Amongst Guardian and Ghost pairs, we are also an anomaly. Lore tabs and even Ghost himself have mentioned that normal Guardian-Ghost pairs have a very strong neural link that develops as their mastery of the light matures, where even if they can't read each other's thoughts it lets them feel each other's emotions. But Ghost has said that even with our link they never have any idea what we're thinking or feeling. This might also be a reference to the meta concept that other characters talk about where Destiny is a game and we as players are inscrutable paracausal outer entities to them.

I haven’t played Destiny since shortly after Forsaken, but I like to keep up with the lore of the game. This might be why it took me until like the very end of the video to realize this wasn’t actually from the game, but a fan creation. You’ve really nailed Bungie’s aesthetic here, and I think it would be absolutely phenomenal if you did a partnership with a lore channel like Byf or Myelin.

@Herobuilder21 11 ай бұрын

There's something I want to say but can't quite put into the right words, about this incredibly unique place this has as a piece of Destiny art right now. There's this overlap of completely individual artistic prowess, a love for the parts of destiny that reeled us all in, and the way we seem to feel about the game at current. I don't think anything else i've seen has touched on the feelings I've had about the game right now like this has. Even if you want to consider the bits and background lines lamenting about the state of destiny just some kind of shitposting, it's just.... this expression of creativity alongside it.... People doing essentially short video essays about Bungie's choices has never considered the artistic inspiration it's given me, like even though I haven't even played in weeks I still wonder how my guardian would be interacting with characters, and the old pieces of content that made me think that way- like Season of the Drifter. I will always fucking adore your work and someday I hope to try my own hand at something so cool. also what program do u use is it like drawings that you the load into a video editing program or do th

@majesticguardian 11 ай бұрын

It is good to know that I have inspired you to remember what Destiny can, and should be! I use photoshop and after effects for the drawings. I use Illustrator for the vector design stuff. I will do a tutorial eventually, but the drawings are parallax with ink transitions.

@majesticguardian 11 ай бұрын

I will forgive this insolence regarding Gambit, because you think I have written such good dialogue! These lines are from season of the Drifter, in the time of Forsaken! Those seasons were literally nothing like the HORRIBLE ones we have now. They actually had content. The fact that you did not even know of such wonderful content, is exactly why taking out content is so BAD. Equally as bad, is making content that is expected to leave, like the seasons we have now. ☹
