[thorough-witness-enjoyer]

In the face of recent news about our beloved Destiny, I think it’s more important than ever for us as a community to come together and support each other in numerous ways.

It’s been a very hard week for all of us, especially those who lost their jobs and outlet for their passion in mass lay offs. Losing a position that allowed you to craft magnificent stories alongside some of the most ambitious people in the gaming industry, especially in worrying economic circumstances, must be excruciating to deal with and I wish the best for all those laid off from Bungie.

For us fans, it hurts more than anything to see the game you care so much for get put in headlines for how little that care is shared amongst the people responsible for making decisions on it. I’ve been into Destiny since it first dropped, making it the love of my life for nearly two-thirds of my whole existence , and to hear about how it’s just another product to be sold when it’s everything and more to me is just despairing. I wanted to become a writer and concept artist to create a game for others that made them feel as cared for as I did when I played Destiny and now I’m sitting here seeing all the people who helped foster that feeling be treated as another expenditure.

It’s awful, a lot of us are feeling really uninspired and betrayed at the moment, not sure we even want to see what will happen to this masterpiece of a game in the hands of the current executives. We are also dearly missing the developers, artists, writers, and more who made Destiny more than a fps looter shooter.

But it is times like these where we are torn and confused that we must uplift one another and not let the bitter taste of Bungie’s actions make us speak with hostility. This is not about decisions on whether to support Bungie or the actual game, but about refocusing on what truly makes Destiny enjoyable to so many.

Its world is immersive with care put into every story and that clearly shows in just how eager fans are to create masterpieces for it. It was never playing the game or the notoriety that kept me coming back for more, but the joy of creation I could share with others.

It stings to see a disinterest in nursing the potential of the Destiny universe from the executives with motivations other than monetary gain, but when the executives won’t care, we can. There are still employees at Bungie who adore their work and we can continue to support them by speaking up against horrible industry practices and show that we won’t abandon their efforts to make Destiny what it is.

Make ocs, write fanfictions, follow the former employees wherever they go, draw til your heart is overflowing, join Discords, roleplay, share headcanons, create aus with friends, do whatever keeps Destiny alive and flourishing for you!

Destiny will never die to me, even when it’s long forgotten and the servers shut down, because Destiny made me who I am and I intend to repay that gift an infinite amount of times over. The characters and universe will be alive and well to me until I die, regardless of the fate of the game and Bungie.

So go out and prove that Destiny’s themes of the power of community and hope are more than just morals behind a screen, that they are life changing messages that we will carry on despite hopeless news!!

Reblog charming artists, message people about ships you enjoy, leave questions and tags that contribute to conservations, write essays about what Destiny means to you!!

My messages and inbox for questions are always open if anyone would like to talk (I’m trying to get better at answering them, even if they are months late)! You are all welcome here and I want to start reblogging and liking more freely even if those things scare me sometimes!

We can decide our fates and we can decide the fate of Destiny’s presence in our lives as well! We can choose to care when others won’t and refuse to make our enjoyment debatable!! In troubling times, we should be able to reach out into the dark and find hands to hold onto tight!!

one thing abt stsg they will ignore your attempts at seducing them because they're more turned on when you're pissy and frustrated than anything else

The irony of Simon and Wille finding eachother in Bjärstad, at Hillerska, in a place where neither of them wanted to be, is actually so beautiful. They’re both there out of duty to their families, but meeting each other sets them free.

Follow up question!! Do u have an all time fav quote from wsms!

that’s a very hard question omg… and from WSMS too ?? oh god. i don’t think i can do JUST quotes, much less ONE all time favorite. but what i can do is list off my favorite chapters…? or well, my favorite block of quotes from those chapters.

the entirety of chapter nine and everything i quoted from there. i absolutely ADORED that chapter. i loved seeing dallas protecting ponyboy and pony letting himself be vulnerable around dally. it was perfect.

chapter eleven was so bittersweet and the first WSMS chapter to actually get me to tear up and cry. reading from pony’s perspective is always my favorite. legends_never_die gave him such a complex character and with all these conflicting (not to mention angsty) thoughts… it’s everything to me.

i couldn’t stop smiling to myself while reading through chapter sixteen omg. seeing dallas’s character changing and evolving is so fun. the way he was putting in the effort to make pony comfortable despite their circumstances (ahem… living at buck merrill’s..) was so sweet, not to mention going horse riding together. giggling and kicking my feet.

of course chapter seventeen was an iconic moment. that was when i hit the comment character limit for the first time so i’m obviously very proud of it. plus the closet part and the (technically implied but who cares it’s practically canon) “i love you” said by dallas was written so well. then we got purly which was really nice. i’m loving the purly in this fic

i will always love chapter twenty-two for including a DETAILED nyc flashback. like omg yay !!! the way dally said he wouldn’t leave pony (then did) was heartbreaking in the best way possible. then the other half of the chapter was pb&j content which was nice. i love those little moments where pony softens up around johnny and has his back, even if he still feels conflicted about him. plus indirect purly kiss was cute.

i just loved pulling quotes from these chapters and especially since there was SO MUCH CONTENT i loved !!! again, thanks for the ask 🫶

Demon copperhead

If someone were to ask me what my favorite book is right now, I would say Demon Copperhead. I've only read the book a few months ago but I love it to death. It took reading this book for it to finally hit me that my favorite genre is depressed mc facing an indifferent world, where their greatest enemy is themselves. I seriously adore this book and what it is has to say.

Anyway, here were a couple of quotes that stuck with me.

"take that sweet thing and run with it. Hide. Love it so hard. Because it's going to fucking leave you and not come back." (Chapter 13 Page 97)

It just makes me think of when I really love something, I should shamelessly do whatever it is that is making me happy. Because there is no guarantee it's going to be there forever. One day it'll be a memory and I'll wish I had done whatever it was more. Whether it's spend more time with people I cared about or just doing something that I love.

To just, when you are really honestly sincerely happy to cherish whatever made you feel that way with all your heart. And do all you can to keep that feeling going on until for whatever reason you can't. Because when it's gone you'll miss it and it's sometimes hard to know when you're living in one of those sort of golden periods of happiness. You never get a refund on your time wasted, so even if what you like is weird just do it. I doubt you'd ever regret choosing to do something that makes you happy.

"a good story doesn't just copy life, it pushes back on it. It's why guys like Chartrain wear their clothes too big and their teeth edged with gold, why Mr. Dick put words on kites and sends them to the sun. It's why I draw what I draw."(Chapter 62 Page 520)

I love this one so much because I wholeheartedly agree with it.

It's just so beautiful to see people not just give up on a hard life when everything is stacked against them but to keep going. And find something worthwhile at the end of the road. That's what I love. When there are stories that honestly show how hard life is, but the mc is even harder. Those are the stories I fall hopelessly in love for. Real life is scary and there's no way to know how anything will turn out, but when I read a book or a movie where characters are as anxious, confused, or scared as I've ever been, and moves forward. I find it so inspiring.

Those stories are the ones that resonate with me the most because they give me hope that life, no matter what happens, might be worth it some point down the line. In my various sad arcs of life I would think of stories that push back and remind myself that things can always get better. You never know, even if it's hard or nearly impossible to think of right now. The characters had it hard too, but they somehow someway found happiness.

What I get out of the bit after he talks about stories, is him saying that despite life throwing every challenge your way, people still choose to be themselves. I know it doesn't sound like much but it can feel hard to really be yourself. To do the things you want to. So to just decide, even though life can be so awful I'm going to go on living my way and move forward and people will deal with it. Not caring whether you'll be putting people off or not. Whether you do or don't, you're living your authentic life and you can be happy with that. And when people do live their way, it inspires others and you find your friends. I know people and stories have inspired me, and I bet you too.

Alfred is the type of guy that had a gay romance in secret while he was on the military that tragically died while in service and the batfam doesn’t know about it until one day he just hints towards it.

Like they start to piece everything together until one day they demand answers (By demand I mean they all sit around him like kids being told a story by the campfire) and he just drops the most gut-wrenching, gruesomely emotional story about his past lovers.

But then he pulls the “We were young and naive, we didn’t belong to eachother.” card.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure Alfred is open on accepting everyone for who they are on sexuality or gender, but theres that itty bitty small piece of him that will always stick to that old mentality on himself.

He thinks everyone hadn’t noticed (Because he hasn’t himself), although Bruce has sometimes seen Alfred linger a few seconds longer around the older gentlemen by offering them drinks and such; Which is weird because he doesn’t do that, he normally just waits for them to grab or ask for the drink he has on his tray while passing by.

When asked about his romantic life, he’ll mostly just blame the lack of interest due to his age or tell anyone that taking care of Bruce came first- which it really did, he never really had time (or interest) to lay his eyes on someone while he took care of the small kid, and now less since Bruce seemingly adopts every single orphan kid on sight, which means that he has to take care of them too.

Like, he knows how much better the people in the community are treated compared to then, but that young Pennyworth is probably never coming out soon, and he’s most likely okay with that.

sometimes I forget how short a lot of the books are like no way sea of monsters is only 60k words

The city in hidden agenda looks so miserable. It’s always raining and everything is grey. I am of the opinion that Becky, Felicity and Tom should all leave it all behind and go on a joyous little vacation. Off y’all go to like… North Kill or wherever idk. Don’t get eaten by meat dogs 😘

Hi friends! I am off my meds for everything and ye anyways

i live laugh love the though of being casual fuck buddies with Alex and then all of a sudden ghosting him because he and farah were a little bit to close at a certain time and ultimitely you decided that maybe what you had couldnt be more than you pounding his brains out then cuddling and then leaving 5 minutes before the base was meant to wake for drills and breakfast. This however leaves Alex feeling unwanted and he turns to bestie farah whos just looking at him like 'dumbass. Go get yo mans' but Alex the clueless man he is regardly feeling and everything else than doesnt involve the military is just there like 'y he no wanna fuck?' And just goes around like a sad lost puppy eyes trailing everywhere looking for you. And you? Your to busy complaining to Gaz. On how close him a farah seem to be and how stupid you felt for having these weird feelings because your mamma never said that it was ok and you were an avid church goer until she died. And gaz being the slow one just there like 'Soap and Ghost are lowkey fucking in the room beside me, help' which makes stop questioning your own horrible love life and start questioning gazs because hes never brought up anyone and like the two besties you are ye yap and waffle all night which has Price yelling at gaz, you nearly falling flat on your face during drills and farah wondering how the fuck you got into the military.

Did you or alex talk or anything regarding it. Nope ye two just kept sulking over the other making everyone else suffer because of how miserable you were being.

This is me running away from my problems (the fic im writing) and towards happiness (the new bear i bought for myself arriving :) )
