Status Updates From Masters of Death

Both duos are causing me so much heartbreak

“But, if Fox is to be believed, then it isn't the worst thing to meet an end.
To have lived is, as he tells it, reward enough in itself.
(But, of course, he's full of shit, so-)
(Chances are, he's lying.)”

"Don't they already know?" Fox asked. "Omnipotence and all that."
"Omniscience," Death corrected, "and sure, they technically might know, but who can keep track of everything that one knows when one already knows everything?"

"I," Fox replied, "am Fox D'Mora, and I am a mortal who was raised by Death. I'm a man who has loved, and been loved, by a god. I have been guided by an angel and protected by a reaper; I have befriended a vampire and a ghost and a demon, too.

It’s giving breakfast club lol

"It has one rule," Fox corrected him bluntly.
"Yes," Brandt agreed. "But for you, I will gladly break it."

Stop it 🥺😭

"Immortality is empty without you," Brandt told him, hoping for once in his stubborn, impossible life that Fox D'Mora would listen to him. "Eternal youth is nothing, Fox,
without you-"

Ahhhh everybody stay calm 😭

"No, godling, I would not believe you capable. You are a thief as surely as I am a queen."
"More so, even," he said, "as I at least manage a full calendar year in my profession."

Damn he really did Persephone like that lol 😂

"Mayra," Gabriel sighed, "do you believe us to be idiots?"
"I do," she replied. "Is that relevant?"

lol 😂

“More importantly, though, you must know yourself better than your opponent.”

Uh oh it’s gonna be Brandt 😟

“Understand a person's heart, what makes them soft and what makes them hard, and find the source of their materials.”

"And then?" Fox asked.
Death shrugged. "Then drive it in them like a knife."

“nothing but this, the feeling of knowing that there was winning and losing and living and coming to understand only moments before she crashed into the mirrored surface of the tide below that living and being alive were not even remotely the same.”

"He's clever enough to know how to make use of something better than its owner can, and then, somehow, he makes it his.”

Is he talking about him and his heart 🥺

“"Why does that sound more like a curse than a blessing?"
"Because, gudssonn," the goddess sighed, cupping her hand around his cheek as she brushed a finger down the book's spine. "Like all things an immortal bestows, it is a little bit of both."”

Viola and Tom are EVERYTHING... they are genuinely so cute 😭
