You fool! You doomed yourself! Because I love Uldren more than myself and can talk about him for hours! <3 Anyway, thank you for asking about my favorite boy!

Favorite thing(s) about them

How loyal and caring he is. I adore his devotion to his sister, I just hate that his sister happened to be such an asshole who manipulated him his whole life 😔 I love his humor and his smile a lot. Also his red pants! This man is gay af. And let’s not forget that fact that his compassion alone + ahamkara’s magic made Fikrul into an immortal demi-god.

“He triages the Archon's wounds. Mortal. The victim is shaking now, trembling under Uldren's hands. He wants so badly to do something, anything, to ease the poor soldier's passing. To have the power some say his sister had, to save just by proximity—

Does he wish it? Does he wish to save this poor thing?

He does! He does!

His eyes burn with sympathetic tears as he works to bind the Archon's wounds. His hands are quick and gentle, and he weeps with the strength of his hatred for the Guardians that did this. As tears stain the Archon's wounds, the Ether roiling through Uldren's fingers slowly grows heavier, darker, more noxious. He does not notice.”

Least favorite thing about them

How dependent on Mara he has become in the end that he stopped being his own person.

Favorite line

“It no longer matters if he doesn’t know what to do or if he’s doing the right thing. What matters is that he wants. If he wants to find Mara and save her, if he wants to do the right thing fiercely enough, if his intentions are good and powerful, he will find the way; he just has to believe in himself. No more paralyzing analysis, no more painful regrets — he has to go forward without doubt.”

Pulled Pork! Also, I believe that Uldren and Jolyon were a couple at some point, I still like them as friends.

My Guardian. Before he died he was hopelessly in love with his prince, but didn’t believe that he had a chance. Uldren knew though (spymaster, remember?) and cared about him in his own way. Two idiots never said anything until it was too late. After he died, Uldren hated that the Traveler took someone he cared about again and turned them into that light-infused husk. That’s why he was such a bitch when they first met. But then Wayden had no other option but to mercy kill Uldren despite feeling that something was wrong. Despite not wanting to do it, even if he wanted to avenge his mentor. Would Cayde really want him to do it? Some part of him wanted... to reach out and help instead. To do something — anything — to stop this madness. To listen to his Ghost and stop fighting for once. But we all know how it ended: he had a gun and one bullet left...

...but then Pulled Pork said "Fuck this sad shit, guys, go kiss each other already” and made everything better 💖💕💖

Petra? She’s like a little sister he never wanted. I never saw anything with Mara AND I DON’T WANT TO. Also anyone who isn’t my Guardian, lol.

Random headcanon(s)

He plays with his knife when he’s nervous. Allergic to cats. Still pets them. Hates the Dreaming City, so he tries to spend as little time there as possible. Not really a headcanon, because I believe that it’s canon: Jolyon remembers his every stupid idea and tells other Crows, but 10 times more exaggerated. Uldren dragged him to ambush a fallen skiff? Oh, there was also a dragon and a cabal concubine in a pink dress dancing on the table!

Unpopular opinion(s)

Uldren deserves to be chosen by the Traveler. He deserves another chance as a new person, free of his past. He was kind, brave, selfless and devoted. His madness wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t even in contol of his life for many years because Mara has planned everything for everyone... Until The Traveled said ‘Lol, nope’ and messed with her plans.

Also, he had reasons to dislike Guardians, Cayde in particular. Nothing excuse a murder, but you can’t expect every single person in the galaxy to like you or share your belief. Some people won’t like you no matter how good you are and how many gods you slayed. Uldren, not liking or trusting Guardians is a good example of it. He was kind to his friends and his people. He didn’t have to be to us.

Song I associate with them

Go to the Light (Murder by Death) is an expected answer probably, but there’s no better song for him 💔

Favorite picture of them

Have you ever seen a more beautiful depressed homeless man in your life? (gif made by me)

Oh, I'm tired of dreaming I'm no one I need some body next to mine
