Sooooooo uh, I don't know who needs to hear this, but now that I'm finally free (for now) from my exams, I wanted to give my two cents about the whole "Destiny 2 died" thing (I apologize in advance if this post will be a little confusing, I'm still kind of elaborating what I'm feeling and how to express it).

I'm a "new light", technically speaking, I joined at the end of Lightfall, so I've been around for... I think 2 years. A friend introduced me to this game back then and I fell IN LOVE with it. The universe, the characters, heck even the gameplay was cool, and I normally hate shooter games! Needless to say I devoured a lot of lore books, even set to make a coherent wiki of them in my language (only managed to make the Witness and Rhulk's ones in the end, lol), and wrote some fanfictions and funny stories too.

Me and my friend eventually met other two people to play with, my little disaster fireteam who accompanied me for my, like, 500+ hours of game. The three of them are all veterans, so you can imagine their reaction when the announcement came. And the thing is... I felt at a crossroad. Of course I was sad, but I truly felt like I wasn't "allowed" to mourn. To be fair, clearly my own feelings were different from theirs, but, you know, they felt... wrong, in a way.

Then I thought about it – after also sharing these same feelings with my friends – and I realized that maybe I haven't been there for 10 years, I've lost god knows how much content, but I still played, I've spent HOURS and DAYS on it, read the lore, tried raid and dungeons, cried or laughed at cutscenes and dialogues. Heck, I've also made my own Guardian's lore (and my friends joined in with theirs), lore that I'm still working on and updating. So, yea, sure, I was not there day 1, but the time I spent there – that I'm still spending – means something. No matter how much some people try to say it doesn't.

So, this little post was for all of those who are in my same situation, and to them I say: we're all valid fans of the game (it's just sad that we have to reiterate that). I'm sure there have already been made similar posts, but I wanted to give my own spin on it.

Thanks to all for reading, have a little fanart of my guardian Artemis – in civilian clothes because like hell I'm drawing armor – and her ghost Hermes (please don't mind the fact that they're thinking about taking out one of the Nine, it's fine):

See you starside, Guardians.

holy shit Old Chicago leak

the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.

it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.

you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

Recently I’ve been playing through the Destiny 2 campaigns with a friend of mine. He’s enjoyed what we’ve played so far. Even if he’s not truly loved any of it yet. And I’ve been able to guide him along this journey, because Destiny 2’s quest progression is anything but straightforward.

Using my knowledge of the lore and story to fill in the gaps has been fun, but it’s also highlighted just how much I wish more of the seasonal stories stuck around.

It’s hard to explain that you’re just going to run into Crow during the Final Shape campaign or while listening to the dialogue in a Battleground. It’s harder to explain that Cayde wasn’t only in Destiny 1 and that the flashback mission was a flashback to an expansion you can no longer play. There’s not much that can be done now, but I do so wish there were a way to experience this saga from start to finish. Because it’s a lovely set of stories.

Imagine you are a newly risen Guardian wandering out into the Cosmodrome for the first time and your first visual of your fellow defenders of humanity is some dumbass in a cloak going mach fuck into a wall and nearly killing themself before lasering an entire tank to death.

Really interesting and cool article which I highly recommend reading in full, about various devs retelling their favourite experiences while working on Destiny, but I do want to highlight one in particular:

Honorable mention to the lore tabs I wrote for Sparrow racers Marcus Ren and Enoch Bast; a queer fan in the deep South emailed me about how they were moved to tears by seeing same-gender relationships in the lore. -Grant K. Roberts

Like, we all knew this. It was absolutely undeniable that Marcus and Enoch were meant to be viewed as a couple. There was literally zero doubt in my mind about it ever since I read it for the first time back in year 1.

But there's really something about being told from the author himself that this was the intended read. Especially in the world of people often denying obvious queerness just because specific labels aren't used in an over the top way where characters just say their sexualities in a way that feels unnatural and weird. I always appreciated the way Destiny did this because it forced you to take the text at face value in the same way you would have to do it for any heterosexual couple. Nobody ever expects a character to say "I am heterosexual," they just accept obvious tells in the text, but for whatever reason queer characters are never afforded the same.

Except in Destiny, which always integrated things like that so neatly into the text. And seeing people ignoring it or denying it because a character didn't show up to say "I am gay" was always frustrating, but I prefer it this way and I am so glad that writers never backed down, and instead just introduced queer characters into the story with dignity and respect that any character deserves.

And every single time anyone suspected or asked if some character is queer, the writers would just go "well yeah, that's how we wrote them, you read it correctly." And it makes the world of Destiny so much more rich with queer characters because of it. Because this is just one extra proof that whenever we suspected it, we were correct. We were always correct because queerness was always intended and written into the setting.

There's a couple of other devs that talk about this in the article, including the writer that suggested Devrim to have a husband, and a Destiny historian who pushed for Micah-10 to be in the game (with honorable mention of Robert Brookes who helped make this possible).
