There’s a small piece of malachite in the center like an eye (protection, danger sense, resist temptation, luck, balanced eye on shortcomings, avoid taking on other people’s problems, healthiest, happiest, confidence), cradled in a silver pentacle, (focus, femininity, purity, clarity, persistence, vision, strength) and quartz (amplifying energy) beads on the outer silver circle.

( light of hope )

(Giovanna which pretty much everyone has decided is John’s “female” name and makes the Giorno parallels even more interesting puts on a subtle artifact-based glamour to have days off as “Maria”; got caught snooping at Lara’s though)

( most of it involves RPGs )

I may or may not end up writing this but if not here’s a prompt: Desmond as head of a third Fae faction in Dresden Files (I’m leaning Fall, but maybe Spring). Summer and Winter conspired to take the power of Fall and Spring between them, but enough was left that after their warring and other events weakening the two they could start to return. Dresden has no idea what to do with Desmond—because he’s human, and sometimes acts very human, but he doesn’t always act like any human Dresden’s ever met. He’s a Changeling, but the Lesser Courts have a very different approach to how that works, and tend to be closer to the mortal world (which is one of the reasons they were easier to overpower)...but also they have friends in the mortal world (Shaun & Rebecca) and are barely affected by cold iron (and in most cases actually kind of prefer using some type of iron weapon because they hold a grudge).

prompt: I have the feeling that a dismantling of the Council would start when they go for one of the kids of one of his employees for breaking a Law, and he'd breathe in his anger and breathe it out and start thoroughly and methodically breaking EVERYTHING

i am fairly certain the description of marcone is mostly because butcher got an idea he thinks was really cool (especially the money-colored eyes thing, hence the repetition) but it looks, a lot, like Foe Yay from the outside

if maggie was harry and marcone's kid somehow she'd have the flashy magic of harry but she'd actually have some control. i could see her even being one of the rare ones for whom magic does not interfere with tech (I vaguely remember reading that was a possible thing...but man, it's been probably more than 10 years?  so don't quote me on it)

EDIT: It also is missing 90% of the skeevy stuff.  Bob is more tame, even the SUCCUBUS episode happens to be...weirdly tasteful for the subject matter?  and have an oddly familiar character if you've seen certain scifi?  there's no white court, there's no winter mantle, there's no skeevy interactions with underage apprentice, there's only a touch of the chivalry thing and it's not the RUB IT IN YOUR FACE THIS IS GOOD FOR YOU version, women get to be competent without being SCARY and it's not so focused on the 'they are pretty' (okay, half of that might be the fact it's 3rd person + voiceovers, but  still).  What About Bob, an AMAZING episode with Bob, exists. The dragon episode exists.  I can ship him with Murphy and know i'm not relegating her existence to hell.  black people exist in chicago and are fairly prominent characters.  who are not evil just because they don't like the main character; they're good at their jobs and know the way this goes. lgbtq+, sadly, is not added from what I remember, but even there i'd call it a bonus because Lesbians For Male Gaze and Stereotypical Thomas Play-acting are minuses to the original, so.  also the plots make more sense.  except for Storm Front DVD edition, considering they cut the pilot in half and it no longer works.  also there's no sense of deciding who 'deserves' to be saved and who doesn't. also harry actually comes off as a powerful but still outclassed street wizard.  also sex isn't just Good for Male and has its downsides.

i'm curious about what marcone's Stand would be. terrified. but curious.
