i feel like in general we focus a lot on the dangers of people having influence online and how they can hurt people, but not enough on how many lives they also have the power to improve and make a meaningful difference to. technoblade made such a meaningful, important difference to my life, and i'm sure i speak for a lot of people when i say that. i'm glad to have been a small part of the community that made some to his, as he said in his own words in his goodbye message.
On the Eve of Lightfall, here we go guardians!
So, my fireteam was joking around in the voice chat tonight, and someone brought up the concept of The Night Before Christmas, but as The Night Before Lightfall. I kept chewing on the idea as we were doing our activities this evening, and so the following poem was born:
The Night Before Lightfall
'Twas the night before Lightfall and all through the Tower,
The Guardians awaited a big shift in Power,
Their armor was hung up by Ada with care,
And knowledge the Black Fleet quite soon would be there.
The Ghosts were all nestled so snug with their Risen,
In hopes that the Traveler would survive this new schism.
And Zavala in his armor and Shaxx with his horn,
With Rasputin gone, we all are forlorn.
When far out in space there arose such a clatter,
The Vanguard assembled to see what was the matter.
Away to the hangar we dashed with all haste,
As fast as we could, there was no time to waste.
The moon with its Hauntings still fills us with dread,
With The Witness approaching, we can’t get ahead,
When what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But Osiris’s visions to keep us from fear.
With a brand new location, so neon and new,
We knew in an instant it was not all through.
And it sparked and glowed and was all filled with Strand,
And a safe place (for the moment) for us to land.
On Hunters! On Warlocks! On Titans so strong!
With Void! And with Solar! Arc, Stasis along!
To the top of the building! And to The Arcade!
With little Strand buddies the Warlocks have made!
As starlight before the nova ignites,
The Guardians readied for their respective fights.
So to the far reaches of space they flew out,
With their ships full of weapons, and hearts oh so stout.
And then in a twinkling a new class appeared,
All lovely and green and full of ads cleared.
To travel the rooftops and swing thru the world,
And cute little Strand cats with whiskers all curled.
But out in the distance The Witness still waits,
With the Darkness and Pyramids- the Black Fleet that they’ve Shaped.
We all are in danger of Collapse 2.0,
And even The Traveler has nowhere to go.
We spring to our ships, our Fireteams ready,
Our armor enhanced and our trigger fingers steady.
And so we all say, in the face of this threat,
“Eyes up, Guardian. It’s not over yet.”
Missed some days but here’s day 2, which was newest OC.
This is Tempest, a animus Skywing. She’s part of a big AU thing I have for WOF
Day 5, color. Here’s a newish DND character, she has no name yet though. She’s part of a homebrew race I’m workin on.
3rd was blood! Gotta show the fair lady some love this Spooky Month
I’m reading a fanfic and it got me chewing on the bars of my enclosure
(Image description: four images with pastel backgrounds in shades of peach, lavender, light blue, and pale pink; each image has the words "lesbian day of visibility 2020" in a bold italics font, the 5 stripe orange and pink lesbian pride flag is visible inside the letters).
April 26th is Lesbian Day of Visibility 🏳️🌈
Here’s day 28, ghost!
This is Briar, the ghost-like pilot of the Starship Nova! She’s a wild card, taking risks many would call insane but always pulling it off. She’s bound to the mortal realm by her cursed jacket. She’s Camille’s girlfriend.
(Her shirt is a little messed up, it’s supposed to be a dark purple)
reblog if the first musical you listened to was not Hamilton
Been reading more into the BNHA tags and I’m truly disappointed in this fandom.
People need to stop pretending that bad things happening to you(big or small) or having a mental disorder, excuses literal murder. Stop making Dabi seem like a tragic hero because Endeavor is an abusive asshole who’s being forgiven too easily. Dabi is the one who decided to kill people/doesn’t care who dies on his path to get revenge. Stop pretending all abuse victims are sad pushovers that can do nothing wrong.
People need to stop pretending it’s all Dabi’s fault. These people need to stop pretending that all abuse victims look and behave the same, Dabi is doing this shit because he believes it as the best/only option, not because he’s being a baby about his trauma. Stop blaming abuse victims.
In conclusion, Dabi is a deep and introspective character and y’all need to stop reducing him to a single, one-dimensional quality, either he’s done nothing wrong or he’s done everything wrong. His character goes deeper than that, he’s a product of his environment and he’s lashing out against said environment because the person who abused and traumatized him is getting away with it, the system is set up so certain people will always fail and certain people wil always win. Dabi as a character is a commentary of that.
