as someone who is lowkey obsessed with how the odyssey is structured i find this diagram by james redfield very satisfying:
"[A pattern] based on strict alternation. Odysseus faces two kinds of dangers; he may be killed before he gets home, or he may be induced to stop on the way. He faces violence and temptation." (from Redfield's 'The Economic Man')
these are Bakker's diagram's from the meaning of meat and the structure of the odyssey, which do include calypso in the symmetry! the cicones are missing though, and scylla and charybdis have been separated (rightfully so if you ask me).
really specific trope i like that i feel like can only be explained in a diagram
āit isnt something you have to read criticallyā well š
this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. āācozyāā āturn your brain offā fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time š
Do you have a compilation of lore mentioning the player character by any chance?? Mere mentions, active participation, etc etc....theyre such a goober and i need every bit of information i can find on them. young wolf my beloved (i am clinically insane. who fixates on a blank slate protag like this.)
Well, the Young Wolf is not really a completely blank slate character. There are things where we can pick and choose (like being human, Awoken or Exo for example), but the character has a defined story and personality to an extent.
Unfortunately, we don't appear too much in lore overall. Primarily because we are everywhere in the campaigns and seasonal stories and our story and actions are seen in-game rather than having to be written about. I genuinely don't think there's any significant number or lore tabs that involve us directly.
We're definitely mentioned and talked about a lot, but that would be a difficult compilation to make because of the amount of appearances, especially if we include any interactions and texts from various quest lines and seasonal stories. Some campaigns are also more focused on us and our experiences, especially in my opinion Shadowkeep (which deals with Nightmares that largely include the Nightmares highly significant to the Young Wolf, as well as our bond with Eris which helps her), Beyond Light (which is very much about us pushing ourselves forward into unknown and dangerous territory of using the Darkness) and Lightfall (which goes even further into that direction and deals with our problems in mastering strand - both of the Darkness powers are highly tied with emotions and mental state we're in, and they both rely on us overcoming different obstacles to finally be able to use them efficiently). The Final Shape as well, of course.
Specific lore tab wise, one of my favourites is obviously Thin Line which is about our Ghost's perspective on us. Other favourites are basically any that involve Saint-14 who's had a high opinion of us for a long time, before anyone ever believed him that we saved him, most notably Perfect Paradox, Saint-14's Gray Pigeon and Helm of Saint-14. If you want a bizarre way we're talked about a lot, The Chronicon lore book and Opulent armour sets from Season of Opulence deal with how Calus viewed us and what he imagined we would do for him in his fanfiction about us. But obviously these are... not really a correct view of who the Young Wolf is as a person. On a much better note, we should not forget Hawkmoon's lore tab in which we're getting drunk with Crow, while being observed by Savathun. We could possibly include also Ghost Community Theater lore tab. Ergo Sum for sure, in which we are mentioned at the end in abstract terms by the Traveler.
Probably one of the best examples is from Season of the Witch where we're canonically shown actively participating in more than just purely the seasonal storyline as someone who gets sent on missions passively and we are actually the ones who figure out the twist with Savathun and the pattern on her wings. This is also accompanied with the lore tab in the seasonal lore book where we are present in the scene and actually speak. I'm fairly sure that's one of two examples where we are shown speaking in a lore tab; the other would be Gjallarhorn. I genuinely can't remember if there are any others.
There's more obviously, as we're mentioned quite often so it's really hard to find everything. It's also difficult to search for; we're usually referred to as "the Guardian" in lore tabs, which causes the search to also catch any other mention of any other Guardian. The name "Young Wolf" is not used as often. The only other search parameter is VIP#2014, a code used by the Hidden that refers to us.
As usual, if anyone has any other favourites or remembers anything specific I didn't mention, feel free to add!
Behold my giant collection of Guardian & Ghost lore :^) They're mentioned quite a lot!
Some of these are a little ambiguous as to whether they're referring specifically to *the* Guardian, to Guardians in general, to a fireteam the Guardian would have probably been a part of, or even just the player themself in some cases, but I guess when I was making this list I figured they were relevant enough to include so hopefully they're still helpful
Colour key for the highlights is on the first image + this isn't a conclusive list and also hasn't been updated in a while so it's missing a lot of stuff from EoF onwards unfortunately
Oooh that's really neat as a resource! I'm actually impressed that I remembered some of these that mention us directly off the top of my head.
But yeah, there's quite a lot where we're referred to or spoken about in some way. Super difficult to search. Comparatively small amount of lore tabs where we're actively present. It's really interesting to me how we don't tend to appear in a lore tab often in the same way most other characters do. Even if we're there, we tend to be in the background or we're just acknowledged as present or being spoken to. I think these categories are really useful this way as well.
EoF-wise, now that I think about it, the lore book Epochs&Orbits involves us as the lore tabs are basically directly delivered to us in forms of visions from each member of the Nine. I'd have to look through everything else from scratch though to make sure for all the other lore tabs since EoF, I'm fairly sure there's others that fit in some of these categories. Epochs&Orbits is just the easiest to remember.

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or
How to "get it":
Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)
Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?
Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?
Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?
Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?
Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.
for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses š„ŗ" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint
look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."
Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.
