okay but question
how do circle runes work??
like did valentine actually make an entirely new rune specifically to be his special shadowhunter-style dark mark?? if so, how??? like i thought runes were super special angel language stuff, and only super special angel blood clary can make them. so. what the fuck
or is it like, a rune was specifically designed to mean “for racist evil people” like raziel specifically designed a naturally occurring voldemort mark! seems legit
i guess the most likely answer is that the rune actually means something else, and is for some other purpose, and valentine adopted it to suit his means. after which point, it’s meaning was sort of lost (not lost so much as ignored) and it became a symbol of hate, like the swastika, which originally meant like, peace or something?? but is now associated with hitler and really bad things
anyway, if that’s the case… i have so many questions oh my fucking god
why is it so simple and straightforward when others aren’t? most runes are all elegant lines and criss-cross patterns or whatever, but nooo this is just a fuckin circle. okay then. why the fuck not
and what did it originally mean? did valentine choose it for its meaning? i mean like, “infinite” would make sense, because, you know, circle. and valentine would probably like something pretentious like that. but what the fuck would an infinite rune do?? seriously?? that’s an honest question, because i actually have no fucking idea
if not that, then what? and whatever it is, can people just like, not use it anymore? what if it’s something really useful? like valentine chose it because it’s super practical or something and now shadowhunters just straight-up can’t use it. like ever. i mean, for totally understandable reasons, but still.
or is it just some old, random and useless rune?? like valentine was like “no one uses this anyway so now it’s mine” and really the circle rune means like, “fantastic shaving ability” or “flaring your nostrils like, really well”. and all circle members can just flare their nostrils super good
or are there just a bunch of runes that don’t mean anything and valentine was like “oh, that one looks dope” and decided to make on his Symbol of Evil? where are these useless tattoos stored? is there some book in idris called “useless runes for dummies” or something??
or even worse, there’s just a bunch of runes that no one knows the function of because they’re just that damn Old as Balls and valentine chose one and hoped it wouldn’t kill him when he drew it?? and now every circle member is slowly getting rune cancer or something
or it’s still utterly useless and they just haven’t noticed that when they get on their tip-toes, it doesn’t hurt as much, or when they wear nail polish it always looks good and never chips
or is the circle rune just a symbol, not even a proper rune? like you could draw a dick on someone with a stele and as long as they had angel blood, it would take and leave a mark (if that’s possible, you can bet your ass jace has done that as a “prank”) so valentine was like “what should i do for my Evil Symbol?? ah yes, a circle, that would look dope” and he just drew a fuckin circle on his neck because why the fuck not? it looks cool, doesn’t it jocelyn?? yeah babe it looks totally badass see i told you lucian both of you have terrible taste
how did his followers react?? so, boss, what’s our Evil Symbol?? is it a hydra?? or a skull?? is there a snake? pls tell me there’s a snake get this: it’s a circle. pretty fuckin badass, right?? we can even like, call ourselves “the circle”. damn i’m a genius that’s lame shut up lulcian you smell like wet dog that doesn’t even make sense it will later in the timeline
like honestly what the fuck even is the circle rune
i haven’t slept in forever and this all i can think about why am i such a big nerd
