A little about a lot - A lot about a little

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

NLL is a narrative, high(er) effort comic series; following the story of a Praxic Warlock and a rogue Lightless Hunter after a Second Collapse.

It's a tribute to the world I love.

Pilot (1/2)

The Last City has been breached by a paracausal force, the monument of humanity shattered. The Praxic scholar is sure the Nine is involved, somehow. To reach Old Chicago, he'll have to earn alliance in the unwilling.

New episodes coming soon.

Pilot (2/2)

A Ghost looking for a Guardian. Not just any Guardian. Her Guardian.

Bonus character sheet. I am legit so nervous about this bc I've never really put out non-joke D2 OCs in front of y'all and I hope y'all like them, or at least enjoy the comics, or both! I'm going to hide now.

Imperial Snapchat. Admiral Piett is currently leading the contest.

Anakin hindbrain: *chanting* SELFIE SELFIE SELFIE SELFIE-

Vader: …ugh, fine.

Boba: lol cool, I’m gonna use the cat ears feature!

This is the world capitalists want to return to.

The sound of your curious hum has Sylus’ ears perking up in interest.

“What is it?” he asks in a low murmur, peering at you over the top of his reading glasses. There’s a novel caught in his grasp - The Count of Monte Cristo, one of his favourites. He watches you pause at the foot of the bed, engrossed in your phone, using two fingers to zoom in and out of something on the screen. You tilt your head to the side, scrutinising the image, and hum again. 

“Sylus?”

His lip twitches, tempted to tease you about not hearing him. “Yes, sweetie?”

“What do you know about EonCore Tech?”

Sylus’ eyebrows arch up with intrigue. He sets his book down in his lap and removes his glasses, red eyes smouldering as you glance up at him.

“Are you asking as a Hunter or as my girlfriend?” You pat his legs, signalling for him to make room before you take a seat on the edge of the bed. 

“Hunter,” you admit. “I’ve been assigned to investigate the incident from last week.”

Ps. You have to be following me to be accepted ❤️

Send asap as I'll be drawing tonight 😄😄

In pretty much every game I’ve ever played that has a revive/respawn mechanic, it’s never explained as to how it works. Which isn’t really that big of a deal to me; it’s a game mechanic that allows you to keep playing the game, case closed.

And then you have Destiny. Get gunned down by a Cabal turret? Your Ghost will have you up in a hot second. Did another Guardian fire a rocket a bit to close to themselves? Go interact with their Ghost to rez them. Did you finally kill that bastard camping an ammo spawn in Trials? Better make sure their teammates can’t get to their Ghost, or they’ll be back up doming you from halfway across the map in seconds.

Except your Ghost is more than just a flying respawn machine. He can hack stuff, mark things on your tracker/radar thingy, oh and he’s an entire character with a personality who reflects the personality of your Guardian, who barely speaks.

The nonverbal communication and interactions in cutscenes between the two are fuckin immaculate. The way Ghost tilts the parts of his shell to express emotions - annoyance, shock, excitement, curiosity… and your Guardian reacts to him usually with a glance or a look, like… idk they just kinda get each other.

But while he is your Ghost, he’s not YOUR Ghost. By which I mean, Ghost is his own, independent character. He’s not a reflection of you or anyone else, and that’s made clear when his opinions and thoughts don’t align with the actions of you as the Guardian. In a lore thing from Forsaken I believe? there is a list of things he wishes he could say to you. One of those things is how he sees that you’re going on a rampage through the Tangled Shore, and justified by the death of Cayde-6 as it may be, he doesn’t like it; it scares him. But he still loves you - that’s also on the list, and even during Beyond Light we see this when he continues to stay by our side even as we start wielding the Darkness in the form of Stasis.

That’s not to say he can’t be vengeful himself. In the lead up to the final boss battle with Savathun during the Witch Queen campaign, Savathun taunts you and your Ghost. This isn’t anything new - bosses taunt you before and during boss fights all the time in Destiny campaigns - and usually you react by wiping the floor with them, without a word in response. Except this time, Ghost is PISSED, essentially says “how fucking dare you, you killed my friends”, lists a bunch of shit the Hive have done to humanity (most of which you personally have been affected by as a combatant against the Hive), and ends off by telling her that he would rather die than serve the Hive.

Speaking of the Witch Queen, we also get to see that Ghost isn’t perfect; he absolutely despises other Ghosts who joined the Hive, and makes that abundantly clear. He’s also extremely suspicious of Fynch, the Hive Ghost who helps you out in the Throne World. Ghost is kind of an ass to Fynch, because to him, the Ghosts who joined the Hive under Savathun betrayed the Traveller and humanity. But when he realizes that most of the Hive Ghosts like Fynch were coerced into helping the Hive in their search for their Guardians, he outright APOLOGIZES to Fynch. It’s actually a pretty cool moment in the story, and it shows like… yeah, he’s capable of making mistakes, but he’s also capable of at least trying to fix them.

I won't say that this is on purpose or anything silly like that. :3

But it is easy to make an account and you don't even have to put in your discord account. You can use a separate email.

No need to say much. You can type as much as you want so long as you say "Don't put kind of age verification or I will cancel my Nitro, please." The subject line can be anything about Discord like Age Verification, Nitro, Subscription, Help, Account. Just official stuff. This is to ensure that they don't filter out their emails and ignore them. It helps if you genuinely have additional complaints unrelated to the age thing.

Go ahead and cancel your subscriptions if you have no reply for a week. Force their hand.

The thing is to overwhelm with numbers, a severe drop in sales that are CLEARLY related to your complaints (you can send an extra email right after you cancelled that says "hey I canceled my subscription. You didn't help me when I asked for it."), and make them panic.

Corporations are spineless. Remember how there was a severe drop in Pride Merch when conservatives got out of hand? Remember that they are only doing this because of other companies bending their backs over for governments that hasn't even implemented any laws yet? Just saying that they will?

Working at Harvard in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s as a “Computer”, Annie Jump Cannon cataloged stars using their spectra from photographic plates, in an effort to understand the mysteries and peculiarities of stellar spectra.

This was hard, detailed, nuanced work. By 1889, three years into her work, she had classified over 1,000 stars. By 1913, she could classify 200 stars an hour. She could classify three stars a minute, just by sight. Using a magnifying glass, she could classify stars down to 9th magnitude, 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. And she did this all with exceptional accuracy.

Over the course of her career, she personally classified more than 350,000 stars, accounting for a mind-boggling 98% of all contemporary stellar spectra classifications, a feat that wouldn’t be bested until the 1990’s with automated digital sky surveys.

Cannon used these classifications to develop the Harvard spectral classification system (O–B–A–F–G–K–M), organizing stars by surface temperature and physical properties.

It is hard to overstate just how foundational her work was to modern astronomy and astrophysics. Her classifications have enabled more than a century of breakthroughs in stellar structure and evolution, including the understanding of how stars change over time and how temperature, luminosity, and composition are related. The system underpins the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram, one of the most important tools in astrophysics, and remains embedded in modern research, from stellar population studies to galaxy evolution.
