#thorn handcanon

[invaderakirasart]

Got the triad printed out. I started doing the Rose in white, but due to problems I kept running into, I ran out of filament and haven't gotten more to finish it. There are a few issues with the Lumina and I had to get in touch with the modeler to fix some of the issues. I'm printing out Lumina V2 in hopes of some of issues being resolved.

A note on people saying this is one of the worst periods for Destiny...

Let’s talk about Destiny 1 for a minute.

Destiny 1 could’ve died in its first few months. It was damn near impossible to hit the light cap. You relied on sheer RNG which wasn’t very nice (and example being I played 10+hrs a day everyday but didn’t get ghorn till one week before it was sold).

Then Dark Below came out. You got that light cap? LOL vendors now sell better gear than you just grinded for months. Vault of Glass excited you for raids? Crota’s End took 15 minutes to beat once you knew mechanics well. To this day it’s still one of if not the easiest raid to Flawless. It’s also one of the easiest to solo. Good luck with RNG again trying to get the sniper or crux.

That’s just PvE. PvP? Everything was worse from balancing to lag to cheaters (which did and still do exist on console). Shotguns were snipers, handcanons were insane especially Thorn and pulse rifles were a hidden gem that became a serious problem later in the game’s cylce.

On the topic of sunsetting, it happened in D1. “We’ll slowly phase out your guns”, except the first mission of Taken King dropped a blue sidearm miles better than my Blackhammer I spent months hunting for and by the end of the story everything I spent months grinding for were irrelevant. Unless you ran old raids your drops were now worthless and 99% of those guns were useless till Bungie brought up raids at the end of D1 and then you had to re-earn them.

On content droughts, Destiny 1 was worse for that too! Taken King was an amazing DLC, but it brought a rough drought with it. Sparrow Racing in December but then nothing till April. Then we had to wait till Rise of Iron.

Destiny 1 was and still is a fun game. And you can have your opinions on the state of Destiny 2. But you’re down right delusional if you think this is the worst period of Destiny. It’s not even close.

That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for Bungie to do, don’t get me wrong. But maybe if you want your argument to be taken seriously, not act like “this is the worst state of Destiny”.

@notpetals said: ' this is my favorite part. ' / i send this to elias, we need some chaos around here

         he’d heard the stories. of course he had. it didn’t take long to catch onto who it was. the cold that leaked off him, the thorn at his side.  he didn’t know much of what had happened recently. only that drifter and shin had kept quiet about it outside of vague answers. just that something was going on. that shin had taken a bullet and almost hadn’t made it. he hadn’t pushed them for an explanation -- just hoped that whatever was happening wouldn’t get too out of hand.

         -- but then there he is, staring it in the face. pale coloured eyes watch dredgen’s movements like a hawk, a hand hovering close to the handcanon at his side. “ what do you want? ” voice is low, dangerously clear but careful as he remains still. free hand twitches with half a mind to just summon solar light into his grip and take a swing at the other, but he waits.

Hopefully, in keeping with the "it's the inverse of Thorn" idea, it'll have a PVE focused quest

Restore the balance by STOP PUTTING ALL THE EXOTIC HANDCANONS BEHIND PVP, BUNGIE.

Desperado

A/N: The new lore is crazy and I have to write a little something for it. Hope you enjoy a different side of Angel!

The sound of tapping echoed in the Vanguard meeting room only heard by the two individuals that remained in the room.

"So, you're telling me my father was killed by a makeshift Thorn bullet?"

The Warlock nodded, she had to get the opinion of the next in line. Zavala and Ikora had excluded her from the meeting so she could prepare to pick up the mantle or at least, that was the excuse.

Angel's tapping stopped as she narrowed her eyes. "Who's the suspect? Or suspects?"

Aunor spoke with clarity. "We have recently eliminated the Hero of the War but we lack any other leads. Do you have and ideas?"

The Ace's eyes narrowed as the words left her mouth. "The Shadows of Yor. That is my best guess." She got up, holstering twin handcanons and added, "I need to speak to a Renegade. Do not tell Rey or Zavie about it, if you see me again refer to me as the Desperado and keep me updated."

Aunor watched as the Ace of Diamonds left with a silent fury in her swagger and the Warlock was glad she would carry the Legacy of the Hunter Vanguards before her. The City would be safe with someone is isn't afraid to take up arms when it is needed.

things that are terrifying ;  yor went into the crucible against someone who was known as ‘invincible’ and came out on top - without dying at any point. he’s got no ghost, there’s no revives for him. add onto that the fact he had a reign of terror in the crucible before/after that even happened. like yeah thorn is death in the form of a handcanon but crucible is more than just shooting people. it’s managing to not get shot yourself, that is the hard part.

vi.

steel met steel, in the darkened hallway of legionnaire pharmaceuticals. afton growls, before realizing he’s staring face-to-face with a porcelain mask. his heart stopped for a moment - he didn’t think he would be running into renji so soon.

“afton?!” gasps the younger cousin, stepping back and lowering his weapon. he’s about tp speak again, when vera rounds the corner, blades raised, as well. she begins to yell his name, when another figure clad in monochrome rushes her with a blade drawn.

“tenshi!” yells the reaper, removing his mask and stepping towards the two. fahy, who was following behind vera, gasps - vera is already clashing steel with the angel, and she looks back at him, brows furrowing underneath her mask. “stand down! these are friendlies - they’re my family.”

the young woman quickly gasps, stepping back and giving vera a deep bow. “i’m sorry! i saw you rishing renji, and-”

“who the hell is this?!” afton interjects, pointing the end of his blade towards yamamoto. “you have a partner? and she even has a mask? the hell kinda weird apprentice shit is this, ren? i thought you were flyin’ solo!”

“ease off, afton! this is murasaki - she was my partner years back, and she’s the reason i’m still breathing! she brought me back to you guys after i fought yukimura, you should be thanking her!”

as renji’s voice raised, murasaki began to feel a little uncomfortable. she didn’t know the specifics of renji’s leaving his cousin - he never opened up about it. so where was this leading? she is about to speak up, when vera’s harsh voice cuts in.

“boys!” she barks, causing the two to look at her. “now is not the time. i assume you are to thank for the power outage here, renji - but these guards have been a thorn in our sides. we need to work together if we’re going to dive deeper into the hive beneath the building.”

“wait a goddamn second-”

“afton!”

the elder cousin is stopped by the harsh voice cutting in their comms. renji and murasaki both hold a finger to their earpieces, before she gives her partner a confused look.

“naoko. good to hear from you, again.” renji says with a smile, glancing down at his small tablet. 

“likewise, nii-san. glad to see you in one piece. but, vera is right. you’re all going to have to work together to make it to the lower levels. expect heavy resistance. chances are, genetically engineered soldiers will be waiting for you.”

renji nods, listening to naoko explain the severity of the situation. murasaki clearly becomes confused at the prospect. sensing this renji looks back at her, pocketing the tablet. “… look, saki. you don’t have to continue. at this point, this is personal. you don’t have to -”

“i’m coming.” she gives him a determined nod, removing her mask. “renji, you’ve helped me through hell and back. i’m gonna be here to do the same for you and your family.”

renji smiles, returning the nod, and he looks back towards the small ragtag group. afton rests his handcanon over his shoulder, smirking slightly at the prospect. “alright,” begins the younger cousin, placing his mask over his face, with tenshi mirroring the action. “fahy, you’ll hang back with each floor, covering us with sniper support.”

she nods, chambering a new round in her rifle. “roger.”

“afton, you and tenshi will lead the assault on each floor. with her ability and your tenacity, you’ll make a good forward assault. vera and i will hang back, work around any survivors, anyone that tries to get past either of you.”

“you got it, cousin. ain’t no one gettin’ past us - better get used to bein’ bored.” snarks the elder cousin, eliciting a bemused smirk from the reaper.

“right, then. let’s get to work.”

~

“sir. they’re coming.”

the rumbling was getting more intense. the sounds of gunshots, more frequent and in more rapid succession. the intruders were making progress much faster than kazama could have ever imagined.

“i’m aware, eric. i’m aware.”

kazama sighs, adjusting his spectacles higher atop his nose. he looks towards the stasis chamber on his right, observing the statistics, the charts, the information. primula aoki. her numbers were improving. she was near perfection. 

“it’s time for her final test.”

“… sir?!” the assistant can’t help but gasp, approaching kazama, charts in hand. “she’s - we haven’t had any other trials, no more tests! sir, we have no idea how advanced her powers have developed!”

“did i stutter?! i said get her the hell out of this chamber and send her to our uninvited visitors! now! or i’ll make sure you are personally there for her to test out her abilities.”

the assistant gulped, but nodded. he presses a series of keys on the console near her pod, hearing the hissing and the whirring of the machine as it lowers the girl. with one final hiss, the stasis chamber opens. then, her eyes open, the pale lilac colors staring dead ahead.

“it’s time, primula,” alexander kazama says evenly, hands laced together behind his back. “go to the intruders, and kill them.”

It's got a working trigger 😁

I need to talk about the books I read

I have a goodreads and 3 of my friends are on there but they don’t write review or comment on the books. I love reading books but Idk its like... right after I NEED to talk about it and no one is there to talk about it. Kinda want to make a youtube just to rant about the shit I read even if its to no one. 

ANYWAY!!! So I recently finished : Send me a message if you want to rant about those books, don’t be shy ! If ya have a goodread we can add eachother I NEED BOOK POEPLE. 

Empire of Storms --> (Kinda not in love with this series anymore. All I want is a focus on Dorion at this point ahah.). I just... it’s not what I got myself into you know ? It’s not that the book is bad but I have soooo many books to read and I like to know what I’m getting into and book 1 and 2 have NOTHING to do with the series now. Like... what was the point of all this. It was a really long intro. I’m hoping the serie end soon. I think she is making a book 7. I hate that too. She is doin the same thing with a court of thornes and roses and like... NO its a trilogie you can’t turn it into a 6books series when its suposed to end this year. I’m a boring person who likes to know shit before starting them ;p More happy than not. --> I guess this kind of describe my feels about this book ahaha. I need 2 more chapters of like “ two years later” and all is rainbow and sunshine. In a way I love that happy ending is not in everybook I think it makes it more real but I still hate it. It makes me FEEL too much. I can’t stop having handcanons about different ending and its not healthy lol History is all you left me --> Loved it. See this is the kind of sad that I can deal with. I cried the WHOLE book. But like there is hope for a better futur. I need this xD  I’m really scares for Adam’s new book : They both die in the end ahahha.

Every day --> So I finished this like... 2 hours ago. And I DONT KNOW how I feel about it to be honest. I read this cause there was a fanfiction of Klaine made around the same concept... the fanfiction was better. And like I said before,.. I can’t deal with endings like that. is that even an ending. And like.. I could accept this ending actually if there wern’t so many questions left to answer. I want to know how many poeple are like “A”. Where the fuck do the person go when A takes over. Also the ending bugged me cause it seems like A picked a really random guy and was like.. there you go Rhiannon (gosh that name) he is a nice guy you will like him. NO NOOOO. At least be on the mission to find a great guy for her and after a few weeks/months you find him and you know she will like him but the ending was basicly HEY this guy is a “nice” guy so you will like him. There honey be in love with this random dude who you know nothing about cause he is a nice guy. O.O what the actual fuck. 

When it’s real --> Almost forgot about this one !! Man this one was a lot of fun. Needed it (read it after history is all you left me and right before more happy than not ahha). I love stupid love story, the love/hate thing is one of my favorite trope what can I say. Loved loved loved it. It was also hilarious how a lot of thing seems to reference to Justin Biever. I read the other books by Erin Watt paper princess and I really loved those books too but idk, they were not “good” books they were just addictive, guilty pleasure kinda books. But this one was written better. I don,t know how to explain ahha.   There ya go ! The books I finished the last 2 weeks. (No I don’t read this much usually. But my weekend has been really productive haha)

Vanguard Thorn Decision

Forged from legends, records, and personal accounts from Exo-kind, the Vanguard has ordered the immediate destruction of any traces of the Thorn used by Dredgen Yor to further prevent Guardian violence outside of the Crucible. Lord Shaxx, however, still affirms that the Thorn should not be destroyed altogether, as Guardians have made creative tactics to counter the remnants. The debate is still ongoing, showing no signs of reaching a solution any time soon.

[invaderakirasart]

Got the Rose print down and got the colors needed for the final iteration. Thorn is being reprinted in the correct scale. The cylinder is for the new Thorn. I should have the new Thorn done sometime soon, then I'll print the Rose in the proper colors. Lumina is gonna be interesting to print

[invaderakirasart]

Thorn from Destiny 2. I'm still in the midst of trying to find a darker gold/bronze for the cylinder and shell. The trigger and hammer also work

I think I may also do the Rose to go with it since they're technically the same gun 🤷‍♂️

[invaderakirasart]

Finally got Rose printed out in the off white. It's very front heavy, but the entire thing's not light. I had to put a support on it so I could get one of the pics. Damn Lumina design is being a pain in my ass ATM, but it's getting to the final design. One more left to go and I can finally start working on my SU x Destiny crossover idea
