Memento Mori. Remember that you will die. It was meant to be an invitation for merriment, to seize each moment as if it were one’s last, as if tomorrow were not guaranteed, even for slow-aging Vanir.

One good thing about Lunathion basically being Ancient Rome is the philosophy of the stoics and Marcus Aurelius somehow snuck in and as someone with chronic anxiety the concept of Memento Mori really does help put things into perspective in like a calming way.

Hunt and Bryce getting horny at the shooting range Hunting Wives style

[senu102929]

Tbh Bryce and Hunt's conversation after questioning Briggs felt a little TOO similar to Feysand dialogue from ACOMAF to the point where it almost felt...recycled?

"I see you" "You are NOT as bad as them" Kinda irks me because I wish we would stop comparing or casting judgement on others, it's not a competition and you're allowed to not like someone for reasons other than they are "bad" and you are "good", plus Hunt and Briggs/the humans are all slaves so I feel like they should get a moral free pass tbh until they're free they're kinda just trying to survive or gain their own liberation.

Otherwise I'm really liking HOEAB, this was the first time something felt reused like this.

THANK YOU HUNT FOR ASKING WHAT WE WERE ALL THINKING "Were you and Danika lovers?"

The fact that this line is even in here, SJM KNOWS that Danika and Bryce are sapphic as hell and I'm just glad this is actually acknowledged by the narrative.

"The royal bloodline ends with you" and Ruhn is stressing like do I die or am I infertile, no babe. You're a homosexual.

I'd seen the "my friends are with me and I am not afraid" quote on instagram and wondered where it came from

Now I wish I didn't know
