It’s called
Hive Trauma
Found a small draft in my notes
Imagine being Osiris. You spent years of your (exiled) life to find your lost lover among timelines on timelines. You manage to bring him back in one piece and it's him, it's really him. Some time later, an unknown enemy makes your lover doubt everything about himself, makes him doubt your relationship, your truth. And if you still were your old self, that reckless, hotheaded Lightbringer who always put himself in danger despite everyone and everything, you would've faced that same enemy already, you would've gone headfirst in battle without a second thought. But you aren't that man anymore, you're Lightless now, you're just a human whose heart is hurting for his lover, you can't risk that. You must endure seeing your husband at his lowest, because you know the best way now is to understand what's going on better, your brain and knowledge are his best options to get through this pain. You know that, yet your heart bleeds and you feel like you should do more, but you can't.

This was meant to be an excuse for me to practice colour. It also became an excuse for me to draw a dumb o14 mini-comic

Have this scrapped reaction of Saint as a random treat tho
You also have to take in everything that Osiris has gone through as well, losing almost all of the Iron Lords, losing Saint, almost became wrathborn, lost Sagira and his light bc of it and then got possessed by Savathun, and as far as we know (or I know, i could full well be missing some lore), Osiris has never fully processed any of it and just shoved down all his grief.
Every day I fight battles for Osiris's honor. Every single time he's a relevant character being his Messy and Brash self people take it personally. Every time I think it'll be different.
Anyways
I really liked Osiris's characterization in Lightfall, it felt more true to how he is as a character than he was in Seraph. However I'm already seeing people being Weird about him. On one hand, I understand he isn't for everyone, not everyone has to like him as he's a very difficult man (which is exactly why I like him.) However there's a difference between just... Disliking a character and egregiously misreading and misinterpreting one.
Two major points I've seen talked about already, ad infinitum, that I feel I have to give you a better perspective of: the urgency of which he acts, and his unhealthy training techniques. (And to a lesser point the claim that he's been over exaggerated which spoilers: he's always been like this.)
His urgency
(or as so many of you claim, that he's yelling at us the entire time.)
I feel like someone having to walk a baby through how to use building blocks it's THIS dire.
THE THEME OF LIGHTFALL IS GRIEF. It's grief and finding a way to accept that grief, not push it down or block it, not fight it every step of the way, but rather let it flow through you and allow it.
Osiris's arc throughout Lightfall is grappling with this: he's not had the TIME to process his grief, both over Sagira and over the loss of his Light. He feels inadequate because there's never been a time where he hasn't been able to act himself.
Osiris outright states in the campaign that he always used his grief as something to push him forward, as a means to fix it, like he did with Saint. But he can't do that now and it frustrates him. He pushes us because it's a reflection of himself, he's beyond frustrated with the fact that he can't do this himself, that he has to rely upon others when he's been self reliant for hundreds of years.
Not only that but he's ALWAYS been a very no-nonsense kind of guy, it used to be that he had Sagira to balance out his social awkwardness, but since she isn't here to often speak For him he's been struggling to interact with others. Sagira acted as a median, now that she's gone he's had to go it alone, you can't blame him for his bluntness.
Now... the yelling scene... I don't know why but everyone seems to be taking this one really really personally despite that fact it's painstakingly clear he's yelling because he's angry with HIMSELF. You're all so focused on the fact he yelled — which, I feel I need to remind you he's in grief and he's going through a very hard change, he's always been calm so seeing him like this really puts into perspective how much he's hurting. No one is talking about his apology afterwards.
He recognizes that he lashed out incorrectly, (and imo he's ALLOWED to after all he's gone through. god forbid grief be expressed in any capacity other than quiet depression.) And then he apologizes. Because that's what he does. He recognizes a misstep and apologizes. This is how he's always been.
Training
And when he's training us, telling us to push beyond our limits, this is a reflection of himself again. This is how he trained. We know this because this is how the Crucible became what it is now.
But I will also take good ideas where I can get them. And Osiris's belief that Guardian minds and bodies can be sharpened as one sharpens a sword is a damn good idea. You've seen the results in the Crucible. Do I really have to say any more?
The Conqueror 2
Osiris has always pushed himself (and in part I think Felwinter added to this) so it only makes sense he'd try to push us in the same manner. The entire point of this is to show it's wrong and Osiris eventually recognizes it as wrong! His perspective was incorrect! And it changes! Because that's how stories work!
Grief
Grief is not always shown with crying messes, it's not always quiet depression, it can manifest by being incredibly volatile and angry and that's how Osiris handles his grief when he can't just power himself through it anymore.
His arc is coming to terms with the fact he can't just wrestle his grief into submission. His arc is that he doesn't have to deal with his grief alone. His arc is that his mortality and inability to act himself isn't a personal failure. His arc is that he lets it flow rather than try to push it down. Like strand, Osiris's grief is a river and he's been trying to build a dam for the past several months.
Osiris is a nuanced character. He has flaws and he's never hid them. If you played the entire campaign with the audio off and subtitles off and you can't grasp the simple fact Osiris is experiencing incredible amounts of grief and trauma that's on you, my friend.
Destiny fans why are you allergic to old man Osiris to the point that you subscribe to the fanon that guardians can age....

Sometimes the only person you can talk to is one that you knew before you were a legend. Unfortunately for Drifter, that means playing bartender to one belligerent, and heart-broken, Phoenix.
I think I just saw a biblical accurate Osiris and Saint fusion...
A moment away from the celebrations
After doing one for Drifter and Eris, it only felt fitting to do one for everyone's favourite gay dads.
Am i happy with it? No but it was just a quick thing I threw together, I'm sure ill do another one featuring the two of them again soon.
