My impression of Season of the Deep
I love scrolling through the back catalog of art on here. Nothing can make a bad day better than a trio of handsome (hot) warlocks. Holding out hope that we may get graced with more of everyone favorite gremlin of the trio, Timur.
Thank you! 💙 Also sure, dug up some Timurs for you:
( Why gremlin tho, I think he's quite elegant! ( ´•ᴗ•ก) )
No. No, you aren't.
There is one other thing to talk about in regards to the dungeon, and that's Osiris, who is on comms for us.
First of all, he was absolutely ready to go there himself. Ikora tells us as much.
She tells us that he's wants to go, but that she's afraid of him hurting himself so that it would be best if we went instead. Because he trusts us. This is enough to make me cry all day, but it's not all.
Once in there, he leads us through. One of his comments in the middle of the dungeon:
This is huge for him. He never does anything for himself. He never says that he needs help for something that sound even remotely selfish or that would be perceived as selfish. But here? He said "I need this." Not "we," not "Ikora," not "Guardians." He. Only he.
He needs to be able to convince others to trust him again. He needs to be able to convince HIMSELF to trust himself again. And the way he says it? He says it almost like he's ashamed of admitting that this is something he needs personally.
And that makes me wail and sob and throw things. Osiris, you are allowed to ask for help and to do things for yourself!!!!
But that's not all! At the end, he makes the following comments:
I will never be a normal person again after this. He and Saint had plans, back in the day, back before the Infinite Forest, that they would go explore the universe together. But not before they made the City safe for everyone else.
They took it upon themselves to do this. To make the City safe, first and foremost, before they can detach and go do things by themselves, for themselves. Securing everyone else took precedence. A job for a thousand years, or more, of making everyone else safe; Osiris and Saint sacrificed everything to make it so.
Only after they finish the most important job, only then are they allowed to leave and do things they want. And nobody would've faulted them if they just left at any point in time. Nobody would've even known. Nobody except them. They couldn't handle thinking selfishly and leaving everyone to struggle while they frollick around the universe.
To them, the first and most important thing is to make sure that everything else is done. Their personal lives and personal wishes and fantasies and dreams come second. That is why they ended up separated. That's why Osiris was exiled, that's why Saint died, that's why Osiris had to move time and space to bring him back, that's why Osiris messed with Hive gods, that's why he became Lightless and kidnapped and in a coma.
Because the most important imperative to them both is to save the world.
And now Osiris is coming to terms with mortality for the first time and he is thinking about what could've been. But even then, he STILL wants to put himself in danger to protect us all.
And I am simply crying super hard on the floor.
Additional cute info to help us from crying, after we returned and Ana wanted to run more missions for extra data, Osiris wanted to himself. AGAIN. She stops him (dungeon helmet lore):
I LOVE the lore about how everyone in the Tower apparently has scheduled watching Colonel time.
"No!" Ana dashes passed Osiris, "It's your night to watch the Colonel. I'll outsource a posse."
[🚧 WIP] Quite a mess
[🚧 WIP] Don't mind me, I'm just trying to remember how to hold a pen
Osiris goes to the bedroom one night, and just sits on the bed crying as he realizes how much he's lost.
Saint-14 obviously hears this. He just comes in, kneels down before Osiris, and holds his face between both his hands, pressing their foreheads together. He wipes Osiris's tears with his thumbs, and just holds the man.
When he stops, Osiris just throws his arms around Saint, and presses into him. His gentle whispers of thanks are sweet.
And Saint just brushes Osiris's head down his spine, and tells the man he is his phoenix. Osiris burns so bright that he loses the flame and it kills him. But no less, he always rises from the ashes of what was, and becomes bright yet again.
Osiris tells Saint he can only do this because of him. Because of the promise they have to keep living for each other.
Saint nods, kisses him, and smiles. He will keep being the reason Osiris lives, then. Because Osiris is his reason all the same. They love so much. Both of them.
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.
Etoiles is already insane, but this is him half-code monster, AND IT'S IS NOT MADAGIO, IS !FIT WORKING FOR MADAGIO
If you're planning on swinging your Dawnblade like a stick, then don't bother shaping it into a sword.
