did I ever share with y’all……… whatever tf these are that I take and collect

"seismic events" u mean my skull turning to powder

I was playing the Shadow Thief strike and I hear this terrible racket behind me. I glance over just in time to see my fireteam member run like hell from Taniks

But all I could see was:

I think of you

Oh

Oh wow

Zavala extends a hand bloody from the palm. When he finished the ritual you do not know. Whether Caitl saw or not, whether this honor is public or private. The hand that took Crow’s was clean, you think as his blood smears on your glove. Their partnership is new. Ours is old, now, as of today, ours is dried blood instead of clean skin, and that’s new, too.  

(WARNING: Long post)

So, one of my favorite things about the Destiny Tumblr community is the fact that everyone has their own stories and headcannons for their own Guardians. One of the things I remember from early Tumblr times are the massive lists of character creation questions people would create for OCs for whatever fandom they were a part of. So I decided to put together a list of character questions for those who like building their Guardians persona!

These questions range from Destiny questions, generic character questions, and questions for world building(specifically for your Guardians). If you have more than one Guardian, just copy the list as may times you need!

Feel free to add more questions! But please make sure to add them to this original post, so that way it is easier for everyone to find all the questions in one place.

The questions are in no particular order, so it may seem a little scattered(sorry!). I'm currently writing this at 5:16am. Anyway...Have fun!!

Tumblr app is finally working right for once, so all the questions will be in the read more!

Well @titansexual I had to deliver

Behold

going thru phone pics and found this thing that was tacked up next to the toaster at my old job, if anyone needs some light toast eating reading material

Would anyone be kind enough to transcribe this or link to a text version?

Everything Is AWFUL and I’m Not Okay: Questions to Ask Before Giving Up on Yourself

Are you hydrated? 

If not, have a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic or increase feelings associated with anxiety and a well hydrated brain functions optimally. Avoid excess caffeine. 

Have you eaten in the past three hours? 

Don’t be a victim of hanger! Get some food–something with protein, not just simple carbs or high-fat. Nuts, hummus, and veggies are great options to feed your studying brain. Keep healthy snacks within reach to avoid mindlessly chowing down on sweets. 

Have you stretched your legs in the past day? 

If not, do so right now. If you don’t have the energy or time for a run or a trip to the gym, just walk around the block or building. Even minimal exercise preps the mind for learning so that you can focus better and recall things easier, plus it’s good to get a change of scenery. 

Have you said something nice to someone in the past day? 

Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine! We bet your study partner would appreciate a compliment. 

Have you moved your body to music in the past day?

If not, jog for the length of a song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around your bedroom for the length of an upbeat song (singing along is a bonus) 

Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?

If not, do so. Don’t be afraid to ask for hugs from friends of friends’ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; you’re not imposing. 

Have you started or changed any medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand? 

That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesn’t settle down. 

If daytime: are you dressed? 

If no, put on clean clothes that aren’t PJs. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether it’s a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress. 

If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep? 

Put on PJs, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes while focusing on breathing deeper with every breath- no electronic screens allowed! Adequate sleep is a necessity for stress management. 

Do you feel ineffective? 

Pause right now and get something small completed, whether it’s responding to an email, loading the dishwasher, or tidying up your room. Good job!

Do you feel unattractive? 

Take a darn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look. You are always insta-worthy. 

Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?

Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial. 

Have you over-exerted yourself lately–physically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually? 

That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether it’s physical rest, taking some time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment for a little. Time spent refreshing yourself is never time “wasted!” 

Have you waited a week? 

Sometimes or perception of life is skewed, and we can’t even tell that we’re not thinking clearly, and there’s no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then. 

You’ve made it this far; and you will make it through. You are stronger than you think.

Because someone might need this today

You have survived 100% of your worst days.

This too shall pass.

Wildly helpful.

Uldren Sov Crow

I had a realization.

The bow that Shaxx is gifting in “Say It with a Dawning Gift” isn’t for Mara Sov.

It’s for Sjur Eido.

I was writing up a whole thing and then a single line fucked me up.

Fuck. It was such a good theory, too.

I refuse to acknowledge this single line. Tell me moar about this theory 👀👀👀

It’s mostly just “Here’s why I think it’s about Sjur and not Mara”.

During The Dawning, we only had the context of the lore on “The Mark of the Great Hunt”, which birthed the dreaded, overhyped, overused “The helmet stayed on.” (This line honestly implies absolutely nothing other than to reinforce that Shaxx doesn’t take his helmet off, not even for Awoken Royalty, and for so many people to use it as “evidence” that Shaxx and Mara fucked is frankly quite annoying.)

But anyways, when Season of the Drifter came around, and we got The Recluse, we found out that Lord Shaxx and Sjur Eido were actually very good friends! After the Awoken Archer killed him with (just) a bow, of course.

From “Say It with a Dawning Gift”:

From “The Recluse”:

So if Shaxx knew a fighty, regal woman who might like a bow (for shooting arrows), why would he give the bow to a woman who clearly prefers listening to him recite Shakespeare by memory? 

We also have no timestamp on when the exchange between Eva and “Torito” took place, so this could have been before Sjur’s disappearance, or around the time of it, and he wouldn’t have known about it.

Sjur already has a bow? So what! Shaxx would know she likes bows. It’s a thoughtful gift, nonetheless.

This could very well be grasping at straws, but I think something like this is much more likely, and fits the context of the lore better, than the original/commonly understood meaning.
