Hey y'all! If you're new here and have no idea what's going on, I'm Terra and I'm catching up on the story of Destiny before The Final Shape's release.
ALSO, I was so excited for the Witch Queen that I recorded all of the main campaign in one 10 hour sitting. (So if I seem a bit fried by the end of it, that would be why. 😅)

Also also, many have asked for my Dynasty reaction and I regret to inform that I did not record it, I just watched it casually in the morning while getting ready for this recording!
Hope you enjoy the video!

That parasite quest is actually a pretty important side quest. But im so glad youve finished the witch queen.

So fun fact, in some of the supplemental lore that came out in the accompanying season, multiple ghosts were overcame by a strange urge to scan hive for compatibility and/or resurrect them, Glint included. To me, this reads as the Traveler subconsciously influencing the Ghosts to resurrect them or at least making them an available option. Which also explains why Fynch said he thought he was doing the Traveler’s will when he resurrected Ken (that is his Knight’s canon name, I believe.)

EDIT: I also think that the Traveler did willingly go to Savathûn’s throne world. We know it’s terrified and tired of all the death and destruction it’s wrought and just wants to be done with the conflict, so I believe it actually wanted her to seal it away. But I could be wrong since we have no real insight into its motives here.

“Enough Death, Enough Life” the witness is such a dope villain

"Why did it wait so long?" There was lore that came out in the lastest season that revealed that very question. Its fantastic!

Thats Savathuns greatest trick, she wasnt lying to us. She was trying to protect the traveler, and she was listening to the travelers will. The Traveler was not an illusion, it was willing to go to Savathun for protection. Its why it made her a guardian and never once tried to stop her. Last time someone tried to take the traveler it fought back

4:50 the moment that this became a "kid walks in on parents arguing" moment.

Something to keep in mind going forward is that the light is a power based around creation and the darknesss is based around consciousness. This is why things like deepsight are linked to darkness and even stasis requires you to think in a certain way in order to use it

that was a great use of Deep Stone Lullaby on the wipe montage of the final fight. I felt that . That never ending determination.

I don’t think I I’ve been this excited to watch a series in a while. Videos like these always help remind me how good Destiny is at times despite its sometimes downfalls. Thank you for that, and I can’t wait to see your reactions to the raid and post campaign content next!

The only Baseline was her right hand Wizard who told her the very basic plan so Savathun could remember what she had. Savathun did plan this out beforehand and her Wizard helped to guide her

The fact that the Cataclysm was most likely the dark fleet's doing has been a theory for a while, considering the Black fleet has been known to use gravitational weapons as a main attack. Also the Worm Familiar memory revealed why the Traveler was okay blessing Savathun with the light: It was going to a long time ago, but couldn't because of the worms.

Her learning about how she got swindled by the Witness was such a moment but ngl my first thought was "she sounds so hot when she's mad" 😅

Also my headcanon is that the Witness has such a high collar because they have a weak chin and they're insecure about it.

You should definitely get some people to get you through the raid (Vow of the Disciple) before getting into seasonal stuff.

I feel like you're reactions to that raid's lore and other stuff would be amazing 😂😂

Realizing Savathun shared an actress with Cir from Fallen Order felt like my world was upside down 😅. Debra Wilson is incredible.

When ghost tales about oryx and osiris in the last mission there are more lines, if you played d1 it mentions crota and the great disaster and if you played destiny 2 from before, it mentions the awoken, the dreaming city and i think those are all, its a very cool detail

Ah, I can’t wait to see your reaction to this expansion’s raid! This should be very interesting.

Its nice to see u have a good understanding of the Witness & Darkness. The Witness has essentially a hold over the Darkness like a monopoly, the Light & Dark arent opposing forces but the Witness has made it seem like that, & it has enforced the idea that itself & Darkness are inseparable/the same (which you found out they arent exactly the same thanks to Beyond Light), & it is the source of the Darkness's corruption/negatives (also that room full of planets/moons contain the ones it took during Season of Arrivals plus other stuff it has conquered, if u also go back to the Shadowkeep ending scene with your doppleganger, u can see it do the same hand gesture the Witness does)

Dont worry. The Witness will be explained not long after Lightfall. And trust me it is extremely vital in the Final Shape. I would actually really recommend reacting to the Vow of the Disciple Raid dialogue because it is in heavy association to the Witness and is extremely important for understanding its goals before Lightfall. I would recommend lore vidoes on the Boss for the raid. It won't disappoint

Seeing a new comer witnessing all of this is really heart warming. Hope you enjoy my friend.
