#The Guild Codex: Demonized

[a-resplendent-mushroom]

the hanged man: sacrifice, release, and new perspectives. the card suggests letting go and seeing things from a different angle.

what's this? i'm making a guild codex major arcana series?

it was just too perfect to pass up lmao. i used the classic tarot deck design, which is why the background is so minimalist...i saw the meaning of this card and immediately thought of zylas, since his opinions on dumb hh'uainun completely changes XD

uhhhhhhhh @brb-on-a-quest @ohumokay

5 times Zylas asks a question + the one time Robin answers

This is one of my favorite scenes from the third book, and I forgot to post it! So there it goes. The part where I lost my mind.

The Guild Codex 12 Days of Christmas Day 1

Amalia: What did you do to make Zylas want to celebrate Christmas, anyway?

Robin: I didn't do anything actually, he was just looking at a book on old Christmas traditions and said he wanted a tree.

Amalia: Huh. That seems odd.

*2 Hours Later*

*Fire alarm blaring*

Robin: What happened?!

Amalia, fighting with a fire extinguisher: The tree caught fire!

Robin: How?!

Amalia: Ask your demon!

Zylas: The flames from the candles have ignited the tree.

Robin: Wait, what candles?

Zylas: The ones on the tree.

Robin: Why were there candles on the tree?!

*Amalia putting out fire with flailing efficiency*

Zylas: Decoration. I saw it in the book. It seemed warm.

Robin: Zylas, we use artificial lights now. They're a lot less likely to cause fires.

Zylas: Zh’ūltis. Why have bright, obnoxious lights if they aren't even warm?

Some of these characters aren't the "true" main characters in their respective series, but they are the most central female characters in their universes.

Zylas: Can you pass me the pepper?

Robin: What's the magic word?

Zylas: ... begins chanting in the demonic language

Robin, panicking: Just take it, oh my god!

Chocolate and confusion

He stood at the counter, staring down at the box of chocolates, the fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows over his face. After a long moment, he lifted a hand and touched the edge of the box.His tail slashed sideways—and he shoved the chocolates off the counter. They crashed to the floor, the small delicacies scattering over the linoleum.

I would love to read this scene from Zylas' POV!!

And this scene too!!

Zylas was scrutinizing me, his eyebrows low over critical red eyes.“Um.” I blinked. “Zylas?”He turned to the demon mage. “Nailēranis et nā. Eshaillā kir?” “Probably.” Jaw tightening, Zylas returned his stare to me, his expression intent as though he were rearranging his understanding of my incomprehensible human brain.

Was he comprehending why Robin is in danger of the other mages and what it meant when they said "you have the look"? Or was he wondering about her panicked reaction to his strength when he chose to "make her squirm"?

Zylas liking Robin feeding him and then destroying the strawberries when their wires get crossed always has me squealing.

Like Robin, my twin, WHO CARES WHAT AMALIA THINKS KISS THE MAN HE'S POURED PART OF HIS HEART OUT TO YOU

Damned Souls and a Sangria by Annette Marie - blurrypetals review

originally posted nov. 5, 2024 - ★★★★☆

I don't know why I never read this back in 2020. Sure, the audiobook wasn't out by the time I finished Lost Talismans and a Tequila in September, but I don't know why I didn't return when this was finally released on audiobook in November. I do remember losing some momentum with the series at the time, but having read this now, I'm disappointed in myself for waiting as long as I did, because I know I would have liked this so much better if I'd read it when the series was fresh in my memory.

That being said, I still did enjoy this a lot. I missed Annette's easy, fun banter and I ate it right up the same way I used to.

While I didn't remember hardly anything that was going on at first, I did still care about what was going on, about what would happen to these characters, particularly to Ezra and, by proxy, Eterran. It was also incredibly wonderful to see Robin and Zylas again! They're my favorites and always steal the show whenever they're on the page.

This was definitely a good conclusion to the Spellbound books and I'm looking forward to moving on to starting Warped and Unveiled!

Finished crochet zylas!! Can’t wait to make a few more characters from the guild codex! 😁

-Zylas, no, really

[the-guild-codex-hub]

I know that demons are able to detect lies and that's why they don't lie themselves, but like, is it a pride thing?? Is it that they can't? Or that they don't know how? I was just thinking about a situation where it would be convenient for Zylas to lie (an interrogation, for example). Would he be *able* to lie if he tried? Or is it that demons are phisically unable to? I don't remember any specification about this in the books, so I'm personally choosing to believe that demons can technically lie, but they hate it and they are soooo bad at it. Like, most they can do is give a half convincing "no", as if the word where phisically painful to say. Zylas would feel weird after that, so if he can help it, he'll choose to not say anything instead of lying.

I came across someone who had a Wasgij? advent calendar puzzle set. The concept was 25 mini puzzles, the "photo" of the puzzle was actually a "hint" showing the scene 10 min prior to the picture on the puzzle pieces.

This of course made me think of Zylas et Vh'alyir. I think if I was a neighbor for them, who has some vague clairvoyant magic. What if ...

I had new neighbors and my magic dreamed up some housewarming gifts for their apartment. Bonus points of I don't realize I have magic/think I am a human: I just think I have excellent instinct/luck with these sorts of things.

Without knowing who is moving in. I go out and show up with a bag containing organic madagascar vanilla beans, saffron and saigon cinnamon, a 1000 piece Wasgij? Puzzle (or alternative. See Reddit post link below. Please let me know if there is an option you think Zylas would like on this theoretical story) and a set of catnip mice.

I can see Robin politely accepting the gift and heading back in after some small talk. Only to go WTF. Q the debate between Robin and Zylas on if this is a bribe or a threat. What do they know? And debating with Zylas on if the correct response is to bake cookies and send one of them over, or to interrogate/ threaten.

This is all just silly/fun thoughts at the moment. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on the ideas, gifts, story ideas, puzzles, etc

Robin: Oh no guys I am sorry I am so so sorry.

Amalia: Slow down Robin, what happened?

Robin: So I tried to get through to Zai through music and he took to it really well.

Amalia: I don't see the problem-

Zai kicks down door

Zai: I am now a professional kazoo player and communicate only through kazoo. This is who I am now, deal with it.
