Skull presented to Sarah Bernhardt by Victor Hugo, c. 1877

It was inscribed with verses on the theme of death that he had composed in her honor:

Squelette, qu'as tu fait de l'àme? Lampe, qu'as tu fait de la flame? Cage déserte, qu'as tu fait? De ton bel oiseau qui chantait? Volcan, qu'as tu fait de la lave? Qu'as tu fait de ton maître, esclave?

.

Skeleton, what have you done with the soul? Lamp, what have you done with the flame? ...

Ophelia, Sarah Bernhardt, 1880

[from-a-spiders-web]

Oh, What's That in the Hollow, 1893 Edward Robert Hughes

“Oh what is that glides quickly where velvet flowers grow thickly, Their scent comes rich and sickly?”—“A scaled and hooded worm.” “Oh what’s that in the hollow, so pale I quake to follow?”    “Oh that’s a thin dead body which waits the eternal term.” Amor Mundi, Christina Rossetti

Ophelia: Isn't it weird how quiet it is? Ophelia: It feels like I forgot something. Amleth: If you forgot something, maybe it wasn't important. Natasha and Cerberus standing in the parking lot of a McDonalds, waiting for the Duke to come pick them up:

It's a real shame all of Memento Mori's character stuff are in the songs, because Amleth and Ophelia have a really gay ass engaging storyline that will never be developed outside said songs

Congratulations to codependent bodyguard arrangement!

The identity of Two Swords, One Oath is...

Amleth and Ophelia from Memento Mori!

Thank you @canislupus-13 for your submission!

S12 Round 2

Two Swords, One Oath

cw: suicide mention

Character A is a queen who only became one because her predecessors were tyrants and Character B Is her most loyal knight and closest childhood friend. When A ascended the throne the two of them promised to kill each other should they stray from their paths by exchanging their swords. A feels guilty about pushing B into this and B agreed to the oath because it would let her stay by A's side.

When B was taken over by sinister magic while trying to protect A the only thing that allowed her to not lose her mind were thoughts of A. (Also the magic used A's voice to try and convince her to give in.) A however, knowing she would likely have to fulfill her side of the promise to stop the calamity caused by the magic, vowed to kill herself after she did it. Thankfully it never came to that as she found a way to free B from the thing controlling her.

A and B both love each other, a lot. A considers this love to be the reason why she managed to do all that she did as she says to B an unspecified amount of time after the freeing.

codependent bodyguard arrangement

Since childhood, Prince and Guard were raised together. Prince was groomed to be his father's heir while Guard would be his loyal protector. They have a magical bond that lets them feel each other's emotions which made them absolutely inseparable to the point where as kids caretakers had to pick them both up at the same time so they wouldn't cry.

When they were fifteen their court was attacked and the two of them were the only survivors. Guard is extremely protective of Prince and to him nothing matters more than his safety. Guard wanted to go with Prince despite a prophecy that he would die if he went because he NEEDED to watch Prince's back. It's said at one point that Guard would have been fine if a whole building collapsed and killed everyone in it so long as Prince could make it out okay. Prince on the other hand is fully aware Guard would die for him and under NO circumstances is he letting that happen. Prince's boyfriend told him that he's aware he'll never be the love of Prince's life because that spot belongs to Guard. They're like two stray cats you can't adopt separately. Also they (and the rest of their found family) have adopted like five kids between them.

You can't clearly define their relationship. Not platonic not romantic not siblings but also all of those at once. They are just soooo obsessed and in love.

Memento Mori by Chie Yoshii

[ask-the-ikea-au]

Actor.... This won't bring back Celine.... Just leave them, it's rotten work.

       Time seemed to stop as the words painted crimson wrote themselves upon the airs of the void. Everything was still, still for just a heartbeat as the Actor’s eyes read over those accursed words. The only calm before the storm was the single hitched breath of a man so bolded in his hubris. That was the only calm.

       Something in those words made the Actor snap. With a slam of his cane a thunderclap so loud it made the guardian’s ears ring echoed forth across the void. Cracks like ice snapped from the impact and zig-zagged glowing red across the pitch black floor. 

       “DO NOT-” The Executioner threw a pointed finger towards the words like a damning note, “DO NOT BRING CELINE INTO THIS. DO NOT MENTION HER NAME.”

      The air of the void roiled in rage, crimson near tangible in swirls of anger around the man. It was an unbelievable fury that shattered his cocky façade, leaving the mask of a composed man in the dirt.

      “YOU! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MENTION HER! This is not about her anymore and YET YOU DARE BRING HER INTO THIS! How COULD you, HOW-”

       “YOU!”

       A bellow from behind the three figures in the void seemed to shake the walls around them all. They all whipped in that direction to see a figure silhouetted against a black and white swirl of a portal, clutching a sword in her hands. Mem and Mori, previously trembling relaxed tenfold at the sight. The Actor could not get a good look at the new arrival before they jetted forwards. 

      In an instant the Executioner had a sword-tip against his neck and the fury of the universe staring him in the eyes.

Memento Mori, "To This Favour", William Michael Harnett , 1879, Cleveland Museum of Art: American Painting and Sculpture

The Latin term memento mori describes a traditional subject in art that addresses mortality. In Harnett’s example, the extinguished candle, spent hourglass, and skull symbolize death. A quote from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, inscribed on the inside cover of a tattered book, reinforces the theme. It comes from the play’s famed graveyard scene where Hamlet discovers a skull and grimly ponders his beloved Ophelia, ironically unaware that she is already dead. The "paint" in the quote not only refers to Ophelia’s makeup, but also wittily evokes the artifice of Harnett’s picture. Size: Framed: 77.9 x 98.4 x 8.6 cm (30 11/16 x 38 3/4 x 3 3/8 in.); Unframed: 61.3 x 81.5 cm (24 1/8 x 32 1/16 in.) Medium: oil on canvas

Pumpkin Carving Messes

Wanda Maximoff Masterlist

Summary: Pumpkin carving is a messy occasion, there’s no doubt about that. A certain witch manages to make it a little messier, but more fun in the end. 

Word Count: 834, short and fluffy

A/N: Thought I’d get some fluffy halloween stuff out before Memento Mori 

The smell of pumpkin filled the kitchen, as did the mess caused by pumpkin carving inside. Wanda had wanted to do it outside, but after the storm, she changed her mind. The wet leaves remained outside, getting coated by more and more rain.  Instead, you’d helped her set up your dining table to pumpkin carve for your kids.

They were more excited than either of you had anticipated. It had resulted in a pumpkin fight where they both threw the guts of their pumpkin at each other. Your wife’s powers made quick work of the mess, but there were still large chunks everywhere.

“Look at mine!” Your daughter held up her pumpkin excitedly. Her eyes a mirror of Wanda’s, she looked up at you in excitement.

The carving on it was of a character from Monsters University, Mike Wasowski. It looked adorable, you couldn’t resist asking her if you could take a picture. To which she happily agreed. Your wife took a picture of your son, intending to send the pictures of the twins to the rest of the team.

You laughed and told them to go set the pumpkins outside while you cleaned up inside. Wanda wrapped her arms from behind you while you cleaned the table. A large grin covered your face as you continued cleaning, leaning back into the familiar touch.

“This was fun,” Wanda whispered, brown hair falling on your shoulder as she watched you clean. You hummed and slid one hand on top of hers. Her fingers drew gentle patterns on the outside of your fluffy sweater.

“You’re not cleaning.” You commented. She laughed, remaining by you while removing chunks of pumpkin from your hair. You reached up to try to take it out for yourself. The witch lightly slapped your hand away, adamant about helping you.

“Now I’m cleaning.” Wanda quipped, a smile on her face as she glanced up at you.

You chuckled and moved to the trash can to throw away the wipe you’d been using. The witch followed you like a lost puppy, still removing pumpkin from your hair. You turned around, the small of your back resting against the front of the counter as you faced your wife.

Wanda grinned at you, her hands carding through your hair gently. It was a motion she did so often you barely registered it, melting into the comfort of it. The redhead chuckled and leaned in for a kiss.

Just before she could, the twins came in through the door. They shivered, cold as they approached both of you. Wanda instantly pulled away before scooping both of them onto the counter.

“Mommy!” Daughter/name squealed as your wife tickled her. The little girl squirmed, trying to getaway. You chuckled and finished cleaning up.

“Can we have hot chocolate?” Son/name asked, looking up at you with puppy eyes. You hesitated, wanting to say no since they already had hot chocolate in the morning.

“Please, it’s the perfect weather.” Your daughter begged, mocking your wife from earlier. She even gestured to the rain outside like Wanda had. Wanda laughed and turned to you, scooping the little girl in her arms.

“It wouldn’t hurt.” Wanda looked to you. You sighed and nodded, agreeing. Choruses of victory echoed through your house. Your wife told them to go pick out a movie while she helped you with the hot chocolate, wanting more time alone with you.

The twins were one of the best things in her life. She would do anything for either of them. But god, they took so much time away from both of you, you couldn’t remember the last time you had a date night.

Though, you were planning a secret one the day after Halloween. You were planning on taking them to Clint’s house to play with Lila and Cooper while you had a date night. Both of you loved spending time with your children, but you needed just a few hours alone with your wife. 

Unfortunately, you hadn’t been discreet enough about this.

“Just a few more days till date night,” Wanda said, leaning against the counter while you got the ingredients for hot chocolate. At your surprised gasp and confused expression, she chuckled.

“You’re not as discreet as you think you are.” She commented, patting your shoulder jokingly. You laughed and whacked her hand away, getting the hot chocolate ready.

Wanda played some music, just sounding over the voices of the twins talking about which movie to pick. She hugged your waist from behind, swaying from side to side gently. You chuckled, protesting at first in fear of making another mess. But Wanda used her powers to keep in under control while dancing with you.

The soft music filled the room as you danced with your wife. Your arms wrapped around her waist while hers wrapped around your neck, foreheads resting together. You could hear the twins talking from the other room, everything felt so peaceful.

Pumpkin carving had been better than you had expected, much better.

OK MY TURN FOR A SAPPY POST-

So the stream has started already and man. This is really it, huh? This year has passed so fast and so slow at the same time. At the very start I thought we had all the time in the world. 365 days seems like forever. But it really isn't, it's a year. And that year has come to an end here.

It's been a rough year for me. I will admit that. I've struggled a lot personally and I still am. But this channel has really helped me through it all. Every day at 3pm EST I've come to this channel and I've been greeted with a new video. A new adventure. Most of the time it's been incredible. Other times it's been. Uh... Interesting, to say the least. (Looking at you, Pee Sauna and Experiencing the Miracle of Birth-)

But really, it's been such an incredible journey. I've met so many people and made such great friends. I've had so many incredible times over the past year. I also would like to thank @gemstone6 , Ophelia, for making the IKEA au with me. Two days after the channel started, even! It's so cool! Mem, Mori, and Una and this whole story are so incredibly near and dear to my heart. And it's been such an honor to build up these stories and characters with you! It's been an honor <3

I'm really not the best at words, but I hope this got the point across. I'm so thankful this happened. I'm so thankful I was here for it. Its been such an adventure and I'm so happy I was able to watch along with all of you. I love you guys so much, it's been a pleasure.

Unus Annus, Memento Mori.

I'll see you at the end.

[indic0lite]

Memento Mori, Ophelia.
