Stuck on thinking about post AoZ and pre 1999 drifter.
Imagine like… knowing that you can only exist for a brief time, and then you’re reduced to a shadow in someone else’s head or you’re back on the Fucking Zariman Again (in eggman voice)
Even if youre able to take the stage for a bit and feel the sun, you cant stay forever.
Besides. Everybody wants the other you. Youre not even a tenno. You’re tolerated at best. Nobody bothers with the title to replace the name you forgot, even though that title is the closest thing you have to one now. Not even the cephalon programed to love you (not you, dumbass, the other you, the wanted one) ever used it once. Despite you asking. (i checked and it made me go :(
It’s not like anyone you helped out really cared, either. The lotus tried to kill you the moment she could. Nobody bothered with dropping by your little camp until the operator came back. Why would they. Its only you there.
So choose.
Be selfish, demand that you get to feel the real sun on your real face, even though you know nobody wants you here, when they could have a better version?
Be nothing, a bystander in the back of someone elses head, watching as they are loved and used in equal measure? (just like you always wanted- but you could never work hard enough in duviri.)
Or go back to hell.
Back to the Zariman with its infinite angel song that you got to know so well that you handcrafted physical insanity from it. Back to a place youve seen for so long that you stopped seeing it. Back to the root of everything wrong with you.
But it needs you. Right? Needs you until other tenno start showing up, and then you’re not Necessary anymore. Because other people can do your job. Take a break, drifter. Relax. Go stare into the void a little more. Go remember.
Or theres always going back Duviri. The place you spent the last thousand years dreaming of getting out of. The place thats killed you in so many ways you started to forget yesterday. The place you were too useless and helpless to ever be able to escape on your own. (And the lotus didnt care about helping you. Didnt want your help either. Didnt want you. Youre not a tenno.)
Didnt Thrax always say there was nothing out there? Nothing but the Zariman. That there was nothing better than this. You only kept going because you needed it to be wrong.
Was it, though? Was it really?
The more I think about it, the more the Lotus kicking the drifter out of the main timeline and into 1999 has a sad sort of mercy to it, directly in line with it simply reaffirming that thrax was right.
Of course the drifter is a people pleaser to the nth degree. They’d rip their own heart out if it meant there was a chance at anyone seeing it.
Of course they’ll be anything and mould themself to any situation. At least it means they’ll fit *somewhere*. At least it means they’re useful enough to keep around, even if only for a little bit.
Maybe if they care enough, do enough, try hard enough, somebody will care about them too. It hasn’t happened yet outside of Teshin, but Teshin’s back in Duviri, isnt he. The only light resides in the darkest ring of hell.
My entry for the tennocon 2026 community art showcase!
I am so happy I managed to finish this one in time🫡 it is definitely one of the most detailed paintings I have made so far.
It is safe to say this game has taken over my life. I started playing somewhat recently, but I have been absolutely loving it.
I am super excited to participate in my first warframe related contest, this community has been absolutely amazing♡
I hope you guys like my take on reaching rank 5 with the entrati family.

As one of the five Chroma mains, I’d like to propose a concept design for the Chroma Heritage skin.
Rebecca please contact me
furframe round 2
a python because something something the duality of the serpent's image in Christianity and Gnosticism yadda yadda yadda and a hare because evil hares look cool
Decided to do a Harrow reliquary sketch and thought "yeah I'll try coloring it a bit just to see what happens"
So needless to say this did not stay as a simple sketch and may have taken months.
the loop closes
my tennocon showcase entry! i didn't have much time due to work and other happenstances in life, but i am so happy i managed to make something 💖
my submission for the tennocon showcase! it has all (most) of my mains and faves throughout the years :>
crops under the cut:
the other thing that's a big negative about eternalism becoming a more and more prominent part of the narrative is that the infinite parallel options steadily suck away any sense of importance from whatever event is happening, meaning that the narrative has to fall back on ever-cheaper infinitely escalating stakes in order to maintain any sense of tension.
so, look at it like this--so, sirius is from a world where jade was a harry potter fan jalker baby was named sirius, and orion is from a world where jalker baby was named orion. cool, i get that. but this means that there's an infinite potential amount of jalker baby reskins. where's the baby from the world where he was named sirion? where's the baby from the world where he was named jalker? where's the baby from the world where he transitioned?
when the writing leans on foregrounding a multiverse (and, even worse, a multiverse without a consistent set of rules) it eats away at the bone marrow of the storytelling. you start to realize that there's no story reason for these characters to be these characters--they've been selected for marketing appeal, picked because they stir up an exciting sense of rivalry and factionalism in the fandom that's well-suited for advertising itself.
'but you're being ridiculous and obsessed with imaginary purity; all stories that make it to the shelf as a product are products and therefore have marketing involved with their writing.' this is absolutely correct! usually, though, and in well-written media, the influence of meta elements on the storytelling are camouflaged. you're not supposed to notice them and be thinking about them, because when you realize "oh it doesn't matter what any character's personality is--whatever the writer wants to happen will happen because they need to sell a product" your investment into a story that you've realized is much more like a popularity contest becomes nil
i like ur complaints about time travel watering down the plot and consequences. why dont we save adis! why dont we kill ballas as an infant! etc etc
'99 had some of the necessary Narrative Shielding built in. albrecht chose to go here(/now) specifically because he was under the impression that the indifference couldnt reach him there. it was resource-intensive and took a one-in-a-billion hyper-genius to figure out how to do it, and then he destroyed the requisite technology so nobody could follow him. (asterisk except for our operator of course! who is unique in exactly the correct way to be able to do so!)
all this couching felt deliberate and solid enough that i was happy to suspend my disbelief and enjoy the story they were offering me. especially during the time between witw and '99 actually dropping, when we got teases about the y2k virus and the ARG. it felt coherent. there was the implication that the techrot itself was the reason the indifference was unable to reach '99 as easily! having one plot element be the justification for a related plot element feels clean and purposeful and like we're cleverly connecting the dots when we make guesses about future story developments.
and you can so clearly see how, immediately after '99 and the success of the hex, the developers decided to pivot to chasing player money. they dropped everything to do with on-lyne and the y2k virus, and put all their dev time into more protos instead. and then did it again with the old peace. the main story update suffered and was left full of plot holes because they wanted to ship even more protos.
and the justifications for the time travel have gotten less and less believable as time goes on. kaya figures out how to do it with 1999 technology and no guidance, somehow. roathe is doing fucking microbiology in 1800's france, and there's just a bigass time travel portal hanging open all the time now ig? it's just. it gives "why didnt albrecht just make a giant permanent time travel portal, is he stupid?" vibes because the writers can't stop shooting their own story point-blank in the face.
but i hear theyre making bank on proto skins so like, who cares, right? number go up!!
i think loid's always been a bit of a bitch and that's why albrecht likes him so much
do you ever/even miss being human?
they should let loid keep his septum piercing in for pride month. please
I decided to join in the Tennocon art showcase last Sunday because I'm insane and thought I could paint something good in less than a week. And wouldn't ya know it, I was right? Here's my eldritch wife!
the mental shift ive experienced trying to learn how to draw just so i can do warframe fanart vs the decision to revert to my usual style of edgy or toony-
This is our last mile together Immortal love's suicide A death that lasts forever The price of the self-crucified I've turned my back on the purest of heart Summoned the beast out of the dark Cruelly denied and betrayed all that ever was Between our worlds
I am a ghost of sorrow And from deep shadows I still see My beautiful dystopia Covered in black dust of you and me ... (My Dystopia)
