#oryx 2

[winnower-winnower]

Wanted to finish out pride month with everyone’s favorite trans king, and his most faithful Warpriest 🥰

[lodium]

I should have finished this a long time ago after eliksni post but couldn't force myself completely to this one, wanting it to be good and if I could make it better than I already sketched. Going to sleep at 4 am as always, my writing may look weird

Yaaaa ummm What if Oryx got revived?? Just silly shinanigans! I feel like Savathūn would love to gain a powerful ally on her side

And another blooper! He's gotta take his revenge/j

[askloyaltywings]

Has this been done yet? i went looking for trans Oryx postings and couldn't find it so i MADE IT

And had a lot of fun making it... i wonder if people would like it if i made stickers...

Destiny 2: Season of the Witch

"The Hive call us liars. The unfree. Deniers of the all-edged truth. But I take the power the sword logic offers, not out of desperation, but desire. For Crota. Oryx. Savathun... I wield their killers as a knife. The Hive know this truth as well as any logic. I am here. And they are not. Aiat."

Metamorphosis

II — Savathûn — Imago Unfurl — Verse 8:2 — The Witch:

"My brother's greatest acts of navigation were his metamorphoses. That was his tactic: he would change everything about himself so that he could survive this universe."

So sad when ppl have ‘taken’ in their bio, like damn the war against Oryx continues to this day :[

Trans Character of the Day

Oryx, the Taken King from Destiny is a trans man who uses he/him pronouns!

[gaurdibuja]

The witch queen campaign was absolutely amazing, don't you think? I wanted more about savathûn, but well things didn't end up well between us :/

Hope you at least enjoy this drawing I made! Thank you so much for your support!

Consider following me on other social media if you want to give my drawings and my some love!

Sometimes I just be forgetting to post cause I don’t have any finished pieces but here’s some color variations for Oryx and the full wip which is taking forever

[lodium]

cool bug The Queen is cool too, but I'm more the King lover

Liked more without color. Was hard to find good refs and understand his every detail. At the start I want to draw canonical and perfect but usually I mess up with details and feel sad after realization of my strange vision and inattention, and it will be not alive but then I got too tired and confused, and designed him an ass and heels. He's a king after all

I think seeing this encounter would be rather interesting ,don't you all think? It is a blooper I made for my mini comics

Besties, I need help. Especially people who have a lot of reach on twitter.

Two of my friends had their Destiny names forcibly changed at the roughly the same time. Their Destiny names were "bisexual mara sov" and "trans king oryx." They just logged in and got a pop-up saying that for some "crossplay" reasons their names were changed to a default Guardian####. None of them are using crossplay. Both are on Steam only, if that's important.

One of them posted to Bungie forums and got this reply:

Both of my friends suspect that they were mass reported. Obviously falsely. Their names are not breaking any rules and are in fact canonical statements about the characters. They always play together so if some homophobe sees them, they would report both, so it would make sense why this happened to them at the same time, possibly (the other option is that there was a wave of forced name changes happening recently that caught them both, but for all intents and purposes, their names should not be subject to change).

This upset both of my friends quite a lot. It means there's enough homophobes out there falsely reporting their names. It's also upsetting to think that these reports were reviewed and then accepted. I genuinely don't think there was a manual review. If there was, I think everyone would like to know which rules this is breaking and why.

Another friend tried raising this issue on the official Destiny 2 reddit, but his thread was not approved by moderators because of "politics":

Thanks reddit! /s My friend also messaged the moderators, but to no avail.

The only thing that remains is trying to raise this issue with the community managers somehow, but clearly this isn't possible on reddit, so we want to try twitter. Unfortunately with the way twitter works, unless you have the reach, nobody will see it. One other friend literally made a twitter account for this to tag the Destiny 2 Team, but as expected her attempt has zero visibility. These are her two tweets. I'm not sure what would be better; to just boost this existing tweet or to make new tweets tagging Destiny 2 Team, but if anyone knows and thinks they could help, feel free to do either!

I don't expect much to happen, but I would like to at least try bringing some awareness to this because it's quite upsetting if homophobes can just mass report a completely innocent name, while absolutely gross names are allowed and visible every day in the game. It's also not a good look if these mass reports are acted on without review, and they are worse if they were acted on WITH review.

A lot of people have usernames that are about in-game characters; I think a lot of us would like to get some information on why these aren't allowed anymore. Both of my friends have had them for years.

Anyway, if anyone knows something they could do or has the ability to get this visible somehow, it would be appreciated!
