“Yes, a person is more than their experiences, stacked up like stones. But our best moments are the foundations we use to reach for the sky.” - Yumi & the Nightmare Painter

I have a lot of thoughts about the Cosmere but Yumi & the Nightmare Painter is probably my favourite single book by Mr. Sanderson so far

Yes, today is the first day of Passover!

Passover is the week-long festival which celebrates the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Some will have a second Seder tonight.

Throughout the days of Passover, many Jews will abstain from eating “chametz,” defined as any food containing wheat, oats, rye, barley, or spelt, save for the unleavened matzos bread. Some also refrain from eating “Kitniyot,” including corn, rice, and beans.

Additionally, the Counting of the Omer begins tonight at nightfall.

The Counting of the Omer is a verbal count with a blessing of each of the seven weeks (49 days) between Passover and Shavuot. The purpose of this is to stand in anticipation of the Torah.

Tonight: Count 1

So I'm insane, I decided as to celebrate Cayde-6 coming back to destiny. I would do a quick drawing of him a day.

Of course this is just for fun and because I love him. So I might miss some days because I do have commissions to work on but I will try to post as many as I can up until the the 4th.

Thats when the expansion with him comes out.

Wish me luck XD

what do you MEAN the oven is in pre heat???

I know Bungie probably won't be kind enough for this, but Light, I just want a cutscene when our guardian first sees Cayde again, they just rush to him and give him a hug instead of the blank word document amount of emotion we've been getting.

LET THEM HUG, BUNGIE!

What I want: HUG!

What we'll probably get: 6 feet apart COVID level of social distancing with a serious expression, maybe a "Good to see you again Cayde/kiddo." Interaction if we're LUCKY.

I get that it probably wouldn't make sense for new lights, but for people who have played D1 and 2? (Which is probably a majority of us, tbh) it would mean a lot. Besides, for new lights, it would be like hugging a folk hero or something. There's not a guardian alive that hasn't heard of Cayde-6.

I need my guardian to have some kind of emotion other than :I

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CAYDE.

I had a vision

I need to (remembers to not make casual suicide jokes in order to encourage a more outwardly positive mindset and healthy conversational environment in my day to day life) kill myself

I love my cat 🙂 (had to blur out her feet because this website scares me)
