#i never used outlines for essays in school and that should tell you a summative amount about me i.e. I have super bad adult adhd.

The run-up to The Witch Queen story was 'survive the truth' and the truth being sought was 'how does moth lady evilqueen become light-blessed gunshooter' and the answer given was a giant hard-to-swallow pill. They really said 'survive the dissonance of your most scandalous villain becoming worthy in the eyes of your god of the same blessings as you'.

In this essay I will:

Talk about what the truth really is we are meant to survive, and how that truth is reflected in the game's greater narrative landscape

Talk about the player expectations going into TWQ story, the bait-and-switch part of the campaign's story

Talk about my own experiences with ideological conflict and dissonance within a religious community, and make some biblical comparisons that I hope don't turn into a dumpster fire (I draw a nice parallel between moses and variks)

Talk about shin malphur a lot but also not enough

Talk way too much about the horse-with-six-hindquarters aka the best visual metaphor in the game that isn't spherical.

And probably some other broad points I cant remember right now.

Look I'm not a good or practiced writer but I havent made anything in over a decade and the destiny story has been fermenting at a very critical rate and I need to tell you about this worm inside me.

If you are a destiny mutual of mine, please ping me to encourage me to work on this, if you'd be so kind
