Sagira - Tumblr Posts

Guardian Academy Headcanon: Often the academy goes on field trips with the juniors and seniors to either old Guardian raid sites that are now historical landmarks or places like the Reef which they met Mara Sov who gave them a lecture then let Petra take full charge in being their guide which was later passed down to Uldren who was visibly annoyed because Variks wasn't around to help out.

-Raid locations almost always turn into cool field trip spots. The only one that is left is The one where Riven’s happens, just because the Dreaming City is a bit of a mess

-Variks purposely leaves Uldren to deal with the kids/teenagers because 1.) he doesn’t think they’ll want to talk to him because he’s Fallen(Eliksni), 2.) he does have a prison to run, and 3.) he is not always the easiest to understand. But if kids are visiting he’ll know Uldren or Petra will come by to show them the Prison, so he’ll always have an event going on.

-When Uldren started doing the lectures, he was first really annoyed with these kids, but they eventually grew on him, and now he’s indifferent to them

-The kids really like the Queen. She only really gives a lecture and shows them the throne room, and stuff. She’ll also answer any questions and sort of tell them about stuff like the Crows, Queen’s Wraith, Corairs, etc. They really like her though because they admire her and her people because of what they have gone through and withstood

-The times Variks is around to help, he’ll lecture on the prisoners. Especially the high profile ones like the Mind Minotaur, Keksis, Silok, Skolas, Val’alrun, etc. He will also give descriptions on what and how to do the Prison because he knows these kids will one day be old enough to fight.

-Variks also, much to everyone’s suprise, really emjpys showing the kids around and talking about everything. He just really loves it

(If you couldn’t tell, I absolutely adore Variks, so thank you for this ask)

-The Leviathan raid zone is even an open field trip location. Emperor Calus will talk to the kids, and at first it was incredibly strange, but now they can visit his palace

-If the young ones are on a trip, Zavala will send at least 2 fireteams ahead to clear the areas, and kind of stick around just in case any people want to show up and try to hurt the kids

-Besides raid locations, they’ll visit old strike zones, empty crucible maps, and places like Felwinter Peak. They’ll also visit planets for overnight trips and outdoor trips.

-Older kids will get to more trips into a bit more dangerous areas. Like the Infinite Forest where Osiris or Sagira will talk, the Dreadnaught where Eros will lecture. Places that are a bit more high profile

I love hearing these ideas, and am really happy you decide to share them with me because it is just such a cool idea. I wish I had a bit better drawing skill to draw some of this, but hopefully I’ll get better so I can.

Thank you for letting me build on it too as I really adore this idea. It’s really lovely to see stuff like this in my ask, so never feel bad about asking.

I Miss My Ghost

I miss the ghost that stopped me on Felwinter Peak to thank me for being his friend and to reflect on our journey together

I miss the ghost who was excited by looking at a Vex Milk Waterfall

I miss the ghost who would make bad jokes after you beat public events

I miss the ghost that wondered if Ikora gave ghosts hugs for doing good jobs

I miss the ghost that thanked me for being his guardian and protecting him

I miss the ghost who got choked up over saying goodbye to Saint-14

I miss the ghost that would get annoyed when I would rush into danger just because he didn’t want me hurt

I miss the ghost who got annoyed when we called him little light

I miss the ghost who cheered after we took down the Gate Lord to the Black Garden

The ghost who cheered after every victory

The ghost who was so confident on his hacking skills he never needed an access key

The ghost who was so sheepish after he accidentally set stuff off

The ghost that believed in you till time itself would end

The ghost that knew you were going through tough battles but just wanted you to come out alive in the end

The ghost that was amazed at the world and what it was like before the collapse

The ghost that tried so hard to stay positive even though his source of life was gone and if you died, that would be the end of it, and that scarred him

The ghost that was so scarred yet so brave at the same time

The ghost whose curiosity outweighed his sense of danger

The ghost who rezzed me and was so happy he found me and I was alive

The ghost who was my friend

I miss my ghost

bean nervously waving “hi” to sagira after they realize sagira’s not gonna bring her guardian over to kill them

@alak-cool

i think she would have enjoyed exploring the universe. i ALSO think she’d have had some absolutely legendary snark to throw at the witness in the pale heart.

Sacrifice leads to death, Sagira

I miss Sagira...also, can Osiris get a (therapy) pet pouka? I think he needs one

“Oh..Right…”

Osiris floating while sitting down is amazing lol. Hmm, new warlock idea unlocked

also i just wanna have these guys on here permanently ehehehee

As a warlock main, I love the amount of birds in these sketches!

[🚧 WIP] A bunch of sketches

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 💙)

Now we can switch Savvy with our hive war mommy to make it accurate for Season of the Deep too

really impressed by the character interactions this season (this was made during Season of the Lost)

A page of baby birbs (5 common, 2 rare)

+ bonus 100% close up for the best girl 🥲

Let your dreams flood in

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)

Tell me more of this ghost adoption 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I will happily share the soft and sweet story of how my Ghost OC Sparky got himself adopted by Sagira and Geppetto

Not many guardians paid attention to unpaired ghosts. They knew they existed and sometimes would see one zip here or there in the tower but with the exception of rare individuals like Micah-10, most unpaired ghosts were ignored or forgotten.

Another thing Guardians tended to overlook was the fact that ghosts didn't always get along. Each ghost had a personality all its own and they didn't always mesh.

Sagira and Geppetto were two peas in a pod. Even back in the beginning when Saint would purposely ruffle Osiris' feathers and Osiris would rant about Saint for hours, Sagira would look at Geppetto across the table and rotate her shell in an equivalent of an eye-roll and Geppetto would hide silent giggles at their guardians.

Once their Guardians git together the pair of ghosts would recharge almost cuddled together on a plush pillow that Sagira insisted she had to have and Osiris indulged in for her. They were 'Etto and 'Gira and best friends and Sagira would even go as far to call them soulmates if you caught her in a gushing mood.

Saint-14 and Osiris were busy bickering about something Sagira already forgot and had shooed their ghosts out to enjoy the morning in the safety of the tower and her 'Etto had eagerly suggested they go visit the rooms where random little nests were left for unpaired ghosts to be able to recharge in, jokingly referred to as the Hatchery in the tower.

However on the way there they came across a surprising sight. A ghost in a damaged shell was bobbing its way through the shadows, little sparks of arc energy occasionally escaping a cracked optic and causing it to dip lower before it would catch itself and force itself onward.

Sagira didn't even have to look to know Geppetto would have her shell twisting in worry she just sighed and braced herself for whatever chaos was to follow. How anyone thought she was the rash one had never really known the trouble her 'Etto's too big heart could get them into. Just ask her about the bear cub incident.

"Hey are you alright?" Sagira called out as 'Etto zoomed over when the Ghost lost control again and looked like it was going to hit the ground. Sagira was right behind her partner and hovered nearby as Geppetto gently lowered the other ghost onto a stack of boxes nearby.

The ghost looked at them both with fear and distrust. "Is this some sort of joke? Are you here to laugh at me when I can't make it all the way to the Hatchery?" The ghost spat at them and Geppetto whirled back from the vicious edge to his voice but Sagira had been accused of worse things by Osiris and recognized a defense mechanism when she saw it.

"We're just concerned. You look hurt. I'm 'Gira and that's my 'Etto. Our Guardians are occupied so we were just enjoying the tower and we noticed you. How did you get so broken around here anyway?" She asked as the ghost did its best to look prickly and angry.

"One of the other ghosts from the hatchery said a ghost that I'm friends with was back from searching and I was stupid and believed them but it was a trap and they locked me in a closet with fireworks." The injured ghost deflated and Geppetto made a sound of distress.

"They set off fireworks and locked you in there with them?! You could have been shattered!" She cried but the ghost in front of them just looked tired.

"The fireworks weren't lit. That's the point. A normal ghost would have been fine but... They call me Sparky because even when I'm fully healed up arc energy sparks off me sometimes. I... Uh... I've accidentally shocked a lot of them or guardians they like... So they don't like me much. They want me out of the Hatchery so i'm not in the way to accidentally zap anyone anymore," He admitted in a defeated tone.

"That's terrible! Well we aren't taking you back there where they can try to hurt you again! You can borrow our nest to heal up in! Come on, Sagira, balance him on me, your shell isn't good for carrying things." Geppetto insisted immediately and the ghost immediately gasped.

"S-Sagira? You're *the* Sagira?" He squeaked and Sagira giggled letting her shell stretch out a bit in a preening fashion.

"The one and only! The one about to try to balance you is Geppetto. She's even more amazing but only barely." She said and Geppetto's optic brightened in a sort of blush equivalent.

"Sagira quit preening like one of brother Saint's pigeons and help me." 'Etto huffed and Sagira rolled her optic but dutifully used a tractor beam to carefully balance the other ghost onto her partner's shell grateful Geppetto wasn't in the crested one that mimicked Saint's helmet today and instead a simple silver one adorned with the Roman numerals for her guardian.

"Wait! No! I- I could hurt you!" Sparky yelped at the pair and Geppetto giggled.

"If I can survive the hive, fallen and the vex then I can handle a little zap from some half dead little baby ghostie!" She said teasingly as the group started to float along back toward the hanger Sagira ready to catch Sparky if he fell.

"We were all made at the same time! I am not a baby!" The ghost complained but Sagira gently tapped him with the point of a bit of her shell.

"Sounds like something a baby ghost would say to me." She joined in the teasing keeping the other ghost distracted away from the slight jostling as they moved. No one paid any attention to the three ghosts so thankfully the trip back wasn't far and then Sagira was able to transmat the other ghost the short distance left from outside the Gray Pigeon to her and Geppetto's shared nest. The pair following despite Sparky's worries that they'd get hurt. The few little zaps Sagira did notice weren't even painful. Those other ghosts were just weak cowards.

Thankfully once he was situated and snuggled between her and Geppetto he quickly drifted into a recharging state, cracks slowly starting to close as the light worked to restore him.

"Hey Sagira?" Geppetto whispered and Sagira peered at her in silent question.

"Can we keep him?" The other ghost asked and Sagira couldn't stop the tinkling laugh that escaped her.

"Fine but just this one. We can't adopt every sad ghost we meet 'Etto, then where would we recharge?" She teased back.

Warlocks' nest

Last moment catch

*concerned beeping x2*

"Wow—Osiris, have you read this?" "Of course I have—several times! It's a fascinating text; she is a master of her field." "You're telling me. Say, what's that you're writing there?" "Errata. For her next revision."
