Guys please, I’m so lonely

[faecaptainofdreams]

Imagine being born into a hyper-privileged lifestyle you didn’t ask for. All you want to do is be your own person and go exploring, going on adventures and trying new things. To combat your “ungratefulness,” your parents send you to a surrogate family so you run away from them, too. You run into an exalted but well-known stranger who calls you stupid, but then abducts you and corners you into doing what he wants with guilt, then accuses you of enjoying being a victim. So in the end you do what he wants. You’re groomed by him and, distantly, his wife, to undergo something you didn’t want, and you feel robbed of something very personal and special. But oh, remember! You’re an ungrateful son of a bitch who enjoys being a victim! You throw yourself at the dangers, traumas and turmoils you’ve been forced to face. You embrace your eventual demise, you make difficult and painful decisions so gruesome you have to send yourself into exile just to cope. You endure so much distress that you lament having not taken your own life after becoming a prisoner, just to be spared the responsibility and horrors thrust upon you. Your trauma is under appreciated, you’ve lost yourself, and only remember who you are in your dreams. You die a hero, at the tremendous cost of your individuality and innocence. People remember your sacrifices and triumphs, but do not honor your sorrow and losses. And, regardless of all the good and bad, your existence is in the shadow of the one who abducted you in the first place; your title is borrowed, as is much of your grief. For all of that, while what you did was right, the one thing you never got to be, was yourself…

How more of the fandom does not pay mind to Bornstellar, Chakas and their companions and stories truly blows me away. There’s bittersweet tragedy and triumph in these characters, in these pillars of the fandom, and they’re so overlooked.

Halo-Ween (Inktober) Sketch #30 You are what you Dare, Manipular. Ur-Didact and IsoDidact face each other. One of the major differences between them was the decision to fire the Halo array. WOO! ALL done!

343i should really just make a movie about forerunner saga

no scratch that, they shouldn’t because they might screw up like they did with halo 5, but someone who knows what they are doing should.
