Currently unwell about the fact that the final page of Triage told us that the last remaining descendants of Safiyah died during the Vex attack in Season of the Splicer and Splicer had an exotic ship Forbidden Memory, the first lore about Zavala having a wife, where he also goes to the memorial to mourn and it's described as being extremely difficult for him and he has memories of Safiyah there and this is so much more painful now because when he was mourning there, it wasn't just for Safiyah, it was for the last of her descendants.

Got me real good. Love going back and reading old lore with new information and being obliterated on the spot. Well done Bungie.

#destiny 2 #destiny 2 spoilers #season of the haunted spoilers #zavala #safiyah #actually in tears this week #like. people complained about the lore from splicer being out of nowhere #and not being explained #and i remember saying that we'll probably get more in the future #and we did. we sure did #now I'm emotionally compromised

NODE.OVRD.AVALON

So, Destiny 2 dropped a mission that actually opens like one of the old-school secret missions. No hints, no warning, just find something strange and investigate. Awesome stuff. But it does raise a few questions about some of the events and the nature of the Vex network.

We enter the network as Misraaks’s request, and travel through, doing some platforming and fighting some really rough battles with vex swarming while inputting access codes (easier to enter than the ones in the campaign, thankfully). As we go along, we see effectively data ghosts of Asher Mir, and they disappear when you approach them. He’s not entirely part of the network, it seems, but living in it, sneaking through and manipulating security for us. As the final encounter, we are treated to the return of none other than Brakion, the boss of the Pyramidion strike from Io before the planet vanished at the end of Season of Arrivals, with Asher having gone down into the Pyramidion to collapse it, preventing the witness from having direct access and seemingly sacrificing himself in the process (second best self sacrifice of the season, because Brother Vance’s lightless blind trek to seal the infinite forest damn near makes me tear up everytime I think about it). So... if we finally kill Brakion this time, does it stick? Is the vex network similar to the ascendant plane regarding the nature of Vex consciousness? If not, is it ever actually possible to truly destroy a Vex if they are connected to the network? The Undying Mind, Panoptes, and Quria are generally considered dead for good, and while Quria was killed in the network, she was a special case due to being part Taken. Undying Mind was killed in the Black Garden, and Panoptes was killed inside the Infinite Forest. Do the vex just... not ever actually die? Also, did Asher bring us into the network for one last moment of vengeance against Brakion, or was that just a nice bonus in addition to what he really wanted us to find? Regardless, I’m glad to see the seasonal stories getting follow-up, and this seems to support the return of Titan and Sloane for Season of the Deep even more now.

Destiny and Foreshadowing

I’m totally supposed to be doing homework but I’m so impressed by Destiny’s storytelling recently (specifically within the last year or so) and their way of foreshadowing and linking characters and themes together. Yesterday I read the lore entry V - CREDIBLE THREAT in which (Spoiler alert!) Crow goes to the Ether Tank and is going to leave a knife wedged into one of the stools as a threat to Spider, but decides against it. Instead, Glint threatens Spider directly after Crow decides not to. In that lore piece, Crow decides not to threaten Spider because he comes to the realization that Spider is “someone sleeping alone in a city of enemies.”

In some of the homework that I’m supposed to be doing right now, I stumbled across the word ‘sojourner,’ and let me be honest, that’s just not in my vocabulary so I looked it up and the definition I found was ‘a temporary resident,’ but specifically one who is only surviving due to the goodwill of the community around them. Then I thought, hey, there’s a Destiny weapon called this, I know it, and lo and behold there is! Sojourner’s Tale, which is a weapon from Season of the Splicer with a lore tab that directly discusses Crow and Spider. In the story, this lore tab depicts Spider’s reaction to learning that Crow has just stolen massive amounts of supplies from Spider and gifted them to the House of Light in Spider’s name.

Given the title of that lore tab and the season it takes place in, one would probably guess that the sojourner (or sojourners) in question is Mithrax and the Eliksni House of Light, however, examining the events of that season, I’m inclined to disagree. In the Season of the Splicer, the House of Light is berated and hated by the community around them, and seem to be surviving in spite of the community, rather than benefiting from the community’s generosity. Still, at the time of the Season of the Splicer, they’re the only people that could really be seen as sojourners. This is where the foreshadowing comes in. This lore tab is almost entirely about Spider, and in the current season we have Spider deprived of his wealth and power, living in the City at the mercy of humanity and the House of Light. To quote V - CREDIBLE THREAT, “[Spider] now survived on the charity of Drifter and Mithrax alone.”

Spider has been the sojourner of Sojourner’s Tale all along, we just didn’t know it. And what’s fantastic about that is that Sojourner’s Tale has been with us for over a year now. Destiny was foreshadowing Spider’s fall for over a year before it happened and before they finally went full circle and connected these two pieces of lore. Say what you will about Destiny’s story, but the way they can connect lore and themes like this is absolutely fantastic.

PSA

This blog, of-snakes-and-men, and theseverance does not follow the current events of Destiny 2 since the mun is absolutely fed up with the game. The last effort to keep up ended with the Season of the Splicer for me, and after that I only know bits and pieces.

I do not care about spoilers though, so if you really want to RP something from the current events, I can totally read up on something particular. Otherwise every thread happens in the (non-)specified past.

Wolf in the Daylight (Part 1)

Link to Part 2

Fandom: Destiny 2 Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Eido & F!Guardian, minor established F!Guardian/Mithrax Tags: hurt/comfort

Summary: Eido is stunned by what she learns about her father after their parley with Eramis. Sonora would like to be there for her as best she can, grappling with it all herself.

Spoilers for Week 5 story of Season of the Plunder.

A/N: I meant to have a longer piece out before this one to introduce Sonora, but I'm too antsy to get this out while its relatively timely. (The other piece is set during season of the splicer)

Sonora-9 is an exo hunter, and uses she/her pronouns. Her ghost, Echo, uses xe/xem pronouns. Jack, mentioned briefly, is a fellow guardian.

Set immediately after the parley with Eramis.

.

For once, Echo is silent in the jumpship. They sit in the ship for a long moment, and Echo just watches her as Sonora shakes her head.

Xe speak. “Are you surprised?”

“Not really.”

“I didn’t think so.” Xe watch Sonora begin plugging in the coordinates for home, and sigh. “What are you thinking, Nora?”

“I’m thinking about Eido. He should have told her.”

“He should have told you.”

“He should have told her, Echo.” Sonora’s voice is firm. Her sidearm sits on the console, just where she left it before the parley. Echo watches Sonora slot it back onto her hip, the pink lines of power glowing on it in the low light. “Telling me is optional.”

“I disagree.”

“You’re welcome to.”

“You should have known too. He already knows your demons.”

“I haven’t been thrown out of the City for mine, nor am I at risk. Nor am I in charge of a settlement of people. Or protecting a child.”

“Eido is grown.”

“It was a turn of phrase. I know she can handle herself, but after watching that, I’m certain Misraaks is only now seeing just how grown up she is.”

“But don’t you think- Hold on.” Echo turns from her and Sonora watches until xe turn back. “Sonora, transmission coming in.”

“It can wait.” Busy at the moment, Jack.

“From Eido.”

Not Jack. “Nevermind. Connect us.”

“It’s one-way.” Sonora and Echo share a confused look.

“Let’s hear it then.”

Echo opens the line.

The speakers on the other side are instantly obvious. Sonora and Echo share a horrified look.

“I did not have to hear it from her. That was your choice.” Eido’s voice is stern.

“That was not a story Eramis had any right to tell.” Misraaks sounds nearly as upset as he had been when he threatened to dock Spider’s arms.

“Did you believe that I would never find out? That no one would remember? I’m charged with preserving the history of our people!”

“Some history does not need to be preserved.” There is pain in his voice as he speaks, and Sonora grimaces.

“Like the Whirlwind? So much was lost; so much we will never recover, no matter how much we search… no matter how much we remember.” A shifting sound of fabric tells them that Eido is recording in secret. They look at each other again. “Is that what you wish to happen to us now?”

“You do not understand.”

“I want to understand. You will not let me!” Eido’s voice clips on the line as she raises her voice.

“You do not know what I know! You did not see what I saw!” Misraaks pauses. “When I pulled you from the wreckage of a Ketch, I knew that you deserved more than the world that orphaned you. I want you to look forward! Not to what the Whirlwind made us. You do not need to carry this history.”

They both stop, and for a moment, Sonora believes they’re finished.

They’re not.

Eido sighs. “It is a part of me, whether I witnessed it or not. I don’t want to look away, and I don’t want to forget.”

“You do not know what you ask.” His voice is so low, it’s nearly lost.

“Perhaps not. But nothing good comes from refusing to face the truth.”

With that, the line cuts.

“That was…” Sonora starts.

“That was bad.” Echo finishes.

As Sonora begins setting the coordinates once more, Echo settles into her hood.

“Where are we going, Nora?”

“Where else?”

.

Sonora tracks Eido back to the Eliksni quarter.

“You don’t want to talk to the big guy?”

“I do. Later.” Sonora’s mind wanders to Misraaks, but she refocuses. “Eido’s more important at the moment.”

Sonora steps out into the Botza district and there is a pall of silence over those she passes. They regard her with nods and looks, but no words.

She finds Eido on the overlook beside the Ether Tank. Sonora approaches slowly, as she notices the young woman’s hood is down. She hears a chatter that she knows isn’t a happy sound, and clears her throat. Tries to.

Eido glances her way, then hastily pulls her hood back up. “Sonora!”

“Hey.”

“I… I did not hear your approach.”

“Didn’t mean to sneak up on you… We heard your… message.”

“We? Oh, Echo. Good, good. I wanted to speak with you at some point… but this is better than over the transponder.”

“Agreed.”

The two of them look at each other, and Eido crosses both sets of arms, putting a hand under her chin.

“Misraakskel of House Light… My father… a murderer and a liar.” She sounds so deflated as she starts. “I am… beyond disappointed. That my father’s past is one so grim hurts… but not nearly as sharp as the pain of knowing he hid it from me. He didn’t tell me earlier and I had to hear it from Eramiskel.”

“He should have been the one.” Sonora agreed, her arms crossed against her chest. Echo shifted against her neck, but kept quiet.

“I… I was aware he had a past, but in a way, Eramiskel showed me who my father is today… and who he sees when he looks at me. I don’t like the implications of either possibility I can think of.”

“Which are?” Sonora asks evenly.

“He must think I am… unable to understand… either that or he doesn’t care whether or not I do. Underestimated or dismissed in his eyes.”

Sonora suppresses a wince at that. Eido either doesn’t notice or sees and ignores it, turning around and continuing on.

“And no matter which is true, the lesson I draw from it is the same: my own father does not want me to know him.”

“He thinks the world of you, Eido. He’d move heaven and earth for you, if he could.”

“Then why hide this from me? Put me at such a distance?”

“I’m not saying he was right to hide all this. He wasn’t. Not from you.” She feels Echo shift against her neck pointedly, and ignores xem.

“Sonora, why are you so calm? My father kept the truth from you as well! His mate!” Eido turns to her quickly, the young eliksni’s arms open in question and eyes wide with anger. Sonora watches her, glancing at the girl’s hands. They’re stained from her tinkering and recording.

Oil stains, ink stains.

Sonora sighs.

“Because I’m not the one he was trying to hide it from.” Eido looks to start again, but Sonora shoots her a sharp look and continues. “I can’t judge your father for his past. I won’t. I’d be a hypocrite, condemning his choice to hide away from that life while doing the same bloody work today.”

“My father’s past… conquest and your mission are not the same. You fight for the City, for the humans and eliksni within it-”

“That’s the reason for what I do… but… you’ve seen my work, Eido. It doesn’t look all that different.” Sonora throws her hands up and drops them, feeling drained herself.

“I don’t think the way he treated this situation was right. The way he treated you.” Sonora points at Eido as she speaks. “His actions today may change some ways I see him, but his past doesn’t really affect what I admire about him.”

“His vision.” Eido muttered.

“And his commitment to making things better. Making things right.” Sonora adds quickly, seeing the droop in Eido’s shoulders. Sonora steps toward her, and puts a hand on her arm. “He has things to answer for, Eido. And those answers belong to you.”

“...Thank you, Sonora.” Eido shifts her mask with one hand, before pulling Sonora into a hug that reminds the hunter just how tall she isn’t around eliksni. As they pull back from one another, Eido’s eyes have that signature squint of her smile. “But you deserve those answers too. Father owes them to you as well.”

“You first, Eido.”

fuck it - its 2am and I need to sleep but lets take a look at the new weapons we are getting with lightfall, shall we?

//SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!!!

these are probably the new legendary expansion weapons. we see a hand canon, and a sniper. also a fusion rifle and a pulse rifle (?). the weapons look very clean and I hope bungie is gonna release the shader as well. <3 very interested in the hand canon especially. <3

// Final Warning uwu sidearm - pretty sure thats an exotic? kinda reminds me of cryosthesia 77k from splicer (man i love that gun - i should use it more). even tho we don't have a sidearm meta (like i would care what meta we have lmao) but I still enjoy a good sidearm. also very pleasing to look at imo.

// Deterministic Chaos exotic machinegun next <3 its promising a lot of fun and as a void hunter main (i won't ever be tired of saying that) i am very interested in how it feels ingame. (but we also got a very good legendary machinegun this season too - we will have to wait and see i guess.) I'm a huge fan of the aesthetic at least! its super pretty <3

// Winterbite STASIS GLAIVE?? YES PLEASE!! when glaives were introduced in witch queen i was looking forward to getting an stasis one too and here we are! it looked very good in the trailer and I am super excited for it as well! + it just looks so dope, doesn't it??

I've been watching all the trailers quite a few times now and I am so so excited to see what bungie brings into the game with lightfall. Its only a month now lads! we got this!
