Someone told me that OFC meant "Of Fucking Course" so I took the logical route and drew a comic. (It doesn't mean that, it can't be shortened to OC)

Once again thinking of some of wording in HNOC

“the girl Morgause grew into a sharp young man who chose his name as Mordred.”

“for nothing went to waste among the Saxons.”

“We’ll walk beneath the rusted sky”

So, trying to wrap my head around it all.

The lesson learnt here was ‘Do the risk, but tell the group first.’ Which is interesting because I did not understand that as the source of the issue.

I thought the source was letting hubris take flight and going after a larger power that one felt like they ‘deserved.’

Ashton felt he deserved the fire shard because of his family history with the hishari and the tragedy that marred him for the rest of his life. BH seemed to have a problem with this hubris and ignoring the (obvious to some) signs that the power didn’t ‘belong’ to him.

Which directly relates to Imogen and Laudna’s hubris. Imogen believes it’s her destiny/power etc to pursue the red moon and control that magic, while Laudna has leaned into her patron for the power she can provide. These powers can destroy them but they feel like they can and will control them. This relates because it is pm Ashton’s whole deal.

Power that relates to them: power that they can control and is thus theirs.

Ashton even mentions that the Witches’ idea that Fearne deserves the fire shard because of her natural power and the power of her biological parents is the same flawed line of thinking as him, but they seemingly ignore that, implying that hubris/power grabbing is not the ladies' main concern.

So the signs that I thought were leading to ‘do not think that this strange power is for you just because you think you can control it’ became ‘control the power, but tell the group that you’re going to do it first.’

I believe Ashton sees the disparity, but Imogen and Laudna do not (not sure about the rest of the party.) And that’s why Ashton said ‘it could have been any one of us’ because the lesson they took from this was still to take the risks.

Which is interesting because it implies if Ashton told the group what he wanted, they would have been semi okay with it, even if it led to Ashton dying or almost dying.

I also think it’s interesting because hubris always goes well in a dangerous situation (sarcasm.) Imogen is very quickly sliding down a slippery slope of pradathos’ powers and relying more on sneaking into her friend’s minds to control the situations around them (her words were more specifically ‘If I knew what Ashton was planning I could have stopped it’) which still does not insinuate communication and trust in the group, just an invasion of privacy and control.

Laudna’s lines of herself and Delilah are becoming more blurred, and while Laudna is scared, she also has leaned into this power as well, even comming up with plans if it becomes too much (for Imogen to kill her)

But both of these are ‘okay’ with the group because they have told the group.

Note that they have not *discussed* it with the group, only told them. Whether or not the group feels okay with these certain growths in power and hubris we do not know. I think Orym has certain feelings about it, and as mentioned I think Ashton does too now that they’ve been humbled significantly, but whether either of them speak up about it… Well Ashton has illuded to it and Orym’s goal is to keep the group together long enough to subdue the threat/ complete their missions.

So overall, the lesson that the majority of BH understood was ‘tell the group before doing the risky thing.’ Which while I was surprised and a bit disappointed, I also recognize that it is extremely in line for this group. I think will have some consequences for not being ‘don’t let hubris tell you that the power was made for you.’ and I think their communication needs to improve over all (not just Telling the group before something goes awry, but letting it be a discussion) but at least they understand to talk to one another before something explodes (like with FCG going murderbot this last ep)

TLDR: The lesson that BH took away from their therapy session was ‘do the risk, but tell the group’ which will have major consequences.

“The pills added a slight haze to her vision, the empty road ahead felt like it might never end and the warm night wind sent frissons over her skin. She took a drag as the speedometer read well over eighty. The smoke felt thick in her mouth and she convinced herself it tasted sweet. Rust's hand was extended toward her in her peripheral, a silent request. She passed him the cigarette their fingers lingered in mid-air. Her eyes flicked to his and a nauseating deja vu pooled in her gut as she watched his lips connect and pull smoke into his mouth. “You would smoke spirits.” He exhaled offering it back to her. Nace rolled her eyes at his remark, judgment clouded she gave in to the moment. Holding his gaze she leaned into his outstretched hand and inhaled. Her lips softly grazing the tips of his fingers still pinched around the filter. She leaned back, eyes facing forward and exhaled slowly. It was probably the pills but she coulda sworn she saw the corner of his mouth upturn slightly. She took the cig after he’d had another pull, Rust didn’t ask for it again the rest of the drive and she didn’t offer.”

Out of genuine curiousity, if a genie lets you go to ancient rome and slap anybody, who are you slapping? (Personally Brutus because he's SO annoying and stupid like me)

Augustus, like it’s not even a question I’m climbing through the windows to his house and I’m wearing the clunkiest rings I own for this one
