I love him sm

Look how pretty they are

"I’ll tear your family friendly ass to bits!"

"I’d like to see you fucking try!"

Oop they fightin

Vanny finds this very entertaining, meanwhile Nightmare Moon is making sure Seductive Rose doesn’t try to tear Audrey apart.

So this is something I’ve been thinking about since OoO, but I kept my mouth shut on it since people weren’t up for hearing Mors character analyses (honestly a sizable chunk of the fan base still doesn’t, part of why I moved away from Twitter lol). But anyways, back on track.

Mors and the Seductive Rose parallel each other. In OoO, they’re both portrayed as powerful, destructive beings who indiscriminately use violence as a means to an end—with the exception of one character (for SR it’s Xiphos, for Mors it’s Korina). They both end up pushing away their loved ones— but while Mors eventually chooses to apologize and make amends with Korina, SR continues on the path of violence against his brother’s wishes. Their stories are meant to be two sides of the same coin, in a sense.

Now onto the episode of Korina’s Origin that originally spurred this: Zeratino. Here we see an exchange between Thanatos and SR, where Thanatos reveals that his fate was supposed to be different. Xiphos was supposed to die, and Zeratino was supposed to move on from that and end up becoming a kind and compassionate leader. (Sounds an awful lot like what happened with Thanatos’ death and the ending of Mors’ POV in OoO, doesn’t it?) However, Zeratino instead goes to Hera, who circumvents fate and prevents Xiphos’ death, turning both of the brothers into her weapons of war.

Now this may be a stretch, but Xiphos needing to die for Zeratino to become a better person sounds a lot like the fate that Atropos had for Thanatos. And just like with Xiphos, the fates of Thanatos and Mors were changed, though that makes me wonder what the cost would be…
