"A gentle blossom graces the waves with her regal presence."

i main Yareli and i was a little let down by the lack of customization she has in the game currently, so i made this quick design for a "what-if" deluxe skin for her. centered around the peach blossom theme as well as being heavily influenced by the look of the Filipiniana (traditional Filipino dress) and its respective textile patterns.

The radioactive levels of misogyny have been present with regards to Lotus since 2013, and it was... an experience to watch it play out in real time. At first, it was largely imperceptible. Just people complaining about having an "annoying" (re: female) mission director. But the moment Apostasy: Prologue happened, it was like they smelled blood in the water. They finally had ''proof''— ''justification''— for their baseless hatred of Lotus (despite the fact that it was pretty clear that she had not left entirely of her own free will).

Even before then in Natah, the quest where Lotus explicitly declares that she *was* Natah, Hunhow's daughter, until she "destroyed" that part of her and chose to become the Lotus, ''the Mother'', to the children she couldn't bear to kill, people were using the fact that she wasn't human as justification to hate and distrust her, despite the narrative never producing anything concrete to back this distrust up, until Apostasy: Prologue (and even then, it was clear some form of manipulation by Ballas was at play in this prologue). In fact, people were saying things like Lotus can't be trusted *because* she chose compassion over completing her original mission, and the fact the Tenno are still alive is proof she isn't fit to lead. HELLO?????

But from Apostasy: Prologue, it all went downhill. If you were saying things like:

''I don't think Lotus chose to leave on her own accord. I think Ballas did something to her, maybe under the false belief that she was Archimedean Margulis. Maybe she secretly is, I don't know. But on the slim chance that she did leave willingly, what if it was to protect us. He is an Orokin Executor after all, and the first time he makes an in-game appearance, he displays some sort of Void ability. Who knows what he's capable of. Why is it that you guys gave Teshin all the grace in the world when he was working under the command of the Twin Queens, but Lotus is immediately deemed a traitor who needs to die by your blade for being abducted??''

you were in the minority.

And then The Sacrifice happened. And is was SO over. By that point, there were like 17 Lotus defenders left. The majority of the fan base was actually, excitedly, waiting for the opportunity to take out the Sentients and to kill Lotus with them. No amount of arguing that ''The Jovian Concord (monologue), Operation: Orphix Venom (hidden message), and Erra (cinematic) only make narrative sense if Lotus is being brainwashed'' was going to get through to them. Because for far too many, it was never about whether Lotus was actually on our side or not. It was never about where her loyalties and allegiance lied. And despite what so many said, it wasn't about her betrayal (because it wasn't a betrayal, and it was clear by this point that she was being used. she even called out for help!). All of it was just a thinly-veiled excuse for them to finally be able to say, "tbh I never liked that we had a female mission commander. And I hope we get to kill her for her betrayal and that we get someone new like Teshin. I'd even take Ordis, as annoying as he is," out loud. (I wish I were making this example up and I wish I had only seen it said once or twice)

So when The New War happens, and there is no confrontation with Lotus, only the confirmation that Lotus was indeed being manipulated and used as a scapegoat, only for Ballas to steal the last of her life force and consign her to the Void, MANY people felt cheated. Because they'd convinced themselves (and allowed themselves to be convinced by Chimera: Prologue) that Lotus was the villain despite all the evidence to the contrary. They went in to the quest expecting a no holds barred fight with Lotus that would end in her death as best case scenario, with the option to kill or spare her via the alignment choice system being the 'most likely outcome'.

And so, countless forum threads were made complaining about how Lotus wasn't the big bad who could be killed (ignoring that she *was* killed. this was a HUGE part of the quest. she died and nearly withered away into incorporeal non-existence before the first shard stabilized her). The actual complaint, of course, was that *they* didn't get to kill her. Lotus didn't deserve this treatment. Even when there was doubt as to where her story was going, she was never afforded the grace that other characters got. Her narrative was often just outright ignored, because ''all that matters is that she betrayed me, and no one betrays me and lives''.

We're past that era now i think, but it was demonstrably not a fun time to be a Lotus fan in. But in the end, we were right! And space mom is back home and safe

WOW. alright. Something something disappointed but not surprised, I can pretend to be astonished here but I'm not. Fandom misogyny knows no fuckin bounds and being a lesbian with no interest in male characters just makes this fact extremely apparent.

Man, so this is why the Lotus tags are so unpopulated. When I finished the story quests looking for fanart/fanfic, through naive lenses I was like "this game was released in 2013 right? And Lotus is so important, she's mission commander, she's driving the story, she's a cute space mom... That's so cool. There's gotta be good Lotus content everywhere! ^_^"

But nah. Fandom misogyny. The love goes to the men, while the female characters are neglected. Never shown grace, given the most bad faith interpretations possible, filtered down to shallow one-dimensional personalities... It's just a fandom staple.

So. Knowing that the Lotus is a main character who is here to stay, and knowing that her voice actor Rebecca Ford is currently Warframe's CREATIVE DIRECTOR (that role is not a small thing like hoooly shit)... It's kind of a justice, right? A heartwarming kind of justice, not really a tale of grabbing disbelievers by the neck and wringing them out, but more of simply standing proud. Standing for what you believe in, the story you want to tell, and not buckling to the backlash you undoubtedly will encounter.

It's just mind-blowing, honestly. The Lotus as a character is meaningful not just within her game's vacuum, but in such a meta sense as well. As someone who started being involved in the gaming community during the time when Max Caulfield was considered a revolutionary female protagonist, I think it's insane that we have the Lotus.

What the Lotus stands for easily skyrockets her into the "most important female characters in gaming" hall of fame. She is incredible.

In Memoriam of DataReaper

Many players of Warframe know of Clem, the Grineer outcast many players adopt as a friend in game. Just as many players are likely familiar with the Kronen, a tonfa-style weapon whose Prime version is popular to use. Both are the creation of the individual known as DataReaper, who even has a profile here on tumblr, @datareaperver1 .

Recently, this beloved community member passed away. In an act of remembrance, the game developers erected a shrine to their memory, stationed behind where Clem can be found.

For those who play, take a moment to pay respects to this Tenno, whose memorial is found at Iron Wake. And for those who are not, go and peruse some of their illustrations. They can be quite amusing and lift one’s spirits.

May the stars welcome you with open arms, Tenno.
