The Chronicles of A.S

Alex Striker (20; she/her) Hello! I’m just an aspiring author tumbling through life while hyperfixating on anything with a heavily traumatised, grumpy, grey character! Currently, Transformers, Destiny, Mass Effect and Project Hail Mary have consumed every inch of my brain and study time! So welcome! I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for and enjoy the rest of your day! 🫡💜

They said he’s stable. Nothing should go wrong.

Once the elevator opened to the fifth floor, she bolted out, nearly colliding with a nurse.

“Sorry!” she shouted over her shoulder, barely pausing to give an apologetic bow of her head.

Her lungs burned, each breath scraping against her dry throat as she heaved for air. She bent over, her hands gripping the fabric of her pants, briefly glancing up to make sure she was at the right door.

“Light,” she wheezed, “Maybe I might die first.”

Destiny Heritage Post

[drifterslittlemuffin]

I'm just trying to watch a Curse of Osiris playthrough but my fucking GOD, are these commenters annoying. They can't go TWO SECONDS without talking shit.

[striker-chronicles]

I remember watching a playthrough of Echoes and they’d edited a puking emoji in an interaction between Saint and Osiris. I think it was during the tomb scene. It was so off-putting. I switched to Destin after that; he’s been pretty good. Not sure if he did Curse of Osiris though 🤔

It's Not Over Until You Say It's Over

The story of Destiny told by Bungie (and their Sony Overlords) is likely over. Even with a petition, its not going to bring back the people that were laid off that helped make Destiny what it is. D3 likely isn't gonna happen and if it did, it likely will be a pale and frail successor to what could have been. That doesn't mean that our Destiny has to end any time soon. We're free to pick up the torch and explore what ever idea sparks inspiration and create the adventures that we think our Guardians and the rest of the Destiny universe deserve. So, c'mon Guardians. The story isn't over until we let it end on our own terms. Share your stories, keep on adding to the world and don't give up on things yet. Guardians make their own fate after all.

Apologies for the lack of updates 😅 I’m aware that I’m being a bit slow with releasing Part 2 of His Little Bird. Getting back into the swing of writing was a lot harder than I though, but hopefully I’ll have a schedule set for myself soon where I can allocate a specific time for writing (fanfiction and OG stories combined) during each day.

Anyway, have a good day! 🙂‍↕️😊

I’ll post an update/snippet soon! 💜

i love it when characters are codependent. i love it when losing someone feels like losing a limb. i love it when two people "complete" each other so wholly and terribly that one can barely function without the other. i love it when the fear of losing the only person who understands them is so all-consuming they'll destroy anything to stay together, including themselves.

[striker-chronicles]

I think this applies perfectly to Guardians and their Ghosts. Losing the latter is literally losing a part of themselves and not just their Light. But their other half. They're not just intertwined paracausally, but emotionally, mentally and spiritually too. They are two halves of the same whole, and nothing else can ever fit into the same spot they once filled. It is made perfectly for them, and them only. That's why a Guardian can't just up and go get another Ghost. They were *made* for each other. There's no one else in the world that they could have chosen because Ghosts have been described to search for decades or even centuries for THEIR Guardian. Theirs. Not *A* Guardian. Theirs.

Hell, I mean, Targe went face-to-face with the Witness and sacrificed himself to save Zavala. Sagira sacrificed herself to save Osiris from Xivu Arath. Even our Ghost put himself on the line during the fight against the Witness. ALSO, Glint knew the repercussions of having Crow as his Guardian, but rezzed him anyway. He loved and cared so much about Crow that he'd spiral himself into constant worry. He'd put himself on the line to defend his Guardian; literally and figuratively.

And even if Guardians and Ghosts don't get along, like Drifter and Blue, or Ikora and Ophiuchus there's still a kinship there that's silently accepted because if everything around them falls apart, in the end, they'd still have each other.

It's so tragic and so poetic at the same time that I'll never get over the actual depth of this companionship the devs brought into the game. I could spend hours ranting on and on about this and I probably will.

THIS! This loretab explains it perfectly!

'My friend, my partner… my Guardian.' – Ghost — Lately I've been thinking a lot about our adventures, our friends… You. Being your Ghost cam

See you all in the Tower! 💜

[hiveswap]

big fan of when you peel back all layers of a character and at the bottom of it there's love

[hiveswap]

why are they doing this? because they loved someone so much it caused the plot to happen. Grief counts btw

[hiveswap]

ESPECIALLY a big fan of when this isn't enough to make them a good person

[rneliflua]

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

[rneliflua]

blorbofication to me is when you love a character in such a laser focus way that you somewhat detach them from the narrative from which they are inserted and treat them in a way roughly similar to how you'd treat an oc for which you still have no story and just like to put them in situations just for fun. which there's nothing wrong with btw, it's just that it can easily lead to people forgetting the character engine in a narrative and not just a barbie doll
