I feel like I've seen someone draw Mara and Sjur in this pose before, but I'm putting the idea out there in case I'm wrong.

You’re a VR speedrunner in the future, where games are so immersive they’re indistinguishable from reality. By habit you do some speedrunning tricks in real life.

[telestoapologist]

honestly my advice on enjoying d2 is this

play how you want. use whatever guns n shit. don't let anyone make you feel bad about using your favorite gun. obv there's going to be guns you'll have to use for certain activities and armor that'll boost stuff if you want some extra oomf, but other than that? just chill.

don't go on reddit, twitter, or in the youtube comment sections for any reason. it's never worth it.

the moment you feel like your brain is frying or you're tired or you're just not having a good time, quit the game and do something else.

don't do pvp

block liberally. report if necessary. hit the bricks whenever you want.

I unironically would like to read ‘on circles’ by Ikora Rey

[littleshebear]

Bungie has gifted us with another intelligent, principled, badass woman of colour and fandom acts like she personally killed their puppy.

She never accused the Guardian of murder.

She doesn’t kill civilians.

She doesn’t kill innocent Guardians. She doesn’t even kill confirmed Shadows of Yor if she can avoid it, she takes them into custody. Even after they tried to kill her and kidnapped her ghost. Shin Malphur kills them. She’s not The Last City’s answer to Judge Dredd.

She doesn’t crucify anyone. She follows leads based on intelligence and evidence.

She’s the Vanguard contact for the Vanguard allegiance quest because she recognises that the Vanguard strategy is risky and she’s trying to protect them. She serves the Vanguard.

Read the lore, people, I’m begging you. Please stop bashing Aunor Mahal for things she is not guilty of. It’s getting really old.

Part of me wonders when characters with well-defined morals, firm goals, and determination to see those goals to fruition became boring and stale to their fandoms. These are the heroes that every universe, every fandom needs. These are the people who will come through when things get tough, who will knock down doors and comb through details to uncover the truth. 

Aunor is one of those. Maybe you feel she’s stuffy or irritating, and if you don’t like her, that’s fine. But she’s clearly planted herself in a place to defend humanity, to defend the Vanguard, even. Being good isn’t glamorous all the time, it’s not trendy or edgy. It’s unapologetically doing what’s right.

If you’re upset that the “choice” sided you with Drifter or Aunor, look at it this way. The Vanguard is more than Zavala and Ikora. The Vanguard represents the Guardian faction fighting the enemies of humanity and defending the Traveler. That’s who Aunor’s working for, people. Not for herself, not for glory. She’s working for the regular ol’ folk, the people Drifter’s declared dead already as he preps to abandon everyone the second things go south.

“i asked chatgpt” oh yeah well i asked my ghost and he said that that wizard came from the moon

[seedersphd]

Oh yeah? Well I asked the Titan Vanguard leader and he said "Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold."

My life for Guardian!Chiomaya AUs

[nameless-midnight]

I like the thought of the resurrected originals meeting some of the copies, and they get to compare notes about paracausality and shit.

The desert perpetual in a nutshell :

[houseofmcallister]

Yall we don’t appreciate the Ishtar Collective nearly enough.

Easy to access and navigate archive of pretty much everything from the game. Insane.

Do you know how many fandoms would maim for a fraction of what we have. Most of them.

[a-ratt]

I had to make a 404 Page concept for my Motion Graphics class. I've been obsessed with Destiny's cutscenes, so I took inspiration from @ishtar-collective and made a concept for their archive.

[planet4546b]

also related if i think too hard about what they did to the character of maya sundaresh i will get genuinely upset. like seriously.

Also …. I’m constantly amused that Savathun pops up almost every season / expansion ….

Forsaken endgame? Savathun, by way of Riven and Dul Incaru.

Season of the Drifter? Savathun shows up for a hot minute in the lore, committing an inter-dimensional kidnapping. Season of Opulence? Savathun mind controls a large upset baby (who is also a raid boss).

Savathun popping up in the lore at the beginning of Shadowkeep, and then showing up again at the end revealing that she’d fueled more of the hive’s unrest on Luna than anyone could have guessed.

Season of Arrivals? Ding dong, who’s that at the Io cradle? [hushed voice] it’s savathun.

She doesn’t show up much in Beyond Light lore, but it sure does sound like Eris is motivated to get a hold of the Darkness to fight her.

Season of the Hunt? You thought this was gonna be all Xivu Arath, huh? Too bad this is Savathun’s game and we’re all just playing in it.

January 2024 update:

The Witch Queen: Oops all Savathun

Lightfall: Savathun literally becomes the best part when she’s revealed to be Nezarec’s murderer and the hider of the big fucking space mushroom macguffin.
