The Witness is reeeeally lucky there was no wind inside the Traveller

[ask-taniks-the-final-shape]

Oh my traveler. I found it

Art by the fantastic stjepan sejic/ nebezial/ shiniez ( @stjepansejic  on Twitter) who did this art for Byf’s video Thorn and the Last Word. If you haven’t watched the video, it’s basically an audiobook of those lore pages with some really haunting voice acting. Also … glorious art of Dredgen Yor.

In his strong hand, the man held a rose …

I think an severely underrated perspective of the Traveler comes from Peach the ghost and I think she’s the best for being something along the lines of an atheist /lighthearted

Like you’re so right girl, we don’t know much about the Traveler and probably never will, so we probably shouldn’t make our speculations into divine scripture.

I enjoy how her criticism points towards the Traveler not being much of a god people would want, much less an all powerful god who is so wise and knows so much about what it’s like to be a sentient human/ghost/eliksni/uluran/etc., it can predict the future and create a perfect predetermined fate for everyone.

She’s also right that if you cling onto the idea that the Traveler is an omniscient being that can craft purpose, without ever considering other perspectives on it, you’d have to come to terms with the fact that it would be an intentionally massive jerk for its behavior (and you’ll probably want to cut away at the imperfections of your people and combine their will into a single being who will hunt it down)

And above all, she’s right that we really shouldn’t hold what we think the Traveler would want for us above what we want for ourselves and we shouldn’t hold narratives we crafted of it to fit our feelings towards it as a singular, indisputable truth. We live for ourselves first and foremost, not for the Traveler’s approval. It’s probably just as lost as we are.

Also in regards to some recent lore about her watching Osiris with strand:

I love, love, LOVE when Destiny drops what seems to be a throwaway line in lore that came out years ago, only to revisit it later and turn it into something meaningful for the future. I start jumping up and down when I’m able to spot connections to old lore, I love it!

Guys make sure you think about how awesome Peach is at least once a day and remember, be a gardener when it comes to other perspectives on the nature of existentialism/spirituality/religion/divinity! It is our ability to share how we perceive reality that helps us appreciate cultural similarities and differences, even if you don’t agree with them, which makes us stronger and helps us break down harmful, dogmatic thinking.

New D2 OC (for OC community)

His name's Zytriks and he's a DJ

[alfheimr]

you feel real to me.

[vanade]

one of these onslaught bounties is not like the others...

[ask-taniks-the-final-shape]

Why is this the first time I’ve seen this blog?

Yo sick wings. You look rad

“…. My wings are not ill. What is a-“

He pauses and a nervous acolyte taps at the small book Savathûn had gifted him, tapping frantically at one page they had opened up.

“Ah… My thanks, Guardian. I, too, believe they look… Swag?”

The acolyte gives a thumbs up, though they look like they’re about to faint. A newer little guy, it seemed.

[tarakanpaintedpurple]

What a start, huh?

Also she :]

I’ve always wanted to do a saint 14 cosplay but futuristic just isn’t my style, then I saw @monstyra ‘s knight saint au and now I have some ideas for next pax >:)

[the-light-finds-its-way]

So!! Most of the names use the same vowel sounds. I haven't found many that don't, but I'm also just waking up and don't have a clear head yet.

For example, Xivu Arath. Savathun. Oryx. Dul Incarnu. Each one uses very specific vowel sounds which sound akin to the English words as follows:

A = flag

E = ethic

I = each

O = tow

U = you

So for example you might have: Mer Algath. The name would be said like "Mair Ahlgahth".

Now the rules are the same it seems for combining vowels followed by "r".

"Or" is said like the world "or". And "ar" is like the pirate "arrrr". "Ir" is said like "ear". "Ur" is said like it would be in "urn".

I do hope that helps somehow!

Any tips for naming a Hive OC?

I’m in the planning phase for a Destiny fic right now and it will eventually feature a Hive Guardian, specifically a Brood Queen, and wanted tips for naming one. I’m a big fan of the Hive and their lore just don’t know much about their naming conventions.

I think the funniest thing about Destiny’s T rating is sometimes characters will hear about the universe being left in ruins by the actions of villains and go “Ughh!! What a bully!! They are such a stupid mean jerk!!”

[lordshaxxhandler]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[squibposting]

Destiny is becoming realer by the second

[the-light-finds-its-way]

Hey I like him a normal amount. I swear.

[sparkofthemachine]

my contributions to the canvas in @/d2artevents latest drawtogether this past weekend ! ran out of steam on ikora

[salted-fox-musings]

Slams back another mug of coffee. Ghosts that constantly check on their newly risen partners constantly because:

1: Holy shit they actually found their guardian and they cannot contain themselves. 2: Holy shit there is a lot more that goes into keeping one of these fuckers alive than you'd think.
