Consider this: ghosts are actually exactly what the Fentons think they are.

They're snapshots of a longing so strong, unfinished business so deep it reaches out beyond life. Lingers just a bit longer. And if it happens to meet a dense cloud of ectoplasm (invisible to the naked eye, but omnipresent even in the mortal realm), it coalesces. The ectoplasm fits into the shape of it. Which, when the desire is strong enough, it's got a rough idea of its self-image. This tends to mean a more humanoid figure, though it's more often warped in some way–a self-reflection, skewed by said desire. The warping varies on the dead soul’s perception of themselves, the intensity of their desire, how much time passed after death, and how much ectoplasm was present.

In short… no matter how “normal" a ghost looks or acts, it really, truly isn't human. It's animated ectoplasm with a single goal: an obsession. Nothing else. They're more akin to plants than animals, following a single drive with no emotion. They react to stimuli, recognize threats (including other ghosts), and can even imitate human speech and mannerisms to obtain fulfillment of their obsession.

Not “evil" by any stretch, but they're entirely driven by instinct. A tree doesn't pause to consider the rocks it breaks with its roots. A cordyceps doesn't torture its host for fun, or kill with malice. It just does. It follows code in its DNA to survive and multiply–And ghosts just follow the code in its ectoplasm to fulfill its obsession. The more powerful a ghost, the better it's able to overcome obstacles preventing this–whether through brute force, or manipulation. This power is always directly proportional to the amount of ectoplasm present at the time of formation, and how much time passed since death.

What then, does this mean for Danny? Danny, who's previously come to the conclusion that he's only half-ghost, which surely explains how he retained his mind? His independent thoughts and emotions?

What does this mean for Phantom, who experienced an entire world’s worth of ectoplasm condensed as a singularity, at the exact time of his death? Whose strength only grows and begins to exceed every limit they previously thought possible?

If a ghost was as strong as him… could it mimic a human perfectly? Down to a molecular level?

Could it, in its desire to fill an obsession… trick its own fake mind into thinking it was still human? Or half-ghost?

thinking about how blade stood there staring up at the imbibitor lunae statue who knows how long after the quintet “meetup” and even asked trailblazer if dan heng was happy. that statue is of yubie. my brother in christ… methinks this whole thing wasn’t ever really about dan feng’s sin…

El being *12 hours earlier* than the Cali timeline when she arrives at Nina. Will saying ‘it’s been 9 hrs’ in the scene following his monologue in the van.

We know that at some point their timelines merged when they arrived to save her…

But we don’t know when exactly those alignments took place when they were still apart… which just makes you wonder…

what people don't get about hualian is that they're literally like. jock and alternative art student. xie lian lives like a frat boy (mattress on the floor and nothing else in his room, no standards for his own well-being, can't cook and ends up eating what could be classified as biohazards) and is really enthusiastic about fighting as a hobby. meanwhile hua cheng rocks up to the function in his cunty little outfits every day of the week, bells on his boots and the red eyeliner slayed, obviously has taste but is soooo in love with his boyfriend who only ever wears cargo shorts and the most fucked up questionable hoodies you've ever seen. hua cheng wants xie lian to have nice things but it's always like. "babe i promise it's no trouble can we please get you a bedframe??" nd xie lian is obviously so enamored with his cool alt boyfriend who wears skirts sometimes and never misses a beat on a bitchy comment that's just the way it is. basically if your hualian concept doesn't have hua cheng as the hot goth gf you just don't get it

I cannot stop thinking about how beautiful creatures starts with Ethan having a dream that leaves a physical mark, theres dirt under his fingernails from him clawing to try and get to Lena, who he has yet to meet but loosing her is already killing him even when its not yet real, and hes like "damn. I'm going crazy ): anyway"

"I think I could beat Cayde in The Crucible."

A few days later...

Him:"Aaaaaaand apparently I'm against Cayde...Not gonna lie though. I do like my odds here." 😏

Me:"Never bet against me."

The results:

Now,this score normally wouldn't be anything to write home Tumblr about,but the situation in and of itself is (to me. I think this is hilarious and wanted to share.)

Technically,his score is lower than that because two of those defeats were because of my own hubris. I got cocky and was bounding around the map and bounded off of the ledge twice,which,if you think about it,was pretty on brand.

He spent the majority of the second half of the round hiding in his little bubble repeatedly asking where I was. My answer?

"I'm with you, kiddo. Your Light,is my Light. You're my favorite... don't ever forget that." promptly followed by me absolutely smoking him and winning the game.

I strike fear into this Titan's heart and the best part is,he forgets that fear the second we step out of the Crucible.

I finally finished The Final Shape campaign. I was taking my sweet time to really savor it, and I'm glad I did.

It made me cry so much. The whole campaign was made with so much love, but especially those last cutscenes. They were just beautiful and so much love and adoration was put into them. A little bittersweet, but also so amazing and beautiful. The last mission was also very fun and kind of emotional too with a bunch of different well-loved characters joining in.

I've been playing Destiny for over 7 years, since end of March 2017. I've played through all of D1 and D2 with my same character I made all the way back then, with her design never changing from that day. Still remember that first day all those years ago.

And I was a fan of Destiny from the very beginning since I grew up with Halo starting at 11 years old. The Law of the Jungle has been my favorite poem since my early teens, and from the second I saw the Destiny trailer with that in it, and I knew I was hooked. That trailer still makes me feel so much. And the only reason I didn't play Destiny from the very start is because I didn't have my own console to play it on for a few years, but my brother played it from the beginning and I watched him a lot (but he didn't let me make my own character on my own account on his Xbox cuz he's an ass...he's the one that got me into videogames starting with Halo, at least let me try Destiny).

Can't find the right words to describe the kind of emotions I'm feeling rn, after playing the game this long. And after finishing the game with the same character I made from the start, design never changed, from all those years ago, Cerys-8. And with her ghost, Pepin, having the same shell and shader since the first D2 Dawning.

The whole campaign was emotional in the best way. And those last cutscenes....beautiful. Just beautiful. Amazing. All of them made me cry so much, even the artistic one that features all the characters just doing their thing now. And the New Vanguard and the Young Wolf, looking over the City they saved, filled with humans and eliksni and cabal allies, all in one. Protected for now, for the first time in ages. Safe. Happy.

Don't touch me right now I'm so emotional. The beginning of the Red War campaign also made me insanely emotional and is actually the reason why I thought to name Cerys and Pepin anyway, and this is making me even more emotional. I love this so, so much.
