can't believe i haven't seen anyone else say this yet-- my first thought regarding the blade around happily ever after's neck was that it was a sort of symbolic wedding ring. the pristine blade is often transferred around as a representative of trust-- you take it because you don't trust the princess; you give it to her because you do. its total absence in the wraith represents the total lack of trust that lead you there, and the blade's role in the thorn route is obvious. there's much to be said about the blade's symbolism in HEA but suffice to say that she starts with it to represent your "union" and the narrator stating that it's on a golden chain reinforces that

I will never get tired of posting these so I'm sorry (not sorry) but here is an amazing colored version of the fanart of Damen and Laurent! It's beautiful, I love the red on Damen, the blue on Laurent, the expression on Damen's face, the way Laurent is holding the pen---it's all fantastic! I love the line drawing but the color just pops. It's so amazing!

compilation of damen “my wife is a bitch and i like him so much” moments i clipped/highlighted during my first reading. it may seem that damen is professing dislike for laurent in some of these, but i'm certain that in books 2&3 he'd write the insults in glitter gel pen with little hearts in the margins. he enables laurent's evil zoomies (usually to the detriment of everyone else around them) with equal parts affection and horrified fascination. damen knows his dog will bite everyone in a ten foot radius, but still takes him to the park unleashed because the foul beast needs enrichment. he posts pictures of laurent terrorizing the neighborhood on instagram and describes them as #cute in the caption. if anyone tries to suggest otherwise they are blocked on sight.

honorable mention to this quote from book 1 which doesn't quite fit the theme but still made me laugh very hard:

damen has a vigorous multi-step skin and hair routine that he takes very seriously and he’s sure laurent has one too so he’s very excited when laurent sleeps over for the first time because it means they can be cute and do it together 🥰 but all laurent does is splash water on his face and then dive under the bed covers and damen has to clutch the bathroom sink to keep from fainting. his eye twitches for the rest of the night.
