some lore-related questions for the carry on simon fandom

I'm writing a fic that depends on remembering certain aspects of the worldbuilding/magic system lore of the Carry On universe. Though I haven't read the books in a long time and can't find specific answers when I internet search them. I'm currently rereading the books too. But if anyone has any answers to the following questions I'd be so grateful!

Can mages write down spells to make them work? Like if Simon were to write a spell down on paper... could that translate into a workable spell?

Do runes play any role in magic? (example: Elder Futhark runes, Latin runes, etc.) If there's currently no information on whether runes play a role in magic.... could they, feasibly?

Does anyone have any like. Comprehensive source for all the lore about the Catacombs? (Including visual appearance, entrances, different tombs, what's inside, etc.) (Tried looking it up, couldn't find much) (If some super cool person has ever made a map of it that'd be super super cool) (Although I know that's probably not likely lol)

That's all for now but I might have more questions later :') THANK YOU <3

[toodley]

tragically realized i can't keep writing my snowbaz fanfic until i've reread the books again because it's been 5 years since my last reread and i've entirely forgotten how baz and simon talk

[toodley]

wish me luck for the upcoming week which involves:

finishing finals

concert

hosting evil extended family

nighttime road trip

massive wedding

starting new research position

my period

[toodley]

it was always strange being the token underachieving & unpopular friend in an otherwise insane friend group full of published research scientists, prom queens, millionaire-rich kids who'd summer in the swiss alps & take the yacht out for their birthdays, ivy league admits, winners of global competitions, record-breaking athletes, student body presidents, etc. and i. would write klance fanfiction during study hall.

it's frustrating when the only people you can vent to are the people you want to vent about so instead you just sit there silently taking repeated psychic damage

[toodley]

if you are a freeloader in group projects i fear you will not survive the oncoming winter because i am

💥💥💥EXPLODING YOU WITH MY MIND💥💥💥

i love cleaning my room and being periodically reminded that i own a sword gifted to me by my friend and engraved with the words "forth eorlingas"

life is good

[toodley]

are you Remus Lupin chronically ill (undergoing a monstrous transformation with every flare-up that distorts your body and sense of self) or Frodo Baggins chronically ill (dragging the burden of pain and fatigue that only worsens with each step) or Baz Pitch chronically ill (feeling undead, alienated from others, and completely isolated in your suffering)

bagginshield letters

(AKA Bilbo's first letter to Thorin following their quest to the Mountain, beginning a long year of back-and-forth pen-palling between Erebor and Hobbiton) (from a Bagginshield post-quest pen pal fic I'm writing)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thorin, and Company :

Made it home safely — though not without some bothers along the road — namely a certain Grey wizard we know. (Please do not tell Gandalf I said this about him. Would rather not be turned into a toad. Thank you.)

It is spring here. The weather is quite pleasant. I think you would enjoy it, should you ever find yourself at my doorstep by happenstance. I recall you expressing an interest in flower languages, and I would hate for you to mistake tansy as an appropriate well-wishing gift again. Luckily we Hobbits are experts in all things of the earth, and I would be more than happy to impart my knowledge on a willing student. (That student being you. Not sure if I made that clear.)

If it is not happenstance that brings you to the Shire, I hope my company would be temptation enough and that you would make it here anyhow.

You are welcome at any time. The kettle goes on at four.

: Bilbo Baggins

P.S. If you ever do decide to stop by, I would be more than happy to accept a bag of those roasted nuts from Dale as payment for lodging.

P.P.S. That was a joke. I would, of course, house you for no cost. But do still bring the nuts, please.
