Quinn Laghari is honestly one of my favourite characters in Destiny. She's not some guardian legend, she's not a super-soldier or a paracausal entity of any sort. She's a fucking librarian. She has one of the most normal, grounded jobs in a science fiction setting. Because even far into the future, records still need caretakers. She has multiple PhDs. She gives sarcastic tours of her own archive. She flirts with you, regardless of your species or gender. She canonically has a prosthetic leg, although currently only manifests as a hologram. She's absolutely vicious, she comes up with absolutely brutal methods of fighting off the Cabal invasion. She is the character ever. Quinn Laghari, I love you so much

bing bang boom, stargaritas on Rohan

I *love* this line, its probably the exchange that warmed me up to Nimbus. Look, I know Lightfall and the Neomuna and the Cloud Striders are divisive topics, but let's ask the important questions here: How much stargarita does one serve to a cloud strider? Can Miko have the same serving? Yes, I am roughly the size of one cloud-strider leg and NOT structurally integrated with nanites...is that a problem?

- Miko, wondering if any day can be Friday if you try hard enough

NGL I kind of fell victim to the recap episode trope on this but having just crested 25 parts to this series maybe it was necessary.

Also fuckit I wanted a nice convo with Osiris and Nimbus fite me ❤️‍🔥

I really want to show you my Guardian (guy from my avatar, yeah). This dude is a really stupid loser, but very kind and brave. The main thing is to remind him that the grenade launcher should not be pointed at his feet.

Translation:

Guardian: Oh, hey! Do you want to hear about my exploits?

Ghost: What are you doing here? Don't you see, my Guardian has been killed!.. again.

Cloudstrider Monuments

Okay, i was gonna write this a while ago but never did. So, my boyfriend and I were hanging out in the Hall of Heroes after we finished the Strider exotic quest. My bf realized it there seemed to be way too many monuments around the room, considering the few things we knew off hand:

The collapse was 1600 years ago. We know this tidbit from Petra Venj. In the lore entry "Refusal" from Forsaken, there is this line: "She [Petra] bites back the rest: how she wishes that back in two-thousand-and-whatever, when the Darkness hurled mankind off the height of its Golden Age to plummet sixteen centuries into barbarism, it had done just a slightly better job." So we know that Neomuna have been around for approximately 1600 years.

Cloudstriders live 10 years, due to the augmentations they go through.

There are only ever two cloudstriders at once.

Alright, with this knowledge, we decided to count up all the monuments in the room and around it, which gave us 480 monuments. This number might not be entirely accurate, but it gives us a good estimate. Now let's divide this by two (since there are two cloudstriders at once) and we are down to 240. If this is multiplied by 10 (for the max amount of years a cloudstrider could live) we get 2400 years.

2400 years of Cloudstriders. Now, obviously this doesn't take into account that cloudstriders can die on duty (like Rohan), but it seems that the Neomuni live in relative peace besides occasionally dealing with the Vex. This also doesn't take into account the early days of Neomuna. We don't know how many cloudstriders there are at once originally, but it seems like there have never been many. We also don't really know how new/old of a concept cloudstriders are. Was Strider, the first cloudstrider, around 1600 years ago or more recently? So yeah, if we think cloudstriders have been around for 1600 years and you minus 1600 from 2400, that's still a good 800 years. It seems weird that there would be that many Cloudstriders. But who knows.

Honestly, my bf and I probably just over analyzed the Hall of Heroes after we got done roasting Quinn for being a bad archivist and having none of this important archival material to Neomuna's history backed up. So take this all with a grain of salt. Except for the 1600 years detail. I think a lot of people don't realize that D2 takes place in at least 3600 CE (and it's probably a lot later than that cause of we don't know how long the golden age was).

Never going to find it anything other than hilarious that Osiris had a whole set up transported to Neomuna.

Like, I just picture Ikora saying YW and Osiris are going to be on Neptune awhile and planning what they may need sending. All firmly grounded in logistics. Then there’s Saint,

“He’ll need his chairs, his books, a nice rug… oh braziers…”

His aesthetic; he can’t function without his aesthetic.

[sketchmatters]

They're finally here! New little guys are up in my Ko-Fi shop!!! 🥹

[nightstalkerhunterguardian]

Alright, I’m gonna say it.

Neomuna is Polynesian. Between the aesthetic and design of the city and Rohan and Nimbus’s physical features, it’s Polynesian. The designs on the buildings would 100% be seen on a pareo. Rohan looks like several of my uncles in Hawaii. Nimbus has my cheekbones. The ‘plants’ and little ponds they have indoors. The artwork on the walls of the other cloudstriders and color use.

Neomuna is futuristic Hawaii/Samoa.

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

Rohan doodle

Glad that we finally got a clearer image of the murals because I love them so much!

When looking at these murals, not only did I notice that they are vaguely veil-shaped, but that the far right one seems to have a sort of prophecy on it.

You can see this depiction of what looks to be an old man/cloudstrider (Rohan), along with a lone cloudstrider hunched down on the ground (Nimbus) who appears to be grieving or in distress. There’s also a singular lightbearer depicted (the Young Wolf) and a small planet in the corner above their head.

(p.s. not sure why my marked-up versions wont load, but I’ll come back and add them when I can)

(p.s.p.s I know evaze legit just made a video on this, but I'd like to let everyone know this has been sitting in my drafts since launch)
