Jolyon Till The Rachis - Tumblr Posts
what are your favorite destiny pairings and why
First of all, first anon submission ever. This is great.
Secondly, hope this doesn’t sway anyone from following me, it’s just my preferences, and every ship on this blog will get respect(unless it deals in pedophillia, abuse, incest, or beastiality)
And thirdly they are rare pairs within the community, but it goes:
1.) Lord Shaxx and Lady Efrideet(Shaxxideet I belive): That line from the Titan Sunbreaker quest where Shaxx goes, “I miss those days, I miss… Lady Efrideet” after talking about how she threw Saladin like a javelin into a fallen walker is what got my first interest in it. Then I just started starting thinking about what he said and got to thinking about how he could’ve just stopped at “I miss those days” but he purposely said “I miss Lady Efrideet” so that truly got me invested in it. Now I just think it’s cute because I imagine Efrideet is kind of small(?) and Shaxx is this big ol’ titan and I just think it’s sweet.
2.) Jolyon Till and Uldren Sov: This got started because of the Uldren lore book and reading the Black Garden stuff, and how it sounds like even though Uldren pushed Jolyon away for his obsession to impress his sister, it sounds like Jolyon still cared for him deeply. Also the whole thing where Jolyon brought him in and Uldren didn’t recognize him, but called him handsome when describing him, and I’m not sure if that is common but it’s pretty cute if you think about it.
3.) Ikora and Zavala(My ultra rare pair): This one got started way back in D1 and mostly grew due to all interactions between the two, and a real life example that echoed the two. Honestly too the whole mom and dad thing that kind of orbits around them also grabbed my attention
Hopefully that answers your question
Fav characters?
(I’m assuming you want favorite Destiny characters. If this is not the case, just hit me with another ask.)
1. Osiris. It took me a long time to warm up to him, but once I did he jumped to the spot of my favorite Destiny character. I respect his ideas and how he wanted to know more about our enemies even though he became obsessed and got exiled for it. I also liked how in Season of the Dawn, it showed us more to him than that grumpy uncle and I really enjoyed how happy he was when he found out that there was a way to bring back Saint. Best grumpy uncle ever for me. I do wish they would have treated him better in his DLC especially after there was kind of a legend around him back in D1. Like dead*ss, Osiris is regarded as one of the most powerful guardians ever and we rarely got to see him.
2. Variks. He crept in and stole my heart right off the bat. When playing House of Wolves back in D1, I thought he sounded so cool and when I found out Dee Bradley Baker voiced him, I liked him even more. Also what made me like him even more was reading his lorebook in D2. This dude had to endure years of insults directed at him by Awoken, Humans, and guardians alike, yet he never seemed to hesitate to help. Hell, he tried to warn us about the Red Legion and was became upset that he wasn’t able to get the message through. Plus he is trying his best to unite the Eliksni again, despite seeing the majority of his people fall into madness. Now I don’t excuse what he did, but he was being influenced by the Fanatic the same way Uldren was. Overall, I think he is really cool and I am glad he’s coming back, hopefully, we don’t have to kill him though.
3. Zavala and Ikora. These two share the spot as I find both of them amazing characters and I wish Bungie would have used them more instead of relying on Cayde for everything. I admire how strong they have been through literally everything at this point and honestly, they both deserve all the love in the world. They are the strongest leaders I have seen from any game and they deserve so much respect. They also are great mom and dad type characters, because even though they fight, they still can come together to help and assist us and the people. We respect Ikora and Zavala in this house, and if you don’t that’s really not cool ngl.
4. Jolyon Till the Rachis. So he is not in-game, he has only ever appeared or been mentioned in lore, but still, he has become a big favorite of mine. So if you don’t know, he is the creator of the Lord of Wolves, one of his pastimes is taking enemy weapons and remaking them into something to be used by Awoken and guardians. He also has been through so much sh*t at this point yet still remains strong to lead the Crows in Uldren’s absence. He went to the Balck Garden for his best friend(or lover depending on how you see them) and came back with massive trauma from it, including scary *ss nightmares, but he never let that stop him from assisting the Awoken people. He had to watch said best friend(or lover) descend into madness. Then went Uldren went off the deep end, he had to go fetch him and realize that Uldren didn’t even remember him, or any of their time together. This man is so cool and I wish he would show up in-game and hopefully, he makes an appearance or something when Guardian Uldren shows up.
These are the main favs and hopefully, none of them end up dead.
Hey where did you find that lore on Jolyon? I also think he’s a pretty interesting character but I can’t seem to find much lore on him
The majority comes from Uldren’s lorebook:
The Length of the Chain | Part 1 (This is the start of the Garden
The Length of the Chain | Part II
At the Gate | Part I
At the Gate | Part II
Through the Gate
In the Garden
On the Hunt (This is the end of the Garden)
Jolyon (This is the lore piece where Jolyon tries to talk with Uldren about the nightmares of the garden)
Free | Part II (This is the one where they are bringing Uldren in, and Uldren is describing Jolyon, but beyond that, he fails to recognize him)
The Lord of Wolves thing came from the Lord of Wolves Grimoire card from D1
The Supremacy Sniper that I believe you get from the Last Wish raid also features Jolyon and Petra. It deals with Jolyon’s feelings after Uldren’s death
These are all the pieces that mention Jolyon. If you need it, I can link some of the pieces because I know some are a bit difficult to find since Jolyon is such a small character
Hopefully, that helps, and thank you very much for the ask! Have a good day
Oh shoot thank you for adding those!
I have yet to read the holdfast lore but that also hopefully means Jolyon will get mentioned more and maybe make an in game appearance
