The Eater of Worlds raid is 10x funnier when you realize you didn’t even go there to fix Calus’ “engine problem” or any other discernible reason you just show up at his house and start beating the shit out of his men until he’s like “Hey since you’re here you wanna kill this giant Vex Mind that’s clogging my ship?” and ur like “sure” and the only reason your dumb ass survived was because he likes you enough to save you and honestly? Doesn’t get more Destiny than that.
every destiny raid is fueled by luck and recklessness
Vault of Glass: your ass only lives because kabr made the aegis back when he died
Crotas End: you only live because crota happened to have a sword collection (tbh id have a sword collection too if i could)
Kings Fall: you only live because oryx left his food laying around so you could throw it at him
Wrath of the Machine: you only get to the boss because the splicers left a goddamned death machine right next to the front door
Leviathan: you dont even kill calus, you kill some rats and his roomba
Eater of Worlds: “hurr good thing I love you OR YOUD BE DEAD”
So, we all know the importance of a hunter’s cloak. Each Hunter’s cloak has a meaning, a story behind it. It’s a key part of a hunter’s identity.
And this got me wondering.
In Shakespearean English (particularly in Romeo and Juliet) there was the whole thumb biting thing. We probably are all aware of the “I bite my thumb at thee” thing.
I can imagine some of the older Hunters or Hunter’s that learn of this incorporating it into modern (by Modern I mean with regards to the Destiny universe) times.
This develops into a thing of pulling or tugging at one’s cloak. It’s not literally pulling a hunters cloak, but more of a metaphorical thing, just like how the phrase “I bite my thumb at thee” didn’t involve actual thumb biting.
I can see the phrase “Do you pull at my cloak?” or some variant of that being brought into mainstream hunter vocabulary as a way of asking someone if they said something insulting. For example:
Hunter 1: *says something rude about Hunter 2* Hunter 2: Are you pulling at my cloak? Hunter 1: Me? I would never pull at a cloth like that.
I can also see calling or referring to a cloak as a cloth as an insulting term in hunter lingo. Partially because it is disrespectful to pretty much what the cloak means to its owner, and partially because I feel it would be like a hunter comparing a cloak to a Titan’s butt towel.
But yes, I can imagine some of the more dramatic hunters using the variants of the “Do you pull at my cloak” and then it becoming a mainstream hunter thing to say when someone talks shit about them.
