Linktober day 10: the fire temple

Ghosts cry too, you know.

(The desecration of a loved one vs the undying determination to help preserve the future… a tale as old as time memorial. The sage of fire had sealed himself in his temple, preserving his soul in preparation for the day Rauru’s seals were to break with Mineru’s technology. But the Malice does what it does best— corrupt and twist, until nothing was left except a dying wish.)

Unfortunately, nobody knows ancient Goronese. So that story’s sort of going right over their heads and nailing rauru’s weepy ghost in the skull.

This au is called Familiar Familiar, and is totk without the time travel! I’m basically building my own lore at this point.

Destiny 2 is a silly little looter shooter but also its a story about love and it did matter and continues to matter at every turn. Destiny 2 is the opposite of that post about the love being there but not changing anything. the love is there and it changes everything. we succeed because Elsie tells her sister that she's there and she loves her and she trusts her and she won't leave again. we get Mara back because Shuro Chi loved her. we defeat Savathun because she cares, because she feels betrayed, because she feels her sisters were betrayed with her and that care and love blinds her. we live because Mara learns to open herself up to love and refuses to walk away from her brother again and turns back for him this time. we win because Eramis loves her people too much to fully buy into the Witness and we win because Eido believes there's good in everyone and refuses to live in a world where people can't change. we win because Taranis loved Riven and their children and defied his own nature and starved himself to give them that love. we win because Rasputin loves humanity so much even though he was never meant to because Ana loved him so much she taught him every beautiful thing she knew. we win because despite their differences Ikora loves Zavala and Zavala loves Ikora and they couldn't live without each other. we win because Eris loved her fireteam too much to let phantoms of them ruin that love and she lived because Brya loved her enough to give her one last chance. we win because our ghost loves us. just because he loves us so much. and because we love him. and because Cayde loves Sundance and wants to spend eternity with her. we win because at every turn the characters choose to love and trust and forgive.

#destiny 2 #d2 #the final shape #I'm normal about it though #i know this is probably cringe Im just literally unwell and I also saw a man whining that tfs was “emasculating”#which like buddy I dont know what game youre playing #but the one i play is about love and forgiveness and wishes and magic and who has the prettiest outfits #daring to turn reblogs on again if I regret it they’ll go off again

adding to the "there should have been more genuine tension within the seven" train of thought, it would have been funny if the Argo II, technically being a ship, meant it fell under Percy's power domain and he could control it all at whim, rendering all the carefully crafted controls Leo built useless if Percy felt like being an asshole

#Leo “this ship is my destiny” Valdez vs Percy “ships fall under my daddy's domain which means Im the captain now ” Jackson #real talk we could have gotten a part where the seven disagreed on where they should be going next #maybe its a 4-3 split #and its just getting more and more heated (with Leo and Percy on opposing sides)#and it turns into this thing where they're both trying to direct the ship #which only gets the others involved and pissed #(actually its been so long since I read hoo I can't remember if the argo 2 was self-flying or if Leo had to actively guide it)#mine

"Huh."

#as with every game with some human mind stuffed into a machine i need to ask if he still has human instinct left in there somewhere #also i don't really think ordan would eat elegantly like some royalties anyways #you know the more i read about ordis the more i like him #i mean i never thought his talking is annoying like some people do apparently #but after going through the cephalon fragment thingy my thoughts about him-#-turned from “ominously happy” to “murderous but also kinda cute happy”#and you'd think it should be the other way around #hey if he has erased his memory a lot of times and probably has gone through the same reasoning-#-every time he chooses memory erasure rather than self destruction because he would probably also remember the previous attempts #will he someday choose the other option instead because of all the pain he endured?#(hopefully not i actually like him it's not destiny 2 i hope DE don't just yeet characters off their game that frequently)#also i like how he can take up some ordan karris knowledge by treating it as some stories / facts about others but not about himself #neat but he probably would have to erase his memories more often because it's still about ordan karris i guess #warframe #warframe operator #warframe ordis #ordis #my art

im not a fan of modern merthur but the idea of them meeting in modern times and introducing themselves to each other and them laughing and bonding over their names being connected to the myth of king arthur and camelot is just so cute

#like i prefer canon fics #magic and royalty and knights and dangerous quests etc etc #but the idea of merlin being teased for sharing a name with the great wizard of legend #which means he has Too Much knowledge on all things camelot #and then meeting arthur pendragon and going #‘no fucking way’ and his first question when arthur introduces himself is ‘as in king arthur of camelot?’#and arthur (never been told that before) is like ‘wtf?? no?? but interesting first response pls tell me more im intrigued’#and merlin introducing himself with a laugh #them bonding over it and making jokes like #‘finally. where have you been?? i’ve been looking for you’#‘wheres my crown’#‘must be destiny’#‘ill turn you into a toad’#etc etc #so cute #so funny #i love them #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merthur

brennan predicting that murph would be the only one to die after the orange top hat bit and then murph being the only one who dies. obsessed with how yet again gods silliest gooses remain immortal while plot hound murph remains perpetually stuck in a glue trap

I keep thinking about Merlin’s love for Arthur and how it’s so clearly portrayed in the show to the point that it practically drives the plot of the show. However when it comes to Arthur’s love for Merlin it’s more subtle and sometimes difficult to even grasp, and I started thinking why that was, aside from the obvious fact that Arthur has a lot of trouble expressing his emotions affection or otherwise. I think it also lies in the fact that Merlin knows Arthur intrinsically throughout the show; he is one of the closest people to Arthur, and sees him for who he really is. Arthur admits as much.

Sure, Arthur knows Merlin but the main part of the plot is that he really doesn't know Merlin. Merlin wants him to desperately understand him and “see me for who I am” but he can't yet. And I think this subconsciously creates a barrier in the way in which Arthur can care for Merlin, and how Merlin can let himself be seen by Arthur.

Which is why I think he was also so hurt when the magic reveal happens because more than the betrayal of Merlin having magic, it was the betrayal of Merlin not letting Arthur see him for who he really is and for hiding a main part of himself. Arthur says it himself “why did you never tell me” that’s what hurt him the most.

I think the most damning piece of evidence for this is the fact that while we see snippets of Arthur’s feelings for Merlin thought the show, the biggest signs are in the last episode after the magic reveal; in which he finally gets to understand Merlin, and this time REALLY know Merlin, and as the barriers of what held them back from understanding each other truly fall away, Arthur evidently “falls in love with Merlin all over again”. We see him actually express himself to Merlin.

This is another reason why I think if anyone was ever to create another season of Merlin after Arthur’s return, it’s physically impossible not to make it about Merlin and Arthur acknowledging their feelings for each other. Because there is no way forward without them acknowledging how deeply they care for each other, obviously anyone is free to argue what kind of love that is, but its impossible not to see the deep love there either way.

They always knew they loved each other, just maybe never realising how much and what that means, because its almost second nature to everything that they do.

#merlin meta #bbc merlin #merthur #ignore me im literally just rambling #im not sure this even makes sense but i had to yap it out anyway!!#i think merlins love for Arthur surpasses his destiny in a way #He foresakes himself and his people just to ensure Arthur lives #but that turned out to be the undoing of them all #I cannot stress enough how insane this makes me #its sometimes harder to look at Arthur and understand how his love for merlin takes form #but the way he starts taking small steps to check in on merlin when he's being particularly quiet #or noticing the changes in merlin is a good indicator because it is so completely opposite his nature #and ofc the way in which he trusts merlin so completely #remember this is a man who has constant problems with people he chooses to trust #and he also shows time and time again how far he's willing to go beyond the accepted norms to also protect merlin #I think it was always harder for him to allow himself to open about his emotions #and it was much easier to keep it under lock and key to avoid it being seen as a weakness #Obviously thanks to Uthers A+ parenting which could not have helped #but as the seasons go on he begins to open up and thats no small part in thanks to merlins influence in his life #and when it comes to the finale they are both boiled down to raw emotion having to face each other #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon

the thing with destiel well we go there will never be another them and the thing about destiel is. everyone goes oooooh soulmates ooooh destiny fated lovers and sure okay. but also get back to me when your chosen special guys failed to come together in every single universe except this one. when the authorgod themself tried to keep them apart and failed. metanarratively as well. quite literally in this one universe. every other version played out their fates followed their destiny stuck to the script. except here. in spite of it all the love was here.

#oh you guys fell in love because it was literally your destiny? my guys fell in love as the creator of the universe tried to stop it at #every turn and they were destined to be apart. Who doing it like destiel well the answer is nobody. if im being honest
