a tribute to Them 💚🐍🌒

Transcript:

My Guardians, my Acolytes, my friends. How can I express all that may be said after everything we have achieved together? I will try. I must.

The Hellmouth did not end for me when I reached Luna's surface. It did not end at the death of Crota or the Taken King. It was relentless. I could not see beyond it. My nightmares persisted and I suffered their torments.

I thought that usefulness would save me, to endure despite all, to make meaning from my fear and isolation. But that did not save me.

That did not quiet my anguish.

It was you, guardians, you who have been by my side through my grief, my pain, my vengeance, and my joy, from the hatred of the Hive to the wonders of my throne.

For that, I am grateful, eternally.

So think now of love, the love between you and your ghost, the love between you and your fireteam, and the love I have for all of you.

Hold fast and it will never diminish.

Remember our time together and be glad.

🏔️An intimate moment between Eris Morn and The Drifter as they leave the world around them behind in favor of the one between them.

For @imonthemoonitsmadeofcheese’s fic "Steam and Snow" (Chapter 2).

The steaming pool they found themselves in had a partial ceiling up one side but the entire other side of the cave opened up completely. They were in an area facing a valley in a ring of mountaintops. The side of the mountain visible across the pool was far enough away that they could see it in its entirety. It was covered in larch trees for the bottom two thirds, and then the top was all rocks and snow. A small trickling waterfall spilled down the rocks into the hot water on the opposite side of the cave they came in from, splashing playfully into the steam, causing ripples in the moist mist that hovered above the surface. The sun glistened on the foaming water as the geothermal bubbles burbled up from below and snow fell lightly down, melting in the steam before it could land on them. It was breathtaking.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

yeah

Therefore… enjoy some more DriftEris Emoji’s!! Feel free to take and use if you like.

You have hibernation sickness 🥶

Saladin: For the last time Saint, I do not need to find someone like Osiris.

Saint-14: Nono. You remind me of Osiris. You would need someone like me!

Guardian: Ghost, can you silence Coms again? They are having that conversation again.

Ghost: He has a point though.

They reverted it but said they still want to fuck with how reblogs work.

Everyone already has a voice.

You know who doesn't? Algorithms. Automated accounts. Corporate interests.

Keep the content curation in the hands of the users. That's literally why we're here.

So much broken on Tumblr with the excuse of too few resources to fix it and they go and spend resources to "fix" something that isn't broken that nobody wants.

You can start by fixing whatever out of touch idiot is making these boneheaded decisions and put a sane person in charge.

Stop trying to turn Tumblr into something it's not. Fix the transphobia and bigotry that's enabled in how you handle your account reporting, adequately staff your abuse department with human employees, stop equating even mildly erotic art with porn, remove your genAI partnership bullshit, and for fucks sake fix the fucking search.
