I'm sorry but Saint saying "She escaped" after watching Sundaresh fucking float down the vex milk lazy river made me yell at my monitor. The fuck do you MEAN "escaped"? You and Ikora somehow didn't vaporize her with your supers, and then we stood there like chumps as she pulled an Ophelia while monologuing!!! Somebody could've used Strand and yoinked her outta there!!! What are we doing!!!!!

Sloane: It's like tapping into the Taken's comms.... Sometimes I hear... whispers...

Xivu Arath right in my fucking ears: I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!! CHOKE ON MY SWORD, YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!!!

So I was replaying Vox Obscura and at the end there’s a psionic prediction, and uh....

so far we’re two for three and I’m feeling a little bit of Concern.

[missmirakell]

-What's something about you?

-Girl :)

We've clowned on them so much the people making the bots aren't even having them PRETEND they're top of onlyfans anymore

Something interesting about this season, is that the Young Wolf still feels guilt over what happened to Cayde. The Nightmare of Uldren very directly speaks to the Young Wolf, and taunts them.

Uldren:

And because the YW doesn’t speak, Eris does.

Eris:

But his lies do. The Young Wolf still doesn’t know what happened between Cayde’s stunt, and when they found him broken and dying on the ground. We don’t know how much pain he was in in those final moments, or how painful it is to lose our Ghost. To build on that thought, this conversation between Crow and Eris.

Crow:

Eris:

So the Nightmare of Uldren telling the YW that Cayde screamed, reached out for his Ghost and begged? That’s not necessarily a memory, or even true. That’s what the Guardian imagined, what they feared Cayde went through in his final moments. The worst way to die to them. Screaming in pain, begging for your now-dead constant companion for help. 

It’s not what we, the player, saw. We saw Cayde go to his final death with a sense of resolve. We saw him take each painful blow, we never saw him scream or beg. It’s all what the Young Wolf fears Cayde went through, because they weren’t fast enough.

Hello!! I'm sure you can tell by my name, I am an avid shipper of Eris and Drifter lol XD I wanted to ask you though, being a fellow player of Destiny 2, do you ship them? I would love to know your thoughts and I hope you have an awesome day/night!

Howdy!

I love the Drifter/Eris ship! I may have even bought haykebyr's book for them 🤭

This got long and it's a lot of musing, so more under the cut!

For the two of them, aside from just liking their general dynamic, what I love is that they're both incredibly interesting characters on their own. They're both people have survived the worst, but entirely different situations. Drifter saw the ugliest parts of humanity, living through the Dark Ages, and the turf wars of the War Lords. Eris witnessed the full horrors of the Hive, taking their eyes and making it part of herself, never able to truly forget the hell that she and her fire team want though.

The two of them deal with their trauma in different ways -- Eris is forever tied to the Hive, and she embraces that. Drifter, on the other hand, has never been able to quite settle down. He was always on the move, as the name might suggest. His experiences taught him not to get too attached.

But over the years, they bond. Eris is very blunt with him, and she often sees through Drifter's games, but they still challenge each other's perspectives. They compare notes on things most people would never dream studying/using. They're not afraid to look into the dark, and seize it -- their methods are just a little different.

And how could Drifter not admire Eris Morn? This woman has fought tooth and nail to achieve her goals - she's never run away, never backed down, never wavered in the face of impossible odds! Plus, she makes guns out of enemies! That's cool as hell.

Meanwhile on Eris's side, Drifter's methods are a bit uncouth, yet they often yield results. His relationship to the Light is strained, so he's more than willing to look into and accept whatever she's working on. In fact, he often seems enthusiastic, where as she's often met with concern or outright rejection from others. Where Ikora continues to show worry for Eris during Season of the Witch? Drifter expressed that concern once, but accepts when she tells him she knows what she's doing. He trusts her. He just needs to say it once to let her know he's there for her if it becomes too much. And I'm sure after so many people questioning her methods, and the others around her treating her actions with apprehension, his trust must mean the world to her. In fact, it's in the way she's started reassuring others.

"Trust." Such a simple statement. When Drifter says it in Gambit, there's an air of mystery. A reassurance, but like you're about to get Monkey Paw'd. When Eris says it? It's pure affirmation. Maybe she adopts it because Drifter really hasn't done anything to betray that trust, despite how he says it. And it's really that trust between them that is SO important. Eris has to trust that Drifter has her back, and won't just make an escape when things get hard. Drifter has to trust that Eris knows what she's doing when she uses, frankly, frightening powers. It's really what their relationship comes down to -- they built that trust over years, and they don't back down from each other. They're not afraid to look and see what the other is becoming -- they'll be right there with them

And honestly, the combination of Local Witch and Wandering Redneck is the scariest and most hilarious combination of people imaginable, and I'm obsessed with them.

Riven asking Crow "You want her back, don't you?"

And me sitting there with NO idea who they're talking about for a solid five minutes, because WHO did Crow/Uldren have a strong connection to...?

Honest to God I sat there more confused than I was actually listening because it definitely wasn't Jolyon they were talking about so who?????

Amanda. They were talking about Amanda.
