Ask An Iron Lord Anything

Lord Felwinter Lives AU | Ask the old man anything but keep it PG! Currently living at Felwinter Peak. It’s his mountain, after all. // Feel free to ask the writer as well. I have a lot of headcanons for Felwinter and this particular AU that I’m more than happy to talk about! OOC chatter is behind double slashes ( // )!

Okay.. so quick matter of opinion.

We totally should've let the Echo of navigation live. It legit had no intentions of harm and hot take... INSTEAD OF TAKING MALOKS HEAD, WE SHOULDVE CONSIDERED THAT WHEN WE HAD THE HIVE PANTHEON IN THE SAME ROOM, BARTER A COMPROMISE AND DO FAMILY THERAPY. IM JUST SAYING ITS POSSIBLE WITH THEIR EMOTIONAL STATES. WE LEGIT FUCKED UP.

-Val-19, hive enthusiast

Ah… let me read the Guardian’s reports…

First thing, I have the feeling that the Hive’s gods would be particularly resistant to… therapy. The Witch Queen’s behavior when she was in Vanguard custody only attests to that. It is difficult to change your ways after having followed one path for lifetimes—I know that better than anyone.

As for the Echo, I believe I am unqualified to speak on its—his?—behalf. From my limited understanding of this particular situation, the Echo of Navigation did not entirely believe itself to be the Taken King? The Hive’s faith speaks against resurrecting the dead. It was never truly Oryx, nor did he want to return, in light of that. In the eyes of their doctrine, he was defeated, and his power should pass on. That should be the end of it.

I cannot give much more input than that, I’m afraid. My apologies.

[asklordfelwinter]

Alright, I have a serious question.

I'm a hunter; I know our Light works differently from a warlock's...

But lemme ask ya something, just hear me out.

What if you took the energy from a Taken entity... say, a Psion... and infused that into a set of armor?

Taken armor with mitosis ability?

I have not had much opportunity to study the Taken personally, so far. That being said, I took it upon myself to borrow research notes from Ikora and Eris Morn in an attempt to answer to your question. In short: I cannot recommend it. There is too little data on the effects of Taken forces on a Lightbearer's body, in which the Lightbearer survives. May I suggest speaking to Lieutenant Sloane about your idea? Her unique condition may grant her insight that I am unable to grasp. @shatterdive-vertigo

Are u still alive frendo?

// I'm going to answer this one out-of-character, actually. // I've sort of fallen out of love with Destiny as a game, so I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to this blog lately. I still deeply adore the lore that's been built up around it over the years, but a lot of the business decisions that Bungie has made over the last while really soured the actual product for me and so I've finally quit playing it. I've been debating what to do with the blog, and I think I'll probably keep it up, but I'm not going to be able to stay up to date on what goes on in the story from here forward. I may still answer a few stray questions here and there though, if I catch them!

A gift for @makoredeyes based on their own artwork. They made the artwork for me to stream on my birthday last year and it's taken ever since to finish this. It was spawned from discussions of theoretical exo anatomy and LEDs represented as beads.

a little Felwinter sketch

I'm not really happy with the shading here, but anyway

[autumnaintautumning-deactivated]

Erm... My kinda version of Felwinter?? ... And my Guardian being just a cameo- intensely staring at each other.

[asklordfelwinter]

// Apologies for repeated extended absences! I play a lot of games so every once in a while one of them consumes my entire brain and I have no room for the others. No Man’s Sky has been that lately. When Revenant gets into full swing Destiny will probably kick its way back to the front!

[asklordfelwinter]

How does one summon a Nova Bomb?

Young Wolf, I know this is you.

I take it back, he swears that he never asked me this.

The Void comes more easily to some of us than to others. Even so, you cannot force it. It takes a patient and precise hand to reach into the space between and bring the absence within to bear against your foes. There is no other feeling like taking hold of your first Nova.

[asklordfelwinter]

I feel like you give really good hugs

When was the last time that I did share a hug with someone…?

Don’t think about it too hard, you’ll blow a bulb.

Yes, yes. Erm… please do not try to hug me. That is something that I typically reserve for… particular people.

[electric-blue24]

got a look for Felwinter that I actually kinda like, despite me putting the green though several different colour filters lol, in this house we only use primary colours

[asklordfelwinter]

Why do you run from the warmind, as an intelligent lightbearer exo myself. The interactions it seemingly makes with you completely differ from any other exo interacting with it. I may be a titan, but this girl needs her research.

Most formally,

Valentine-16

If the Warmind wanted any sort of friendly relations with me it would not have tried so desperately hard to kill me. Have you ever been victim to a falling warsat? It is far from a pleasant experience.

In any case, that is not something that I have had to worry about… for several years now. And I would thank the powers that be to leave it that way.
