Prompt 291

You know what? I’m feelin’ a Prompt with the whole halfa family, all the clones and everything. 

See, Danny? He’s grown up, he’s moved out, started looking at colleges himself after spending a few years travelling and learning about himself without the threat of a ghost attack. 

He’s kept in touch with his friends, both living and dead, and ignores Vlad for the most part now that they’ve reached a truce of sorts, and honestly? He’s just living his life. 

But see, it’s kind of hard to figure out what college to pick, with his admittedly not-great choices. Look, he might have a new-ish ID but he’s still visibly not exactly human (though thankfully doesn’t have to worry about the GIW after a… summer activity that ended with several missing buildings) 

And most people he goes to? Finds him ‘too unsettling’ which excuse him?? How is he unsettling? He’s a twenty-five year old with six kids ranging from one to six! How is that “scary” huh? Ancients, and all this is making him use the cash he’s saved up over time. 

And then- as though all of this isn’t stressful enough and he’s not genuinely worried that he won’t have enough money to feed the kids if he goes to school- a hero nearly trips over Jordan and starts freaking out. He is so fucking done.

The constellation of Orion // Dawson Fehr

Read below the cut to learn more about the stars in this image!

Of course, the two brightest stars in Orion are Rigel (β Orionis) at the bottom right and Betelgeuse (α Orionis) at the top right.

Rigel is named after the Arabic word rijl, meaning "left leg". Indeed, it is the left leg of Orion. Rigel is a quadruple star system, with the primary being a blue supergiant star.

Betelgeuse is named after the Arabic phrase Yad al-Jawzā’, meaning "hand of Orion." Europeans misread the "y" sound as a "b" sound, leading to the modern name. Betelgeuse is a solitary red supergiant star.

In the middle of Orion is Orion's Belt, composed of three stars:

Alnilam (ε Orionis) is named after the Arabic phrase al-niẓām, meaning "string [of pearls]". It is a solitary blue supergiant star. It is the center star in the belt.

Alnitak (ζ Orionis) is named after the Arabic phrase an-niṭāq, meaning "the girdle." Alnitak is a triple star system, with the primary being a blue supergiant. It forms the left star in the belt.

Mintaka (δ Orionis) is named after the Arabic term manṭaqa, meaning "belt". Mintaka is a multiple star system with the primary being a blue supergiant. It forms the right star of the belt.

Other stars in Orion in this image include (from brightest to dimmest):

Bellatrix (γ Orionis), named after the Latin word bellātrix, meaning "female warrior." It is a solitary blue giant star.

Saiph (κ Orionis) comes from the Arabic phrase saif al jabbar, meaning "the saif [or sword] of the giant." Saiph is a solitary blue supergiant star.

η Orionis is a quadruple star system, with the all members being blue giant stars.

Meissa (λ Orionis) is named after the Arabic phrase Al-Maisan, meaning "the shining one." This is a multiple star system, with the primary being a blue giant star.

τ Orionis is a solitary blue giant star.

π5 Orionis is a binary star system, with the primary being a blue giant star.

π6 Orionis is a solitary red giant star.

[bookishbethanyerin]

So you want to read ✨Zodiac Academy✨ but when you look up the series, you have no idea where to start. The prequel novella? The prequel *series*? Book 1? There are multiple ways (and no true right way!) to approach this, but there is a way that I think is best suited for binge-reading *and* makes the most narrative sense!

So without further ado: my updated Zodiac Academy recommended reading order.🤓

✨Seth on the Moon and Night are both available ~for free~ in the authors’ Facebook group (Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti’s Reading Tribe)

I'M NOT TOO LATE FOR @valvertweek !! I had to do something for those kooky kids, I just had to !

They make an habit to go together for a walk after work. After all, they need to walk the dog, and also the new puppy *ba-dum tssss*

And the cats, because it's not a Wilwy drawing without cats, and also they love them, I love them, and the cats love going for a walk.

Valjean's shirt is an idea of the great @crow-songs-at-dawn.

I have no idea what they named the new dog.

EDIT: @calimera62 suggested that Javert wanted to name the dog "Justice" and Valjean refused. Valjean opted for "Brioche" or "Cookie" and Javert was horrified. Finally they let Cosette name it. The dog is now called Robert.

Prompt 218

“Moom, there’s yellow-eyed creeps fighting ninjas outside the window again!” 

Danny sighed, taking a deep breath- in for ten, out for eight- as he set the pot he was cleaning back in the sink. Dan- currently six- came running in from the living room of the apartment, where he was watching TV. Or he should have been if not for the bullshit outside. 

He sighed again, picking up baby Ellie- currently closer to two- out of her highchair (even if she could just float out) and let his oldest drag him to the window. Sure enough, another fight was happening, with no vigilante in sight stopping it. Look, he knew most people didn’t live here, but it was still rude. 

“Jordan, remember how I told you how violence isn’t always the answer?” Danny asked sweetly, Dan’s expression shifting to a wicked grin as he opened the window. “Feel free to practice tossing some fireballs while I clean up your sister, yeah?” 

Ah, the sweet sound of surprised cursing and startled ecto-signatures. Maybe they’d be polite enough to take their spar elsewhere.

Hear no evil. Speak no evil. See no evil.

Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka!

They're the Descendants in the Isle of Dawn. Three friends that appear to be young men that are the self-proclaimed welcome committee of the isle. They all look up to Betelgeuse highly as a senior.

They are named after the three stars in the Orion Belt, and are themed after the three wise monkeys. Also, all of them are fluent in sign language!

(More about them under the cut!)

These three are named after the stars in the Orion Belt and are themed after the three wise monkeys.

Alnitak - "Hear no evil"

Alnitak is the most vocal of the group. He seems like a mischievous troublemaker, and he may talk bluntly, but he's actually pretty sweet. Sometimes he could be tactless but he almost always means well unless he thinks someone deserves the flak. Give him a ball of yarn and he's bound to knit you a warm sweater to cuddle in during the cold days.

Alnilam - "Speak no evil"

Alnilam seems to be the voice of reason of the group. He is hard of hearing and mute, so he mostly communicates via sign language. He can't produce honking sounds on his own, so he uses his own personal instrument to alert/detect other sky kids. He may seem intimidating at first since he appears serious, but he's kind! He's always up to lend a helping hand to those who need it.

Mintaka - "See no evil"

Mintaka is the quietest and shyest of the group. He often prefers to be on his own, but seemed to feel comfortable with his friends, Alnilam and Alnitak. He often appears aloof; unbeknownst to him, he has more than a few admirers from afar. Among the three, he's the first one to befriend Saiph because he's rather soft-spoken like a calm Rigel.

Andre, meanwhile, rode on his own horse beside Orion a good ways ahead of the others to talk privately. Erika, Charlie, Bill, Carewyn, and Skye all watched them from a distance – they couldn’t hear what the two Princes were saying, but their discussion appeared very serious. Andre’s posture was oddly stiff and guarded, and Orion’s looked oddly submissive and detached.  Then, very abruptly, Andre actually started to laugh. The sound startled everyone, Erika most of all. “What?” said Erika. “What’s so funny?” Orion looked back at them with a small wry smile. “Merely shoes, my lady.” “Shoes?” repeated Erika, bewildered. “Don’t bother questioning it,” Skye sighed tiredly from her spot in the driver’s seat as Orion faced forward again and continued his conversation with Andre. “Orion never stays focused on one thing whenever he’s talking to somebody – be glad he didn’t randomly start talking about swallows and the color green…” “Those were brought up too, actually,” Andre said loudly over his shoulder. He flashed Carewyn an amused look, and Carewyn couldn’t help but smile a bit in return. It really sounded like they were finding common ground…

~Cinderella AU, Part 11: The Truth Comes Out

x~x~x~x

Hey all! Had this image in my head of Orion and Andre in the Cinderella AU, and at work, I decided to try to sketch it out! (God bloody hell, are horses hard!)

Orion and Andre -- who are princes of their respective countries of Florence and Royaume in this AU -- are both dressed somewhat uncharacteristically in this, as peasant-raised bastard prince Orion had to dress in his finest supposedly to seek out a formal meeting with the royal family of Royaume and Andre had to dress in a peasant-worthy (but still fashionable) disguise originally picked out by Carewyn to sneak out of his palace. Both, however, are inspired by pre-Renaissance fashion -- Orion's is more monochromatic because his country, Florence, is based off Italy, which embraced a much more conservative and less flashy sense of dress in that period. (Royaume -- and the country that inspired it, pre-Renaissance France -- has more colorful fashion, by and large.) You'll also notice Andre's horse is garbed with reins and a saddle, which Orion is riding bareback with no reins: I see Orion having first learned how to ride a horse bareback and preferring to let his steeds walk about completely free of reins or a saddle whenever possible.

As for the conversation alluded to in the quote above...well, I imagined it largely involved Carewyn. Because Andre was most displeased by the thought that Orion might've only engaged with his first real friend in the world and fashion buddy for life!! in an underhanded attempt to try to get at him. Fortunately Orion was eventually able to put Andre's mind at ease.

"I confess, there was a time, right after learning Carewyn was in your employ, that I saw her as my way in, to try to reach out to your family and broker peace between our countries. But even then, I never saw her as a tool, nor a pawn of any sort. Carewyn is...easy to admire. She is intelligent and compassionate -- courageous and creative. She is intriguing and contradictory, in the most likable of ways. She is modest, and yet proud -- she is stoic, and yet passionate. At points it feels like she would accept nothing less than flying heaven-bound, like an eagle, and yet, truthfully, I see her more akin to a swallow...preferring to guide others back toward shore and home, after a long year at sea. She is...inspirational. Least of all because...she saw fit to forgive my transgression toward her -- my deception of her -- with merely faith in me as her stated reason. However much I hoped that she would, and however much I thought I knew her well enough that I thought she might understand my reasoning...I cannot deny that Carewyn would have had more than enough reason to cast me off, and quite discourteously. And yet my Lady Greensleeves...did not. Moreover, she actually spoke in defense of me. ...I can't even express how that makes me feel, it's a relief, but also...emboldening, warming. ...Inspiring." "...You...really do love Carewyn, don't you?" "...Most ardently." "Hm. ...Well...I admit, you do sound sincere. Though it still seems like an odd coincidence, that you two should collide right after Carewyn came to stay in the palace..." "I am one to believe in fate far more than coincidences. I know that Carewyn does not share my view, however. (small smile) ...Truthfully...I think I may have to thank you." "Me? Why?" "Well, from what I understand from Carewyn, you were the one who outfitted her, the day we met. I doubt Carewyn and I would've walked and talked as much as we did together, had it not been for your dreadfully uncomfortable pair of shoes."

This -- and Andre's laughter in response to it -- effectively broke the ice between the two princes. And from that point on, Prince Henri "Andre" of Royaume and Prince Cosimo "Orion" Amari VII of Florence considered each other friends.

"Goood morning, afternoon, evening, and eternity, for those who don't experience a day cycle-"

The radio host spoke with a clear and loud voice, beginning to talk about some news within the cosmos before getting interrupted by a door slamming open in his studio. One of the workers was out of breath, trying to explain something to Orion. He told them to slow down and take a deep breath.

"Rigel, he's-"

They didn't even need to finish speaking before Orion's eyes widened. He took off his headphones and got up from his seat.

"He's- I- what-?! Is he really-? I- shoot, I figured I had at least a bit longer with him-!"

Orion ordered the worker to take his spot and fill in while he panicked, trying to collect his stuff. He blew past other workers who began to wonder where the star was going. (And I mean star in both a media star and literal star ;])
