Since I need some inspiration for a thing, and we've talked about first crota fireteam armor headcanons before: have you got any headcanons for what Eris' guardian-era armor was like? 👀

I mostly assign armour to characters based on the Vibes their lore, flavour texts and/or names give off (seriously, I've got a whole spreadsheet), unless of course there are things they canonically wear. I really like the idea of giving her the Hunter set of the Great Hunt from LW. I also combed through D1 armour and figured the descriptions of Gravebreaker 1.3 legs and chest, Exultation Boots and Scarlight Vest (I love that one!!) were, ah, on point. As for cloaks I thought Cloak of Reverence would align nicely with my headcanon for her relationship with the City and what being its guardian meant for her back before the Hellmouth. Queen's Arrow is another pick for if we assume she already had some connection to Mara during her Guardian days.

I remember you once commented how you hc Eris as a scout rifle person and I was not the same ever since. The Vibes command me to assign her the NA3D1 Salvation State and Cryptic Dragon, I also thought about giving her Eyasluna before I learned she doesn't really seem to like them.

And ah my headcanon for Brya is either the or True North or Infinite Hand Shell........ ;-;

Once again i’m having insane feelings about Toland’s and Eris’ ghosts both being named for flowerings plants, and the meaningfulness of their names as they relate to the Ghosts themselves and their Guardians.

(Brya being a genus of trees that grow in poor soil and flowers after rainfall; Guren meaning “red lotus blossom” and connotations relating to hell in Buddhist cosmology)

Since @flowers-of-io has me thinking about it. Brya and Guren shell headcanon time.

Brya I picture as kind of a medium green color. Probably the default ghost shape. Might have a bit of light ornamentation, beaded or painted, but fairly plain overall. I'd like to think Eris sometimes stuck some little flowers on her flanges when they were out in the field. :)

Guren on the other hand I picture as dark red and one of the more ornate and "flowery" shell shapes. (There's a reason for this.) He's about as into hive stuff as his Guardian so he might have some cursed hive knickknacks attached, and a green optic. Pointy and not-friend-shaped overall.

Finally, she cannot keep the words in any longer.

“Why are you working with him?”

Guren slowly tuns around and fans out his upper spikes, like an eyebrow raised.

“Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? Help our, ah, Guardians?” The ironic glare he gives her makes Brya way too angrier than it should. “Another of the Speaker’s useless terms.”

“You Guardian is toying with powers that could get all of us killed, and you’re helping him.”

Guren laughs dryly, humourlessly. She can almost hear Toland’s voice in it.

“But you will follow us into the deep because Eris has already made that choice for you, and you will never abandon her, even as she leads you down there to die.”

It's something I actually already have in my drafts (though it's so far but a random paragraph torn out of context and a few story notes), but I've long been planning to write a piece on Brya and Guren's relationship as a sort of outsider's view on First Crota Fireteam. The whole bond between Guren and Toland has been fascinating me a lot in general too, what with their, uh, conflicting accounts on that matter (sprinkled with general unreliability when it comes to whatever Toland says about his relationships with anyone), and sometimes ya just feel that burning need for some ridiculously tragic angst, you know?

I love y’all’s design of post-Hellmouth Toland (spooky), but I personally never imagined him with any Hivesthetics like horns or extra eyes tbh. I like to think he didn’t hang around the Hellmouth for long enough to even *be changed* and instead ran to Ir Yut the first chance he got (if I read this right, it was even before Eriana’s death - “Toland's song was nothing but screams, and we go now to sing with them”). Somewhere along the way he stumbled upon Eris freaking out after Omar’s death and taught her some of these “tricks” like Hive teleportation, and mayyybe gave her a hint about the Hive eyes (though I like to think she figured that out by herself); we don’t really know how long they were running amok in the Hellmouth and dying one by one, so I guess Eriana and Toland met briefly in the Stills again just before he set off for his date/Ir Yut’s private concert.

I see him as this greyish-pale, ridiculously tall man, skeletal like the death itself, with long black hair and brown eyes. Would be strikingly handsome if he didn’t look so dead. I also like to think Guren and Brya, in some inexplainable way (even for themselves, probably), got along.

Thank you for the chance to ramble about Toland the Disaster, I relish it.
