we can only do that during training. On a course, when we fail obstacle one, that’s it, we don’t get a second chance. We don’t have that choice to stay down or get back up as we can’t change the outcome. As depressing as that sounds, it’s true.

You can’t change what happened and you don’t get the choice to “get up and try it again”. But we don’t have to sit and cry, complain, or hide from it either. We don’t have to give up.

Right now, there are lots of us that are down. We have communities that we feel safe and welcome in to support us when we need them. Together, as we refuse to give up, we can do each and every thing to help better our communities. It may not be a large difference, but a difference is a difference, and a difference matters! We can leave a smile, a compliment, or even a positive message behind because if someone is having a rough day, those small actions can make a large difference for them.

I encourage you to try to bridge outside of your comfort zone and meet new people, join new communities and try to spread some positivity in the world. I did so earlier today by giving a very similar speech to this one and again now by posting an abbreviated version of it. Do your best to make a difference with all people, no matter who they are, what they look like, or what they stand for. Because we will overcome whatever is thrown our way together, and by helping those that are struggling to overcome their own obstacles. We will believe and we will have faith. We may not know who or what to believe in, but we all know that we can believe in each other.

To finish us off, that quote from my friend in Poland.

“Remember that life is a long distance race. In a few months, a lot will change. In a few years, whole world will look completely different. Don’t lose your energy and faith in being a good person. World will need good people.”

Choose to be kind, caring, compassionate, and empathetic.

I’m signing off for now, maybe I’ll return with the next one I end up giving.

All we can do now is hope.

What have you done, America?

I am anguished, I am heartbroken, I am afraid of what’s coming for people I love. I am shocked that my country just gave 247 years of Democracy away over one night. We live in a different country now, than we did when we woke up, yesterday. Exactly how violent and cruel and hateful this new country is has yet to be revealed, but it’s going to be pretty terrible. I fought hard to prevent this. We…

I remember hearing this line with my old fireteam! Back when I… HAD… a fireteam… that’s a different story altogether though. Anyways, we looked at each other and over the VC we all collectively agreed right there and then that yep, they were flirting and that yep, they would be a couple.

Ah great, now I remember that I miss having a fireteam.

They told me to make her fall in love, I had to make her laugh. But everytime she laughs. I'm the one who falls in love.

Boops!

[garuda4321]

Apparently quite a few of us don’t know who MatPat is… though to answer your question, Bill Nye.

Had a thought

[garuda4321]

Rather brilliantly too, I may add.

Tumblr mention!!😳😌

Please reblog if YES so your followers will know!

Regarding, “the jerk” as you so politely called that thief, you need to vanquish their underlings a lot to get requiem murmur progress. Then you have your selection of requiem murmurs (Fass, Lohk, Xata, etc.) that you acquire from requiem relics. You need to put them in the correct order to make them flee to space (I know Liches go to Saturn, uncertain where Sisters go). Then railjack mission, board and kill, either mercy them (they become your friend) or vanquish them (you get their weapon like Twin Kuva Stubbas, Kuva Nukor etc.)

The wiki probably does a better job clarifying but hopefully that helps!

koumei spoiler? i mean that mission is so short i don't think i even need readmore

dark mode ui? i don't even know i WANT this

seriously?

fuck how do i kill that jerk

please tell me i can finally stop worrying about warframe and weapon slots

Hey, @aquatark isn’t this both shown and explained in Blue World? Somewhere near Triton in Ciceros Strait? Or is my memory acting up again?

Weekly Reset is on Hiatus until October 22nd

For those that have been following the past couple updates, I’ve mentioned my uncle a few times and how he’s doing better but still not great. Fortunately, the hiatus is not because he passed.

Unfortunately, the hiatus is because my grandfather passed away rather unexpectedly on September 19th. Despite not playing Destiny, he was undoubtedly one of my largest supporters for the infographics. He always enjoyed watching me grow artistically (if we call weekly reset art). Things feel empty without him. I know that reading about the passing of someone isn’t easy, certainly isn’t easy for those that lose them, so I’ll keep it to that.

If people want details on who he was, please ask, I will share what I can. But I figured all… *checks notes* 2-4 of you that regularly interact with reset should know about the hiatus. I’ll still be here

@exasperated-hand

I realized I really wanted some pride flag dice! So I made these one and I'm stoked. If you wanna roll initiative wearing your colors you can find these in my Redbubble, Teepublic, and Threadless!

[garuda4321]

@exasperated-hand

All of the Prehistoric Pride guys in one collective post to celebrate pride month. Choose your fighter and have an awesome time :D

More suggestions are always welcome, I sadly was not able to cover everyone, but I will do more of these in the future!

I am going to add more and more to the collection as I get them done :D

If you would like to support my silly little dinosaur art, then you can buy any of these Prideaurs as stickers from my Etsy shop, which I just set up recently. I am pretty new to this entire business side of art things, but I am trying my best :D so a like or a reblog would go a long way. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words and support!

Weekly Reset for September 10 - 17

Let’s see. Salad Man and the inedible banana return. Destiny turned 10… not much else notable comes to mind.

That being said: story time! I first played D1 back in 2016 because my late uncle had passed away and I got his Xbox and games. I… was not very good back then. Fast forward to the end of Season of Undying (season 8). Randomly picked up D2. Found a group to play with that very quickly became my go to fireteam. Season of Dawn (9)… absolute favorite season to date. It was just everything I could have asked for. Got real close to some of my fireteam members and met plenty more friends. Then Seraph happened and… there went some of my fireteam. Arrivals came and I made more friends was in the process of forging a new fireteam. Then Beyond Light hit. Suddenly I’m the last one standing. Been trudging through as a solo player since really. Sure, few friends here and there, but nothing like the fireteams I’ve lost. Hard to believe that I’ve been here for 15 seasons and doing reset for 6 of them (I started in Plunder, didn’t actually start posting here until recently).

Come October there will be a “throwback” post to commemorate where the reset journey started and where it is now.

Alright, catch everyone next week!

(Completely unrelatedly, Uncle is doing better and the docs think he might be out this week!)
