I was interviewed recently by This Week In Video Games.

I started this project during Forsaken. I was inspired by @silentwalker.bsky.social's work. At the time there were only a few lore books, but as expansions came, more and more were added.

"Thank you for walking with me all these years." youtu.be/TyUzUuzlPmY

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. You made the universe of Destiny accessible. I spent so many evenings for years and years with dozens of tabs open, unravelling the mysteries within the pages. I'm glad Ishtar Collective is staying up. If ever it needs support, please let me know.

I wrote a blog post based on recent events. It’s titled “Irrational Hope.” errata.ishtar-collective.net/irrational-h...

Bad juju: modern slang for bad vibes, negative energy, or an omen of bad luck. While used casually today to describe an unsettling atmosphere or a cursed object, the expression has deep historical and spiritual roots.

Does anyone else think it’s crazy that there's this world of lore, that millions of people fell in love with, and characters in it like Osiris, Saint-14, Eris, the Drifter, Savathun, Xivu Arath… …and somehow that world was mishandled by executives in a way that made the game shut down?

Thank you @ishtar-collective.net and Destiny Lore Vault for keeping it archived for us.

I had this cursed idea in my head, and it haunted me so much I ended up having to draw it. Sorry, @marathonteam.bungie.net.

i don't even know these nerds, but they're right. ive been denying this part of myself

@andysalisbury.com hello sir 👋 we'd love to talk to someone about the Marathon API and cataloging lore. Would you be the person?

In light of recent... let's say "disturbances in my vibe," I need help. Precisely, I need your perspectives on what Clarity does for *you* that isn't already well-served by the Compendium or other major community resources. The more responses, the better. And don't do hypotheticals, please.

Ishtar lore bot can you please answer if Caiatl can crush skulls with her biceps

Yay! I've deployed the first version of our official Ishtar Collective lore bot for Discord! I'd love people to try it out and hit me up with feedback/bugs. Install it here: discord.com/oauth2/autho... And then read your favourite Destiny lore with `/ishtar lookup`! ⚪️

Late to discovering that this year's April fools from @ishtar-collective.net is that the text on the lore entries slowly moves up and down. I legit thought I was just getting tired from reading screens... Then I literally put my finger up to the screen to check. New levels of subtle trolling.

Please excuse us, we're moving some things around on the site.

Every year on April 1st, we at the Ishtar Collective have tried to do something fun. This year I had very big plans, but for a number of reasons, many of them of my own making, they never came to fruition. I’m very proud of the thing we built, and maybe one day I’ll share it, but not today.

Help my art find its target audience (🥺 and old mutuals from other platforms)

If Bungie doesn't make a line of breakfast cereal called Tomb Flakes, we riot.

This is foundational Ishtar Collective Discord lore.

Onomastics: the study of names, including their origins, meanings, and cultural significance, covering personal names, place names, and other proper nouns. Alethonym: ('true name') is the proper name of the object in question, the object of onomastic study.

We must remember the value of unshakable, irrational hope. The choice to act as if we lived in a better world can create a place for that better world to exist. www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/trus...

Hellooo! Here's a Bluesky D2 starter pack I created for newcomers if you're interested: go.bsky.app/SDzBuzz

I’m going to look at automating posting to Bluesky for the @ishtar-collective.net account. Any recommended Ruby libraries for Bluesky/at protocol? Reading the docs it doesn’t sound too bad to format the request, but if someone has done the hard work, even better 😉
