#The dawning

[sad-wet-cat-hannibal]

Im *actually* crying over the Exo Stranger one. Elsie's so touched by having something that might seem so small. That's how devoid her life has been of small moments of kindness.

All that time spent looping a nightmarish timeline, looking for the one occasion where maybe things wouldn't all go wrong.

And even before that, how many small moments like this did she get to experience with her family? I hope many, but who knows.

(the shaxx one is funny, I love the horrifying implications regarding how he eats)

Happy Dawning Part 2

“And that’s when she killed him sir.”

So this little comic was brought about by me and my sister’s late night gaming session on Destiny a while back. We joked about Drifter giving Eris a flashlight so she “could wield the light again!” Then laughing as we imagined Eris’ reaction. Needless to say - this is what I imagine. Ah Drifter, you deserve everything she is going to unleash on you. 😂

Might do a follow up picture of him apologizing to her with some bento “winks”

HAPPY DAWNING GUARDIANS!!!

If you weren't making dawning cookies during Riven's monologue, are you even playing the game correctly?

Happy Dawning season everyone! I'm super busy before Christmas (I have taken way, way too many DIY gifts upon myself whoops) so I'm not very active on the blog, but today I hopped into the game after about a month of not playing and was hit again with this sense of wonder I've long missed... Despite all my difficult feelings about the story, this is still such a lovely game I have many fond memories connected to, and it always gets me twice as hard during the Dawning. I'm very grateful for these nearly five years in the fandom, for all the friends I've made and how much I've grown as a writer, for every kind word, for every time my work made someone feel something. I don't say it enough, I think; I tend to spiral into complaining because I'm unable to keep a thought to myself, but I'm trying to get better at grieving the bad and appreciating the good in a more or less equal measure. So... thank you. For being here. And happy holidays <3

This Dawning, give your ghost a gift that will make them feel special:

A Cabal warbeast pup, or a Screeb. Or hey, why not both??

Let your ghost know that you love them!

🤦‍♂️: you've been talking to Drifter again, haven't you?

Dawning treats - The Crow

The Crow & Reader [No Relationship Stated]

Warnings - A very stressed hunter-vanguard. I posted this from my phone, so format might be bad

Notes - Happy Dawning Part 2! In honor of Crow who absolutely deserves Dawning treats this season and isn’t getting them. He’s my favorite <3 Also, the reader is stated to be the main Guardian and is at one point implied to be a hunter. Please ignore that if you aren’t! I’m a hunter so most things I write are from a hunter's perspective.

After the mission into the Traveler, Crow had taken up Cayde’s job as hunter vanguard. At least it wasn’t you, right? Crow is doing great, really! But… he’s so stressed all of the time. He’s worried about the scorn, and all the work a vanguard has to do, and he’s worrying people aren’t fully accepting of him being the one to take up the position. Especially with some hunters saying that ‘he isn’t their vanguard’.

So what better to help than cookies? Biscotti specifically is one of his favorite treats. So once Dawning rolls around, you get to work baking a whole bunch.

Once you have a box full, you’re finally satisfied. You tuck away the recipe book in your cabinet and clean your hands before making a batch of coffee and inviting Crow over to your apartment.

Crow takes nearly an hour to arrive. In fact, Glint is at your door first, apologizing and telling you his guardian is finishing up something important. You pat the ghost's shell and let him inside.

“Please tell me he’s actually wearing something winter-appropriate this year. He nearly freezer to death last winter, I swear.”

Glint makes a noise you assume is a sigh. “No, he isn’t. He thinks his body is warm enough from using solar that he doesn’t have to.”

You sigh in response. Crow opens the door followed by a flurry of snow. He shoves the door closed and greets you with a wave. His hair tie is missing, and his hair is loose. It looks… funny, especially with his new undercut.

You smile and offer him one of the hair ties you keep on you and he happily accepts.

“So… why did you need me, Guardian?”

“Nothing vanguard related. Promise.”

He relaxes and sits on your beat-up couch. Sure, you could afford a new one, but you liked this one just fine.

“Cookies.” You gesture to the box on the wooden coffee table in front of him. “Happy Dawning, bird boy.”

He opens the box and stares for a moment. “...I didn’t think I'd be getting any of these this year?”

“Why is that? You’re a vanguard now if anything you should be getting more.”

“Eva lost the recipe to make them. She felt terrible about it. Made me a pie as an apology.”

“Lucky I write these things down then, hu?”

“Guess I am.” He takes a bite out of the chocolate biscotti. “Great, as always Gaurdian. Thank you.”

You sit with him for hours, talking and drinking coffee while your ghosts chatter away in the window. A wonderful way to spend the holiday.
