ALSO A PRO IF YOU PLAY WITH ME FOR ANY OF THE RAIDS/DUNGEONS YOU GET A FREE LORE DROP WITH EVERY PLAY

I'm a "new light", technically speaking, I joined at the end of Lightfall, so I've been around for... I think 2 years. A friend introduced me to this game back then and I fell IN LOVE with it. The universe, the characters, heck even the gameplay was cool, and I normally hate shooter games! Needless to say I devoured a lot of lore books, even set to make a coherent wiki of them in my language (only managed to make the Witness and Rhulk's ones in the end, lol), and wrote some fanfictions and funny stories too.

Me and my friend eventually met other two people to play with, my little disaster fireteam who accompanied me for my, like, 500+ hours of game. The three of them are all veterans, so you can imagine their reaction when the announcement came. And the thing is... I felt at a crossroad. Of course I was sad, but I truly felt like I wasn't "allowed" to mourn. To be fair, clearly my own feelings were different from theirs, but, you know, they felt... wrong, in a way.

Then I thought about it – after also sharing these same feelings with my friends – and I realized that maybe I haven't been there for 10 years, I've lost god knows how much content, but I still played, I've spent HOURS and DAYS on it, read the lore, tried raid and dungeons, cried or laughed at cutscenes and dialogues. Heck, I've also made my own Guardian's lore (and my friends joined in with theirs), lore that I'm still working on and updating. So, yea, sure, I was not there day 1, but the time I spent there – that I'm still spending – means something. No matter how much some people try to say it doesn't.

So, this little post was for all of those who are in my same situation, and to them I say: we're all valid fans of the game (it's just sad that we have to reiterate that). I'm sure there have already been made similar posts, but I wanted to give my own spin on it.

Thanks to all for reading, have a little fanart of my guardian Artemis – in civilian clothes because like hell I'm drawing armor – and her ghost Hermes (please don't mind the fact that they're thinking about taking out one of the Nine, it's fine):

it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.

who up vaulting they glass!!!

Using my knowledge of the lore and story to fill in the gaps has been fun, but it’s also highlighted just how much I wish more of the seasonal stories stuck around.

It’s hard to explain that you’re just going to run into Crow during the Final Shape campaign or while listening to the dialogue in a Battleground. It’s harder to explain that Cayde wasn’t only in Destiny 1 and that the flashback mission was a flashback to an expansion you can no longer play. There’s not much that can be done now, but I do so wish there were a way to experience this saga from start to finish. Because it’s a lovely set of stories.
