City of Blood snippet-thing
(City of Blood is the working title for the next 'book' of Runed, the one that comes after City of Knives.)
“And this is the heart of the Gard,” their guide said, and pushed open a pair of black doors emblazoned with the Clave’s quadruple-C symbol in gold.
Inside was a coliseum; tiers of high-backed chairs, row after row of them climbing to a dizzying height. The ceiling soared higher still, walls of mirror-smooth black marble giving way to a fresco of Jonathan Shadowhunter and the angel Raziel. The first Shadowhunter’s agelai-to-be surrounded them, armoured like fairytale knights, kneeling with heads bowed to Raziel’s glory. Directly beneath them, the first circle of chairs mirrored them: straight down from a woman with the Morgenstern stars on her fallen shield was a seat with the same stars set into the back in adamas. Simon turned in a slow circle, searching for familiar symbols, and found the Fairchild chair, the Lightwood one with its flame in yellow and red gold, even Wayland’s silver—or platinum?—horseshoe, all on the first row closest to the floor.
The seats of the High Houses.
Their guide was talking, but Simon wasn’t listening. He kept scanning the chairs, wondering how different the room would feel if it was full, if the heads of the Houses would hate him or revere him, want him put down or crowned or married off and making lots of little Morgensterns for the war effort. He quickly ran out of House insignia he recognised: here was a lion with a shining mane, there a hammer, there a bare-branched tree, and he had no idea which families any of them belonged to.
He waited until what sounded like a pause in the discussion, then interjected, “What’s up with the covered chairs?”
Somewhere between a third and a half of the seats were hidden under heavy white cloth, which made Simon think of empty houses, abandoned places. The fabric was silk or something, he was willing to bet, but still, it undercut the air of grandeur the room was going for.
The pause before she answered was short, but heavy, and Simon was turning to look at her as she stammered, paler than she had been a minute ago, “Those are the seats of the fallen.”
Fallen like in battle? Or Fallen, like fallen angels? Had the Morgenstern chair been under a cloth like that until a few months ago? Or—
“As in, gone,” Isabelle said, because she knew him too well. She made a grand, sweeping gesture taking in the whole room, but there was no laughter in it. “Behold the Houses that are no longer with us. Dead to the last daughter.”
White. White cloth. White for mourning, mourning the fallen, and Simon flinched despite himself, because he might not want to be here but he didn’t want this, either, this many Shadowhunters dead and gone, not just individuals but whole lineages. And he wouldn’t have been so flippant if he’d known.
So the Morgenstern chair had been covered, until not long ago. The Fairchild one, too.
He wished they still were.

Unlocking the Mysteries: Divination for Beginner Witches🔮✨🖤
Tumblr media
(GIF not mine!!)
Divination is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown through various methods. It’s a way of connecting with your inner wisdom, the universe, or spiritual forces to gain insight and guidance. While some see it as predicting the future, many view it as a tool for introspection and understanding the present.
Why Do We Practice Divination?
Gain Clarity: Divination helps clarify confusing or difficult situations, providing insights that may not be immediately obvious.
Make Decisions: It can assist in making informed decisions by highlighting potential outcomes and factors to consider.
Connect Spiritually: It fosters a deeper connection with your intuition, spiritual guides, or higher self.
Self-Discovery: Divination often reveals inner thoughts and feelings, aiding in personal growth and self-awareness.
Prepare for the Future: While it doesn’t predict the future in absolute terms, divination can highlight trends and energies that might influence future events.
Popular Methods of Divination
Tarot Cards
What It Is: A deck of 78 cards, each with symbolic imagery and meanings, used to gain insights into various aspects of life.
How to Use: Shuffle the deck while focusing on your question, then draw cards and interpret their meanings based on their positions and your intuition.
Oracle Cards
What It Is: Similar to tarot, but typically with fewer cards and more flexible themes, often focusing on specific guidance or affirmations.
How to Use: Shuffle and draw cards as with tarot, focusing on the guidance you seek. The meanings are usually simpler and more direct.
Pendulum Dowsing
What It Is: A weighted object, often a crystal, suspended from a chain or string, used to answer yes/no questions based on its movements.
How to Use: Hold the pendulum steady and ask a question. Observe the direction it swings (e.g., clockwise for yes, counterclockwise for no).
Runes
What It Is: Small stones or pieces of wood inscribed with ancient symbols, each representing different energies or concepts.
How to Use: Draw runes from a bag while focusing on your question, then interpret their meanings and how they relate to your query.
Scrying
What It Is: Gazing into a reflective surface like a crystal ball, mirror, or bowl of water to receive visions or impressions.
How to Use: Sit quietly and gaze into the surface, letting your mind relax and observe any images, shapes, or messages that appear.
Tea Leaf Reading (Tasseography)
What It Is: Interpreting the patterns left by tea leaves in a cup to gain insights.
How to Use: Drink a cup of loose-leaf tea, leaving a small amount of liquid and leaves. Swirl the cup, then look at the patterns formed by the leaves and interpret their meanings.
How to Carry Out Divination Safely
1. Create a sacred space
Prepare Your Area: Ensure your divination space is quiet, clean, and free from distractions. Light a candle or some incense to set a calming atmosphere.
Protective Circle: Consider casting a protective circle or saying a protective prayer to safeguard your energy.
2. Set a Clear Intention
Focus Your Mind: Be clear about what you want to know or explore. State your intention or question aloud or silently before you begin.
3. Ground and Center Yourself
Stay Balanced: Take a few deep breaths, visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth, and feel grounded and centered.
4. Respect the Process
Be Open and Respectful: Approach divination with an open mind and respect for the process. Avoid trying to force specific answers.
5. Interpreting Responsibly
Use Intuition and Logic: Interpret messages using both your intuition and logical thinking. Remember that divination often highlights potentialities, not certainties.
Avoid Scary Predictions: Refrain from making alarming or ominous predictions. Divination should empower and guide, not frighten.
6. Conclude and Close the Session
Thank and Release: Once finished, thank any spiritual guides or energies you’ve called upon. Gently say, “Thank you for your guidance. This session is now closed.”
Put Away Tools: Store your divination tools in a safe and respectful place, and cleanse them occasionally to remove residual energy.
7. Ground Again
Rebalance Your Energy: After the session, ground yourself again by eating a small snack or holding a grounding stone like hematite.
8. Journal Your Insights
Record Your Experience: Write down your question, the divination method used, and the insights gained. This helps track patterns and deepen your understanding over time.
Final Thoughts
Divination is a wonderful practice that can enrich your witchcraft journey and provide valuable insights into your life and the world around you. As you explore different methods, you’ll discover what resonates with you the most and develop your unique approach to seeking wisdom and guidance.
Happy divining! 🌙✨🔮

Hi, yeah I feel like Icarus has a bad habit of biting at their nails whenever a situation is like. Rlly bad. And to try and help them not do it so badly in early s1/s2 Centross would (poorly. Very poorly) paint their nails so they bit at the nail polish and not their nails themself. In s3 after Centross’ ascension, they would try to paint their nails but couldn’t bc of how shaky their hands were until Ven saw them trying to paint their nails and failing, so Ven painted their nails for him. And then Icarus would spend hours looking at how cleanly Ven painted their nails and get slightly upset due to how vastly different they were to how Centross would paint them

Okay I have to yell about Koleda Belobog Zenless Zone Zero because I feel like I love her in a very specific way that I haven’t seen a lot of people talk about. More under the cut because I have,,, so many thoughts.
Tumblr media
Koleda is such a good portrayal of someone who struggles with their perception as an adult. A pretty easy conclusion to make with the first thing she usually says on the character select screen being “Hey, don’t look down on me!”, but it definitely goes a lot deeper the more you spend time with her. Specifically, she seems to struggle in her perception of herself as someone much more mature than her younger peers, but still not on the same level as the adults in similar positions of power as her. I kinda. Hate zenless for not explicitly stating how old she is, but given she rose to her position at Belobog “when she came of age” (which honestly, I still can’t give a concrete answer to what hoyo means by this? Some searches I found claimed the working age to be 16 in China, I’ve seen others online claim 18 but that’s not reliable. Hoyo I'm begging you put official ages on your characters it's a cool and based practice), she waited for a significant amount of time before taking up her role as president. She is an adult from what the game implies, and a core part of her character is fighting against the constant infantilization she faces due to how she looks.
Tumblr media
Let’s start with her love of desserts (and a honestly this is the reason I started writing this). It’s her most highlighted character trait (it is also the first known attribute in her trust rank profile when you unlock her), and most of her trust events on 6th street revolves around them. Initially, she hesitates in proclaiming her love for them, likely to avoid being perceived as childish.
Her rank 4 trust special event is, admittedly, my favorite, but it’s one of the best breakdowns of this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In order to maintain her image as a mature adult, she uses her position as company president to get around having to request a special dessert drink by name (in her defense, "Sweet Girl Fluffy Marshmallow Lambkin Milk" is an insane mouthful of a product name). At the end of the event she admits that saying its name “wasn’t as bad as she thought”, but her initial kneejerk reaction was a complete rejection of even entertaining the idea of doing something that could put the image she worked so hard to create and maintain at risk. Despite this, she still refuses desserts that aren't tooth-rottingly sweet, even if they are seen as the more mature or "refined" option. It's only around people that she really trusts does she allow this part of herself to be known, because she knows they wouldn't misconstrue this behavior as childish.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also think her perception on the differences between kids and adults is interesting ("thank you agent story quest" we all say in unison). She doesn't ever feel like she fits in with other kids, probably due to all the responsibility she had to take on as the eventual heir to her father's company. But she also holds a vocal distain for many of her adult peers. Her declaration of "When I was younger, I thought the whole world was rotten, trying to make people just as rotten when they grow up." is a reflection of how she struggled to find her place in the world as she was forced to suddenly transition into adulthood, while still trying to understand the actions of the adults around her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her relationship with her father becoming strained contributed significantly to her world outlook as well, and may have caused such a specific distinction of what she deems "the world of adults". I don't want to dive too specifically into that because spoilers and the game is only a few weeks old so. Pin that for another time maybe? It definitely matters in the sense that the loss of her father is the catalyst for the loss of her childhood, but a lot of the specifics in how that affected her are speculative (and I don't wanna get too headcanon-y in this particular post) and she explicitly chooses not to discuss it too in-depth with the proxy (which, girl. Valid). But she's slowly learning to cope with that loss, at least it seems that way by the end of chapter 3. Honestly I could probably find more to add about the agent story in particular, but I would have to replay it to get a better idea.
To me, Koleda Belobog is very solid representation for women who had to grow up too fast, struggle with the perception of being seen as an adult, and hold guilt about indulging in acts that can be perceived as childish by their peers because they never fully got the chance to just be a kid. It truly did resonate with me, and it feels like such a specific "if you know, you know" kind of experience that I don't feel is talked about as much in media, especially with people who identify as female during their youth.
Also, also! I hope they dive in a bit more on how she got/has so much hollow corruption at a young age. Because they imply that she is so short as a result of this hollow corruption. Like that's so damn interesting conceptually and I know they delved on it more in Rina's agent story but. It was more of a mental affliction than a physical one.
Anyway I've been working on this for like 2 days now but that's all I have in terms of like. A canon-compliant character analysis.
TLDR; Koleda is such a perfect example of "God forbid short women exist" and I love her for that. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
