Memento Mori - Blog Posts

Love is wishing that your lover died before you so they don't have to go through the pain of losing you.

Love is wishing that your lover lives longer than you so they can experience more of what life has to offer them

Memento mori.

I have been here since day one, and was here at the end.

I am an Unus, but also a seeker of the mythical Gongoozler, and a loyal believer in the legendary Heehoo.

I will butter my bread with the spice of life.

I will hold the Disclamer Song and Dance of Italy forever close to my heart.

This channel inspired me. Influenced me. Encouraged me to have a little fun every now and then.

I taught my dog to play dead by shouting "BANG" at him, training him with treats. I will happily admit my dog did better than Chica and Spencer, unfortunately for them.

I learned a secret, touchless handshake. Hopefully one day, I'll run into another who can do the handshake with me.

I freely wrote my own poetry after listeing to your beautiful Mac and Cheese song.

On my birthday, Mark and Ethan were crushed by 170+ pound snakes, of which only enforced my love for gentle reptiles.

I happily bought the merch, the only physical memories we're truly allowed to keep.

And in the final stream, I dressed up for the occasion. Just as they asked.

I had been there since day one, and was there at the very end.

Thank you for the memories Mark, Ethan, Amy, the whole lovely crew and editors.

This was a tough year to push through, and you were all amazing in carrying out the whole year with such determination and vigor.

This channel was one of my beautiful, silly, inspiring bright lights during quarantine. Yet, even though I find it now snuffed out, I know I will be able to keep pushing forward without it.

So much good came out of this channel, and I hope y'all understand that.

Here I hold the memory of the beginning, the memory of the end.

Memento mori.

Unus annus.

I'll see you on the other side.

This is our finale goodbye...

(I might draw a better one later)

goodbye Unus Annus you gave us the best year that you could ever give us

#we were here

My favorite quotes from the stream (as I was able to jot them down as they were being said)

Don’t cry because it’s over. Cry because it happened.

What is a graveyard if not humanity’s hall of fame?

It’s like I’m fondling the balls of life.

Choose to spend time on what fulfills you, on what makes you happy… Every second is a chance to turn your life around.

When I die, I want to be an empty shell, having given every part of myself to creating.

The worst part of this was when the boiling hot piss shot out onto my foot.

No, that was pain; this is suffering. (technically from the pee sauna vid but they watched it during the stream it counts)

At the end of the day, you know: pizza’s pizza, piss is piss.

We have experienced something that no human ever has, and that’s incredible.

We’re not just two grown men who drank each other’s piss. We’re two grown men who bathed in each other’s piss.

How you respond to events that are out of your control defines you as a person.

Unus annus dot com: hey hey, wow wow.

I feel like a lot of people will feel lost tomorrow. And that’s okay.

It had to be a piece of us that we put out there… and then let go.

A year is many things to many people. But it is not forever.

“Memento Mori” has two meanings: remember death or remember that you will die, but also remember to live.

Edit: I have been told in the notes that I missed some absolute gems, so here’s a more complete list!

I’d cry myself to sleep if I wasn’t gonna be dead in five and a half hours.

Every second is just another chance to get dick.

Mark: I’ve never been hit by a car before, how do I know I won’t enjoy it? Amy: We could take this out to the parking lot if you want to test it.

I want to be Mr. Hybrid Wellness, now.

We’ve been edging Father Time for a whole year.

Shot out the load that contained Tony Stark. What a profound man.

I wanna make it through this year and it kills me.

Bald Ethan was a special type of chaotic.

Listen. I have nothing to say to you.

We can’t see the stars, but we know they are there.

It’s like you’re lying in your death bed surrounded by your family.

Every fart is a chance to take with love.

We made a cry box.

Ethan: Does that stem from something? Mark: Survival instinct.

Tired, sad, and a little tipsy.

Evan, your fursona has to be a bear. I’m sorry, but rules are rules.

You ever heard of Halloween?

The Unus Annus way: not quite what we wanted.

Just because we’re gone doesn’t mean you have to forget about it.

A second is nothing. But a second can change someone’s life.

It’s time.

Day 363/365: “The Unus Annus Annual Sleepover”

The last episode. My final livestream is tomorrow, be ready.⏳⌛️

Tomorrow: goodbye

Y’know what still gets me?

This, right here.

All in the same final moment, experiencing the same final event, yet each focused on something different.

Amy looking at the channel about to be deleted, making sure the cursor is properly placed.

Ethan looking at the clock, making sure it happens at just the right moment.

And Mark, as always, holding his gaze toward the camera, wordlessly bidding a final farewell.

One eye on the cursor.

One eye on the clock.

One eye on the camera.

All eyes on the screen...

As it goes black.

What a year.

For anyone trying to decode this first thing its backwards and the code is called the babington cipher. But I have no idea what it says yet.

I'll just post this quietly here...

I gave up on this 2 years ago and then my phone broke with the files inside

I sent this to a friend in PM, bad quality and notes for me. And this is the only thing that survived🫡

IN WHICH YOUR LIFE NEVER MATTERED SO WHO CARES IF ITS A WASTE

I figured here of all places would be the best to share the best photos I’d gotten during my Depeche Mode concert :) camera quality isn’t great and I apologize for that but I still think they’re gorgeous and amazing memories!

Yo! This is the last day! It's the anniversary of Unus Annus!

THE LAST DAY!!! LAST VIDEO!!!

They're streaming today at 3pm est!

I just wanted to say thank you @unusannus for making this shitty year a bit better and to everyone who worked on the channel, you are amazing, appreciated, and I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

“It’s just a burning memory.”

An experimental study into the fading and distortion of memories over many years. And of course, what else than the inevitable fate of Unus Annus?

Explanation under the cut:

Mémento mori, Unus Annus my friends

Memento Mori Unus Annus.

Its been a great year and while i haven't seen or read everything yet but you all have been through so much and that really inspires me. Ive spent time trying to catch up but the moments you have shared are really helping me and I will try to do better this ending year.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Some frames from my Unus Annus Tribute

Memento Mori,

Unus Annus.

It’s really gone.

The channel brought me a lot of joy and I’ve finally hit that stage of acceptance that it’s really going to be gone and it’s really giving me a sense of realism, death is not preventable and our lives are measured in memories so we need to make as many as we can and cherish the time that we have left, death will be like a hug finally laying you down to sleep after a lifetime of memories of joy and some loss, a life of everything, but that’s what makes us human.

Can’t wait for my laptop to explode when the Unus Annus channel gets deleted. OH- Actually maybe Mark and Ethan will crawl through the screen and just yeet me through a window, like bunt kick me out ya know. Like whack, gone.
