This Is So True! Saint Always Shows His Love Through All The Pet Names He Has For Osiris, While Osiris

This is so true! Saint always shows his love through all the pet names he has for Osiris, while Osiris dances around his love. It's there--Saint knows it--but Osiris always has multiple walls up, even to those closest to him. But in that moment, when he calls Saint his love, Osiris feels like he needs to be direct. There is an urgency. This time Osiris was almost killed, was almost drowned out by the Witch Queen and unable to get out of this coma. This time he wants Saint to know Osiris loves him.

so like i was talking about it earlier and i can't sleep so im going to inflict my Thoughts abt osiris being Specific abt language and stuff on yall as well saint pretty much always uses possessives right "my fiery bird" "my friend" "my phoenix" "my Brother" "his beloved osiris" right like and i think a lot about "yours, in time" and things that are "too unspoken"

("go find your lost phoenix") and "tell saint i- nevermind, i'll tell him myself" (like he's correcting himself, or like it's hard to say, or it's something he needs to do Properly) saint's never had trouble telling the whole world what he thinks and feels (apart from when he's stressed, then he just shoulders it because That's What He Does but i digress) osiris writes obscure poetry and doesn't say the words, necessarily ("he touches my cheek. his eyes say things that words cannot") and like he doesn't Need to really, saint Knows this, but- ("why all the fuss?" "i owe him") anyway. my point is. my Point. is. the First Thing He Says ("I reach for aid - my hand is held - saint?") is "Saint, my love."

Crow is obviously struggling with his grief but it’s sort of messed up, given everything he knows, to turn to YW and invite them on a vengeance crusade. Through Uldren he has first hand knowledge of just how far off the deep end they’re capable of going. How far does he want them to go? How much pain does he want them to cause? If he asks for scorched earth he’d probably get it. Given Amanda’s death happened during a mission they were involved in it’s likely another loss they feel somewhat personally responsible for.

I know there’s a lot of times different characters ask for YW to basically unleash rage upon their enemies but personally to me (just my headcanon basically) I always felt that, post Forsaken, it was meeting Crow and hearing about what he’d been through since he’d risen that started to wake YW up. And with his perspectives on our conflicts and enemies in the following seasons he reminded YW of the type of Guardian they could be. The type of Guardian they were when they showed Misraaks mercy all those years ago on Titan.

So it being him who is asking this of them just left me feeling hollow.

So, Bubo will do all of these. Gambit she secretly enjoys because Tripore is a Dregen and it's fun sometimes. Patrols have to be done, tho it's not her favorite thing. Bubo does use it to find flowers. Raids and dungeons, again she has to because she's the YW.

But crucible? Ha. And I mean, regular crucible not trials and IB. She does Trials every once in a blue moon (mainly cause she can't say no to Saint and Violet is such a good sniper that it's a breeze on certain maps). She likes Iron Banner for some reason and Saladin wouldn't allow an iron lord in training to miss it.

But regular ol' Crucible? Nah. Bubo stays away from that with a ten foot pole. The only game mode Shaxx can get her to do is Mayhem when she needs to blow off some stream by throwing Dawnblades and Nova Bombs in people's faces. But she stays away from crucible. It doesn't help that people always compare her to Ikora, and Bubo doesn't always feel like she lives up to her mentor. Plus, Bubo has been hit with snipers and shotguns to the face one too many times at the point and can't deal with it

specific destiny poll time 👀

Ooh....

I didnt know I needed to see Osiris and Felwinter hugging, but I love it

Sagira likes floofy things is adorable. I can imagine Saint getting Sagira and Geppetto the floofiest pillows for some much needed rest from bird watching.

OH I JUST NOTICED in that art with sleeping Osiris and Sagira, Felwinter lended them his coat, didn't he? My heart is going to explode 😭😭😭

Agfksdjks yeah, he did! Only his coat has such an impressive fur collar 😂 (Excuse me for marinating your ask for some time, but I wanted to dig up a fitting sketch I had for it and then I... got a little carried away with the coloring........ ANYWAY)

(also thank you, I'm always glad when people notice such things 💙)
