Time to talk about constyllations 🌠
What do they represent, is it a zodiac system just like we have? Are they represented by animals like ours? And are there people who can read the stars like horoscopes?
From what I have so far, each month has it's own constellation. It's how the first civilazations were able to tell when in the year it was. None of these constellations (or any for that matter) have names yet, but the months do. My world's calendar year still has 365 days, but it's divided into 9 months with 9 days in the week. Let's go down the list!
(Note: some of these don't have much lore yet, but I'll definitely update this post when I make more. I'll also add images eventually)
Faendal - The first month of the year, as well as the start of spring. It's constellation is a fairy, as they are the denizens of nature. It is said that the fae queen Tirabeth is the one who brings the spring. Over time, as civilizations grew, fairies became scarce (or at least began to spend more time in the fae realm instead). Because of this, people began to believe they were simply myths. Some people decided to interpret the constellation as a butterfly instead. The meaning then changed to signify rebirth, new life, and breaking out into beauty.
Spirental - The second month of the year, symbolized by a horse sign. As is the common symbolism, it represents freedom and spirited hearts. They, of course, are loyal and trusty travel companions who are both strong yet fragile. Some people have a more cynical view of the symbol as horses are usually given hard labor, symbolizing servitude rather than freedom. (Debating on adding lore to this one)
Braendil - The third month, symbolized by a warrior sign. I don't have a story for this one quite yet since I thought it would be cool if each culture had a different story/name to this astral character. The 11th day of the month also marks the start of the summer season.
Dusentig - The fourth month, symbolized by twin snakes. I was thinking it could represent duality, with one being "good" and one being "evil". I definitely want to add much more lore here, maybe with some mythical creatures or perhaps twin gods.
Wantelag - The fifth (and technically longest) month. This one also has two different symbols. The most common is a whale, representing grace and gentility. More inland/desert countries view the constellation as a waterskin, symbolizing life and adaptability. The 22nd day marks the start of fall.
Tenefeg - The sixth month, symbolized by a wolf sign. A known hunter, it represents tenacity and loyalty. I kinda want a lore story for this one too. (There's another fae god/spirit I have that takes on a wolf form. Maybe I'll had him in)
Bounvis - The seventh month, symbolized by a scythe. This month is the end of fall and the end of the harvest season. Not only does the symbol represent the harvest/bounty, it represents a clean slate, the end of an old era and the start of a new one. The 31st day marks the start of winter.
Resifes - The eighth month, symbolized by a hammer. I want this hammer to be one made by the dwarf god(dess) of creation. It represents craftiness and resilience. Because of this (and other reasons), I want this month to be a holiday season where people keep their spirits up by making crafts, and then giving them away at the end (think I made a post like this for another ask?)
Prospenas - The ninth and last month, symbolized by a dragon. It symbolizes strength, royalty, and prosperity. Some people think it can symbolize end times due to the destructive nature of dragons (and that this month is the end of winter and the year). Perhaps I'll make some sort of prophecy that may or may not be real??

“You mustn’t fall for this man, you must abandon such feelings at once.” Is he being a man of genuine concern or is that festering jealousy just too much for him to handle. He’s heard about this lord . . . prince . . . whatever he may be for far too long. Now, if his suspicions of her feelings being anything other than infatuation were proven correct, he would find himself a wreck.
“Even if your feelings are true, you cannot act on them. Think.”

she’d recognize that swagger anywhere. After all, Henry took after both of his parents. The gentle nature of his mother and the fierceness of his father. Elizabeth smiled as she thought about her family.
The Pirate King had heard rumors, that there was another Sparrow running about. A child of Jack. If you asked Elizabeth, she was surprised Jack didn’t have a whole horde of children. Unless he couldn’t sire offspring.
“Estrella Sparrow,” Elizabeth called out. Mischief lined her lips as she looked at the raven haired girl. Oh yes, she could pass for a Sparrow. “What brings you to the Pirate’s Cove?”

@constylations hit the heart!!
“ let me do that. ” speaking to sailors on the docks, it’s clear to anyone that this is her natural element, that she carries herself with a confidence exuded by very few around these parts. the job in question; lifting a crate. she wiggles her fingers under the ropes and hefts it with no hint of discomfort for her small size, despite the two men who had been struggling moments before. she carries it up the gangplank and onto the ship, not her ship, but someone’s, and sets it down on the deck with a thump.
people are looking and she smiles to herself, that should make anyone think twice about trying anything while she’s here. she moves to head back off the ship, and onto the rest of her day.

it hadn’t taken harry long to reach the docks so he busied himself with washing up after a hard days work, switching out his clothes for something cleaner and fresher before he made his way back off of the lost revenge in time for ella’s arrival. harry’s grin was mischief as he crept up behind the girl waiting on the wharf, hands grasping her hips suddenly as he spun her around to face him. harry gave her only enough time to recognize him before he leaned forward to claim her lips with his own in a hungry kiss.

don't mind essie, she's just here to give a lil smooch.
she always gave him random kisses and honestly he couldn’t get enough. after being apart from essie for so long, he would definitely accept all kisses that came his way. “ i absolutely love the random kisses. ”

♡ ⇢ @constylations : “I licked it.”
the fork is halfway to her mouth when audrey pauses, jaw still slack. hues peer down at the cake on her fork with disdain, her mouth twisting up. stomach flips, but she wills whatever threatens to come out back down to where it came from. “ right. ” placing the fork on the plate, she slides it over to ella. “ you know what? totes not that hungry anymore. you can have it. ”

Pale fingers guide themselves across rubicund, sleep - flushed cheeks. The flesh below the pads of his fingers are warm, delicate, much different than his own . . . But it was HE who had a hand in creating such a delicate, sweet babe, and her sister that sleeps in the crib adjacent. It’s their precious heartbeats, so faint dark hues must watch if their chests rise and fall, that lull him into a state of serenity. He would die for them a warming presence in the nursery’s doorway and their mother.
“ Maria’s finally asleep, ” he whispers softly to the shade in the doorway. Margarita slept as soon as her little head hit the padding of her crib; easy and well - mannered, like her namesake. This isn’t to discount little Maria. She is a happy babe in her own right, but fought sleep as if she was her father, fully accursed with restlessness. The vampire likes to imagine she fights sleep to stay with him, to watch and learn from him. A silly thought from a father who desperately adores his child.

she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t finding this particular dare difficult, and for it to be her very first dare felt like some sort of attack. noelani looked up from her phone and instantly regretted it as the next person she saw was estrella. noelani turned her camera towards herself and pouted, “ now this is just unfair. ” readjusting her phone, the surgeon bounded towards her good friend and placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. “ ella . . . i like the way you try. it’s just so, admirable. ”

INJURIED / HURT PROMPTS
↳↳ accepting ( @constylations )
“ if you die on me i’ll bring you back to life and kill you myself. ”
gonzo’s expression twisted into a blend of both offense and confusion. his experience with people from auradon was limited to what he had seen on television and while uma had told him more than once that what auradon showed on television was nothing more than lies, he was still a little startled that someone from auradon could be scary. least of all a princess. ella had one of his arms slung over her shoulders and was holding him upright with her arm wrapped securely around his waist. together, they hobbled down the narrow pathway in front of them and gonzo had to keep blinking blood out of his eye.
“ are you sure you’re a princess ? ” gonzo asked, his words somewhat slurred together as his tongue felt unnaturally heavy in his mouth. “ you sure don’t talk like one. ”

they were laying side by side on a bed way too small for two people, close enough together for eretria to feel estrella’s breath against her face. “it’s only fitting that we run away together and get a ship on our own.” maybe it was a crazy idea, but they were both daughters of pirates, it was in their blood to be wild from time to time. “... don’t you think?
