It’s not known and will remain unknown until we know more about some of them (and Eris).
The earliest big event in Eris’ life as a Guardian is participation in the Ahamkara Hunt, but there’s no information about who was Hunter Vanguard at the time or when exactly it happened. We also don’t know if she was rezed immediately before that or long before that.
It could honestly be any of them before Andal Brask.

Hiya! Little break from the bird grandpas and the toxic yuri: I am here to ask about Jaren Ward and Shin Malphur.
I wanted to ask, how come Jaren's Ghost went to Shin instead of raising Jaren? Seems very odd to just abandon your perfectly good Guardian and become his son's surrogate Ghost.
Actually, how is that even possible? How can a Ghost heal and revive a Guardian who isn't their own????
I'm so confused... (´。_。`)
Jaren’s Ghost went to Shin because Jaren got killed by Thorn which unfortunately makes it impossible to get him back up. Thorn (the original Thorn from Dredgen Yor) was capable of taking the Light away because it was a weapon infused by Hive magic and Darkness, essentially. So after begin shot and killed by Dredgen Yor, Jaren was very much not perfectly fine; he experienced a final death.
We’re not entirely sure how (if?) a Ghost can just pick another person. A lot about Shin is super unique so he’s hard to use as an example. Shin already had a Ghost before, as he died and was rezed as a baby, but his original Ghost died which allowed Shin to continue growing up and living normally without knowing. But Jaren’s Ghost noticed that he’d been touched by Light before and eventually just returned to Shin after Jaren died. Jaren’s Ghost was spared on purpose by Dredgen Yor to motivate Shin to come after him as revenge. I have a lot of links to stuff to read about Shin in this post.
We genuinely don’t know if Shin and Jaren’s Ghost function as a usual Guardian-Ghost duo. Obviously Shin can use the Light (as he’s famous for his Golden Gun), but that might be because he’s had it before and is clearly compatible with it. Other than that, it’s very much unknown how they work together. I remember years ago there were some hints on reddit from the writer that Jaren’s Ghost doesn’t work exactly the same as a Ghost would normally. Someone might possibly have links to that somewhere, but since none of this is really in any official lore, we don’t truly know how any of it works.

I’m pretty sure the baby in confessions of hope wasn’t Shin Malphur “When I found them, many nights before, I also found renewed purpose. I had traveled these dead and dying worlds for longer than I cared to remember, all the while in search of a spark worthy of ignition.Over time I'd grown weary, but in this small band of survivors, I found hope. If I couldn't find a lost soul worthy to be touched by the Light” implying it had yet to find a guardian so therefore it couldn’t have been Jaren’sbud
Oh, Shin had two Ghosts and neither of them are “his” Ghost.
The Ghost that rezed him as a baby was just some random Ghost that took pity on a family that lost a child, but that Ghost also later died to save the family.
Jaren’s Ghost is a completely different one. Jaren found Shin as a kid in a village and both Jaren and his Ghost sensed something in the kid so Jaren eventually took him under his wing and acted like his father. When Jaren died chasing Dredgen Yor, Yor deliberately left Jaren’s Ghost alive (as well as leaving the Last Word) so that it will go back to Shin and edge Shin on to continue hunting him. Jaren’s Ghost then gave Light to Shin and it’s been his Ghost ever since.
Some people wonder if he can be healed and rezed, since it’s not his Ghost, but I think he can. It would be quite an accomplishment if Shin never died or even gotten seriously injured in the hundreds of years he’s been chasing Yor and doing weird shit with Dredgens.
It’s funny to think about it, but somewhere out there is actual Shin’s Ghost looking for a Guardian, wondering why they can’t find them. Meanwhile Shin is freeloading with other people’s Ghosts.
Also (I’m on the phone and finding sources on the phone is hell) the writer for that lore page in Ghost stories is the same writer who writes Shin and said that was deliberately done to give us Shin’s origins. If someone can find that and drop the source, it would be great.
You cant be homophobic and play Destiny its like the most gay game ever.
theres the straight up confirmed Gays:
Osiris and Saint are together (possibly married?) own a house together and this whole season has a subplot out Saint looking for his Partner.
Devrim HAS A HUSBAND CALLED MARC. Gay EDZ husbands ftw. THEY RAISED HAWTHORNE TOGETHER TOO.
and then theres Probable Queers:
Highly Likely Drifter is Pansexual. Look at him.
Eris Morn And Ana Bray are most likely Sapphics.
And then theres the Fandom Queers:
Andal and Cayde- Were they even alive at the same time? idk anything about Andal but the fandom seems to LOVE him and Cayde.
Shaxx and Fellwinter is a given and suprised bungie hasnt mentioned they straight up dated at some point.
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.
Anonymous asked:
Is it canon that Andal was a nightstalker? I love it but don't remember seeing anything that said so.
It’s not canon. We have no clue which subclass Andal favoured. People are HCing him as such because we really have nothing to go with here, but any other HC would be equally valid.

I NEED Destiny 2 worm edition now.
Hey these 2 characters you grew to know for the past 6 years? Well they're gay. Even though none of the lore hinted at it or out right said it. Like what?
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.
It’s such a shame that tumblr at large just have written off destiny, especially after final shape.
Because this site would fucking love how the Sun just rizzes up some guy (and partially fails)
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!
Look. I understand the Fortnite/Destiny 2 partnership. It’s batshit, it’s funny, and honestly the Destiny armour actually looks sick (Especially the Hunter armour), BUT WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH IS CAYDE-6 NOT A FORTNIGHT SKIN?!?!
EVEN ON A CAPITALISM SCALE IT’S DUMB! You could have literally got every Hunter main, every Cayde lover, pretty much every D2 and D1 player to buy a skin. You give us ANY Cayde content and we’re going to lap that shit up like we’re a dying man in the desert and it’s a glass of water. This is the community that got TIME TRAVEL involved. We were theorizing FOUR YEARS LATER about how we could bring this ONE character back. I’m pretty sure if we had an in-game choice between bringing Cayde-6 back or saving the entire universe we would bring Cayde back.
But instead we got the FUCKING Exo Stranger.
Tl;dr, Bungie and Fortnite are fools for not putting a Cayde-6 skin into this collaboration.
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.
