2 3 5 6 and 6b what is a ghost (not really I will Google it)

Thank you for humouring me :3 💖😘 I'm gonna answer this easy one first haha

(Destiny OC Questions)

2. What race is your Guardian?

Maeve is Awoken -- Earthborn Awoken in her previous life. She's a little blue plasma lamp girlie. (The picture below doesn't show it well because of the lighting, but Awoken have Light swirling under their skin. I like to imagine that it can be reactive like those little plasma lamps, just as a bit of self-indulgence.)

3. What do they look like?

A baby! She has cropped black hair and bright blue eyes. Her skin is a pale blue grey, and she has little black markings on her forehead and at the edges of her eyes. She has a slender but athletic build with well-defined arms from using melee weapons and bows. I haven't played through Lightfall with her yet, so I'm excited to get to all of the fun helmet-off scenes it has. My screenshot key is gonna be working overtime.

5. Defining features?

Mae is a return to my norm of having tall OCs -- she's about 6'3". Is height a feature normally called out like this? Because I can't really call out her glowing skin and eyes haha

6. What's their Ghost's name?

Lyra! I don't remember exactly where I'd seen it or what inspired it, but once I decided on it, my friend reminded me that he often names his RPG characters Lyralene. So the sentimental part of me is keeping it for that reason. I don't have any lore associated with Lyra's name at the moment, but it's simmering on the back burner for now.

I'll put this little blurb from Destinypedia here for any other followers who see this and are unfamiliar with the games: Ghosts are small, sapient machines created by the Traveler shortly after the Collapse. Their sole purpose is to locate and resurrect deceased individuals capable of wielding the Light as Guardians, and to support their Guardian charge in combat.

Death and reviving aren't just gameplay things - in the actual universe, Ghosts revive their guardians when they die, with few limitations. As long as your Ghost is alive, you're immortal for all intents and purposes.

#mwah mwah mwah thank u #ask game answers #maezi #oh oops I thought I posted this like 30 mins ago and turns out it was in drafts #it's my first day on tumblr hi

as much as I love the common "Tim worships/stalks Jason" trope in TimJay fanfiction because it's Good and making Tim a weird little freak is Fun, I think the underutilized dynamic is where Jason is the one weirdly obsessed with Tim and makes it Tim's problem.

Like, the moment Jason is confronted with the information that a third Robin exists, the first thing he does is cover his wall with pictures of Tim so he can just obsess and torture himself over it. That is the behavior of a man who is Unwell over Tim's existence and I love it.

red hood: lost days #4

And as much as a shitshow as The Titans Tower Incident™ is characterization-wise (though I think it has far more merit in depicting Jason's character than people give it credit for but I digress-) there's something very fun about the fact that even after kicking his ass, Jason respects Tim and is impressed by him.

teen titans (2003) #29

And on top of that, Jason can't seem to stop trying to ask Jason to Tim to work with him in some capacity.

robin (1993) #177

batman: battle for the cowl #2

While Battle for the Cowl is an exceptionally bad comic, especially for its characterization of Jason and the "be my Robin" bit is taken deeply out of context, I do think it's interesting how obsessed Jason is with believing that Tim is extremely competent, only held back by being "brainwashed by Bruce". (hence him leaving Tim for dead later on in the comic.) Jason seeing a darker side of Tim and wanting to bring that out of Tim, wanting to see what Tim could be if he let go of his loyalty to Bruce is so fun to me, tbh.

And in Robin #177, Jason seems genuinely upset Tim doesn't want to work with him. Jason sees such a raw potential in Tim and is obsessed with it, constantly wanting Tim to work for him and see Tim be the type of person Jason is. And despite Tim rejecting him, Jason doesn't shoot to kill Tim. I just cannot get over the fanfic potential of Jason obsessing over Tim, tracking him and seeing what he's capable of and what he could be capable of. Wanting to make Tim see things the way he does. To Tim it's corruption, to Jason it's freedom. Tim trying to 'save' Jason is fun and all, but Jason trying to corrupt Tim? That's even more fun to me. Watching that power struggle between them, Tim unable to get Jason off his heels as Jason gets more and more possessive and bold with each attempt.

And when Jason sees Tim successfully get Gotham back under control after a gang war, he's impressed. He praises Tim, even. And then Tim just. Breaks him out of prison.

robin (1993) #182

The way they're constantly trying to see something in the other that isn't there, hoping the other will come around? That is the most fucked up hate/love dynamic ever. Jason keeps coming back to Tim, keeps trying to find ways to get Tim onto his side. They're always chasing each other. And I think Jason would be the one to confess love first, the one to do anything to make Tim his. And when you consider after all of this, Tim has his Red Robin arc and is at his lowest, getting the closest he ever gets to considering murder? I think it'd be so fun to see Jason take advantage of that and worm his way back into Tim's life and finally push Tim over the edge.

#jaytim #timjay #tim drake x jason todd #jason todd x tim drake #batcest #necrotic festerings #for the record i could've continued showing examples if i delved into the new-52 #but this is meant to be entirely a pre-flashpoint meta analysis of their dynamic #but in the new-52 jason explicitly says tim is the only member of the batfam he likes and they work together regularly #but new-52 also ate ass with tim's characterization so i cannot use it in good faith on this post.#my first tumblr meta on this blog and i'm feeling stressed about putting my thoughts in the open won't lie #one day i'll come back to the titans tower incident and expand on my thoughts on why it's not as bad as ppl make it out to be #dare i say. it's mostly in character for jason minus the ridiculous robin suit and some of his grandstanding #but that debate is for another day #fyi anyone can take this stuff as a prompt/inspo and run with it for fic pls go wild #someday i'll probably write my own take on it too
