Story: Battle strategy cards;‘Stellar Charm’ One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill

‘Angel Casablancas’ and their twin sister ‘Cassidy Casablancas’ are the reigning ‘Stellar Charm Card’ champions of the city. Why? From all the students and inhabitants of the city ‘One Tree Hill’ named after the ominous forest from which the entire town surrounds, the mythos and legends surrounding the condemned huaunted forest and tree upon the top of the highest mountain in the city seems to share a grim tale about a series of suicide that concerned the towns ever budding congregation that used to meet weekly for church gatherings at the foot of the ominous tree at the very top of the ecclesiastical tree, now condemned the fellowship now meets else where disbanded and scattered after the horrific events that were the result of students jumping from the top of the building, tree and mountain falling to the their deaths at the bottom of the city beneath the mountain. Walled off and forbidden territory as the signs and gates proclaim on the walls of the forbidden forest students constantly enter in hopes of finding the lost cards of a popular card game that once reigned within the town. ‘Stellar charm cards was a game of unique personal skill and talents that required one to sing, dance and use personal talents to summon your cards constellations the power from which the cards drew from. Unbeknownst to some of the students and card users, some had more than others and the more you possessed the more powerful you were compared to some who only possed two if only even one. The losers of these card games tragically forced if not pushed to end their lives from jumping to their doom amused the congregation leader who sought posses and collect all the cards. But the two twins, secretly would go from card user to card user in private consoling them and confiding within them in order to collect their card in secret, then adding their card to their book of protection, thereby spearing that student or card user from having to suicide. If one didn’t run the Forest deadly maze a deadly obstacle course of doom and make it out alive then there was no way for one to enter the condemned forest in hopes of connecting with one of the ‘stellar sacred tree’s’ one would find in hopes of connecting their soul with a sacred trees constellation of power. Thus, how the card game was born from the now candy factory that would harvest the strange fruits the trees would produce in order to create their sacred foods the town would consume in order to bring forth the unknown power within them.

Star Names

I have, once again, gotten into Harry Potter fanfiction. To be specific, Rigel Black chronicles recursive fanfiction.

So I'm making my way through wikipedia, going through the constellations and star names, making notes on the ones that are most Given Name-like, ignoring the ones that are after 1980 (quite a few), and noting the ones that might still be too modern/muggle for the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black.

Then I bought a book called Star Names, their Lore and meaning by Richard Hinckley Allen* and went through that. Given how confusing the book is to me, and how it includes poetical names as well as designations, I've marked the beginning of his contributions with *, the end with (RHA).

After all that work, I may as well share it.

Organised by Constellation, the genitive, and sometimes the constellation's abbreviation. Then the names of stars, which I haven't sorted at all. I used the Caelum constellation as a cutoff, which was something like 1756, which cut out suprisingly little compared to the post 1990 cutoff. The IAU has been Busy the last few decades, so many wonderful star names...

Rating each of the 88 IAU designated constellations based on how good they would be as a name for a member of the Black family because I’m bored and this road trip will take at least 2 more hours.

Andromeda: 10/10 no notes. It’s perfect disaster name material.

Antila: 6/10 I feel they would be the weird middle child of the family

Apus: 5/10 could be good as a domineering father figure, otherwise I wouldn’t want to call my edgy soft boi Apus Black

Aquarius: 3/10 would get made fun of and not taken seriously

Aquila: 7/10 perfect name for an adventurous lesbian that got disinherited yet is a total badass

Ara: 1/10 I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from thinking Ara Ara Black

Aries: 9/10 perfect antagonist name

Auriga: 2/10 just doesn’t really roll off the tongue well

Boötes: 3/10 not bad, but the double Bs knock it down a few points

Caelum: 6/10 good as the edgy second in command to an antagonist, otherwise unremarkable

Camelopardis: 0/10 horrible would only be made fun of for being named the objectively worse version of giraffe

Cancer: 0/10 do I even need to explain

Canes Venatici: 2/10 to many syllables

Canis Major: 4/10 could see this being used as the name for an older twin, but not on its own

Canis Minor: 4/10 ditto but for the younger twin

Capricornus: 3/10 maybe as a medieval ancestor, but not as a modern black

Carina: 8/10 younger sister name

Cassiopeia: 10/10 amazing

Centaurus: 2/10 this would probably offend the actual centaurs

Cepheus: 5/10 total emo recluse name

Cetus: 7/10 short and snappy, perfect for an overbearing father

Chamaeleon: 4/10 I could totally see them using this out of pure spite

Circinus: 3/10 at best a great-grandfather, otherwise horrible

Columba: 8/10 would be a soft and gentle older sister

Coma Berenices: 0/10 too many syllables and has coma in the name

Corona Australis: 0/10 too specific

Corona Borealis: 0/10 see above

Corvus: 10/10 the ultimate emo boi name

Crater: 8/10 would play beater on the house team

Crux: 8/10 definitely a middle child with something to prove

Cygnus: 8/10 a daddy you don’t want to mess with

Delphinus: 6/10 the secretive bastard daughter who has inherited angst

Dorado: 2/10 too many Os

Draco: 10/10 Draco Malfoy adopted by the Blacks AU vibes

Equuleus: 5/10 too many Us, other could be good for a grandfather

Eridanus: 5/10 if you place the emphasis on the i then it works, otherwise not

Fornax: 3/10 probably sounds cooler than the person with the name actually is

Gemini: 4/10 youngest child energy

Grus: 6/10 people would think it’s a nickname then be surprised it’s their real name

Hercules: 9/10 though it would probably end up being used be someone with extremely supremacist views, ruining the name for everyone else

Horologium: 0/10 imagine introducing yourself as ‘watch’

Hydra: 6/10 would defiantly be the younger brother of Hercules

Hydrus: 5/10 either the worse version of Hydra or the better version

Indus: 4/10 coloniser vibes

Lacerta: 9/10 absolutely the daughter that ran away from the family becuase she loved a Muggle

Leo: 10/10 I’m biased

Leo Minor: the inferior sibling of Leo

Lepus: 1/10 sound too much like Leper

Libra: 4/10 Le Bruh Black

Lupus: 8/10 Lupin gets adopted by the Blacks AU vibes

Lynx: 6/10 you think they’re gonna be all edgy and intimidating but they’re actually soft and apologetic for their crazy name

Lyra: 9/10 pure spice, I love it

Mensa: 0/10 I can’t think of anything I like about it

Microscopium: 0/10 like, BRUH, why

Monoceros: 6/10 the Uncle that’s a bit too into blood purity and duelling

Musca: 2/10 I- I mean, really?

Norma: 5/10 the boring and unremarkable young sister

Octans: 7/10 I could see it being used as the name of an aide

Ophiuchus: 0/10 horrible

Orion: 10/10 it’s perfect

Pavo: 4/10 that cousin you only see once every few years and aren’t quite sure how you’re related

Pegasus: 8/10 kinda heroic, I could see this being used for a main character

Perseus: 7/10 same comment as above, just a weaker version of it

Phoenix: 8/10 the hot headed brother, though given that phoenixes are real it’s kinda like naming your child cheetah

Pictor: 1/10 if a black family member ever became a grave digger, it would be Pictor

Piscis: 3/10 could be worse. I imagine this child would be mostly forgotten about though

Piscis Austrinus: 1/10 the worse version of Picsis

Puppis: 6/10 excitable younger sibling energy

Pyxis: 8/10 a name for a younger sibling who reads a few too many dark magic books

Reticulum: 1/10 horrible. Absolutely horrible

Sagitta: 7/10 people would think it’s a nickname for Sagittarius, but it actually works on its own

Sagittarius: 5/10 could just use Sagitta as a nickname

Scorpius: 9/10 almost as emo as Corvus. Almost.

Sculptor: 3/10 I could see them using it as the name of an ancestor who lived before the 17th cenfury

Scutum: 1/10 sounds too much like scrotum. Anyone who would be named this would have anger issues

Serpens: 3/10 sounds incomplete

Sextans: 3/10 in the same boat as Sculptor

Taurus: 10/10 absolutely perfect for a Father or Uncle that is an amazing duellist and is mad when his son isn’t

Telescopium: 0/10 hmm yes I would like to seeeeeee

Triangulum: 0/10 triangulate a better name

Triangulum Australe: 0/10 no that’s worse

Tucana: 8/10 either an adoring mother or the youngest brother

Ursa Major: 4/10 good older twin name

Ursa Minor: 4/10 good younger twin name

Vela: 5/10 I could see this being used, but it would cause problems with the Veela community

Virgo: 6/10 but only if pronounced as Vir(j)o Black instead of Vir(g)o Black

Volans: 6/10 semi-decent, but definitely not the oldest child

Vulpecula: 3/10 any child named this will immediately become angry

*snicker* Feanor!Ace All The Bastards 'verse! Where Nolo and Ara, at the least, are a bit discombobulated with how easily Ace is accepting them as siblings. Only to have Ace give them a tired glance because yeah, about that - And THAT is how the children of Finwe find out that /this/ version of their brother has ALL the half-siblings. Most of whom are even now descending upon Insomnia out of the sudden urge to make sure these NEW relatives aren't mistreating Ace.

“You know,” Arafinwë says as he and his brothers engage in tea time, “I am rather surprised at how easily you seem to accept us, given everything.”

Ace - their brother goes by Ace now - gives Arafinwë a tired half smile. There’s a glimmer in Ace’s eyes - the same shining silver of Fëanor - that makes Nolofinwë think of trouble.

“Well,” Ace says after a brief silence, “I do have other half siblings.”

Nolofinwë blinks.

“We’ve met Noctis.”

“Yeah,” Ace says, “He’s not the only-“

Ace is cut off by the sound of crystal breaking and the garnet on Ace’s bracelet - gold and inlaid with many different coloured gems- glows brilliant before it stops and body crashes into the table.

Ace sighs like this is something he should have expected.

Nolofinwë does not have sword on him. A good thing, he’s been twitchy ever since they’ve come to Insomnia. Nolofinwë keeps his face calm, stern, a kingly look and one he stole from Finwë.

The man that’s crashed into the table picks himself up without so much as a groan and spins on his heel to point at Ace.

Arafinwë raises an eyebrow.

“You!” The man says, he is a thin thing, all long limbs and bone and his eyes a burning red against the pale of his skin, “Aether Lucis Caelum! You are the worst brother EVER!”

Brother? Nolofinwë thinks and shares a glance with Arafinwë.

They didn’t know Ace had any other brothers beside them and Noctis.

“I had to find out you DIED FROM PERSEPHONE!” the man howls, “AND THEN JUPITER HAD TO TELL ME YOU HAVE MORE BROTHERS? WHY DON’T YOU EVER ANSWER YOUR PHONE! ARDOR USES THE GROUPCHAT MORE THAN YOU!”

Ace blinks quickly as if realizing something.

“Oh yeah,” he says, “I need to replace my phone.”

The man crosses his arms and scowls at Ace.

“I made that phone for you! How did you break it?”

“Uh.” Ace spares a glance at the elves watching. “Casual regicide?”

The red eyed man opens his mouth once and then closes it.

Ace gives an awkward smile.

“Anyway, Arafinwë, Nolofinwë, this is one of my half-siblings, Thanatos. Say hi Than.”

“Don’t tell me what to do I’m older than you.”

“Than.”

Thanatos huffs and turns his gaze to the elves.

“If you hurt him,” Thanatos says cheerfully, “I will break you!”

“Thanatos no.”

“You gave Hemlock a shovel talk I can give your other brothers a shovel talk.”

Ace sighs.

#royal bastard au #all the bastards verse #hehehe #later: they meet Ardor who stares them down with a knife in his hand #and the Jupiter corners them somewhere #Persephone waits till their in a garden and pleasantly informs them that they aren’t taking ace away thanks

Gastronomy Chart A silly piece depicting my personal experiences with food linked to various constellations in the sky.

Image ID beneath Read More cut contains over 70 food puns in a list. This is a long list, and a lot of puns, so I'm not going to subject everyone to all that without their consent.

[img id] 1st image: Digital art depicting food-themed constellations. Blue constellations are on a flat black background. It is labeled 'Gastronomy' along the bottom.

2nd image: Labeled black-and-white diagram of first image so that everyone can appreciate the puns. The labels are as follows, in alphabetical order:

Andromeda - "Pan"-dromeda Antlia - "Anchovy"-a Apus - A-"Parsnip" Aquarius - Asparagus Aquila - Aq-"Waffles" Ara - A-"Radish" Aries - Berries (say this one aloud) Auriga - Auriga-no (say this one aloud, too) Boötes - "Beer"-tes Caelum - "Cake"-um Camelopardalis - "Caramel"-opardalis Cancer - Boiled Crab Canes Venatici - Canes "Penne"-tici Canis Major - "Soda Can"-is Major (so it's a big plastic bottle) Canis Minor - "Soda Can"-is Minor (just the cat) Capricornus - Capri-"Corn"-us Carina - "Calamari"-na Cassiopeia - "Spaghetti"-opeia Centaurus - "Gin"-taurus Cepheus - "Cereal"-phus Cetus - "Sushi"-tus Chamaeleon - Chamaele-"oolong" Circinus - "Citrus"-inus Columba - "Cola"-mba Coma Berenices - "Chicken Korma" Berenices Corvus - Cor-"Vanilla"-s Crater - Was already food-related, so no pun necessary. Crux - Slice of Cake Cygnus - Roast Swan Delphinus - Del-"Fondue" Dorado - "Doragon Fruit" Draco - "Drink"-o Equuleus - "Egg"-uuleus Eridanus - Eri-"Danishes" Fornax - For-"Nachos" Gemini - Ge-"Mint"-i Grus - "Au" Grus Hercules - "Burger"-cules Horologium - "Hors-d'œuvre"-logium Hydra - Hyd-"Ramen" Hydrus - Hy-"Drumstick" Indus - In-"Dessert" Lacerta - It's a gummy lizard!

20+ Names That Mean Spider: Creativity, Wisdom, Resilience – Impeccable Nest

Spiders have long been the subject of fascination mixed with fear. Many cultures around the world have given names tied to these eight-legged creatures. Here are some of the more notable ones:

Aracely - This female name means "altar of spiders" in Spanish. Its roots come from the Latin words ara (altar) and caelum (sky or heaven). So the full meaning evokes spider webs placed beautifully under the heavens.

Arachne - In Greek mythology, Arachne was a talented young woman who was so skillful at weaving that she dared to challenge Athena herself. Arachne's works were deemed perfect, making the goddess jealous. Athena destroyed Arachne's tapestries and cursed her to become the first spider. The word later became the basis for "arachnid," the scientific classification for spiders.

Aranea - Directly translating to "spider" in Latin, Aranea makes for a nature-oriented name. It bri

Monday, August 28th || Latin

I am a hot fucking mess this morning, I didn't start my translation until 2 hours before I had to leave for class 😬

Because of this I didn't get my translation fully done before class, so there are a few lines missing from my at home translation.

The Latin:

Quid bella Tyro surgentia dicam, germanique minas? Dis equidem auspicibus reor et Iunone secunda hunc cursum Iliacas vento tenuisse carinas. Quam tu urbem, soror, hanc cernes, quae surgere regna coniugio tali! Teucrum comitantibus armis Punica se quantis attollet gloria rebus! Tu modo posce deos veniam, sacrisque litatis indulge hospitio, causasque innecte morandi, dum pelago desaevit hiems et aquosus Orion, quassataeque rates, dum non tractabile caelum.”

His dictis impenso animum flammavit amore, spemque dedit dubiae menti, solvitque pudorem. Principio delubra adeunt, pacemque per aras exquirunt; mactant lectas de more bidentes legiferae Cereri Phoeboque patrique Lyaeo, Iunoni ante omnes, cui vincla iugalia curae.

My at-home translation:

What of the war with Tyre and the rising threats of your brother? I believe, with the god's sight and Juno's favor, the Trojan ships kept their coarse to this place. What a city you, sister, will perceive here, what a rising kingdom with such a husband! With a Trojan army accompanying what glorious heights of Punic achievement! Just now you seek the gods favor, having sacrificed to them indulge the guest and weave a cause for delay, while winter rages the sea and watery Orion, having shaken the ships, while the weather is not favorable." Saying so, she burns the vast love in (???) and gives hope to waver mind and frees shame.

The corrected translation:

Why should I mention the war with the rising wars in Tyre And the threats of your brother? I think, indeed, by means of gods as protectors and favorable Juno, that the Trojan ships held this course on the wind. What a city you, sister, will perceive, and what kingdoms to rise With such a husband! With the weapons of the Trojans accompanying To what heights Punic glory will raise herself! Just now you seek the gods favor, with sacred things having been successfully offered Give indulgence to the guest and weave a cause of delay, While winter rages on the sea and watery Orion, The ships have been shaken, while the sky is not manageable.” These things having been said she inflamed her soul by means of vast love And gave hope to a doubtful mind and released her modesty. At first they approach the shrine and seek out favor by means of the altar; They kill two year old sheep, having been chosen, according to custom For law-bringing Ceres and Apollon and father Bacchus, To Juno before all, for whom the bonds of marriage are for a concern.

the night sky is “silent” yet still playing a universal symphony orchestrated by our beautiful mysterious Creator

like instrumental music and poetry, we see and hear things in nature just as we see written words

words that when taken inside become intertwined with our own heart and thought-life (the heart is where desire is “conceived” just as speech)

with God addressing Job:

Can you bind together a cluster of twinkling stars—

the seven sisters of Pleiades who keep company in the night sky?

Can you loosen the cords of Orion’s bow?

Can you lead the stars of the Zodiac out in their proper seasons

and guide the Bear with her cubs?

Do you know the rules of the heavens,

or apportion their influence on the seasons of the earth?

The Book of Job, Chapter 38:31-33 (The Voice)

God orchestrates “signs” in the heavens even as the stars align, yet we have no need of things such as astrology or horoscopes as forms of fortune-telling which are idolatrous in nature.

Israel in the course of their History went astray time and again from God’s truth, and some still don’t yet see their Messiah in Yeshua who the writing of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) points to. did you know there is a point in the world’s fiction that can become idolatry when it takes all the time of the heart & mind rather than focusing on our Creator and His truth as what is most sacred and treasured inside?

And we can see the rebirth of Israel on earth as a clear sign of God restoring the Jewish people and all Gentile believers are actually “ingrafted” into the Jewish Vine and its pure “Root” of Yeshua as Messiah over all of us

from the 36th chapter of the prophet Ezekiel:

Eternal One: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will bring people back into your desolate cities, and heaps of rubble will be turned into grand structures. The wasteland will be plowed and sown—a vast change from the emptiness those passing by are used to seeing. They will be amazed, saying, “This place used to be an empty wasteland. Now it’s like the garden of Eden! The cities were demolished, lying in ruins and completely abandoned. Now they are all restored, strong and full of people!” Then the nations near you will know that I, the Eternal, am the One who rebuilt and restored the ruined cities and replanted the empty wilderness. I, the Eternal One, promise to do exactly what I’ve said.

The Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 36:33-36 (The Voice)

And we see the significance of this in the heavenly city of the new Jerusalem with its foundation stones inscribed with the 12 apostles of Yeshua and the city’s 12 gates with the 12 sons of Israel (Jacob):

Heavenly Messenger: Come with me, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

He took me away in the Spirit and set me on top of a great, high mountain. As I waited for what I thought was a bride, he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. It gleamed and shined with the glory of God; its radiance was like the most precious of jewels, like jasper, and it was as clear as crystal. It was surrounded with a wall, great and high. There were twelve gates. Assigned to each gate was a messenger, twelve in all. And on the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Israel’s sons. On the east wall were three gates. On the north wall were three gates. On the south wall were three gates. On the west wall were three gates. And the city wall sat perfectly on twelve foundation stones, and on them were inscribed the names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb.

The Book of Revelation, Chapter 21:9-14 (The Voice)
