I know this and can name the series
I know this but can't name the series

Transcript:
My Guardians, my Acolytes, my friends. How can I express all that may be said after everything we have achieved together? I will try. I must.
The Hellmouth did not end for me when I reached Luna's surface. It did not end at the death of Crota or the Taken King. It was relentless. I could not see beyond it. My nightmares persisted and I suffered their torments.
I thought that usefulness would save me, to endure despite all, to make meaning from my fear and isolation. But that did not save me.
That did not quiet my anguish.
It was you, guardians, you who have been by my side through my grief, my pain, my vengeance, and my joy, from the hatred of the Hive to the wonders of my throne.
For that, I am grateful, eternally.
So think now of love, the love between you and your ghost, the love between you and your fireteam, and the love I have for all of you.
Hold fast and it will never diminish.
Remember our time together and be glad.
Thank you, guardians. Thank you.

People have a lot of unexpected free time right now with nothing to do. What better time to create a rec list of your favourite fics to share out with your followers?
Recommend your own fics, your friends’ fics, your favourites from different fandoms. Create lists for tropes, ships, themes, what have you.
People looking for stories get more entertainment. People who wrote those stories get to know how loved their words are. You get to feel awesome for making so many people happy. Everyone wins!
Create your own banner or grab one of these. Tag the author if you know their tumblr. If you don’t, maybe drop them a comment on their story to let them know you rec’d it. Provide people with links and maybe include a summary or the reason why you recommend that story. And of course, feel free to ask others for recommendations too!
Image descriptions below. All of these are banners in different styles with the words “fic rec list” or “fanfiction recommendation list” on them
Neon blue text on a black background, taking up the left hand side of the image. On the right are a series of lightbulbs hanging from neon blue strings and glowing white.
Yellow text with a black shadow. The font is reminiscent of comic books. The background colour is shades of red.
A clothesline with a heart, a sheet, and another heart pinned to it. The sheet is white with red text, matching the hearts. The background is sky blue.
Navy blue background with gold filigree in the centre, creating a negative space box in the middle. The text is the same gold as the filigree.
An almost-black background with raindrops on it (like a darkened window). The text is white with an art deco feel to it.
A dark grey damask background. Along the left third of the banner are gold/floral curlicues. The right two-thirds is occupied by text in the same gold. The text is cursive with many flourishes.
A watercolour background of horizontal brush strokes. The top is bright pink, the bottom is bright yellow, and in between is where the paints blended. Text is white, lowercase cursive over the bright pink section of the banner.
A rainbow of paint, exploding towards the camera. The central colour is red with yellow and green on the left, purple and pink on the right. The text is white and similar to a typewriter or old-fashioned label maker.
A chalkboard type textured background in blue-ish green. The text is white and similar to chalk hand writing or printing.
Image of a crowd with their arms raised. Beyond the crowd are spotlights on a dark background. It feels like a concert. A central pair of arms that are in focus have their hands held together to make a heart. text is lowercase cursive in dark yellow with a shadow behind.
Not entirely sure how to word this, but I’ve always loved the entire concept of Ghosts as a way to justify a revive/respawn mechanic.
In pretty much every game I’ve ever played that has a revive/respawn mechanic, it’s never explained as to how it works. Which isn’t really that big of a deal to me; it’s a game mechanic that allows you to keep playing the game, case closed.
And then you have Destiny. Get gunned down by a Cabal turret? Your Ghost will have you up in a hot second. Did another Guardian fire a rocket a bit to close to themselves? Go interact with their Ghost to rez them. Did you finally kill that bastard camping an ammo spawn in Trials? Better make sure their teammates can’t get to their Ghost, or they’ll be back up doming you from halfway across the map in seconds.
Except your Ghost is more than just a flying respawn machine. He can hack stuff, mark things on your tracker/radar thingy, oh and he’s an entire character with a personality who reflects the personality of your Guardian, who barely speaks.
The nonverbal communication and interactions in cutscenes between the two are fuckin immaculate. The way Ghost tilts the parts of his shell to express emotions - annoyance, shock, excitement, curiosity… and your Guardian reacts to him usually with a glance or a look, like… idk they just kinda get each other.
But while he is your Ghost, he’s not YOUR Ghost. By which I mean, Ghost is his own, independent character. He’s not a reflection of you or anyone else, and that’s made clear when his opinions and thoughts don’t align with the actions of you as the Guardian. In a lore thing from Forsaken I believe? there is a list of things he wishes he could say to you. One of those things is how he sees that you’re going on a rampage through the Tangled Shore, and justified by the death of Cayde-6 as it may be, he doesn’t like it; it scares him. But he still loves you - that’s also on the list, and even during Beyond Light we see this when he continues to stay by our side even as we start wielding the Darkness in the form of Stasis.
That’s not to say he can’t be vengeful himself. In the lead up to the final boss battle with Savathun during the Witch Queen campaign, Savathun taunts you and your Ghost. This isn’t anything new - bosses taunt you before and during boss fights all the time in Destiny campaigns - and usually you react by wiping the floor with them, without a word in response. Except this time, Ghost is PISSED, essentially says “how fucking dare you, you killed my friends”, lists a bunch of shit the Hive have done to humanity (most of which you personally have been affected by as a combatant against the Hive), and ends off by telling her that he would rather die than serve the Hive.
Speaking of the Witch Queen, we also get to see that Ghost isn’t perfect; he absolutely despises other Ghosts who joined the Hive, and makes that abundantly clear. He’s also extremely suspicious of Fynch, the Hive Ghost who helps you out in the Throne World. Ghost is kind of an ass to Fynch, because to him, the Ghosts who joined the Hive under Savathun betrayed the Traveller and humanity. But when he realizes that most of the Hive Ghosts like Fynch were coerced into helping the Hive in their search for their Guardians, he outright APOLOGIZES to Fynch. It’s actually a pretty cool moment in the story, and it shows like… yeah, he’s capable of making mistakes, but he’s also capable of at least trying to fix them.
Also he was really funny that one time when the Drifter didn’t show up to run tactical for you in Beyond Light, so he did an impression of him instead lmao
Ghost impersonating Drifter is definitely something I'd put on a highlight reel of favourite stuff from Destiny.
i tore open time for you.
Some things are different now.

I'm sure they're dealing with Osiris's newfound mortality in healthy ways.

Wondermark #1582; Limit Your Scream Time
Don't get me wrong, I love Destiny 2 raids but sometimes it's like, Okay PEECHAN1000 we'll do the complex stuff, here's what we need you to do: first you have to kill the 17 elite wizards in this room without getting hit by the global shockwave that goes off every 5 seconds (it will instakill you and everyone will have to restart the entire encounter) then you'll get two buffs, one will last for 30 seconds, the other for 20 seconds. When the first buff runs out, but before the second buff runs out, you'll have a ten second window to pick up one of three glowing orbs hidden around the room (to find out which one you need, determine which day of the week and the exact minute on the hour it is and follow the flow chart we posted in discord) then run to a square that is not the boss's least favorite color and do three counter clockwise circles and shoot the smallest of 50 knights exactly ten times. If you did it correctly you will hear a tiger's growl, if you did it incorrectly you will hear a lion's growl. If you don't do this in time, we wipe. Do all of that three more times, this will open the passage to where we'll deal damage to the boss, but don't go though it yet! Next you'll have 30 seconds to run seven laps around this spire of floating platforms while jumping through rings, each lap you will pass a large projection of one of the presidents of the united states, decide which president this is and make a mental note of each president's full name and consecutive years in office and birthday. Then you'll have 20 seconds to call out to us the name of every president you did not see while running laps. It will be more helpful to the rest of us if you could list them in reverse alphabetical order. This will give you a buff which will last for 10 seconds and will allow you to deal damage to the boss. Now let's go over damage phase. Remember the years those seven president's were in office and their birthdays?
We investigated how they charge more for less.
So, we now know on a direct statistical level that Dollar General is literally making the Vimes Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness into a part of its core business model.
Sweet jesus…
True, the chain pays its workers industry-low wages in under-staffed stores that can be magnets for armed burglary. And yes, Dollar Store management targets economically struggling communities, focusing on customers who make less than $40,000 a year and visit the store multiple times a week. “The economy is continuing to create more of our core customer,” CEO Todd Vasos said in 2018.
But to those working class consumers, Dollar General promises to deliver “everyday low prices.”
In reality, without knowing it, customers are often paying Whole Foods prices for dollar store groceries.
A More Perfect Union investigation reveals that Dollar General charges premium prices across a range of staple goods—52% more per pound for chicken breasts than its cheapest competitor, for instance—but masks the high cost from consumers by stocking smaller pack sizes.
In other words, Dollar General often charges more for less. It offers low absolute prices for national brands, but in smaller pack sizes than other stores, in order to push per-unit costs higher.
Take all the time you need ♡ you got body guards 💪
