*casually realizes that Tevis is the one we get our Void abilities from*

You’ve activated my Tevis loving hours. Thanks, I’m crying.

Here’s more about the canon LGBT+ characters and couples! There’s a lot more confirmed ones. Bungie isn’t holding back with this.

And yes, Ana is in a happy relationship with a woman called Camrin Dumuzi. They have a kiss in the comic!

There are also interesting parallels between O14 content and some content between Ikora and Eris.

Also yes, Andal and Cayde were alive at the same time. They were best friends basically and ran in a fireteam together (with some other Hunters too, including Shiro-4). When Andal got killed, Cayde really never fully recovered from that loss. Cayde’s cloak that he wore in game originally belonged to Andal. There’s not much information about whether they had any romantic involvement, but it’s Destiny! It’s possible.

Cayde also canonicaly enjoyed reading trashy romance novels, some of which featured gay characters. So he could reasonably be bi/pan.

I don’t know which lore you’ve been reading, but you’ve clearly not read any about Saint and Osiris because we’ve been knew for years that there’s implied romance between them. And the writer confirmed that it was there and planned since the start.

If you have to say that you you have nothing against gay people, then you probably do have something against them. I’d do some soul-searching of I were you.

They’re not suddenly gay, they’ve been gay all this time. Reading comprehension and understanding subtlety and subtext in literature are all acquired skills so you can learn this for any future endeavours in trying to understand the written word and media as a whole. There’s plenty of resources online where you can begin your journey into learning how to understand literature.

I hope this helps.

Oh we’re very much still here and enjoying Destiny! Including the Sun rizzing up a guy, and devs putting up our memes at the panel during GCX this year!

The Fortnite partnership is an event designed to get people who play Fortnite interested in Destiny (and the other way around). It’s a promotion for Destiny in Fortnite.

It makes no sense to promote Destiny with a character that players coming to Destiny will never meet in the game. People seeing Destiny stuff in Fortnite will be interested in trying Destiny out and having a skin based on a dead character would be confusing. The point is to get a wider audience interested in Destiny and promote it with currently existing and relevant characters so that when they jump from Fortnite to Destiny, they can recognise the characters.

Elsie was a huge face of entire Beyond Light campaign and is very likely going to be further relevant going forward. She is also actually a time travelling robot that jumps between dimensions so if anyone has a lore reason to be in Fortnite, it’s her. Elsie is far more important for the current story of Destiny.

But lore aside, it does truly boil down to capitalism. They want people to get attached to Fortnite skins and then move to Destiny and be able to recognise the characters they saw in Fortnite. Nobody who plays Fortnite knows who is Cayde and the number of Destiny players thinking Cayde is the most important character ever is at an all time low.

Promotions like this only work if players can actually get invested in the currently relevant characters. Cayde is not. He died 4 years ago and nobody coming to Destiny from Fortnite has any sort of an attachment to him. And a vast majority of Destiny players don’t really care about him anymore. Elsie is also an equally beloved character that has been with us since D1 launch and is actually still alive so people who come to Destiny 2 will be able to meet her.

I’ve seen this line of thinking repeat a lot so I wanted to address it once and for all.
