I think an severely underrated perspective of the Traveler comes from Peach the ghost and I think she’s the best for being something along the lines of an atheist /lighthearted
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like you’re so right girl, we don’t know much about the Traveler and probably never will, so we probably shouldn’t make our speculations into divine scripture.
I enjoy how her criticism points towards the Traveler not being much of a god people would want, much less an all powerful god who is so wise and knows so much about what it’s like to be a sentient human/ghost/eliksni/uluran/etc., it can predict the future and create a perfect predetermined fate for everyone.
She’s also right that if you cling onto the idea that the Traveler is an omniscient being that can craft purpose, without ever considering other perspectives on it, you’d have to come to terms with the fact that it would be an intentionally massive jerk for its behavior (and you’ll probably want to cut away at the imperfections of your people and combine their will into a single being who will hunt it down)
And above all, she’s right that we really shouldn’t hold what we think the Traveler would want for us above what we want for ourselves and we shouldn’t hold narratives we crafted of it to fit our feelings towards it as a singular, indisputable truth. We live for ourselves first and foremost, not for the Traveler’s approval. It’s probably just as lost as we are.
Also in regards to some recent lore about her watching Osiris with strand:
Tumblr media
I love, love, LOVE when Destiny drops what seems to be a throwaway line in lore that came out years ago, only to revisit it later and turn it into something meaningful for the future. I start jumping up and down when I’m able to spot connections to old lore, I love it!
Guys make sure you think about how awesome Peach is at least once a day and remember, be a gardener when it comes to other perspectives on the nature of existentialism/spirituality/religion/divinity! It is our ability to share how we perceive reality that helps us appreciate cultural similarities and differences, even if you don’t agree with them, which makes us stronger and helps us break down harmful, dogmatic thinking.

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

Angel Dust: “Sweetie, babe… missy, hun-”
Vaggie: “If you’re talking to your reflection in the mirror again, I’m kicking you both out.”
Angel Dust: “I just don’t GET it!”
Vaggie: “It’d be the fourth time you talked dirty to yourself in public this week and I was sick of hearing it three times ago. What’s not to get.”  
Angel Dust: “How come ya got so many pet names for ya girlfriend, Vaggisaurus? Ya don’t seem the type.”
Vaggie: “That’s the worst thing anyone’s ever said to me.”
Angel Dust: “I’m serious! It don’t fit ya at all!”
Vaggie: “Sure it does.”
Angel Dust: “How??”
Vaggie: “I love her. And she loves pet names.”
Angel Dust: “If she loves ‘em so much then why ain’t SHE callin’ YOU by any?”
Charlie: “Well maaaaaybe she WOULD if EVERYONE ELSE actually USED Vaggie’s name instead of saying it WRONG or turning it into a JOKE all the time! Ha ha ha! Isn't that funny???? Maybe Vaggie’s girlfriend LIKES her name and thinks it’d be SAD if no one ever SAID IT!!!”
Angel Dust: “Aw c’mon, since when does that-”
Lucifer: “Gooooooood MORNING Char-char! Good morning Maggie!”
Charlie: “Hi dad.”
Vaggie: “Good morning, sir.”
Husk: “Mail’s here. More fucking hate letters from heaven addressed to That Filth Vagina.”
Vaggie: “Great. Let Niffty burn those too.”
Niffty: “THE SACRIFICIAL TRASH RAT FIRE SHALL CONSUME IT’S VICTIMS ALONG WITH THEIR FINAL HELPLESS SCREAMS!!!”
Cherri Bomb: “Cool. Hey guys- Pentious sent a text asking for someone named ‘Vagatha’ to make sure his Egg Boi gets tucked into bed tonight and read a bedtime story from one of the death machine instruction manuals… and I’m wondering…"
Cherri Bomb: "...who the fuck is Vagatha???”
Vaggie: “His murderer, if he wasn’t already dead.”
Cherri Bomb: “What the fuck? I was that idiot’s nemesis! Whoever this Vagatha chic is, I’ve got a bomb to pick out for her!”  
Charlie: “Cherri, just…” (sigh) “Just tell Pen I’ll handle it, okay?”
Cherri Bomb: “Sure thing, but who-”
Charlie: “Don’t ask.”
Vaggie: “Thanks babe.”
Angel Dust: “…..”
Angel Dust: "Huh.
Vaggie: “...You were saying?”
Angel Dust: "Ya need a new name, Vaggietales.”
Vaggie: “I’ve got a loving girlfriend who always says it right, so I think I’m good actually.”
Angel Dust: “Toots, no one outside of a porno can say ‘Vaggie’ with a straight face.”
Charlie: “I do!”
Angel Dust: “You’re in homosexuals with her. Like, sickenin' deep in the yuri genre. It ain't straight and it don’t count.”
Vaggie: “If we're talking about dumb names don't forget I somehow call you ‘Angel’ with a straight face.”
Angel Dust: “Only ‘cause ya hate heaven an' mean it as a slur.”
Charlie: “Oh Angel Dust, you KNOW that’s not-”
Vaggie: “True.”
Angel Dust: “BITCH I KNEW IT!!”
Charlie: “Oh for... is there ANYONE here who’s normal about names???”
Alastor: “Ah-HEM~”
Charlie: “Normal in a non-serial killer kinda way.”
Alastor: (smiles) "Ah." (fades back into shadows)

During the party, William gave a 15 minute comedy roast farewell speech to Jason recouting Jason's time with them and 'all the mistakes he'd made'

He kisses—how do I explain it? Like someone in love. Like he has nothing to lose. Like someone who has just learned a foreign language and can use only the present tense and only the second person. Only now, only you.
