rotating something in my brain rn but like i think i might let my lil guardians retire once final shape is over (and possibly move on with them) (no spoilers here just a long post)

like unless bungo pulls something insanely good or interesting out of their ass I'm probably going to put the end of their story there. like d2 will probably go on and on until it runs itself aground like a ship on a sandbar (because it's not profitable for bungo to stop updating the game weather or not it'd be better for the story if they laid the game to rest.) and i've seen what happens when a story goes on longer than it should. so i suppose you could say I'm putting my foot down wrt my ocs. whatever happens, the end of the light and darkness saga will be the end of their tales as well. they've done plenty and seen plenty and i think it'd be fitting if they were finally allowed to rest, to go home, to figure out what they're going to do with themselves now that their greatest threats are vanquished. If all you've ever known for the past ten or so years has been world ending threat after world ending threat, what do you do now that there aren't any more of them? What did it cost you to win and how do you deal with that? Whatever New Big Bad bungie comes up with probably won't be as interesting to me as the answers to those questions. So I'll probably just make some canon divergent "postcanon" oc stuff and dip. maybe go revisit some of the old lore, maybe check in from time to time to see what new unhinged nonsense the canon narrative is up to. idk

i just know i can't keep going on forever. all stories need an ending, and it is far better to plan for it and end with grace than to have to rush because you're running out of profits. I think I'd prefer to end with grace, let the corporation crash and burn if it so desires, my little guys are mine, and so i intend to give them the ending they deserve.

#destiny 2 #destiny the game #it'll be funny as hell if i come back to this in a year or so and they actually DO manage to pull some insanely good stuff out of nowhere #though i will not deny that i doubt it #rambles #does this count as negativity?#it's not really meant that way. destiny as a story has some fascinating ideas and a really neat setting and some characters i adore #there's a reason i've stuck with it as long as i have #but like #i used to watch spn #i've SEEN what happens when a story refuses to stop going even after it's primary conflict has been resolved #and how it can take a narrative that's already not that good and shove it past the point of parody #capitalism may preach upward growth and infinite money forever but stories need ends just as much as they need beginnings and middles #ack i've gone on too long already but you get the idea
