[thorough-witness-enjoyer]

(Small, frivolous rant incoming, apologies)

One thing I wish the Destiny fandom did more of was dabble in the utter horror this universe holds, especially when it comes to portraying the vile atrocities committed by many of the cosmic level characters.

Destiny‘s T rating holds it back so much in my opinion (but it still manages to lay down excellent foundations for horror and more mature themes!!) and I really wish there was more fan works that explored the unimaginable tragedies that occur in lore!!

When you really dwell on the scale of many of the disasters that happen in lore, it really dawns on you just how sinister and monstrous many of the larger villains are. Antagonists like Eramis are much more grounded, certainly not saints though, but some of the antagonists we have encounter are truly odious in their behaviors, even if they are deluded into thinking what they are doing is correct (like the Osmium siblings ravaging whole star systems in pursuit of the sword).

For example, it’s no secret that I LOATHE the Witness like no other. This wicked entity has me fighting bile at the mere thought of it and I truly think the way it delivers cruelty with such a sense of compassion and righteousness to be the most stomach wrenching form of being baneful. I could not think of an entitlement more deplorable than the Witness‘ and it’s existence is a travesty that has caused irreparable harm that spans EONS.

Yet, in my experience, I never see much content that taps into the horrors experienced by those touched by the Witness and its pawns, such as the Noesis and humanity during the collapse. There are INCREDIBLE artistic and written works that tap into the psychological horrors of exos and the unethical hell Clovis was putting people through, but not as many on the more cosmic horrors from what I have seen!!

This may just be a me thing and the personal reasons why I want the Witness put under a hydraulic press speaking, but I often see plenty of depictions of the Witness being uncharacteristically soft and having deeper feelings towards its disciples, but works about its vengeful rage, simple mindedness, violation of the autonomy of others, and predatory grooming are quite barren.

I wish to see just how HEINOUS it is displayed in all its turpitude and how it leaves a festering rot on everything and everyone it touches. I love the Witness because it is so evil in it‘s actions and my heart SINGS any time I see people tap into the trauma it causes, especially for characters like Rhulk or Savathûn!!

There is so much room for exploring just how vast the Destiny universe is when you decenter perpetrators in stories and focus on the incomprehensible number of victims.

Destiny genuinely has a character running around with the title „The Final God of Pain“ haunting people and refusing to permanently die, but there is only so much a T rated game can do and I feel like Destiny enjoyers can go beyond what’s in game in such creative ways!! Just thinking of the fall of Torobatl has me going „Wow, I’m actually so sick to my stomach, I need to honor Caiatl and really capture the pain of such an event!“

The latest lore on the Qugu? My chest HURTS.

Some of the hive experimentations? The hive in general? Hell is not hot enough for what the Witness lead them into.

But you know what they say, be the change you want to see in the world! Create the content you want to enjoy and promote the content you do enjoy!! I wish to dabble into the darker areas of lore, and of course, promote Witness hatred any chance I get!! Hopefully I get more time to write about these things and really value the work the Destiny writers have put into portraying such strong feelings of loss time and time again!!

And also!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read The Garden‘s Witness by Titanmaster_117 !!! ESPECIALLY THE FIRST CHAPTER, I COULD RANT ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROSE ALL DAY, IT GENUINELY MADE ME CRY!! PROMOTE THE CONTENT YOU ENJOY ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!!

But this is just something I’ve been thinking for some time now. This isn’t condemning anyone in the fandom or saying there is an issue, just a desire I would love to see (and hopefully fulfill if I ever get back into writing for Destiny!) If you guys have any recommendations for Destiny works that are horrific, focus on themes of loss and devastation, or hate on the Witness, feel free to mention them so other people can find them!!

Not enough Witness hate going around for my liking… this looks like a job for me.

Read this fic which combines two of my current favorite brain worms and I had to doodle the boys

Trailblazer!Jou is just so good thank u @alectoperdita for the delicious meal

thinking about Stanley being institutionalized in the context of Same Coin Theory. in the throws of an intense psychotic break, remembering things that tear at the walls of his human brain. thinking he’s back in the theraprism. an intense sensation of dysmorphia, displacement…

perhaps even a sudden loss of coordination, like he isn’t sure how to move his body around anymore.

maybe he’s picked up after a suicide attempt? point is, he’s checked in and his mental health deteriorates rapidly. shadow out of time energy.

I’m probably never gonna finish this so here’s the group having a movie night at Wilbur’s house after a case when they were younger.

Picture one has no words

Picture two

Wilbur: Sheila, move over you’re taking up the whole couch.

Picture three

Sheila: Sorry Wiley, only girls allowed. Boy’s on the floor.

Picture four

Wilbur: It’s my couch! And what, you just kicked poor Duke to the floor you monster?

Picture five

Duke: I like sitting on the floor! It’s comfortable!

Picture six

Sheila: Hey, pass the popcorn up here!

Responses not pictured

Wilbur: Sorry Sheila, no girls allowed. Only boys on the floor get popcorn in my house.

Sheila: What? So you’re just gonna let Holly starve?

Wilbur: She’ll live.

(Duke has been passing Holloway popcorn all night)

What do y’all think Fiddleford would be in a MonsterFalls au? 🤔

I just like asking questions and would like to hear y’all’s thoughts

[theborzoiarebackintown]

I know this is diverging from my regular posts a bit, but one of my fav things about borzoi is how much art of the breed there is, old and new. I picked these light switch covers up from a couple other people in the fancy and they are awesome! They’re from the 80s and will add a level of cool to my house you guys wish you could achieve 💅🏻

Cotton candy date

Inspired by this prompt I made

[quibbs126]

You know what, Dragon Cacao is overplayed, what about Dragon the other Ancients?

I feel like one that could be the easiest is Golden Cheese, given her wings (even if they technically aren’t part of her body) and her claiming to have hatched out of an egg that’s actually a dragon egg painted gold. You can just say her dragon parent was a feathered one or something

Or Hollyberry considering her whole connection with dragons, specifically Pitaya. But maybe don’t make Pitaya her parent, just since hollytaya is a big ship. Though if you want to interpret their relationship like that, considering hollytaya isn’t actually canon or heavily implied to be, go ahead

Or maybe you could do White Lily, and maybe that’s the reason she wanted to learn Dragontongue. She’s part dragon but can’t actually speak their language

Or if you want to be really bold, Pure Vanilla. I don’t think he has any sort of connection to dragons, but you could do it, get creative with it

Or heck it, all of them are part dragon, who knows?

I’m just saying, there’s creative potential here

[emily-mooon]

Noticed there wasn’t a ton of photocheer fanart and I wanted to change that (which why isn’t there more these two dorks are so cute together!!!!)

[drasticemotions]

An experiment with painting on paper instead of fabric!

Idk why I keep painting sunset-ish scenes, but I’m having fun lol

[eli-am-confused]

So um here’s some characters from a Hatchetfield au I got an idea of. More information after the break. But also if you wanna know more I’m happy to share. I don’t have a lot right now but ideas are flowing.

Prince Howard Goodman the “eldest” and crown prince of the royal family. He’s a very diplomatic person but not great in a fight.

Captain John MacNamara the captain of the royal guard. Charged himself with the responsibility of Keeping Prince Howard safe.

Captain Wiley, formally Wilbur Cross captain of the royal guard now a pirate. He’s actually technically the first mate of the Wiggly as it’s captain is the god Wiggog Y’Wrath but Wiley tends to take care of all the heavy lifting when it comes to others.

Douglas Keane an orphaned amnesiac named for his adoptive father Douglas Keane Sr the former captain of the guard that keeps their little island town safe. Douglas Keane was nicknamed Duke of the Lost or Duke for short not only due to his own past but also because he runs the islands only orphanage and takes care of any kid that needs it.

Captain Holloway is a witch that also just so happens to be a pirate on occasion. She used to be the apprentice to the kings magician but after an accident she had to flee as no one could remember who she or a friend of hers were.

Sheila Young is a noble woman who has a tendency to dabble in both the dark arts and piracy. A noble woman gets bored of the monotony of courtly life after all. She and Holloway have a difficult relationship.
