I've been engaging with destiny since 2018. it's hard to believe how long and short a time it's been! I've made so many friends who have shared my joys and sorrows, newer than me or having been there from the start. we may have met through such an ephemeral thing as a live-service game, but I hope these friendships will remain, endure and grow
everything I could say I've already said here in one place or another in the last few months... and years! aiat, the grief is ever-present and yet not new at all. reading destiny's lore and piecing together those glimmers of story was what inspired me for much of that time. even now, with creative passion feeling very far away, it's something I still love dearly, and intend to keep returning to
I have 35 posted destiny works on ao3 - and more unposted, floating around on tumblr or in discord conversations. this is not all of them (in fact I am fighting the urge to add even more to the list) but it's a rough tally of my favourites, loosely arranged by character or theme. fittingly, it starts with my first written fic, and ends on my most recent!
thanks for being here
Bait Stars: On one of the Fundament's nights, dark and thick as fear, Xi Ro revels in small victories.
the brightest of lures: The dead worm says, in its voice of danger: You can save yourself. You can save your sisters.
It says: You can survive this, but only if you listen.
prey-wisdom: There is much to envy about the Ammonite. And yet Taox fears.
a record of stars: Savathûn recalls a moment when she looked to the sky.
trust: “Long Thought,” his sister names him, her eyes seafire-bright. “As long as you see a path, we will clear the way for you.”
The siblings discuss plans before their return to the Osmium Court.
digestion: While the Hive pick at the carcass of a world, their gods search for new challenges.
eating the path: After he goes out into the Deep, Oryx only dreams of the Fundament once more.
verse xlvi (addendum): A parting of ways is not a simple thing, even for siblings who are now gods.
A record of what was given, what was kept, and what is remembered.
questions to ask at the bottom of the world: "Savathûn shields from dire truths."
Following his pledge of fealty, Nokris learns this firsthand.
of shadows and beacons: What lurks in the Moon's shadows as Osiris slays the Hive?
Almost nothing.
the truest proof of love: Xivu Arath goes to challenge her sister after her rampant heresy in Sol, and takes a risk in the aftermath.
the first chorister: A body is an instrument, and a song is a structure of will. By fractions Arok Enilu tunes them both.
salvage: A truth never spoken of: if there was to be a place where the sword logic was stretched and tested, it would be among the High Coven.
An acolyte trapped in her dying mother's throne world learns this in what should be her last moments.
Or: a Hive wizard does their job and goes recruiting.
(g)host stories: Basking in another victorious battle, Hive acolytes tell stories of their greatest enemies.
THE FIRST|FINAL WORM: "Here is what is taught to the Hive, from the basest of Thralls newly made: that what can be destroyed, must be destroyed. What cannot be destroyed will surpass infinity."
the taste of salt: The witch offers Lavinia what she wants most. Just like in the oldest stories, it comes with a high price to pay.
a conversation yet unfinished: Lavinia enters Savathûn's throne world looking for answers. It just so happens that the Witch-Queen is looking for them too.
downward reprise: Eriana-3 leads her fireteam into the Hellmouth - this time, on the pale wings of Ghosts.
remembering your own name: A Ghost and a Guardian question identity and purpose in the Dark Age.
the warlord and the chicken thief: A young thief makes an unfortunate choice in targets, and meets the local Risen. It's the longest night of her life, but perhaps not the worst.
approaching entelechy: Let us speak of the hunger of all growing things.
Or: Omen-5 is given the Seed of Silver Wings to deliver to another, and awakens it instead.
a-seeking we shall go: Omen helps a Guardian look for a dog in the most dangerous places on the moon.
the thinnest of strands: Meditations on the Traveler, the Light, and choices.
Or: how Omen-5 came to gather bones and corpses for the Last City.
I wanted to have art ready for today, something that would bear testimony to everything that this game has meant to me over the past 12 years: the world, the characters, the mystery, and the hope, and I struggled with the scale of the problem.
But I thought: what better vector to convey my love than these two? They would not exist if not for this game, I would have not been inspired to develop them as characters—likely I would not be creating art at all these days—if not for this game and the people I found there.

The art, music and storytelling of this game made me find the courage to get out of my comfort zone and aspire to be better at my craft. Without this community, I would not had gotten where I am now.
I have done so many pieces since 2019. Ever since, my artstyle has changed and evolved, just like myself as I grew alongside a wonderful community of artists, writers and musicians from this community who shared the same passion I did for the game.
Every single commission, meme, Art of the Week. Every single interaction I've had with this community will be something that I'll always treasure. Guardians make their own fate, but you absolutely made sure they don't have to do it alone.
Anyways folks I am so sorry for not adding all the pieces and commissions I've done for you throughout these years or not adding ALT text but I am struggling to see the screen right now 😭
told myself at first that i wasn't going to make anything, because it wont be goodbye for me, but as per usual i changed my mind lol
i've been cycling in and out of feeling sad and feeling okay a lot. today in particular is overwhelming. im thankful for my sillies who got me into this game (got me a duo of ocs that compel me a lot and a whole wife. i got a blorbo wife now) and for having put myself out there a little more to connect to different people, even though it's pretty late.
even last year i think this news would have been devastating to me, so i'm thankful for my growth since then too. i feel a lot more settled in with myself. for better or for worse d2 has been my go-to cope through a lot, including some extreme difficult times. there's a lot of love and appreciation for my experiences, as there will be moving forward. right now i feel it is a great privilege to see something you love to its 'end'. seeing your friend to the door, that type of stuff, but a little grander.
the fact that you can see my art style evolve through all the destiny 2 fanart i did over the past years speaks for how obsessed i was with this game- most of my friends that i still talk to daily i met there!! it's how i started out as an artist!!!
soo even tho i haven't played much at all in almost two years now, it still makes me emotional that it now just. ended. so here's an art spam ig :D
and now for some old analogue drawings bc i cannot stress enough what a death grip this game had on me:
(these are all from 2020 back when i didn't have any means to draw digitally btw. in case you were wondering why they are kinda stiff and not fun at all)

I finally learned how to color :) This is my farewell piece. Destiny has been there before I even decided to pick up art as a hobby. The Eliksni are, hands down, my favorite sci-fi alien race and they will be HARD to beat. Eramis in this Lucifer pose was something I wanted to do for years but I always felt like I wasnt good enough to do it justice. But, after the announcement, I learned waiting around for my skills to reach an imaginary level will cause opportunity to slip away. I wish I drew more while this game was still active but Ill take this lesson to heart.
As for the game, whats left to say? This game/franchise has been in my life for damn near half of it. I cant even articulate how this game has changed my life. My outlook on it. My perspective. Hell, even my morals and worldview. It deserved better. The devs deserved better. The artists deserved better. The composers, the playtesters, everyone who out their heart, soul, and love in this game deserved better. My hope for the future is that someone at Sony sees that too. See you guys on June 9th!!
I've had this sitting around in my WIP folder for ages, but the News™️ pushed me to finally finish it. I wanted to send Destiny off with something focused on Rasputin since he's one of my favorite characters of all time, and, well...
A theme of grief, of losing something so suddenly that the impact doesn't truly hit until it's already done, that seems pretty apt right now. I have a lot more thoughts on what Destiny means to me, but for this post, I'll keep it to that.
Reposting some of my old faves I've made in memory of today
Feels kinda dumb to be sad over a videogame ending of all things but man...I'm gonna let myself be. So many stories, memories, and friends made that'll still continue on even in the absense of updates
He'll be back, I know he will. But until then, farewell my friend.
I managed to put myself together for this moment, how? I'm not sure.
Everyone here saw me break down and cry for the past days. I'm still heartbroken, I'm not over it... it'll probably take me a long time to get over it. Destiny means so much for me and knowing its story ends like this is killing me.
I'm desperately holding onto hope and small news, trying to convince myself that it's not logical, that Sony will cave in and give us D3. I honestly feel delusional.
I won't stop making renders and drawings of this game, I'll keep playing around with my RP blog @ellis-the-lightguide and a future one I'm planning for Lady Crimson.
I'll stay here until my last days, all of you can be sure of this.
And to everyone who checked on me, thank you. You're all amazing people and I'm not sure how to repay your kindness, I hope for great thing to come to your lives because all of you deserve it. <3
With all that being said, thank you Bungie devs, fuck you Pete Parsons and see you starside.

I’ve drawn a lot of Destiny art in the past few years… but this one. This one remains my favorite piece. So much so that it’s framed and hung on my wall. It’s not the flashiest drawing—hell it’s not even my best work.
But every time I look at this one, I remember the moment I fell in love with these two idiots on that mountain top. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve replayed the Ascent mission. I have it practically memorized.
It is second only to Wildcard as being my favorite D2 mission of all time.
So for today, for June 9th, I am honoring this piece. I am honoring two characters who have held my broken pieces together over the last two years. Who guided me through my grief, and taught me how to forge myself into something new.
I love you Cayde and Crow. I wish I could tell you that. I wish I could tell you what that small time in the Pale Heart meant to me.
All I can do is say that I will never forget it, that no matter what happens now I’m going to recall Cayde’s words at the end of The Final Shape.
Time well spent.. Here’s to the future, our imagination and creativity will keep us going! With love to the entire Destiny community, thanks guys, for everything.
