did something this year that i’m incredibly proud of. i’m terrible at self advertising but i think nye is a good enough time to reshare these.

i started most of these poems years ago as a way of processing a big change in perspective of myself and my life and my relationship to my past. i read the books of sorrow and found something in them i really needed to find, and in response decided to carve out my own reality where the people who had hurt me most were held accountable. when the call for the sword logic zine went out many years later, i almost let it pass by even though the first thing i thought of was the hive poems i had made. i’m so glad i had a streak of self confidence. the project coaxed me into a cycle of research, rewriting, joining, revising, and one completely new poem, and for a burnt-out audhd poem-enjoyer who left all my passion and self-trust in college this was a massive step for me. i bit off more than i could chew but i still managed to swallow it, and produce poems that i’m really proud of.

they aren’t perfect. hell they might not even be good. but i gave myself a task and saw it through to completion, despite all the times my worm convinced me i had already failed. idk if anyone else ever took something out of them to keep with themselves, but i hope at least one person understood me and my view of the osmium court siblings. i know i took something from every other piece in the zine, every other artist and writer who contributed their love and knowledge to this project. learned a lot about what i'm capable of, and about how i want to engage with the things i enjoy. i’m forever grateful for the chance that the editor @eiramew took on me, a name who had never before contributed to destiny fanworks (please give her a follow, her art is some of my very favorite; and please give the full zine a read).

here are the hive poems, the other story of the osmium siblings as understood by me.

Early this year I was having slight identity issues, I felt like I didn't understand who I am and why I am the way I am, I searched for answers in philosophy and religion I found them wanting, not for me.

I made some answers of my own which helped, and then something turned a rough idea of my idea of identity into something more solid ( these ideas include more then is listed here but that's not relevant rn) and that was, is MOTHERFUCKING Destiny 2 episode heresy came out and made me think about who I am using sword logic. Made me reread the books of sorrows for the third time this year, made me think about people's nature, and made me realise that whoever I am, no matter what path I carve, nor choices I make, I am me because there are no what ifs or what if I didn't do that, because that's not the path I chose to make, I am and there is no other me, I am me because there is no one else I can be.

to quote Oryx "Aiat: let me be what I am because to be anything else would be fatal."( Books of sorrows Verse 5:6 — aiat, aiat, aiat, aiat, aiat) I am Nathaniel, my nature is wanting to understand, I am who am eternally.

Sword Logic

"The sword binds wielder to victim. It binds life to death. And when the binding is done—the sword remembers."

When the Pyramids Arrived and the Guillotine first dropped, you knew only Light. You believed the Witness and the Darkness to be one and the same. But when the Witness prepared for the Final Shape and the Guillotine was reforged in defense, this time you knew Darkness. This time, as you watched it hang overhead, you understood that the Knife and the Darkness are bound, yet not the same. But now the Witness is gone and a question still remains; what is the hand that tugs at the rope which raises the blade? What grasps the hilt at the sword's other side?

When the Pyramids Arrived and the Guillotine first dropped, you only knew Light. You believed the Witness and the Darkness to be one and the

Eris, Eris, what a name, a name for discord, a name for far cold orbits where no living thing should dare to go. I like this name. Let me give you a gift, Eris. Let me tell you about the power in the logic of the sword: A Shredder or a Boomer is a powerful weapon, but it kills acyclically. You see? It sends out harm and it takes nothing back. The bolt passes away into nothing. A sword, though, a sword is like a bridge, a crossing-point. The sword binds wielder to victim. It binds life to death. And when the binding is done—the sword remembers. When the Boomer's fire has burnt away into axion and neutrino scatter, the sword goes on, hungrier and sharper. Understand that this nightmare logic underpins His nightmare world, and you will see why the ascendant blade has so much power there. Whenever in our passage we find ourselves in need of power—remember that the greatest authority here is a blade made keen by eons of use. This is the world the Hive craves: a universe creased by the edge of the sharpest sword.

Warriors of light.

I see you.

I have lain in silence long enough. I see fit to come into this new realm of… Tumblr. I am sure it will be so easily conquered as anything else has been. While I am sure my revered daughters would be quite apt in teaching me the ways of this strange sorcery, I am determined to learn this on my own.

Come to me now, o’ warlords. I shall tear the inquiries from your chest, and pull apart the seams of your defiance.
