I am reminded of my sisters. Of moments spent by lapping shores, gazing up at infinite stars full of possibilities and wonder.

one of my contributions for solar embrace ♥

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Destiny (Video Games) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Oryx & Savathûn & Xivu Arath (Destiny) Characters: Xivu Arath (Destiny), Oryx (Destiny), Savathûn (Destiny) Additional Tags: Xivu Arath-centric, Xivu Arath POV Summary:

Xi Ro was born the youngest child in the Osmium Court. According to the way of the world, that made her the weakest.

She was the only one left now, so perhaps there was usefulness in weakness.

Xi’Ro: You ever cracked open someone’s head?

Sathona: Have you ever even cracked open a book???

Aurash, on the other side of the ship: Y’all ever done crack?

some xivu concept experiments, about embracing the pain

[greenelight]

this   isn't   the   first   time   they   found   themselves   like   this   ,   wrapped   around   each   other   in   a   forceful   ,   needy   display   ,   getting   out   whatever   it   is   they   needed   out   of   their   system.   ever   since   the   cruise   that   changed   everything   ,   they've   been   rather   awkward   about   the   status   of   their   ❛   relationship.   ❜   they're   not   publicly   out   to   anyone   ﹙ well , save for the people in their inner circle ﹚ or   together   really   by   any   means   ,   often   ignoring   or   bugging   the   hell   out   of   each   other   whenever   they   cross   each   other's   paths   at   parties   &   events.   tonight   is   a   night   mason   finds   himself   in   @eulogier's   place   &   being   kissed   to   damn   near   breathless   ,   barely   exchanging   any   words   the   moment   he   cross   the   threshold.   usually   it's   better   this   way   than   dealing   with   his stupid budding feelings   ,   but   something   is   clearly   off   here   &   maybe   for   once   ,   mason   doesn't   feel   like   entirely   ignoring   everything.

❝   slow   down   there   ,   tiger   ,   ❞   mason   mumbles   against   his   lips   ,   a   wheezy   laugh   leaving   him as hands press against his chest.   ❝   not   that   i   didn't   come   here   knowing   this   was   going   to   happen   ,   but   .   .   .   you   know   ,   maybe   a   ❛   hi   ❜   would   be   good   before   we   start   sucking   face   ?   clearly   you   got   something   on   your   mind   if   you   called   me   &   just   wanna   jump   to   .   .   .   this.   ❞   it's   his   gentle   way   of   saying   ❛   you   wanna   talk   ?   ❜   without   actually   saying   so.   if   he   did   ask   him   that   ,   he'd   probably   get   thrown   out   ,   so   he's   treading   lightly   as   best   he   can   ,   both   not   to   upset   him   &   also   because   maybe   .   .   .   maybe   he   wants   to   stay   with   him   tonight   ,   as   fucked   up   as   that   sounds.

Solusek Ro didn't ask for this.

also last post but. I dont know how to feel about the fact that the Books of Sorrow are canon in the world of destiny. like characters in the world can read them just like we can. and that’s cool, cause now we know exactly how much information the in-game characters have to work with

but at the same time, i dont know how to feel about the fact that all these people can read about Aurash, Xi Ro and Sathona. in my mind these characters are a tragedy, so it feels really weird to know that people like Zavala or Saladin would read those verses and just see “hive propaganda” :(

The Final Shapes zine (@finalityzine) releases today, and I'm very glad to finally reveal these pieces I made for it! I also helped run the thing, as well, so it's also a relief to have it out there for people to see.💚 The Worms

For life, Sathona dove. For vengeance, Xi Ro dove. And Aurash dove to understand. The needle ship pierced the skin of the world and burrowed deep. The Subjugators

In the end, I left them only a promise of sustenance, and in return, they became chattel for our greater purpose: absolute finality. And as I walked away, their fountainhead in tow, I could hear them whisper with respect: "Subjugator." The Gardener

The Garden grows in both directions. It grows into tomorrow and yesterday. What good is a garden's growth without thesis? What purpose lies hidden in the red flowers of forever?

Go check out the full PDF at @finalityzine!

I love all the little details that directly quote Books of Sorrow this season.

Eris in the cutscene last week:

All things must prove their right to exist. The rest will die in terror. There is neither escape nor exemption. Simple. Essential. Beautiful to know.

Books of Sorrow:

I’m glad I learned that the universe runs on death. It’s more beautiful to know.

Eris in her chat with Drifter:

Books of Sorrow:

I am war, and you have conjured me back with war. ... I am trickery, and you have conjured me back with trickery.

And this week, with all the mentions of the species they exterminated, but especially the Ammonites:

The "bait stars" goes back all the way to when they were still krill, from a life form (stormjoy) on the Fundament that Xivu (then Xi Ro) was proving herself against by cutting off the ends of the tentacles called "bait stars" from them:

A STORMJOY. A stormjoy is a living cloud. When it passes over our continent, it lowers its feeding tentacles. On each tentacle are the BAIT STARS. Although light makes you happy, you must avoid it. You will be eaten. A stormjoy is a good way for an old person to choose death. Also, a daring knight can cut the bait stars from the tentacles. I have six!

It seems this has turned into some sort of a saying in their language given what she said in the radio and also in Books of Sorrow later:

These are the bait stars the Sky uses to blind its slaves.

The story of how the Ammonite hero, Chroma-Admiral (called Rafriit) went to protect the Leviathan:

...is also in the Books of Sorrow:

The Leviathan has broken cover. The old priest is in open space, moving towards the Ammonite home moon. Chroma-Admiral Rafriit and his elite guard move with it. Rafriit is the hero of his generation, an Ammonite of peerless battlecraft. He’s danced circles around Xivu Arath… but now he has to protect his holy Leviathan.

This is, for the record, the Leviathan from the Fundament. Once the Worms were free, it fled to try and help the Ammonite, as well as still pleading with the Hive siblings to think about what they've done, and also ominously asking them to truly think "who made you monsters" and "who summoned the wave."

I'm sure there's more, especially in Sororicide lore book, and/or that there will be more. I feel like this is such a nice way to tell these old stories that many people have probably not have had the chance to read or even know about. It gives just enough details about some ancient wars to make you interested and maybe point you in the direction to ask someone about it or start looking for more and then stumbling on Books of Sorrow. Like a crash course about this ancient history-rich universe that awakens a sense of wonder and maybe interests you into reading some lore.

Unfortunately, Books of Sorrow have never been readable in the game (either of them), but I hope that stuff like this presented in the main storyline for everyone to hear will motivate people to look deeper into the lore. It's basically like a little teaser and I love it. For us who know, it's such an honor to finally hear this being narrated to us by those that committed these acts, and for those that are hearing it for the first time it should spark curiosity about these ancient tales and battles. I hope so at least! If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading the whole Books of Sorrow which are up on Ishtar in their entirety.

A thought I had while doing dishes, but who would be interested in a fic from Xivu Arath's POV? I think the little sibling potential would be fun to play with.

Happy's blog birthday🎈

Could i ask Wu chang with a fem hunter reader whose have two borzois that absolutely love them, the kind to come to disobey the reader in duos matchs and outside.

Sorry if it's hard ro understand and sorry for the bad inglish.

tysm and dont worry at all!! 💓 i love all of these specific requests lol </3

(also this is officially one of my fav wu official arts look at xies nails pleaje </3/3/4444)

wu chang w/ fem!hunter! reader who has borzois hcs☂️

xie loves dogs so so so much HHHHH the adrenaline rush he gets during the hunt disappears the second one (or both) of the puppers start running between his legs

he does find them a bit of a nuisance in duo hunters but he does his best to stay calm. he simply can't get mad at a dog okok plus it would upset you and that would upset him even more

at one point he just gives up at gently shooing them away and simply puts them under his arm(s) and carries them as he hunts. those are HIS dogs now and no you can't get them back until he whacks the mikan doctor that has been stalking him the entire match

wujiu is obviously a tad more grumpy but he also loves dogs, it's just that wujiu is a little bitch (lovingly) and is afraid of verbalizing anything that isn't a thinly veiled insult or a sarcastic remark at the very least

it takes him an unreal amount of self control to stay his usual grumpy self around the dogs because once they start licking his face and jumping all over him to the point he ends up on the floor he's going to fucking lose it and start laughing uncontrollably

when it's just him with them in duo hunters he does a double take to make sure no one is watching and then crouches down to pet and play with them both. plenty of "who's a good boy?!?!??!?" 's will be heard

Theory that I saw and hold as true: Yellow Church is Xi. He's just out in Sidewinder now doing whatever. He's the one needed to complete the Meta but was never found. He represents Desire (2 last traits were Love and Greed, this mixes both). Saw this on a YouTube account that also says the ship at the end of the S4 quest was meant to go to Chorus and that Locus is the Great Destroyer.

Oh, that's a good one! Also, very possible, considering Yellow Church existed in multiple ways (as a time-travel alternate Church, an incorrect memory in Caboose's mind, and then on the outside able to exist with everybody... briefly).

A friend of mine also has the theory of Yellow Church, or "Yurch", is the Fragment designated Pi (and we joked that some of the others would mis-pronounce that as "pee", because he's yellow... like PI-kachu. yeah, that's it), and he represents Apathy (since Yurch was just so DONE with everything, and barely had enough energy to get properly angry). I can't find my re-blogs of the posts my friend made right now (because search sucks), but if they're OK with it, I can @ them~

On the one hand, it is possible MANY more Fragments exist, even besides the ones we momentarily see listed within the series... but my theory is, if they were not yet "prepared" to be used as assistants for Freelancers, they weren't moved into their own individual units, and instead were kept "dormant", their data being stored with Epsilon (so, he actually has the memories of ALL the Fragments, even though he doesn't totally know that there is all this extra information to remember. later, this helps him recover/adjust a little easier, and also shows in how he can sort of do what Alpha WOULD have done, working together with all the Fragments as a system; even though some don't always visually show themselves or outwardly verbalize, they're still IN THERE)

I also had a brief and vague AU thought, that never really turned into anything, but still an interesting concept; at some point, after all the other shenanigans in the series, the Reds and Blues meet a new character who joins their group (no specifics for who they are, but I kinda leaned toward them being a girl, just to have a few more). Eventually, they discover this character is actually an AI in a synthetic human body (I've used that idea before, but in this regard, they aren't an almost-clone of the Director OR Allison, but a combination of both DNA samples that created a new person... so, genetically Carolina's sibling). The AI is RO, a missing Fragment from Alpha who represented Love. Like Church, Ro had some memory loss going on, so they others help them figure things out~
