Crystals It Works Well With: Ametrine, Citrine, and Moonstone

How It Is Created: Amethyst receives its color beginning at the crystal’s growth. At the first stage, trace amounts of iron are incorporated into the crystal as it starts to grow. After the crystallization starts, gamma rays are emitted by radioactive materials within the host rock and the irradiated iron gives the amethyst its beautiful purple color.

History: One of the earliest references to amethyst is in the Old Testament book of Exodus as it is mentioned that one of the stones in the breastplate of Aaron the High Priest was an amethyst. There is not a clear indication to where the name comes from but it is said that it is derived from the Greek word “amethyst” which means “not drunk”. Despite this, it is associated with the god, Dionysus, because the purple hue of the crystal looks like delicious grape wine. Wine goblets were carved of this stone to prevent drunkenness. There is also a Greek lore involving Dionysus with a young girl named Amethyst. The lore reads:

“Dionysus was angry one day and swore that he would exact his revenge on the next mortal that came by. He created several tigers, informed him of their mission and went his way. As it would happen, a lovely young girl named Amethyst was the next to come by, on her way to pay homage to Artemis and was attacked. Artemis quickly changed the girl into a statue of solid quartz. When Dionysus returned to see what he had wrought, he was overcome with remorse and wept tears of purple wine which flowed over the statue, staining it permanently.”

The color was also in demand throughout history since the color purple is associated with royalty and was worn by royals in Egypt and Europe. In some traditions, Catholic Bishops wear amethyst rings to symbolize their piety and celibacy, and rosaries are still fashioned with this stone.

What It Can Do:

Excellent focal point for meditation and scrying

Used to unlock mysteries and figure out spiritual matters, such as death and rebirth

Helps cleanses, purify and heal the body, spirit, and mind

Balances emotions and prevents nightmares

Useful for spells to help let go of addictions

Uses on the tip of wands for healing and can produce high spiritual energy

Brings a sense of calm and clarity

Helps with decision making

Can open your third eye and connect to the crown chakra

Protects the mind from dark magic

A gateway stone to connecting with the spirit world

Helps with transmitting energies to a specific point

How to Get the Best Out of Amethyst: Wearing it on your person with a bracelet or necklace. Putting amethyst on bare skin invites the stone to release its vibrations directly into the body, amplifying its power.

How to Cleanse and Charge Amethyst:

To cleanse: Leave your Amethyst stone placed under the light of the full Moon for a whole night, that is, about 8 hours

To charge: It can also be recharge via the moon so just leaving it in the moonlight can do double duty.

Amidst Night and Moonlight

It wasn’t unusual that Atsushi was called out to drag his drunken mentor back to the dorms, nor was it he’d bump into Akutagawa along the way, doing the same for his drunken executive. But what was unusual was the fact they were at a bustling club rather than those holes in the wall bars.

“Can you see them?” Atsushi calls from beyond the loud music. But given that the raven was squinting, slowly scanning the areas and specifically the bar, he couldn’t. He sighs in defeat as they fall back to stand at the wall, keeping together amidst the crowded building. “Think they ditched and are off somewhere?” he guessed.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if this entire thing was planned.”

“You think they planned this drunk?”

“Do you want me to answer that?”

“Definitely not.” Atsushi sighs again and looks towards the dance floor.

The music was ear piercing and the lights were blaring, but even then, he could tell that they were enjoying themselves, drunk or not. He glances over at Akutagawa who more or less was looking at his phone, squinting at the screen. They’re here, may as well try…

Atsushi nudged the other and held up a hand, a silent offer. Akutagawa stared at it for a moment before scowling and returned back to looking at his phone, but Atsushi knew he didn’t mean it. It was more softer than his usual scowls or glares, and given the fact that the other pressed closer that he was leaning on the detective, it was a silent apology.

Atsushi just quietly smiled, although it may look more resigned from an outside perspective. He knew that the other would reject, given that it was such a crowded place. He supposed that he wanted to try to break that barrier of vulnerability on Akutagawa’s part. Maybe another night, he sighs to himself, closing his eyes to rest them from the lights.

He felt a nudge and he looked over in time to Akutagawa grabbing his arm and they hugged the wall as they exited the club through the back entrance. “W-Wait a sec, what about-”

“There was no point in being in there for longer if the people we’re finding aren’t in the building.” Akutagawa pointedly scowled. Atsushi just nervously smiled at that and decided to just follow the other’s lead. He seemed to know where to go, or at least had a destination. Wonder where it’ll be. Looking over, Akutagawa continued walking, keeping his gaze straight ahead.

“Akutagawa?”

Silence.

Atsushi looked at him for a moment longer before sighing to himself and looked around, before raising an eyebrow. Where were they?

His ametrine sunset eyes flickered and shone a bright gold color, purple pupils dilating to large orbs as he surveyed the area. Yokohama International Passenger Terminal…? Before Atsushi could ask what was going on, he yelped when his hands were suddenly grabbed and pulled forward.

With a stumble, he catches himself in time to be centimeters away from Akutagawa’s face, just barely seen under the bright moonlight. Atsushi stares at Akutagawa’s face before smiling quietly and shifting his hands to rest on their shoulders, feeling Akutagawa’s rest on his waist. Amidst the moonlight and the gentle crashing of the waters against the harbor, they swayed to a silent rhythm, their foreheads pressed and serene smiles on their faces.

“I’m sorry…” Akutagawa whispers, keeping his eyes closed.

Atsushi chuckles, “It’s okay. I should’ve figured you wouldn’t want to dance in that place.”

“And you’re not mad?”

“Why would I be?”

Silence, but Atsushi smiles at the sight of the other’s quieter one.

“Thank you for understanding me,” he whispers and takes a step forward. Atsushi yelped, his arms frantically wrapping around the other’s shoulders as he was dipped backwards, only one leg was planted on the ground, the other awkwardly up in the air.

Instantly his face rushes red before he lets out a barely concealed laugh, shoulders shaking and Akutagawa just follows suit, although a bit better than Atsushi and they share a kiss before Akutagawa pulls Atsushi back up and they resume, hand in hand. Before they knew it, they walked along the passenger terminal’s grounds, full of ballroom dancing.

Close by, both Chuuya and Dazai watched while recording the entire thing.

“I win the bet, Mackerel~” Chuuya snickers ominously, holding his phone as he records the sweet scene before them.

Dazai just silently parroted in a mocking tone and pouted the rest, bringing up his night vision binoculars to watch the pair as they continued dancing amidst the night and moonlight.

(A/N): why did i post this in the first place? well- this tiny itty-bitty fic was more or less inspired by this post by @k0t3x-n3t! Thank you for letting me write this tiny thing! Thank you for reading! (really bout to out myself with that singular catchphrase that i do on ao3 hm-)

[elsewhereuniversity]

Until I have broken the curse that is on me I may possess nothing of my own; so will you lend me a charm, Archivist, that will help me break it?

Oh, vicious. Alright, let’s try a little fuckery. Do you trust me? You have to trust me for this; the curse can’t know what’s going on. It is probably going to suck, and I wish I could give you better warning. But it will be okay.

 Here is a charm, but not for you; it is merely a loan, I want it back later, you don’t posses it. It’s a ring set with a cracked ametrine, one of four, and you should put it on.

Great, okay. Ametrine, for lack of a better name for you: it was a clever little trick, hiding your consciousnesses within the ring. You took a lot of care to hide. It took me a little bit to figure out what your deal was: ‘the one with ametrine will leave it’s mark’, indeed. The other three only offer their wearer a new form, but you piggyback right into the mind.

Here’s the thing: the student you’ve just hijaacked is cursed, and the curse doesn’t quite know what to do with you yet. You’ve got, oh, two hours or so before it decides you’re the same person now, and then it will apply itself to you. And when it does, my friend, it’s going to leave you up shit creek without a paddle, and more importantly, without either a new body or a ring to hide in, because under this curse you can possess nothing at all, and without what you posses, you are nothing.

You have three options here. You can scurry back into your ring to hide, and I’ll send it to the smiths to finish the job of melting it. You can stay until the curse figures you out, at which point you’ll dissolve like the morning mist - the student would still be cursed, but we can always figure something else out for them. Or you can apply your evident skill with charms to breaking the curse while you still have time, and I give you my word that I will see a body built just for you, a lifelike facsimile covering a core of engraved deer bones and braided lilac boughs and copper veins. There have been stranger things made here, and stranger creatures welcomed. You are merely desperate to keep living; I will not hold that alone against you. I can relate.

(Do not for a second think there is a fourth option. The Pages are on their way here, and they will be standing by to wrestle the ring back off this student’s finger if you consider for a second overstaying your welcome. That brings us right back to option A, where you are melted.)

[crystal-moon-101]

Yet another next-gen headshot batch! This batch was mainly designed to fill out some placements still left in the next-gen, so while there will probably be other characters who I'll make eventually, there probably won't be many other kids after this, hopefully. But enjoy these newcomers!

-Young One & Little One- The 8-year-old twins of Rook and Rayona, along with being Rilla's younger brothers. They are a chaotic pair that Rilla describes as "little rats" or "oxygen wasters", representing peak child life. Always on the move, full of energy, and highly curious about everything. They spend much of their time at their family home and farm, helping to care for the crops and animals or just causing some mayhem. They're pretty harmless kids, though, and while Rilla gets annoyed by them easily, she loves them, and they look up to their big sister. While they're often together, showcasing that twin energy, they have different hobbies. Young One enjoys music, jumping between one instrument to the next as he tries to figure out which will be the perfect match for him. Meanwhile, Little One is all for animals, feeling like he has a connection to them, and will always beg to help out with a farm animal whenever his parents have to deal with one.

-Cayenne Fife- The 17-year-old child (Genderfluid) of Clyde and a revonnahgander woman named Cassia. Cayenne's parents met during Clyde's training with the plumbers, visiting Revonnah with Rook once. And they pair hit it off. Unlike their father, Cayenne has no interest in the Plumber lifestyle, or an exicting lifestyle at that. They prefer spending their time helping their mother out at their farm and would rather people leave them alone than drag them into any of their chaotic lifestyles. This also includes their father, who means well but does have a habit of flaunting his space life and trying to engage with his kid regarding it. Because of all this, Cayenne can be a bit distant with the rest of the Tennyson family and will never hesitate to tell them to leave if they won't behave.

-Princess Ambrosia- The 14-year-old daughter of Queen Hyacinth is part of one of the many royal families on the planet Letany. Despite having a couple of other sisters, Ambrosia was picked by her mother to be next in line for the throne, claiming she is the best pick. However, Ambrosia is somewhat unsure of that, not thinking she has what it takes to be a queen one day, thinking she would be a better fit in the princess council with her sisters. She met Jay and the others when another hive kidnapped her, the omni squad recusing after offering their help, and she and Jay get along nicely. Eventually, she even dates him and Ametrine for a while, a poly pairing, as she starts to figure herself out. She is always on the move, working hard, and has a pleasant and chipper personality, though she is also rather posh in her manners and lifestyle.

-Ametrine- The 14-year-old spawn (Genderfluid) of Sugilite, Ametrine, was created when their father decided that Petropia should have another crystalsapien guardian as a backup in case he were to die again and the Omnitrix couldn't provide help. Using his powers, he created Ametrine and has been a patient, attentive father since. However, Ametrine questions if this is what they want, feeling like they need their father's wisdom or knowledge to do such a task, sometimes struggling to connect with the people of Petropia. Of course, they haven't told their father this because they feel like they owe Sugilite for creating them in the first place, not wanting to throw his plans out the window. Growing up, though, Ametrine has been friends with people like Malax and Jay through their parent's connections and even dates both Jay and Ambrosia for a while at one point, the three learning from each other during this time. Maybe it'll help Ametrine understand life better.

-Eztli- A 17-year-old Azozzle demigirl who is under the mentorship of Simian. Eztli is a rather unusual individual, as no one knows where they came from, one day simply popping up as a 6-year-old in Undertown with excellent thieving skills. However, she is also naive and can be pretty ditzy, and upon catching Simian's attention, he couldn't help but pity the young girl, feeling like she probably would have died if he hadn't stepped in. They have a very casual dynamic with each other, where he lets her stay at his place, and she helps him with her skills. Because of this, she became childhood friends with Feike due to Simian and Argit's connections. Even after Feike runs off with Sciros, he keeps in contact with Eztli, who worries for his safety but knows she can't force him to do anything. Through Feike she also made friends with Thea, and even those two had a falling out, Thea is still friends with Eztli, one of the few people Thea hardly gets moody with. Eztli is kind and sweet, and while not exactly book-smart, she is very empathic with people and has a way of making connections with them.

-Malin- A 17-year-old Appoplexian/Arachnichimp girl who is the adopted daughter of Technorg. After being freed by Ben, Technorg eventually made his own crew and began travelling the galaxy to free people from pit fights like the one he had been caught in. One day, he found a young child, Malin, with a nasty eye injury that she got in a fight she was forced into. This is not the first time he's recused a child, but Malin had a tough time finding a home due to her hybrid traits. Apparently, being a mix of a chaotic insect monkey and an angry cat weren't desirable traits for potential parents. So Technorg eventually decided to keep her, able to manage her wild and aggressive habits easily. Thankfully, she has mellowed out over the years, even if she can be a bit snappy and blunt. She helps Technorg in his quest to help people like them, and the two have a father-daughter battle style, him being the big heavy hitter and her being the swift sharp hitter.

-Ama Luth- A 19-year-old Revonnahgander young man. Ama Luth is a Plumber in training, soon to be a full-fledged Plumber, being mentored by Rook Shar. She and her brother actually inspired him to join the Plumbers despite his parents' protests, who wanted him to stay home, help with the household, find a girl, and so on. He lives for a thrilling life, wanting to feel like he can make a difference but admittedly also have fun while he's at it. Because of his connections to Shar, he became friends with Rilla, with him sometimes acting like a big brother to her, often teasing her over many things. He also has many run-ins with a certain misfit gang, Dotti, Risley and Rigel. He has this cat-and-mouse game with them, and there may be some flirting between him and Risley, the latter claiming they do like a man in uniform. Ama Luth also has melanism, which is what gives him his unnaturally dark coat and hair.

-Ligeia- A 15-year-old Sseus (Bigender) who is a rising star in a galactic music world. Like many of her people, Ligeia has a stunning voice, but something about hers stands out. She loves the glitz and glam and prides himself on a colourful lifestyle. She met Jay and the others when they were given a plumbers-in-training task of watching over one of her concerts after she received uncomfortable threats. After keeping her safe, she took an interest in Jay, and the pair became fast friends, even dating at one point. He helped bring a lot of confidence into Jay's life, and she often likes to swing by and hang with him and the others when she needs a moment of calmness in her life. Even if his personality is always out there no matter what. She loves to bring joy to people and encourages others to follow their dreams and be themself. A life of lies is not something he wants anyone to have.

-Commix- A 42-year-old Osmosian/Kraaho woman. Commix is a mysterious figure who has spent many years helping people who suffered from the aftermath of villain appearances, working with two others called Zero and Hydrus. Despite the clear power behind the other two, people often get confused by Commix being the leader until she reveals to others she is an osmosian hybrid. She is also rather intelligent and has lots of patience for long-term plans. And one plan she apparently has is to execute many of the villains the Plumbers have in holding. She disagrees with their idea of keeping them locked up, given the times people have broken out and keep causing problems. She believes it's better to eliminate the problem immediately, without hesitation. Jay and the others had no idea why she seemed so hostile about this topic, as it was clear this seemed way too personal to her. However, after some digging, it's found her father is none other than Aggregor, and it's clear she hasn't forgiven him for the insanity he dove into. She's been trying to find him for years now, and clearly not for a loving family reunion. She is cold, sharp, and tired of this awful world in her eyes.

-Zero- A 31-year-old Mutant Galvanic Mechamorph, and anyone with clear eyes can tell precisely who Zero is related to. When Malware was dying, he tried to create a mechamorph spawn, which was supposed to be a recreation of himself. However, Zero only had some of Malware's memories, running off before anyone saw him, hiding away for many years as he questioned his identity. A part of him feels like Malware, but another part of him doesn't have the same anger as his previous self. This has led to him being stuck in an identity crisis cycle, having been found by Commix when he was afraid to hurt people. She helped him out, and he is now incredibly loyal to her for giving him a chance. Even now, he still battles with himself about whether he is Malware or Zero. He can be rather nervous and twitchy, but when settled, he is quiet, curious and willing to learn.

-Hydrus- A 20-year-old Celestialsapien/To'kustar hybrid young girl (Still a child in To'kustar terms). Hydrus is a very unusual hybrid, her celestial genetics being very noticeable. She had been found by Servantis, who saw her mysterious hybrid traits and took her in, where he briefly raised her before putting her in stasis, hoping to use her as a backup plan against Ben if his original plan were to fail. That or eventually experiment with the hybrid to learn more about Celestialsapiens, not trusting such power to run around. However, after he was arrested, he never told anyone about Hydrus, fearing her freedom and not wanting someone like Ben to know about her. So she was stuck in stasis for many years until ten years ago, Commix and Zero found her, freeing her and taking care of her. Commix especially has spent much time raising her, since Hydrus is still a child in her species. This has led to Hydrus considering Commix and Zero as her family, and she will always do as they tell her, making her a dangerous ally of theirs. She has no clue who her parents are, Commix believing that her To'kustar lost her or died, while her Celestialsapien parent probably doesn't care enough about her.

WIP Acrostic Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @the-golden-comet (here),and @thecomfywriter (here), as well as a few others I know tagged me but that got lost in my tags <3

My Word: HOPE, CLEVER

Your Word: ADORE

I'll go with my WIPs Supernova Initiative and Scrapyard Boys for this one! (:

H (Supernova Initiative)

He knew that wasn’t technically ‘asking nicely’- but as far as he was concerned, adding a ‘please’ to a sentence directed at Kye was as close to being civilized as it would get

O (Supernova Initiative)

“Of course there’s blood, have you seen this shithole of a moon?”

P (Scrapyard Boys)

Panting in discomfort, he tried his best not to look away, feeling his recent answer being scanned.

E (Supernova Initiative)

Eldora growls, striding forward with thundering steps that send a shiver down Kye's spine until she's standing over Damen.

C (Scrapyard Boys)

"Can you enlighten me as to how is that any of your goddamn business? ”

L (Supernova Initiative)

“Look, I’ve gotta get our new friend some help, I’ll explain that to you better a bit later, alright? Go on. Lead the way!”

E (Scrapyard Boys)

“Eh. You seem to forget that deals change, 'Ametrine.'"

V (Scrapyard Boys)

Valen rasped through bloodied teeth, before laughing bitterly, "If it wasn't for these stupid cuffs," He tugged against the metal digging into his skin, though knowing it was in vain, "I'd have fried your ass to a crisp by now, fucker." 

E (Supernova Initiative)

Every step sent a stinging jolt of pain up his leg, so much that at one point he almost tripped, and had to bite his lip to avoid making a sound.

R (Scrapyard Boys)

“Real cheeky coming from someone who still owes me 10k, huh?”

Every Golden Scale, empress of the solar system, stands at the edge of the tallest of the Ninety-One Peaks of her Ametrine Palace, surveying the planet she has claimed as capitol from a vantage point fifteen miles above sea level. she looks down at the glittering flanks of the Grand Pyramid to where they disappear into the western ocean, then south to the Lesser Pyramid, only half the height and capped with her House of Emerald Delights, the vast pleasure-arcology of intergrown gardens, arcades, bars and theatres. between the Grand and Lesser Pyramids, and clustered around their bases like students at the feet of sages, the other Eighty-One Peaks, housing the civil and military administrative offices of her vast bureaucracy, libraries, galleries, temples to her glories and conquests, ports for spaceships and aircars, gardens, vaults of gold and silver..... to the east, as the sun sets, the Ametrine Palace casts its own immense rain shadow into darkness, endless suburban sprawl crusted over the hardpan and itself half-swallowed by sand and incensebrush. like great serpents or the roots of the world-tree, mile-wide clusters of pipe bring water from the far edge of the planet to water the Palace and the vineyards and groves of olive and almond and date palm that cover its lower slopes and immediate surroundings

hi I'm normal about the new niigo event cards

spoilers for the newest event on JP. eng translation is "saying goodbye to my masked self" but it sounds like one of those awkward eng translations. I just saw the cards and went a little bit nuts because there is so. much. symbolism and callback to other events and cards.

the first very obvious connection is with the cards from the imprisoned marionette event. it's nightcord's first event and it's where we really get it set up that mafuyu's sitaution with her mom is a problem.

mafuyu feels like a marionette, the strings controlling her being her mother and the pressure she feels at school and home, and the mask being hiding her emotions and pretending to handle it.

so yknow with this event's card- the cut strings, the scissors, the broken mask. she's breaking her mom's control, she is "saying goodbye to her masked self". I find it interesting that it looks like not all the strings are cut- it may just be a stylistic choice by the illustrator though.

going further into reading too deeply into things the cards for the rest of niigo are also pretty straightforward with the string thing too. but I find it interesting that in mizuki's card, all the strings are hanging loose, in ena's card she's pulling against the strings, and in kanade's card, the strings all appear to still be tight and she's huddled up in the middle.

I think it maybe represents their different relationships to control. mizuki has always been about being yourself and not being controlled, and has lightly encouraged that in mafuyu or with their personality, at least kept the door open for mafuyu- they never really push.

Ena pushes back against control a lot- she outright lies to mafuyu's mom in "Someday, this wish will transcend the morning sky" so mafuyu can stay at her house. So I think it makes sense that she's directly pulling on the "strings of control".

Kanade never really directly challenges mafuyu's mother until "Immiscible discord". She prefers to focus just on mafuyu, and is kind of tunnel-vision about songwriting and helping mafuyu, so she's not touching the strings at all and is instead focused on the crystal/heart/apple.

(ok I wrote these next slides for a friend discord server so these are a bit more discombobulated)

so apples and heart-shaped apples are pretty significant at points in niigo's story. they appear most prominently in the "Mirage of lights" event when mafuyu get sick and recalls a similar time from her childhood. the memory of eating apple cut up for her by her mom (and later, kanade) is tied to a warm feeling- and it being tied to a feeling, at all, is pretty significant for mafuyu. and the heart shape I think makes it pretty clear- apples are tied to mafuyu's feelings, or her "heart". then there's also a brief reference in the lyrics of samsa and the art for the song as well which I feel like further solidifies it.

yes I know my handwriting is unreadable 😭 I'm going to add image descriptions.

Ok so also the hearts are made out of crystals or have a crystalline look to them and that along with the poses and lighting they're in reminds me of the cards from "Someday, from the depths of despair". Given the fact that the event is about reminiscing on how they all met and the connection and friendship they now share with each other, and the lyrics to Tricologe, specifically "a little chipped pink opal/a lost lolite/a topaz covered in dust/and a lonely ametrine" (although idk how official that translation is) I think the gemstones symbolize themselves, and the memories and feelings they have for each other aka friendship.

I also think it's interesting that for mafuyu's card in that event she doesn't have a fully formed crystal like mizuki and ena do because she still struggles with finding a sense of self and experiencing/identifying her feelings.

But yeah so the crystals/hearts/apples in this event's card symbolize mafuyu, her feelings, their friendship with her, that whole package. So think the rest of the girl's cards are showing them reaching out to mafuyu and supporting them in the ways that they know.

Anyway that's just what I think, it might be inaccurate I don't speak japanese or live in japan so I don't have direct access to things in the JP sekai server or the non-translated meanings of song lyrics, event dialogues, etc. I'm just excited about my blorbos. Mafuyu's story brings me to tears every time she has a focus event istg her story is dear to me and this is the ultimate culmination of all the growth I get super sappy over.

This is event is obviously a very big step that's been built up to since nightcord's first event/main story and I love how the imagery in the cards ties back to repeating themes, other events, and the beginning of it all. It's really the icing on the cake.

A Trip Down Memory Lane 

Start | Prev

Despite all your best intentions, you keep falling into Theo’s memories as you explore. You try to pull yourself out of them as soon as you can because you really don’t want to pry. That and some of them are pretty unpleasant. 

You end up learning more about Theo, and some of it is even stuff you don’t feel guilty about learning. 

He used to play softball. 

The digital art commissions he did were a bit more risque than his oil paintings. He had a lot of fun drawing them because he knew they made people happy. 

He always wanted a pet as a kid, but his parents wouldn’t let him. Adopting Concrete probably made him really happy. 

And then there’s the stuff you do feel guilty about. 

You know what his childhood nickname was. 

You know first hand how shitty his parents were to him. 

At first, learning that Theo was pretty bad at swimming strikes you as a sort of endearing quirk. Something that’s a little funny. But then you Remember. And you feel sick. 

You try to justify it to yourself by keeping in mind that the reason Theo drowned is because he was unconscious and face down in the water. No amount of swimming would have saved him. 

Pivoting away from that train of thought is an act of self preservation, not cowardice, thank you very much. 

Something that really surprises you is discovering that Theo and Ametrine were on speaking terms at some point. 

Considering her apparent stance on ghosts, you’d think she’d never deign to associate with something like Theo. 

But didn’t one of them mention that they both get power from the same source? 

It was something like that… 

Ametrine is always terse with Theo, but that might just be how she is. You probably won’t find out for sure. You don’t want to find out for sure. 

You’ve just been pulled into yet another memory. 

Pat jumps, the most startled you’ve ever seen them. 

“Jeeze. I thought you’d moved on, kid,” they tut, brow furrowed. “What are you doing back here? Actually wait, no. How’d you get here? Weren’t you location locked?” 

“Ah, well. I did move on. I just… decided to come back,” ‘You’ say, feeling a little sheepish. 

Pat frowns. “Are you still worried about Concrete? I’m taking real good care of him, just like I promised.” 

You shake your head. “No, it’s not that. I trust you. I just… I wanted to help you. Since you helped me out so much…” you trail off, feeling like maybe you shouldn’t have done this. You could have helped without revealing yourself. 

“That’s very kind of you, but you should go ahead and move on. I’m pretty good at keeping myself safe, and I definitely don’t want to be the thing that’s holding you back. Plus, I’ve got a friend that doesn’t take too nice to ghosts hanging around. Really.” 

You shake your head emphatically. “You said that just because you don’t need something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have it at all. Even if you don’t need help I still want to help.” 

Pat doesn’t say anything for a while, seeming to think things over.

Super 7 anon - that's completely fair! I was just a little confused bc of the Ametrine 😩

I hope you have a good day/evening/night and I can't wait to see what other designs you come up with 💙

It's just that Ametrine is simpler and more obvious to draw rather than a natural fusion of 7 gems (that I comsider it it's own gem at that point).

I'm honestly surprised that people are enjoying the amethysts so much. I assume it's because haha canon related gem because to me, quartzes are generally boring when people as for them since it's just. Same gem, same clothes, all that changes are the palette and hairstyle. I love amethysts tho and purple is my favourite colour so maybe that explains why I'm doing them

Witch Tools | Crystals

“Crystals and stones are used in rituals and spells for their energy and corresponding properties.”

Shapes of Crystals: [Source] [Authors note: The link has MORE crystals I just used the basic shapes most Witches use for their craft] Crystal Uses: [Source]

Ball: Cube: Pyramid

Egg: Heart: Isis:

Geode: Generator: Obelisk:

Raw: Palm: Cluster: Tumbled: Wand:

Ball/Sphere: Crystal that is shaped into a ball from a larger piece of crystal…quartz crystals rarely occurs naturally as a sphere. The Sphere is associated with Harmony, scrying, even energy all around.

Crystal Pyramid: Manifestation, intently focused energy. prosperity.

A crystal shaped like a pyramid, it has four equal triangular sides that meet to a point with a flat square base. It’s effective for amplifying energy. *Egyptian used the pyramids to send the pharaoh's soul straight to the gods. Crystal Generators and Obelisks are 2 shapes that are often confused with one another, just count the number of sides. A generator has six equal sides and an Obelisk has four. Generators, Obelisks and Pyramids are great shapes to direct/amplify energy. Better used in crystal grids, as it will amplify/boost energy. 

Crystal Wands: Healing and rituals, moving/directing energy.

Crystal wands have many uses, they can be used for massage therapy (eg a massage wand), acupressure and reflexology. They can also be used to direct energy in a certain direction, draw negative energy away from you and to activate crystal grids. Crystal wands can be used for chakra healing.

Crystal Eggs: Balance, Fertility, healing

The pointed end of an egg shaped crystal is often used by practitioners of acupressure, reflexology and massage. Similar to spheres, crystal eggs are a great shape to hold whilst meditating. Crystal eggs represent fertility, birth and new beginnings.

Cluster: A group of crystals growing together having many points and sharing the same base clusters rapidly radiate energy in all directions. The cluster radiates energy, meditation and unity.

Crystal Cube: consolidates energy, grounding and meditation, connects to the energy of the earth.

Tumbled: Gentle, constant energyRaw: Strong, Sporadic, pure energy.Double Terminated/Twin: Receives and emits energy transmits informationPalm: Grounding, healing, “Worry stone.”

Isis: Feminine energy, healing emotional, hurt and distress.Geode: Amplifies, conserves and releases energy, internal healing.

Crystal Heart: Sends love across time and space.Crystal Points, Generators and Obelisks: Energy amplifier, six facets

There are 219 Crystals [And I do not have the time or energy to go over ALL of them when we Wiccans can’t use/afford that many, and so we’ll only cover the basics/most used Crystals.

So other than Shapes that signify the ‘power’ of the crystal, what about a specific use? So here is a list of most common crystals that I have seen, that was recommended by other witches or popped up in my readings.

 Amethyst | Azurite  | Ametrine  | Aquamarine  |  Agate  |  Amazonite  | Bloodstone  |  Beta  |  Black Obsidian  |   Bismuth  | Chinese writing rock, chrysoprase, Chrysoprase, Citrine, Clear Quartz,  Dream Quartz, Danburite, diamond, Dalmation Stone Fluorite. | Garnet. Herkimer Diamond | Hematite | Jasper | Jade | Kyanite | Kunzite Lepidolite/Lapis Lazuli, Labradorite Malachite | Nephrite | Opal | Onyx | Pink Opal  |   Peridot  |  Rose Quarts  |  Rhodonite, Ruby | Sardonyx  |  Selenite, Sapphire, Sunstone, Smoky Quartz, Scolecite, seraphinite | Topaz | Tigers Eye  |  Tourmaline  |  Zoisite

*Clear Quartz: A substitute in case you can’t use a specific crystal for an intention or spell.

What you NEED to KNOW!

*Need to KNOW

Be VERY careful with crystals. Not ALL of them can be in direct sunlight and not ALL can be placed in water. Some Crystals are sun/water types and if you need to charge them or use them make sure you know which is which!

the first chapter of that book thing I’m talking about

CWS for this chapter: None

CWS for the series:

Series summary:

Falling From The Stars is about the band Ametrine’s rise to fame and their fall from it.

A/N: wrote this in February so the writing style will be slightly different

Beta read and edited

That’ll be 12.50.” An obviously overworked woman who looked like she worked multiple jobs by the look of her eye bags says from behind the counter. 

   I rummage in my jeans pocket, pen cap without a pen, crusty pennies, old candy wrappers, then finally crinkled 20 dollars bill. I must’ve looked like a disorganized train wreck to any passerby. Luka you’re 22 put yourself together. You probably look like a fucking train wreck. I put the 20 dollar bill onto the counter and the overworked woman hands me the food I ordered.  

   “Uhm keep the change.” I say just loud enough for her to hear. This was my friend’s dad’s  restaurant, I want to help out somehow. 

The food felt warm in my hands as I walked through the busy streets of Manhattan. There was a mix of tired locals and overly excited tourists.  Then I drove about 5 minutes back to my apartment to give my fiancé the food I brought. 

 He’s so studious that he barely takes care of himself enough. I went up, opened the door and threw the leather pouch I carry to the side. 

“Oh hey Luka.” Rui glances up from his work, eye bags quite noticeable (probably his pharmacist school stuff) then looked back down and continued working. I lean over him to take a look at what he was studying, his jet black red streaked hair was greasier than ever. Do you even wash it anymore?. He had recently overworked himself to the point where he caught a cold. He still wasn’t fully recovered, I could tell from him sniffling and the amount of tissues he had surrounding him. It was exhausting looking after him then to say the least as he would never stay in bed without study material for more than 5 minutes.

I put what I had brought him on the table. “I think you should take a break and eat, plus you’re still sick aren’t you?” 

“I’m fine, I swear, thanks for the food I guess.” He doesn’t even look up. His voice sounded deeper which usually is a tell tale sign to attempt to convince him to go to bed early tonight. 

“Explain the tissues.” 

“I just still have a runny nose.” 

I nod, I guess I believe him, his explanation lines up with the timeline. I just hope he learns that A grades aren’t everything, because they aren’t. My friend Tian basically lives by that saying. I think should point out that Tian and Rui are pretty much opposites when it comes to that though. 

 “I think I should probably head over to Micah and Tian’s. I told them I’d be there at noon and it’s half past now.” 

“Alright, bye. Love you.” Rui mumbled, again not glancing up. 

“Love you.” I gently placed a kiss on the top of his head, grabbed my small leather pouch —which I keep important stuff in such as my keys, inhaler, credit card—  and headed out.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･**･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'･

I pull into their driveway. It was a pretty nice house, a garage where we keep our instruments, decently sized, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms I think. Micah brought it when he was only 18. I’ve always wondered how the hell he was able to afford it right out of high school and after moving from Australia to New York City. Then again I presume he’s quite rich from his posher Australian accent, one of the ones that sound almost British. 

Tian moved in with him 2 years after Micah originally bought the place and I think Micah likes the company since he seems a lot happier now. 

I walked up the front door and opened it with my key. To us it wasn’t weird that I had their key and they had mine, it’s like when you’d give your key to a close relative. The house was half messy and half clean due to Micah messing up the house and Tian’s attempts to clean up after Micah. I walked into their garage where we said to meet. 

Micah looks up at me from tuning his bass. He had his shoulder length hair dyed amethyst purple which was different from his previous colour “You’re a bit late.” I was almost an hour late. 

I sheepishly ran my hand through my hair, embarrassed. “I had to run an errand.” 

“Ah! Understandable, have a nice day!” Micah had that goofy grin on his face that he was quite known for. “Also you forgot your guitar here since last time” 

“Oh that's where it was. Also, did you dye your hair again?” 

“Mhm. I thought the amethyst colour  would suit the band since it’s called Ametrine” 

“It suits you, also, where's Tian?” I glance around the garage, his drum set was still there. Wait no that’s stupid he wouldn’t carry that thing out, he wouldn’t even attempt it, he’d rather leave it here and play video games upstairs later. 

“Hmm.” Micah puts a hand on his chin, “probably asleep behind his drum kit. I think he was playing Valorant all night. Wait,  actually I think I heard him aggressively drumming along to Chop Suey at 3 am. ”  He then put his bass back onto its stand. 

  Both of us looked behind the drum kit to see Tian  sitting on a pillow, playing something on his Nintendo switch with noise cancelling headphones.

“Tian!” Micah calls as a weak attempt to get Tian’s attention. “Tian Wu!” He even attempts using his full name as if that’d change something 

Somehow that works and Tian looks up at Micah, “What is it Micah Torres” he said with a smirk, probably deciding to humour Micah using his full name. “Oh, Luka’s here.” He nods his head as a greeting which I nod back. “Give me a sec. Gotta save”

“Luka, I tuned your guitar for you already, fyi. Thank me later!” Micah tells me, literally saying FYI. 

“Alright, thanks. I’ll tune your bass for you  next time.” 

Micah put a hand on my shoulder and grinned again. “No worries! Run your errands instead!” He grinned again. 

“Are you sure?” I felt like I was in debt to him. He definitely didn’t need to tune my guitar for me but, he did anyway.  

“Yeah! Of course mate!”

“Alright, are we just jamming today or recording a cover?” Tian asks, standing up then plugging in his switch which he had in the corner.

“Uhm..” Micah goes over to the wooden table in the corner and grabs a black notebook off of it and flips to a page somewhere in the middle “We have Under Pressure on our cover list, Luka do you think we’re ready to record yet?

“Hu-huh why are you asking me!?” In my opinion just because I’m the lead vocalist that doesn’t mean I get to make all the decisions. I was texting Tian earlier and we both agreed Micah has the best judgement out of the 3 of us and should be leader anyway. 

 “You’re our front man and lead vocalist. That's why!” Micah declares, handing me my guitar and picking up his bass again.  “Also, Tian what is ‘Those Three Words Unsaid’? You wrote it under ideas.”

Tian turns slightly red in the face, “Oh it’s nothing really…I uh yeah.” He glanced the floor and wouldn’t even look Micah in the eye.  “I uh I-I was drunk when I wrote that.” 

“Uh huh.” Micah’s expression shows he’s quite skeptical (Tian doesn’t drink) however I think he could probably tell Tian was uncomfortable with answering, and decided not to question him any further  “Luka? Your thoughts on whether we should record or not?” 

I attempt to remember what our last practice sounded like I can’t completely remember, thanks to me having the same memory as  Dori the fish. “I suppose we should practice it once and see where we’re at from there.” 

“I don’t think we should record today.” Tian pipes in. “I mean I’d have to bring down the camera and all the mics from upstairs and then we’d have to repeatedly reshoot to get it perfect , I also don’t think I got the drums correctly yet.”

I nod in agreement, “I think our 300 YouTube subs  can wait a bit.”  I’m fine with just our 300 subscribers, they didn’t really comment other than the occasional thumbs up emoji usually from Micah and I’s parents . I can tell Micah on the other hand wants the attention, he wants to be famous and he wants to perform for large crowds he deserves it too, meanwhile I feel like I’m holding him back, he’d be able to live out his dream if he wasn’t stuck with me, but oddly I can’t bring myself to leave either. 

“We could run through a few songs then go out to eat or something?” Micah suggests

“Sure, where?” I ask

“How about Tian’s dad’s restaurant. Maybe Tian can get us a discount.” Micah chuckles 

“No. I uhm I had too much Chinese food recently…” Tian responds nearly instantaneously. This usually happens whenever his dad is brought up. I don’t bring up his dad anymore because of it.

“The last time you had non-western food was when my Abuela came over from Australia and made you tamales. That was a month ago.”  Micah points out

Tian looks up at Micah with widened eyes  like a puppy begging for a treat. “Maybe she can—“ 

Micah laughs “Abuela went down to Mexico to visit more relatives so no, she cannot come over and cook for us. She did tell me she thought you were a very nice boy, so I think she’d be willing to cook for you again though.” 

Tian looks dejected once Micah says his Abuela cannot come over and cook but perks up again after he said she’d be willing to cook for him again. Typical Tian, on occasion he acts a lot  younger than his age from what I noticed anyway . “Can you tell her I think her cooking tastes very good.” 

“Yeah sure! I’ll ask her if Luka can come  next time as well!” 

“Also, Luka, do you think Rui would want to join us tonight?” Tian asks

“He already ate I think, plus exam season is coming up so he’s been shutting himself inside. Hikikomori as his siblings call him.” 

“Wish him luck for us!” Micah says. 

I nod. “I think we’re getting off topic now.” 

Micah laughs “Shit.” 

Then without any communication we start to play, we mess up more than once, Tian missing a beat, my voice not getting as high as I need it to be —in my defence I didn’t warm up—. Hours fly by like minutes as we were getting off track and instead of practicing only Under Pressure, we play an assortment of songs such as Clumsy, Lithium, My Hero, Famous Last Words, S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W  and Somebody told me. It'll be a miracle if my throat isn’t sore tomorrow, since I didn’t warm up at all. 

“Can we stop to get some food..” Tian’s  the first one of us to speak up. 

“Actually, I think we should stop for the night, Luka could injure his voice.” Micah points out, agreeing with Tian. He probably knows that I wouldn’t speak up for myself otherwise.  I feel like I’d be letting them down if I did. 

I nod and put my guitar back in its case with my amp right next to the case, making a mental note to bring it back home and not just leave it here again. 

“I’m going to order a pizza.” Tian mutters, pulling out his phone from his bag, then glances at Micah who gives a thumbs up and gestures somewhere  for some reason. “Pineapples or no, this is very important.” 

That turned into a whole debate between Micah and I over pineapples or not. Pineapples do great on pizza, I have no idea what he’s talking about. Honestly that was the stupidest debate I’ve been in ever. I stay over at their place, (Micah and Tian just got Just Dance, how could I say no to that even though I absolutely suck) until about midnight.
