Epic III from Hadestown, rewritten to be about Nyrissa from Pathfinder Kingmaker. Apparently @starlightcleric ‘s second prompt for Owlcatober is ‘fey’?
(Contains Kingmaker spoilers for book one, though I know the story from my tabletop campaign, which is only loosely based on the Owlcat game, so I’m not sure when different bits of information are revealed)
Lyrics below:
Sundered apart is the heart of the queen
Queen of wasteland, queen of shale
The heart of the queen loves all she sees
As the hammer loves the nail.
But a mortal's heart is a simple one
Flowers and skin, flesh and blood
And all that she loves is her kingdom
Her kingdom is all that she loves.
And Nyrissa is queen of thorns and of stone
She blankets the land in mist and mistrust
She razes the forests to buttress her throne
And she harries and pierces and scars all of us.
But even that long-broken heart was once mortal
Before cups, before sands
Before laughing lies and hearts of marble
She'd build her own garden
She'd use her own hands—
She'd realize the vision she held in her eyes
A land of unending flowers
Where her people could rest beneath clearer skies
Protected by her power.
Singing la, la la la, la la la...
What has become of that once-mortal heart
Now that Nyrissa's queen?
What has become of that once-mortal heart
Broken and crushed like her dream?
The more she tears, the more she reaps,
The greater the void grows that lives inside her
See how she labors, see how she weeps
No one to care and no one beside her.
And she keeps on alone
And she keeps her hand hidden
She's grown used to hurting if she wants to survive.
But what she doesn't know
Or what she's forgotten:
The Lantern King lies.
Where is the treasure inside of your chest?
Where is your pleasure?
Where is your youth?
Where is the mortal with flowers in her hands
Who stood before the King
With so much to lose?
Singing la, la la la, la la la...

huxley’s zodiac chart
huxley zodiac chart time <3 i actually changed this chart around So much before i finally felt solid about it. it was a struggle not to just give him All taurus placements because i truly believe there is an argument for each placement here to be taurus. anyway
character analysis and astrology ramblings under the cut!
masterlist for the series
sun- taurus
moon- libra
rising- cancer
mercury- gemini
venus- taurus
mars- taurus
before we get into huxley’s actual chart, we should cover the topic of stelliums. in astrology, a stellium is a group of three or more planets in the same sign or house in a chart. there is some debate about what exactly qualifies as a stellium but the basic agreement is that the rising sign does not count (it isn’t a planet) and it has to be at least three from the inner planets (all listed here, including jupiter and saturn). the outer planets (uranus, neptune, and pluto) don’t count because they are considered to be generational planets (meaning that they are slow-moving and many people born around the same time share the placement) and might not have as much impact on your day-to-day life. asteroids also aren’t counted because they are a relatively new discovery added to astrology and not part of the inner planets. they’re more like the little details to the painting of a birth chart, compared to the broad strokes of the inner planets. as for what a stellium is like in practice, it is just a very concentrated energy of that sign or house. people with stelliums tend to go through stages of extremes where nothing is going on to everything is going right/wrong. this is because as the planets go through transits, if it affects (for example) one taurus placement of huxley’s, it would affect the rest too. as an example, if the sun was in taurus, not only would he feel the effects of that in his sun sign, but he would for his mars and venus as well. with all of that being said, i wanted huxley to have a taurus stellium, i feel its fitting and will explain why as we go.
taurus suns are extremely steady and dependable. taurus is the fixed earth sign so they often get the reputation of being stubborn. "bull-headed" is the term most often used because this sign is represented by the bull. but one thing about taurus is that they know when to choose their battles, and they do not choose lightly. taurus is a slow-moving sign, they spend their energy with purpose. i believe this definitely applies to huxley, stubborn on the things he wants to be, but ultimately chooses his battles wisely
libra moons are very friendly. they love people and love to talk to other people. libra moons also have a very strong sense of justice; they are represented by the symbol of scales after all. they take a lot of time with their feelings, weighing all options before moving forward. they very much value balance and peace. when i think about the expression of hux’s libra moon in canon, i think of his anger towards kody in his first audio but also his restraint toward kody during the inversion and how he spoke to damien through that (theres also that taurus “knowing when to choose your battles” thing there too)
the rising sign simply indicates the ruler of your first house, the house of self. it can also have an influence over your appearance. because cancer is ruled by the moon, cancer risings tend to have round faces (often called moon faces) and can have a more feminine appearance in general (regardless of agab). cancer risings come off as very friendly and caring individuals, which i think is shown perfectly in his first audio
huxley’s mercury sign was something i went back and forth a lot on. theres only three options (aries, taurus, and gemini) due to the nature of mercury, but i still struggled choosing. giving him a taurus mercury made sense because of his voice, taurus rules over the throat and when mercury (the planet of communication) is in taurus, the voice is often smooth, slow, and calming. and that is SO hux like FR. However.. hux rambles quite a bit and that is not characteristic of a taurus mercury at all. gemini mercuries on the other hand….. ramble city babey!! absolute chatter boxes <3 i think hux’s taurus stellium smooths out the gemini mercury’s chattiness a bit, but its definitely still there (and his stellium would explain the voice too tbh)
because taurus is ruled by venus, this placement is domicile! this means that the planet is comfortable in this sign. venus is the sign of beauty, relationships, finances, and aesthetics, among others. taurus venuses are often romantics who love love and have an appreciation for the finer things in a relationship, and life in general. once they commit they Really commit (the same can be said for the other fixed signs as well: leo, aquarius, and scorpio) and they tend to like to take their time when getting to know people. taurus venuses are extremely loyal as well. i think all of these things are applicable to dear hux <3
the opposite of a placement thats domicile is a placement that is detriment, which is the case for a taurus mars. scorpio is domicile for mars and the opposite of scorpio is taurus, so that makes it detriment. taurus mars are often slow to act. they may lack motivation beyond their comfort level (like failing the same elemental class multiple years in a row). and the previous elements of taurus are also exhibited for this planet (the planet of aggression, passion, and drive) as well: loyal, stubborn, values security. i think these all apply to hux for this area as well
