thinking about the way Destiny shows obsession.
we have so many examples of it in the lore. Clovis Bray, Eramis, Calus, now Maya Sundaresh, and earleir even Osiris. The Osmium siblings, too. All of them dipping into the darkness in search of salvation and immortality, and dooming themselves. Like a monkey’s paw.
Here, have your immortality, but to your senses it will be perverted and dangerous, and the Traveler will reclaim it anyway if it can. Have your salvation in the shape of revenge, but it won’t matter, because you are just a pawn. Have your riches and loyalty, but it will not matter, because looking back at you are empty husks.
And then they all, or almost all, die. And everyone else is left to fix it, but maybe they can’t.
Not only is it about obsession, it’s about the way it directly affects the people around said people. Exos, other Eliksni, the Cabal, now the whole of Neomuni and more. It’s like rolling waves, far into the future.
And even more so, that salvation and immortality and favour they are looking for is also everything the Traveler grants. But also as a monkey’s paw with… maybe possibly better outcomes? Not sure.
IDK, but it’s interesting to me how much Destiny puts these types of characters on the forefront of storytelling, and it IS very compelling. Listening to Chioma Esi’s logs put a lot of things into perspective imo.
why is it when I don’t have any wips, I get every wip tag in existence, but when I do have wips, it’s crickets 😂😂
/blows off a cassette hand-labeled "headcanon Tali" and slams it into the tape deck
if the boy quarians at least get to have those cool bundles of cables coming out of the backs of their helmets, surely the girl quarians have something similar under the hoods they wear. The way I draw Tali and her people might be stubbornly different from canon in some ways, but I can believe it's not too far off.
