"Really? Did Ya Hear The One About Some Eala Chick? The Blue Bunny Startled A Stormcaller From Behind

Hey, let's look at their modern descendants shall we? Birds...

The owl, crow, and vulture are all far, far, far smaller and yet each of these feathered fiends are still considered harbingers of death and ill tidings.

Two kinds of people:

People who took the news of feathered dinosaurs like this:

And those who took it like this:

Had to repost it! Just too good! I can just imagine all of the worst case scenarios from this! Can you imagine this with an outgoing hunter like Cayde6!

On Earning the Favor of Hunters: Do’s and Don’ts

DO:

1) Compliment their cloak

In the wild, Hunters often bond via social grooming; well-timed flattery can encourage an otherwise antisocial hunter to engage. As they tend to perform better when confident, this is also a useful battlefield tactic.

2) Pick up the tab

Hunter social dynamics are built upon a complex system of favor-trading, posturing, and outright lies and bribery. The gesture of paying for a bar tab is a good way to ingrain yourself with the “Pack.”

TIP: lay ground rules early and be wary of semantic traps before offering, otherwise you may find yourself with empty pockets. For example, say “Your next drink is on me, if you order the same thing you just had within the next thirty seconds” vs. “Drinks are on me.”

3) Encourage healthy competition

Hunters are often motivated by the opportunity to show up Warlocks. If there is a Hunter on your fireteam, suggest low-stake wagers or other competitions to instill in your Hunter the desire to act. Otherwise, they may be reluctant to engage in group activities or patrols, and can become less inclined to socialize in the future. In extreme cases, a poorly-socialized Hunter can grow sulky and lazy. Intentionally losing on occasion will inspire your Hunter to double down on their attempts to outdo your successes.

DON’T:

1) Express outright disbelief

Asking for a story is an excellent way to ingratiate yourself with a Hunter, and most story-tellers respect healthy skepticism about their tall tales, as this gives them an opportunity for further posturing. Be wary, however, of outright disbelief. Responses are unpredictable, and range wildly between Hunters: back-slapping good humor is relatively common, but so is immediate violence and the occasional mating proposition. 

2) Offer anything for free

Favors and verbal bartering, while a necessary element of Hunter interaction, must be granted judiciously. It should be made clear that, even if you do not expect immediate repayment in kind, you do expect the favor to be returned. For example, taking on a part of a Hunter’s workload without establishing that you expect to be recompensed somehow, at some point in the future (remember to clarify terms as you deem necessary), is a good way to both lose the respect of your Hunter and encourage bad behavior. Remember: you must work hard early on to instill good habits in your Hunter.

3) Make a promise without knowing what you’re promising

On a similar note, never accept a verbal contract before you are completely certain what your Hunter is requesting of you. For example, on the subject of favors, the proper response to a Hunter asking if you will “Do [them] a favor” is not “Yes.” It is: “What did you have in mind?”

It is important to stay vigilant: even such throwaway terms as “Sure, I’ll help” can be construed as binding. Breaking a promise carries a serious stigma in Hunter society, and is a good way to find yourself ostracized or worse.

4) Insult their knives

This will end poorly.

Late Night Poetry

(Gosh I need to lay off staying up late XD)

She was a weird concoction.

Strange from the day she was born

The discipline of Martial Arts,

married with the free sound of a swing horn.

A mess held together only by gumption.

And that’s okay

The Dawn of the most Dysfunctional Fireteam Ever

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the birds were letting forth their serenade. A curious hunter was walking to a lesser trafficked part of the tower to investigate a poster he saw in the main entrance. Ok, lesser trafficed was an understatement. It was almost deserted when Xur didn’t visit! He saw a titan standing next to a statue where they were supposed to meet.

(Hunter) Hey, I saw your poster. “Titan in need of a fire teaaa…” What in the world is HE doing here?

(Warlock) Hey! I’m doing the same as you, you idiotic dull-blade!

(Hunter) WHAT DID YOU JUST STAY BLANKET BACK!

(Warlock) I SAID I’M DOING THE SAME A-(Stranger) ENOUGH!

A lovely female titan walks out of the nearby bar.

(Stranger Titan) You boys can save that for the enemy. Now, as long as you two won’t break anything, come in and let’s discuss the upcoming raid.

The two smitten men stared at the retreating beauty before glancing back to the other titan by the statue. The lonely striker only shrugged his shoulders as they glared at each other and proceeded into the bar…

{Hope you enjoy my little spark of inspiration! I know it’s not the greatest, but it’s mine and I’m proud. Cya later fellow guardians!}

You do you fellow puncher. If you like being one punch man, then so be it! And if they judge you, punch them.

Titan Mom!!! A punch titan needs help!!! I've gotten to the point where my fists are the best of weapons I can use... literally... I'm finding myself killing things with melee faster than with exotic weaponry... do i just go help people out or... ;-;

I’d say always help people out! But more importantly, man if you’ve found what works best for you, or at least something that works really well, definitely use it! Use that punch!!

Storytime, if you don’t mind. I was playing with my clanmmates once and as a striker Titan I was doing my usual shoulder charge dealio, but one of the guys thought heeeee was better. SO I challenged him to a no-gun-run match, we were doing Iron Banner. Supers, shoulder charge, melee, grenade only, no guns, don’t even pull the trigger. I won it in the end, but moral is if you’re good at punching, KEEP PUNCHING.

Sometimes I do no gun-run-strikes now, for funsises! Recommend them if you wanna try. and to make things even better, pick up Insurmountable Skullfort, getcha that double melee!

Punch things! Have fun! Good luck!

I'M A SUNBREAKER NOW!

Not too long ago I finally got the destiny collectors edition! Just got sunbreaker today and I love it! It's gonna be my main subclass now! So long fists o havoc. Ill miss ya a little
