#About Osiris

i tore open time for you.

[theforsakenprince]

the maya and osiris parallels continue to fuck me up. Both of them reaching across timelines to save their partners and while Maya won't stop until she finds the right Chioma, the perfect one that will agree with her vision for the universe, the "real" Chioma, and will throw away any version of her that isn't perfect, Osiris broke time for the chance to save Saint-14, and it didn't matter to him which Saint it was, because to him they're all the "real" Saint

I know you probably get this everyday, but would you be so nice as to show the proper hieroglyphs for Osiris.

It was my dogs name and I lost him unexpectedly yesterday. He was my best friend and I’m devastated. I’d like to engrave his proper name in his urn.

Oh love I'm so sorry, losing a companion animal is awful, and when it happens unexpectedly it can be so much worse.

Here's Osiris' proper name in hieros, most commonly rendered as Wesir:

However, since it was your dog's name, I've taken the liberty of rendering it with a dog hiero at the end, and adding mAa-xrw, meaning "true of voice" or "justified", which was a common epithet for the deceased.

Because I didn't know what shape of urn you were thinking of, I also rendered it vertically (and more vertically) for you:

Sending you many good thoughts. <3

I like the after-boss fight chatter taking place post-finale for Act 2. You get more of an idea on the beyond what just happened.

I got one conversation between Saint and Osiris after the third battlegrounds mission.

SAINT: "I told Geppetto what I saw in my tomb. That together we destroyed many Vex." "I told her, how she was brave, at the end. As I was... And when she fell, she was proud that I tried to avenge her." "For a moment I knew, what it was like to lose her, and the Light. It was... lonely." "I understand now, Osiris. I'm sorry." OSIRIS: "Sometimes I call for Sagira. I put out my palm and she's... not there. I do it less and less, but..." "I know I'm not alone in my grief. Eris understands, and now she and I can help Zavala through his own loss."

Damn. I don't even know if there's more to this because I was put back to orbit.

Yeah this is making me sad.

So Saint has new voice lines in Trials at the start of the match, based on your class. The audio is currently bugged so you can't hear them, but if you have subtitles on, you will see the text. And some of them are absolutely amazing. He's super serious for Titans, but for Hunters and Warlocks...

I'm crying laughing. I need the audio to get fixed so I can actually hear him say this. He's so confused about Hunters, paired will with one of the idle lines he has in the Hangar if you're a Hunter where he says "Good luck stealing, or whatever it is you Hunters do."

I love this one. I love when Saint is being obviously gay while he's calling a pvp match.

This is absolutely incredible. I love Saint. Please fix the audio, Bungie.

speaking of Osiris (and Saint-14)

[dredgen-dumbass]

half assed screenshot my friend sent me alignment chart for... when someone says something unhinged? idk.

[seigephoenix]

I have cried so much over these two during this season. I will go after the main villain for one reason: to stop them from making these two tired old men sad.

Leave the Grandpas alone damn it!

[ahamkara-apologist]

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)

[incorrectsibunaquotes]

I don’t think the fandom or even the show itself discusses the fact that the whole concept of the Chosen One is a curse. Anubis cursed Amneris’ bloodline because she stole the Cup of Ankh from the gods.

Not a fan of Jack is the New God but big fan of Chuck didn't realize how big of a threat Jack was, "I can't tell whether you're the chicken or the snake" kind of mistake, a mistake that eventually didn't kill him but de-godified him.

Like I'm creating this theory of mine where basically Jack's help in Cas' resurrection meant the creation of an alternate timeline where Cas could resurrect on his own. Where resurrection was a possibility for everybody without deals and unnecessary suffering. In other words, a timeline where the past doesn't stay dead and death is "just" a gate between dimensions. That would explain why Billie was so pissed. Jack messing up Time would have been chef's kiss for me but real trouble for her.

Jack wasn't just able to open rifts but he could actually create new timelines, new stories and therefore new worlds that God didn't want. And we know God didn't want a world with Castiel in it because of Dean's prayer to him which he refused to answer (I've always wondered why Dean didn't try and pray to Amara, she got him Mary back maybe she was more amenable to a second resurrection?).

Given the high number of actual and symbolical resurrections from s11 onwards (S11 starts with Billie's threat: from now on what is dead stays dead) I think that what really ticked Chuck off was when Jack tries to resurrect Mary. The "Mary Winchester is complete" is Heaven's bullshit. Jack also decides that Lucifer cannot resurrect and that meant problem for Chuck. In Jack's world resurrection is a possibility for all but he also plays God with it and I think that got Chuck really scared.

The moment Jack wants a world with no lies that world happens and, as we know, Chuck is a liar. It's the straw that breaks the camel's back: he has to intervene.

It's then no wonder that this is the moment that leads to the revelation that he's the man behind the curtain and, in a fit of rage, he shows off his power by resurrecting all the dead the "wrong" way (zombies, ghosts, demons, etc) and starts erasing other "drafts" aka other stories/worlds. He decides what dies and what stays dead, that is his domain. Because if there's somebody else who can create new worlds where resurrection is an option then it means he has no power nor control in those worlds where new stories can happen and the past is never past.

Of course what I'm saying is far too revolutionary for any TV shows, voluntary resurrection is something our brain doesn't even want to entertain (although they did show us a character doing just that). So in the end Cas dies (and then sort of resurrects again but I wonder in what form and how), Dean dies and chooses not to be resurrected (but it's very much clear he's not complete) and Sam plays along the laws of the natural order so he dies too and he stays that way.
