Amity, looking up: "That's. . . that's my girlfriend!"

Gus: "You sure Amity?"

Amity: "Either that or we just felt King's mom."

Gus: "Who here just thought of the Titan with boobs?"

Gus: . . . "Really? I'm the only one?"

Hunter: "Yes!"

Hunter internally: "He must never know."

turning it into a windows 95 logo is also acceptable.

Also Harry’s only spell knocks people’s weapons out of their hands. Percy has a magic sword that automatically returns to his pocket. It’s not close.

Elves (and other long lived fantasy races) as serial monogamists who have set end dates for their marriages; your first marriage contract is set for 50 years, and you can renew it if you're still happy by the end of it- but if not, or if you just want to try something new, you can part ways amicably and move on.

A second marriage is supposed to last longer (you should know what you like now that you've had practice with your first!) but you need a 'cooling off' period between marriages so many people don't get second married until their late 100's or early 200's... and of course you want to match with someone who is also on their second marriage, though 'mixed' marriages do occur. The calculations for the appropriate end date of a marriage based on age and previous status is a complex affair.

In the later stages mixed marriages are less of a problem and often considered ideal- towards the end of one's life one wants a slightly younger partner to be able to take care of them after all. Young enough that they'll have time to find a 'ending' partner of their own once their current spouse has passed, but not so young that they at completely different stages of life. Match makers are much more common for older folks than younger ones for this reason.

Of course this also creates avenues for unique tropes in the elven romantic annals. Star Crossed lovers who found each other when one was near the end and the other was just beginning; remarrying your first partner centuries later as you realize they were what you wanted all along; people coming to the end of their marriage who realize they don't want it to end- but does their partner feel the same???

The complex web of previous marriages this creates in elven societies is also a font for drama, and elves need to keep track of their various step parents and half siblings to avoid crossing family lines- (yet another reason not to date to far outside your age range). Nothing is more awkward than bringing home a new partner only to realize they're your mother's first wife.

I turn to Ares.

I don't like that Daemon Princes get a new true name after they ascend

Like the true name being the groaning whine of a Locust plague or the click-clack of rounds being chambered is all well and good for the Neverborn but Daemon Princes should still have that tie to their former life

After you become a daemon, the first order of business should be destroying any traces of your existence prior to daemonhood. Picking up an alias, slaughtering friends and family, orbital bombarding records, etc.

Imagine an Inquisitor throwing everything from table salt to nukes at an ultra powerful Daemon prince but in the end, its undoing was the elderly mother that it was never able to track down

so there will be two kinds of daemons
