Hello, Eris Morn Fan... I want to play a game.
The rules are simple: You have 6 hours to write a fanfic, draw fanart, construct a lore essay, meta post, or other piece of Eris-centric speculative or creative content. However, in the course of creating this ... you must exclude The Drifter from her narrative. Platonic or romantic. As a co-starring character, or referential callback.
Not even a "trust" will be permitted.
Should you fail, Seth Dickinson will write into the next Collector's Edition booklet a scene where Eris comes out as lesbian and/or some combination of aro/ace, instantly collapsing both the D2 team's and fandom's interest in her as a beloved piece of M/F ship-bait and romantic prize for the funnyguy of the moment, the only two things women in this fandom (like most fandoms) are allowed to be.
Work quickly... time is running out.
#I'm sorry but going into the destiny tag on AO3 and seeing 10 bajillion drifter/eris fics and like three ikora/eris fics#and even fewer platonic ikora & eris or eris & xivu or eris & sav fics#in the season that centers on eris' relationships to ikora and xivu and savathun#makes me want to bite#like i get that fandom writ large doesn't care about women characters and cares about woc characters even less#so its not surprising. per se.#but its disappointing that EVEN WHEN the writing seems to be making an earnest attempt at exploring eris' relationships with women#(admittedly with an element of drifter/eris subtext because we can't have shit)#everyone still ignores it.#synnthposting#ask 2 tag
