Zavala - Tumblr Posts
Yes, Ikora x Zavala is such an underrated ship! If you want to post more about them, I'm all for it
Oh my gosh! I though I was the only one who ever liked it. This is awesome!
And honestly I really want to do more stuff for them, but I never thought anyone would want to see it. But thank you for telling me.
And my good news for this is, I have some drawings, writings, and ideas I was never going to post with them, but now I will. So thank you again
And also if anyone has any prompts or suggestions for writing or drawing for the them, or even ideas or headcanons, I’d love to be able to hear and maybe do them. I would really like to see this ship get built, even if we are small.
Thank you anon. I know this might sounds like an over reaction but, you don’t understand how nice it was to read those words this morning.
Aight, so no lie this is one of the most beautiful and cinematic parallels I have ever come across in a game (And I don’t think it was even intentional)


I can’t even properly explain this(if anyone has a better explanation, please add) but the way Ikora looks at the darkness(the pyramid) and Zavala looks at the light(the Traveler) is just stunning, for lack of a better term.
Like Ikora looks to what we have to attack while Zavala looks to what we have to protect
Also getting real tired of all the hate she and Zavala get. They’re good characters but they never got elaborated on because Cayde was always there. And yeah it sucks he’s gone and stuff but at least now we get to see other characters get used
Ikora rey needs more love.
Indeed. Honestly I’m pretty sure she’s in stage 15 depression, so any love we send her way is good
It’s been an honor serving with you, Rest In Peace commander.

Rest in Peace, Commander….

Ok so i posted about my titan male. This is my baby boy ( or one of them) please say hello to
Shane!
Yes my friends this is shane a 20 to 30 somthin who was woken up before the eventa of 1 and 2! Shanes ghost is called shep. Short for sheppered. He says he called her that because she lead him to the glory of the travler. Reality he just liked the name it just felt right ya know. Anyway little information about my boy, he is a normal hunter with an abnormal shedual. Regularly his day (before his fire team) was simple
1) wake up at dawn and meditate
2) finish when the shops open and go to the bakery to buy the freshest food they had (normaly doghnuts he loves sweets)
3) check in woth the vanguard mainly Ikora Rey whom he sees as more of a mentor to zevala. He believes they complament eachother a yin yang thing.
4) go out and do missions, patroles of cruible ( he loves it a "friendly" sport as it were)
5) get back and take Cayde out to dinner (no he didnt love cayde. But he respected the hunter and his ideas)
6) around dusk sit and warch the sun set over the last city before bed. It calmed him after his day
His life changed after crota and oryx awoke. See during the start of d1 shane and another guardian a worlock exo named Bishop-13 were assighned to collect a lost guardian this was all before the scars on shanes face.
That story ill tell seppretly after i post the other two but for now lets just say huge fight fallen attacked shane defended and he lost an eye. Shep was furious at the new guardian and bishop well he was in disrepare.
Some distinct facts about shane inlcude
Sexuality: Gay suge. And yed he does have a thing for big strong men (*cough* spider*cough* zavala)
High: have to say about as tall as Lord Shaxx. Maybe a little smaller he is a large boy
Hobbies: knitting, sewing, reading, and story telling. You put this boy infront of kids and he is telling them kid friendly virsions of his travles from fighting in toxic waters to narly losing himelf on a planet.
So i donno what else to put um like i said shane is the first of his fire team named "Iron wolfs" and thats because the three of them love the iorn banner events. If there is something you wanna know dont be arlfraid to ask


@fox-fic-and-ink suggested the dialog. <3 Suiting with the expression I think!

my contribution to the @written-in-light fanzine!
i love Zav a lot…….
AAAAAA SKDGHFOSEIFNHSOEFJBHAKLJUGHASKDAL THIS IS PERFECT. This is beautiful, I cry.
Vanguard Reunion
A fluffy, polyamorous Vanguard moment for @zephynight who won one of the drabbles for 12 Days of Destiny. Rated pg for kisses and cuddles? lol

Zavala is... an interesting character, to say the least...
He’d have to be an Arc Titan because of the weird rule-of-three thing the Vanguard does, right? Awoken Arc Titan, Human Void Warlock, Exo Solar Hunter.
Now here’s where things get even more interesting:
In the EDZ bunker mission, he uses the Void Titan banner shield ability thingy
In the vanilla campaign, he repeatedly uses Void Titan Bubbles when the tower falls
BUT:
In the Season of Worth trailer, he uses an Arc Striker ability against the Cabal on the Almighty
Zav also used Arc abilities in his story trailer
There are “holograms” of Zav using a Solar hammer in the Dark Forest of D2’s Red War campaign
Now, I’m a Solar Gunslinger. I’ve never played a Titan before, so I’m not entirely familiar with their abilities, but this is intriguing from a story standpoint.
Sure, Ikora is a fucking badass and has used both Voidwalker and Stormcaller abilities, and Cayde did stuff from all 3 Solar trees in that Last Stand cutscene, but they’re both specialists in their elements and are rarely shown multiclassing.
Saint is a Void Titan- That’s all but confirmed. However, as someone kindly pointed out in the notes, he has used Arc abilities before in the comics.
Now that I think about it, we’ve only seen a few Vanguard members, current or otherwise, not using abilities other than those of their element.
Idk about Andal or Tallulah, but as far as I know, Andal was a Solar Hunter... and Tallulah gives me Solar vibes from the entry I’ve read (The Bombardiers exotic leggies for Hunters)
In Conclusion? I’m wrong. A lot. And while the Vanguard may have the rule of three going on, their members aren’t all restricting themselves to their main element, which is awesome.
Update 2:
Thank y’all in the notes for informing me about Ikora and Zav in the forest and trailers! Sorry that I didn’t know about those...
Updated about Saint using Arc abilities
I’ve revised the post accordingly
Update 3:
Osiris uses all three Warlock Supers in the Immolant pages (which *I think* came out a few months after this original post). Removed note about him only using Solar.
Caliban-8 also mainly used Solar. Updated bc Caliban’s Hand exotic
Why isn't anyone talking about these hanging in Zavala's office?

According to Destiny lore he's not a Solar Titan and he's hated by the Sunbreakers, so why does he even have these in his office? The shield makes sense since he is a Void Titan but these two don't make sense.
YW: but mom told me to hang out with my friends one last time before the end!
Zavala: Guardian! The Black Fleet is approaching! We need to deploy everyone to space and defend The Traveler and The Last City ASAP!
Young Wolf, not looking away from their phone: Relax, we’ve got plenty of time, 5 days at least.
Zavala: What the hell are you talking about?!
Young Wolf: Stuff that important only happens on Tuesdays for some fucking reason.
Ooh....


Gotta fish up those vexish, Big Blue
Guardian, opening a communication line to Zavala while fishing: Hey Zavala?
Zavala, finally having his lunch break: What is it, guardian?
Guardian, nor giving any indication: You know that there are actual fish in the vex milk, right?
Zavala: what?
Guardian, continuing: yes, organic life in the Vex milk, Vex fish or Vexish if you will.
Zavala, confused even more: I'm sorry. Why are you fishing in the vex milk?
Guardian, audibly shrugging: I was curious what I would find.
Season of the Deep in a nutshell. Osiris working hard and everyone else just partying Sloane was told this is a major operation to make her show up, but it's really Drifter throwing a drinking party.

My impression of Season of the Deep
Last week I read the lore where Zavala watches the Young Wolf tithing to Eris and thinking about Elsie's worries about Eris and the YW. I immediately thought of Elsie finding Bubo and getting into a fight with Bubo over this. Stasis shards forming around where Elsie grabbed Bubo. Bubo just letting Elsie have it because Bubo knows Elsie doesn't want to kill her, just get out her pent up frustrations about their current plans. And then Bungie's like, "nah, that happens to Ikora instead."
But yeah, I'm glad we got some Elsie lore this season. Eris and the Young Wolf are definitely walking a fine line between becoming corrupted and achieving our goal of stopping the Witness. We haven't experienced this the endless amount of times Elsie has, and you can really see her frustrations and concerns. She just wants things to work this time and not have to go through another timeline.





Rites of Passage page 2! Oh boy. Elsie is so clearly beyond traumatised in a way that really can't be helped in this situation. It's understandable for sure. I also love how Ikora stands by Eris here and defends her, even as she has doubts herself.



The Crafting Mystery
(yes, this is a parody — and yes this is the second time I make a parody of the same scene that is printed in my brain at this point)

It's definitely them
