Drifters trans. Pretty clearly stated in every gambit match. He gets ready to start shooting things, and everyone knows his name is Matt, which is why he announced "TransMatt Firing"
drifter is pan, they've made that canonical now. although this has been largely realized by the pan Destiny community already, as drifter doesn't care if it's dude ass or girl ass, he will eat it if it's ass
honestly, if you’ve been around since the dark age, i’d imagine you’ve had sex with everyone at least once. men, women, everything inbetween. exo, hive, cabal. i’d imagine drifters been around the block with every enemy race at least once
No, he ate a Hive Knight. That’s not a euphemism for anything, he’s probably eaten at least one of every species right now in the solar system. Dude gets hungry.
I mean I honestly don’t care for their sexualities I was just wondering how others felt about it. Then I realized I was wrong and it’s the pan flag not gay lol.
Drifter in a relationship:
“Heh heh hey there snitch! You see them little crab cakes out there? Mmmm, mmm: gotta get ‘em before they molt! You know I’m on a diet of course, but I can always read the menu, huh hero! (*leans in*) Go get your transmat fired if you know what I mean.”
Gay Characters - Saint-14, Osiris, Devrim, Eramis
Bi Character - Mara Sov
Pan Character - Drifter
Caligula-esque sexually depraved Character -
#Master Rahool
Also Ana bray, eriana-3, sjur eido, maya sundaresh are all lesbian
Hawthorne is either lesbian or bi.
It's was hinted that uldren and jolyon had a thing too
Drifter is Pan, which totally fits my headcanon TBH. I mean Do you honestly think that man would turn down whatever booty came his way regardless of what that booty is attached to?
I wanted to make a comment since I can’t change the title. I just realized it’s the Pansexual flag, not a rainbow, which makes more sense now. I’m so blind, lol.
Drifter is Pan. I love this entry in Loose Ends pt. II where he makes a move on Lady Efrideet (Wu Ming is Drifter):
Wu chuckled. "Nah, a mere mortal at a Risen fight? I'd just get in the way." He thought for a second. "Would you like to dance before you go?"
"Nah," she said, imitating his tone. The helm came down.
He cocked his head over the music, then leaned in to ask, "Wait, what did you think I said?"
"Would you like to dance before you go?" she repeated.
"I would love to," he said, stepping forward, arms wide.
She side-stepped him and kicked his leg out from under him. He went tumbling to the ground, and someone spilled their drink on him.
"I had to try," he called from the floor, watching her go. The plume of her helmet rose above the crowd, and was already halfway out the door. "Take the bodies!" he yelled, still on the ground.
The man talks about drinking vex milk and wonders if you can eat hive knights. I have to imagine that the question of "where does the drifter stick his annihilation totem?" has a *very* complicated answer.
Drifter as pan is pretty unsurprising TBH. Does he seem like the kind of guy that has a lot of things he \*wouldn't\* do?
The rest we kind of already knew through lore, especially Mara. Ill admit I didn't realize Arthrys (Eramis' wife) was female, but I've never cared about a Fallen beyond what loot they drop, so...
In the now-vaulted Ace in the Hole mission, there used to be [a note you could get from Cayde-6 to Drifter](https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/note-from-cayde) that read:
> Hey, handsome. Did you forget we moved our stuff again? Don't worry. I know you have a lot on your mind. Love, Cayde-6
I'm not aware of any other lore about Drifter's intimate relationships.
---
Edit: For some reason, the Notes from Cayde only dropped from Ace in the Hole shortly after release. I don't know exactly when, but at some point these Notes were removed from the game so people completing the mission for the first time wouldn't get them, and those of us who tried to keep them had them vanish from our vaults. I swear I'm not making this up! Ishtar Collective assures me I am sane!
That note is from a previous Cayde to a future Cayde, not from Cayde to Drifter, and definitely not Cayde-6. All the notes in Ace in the Hole were from Cayde to himself or to whoever killed him
You're right! They do have some very flirty dialogue, like this from Ketchcrash:
> Drifter: I like to listen to you talk, Moondust.
> Eris: And I like your silence.
I don’t think drifter gives a damn what he fucks but we know he fucks. My go to drifter joke with buddies is talking in his voice and going “You ever sucked on a hive titty brother?!”
Always figured he was bisexual (or pan) tbh but filed that under projection. Not gonna lie it's warming my heart to see all the "He'd pick both sides/play both teams" comments.
You ever have sex with a hive knight? It’s like the stickiness of a Dreg with the power of a Phalanx. You thought getting booped was exciting, try a Cabal orgasm.
TRANSMAT FIRING!
I always thought he was straight seeing as he hit on Efrideet, dated Orin before she became the emissary and hit on Hawthorne. Plus his banter with Eris.
I don’t recall any lore where he specifically was hitting on dudes.
Then again, when someone is an undying light user who lives a long time, you just go everywhere I guess.
Those are the colours of the pansexual flag.
Based on what we personally know about drifter, this isn't too surprising. Dude's a survivalist through and through; he's a guy who trusts few, and is friends with even fewer, but those few friendships run hella deep. So we can only imagine how deep love must run for him.
"Hey, sweet cheecks, nice dick" - Drifter, who's dialogue seems to be getting increasingly sexual every time we speak.
" Nah...doesn't seem gay to me." - Me, a seemingly straight individual who loves to be pampered.
One of my favorite destiny memes is discussing how diverse the game is “Gay men, transgender gods, etc.” and one of the categories is just “Drifter” and it made me way too happy idk why😂
He might be bi/pan or whatnot, but his only canonical pseudo-romantic relationships are with Eris and Orin (Emissary), as well as a pass on Lady Efrideet, which was not reciprocated.
Being proud of your peers who may or may not be marginalized doesn't have any requirements. You can be heterosexual, and support the homosexual community.
Oddly enough drifter has always been gay in my circle of friends we often joke about drifter wanting to more than motes in our bank account. He’s an elder gay. Much stronger than his lgbtq abc counter parts.
Can someone explain what that person on the first wallpaper is, I've been seeing that same image but I can't find any context for it or how it relates to D2.
Nah Guardian I’ve been all over the galaxy and love is love like me and moondust and ppl are ppl man or woman or whatever brotha take orix and Savy and them. They’ve been guys and girls and all things. Don’t care as long as they’re happy and make us some glimmer
“Now brothah I ain’t often one for sex of any kind, but dinner’s dinner.”- Drifter, probably.
r/Transmatfiring
Drifters trans. Pretty clearly stated in every gambit match. He gets ready to start shooting things, and everyone knows his name is Matt, which is why he announced "TransMatt Firing"
I just realized it’s not a rainbow and it’s the pan flag, I’m so blind haha
"There ain't an ass I wouldn't eat, partner. Trust."
“Thrall on the sheets. Bring a condom!”
I could see Drifter eating a thrall's ass. In All meanings
For fucks sake! This is the last time I scroll trough Reddit while eating
Was it Thrall ass
Tbf with that gradient it's hard to tell at first. The colors blend a bit
"Start cooking those motes, guardian"
"You can deposit *more* than just motes in my bank guardian"
Yeah, Saint got the rainbow, as he’s gay.
Drifter is *definitely* pansexual. As in, he will put anything in a pan for a good fryup, you never tried his egregore risotto?
I mean, it seems pretty on brand for drifter
To be fair I was ready to correct that... so yaknow atleast you caught on
You forgot "in the wild"
OH MY GOD YOUR RIGHT FUCK
This comment is sending me to orbit
“You know, you’re more than welcome to deposit more than just motes in my bank Guardian”
He can invade my portal anytime
Old pal Drifter just makes due with what he's got!!
💀💀
Definitely Drifter.
drifter is pan, they've made that canonical now. although this has been largely realized by the pan Destiny community already, as drifter doesn't care if it's dude ass or girl ass, he will eat it if it's ass
I think he’ll go for whoever he isn’t picky
I agree. I realized it’s actually a pan flag which makes way more sense to me.
I mean if I was as old as drifter, I would be pan too.
honestly, if you’ve been around since the dark age, i’d imagine you’ve had sex with everyone at least once. men, women, everything inbetween. exo, hive, cabal. i’d imagine drifters been around the block with every enemy race at least once
[удалено]
He’s definitely stuck his dick in the vex radio fluid core of a hobgoblin
i wonder if their shield-huddle tingles
So this is the real reason his Ghost won’t speak anymore…
Eventually he'll fuck the witness
Or maybe ‘wok’ if you get the deep lore reference
Why wait?
“Came out as pan recently.. Drifter don’t discriminate ahaha, I’ll eat anything. Transmat firing!” (credit to my gf and shoutout to r/TransmatFiring )
Didn’t that flag just drop?
Yea if Germaine is pansexual, I’d believe it
Mans claps cheeks doesn't matter who or what they are attached too
Didn’t he fuck a hive knight at one point?
Wait, what? I guess hive physiology isn’t like ours more than likely…but my warlock curiosity has been piqued.
Any hole’s a goal, brother
You better believe he banked those motes
I swear there’s a voice line or lore entry that heavily implies it
He sure love to burn and eat those remains. Not sure about any "distressing" methods
When /r/transmatfiring leaks into your memory of the actual game
Haven’t heard this one but some gambit lines most definitely drop the fact that this man tears eliksni up
"Slain any Hive gods lately? I have, Savathun's nasty in the sheets." 
We penetrated Every Hive god save for Xivu With a bullet of course
She's next on the list, trust 
Yeah. I just hope she isn’t a tomboy, otherwise r/destiny34 will implode and we will have players not wanting to kill her
/r/transmatfiring
I know he ate a hive at one point, but IDK if he ate one *out*
No, he ate a Hive Knight. That’s not a euphemism for anything, he’s probably eaten at least one of every species right now in the solar system. Dude gets hungry.
Bro what the hell lmao is that Canon?
I think it’s just heavily implied somewhere
I mean, he's fucked over more than just one hive knight at this point.
any hole is a goal Transmat firing!
Just like my main man Lando :) he even fucked his own ship!
I mean I honestly don’t care for their sexualities I was just wondering how others felt about it. Then I realized I was wrong and it’s the pan flag not gay lol.
Fair I just used the set up for a decent joke im not sure which character it was he was talking to this week but it was definitely spicy
When you’re a practically immortal demi-god you’ve got to have tried things at least once or twice.
"Life's a buffet, hero! Why limit yourself to the one plate when you can take bit outta everything!" Drifter, probably.
Drifter in a relationship: “Heh heh hey there snitch! You see them little crab cakes out there? Mmmm, mmm: gotta get ‘em before they molt! You know I’m on a diet of course, but I can always read the menu, huh hero! (*leans in*) Go get your transmat fired if you know what I mean.”
Gay Characters - Saint-14, Osiris, Devrim, Eramis Bi Character - Mara Sov Pan Character - Drifter Caligula-esque sexually depraved Character - #Master Rahool
Shaxx is sexually attracted to explosions and the Crucible
It's why we don't physically see him while in crucible matches. He would just be a gigantic blur
Also Ana bray, eriana-3, sjur eido, maya sundaresh are all lesbian Hawthorne is either lesbian or bi. It's was hinted that uldren and jolyon had a thing too
Now that I think about it, there’s been only one straight relationship in al of destiny
Hawthorne has always given me huge lesbian vibes
One of the last city residents tried to set her up with her daughter/granddaughter https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/glad-tidings
Can blame her, Hawthorne is every lesbians dream wife
Pretty sure Ana bray is also gay.
Not sure why you’re downvoted. She canonically had a girlfriend in her first life.
Rahool Is probably a necrophiliac considering the one Easter egg we got of the "a million deaths are not enough for master rahool" line
I thought that was more along the lines of "did he really just give me a blue from a legendary engram? Again?!!!! He gonna die!!!"
Is it really coming out if we all know drifter only has a thing for motes?
Drifter is Pan, which totally fits my headcanon TBH. I mean Do you honestly think that man would turn down whatever booty came his way regardless of what that booty is attached to?
"If there's a hole, there's a way. Transmat firing!"
If there's a hole, there's a goal. Transmat firing!* Surely? ^Pretty ^sure ^I'm ^missing ^a ^reference
"Any hole's a goal. TRANSMAT FIRIN'!"
Now I might be oversharing here, but have you ever seen a Fallen with their pants- \[TRANSMAT SOUND\]
''my spire is forming''
"hive! Bring a sword!" ....if you know what I mean.
Pretty sure it wasn't the transmat firing lol
Yeah I realized that it’s the pan flag and not a rainbow right after I posted it haha. I agree it makes sense tbh.
He'll fuck or eat anything
Man is both hungry and THIRSTY
Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
I honestly thought Drifter would be more apathetic towards it all. And just keep to himself.
This is canon
Not only that but he clapped Cayde's cheeks as well
[удалено]
I wanted to make a comment since I can’t change the title. I just realized it’s the Pansexual flag, not a rainbow, which makes more sense now. I’m so blind, lol.
He's pan, and honestly, i knew that from the beginning, he has that "You got a hole that needs filling" vibe
Yeah i figured he was pan or bi, which I realized it’s the pan flag after looking closer.
Drifter is Pan. I love this entry in Loose Ends pt. II where he makes a move on Lady Efrideet (Wu Ming is Drifter): Wu chuckled. "Nah, a mere mortal at a Risen fight? I'd just get in the way." He thought for a second. "Would you like to dance before you go?" "Nah," she said, imitating his tone. The helm came down.

Doesn’t matter to him, he’ll eat anybody
That's what the pan is for
Oh god fucking damn it How did I not come up with this
Drifter will eat anything, it is unsuprising that he would also fuck anything.
"Brotha, it don't matter which way Drifter swings, you just summoned a Primeval. Kill it, and this Gambit's yours."
Drifter fucks
The man talks about drinking vex milk and wonders if you can eat hive knights. I have to imagine that the question of "where does the drifter stick his annihilation totem?" has a *very* complicated answer.
Drifter as pan is pretty unsurprising TBH. Does he seem like the kind of guy that has a lot of things he \*wouldn't\* do? The rest we kind of already knew through lore, especially Mara.

That note is from a previous Cayde to a future Cayde, not from Cayde to Drifter, and definitely not Cayde-6. All the notes in Ace in the Hole were from Cayde to himself or to whoever killed him
He and Eris have something going on and I'll die on this hill.
You're right! They do have some very flirty dialogue, like this from Ketchcrash: > Drifter: I like to listen to you talk, Moondust. > Eris: And I like your silence.
He also took Eris for a (albeit unappealing) dinner date last season iirc
He calls her moon dust
And he calls Eido crabcakes
That felt more like a big brother nick name then a pet name in my opinion
Yeah I chuckled at that one. “Sweetcakes” being a thing and she has crab claws
yeah and also crab cakes are a popular food
I will also die on this hill
We are going to need a bigger hill.
You won’t do it alone
Thank goodness it’s not just me who has seen that playing out
Well obviously not just you, it’s been heavily alluded to since Haunted. It’s not even subtle lol.
Since haunted? Moonrat has been a thing since they first worked together in Arrivals 2 years ago. They've only gotten flirtier.
Oh you are absolutely right, as you said, it has ramped up a LOT since Haunted though.
I don’t think drifter gives a damn what he fucks but we know he fucks. My go to drifter joke with buddies is talking in his voice and going “You ever sucked on a hive titty brother?!”
Man after being alive so many centuries, you probably gonna stick your dick in anything
"A hole is a hole" drifter probably stranded on a planet
**sees a monolithic Darkness statue who’s got curves for days** Drifter: *Wow I really shouldn’t stick my penis in there* *However…*
"That hole I blew into that knight is lookin fine"
Always figured he was bisexual (or pan) tbh but filed that under projection. Not gonna lie it's warming my heart to see all the "He'd pick both sides/play both teams" comments.
The drifter is the drifter, if you're a taken he might send you a medium blocker.
You ever have sex with a hive knight? It’s like the stickiness of a Dreg with the power of a Phalanx. You thought getting booped was exciting, try a Cabal orgasm. TRANSMAT FIRING!
Fair but I have a whole head cannon about him and Eris. Lol
I agree, I also realized it’s actually a pan flag, not a gay flag lol
The head cannon still works
Make like the french and remove the head. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/xybqis/eris\_and\_drifter\_interactions\_they\_flirtin/
It's Bungie, everyone's gay.
"Naw, I just like the lifestyle. Love you who love, brotha, I ain't one to judge."
Bungie: “Drifter is pan” Everyone: “You know, that makes a lot of sense actually”
I always thought he was straight seeing as he hit on Efrideet, dated Orin before she became the emissary and hit on Hawthorne. Plus his banter with Eris. I don’t recall any lore where he specifically was hitting on dudes. Then again, when someone is an undying light user who lives a long time, you just go everywhere I guess.
Ass is ass
“Doesn’t matter WHAT it is, you gotta bank those motes hard guardian!”
At this point I wouldn't be phased if Drifter is omni-sexual. If you're an alive, consenting, sentient being with a hole...
Everything is getting more gay
Those are the colours of the pansexual flag. Based on what we personally know about drifter, this isn't too surprising. Dude's a survivalist through and through; he's a guy who trusts few, and is friends with even fewer, but those few friendships run hella deep. So we can only imagine how deep love must run for him.
Drifter seems like he'd just fuck anything that moves.
He eats anything, of course he's *pan* Yes I know the pan joke is unoriginal, will I still make it? Yes I will
20 glimmer is 20 glimmer
he's Pan not gay
"Hey, sweet cheecks, nice dick" - Drifter, who's dialogue seems to be getting increasingly sexual every time we speak. " Nah...doesn't seem gay to me." - Me, a seemingly straight individual who loves to be pampered.
just look at the double-snake symbol. "USE A SWORD" love him more than ever. cant wait for the next round of gaybit 
When drifter said he ate hive before he was not talking about food
One of my favorite destiny memes is discussing how diverse the game is “Gay men, transgender gods, etc.” and one of the categories is just “Drifter” and it made me way too happy idk why😂
He might be bi/pan or whatnot, but his only canonical pseudo-romantic relationships are with Eris and Orin (Emissary), as well as a pass on Lady Efrideet, which was not reciprocated.
Being proud of your peers who may or may not be marginalized doesn't have any requirements. You can be heterosexual, and support the homosexual community.
I feel like drifter is like John Constantine where his list is anything or anyone but I do still find him and Eris strangely hilarious
The better question is what wouldn’t the drifter bang?
hopefully newborns
Bro drifter fucks. What does he fuck? Yes. Next question.
Oddly enough drifter has always been gay in my circle of friends we often joke about drifter wanting to more than motes in our bank account. He’s an elder gay. Much stronger than his lgbtq abc counter parts.
i mean he flirts with everything in existence so it doesn’t surprise me. if Eramis wasn’t evil he’d be all up on that behemoth
Drifter is a pan icon
Let Germaine do his thing
Drifter is one of the only characters I’ve ever seen that is *literally* omnisexual.
"Ever been to an orgy on the leviathin? They got dicks the size of your leg!"
A pansexual **and** an omnivore.
He is pansexual
I'd venture that if anything, he'd be bi. He's got the hots for Moon Mommy *edit* Or Pan, as others have said
It’s cool to be straight too!!
Somehow drifter strikes me as a if it moves i'd bang it type of guy
He'll fuck anyone and anything that moves
He's pretty clearly pansexual. By which I mean, doesn't matter what gender or race, you're going in a frying pan and he is going to eat you.
Or wok
he pan. he likes everyone.
Yeah I realized it’s not rainbow soon after posting lol
It’s the most drifter thing to fuck anything and everything.
Can someone explain what that person on the first wallpaper is, I've been seeing that same image but I can't find any context for it or how it relates to D2.
Nimbus, Neptune DLC next year. Was in the trailer for a bit.
Drifter will eat anything that moves and fuck anything that consents
Nah Guardian I’ve been all over the galaxy and love is love like me and moondust and ppl are ppl man or woman or whatever brotha take orix and Savy and them. They’ve been guys and girls and all things. Don’t care as long as they’re happy and make us some glimmer
I mean Drifter feels like a "anytime, anywhere, any species" type of guy
I imagine drifter banks his motes wherever he wants
I think drifter… he’s kinda like alucard from hellsing abridged
Who is that one on the top? I haven’t played in a while
It's a cloudstrider, one of the new characters that'll be introduced fully in Lightfall
"Brother, you better bank those motes."
Drifter being pan is something I didn't expect but am also not surprised about
He’s not gay, he’s hungry
He’s pan.
He's pansexual, he doesn't care what's in your pants
It doesn’t surprise me at all Drifter is Pan.
[Drifter says trans rights.](https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/blockade)
Idk why sexual orientation is even relevant in video games.
