warframe is so fuckin trans

just

ough i love it so much

like even very early before we had the second dream and the operator it was kind of a not so subtle secret that we weren’t really the frames, we were just piloting them, with Alad V and Tyl Regor both commenting on how the warframe’s were just machines and empty shells, and also unpiloted wild frames are like feral animals, valkyr’s lore and a couple quests highlight this

so like even playing the game there’s this kind of meta level disconnect between you playing as the frames and just *swapping entire bodies* to fit the task at hand

where even the skin you wore was just a tool to do what you sought

and then we get the second dream and aw tits were actually an immortal space demon child

and oh no our spacemom(lotus), is actually a shapeshifter who took the shape of Margulis, who was the original mother to the tenno, and accidentally fell in love with these traumatized magic void children and donned the title of the lotus after the fall of the orokin at the hands of the tenno

and at the end of the new war when you get the opportunity to choose who space mom is like she is all of them, she is Natah/Margulis/Lotus and she will always be and has always been Natah/Margulis/Lotus and each one of those people has endured such trauma that that choice brought me to tears, i sobbed on my couch for over an hour just staring at the choices and thinking about

margulis was the orokin who took in and took care of the tenno. she protected them as best she could from the terrors of the orokin, and they ended up maiming her (on accident(i can’t actually remember how she died off the top of my head but)

and Natah, a mimic, the best mimic, daughter of Hunhow was sent to the original system ahead of the sentient invasion to weaken the orokin before they invaded, and donned Margulis’ skin

at some point the warframe’s are developed, a strain of the helminth virus injected into people mutating and twisting them into monsters

some kept their intellect, but it’s implied that a large number of the warframe’s were feral and uncontrollable

and the tenno, these ageless 12 year olds who’re the only survivors of a warp ship catastrophe and touched by the Void who made a deal with the Man In The Wall to save them and also give them magic powers, are able to connect with the warframes on a level nobody else can, and through transference can drive the warframe’s like external exosuits

perfect for ending this war with the sentients

and immortal child soldiers are perfect for a war spanning the solar system (at least? i know the sentients went to the Tau galaxy (system?) to terraform it ahead of the orokin)

and then the children murder their masters at the victory ceremony (after which they might have been executed? i can’t recall, i need to go reread the lore lol) and then Margulis -> Lotus hides them in Lua in the Void in a forever waking dream, still piloting their frames and as the Lotus, works as their mission advisor and probably securing missions to strategically weaken the corpus or grineer war machines

I scribbled this in like 2 minutes instead of the actual Pride stuff I have planned and honestly I think it turned out better than anything else I could’ve made

4, 5, 19, 31, and 33 for the Warframe ask game! :)

4- Who was your starter frame?

I picked Mag, but rushed to get Valkyr asap and since she was who I actually learned the game with (and was what drew me in in the first place) I consider her my actual starter frame. (this was before star map 3.0 so it was possible to get to Jupiter with a Mk-1 Paris. Had a nightmare fighting Alad V)

5 - favorite NPC

Absolutely Kermorros/Son Entrati. Ticker is definitely a strong second place though.

19 - who first comes to mind at the phrase "space dad?"

Umbra.

31 -what's your favorite color palette?

OH THIS IS A REALLY HARD ONE....maybe Easter? I started playing Warframe around an Easter, and this resulted in all my Warframes being very pretty pastels for a long while. Nowadays I just use random palletes to make all my Warframes the trans flag, because it's the only decoration I know how to do.

33 - The Business, Son, or Master Teasonai

Absolutely Son. I do really like The Business though, and don't think about Teasonai even a little.

Thanks for asking!

Just some personal pride icon/s I made for myself for this year, I normally use my own OCs but my heart was set on using Alad this time
