Osiris And Saint Are Just Roommates With One Bedroom And One Bed. The City Is Just Small And Everything

Osiris and Saint are just roommates with one bedroom and one bed. The city is just small and everything is compact, so people just share beds with their besties. You just have to say "no homo" before bed and you're good.*

Time to draw artwork of the awoken gang!

I actually really loved Osiris when I began learning more about him. Meanwhile Mara I thought was a bitch and didn't like her. But now that I've learned more about both Mara and Osiris and have seen them in multiple stories, they're both some of my favorite characters.

But yeah, an old Egyptian man makes sense when they are describing the most powerful warlock whose name is Osiris. He's named after an Egyptian god of death! And while it's just a name, he can be from somewhere else, it is still fitting. And having Sagira's name meaning "little light" in Arabic reinforces this notion. But I suppose it's obscure enough that people might not know. My bf had no idea Osiris is an Egyptian god, but I know this from years of reading Greco-Roman and Egyptian mythology as a kid. Also, I don't understand how it's confusing to people Osiris is old. Like, the wise old wizard/scholar trope? And lightbearers can be any age?? Of course Osiris could have been young, but it makes more sense if he is older. Especially to play up the teacher-student dynamic of Osiris and Ikora's stories. Also, he's gay. And people can just be gay! And Osiris and Saint aren't very trope-y gay men, they're just themselves and happen to be in a relationship together. Like, wow, yes, I too would write love poems and literally fuck up time for my "friend."

how someone feels about osiris really is an (unfortunate) litmus test for whether or not they're someone whose opinions can be trusted. Like, hey, you! Can you be normal about a gay Egyptian Jewish man? Especially if he's not polite? Especially when he's neurodivergent, and shows strong traits of that neurodivergence? What does it say about you that you preferred him when Savathun was masquerading as him and being nice to you while she undermined the City, but not when he was being rude and blunt and fighting for the good of humanity?

Because if you don't like him just because he's an ass, that's fine, but if you hate him yet are chill with Mara* being a dick then you miiight want to think about why that might be the case.

(*to be clear I also fucking love Mara, but she's more of a test of 'can you handle morally grey characters' than a test of good faith since she is, canonically, a straight-up bitch. A bitch with good intentions, and I love her, but also a bitch. Osiris, however, presents more of a nuanced situation because of racial biases towards Middle Eastern men)

I love the season pass banners. They're always so pretty. Also, I must point out the hunter knife that is wedged into the table that Eris is working at. I love little reminders that she is indeed a hunter lol.
