Debuting at the fair this October, @riotbones.bsky.social's 'War and the Maiden' sees War and a historian meet in a library at the end of the world, in a reckoning between memory and myth. As ruins smoulder beyond the walls, they trade stories, catalogues of atrocities, and unanswerable questions.

They say lunar eclipse stories play out 6 months and solar eclipses play out a year.

Saturn in Pisces (institutions/limits in a watery, boundary-blurry sign) systems trying to enforce limits even as things are emotionally saturated and unclear.

Saturn & Neptune themes show up as authority vs. illusion.

Gemini’s desire for variety, and Virgo’s demand for precision.

By early afternoon, the mood brightens considerably as the Moon connects with Venus and then Mars in fairly quick succession. This pings their sextile which is due to perfect on Tuesday. Venus brings charm, warmth and…

The text reads: "'Once Upon a Time' is a KCD zine, for all characters and ships. The zine is open to prose, poetry, and essays, as well as comics and single art pieces. Our theme, 'fairy tale', includes Arthurian legends, folk tales, and thematic myths. For essays, writers can also contribute historical and analytical essays that go beyond fairy tales. Our contribution deadline is the 31st of December, with the finished digital zine going on sale in the beginning of February.
