#🌊 : Chasing Memories

[heatherxmp]

Chasing Memories 🌊 ft. Hecate

A fresh starter for a dear friend, the kind @mphecate

🌊

   Time had passed and with it an array of brief but pleasant encounters of Heather and Hecate. At times he would pass her by on his way toward the university and be able to greet her that day. Other times he would see her through the window of some eatery and would catch her giving him a polite wave. He’d smile and wave back and there wasn’t a tinge of sorrow left in the act. Theirs had been a calmer thing that had righted itself not with forward actions to push them to talk and press the past they shared back.

  Their stable acquaintance and slow growing respectful friendship was the result of quietly accepting a rocky beginning, an honest discussion and then gentle moving forward. It was in the way that they didn’t rush anything to be fixed- they simply let things be. And with that unhurried time, Heather found himself happier to have the times when they did get to talk more.

  Like today when it seemed that time had allotted the pair a brief bit on the same walking path. Heather is out again in the relaxing evening glow of street lamps walking in the park, his headphones resting about his neck as he listens not to music but the sounds of the night starting to rise.

   “Hello,” he says when he sees her walking there too and it seems the most natural thing in the world to talk to her. “What brings you out tonight?”

💕Life Events🌊

💕4th house represents how u live and your comfort & how you are used to living - Taurus in 4th house - means you are used to comfort, money, luxury and material things. Which means that you like a home that is luxurious, in which you feel safe and warm. It would be difficult for you to live with someone who would not give you comfort. You like to take time for the things you like and you really don't like it when people chase you or give you the feeling that you are limited by time. Especially if your moon is in Cancer, it's hard for you to be with someone who doesn't have that nature.

Aries in 4th house - you are most used to your home being fiery, warlike and often able to do things for yourself. U are very independet and maybe you will find your home faster. Aquarius in 4th house- u may always feel like outsider in your family. But at the same time you will feel that you want to live a very unique life. And you will feel comfortable only in an environment that will be very different from normal.

🌊Water moons are often nostalgic. Which means that in some way they will always be looking for something that reminds them of the past and memories. Many times they can live for memories and people in their memories.

🏝️Geminis & libras will always be subject to society. And sometimes it will be difficult for them to go outside of it. Especially libra , it is difficult for you to be something other than what society expects of you. Because you want to impress others and you want them to be happy. Both signs are strongly associated with relationships and communication.

✨Aquarius are the only sign that knows how to be something that others don't dare to be. They like to go outside their comfort zone and like to be different from the others, not many times they do something that is the opposite of what society does.

❤️‍🔥Sagittarius can easily talk about illegal things - it's not a taboo topic for them. They like discussions that are more dangerous or not so loud. They themselves are also very open to the world and other cultures and can quickly adapt to other surroundings. People with a lot of Sagittarius live a hectic life with lots of adventure and exploration. They usually move at least once, if not several times.

💛The situation of the Sun in the birthchart often relates to the individual’s experience of the father—not necessarily the actual father, but all the people who played that role. Often the mother will actually play the father role, in which case it is that relationship which will be symbolized by the Sun.

🍸The 6th house denotes sickness, your body , your relationship with the body, how you take care of your body. The 8th house surgery, death, needles, blood. The 12th house hospitalization, isolation from people, prison.

🦋Scoprio North Node- have the ability to "tune in" to the hidden thoughts of others. When they stand near someone, if they open up to receive that person's energy they will know his or her character and motives. They want to "fix" the other person—their way. They have many ideas about how to alleviate the other's pain and better the situation. These folks know how to create success. However, if they get a bad feeling or begin to lose energy, it's a warning. It’s important for these folks to pay attention to people's motives. They project that others operate from the same values and are always being honest. But when they take the time to study people's motives, they can tell what people pretend to be and what they really are.

🎸Fire is an emotional element, but it tends toward the more active and dynamic emotions—anger, joy, ebullience, and enthusiasm. It has a harder time dealing with sadness, depression, or the kind of feeling that comes from quiet contemplation of one’s surroundings. Fire people do not like to show sadness or grief: their typical response is to make fun of their own unhappiness. 

🪐Symbol earth, signifies limits to our freedom (in which regard the element earth is related to the planet Saturn). We cannot do whatever we wish or go wherever we want because we are constrained by our own materiality and the materiality of the world around us. Earth is passive: it needs to be acted on and formed by an external energy. Virgo and Capricorn especially are inclined to sacrifice emotional needs when these come into conflict with their view of reality. 

☁️Air is associated with thinking and logic, and as such it is less personal than fire.In this way air is similar to earth: both are primarily concerned with a reality external to the self. Fire and water are more concerned with personal, inward kinds of truth. Although air is very social, it is sometimes unable to handle real intimacy well. Libra is the only air sign in which the drive for close, personal relationships is strong, but even here there is a detached, non-intimate quality often obscured by the cleverness of the sign at being winning in social encounters.

🌙Water is the most yin of the four elements. And it is in some ways the most difficult to understand. The water people are poor at communication or unwilling to communicate. Because water represents non-linear, non-rational, non-discriminative modes of thought—the very antithesis of air. Water is the best at feeling relationships and the ways every thing interacts with every other thing. Often the best way for water to communicate is by means of art, especially poetry and music. Water people therefore have to live in a relatively clean psychic environment. If they are surrounded by disturbed people, water types will pick up the disturbance as if the energies originated within themselves. In this way, a water person can be made to feel physically and/or psychologically ill even when actually very well. More than any other element water is associated with the soul—the eternal, unchanging background that exists forever, against which the drama of individual life is played.

🌱Mercury creates smells, sounds, tastes, textures, and the like. In this way we are quite literally the creators of our own experience. All our knowing, experiencing, sensing, believing, or disbelieving is done through signs which represent actual facts, experiences, or entities in our minds.

🥊In a healthy body, Mars represents the vigor and vitality of movement, and especially the muscles. But it can also manifest as irritations, inflammations, infections, and fevers. Mars can be one of the principal significators of operations and accidents.

🫧Mars and Saturn rules over tattoos, needles, blood everything related to that. People who have dominant Mars sign or a lot of Mars energy/ aries energy or people who have Capricorn placements or Saturn energy are usually more more prone to have tattoos or piercings.

🎱The difference between Capricorn and Virgo is the Capricorn rules over success, image, public speaking everything that is related to public, but it's not related to appearance and how you look. Capricorns don't care how they look, but how their energy comes forward. Virgo on the other side rules over physical body so they are more prone to worry about how they look and how their clothes look like.

☂️Jupiter has also been associated with medicine and healing, the reintegration of the body after illness or prevention of bodily disintegration.

💍Juno is associated with marriage and partnership between the sexes. I find that, especially in women’s charts, it often indicates an ambivalence about whether to be associated with someone or to be free. In a man’s chart, it often describes the kind of marital partner he will choose.

I’ll combust if we don’t get a part 2 for that Percy fic 💔💔

“ i don’t like a gold rush ” (the sequel)

percy jackson x daughter of aphrodite!reader 🌊 | pt.1

a/n a lot of rambling idk what i was even saying

tw makeout insinuation, travis stoll x reader, hurt/mild comfort, not proofread

𓆝 𓆟 ౨ৎ 𓆝 𓆟

Getting over the youngest son of Poseidon was a task easier said than done. Especially seeing him with the spirit that was Annabeth Chase. The two had been attached at the hip since they were twelve.

Alas, y/n decided to turn her attention to another pretty boy. The elder of the Stoll brothers. You could say she had a type. He was in a strange sense, similar to Percy.

The dark wavy hair, light eyes. He was cute enough.

Unfortunately when your mother is the goddess of love, you don’t really get to be normal about your crushes. Especially when you have your sister breathing down your neck about “Aphrodite’s Rite of Passage.” No matter what Y/N knew that was something she could never complete. She was a hopeless romantic not a maneater like many believed Aphrodite’s children to be.

When she gathered herself and decided it was time to talk to the son of Hermes, she found herself strolling to cabin 3. She knocked on the door. She heard swearing and things falling before the door opened.

“Hey, y/n,” he sighed. The boy’s hair was messed and he was without a shirt.

“Is this a bad time?”

“Kinda.”

She peered over his shoulder seeing the blonde on his bed, awkwardly playing with the hem of the oversized shirt she was wearing, “I get it.”

“Sorry,” he breathed, “did you need something?”

“I was just gonna ask you something,” she shrugged, “talk to you later though.”

“Bye,” he sheepishly spoke as he closed the door.

She embarrassedly made her way back to her cabin. All while ignoring the pit in her stomach as she told herself she didn't care. She didn't care. She had bigger fish to fry.

Bad analogy.

As slow hours passed she laid in her bed staring at the ceiling. Sure, she had things to do. Training, cleaning, chores. But for now, the ceiling was where her mind wanted to stay. The ceiling was the blank canvas she had spent so much of her painting with visions of Percy Jackson. She imagined if they’d dated what they would do together. The romantic dates, the sneaking into his cabin the way Annabeth does. Her head ached when she tried to picture the new acrylic, when she was so used to watercolor.

She imagined kissing the boy. Test one. She wasn't cringing the way she would have expected to, but as the image of muscular arms that belonged to the wrong came into her mind, she sat up. She finally stretched her legs, trying to clear her mind of all things Poseidon. When she heard the cabin door creak open, she failed her challenge as the boy walked in.

“Y/N,” he grinned as he caught her eyes.

“Hi, hey, hi,” she smiled in return, “what’s up?”

“I was gonna ask you the same thing,” he retorted, tilting his head, which reminded her of a puppy in a way. Which trailed her thoughts into picturing him as a husky with bright blue-green eyes. And then she realized that was kinda a weird thought?

She looked down, picking at her cuticles, “sorry, yeah, right, uhm,” she looked back up at him. She tried to focus as she looked into his eyes that were framed by his thick eyelashes that made him almost look like he was wearing mascara. “Remember how I helped you with Annabeth?”

“Yeah,” he lovesickenly smiled as his brain thought of the girl. If Y/N weren't a daughter of love itself, she would be hurling.

She shook her head, “anyway, I was kinda hoping you could repay the favor?”

He raised an eyebrow as he sat on one of her sister’s beds, being the only two people in the cabin. “Me? why?”

“You owe me,” she said, “remember?”

He leaned back, “yeah,” he recollected the memory, not expecting it to be held up, “just, what do I know about love?”

“I see you with,” she took a deep breath, “her. You're a romantic, whether you know it or not.” She sat across from him on another bed, “plus, you know boys.”

“I know boys?”

“You are one, aren't you?”

He laughed, “I think so.” He shifted closer to her, he lowered his voice, “what boy are we talking about?”

“Travis Stoll.”

He cringed, “Travis? Really?”

“What?” she softly mentioned, “he’s cute.”

Before he could speak, the door opened, the pair turned to look at it. A girl with an orange shirt and pink shorts stood with her arms crossed, “what is the fish boy doing on my bed?”

ྀིྀིྀིྀིྀིྀིྀིྀི

“He’s not the smartest guy, y/n,” Percy said as he stood beside y/n, borderline stalking Travis alongside his brother from afar. The sons of Hermes built something possibly illegal in 48 states as they sat together.

She looked at him for a second, “and you are?”

“I’m no Stoll,” he smiled, turning to the girl, “you're gonna have to be straight forward. He wont pick up on any hints.”

She held up her hand, sticking up her thumb and pinky to imitate a phone, “hey, kettle, you're black.”

“Huh?”

She smirked, “you just proved my point, thank you very much.”

He rolled his eyes, “you wanted someone who knows guys, who got one.”

She nudged his shoulder, “thanks, Perce.”

“I owe you.”

“You do.”

Silence fell over the two until a loud “hey!” was called from the direction of the brothers.

“We’ve blown our cover,” she muttered before grabbing Percy’s arm tightly. They ran away with laughter overhead as the other two chased after them. They both came to a stop, clutching their stomachs to catch their breaths.

“What were you guys doing?” Travis stood tall.

She bit her lip, “sorry, we were just,” she looked at Percy for a quick glance, “we weren't doing anything.”

“Yeah, we were just on a walk, you guys are the suspicious ones,” Percy added.

The daughter of Aphrodite moved some hair that had gotten stuck on her lip gloss, “Travis, actually, I kinda wanted to talk to you.”

He raised an eyebrow, “why?”

“Come on,” she grinned, beckoning him to follow her to a secluded area. When they stopped, she finally just took a deep breath and spilled her guts to the boy. As she realized just how easy it was, she wondered why she couldn't have just done all this before? It sure would have saved her the pain she had put herself through, time and time again.

“You like me?” He repeated back to her.

She looked a away, “thats pretty much the gist of things, yep.”

“Oh,” he responded.

“I needed to tell you, that’s all.”

“Hey, wait, I,” he sighed, “I like you, too.”

She smiled, “really?”

“Totally.”

So, that night, as she sat by the campfire hand in hand with Travis Stoll, she watched Percy and Annabeth connected at the hip nearby. She looked back at the boy next to her, letting a smile come across her face. But she wondered why she still felt that stabbing pain in her heart.

[justafairytailofinnocence]

What it would be like if Barbossa was in love with you 🏴‍☠️🌊🌌❤️

It was unplanned. He hadn't expected you, nor did he expect to react too hardly. You had arrived with Captain Jack Sparrow on the black Pearl with Henry and Carina, under the guise of Captain Jack Sparrow on board the dying gull. Then—under Hector Barbossa's authority on the Queen Anne's Revenge and finally on the Black Pearl.

As time drifted on, he found himself staring at you. Whether it would be through his brass spyglass or as he's on top of the helm.

He didn't acknowledge his feelings. He was baffled by what they were and chose to ignore it. Despite this, it still lingered, creeping up on him. His thoughts, ambitions, and goals came in the way, though. They soon ceased as he would once more stare at you at the prow.

If you caught on or glanced back, he would take it out on any of his crew mates—Mutogg and Mullroy—to furiously get you off his track. Albiet, whether it would be to keep a closer eye or to trim the main and gib sails.

His thoughts would silence as he stared at you like a hopeless school boy with a crush. It was baffling and embarrassing. Once before, in his past, he would've taken the opportunity to intimidate you into giving him what he wanted. For his own personal gain and ambition.

When he would try to talk to you, he would only hobble a few feet with his crutch, but even then, he would hesitate. He wouldn't move. Perhaps it was better to settle on one's goals. He's never been in this state before. It's addle. He felt like a sappy love sick fool chasing something he would've laughed at and tossed to the side.

When he did try to speak to you, it was often short, straight to the point. Even then, he would let you go about your business or mock you for your absent knowledge on ships. Or the stars.

One day, at the helm, he stood overlooking the stars guiding him when he saw you at the prow. Seeing your hair billow in the wind, looking at the moon. You were to be a prisoner. You should've been tied to the mast.

He snatched Jack's compass he "burrowed" earlier as a way to find the triton. Opening the lid, he held the compass in the air as the arrow spun—think of triton, the triton, the triton!—the arrow stopped. His eyes trailed from the tip of the arrow's red point to you. It didn't lie. What his heart desired most was right in front of him.

His weathered face furrowed with denial as his chapped lips slightly parted. How was this possible—it can't be—he'd never felt this way before—was it even possible?—he was three times your age—is it worth the risk? To risk his position and life of piracy for a chance with you—no. No, it's not.

With an exhale of annoyance, he hoisted himself on his crutch, hobbling further to try and distract himself. He needed to find that triton and smartly before El Matador Del Mar catches fast winds to their stern, and they were all doomed.

When alone, even with the grand gourmet feast, he would find himself gazing at the food with little to no interest. He would day dream, imagining a life with you, marriage was more so at the weighted end yet—he thought of your soft skin, your silky hair, and your smile. The memories that played back in his mind when you spoke or complimented you, he would genuinely smile—like an addled fool. He would lift his finger, tracing it along the outline of the table. Envisioning as though it were you glinting your eyes with a smile, touching your chin. Following from the outer table, his finger landed on the fabric of just the edge of his waistcoat. He touched your smile, then your shoulder. He shouldn't be thinking of this. Then, finally, the lower layer of your clothing, your lips parted with joy. This dream turned to you leaning in. The scent of you lingering. He could only ever envision your smile. This was so wrong—or was it?

He wasn't an ill-desperate man, rather, a romantic at heart. But—this was love.

Though these dreams would soon be interrupted with a knock at the door. He would often become either annoyed at himself or feel like a fool. There's no way he should be dreaming about such things at his age. At this point, he might as well pick up a strumpet from a brothel in Tortuga. Though, he had standards and often his ambition did lead him to become quite a lady's man.

Anyway, continuing on from when he was at the mast. He heard a familiar voice—a voice he did not need to hear—

"Keeping a weathering over the horizon, eh hector. You know the stars are bright tonight, but I couldn't help notice. There's one in particular I presume you're absolutely fascinated by." It was Jack sparrow.

Jack, as the bounded rope, restricted his movements. He pointed his finger to the prow. Clearly indicating you.

In that moment, Hector froze with not realising Jack of all people had caught on. He should've known Sparrow knew him better than most.

Jack glanced at Hector, astounded by his shift in expression, emotion.

"What do you want, sparrah." He said with annoyance.

"Well, clearly, since you oh so unkindly commandeered my ship. Twice mind you. I'm willing to offer an accord, an ultimatem of sorts." Jack said in spite, he was not over Hector stealing his ship, leaving him on that spit of land and leaving him in tortuga. Though he did steal Sao Fangs charts.

Barbossa, appearing more intimidating, slammed his hand against the mast with an expression that would have Jack dead if he slipped one more word from his tongue.

"Firstly, I want my ship." Jack gestured with his hands. Hector snapped "No deal" with a sarcastic gaze.

"I mean, she is a fetching creature, but I have to admit, you are very, very ugly, so how do you think she'll come about when she realises an old sea dog that's what—eighty—eighty-nine stares at her day by day." Jack pointed out. This infuriated Hector, and he knew it.

Jack could tell Hector's face, becoming redder and redder every minute he yabbered on. He just didn't want to admit it, that he was in love. To Jack, he would've thought it would be different, to sweep a lass like that off her feet.

"Tell you what, drinks all around if there's a wedding, after all, I always knew you'd settle down eventually."

Hector scoffed, seeing how Jack's words reflected from when he reunited with Jack—at a wedding. Ironic.

"I wonder what her name is, I'll remember it. She's the one who yabbers on about stars or something." Jack cocked his head. "Oh, what was it, it's on the tip of me tongue?" he stuck his tongue out.

Hector, having enough hoisted the sword of triton from his scabbard. "Do you wanna lose that tongue!"

"The lass is notin' but a simple-minded fool who dwells in nonsense. After all, do you really think a feebled doe would give a thought to a swine?".

He hobbled off, using his crutch. He really didn't need to hear Jack speak of his reality. Oh yes, she'll fall for a swinish blaggard. That'll be believable.

The one moment he truly showed emotion for was when you approached him in his quarters. He was imposing. He threatened you in a sarcastic manner; mocking you.

The moment he allowed his real emotions to take over was when you grabbed the locks of his wig, pulling it off. If this were anyone else, he would've shot them but—

He was more baffled than anything.

Allowing you to see the real him. And he smiled like a fool when you said, "It's you."

As demise comes tragedy. He only ever kissed you once. That was when Salazar was pursuing the black pearl, and he needed to rescue Jack, Carina, and Henry.

He told his coxswain to man the helm only for a minuet. He rushed to you hobbling as you were pulling the halyard for the main sail to maintain speed.

As you reached them when the sea split. You dashed to the bow where the anchor was, leaning over the guardrail. As he commanded to drop anchor. He pulled you back. His hand on your shoulder. Your eyes stared at him in worry.

Without a second thought, knowing this was his last voyage. He pulled you in and pressed his chapped lips against yours. As you were in confusion, he muttered, "You're the brightest star that's guided my fate."

"I love you, y/n." He said in a hoarse voice.

Unfortunately, that was the only time he confessed for—he died—after saving Carina Smyth. Your heart sank, not only losing a fine captain—but only to realise he was in love with you this whole time.

CHAPTER 3, EPISODE ONE

Everyone’s huddled up in the car with your parents in the front seats and the children in the back. You hated the middle seat so you told Grover to get comfortable there, for the greater good, and you sat on the left side, right behind your mother.

Right now, Grover is updating you and Percy about everything demigod-related.

“My job has been to guide you to this moment. It’s always an emotional rollercoaster for young demigods, so providing a support system is really–“

“Who are you?” Percy interrupts him.

Grover stared blankly at your brother, “I’m Grover. I’m your best friend and–“

“What are you?” The blonde recorrects.

“That is a very good question,” You chirped up, “I would like to revisit my previous question.”

“No, Y/N, let it go!”

“I’m asking the important questions here!”

“Irrelevant questions!”

“To answer your question, Y/N, no, I was born like this,”

“You sure? You know parents tend to lie a lot too,”

“I’m fully aware of adult tendencies to lie frequently, but I was born like this. I’m serious.”

He removes his tam, revealing two small goat horns. “I’m a satyr, and I’m your protector, both of you.”

“You’re our protector?” Your brother asked rhetorically.

“If I hadn’t gotten you kicked out of school, you’d never have survived the night. And what’s chasing us now would have found you there easily.”

“Oh, because that’s so comforting to hear.” You cross your arms.

Percy turns his head to the car window and Grover looks dejected at the action.

“I’m sorry.” Grover breathes out, sincerity laced in his tone, “Usually, I can sense danger coming a mile away, but this time…Well none of us saw Dodds’ coming.

“So you knew about that…creature?” You inquired, gaining Percy’s attention back onto his friend.

“That thing that Dodds turned into, you saw it happen? Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I saw some of it.”

“What part did you see? Where she flung me across the sky or when she attacked Percy?”

“Well, yes and no. The Mist kept her hidden even from us until it was too late.”

“I think I have a concussion from that,” You wince at the memory, holding the back of your head. “Besides, what the hell is Mist?!”

“The Mist is a veil that hides the magical world from the human world. My legs, Dodds’ wings, Even Dodds’ absence, but it isn’t supposed to hide things from me. That never happens. Something more powerful is at work here.”

“Maybe we’re the power sources.” You shrugged.

“Yeah, right,” Percy scoffs.

“The sooner we get you two to camp, the better off you’re–“

“Camp?! Who’s going to camp?!” You backtracked.

With a baffled expression, Grover turned to your parents, completely unimpressed by their timing, “You told them about camp, right?”

“We were getting there!” Your parents shouted simultaneously at Grover.

Grover nods his head, leaning back into the seat.

“Camp is a sanctuary for half-bloods. A safe space where you can learn who you are and what the world is like on the other side of the Mist.”

“Wait, hold up this an actual summer camp with mosquitoes and other dangerous animals lurking in the woods?!” You deadpanned. “Nah, you can keep that, I’m not going.”

“You don’t have a choice.” Your mom states.

“Uh, it’s not far, actually, just a little way past the bend up there.” Grover directs your mother.

“Mom, what else haven’t we talked about?” Your mother, Sally stayed quiet, anxiously glimpsing at her son. “What else haven’t you told us?”

“There are more secrets?!”

“Oh, there’s more like you wouldn’t believe, sweetie.” Jessica grins.

“Jess, that’s not helping whatsoever!” Sally exclaims.

“Sorry, it just slipped out of my mouth.”

“And you wonder why Y/N is a mini you.”

A flash of blinding light appears from mid-sky and disposes of a creature, which instantly starts running on all fours, chasing after the speeding car.

“Is that the Minotaur?!”

“Holy shit!” You and your mom said simultaneously in bewilderment.

“Once the attacks start, they never let up. Okay? Dodds was just the beginning.”

“Then who’s the freaking ending?! Because I’m ready to slain as many monsters as necessary.”

“He is next. He- he is brutal, he is relentless–“

“He’s still wearing underpants.”

“Out of all things, you could have noticed, Percy, you chose that?! Us trying not to die should be your main priority, not if the Minotaur is playing goddamn dress up!”

Percy and Grover kept their eyes on the large bulky monster.

“It’s gone!” Percy shouts, astonished.

“Gone?! Gone where?! I hoped it vanished back to wherever it came from!”

“Like it’s ever that easy!”

Then, the Minotaur’s loud footsteps and rough grunts halted and it almost calmed everyone’s racing heart rates.

“I think it’s gone for good now.”

Until it reappeared, now gaining up on the speeding car, The Minotaur ran up closer to the car front, beside Sally’s car door, aiming for severe damage.

“You just had to say something, didn’t you?!”

“How was I supposed to know that would happen?!”

“Because you jinxed us!”

“Don’t blame me because I’m stating the obvious!”

“I will push you out of this car!”

“Do it! I dare you!”

“Little Blondie, don’t tempt me with a good time!”

“Who are you calling Little?!”

“Someone who hasn’t had their growth spurt yet.”

“Hey, I’m still developing!” Percy gasps.

“Yeah, just very, very slowly.”

“Can we sacrifice Y/N to The Minotaur?”

“Oh please, you don’t have the balls to do it anyways,” You scoffed, “Besides, you need me. I’m always saving your dumbass, you can’t get rid of me!”

“Stop! Nobody is going to push anyone out of this car!”

“He started it–“

“No, I didn’t you, liar–“

“That’s it! Don’t make me come back there! I don’t care who started it, just know that it's ending!”

“Is there any more insight you’d like to add, Grover?” Sally calmly questions, acting like her children and wife didn’t have a screaming match a few seconds ago. Your family was truly a chaotic mess whenever they wanted, dismissing the matter as if impending death wasn’t lingering over their shoulders.

“Yes, I do.”

“Then, go right ahead,”

“The Mythomagic cards were training. Everything has been training for what’s still ahead of you.”

“What’s ahead of us?!”

“Kids…”

“I’m actually 24,” Grover confesses quickly, causing two heads to turn in unexpectancy.

You and Percy shared the same shocked expression, “Wait? What?”

“Hold on, please.”

The Minotaur roars loudly.

“Moonlight…listen to me.” your mom looks at you through the mirror as your gaze hesitantly meets hers. “You and Percy are forbidden children, monsters are going to attack you every day, this camp can protect you both.”

“Why can’t you and Sally come with us then?” you bargained with her, tears forming in your eyes. You couldn’t imagine, much less experience your life without your mother and Sally. The same women who nurtured you since you were babies and taught you everything you knew. You refused to give up on them, everything they did was to protect and love you, and now it was your turn.

Sally starts to talk, eyes stuck on the road, “We humans are not allowed there. Only demigods like you two.”

“But we don’t wanna leave you two.” Percy persisted.

“You’re our moms.”

“You’re gonna have to, that Minotaur isn’t gonna stop until he kills both of you.”

All of a sudden, a collision hit the car with enough brute force to send the car off the road and everything went black. It was all so quick, the collision, the swiveling of the car and landing on the side of the road, far from bypassers to rescue.

The rain pattering against the car turned into a heavy rainpour as everyone in the car, hanging upside down with the seat belt anchoring them, remained still, all unconscious.

After a while, the dulling pain in your head sharply woke you up, being the first to recover from the crash. Holding your head in pain as you slowly opened your eyes, feeling the blood trickle from your head, surveying your surroundings as you saw Percy and Grover still unconscious. Quickly unbuckling your seatbelt, you got out of your seat, repeating the same action to your younger brothers.

One by one, you carefully got everyone from the car as they began to wake up. A growl from the distance urges you to move faster as you help your other mother, Sally, get out of the damaged car.

Sally, Percy, and Grover were recovering, standing on their feet, checking for any injuries and your mom was the last one who needed rescuing.

“Mom…” you shake her but her body is motionless as the tears well up in your eyes.

You felt Sally’s arm pushing you back, sending you into Percy’s and Grover’s embrace as you nervously observed.

“Come on, come on, Jess…” Sally murmurs, kneeling down, searching for a pulse. “You gotta survive, we have children together, we can’t lose you right now.”

“Is she okay?” Percy chirps up, deciding to speak for you.

You found everything incomprehensible around you, your senses became deafening and a high-pitched ringing in your head matched the loud heart beating in your chest.

When Sally stayed silent, it only worsened your anxiety, “Mom, is she okay?!” Percy speaks again, adding some base in his voice yet his tone slightly wavers.

“She has a fading pulse…” Sally whispers, sparing a sad glance at you and quickly turning back to Jessica, “It’s decreasing rapidly,”

Dropping to the muddy slippery ground on your knees, tears quickly filling the brim of your eyes, threatening to fall as you moved closer to her.

“Mommy…” you cradle her face into your chest, saddened by her face, eyes closed as blood trickles down her forehead.

“We can revive her, right!” Your voice cracks, whipping your head to Sally, “Tell me we can revive her!”

“Y/N…” Sally sighs deeply, trying to contain her tears. You turn around, looking down at your mother, resting on your lap, body motionless yet her face looks peaceful.

“No! We- I can save her. We can do heart-to-heart compressions,” you shake your head, starting to do heart-to-heart compressions. “Why isn’t she waking up? Mommy, this isn’t funny anymore now, you have to wake up and help us. Please I can’t do this without you, I can’t do this whole new demigod thing without you.” your voice was dry, as you leaned down, blowing air into her mouth, hoping for a miracle to occur.

You didn’t truly believe in miracles, but for your mother, you’d start believing it. Right now, you would do whatever it took to bring her back even if it meant wishing on the impossible.

“We didn’t do plenty of things yet, I wanted you and Sally to meet my first girlfriend, attend my graduation, be there when I move out and eventually get married, and get grandkids from Percy because we both know I’m not going through that torture.”

Your senses became intensely heightened, catching onto Grover’s whisper to Sally, ignoring him as you spoke up.

“I refuse to leave her alone, she isn’t dead, just having some problems waking up and getting a pulse back.” You were in extreme denial, “Come on, mum, you focus on her face, giving her air and I’ll do her chest,” you beckoned Sally forward.

“Sweetheart…she’s already….gone.”

“She’s my mom and Percy’s mom, your wife. She wasn’t supposed to die this early. If all you’re gonna do is stand there and be useless, don’t bother talking to me.” It wasn’t intentional to snap at your other mother, but your emotions were driving you crazy and brazen.

“You’re the sun to my moon, Mommy, I can’t shine when you’re not there with me. Y-you promised me, you pinky promised that we were all going to survive, but you lied. Why did you lie to me?” You sobbed. Despite being physically exhausted, you weren’t giving up on trying to revive your mom, she would have never given up on you so you would stop trying until you had something, anything; a pulse, a gasp, her eyes shooting up. “Remember…” You weakly asked, holding onto the moon-shaped necklace on your neck, staring at your mom’s sun-shaped necklace.

The sky crackled with slight thunder as the rain poured down heavier. Finally understanding the meaning of your nickname, you sobbed desperately until the broken cracks of your voice gave out.

There was no sunshine without her moonlight, always them being in a pair, nothing without the other. Sadly, you lost your sunshine, darkening your moonlight to its deepest depths, harvesting it into something vengeful and heartless. Something that even scared you to a certain extent, like this was another new side flourishing because of the horrible circumstances.

You rested your mom on the ground, ignoring the cold rainpour.

“She’s gone…” Sally cries, grabbing your arm and pushing you into her body for a hug. You cried into the hug, tightening your grip as your wails echoed throughout the forest. Maybe this was all a nightmare, where you’d wake up and relax in reality. This was the time that your mom needed to wake you up and reassure you that she was right there, staying with you and protecting you.

Your chest clenched against your rib cage, devastation wracked throughout your entire body as the tears relentlessly spilled out.

“But she- she can’t be gone!” You hiccup, eyes glossing over with fresh tears, feeling another arm snuggle around your side.

“I know, sweetheart. I’m so sorry,” she caressed your face.

“What kind of demigod I am, if I was blessed with all these supernatural powers, can’t even save my Mom from death? What kind of daughter am I to just stand by and watch her own mother die? I don’t want this demigod life anymore, please take it all away if it means my mother is coming back, to me, to home. I’m so fucking tired and I just wanna go home! Home is wherever the four of us are!”

“Don’t you ever say that again, you did everything you could, your perseverance is one of your strongest qualities that Jessica adored very much. She wouldn’t want you to doubt yourself like this nor would I,” Sally reassures you, resting a thumb on your cheek, “Our beautiful daughter, she’s so proud of you, I want you to know that.”

Your eyes were puffy and red from tears as you listened to your mother’s words of encouragement and reassurance.

Much to your dismay, another loud roar broke the semi-family grievance, reminding them of the harsh reality.

“We have to go now!” Grover hastily urges.

“I’m not leaving my mom here like this,” you point to her still figure on the ground.

“We won’t, I promise you, sweetie. I’ll give her a proper burial, but right now we have to go!” Her tone was urgent as she quickly scanned the dark forest with the illumination from the car light.

You hurriedly rushed towards your mother’s still figure on the muddy ground, leaning down.

“Goodbye, Mom,” you whisper hoarsely, kissing her forehead for the last time. You stared down at her neck, gazing at the sunlight necklace she wore yanked it off, and shoved the meaningful jewelry into your back pocket. Your heart broke again, realizing she can’t respond, despite being in extreme denial.

Percy struggled to plant you on your feet as Sally walked over to Grover.

“Grover, I am entrusting you to protect my children, my only son and only daughter.”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Jackson, Percy, and Y/N will be totally safe at camp–“

“Swear it.” She commands.

“What’s happening?”

“Swear it, Grover! Keep my children safe from anyone or anything that comes for them, that wants to harm them, that looks at them in the wrong way. Do you understand me?”

“I swear!” Grover persists, with determination and sincerity in his voice.

Sally nods at the boy, venturing over to you and Percy.

“I gotta go now,”

“Go? What do you mean go? Y/N stop her from going on this suicide mission,” He stares at you, waiting for a response. The first time you didn’t respond to your brother’s words caught him off guard, knowing you’ll always be his first defender.

The boy winces seeing your shaken body and red puffy eyes. It didn’t take a genius to know that you were still traumatized from witnessing your mom’s death. Seeing this sad broken-hearted face of yours, devastated Percy beyond any words to ease the pain. All those times, you’d reassured and defended him countless times, and yet he was speechless about how to comfort you right now. He felt like such a horrible brother to you.

“Your sister isn’t in charge, I am and what I say goes!”

“But–“

“This is no buts! You’re gonna be brave now. Remember what I taught you, remember the stories I told you. Especially the stories, they will tell–“

“No way! Mom, I’m not leaving you, not like how we left Mother stranded and alone to die.”

“Perseus!” She snapped, tired of his persistent attempts, cupping his face, “Listen to me! You…are not broken. You are singular. You’re a miracle and you are my son. Hold fast, brave the storm.”

“And Y/N,” She caresses your face, her saddened expression increasing at your blank eyes, “You are not neglected in this family, you’re just as important. You are one of a kind, my beautiful baby girl. You are my daughter and I don’t ever want you to forget that.”

Those words melted in your heart and words rambled from you without hesitation, the guilt of everything came crashing down.

“I’m so sorry, mother, for not being able to protect any of us. I failed at what I was best at.”

“You’re a kid, be a kid, stop worrying if you’re not going to save everyone. That’s too much of a heavy burden on yourself, it’s not good for your mentality. Live life, get a girlfriend and don’t force yourself to grow up too fast because you'll regret it. Let me tell you something unfair; you can’t save everyone all the time. I love you two so much,”

“We love you too.”

Just like that, The Minotaur had the worst timing of moments erupting with a loud search roar.

“We need to move!”

“Give me your coat.”

“Why?” Percy asks but removes his coat anyway, “What are you gonna do?”

“He smells half-blood, that’s what he’s tracking, yeah?”

“That’s right.”

Sally grabs the coat from her blonde son, “So if he smells you in two directions at once, maybe I can confuse him, buy us both a little time to get away.”

“Mom, please don’t…we can’t afford to lose another parent on the same night.” Percy pleads, stepping forward, gesturing to you, “Y/N is one of the strongest people I know, and a few hours into this demigod madness, she’s broken, possibly going to recover from trauma at the camp where we’re supposed to rediscover our true potential for a man who wasn’t even here our whole lives.” He whispers, a string of desperation in his voice, “You can’t do this to us…please don’t do this to us. You’re all we have left.”

“Hey! It’ll be okay.” She reassures the blonde boy with a weak smile, “Y/N bounces back, she always does. For the first time, she needs you more than you need her right now, so be her anchor for right now, and don’t ever let go.”

Another yell echoes throughout the forest and trees falling down a few feet away meant the Minotaur was getting unbelievably closer. Your heart raced in your chest, once you saw the bulky overgrown monster, standing on its hind feet, intimidating everyone who bore witness.

Sally wastes no time, giving Percy a forehead kiss and then moving over to repeat the same action with you.

“Go now!” She shoves you away into Percy’s and Grover’s arms, now facing the Minotaur as the trio escapes into the rainy forest night.

Her plan for using Percy’s coat as bait to seemingly distract him and draw him away from the two demigods was successfully executed.

After maintaining some far distance from your mother, Sally, and the Minotaur, the trio still kept on running, nobody turning back. Until a loud roar reverberated across the forest broke your concentration on getting to safety and intensified your worries for your mother. You stopped running, turning around as your heart hammered inside your chest, the adrenaline pumping.

Despite being miles away, you and Percy viewed the fight, flinching when the monster knocked your mother down with its horns.

The Minotaur held in its hand, lifting up something in the air…someone more life-like…that’s someone who was your mother, Sally! You gasped and shoved at the revelation, wondering about your mother’s fate and you continued to watch the heartbreaking scene. Your body wasn’t acting upon cooperation with your mind, telling you to run away before it gets you next or attempting to save your mother. Having already lost one parent was devastating as it is, and losing your other parent would cause a lifetime of trauma for you.

Your heart clenched in fear as Sally struggles to escape from his grasp.

You felt Percy’s scared face hide into the fabric of your cotton shirt, clenching onto the shirt as he squeezed his eyes as tightly as possible.

For the last time, your mother, Sally looked over at you, stretching out a hand, guiding you out to safety, content you’ll be fine. Just like that, she closed her eyes, slowly disintegrating into gold ashes. Huh, that was weird. Humans don’t shrivel up and fade into ashes like that. That definitely was magic.

It was quiet, the rain pattering over you was now a background noise as you struggled to process the incident.

You gulped down the harsh lump in your throat. “It’s…mother’s gone, too…” You informed Percy, tone hoarse as he slowly pulled away from your body.

He looked ahead again, seeing nothing, Sally wasn’t there and the Minotaur was staring into nothing, seemingly distracted.

“Where did she go? What happened to her?”

“…She disappeared into gold ashes.” You whispered slowly, trying to comprehend your mother’s demise in your mind. Once again, your vision becomes blurry and the tears start to form at the loss of yet another parent. “It looked so unrealistic,”

After that Percy began to speak, but your focus wasn’t even directed on him, but rather at that charging furious Minotaur, hungry for more blood.

The pain and suffering became a dangerous mix of anger and hatred directed at the Minotaur.

Grover’s statements fall on deaf ears, partially drowned out by the heavy rainfall. “Y/N and Percy come on, we’re almost there.” you glance at your blonde brother who holds the same on his face.

‘So what happens when the protector is unable to protect? Do they give up instant hope and cower in shame? Or do they fight back, willingly seeking a second chance to redeem themselves? Whether you make a change or just be a bystander like others? This time the answer to that is simple, mourn your losses later and avenge them now. For all you can do right now is fight on the battlefield, because this is no place to cry and admit defeat.

No, you refused to give up hope and you weren’t going down without a fight. This monster had already taken your worlds away, so you had nobody else to lose.

Grabbing the pen from your pocket, holding it out, and witnessing it transform into a golden sword at will. The fight with the Minotaur was brutal and intense, alongside the heavy downpour of rain that attempted to slow down the intensity of this fight. Despite double-teaming the monster, he resisted surrender, determined to win and kill you both. Surprisingly, you gained the agility to climb onto his back while Percy distracted him.

Somehow, you gained the ultimate advantage with the lighting sword in your hand and stabbed the monster in its eye, ignoring his roar of pain. If anything, its pain only further encouraged you to continue.

Too full of adrenaline, you grab his two horns, gripping them and pulling them out with your utmost strength. A new sudden strength you just obtained. Gasping in shock was quickly outlived when your sword slipped out of your hand and dropped onto the muddy ground, disappearing from your eyesight. Stumbling onto his feet, inflicted by the pain, you groaned, gripping the monster by his rough skin as he attempted to shake you off.

“Percy the sword!” You yelled at him. Your brother throws the sword upwards as you catch the weapon.

You stab the monster in the neck, wincing at his loud screeches, but continue to stab his neck. Once the monster was deemed weak enough, you sliced the sword right through his neck, seizing the opportunity of successfully killing it. To be certain of killing that wretched monster, you deactached its horn from its head with your uppermost strength, then using it to pierce its own eye, another terrifying wail leaves its mouth.

This was all this stupid monster’s fault. If it hadn’t chased after you or slammed itself into the car, your mom would be alive. If it didn’t have such a bloodthirst for demigods, Sally, your mother would still be alive. Alive. Alive. Alive. You just wished your moms were alive, to see you mature into such a courageous daughter to avenge their deaths.

Soon enough, the monster staggered on its feet and its body began to disintegrate into black dust before your eyes.

“Y/N!” The voice becomes disoriented as you stumble on the ground, two arms catching you as you faint, everything fading away into a black abyss.

“Is she okay?”

“Did she do it alone?”

“Is the blonde boy, okay too?

“How is that possible?”

“I don’t know.”

“Yeah, he’s okay.”

Grasping onto your fading eyesight, there were four shadowy figures above you, all their voices sounded childish except the girl’s voice which sounded very mature.

“They must be the ones.”

“Hush, Annabeth.”

“They’re waking. Everyone give them some space, please.”

Obeying the command, the four unknown kids gave the siblings some space, revealing a half-man with the…bottom of a horse. Okay, it’s finally official, you’ve completely lost it!

“Welcome to camp, Percy Jackson and Y/N Matthews. We’ve been expecting you two.”

Oh my god! Who are these people?! What in the absolute fuck is going on?! This demigod shit is not cut out for me.

[compact-turtle]

I love your farmer so much, you and Wordsbymae have been my absolute go-tos for these mentally unstable men!

I was wondering though, what if darling actually confessed to liking him to? Or weirdly did something for him to express some sort of love to him, idk i think it would be interesting to have his brain sort circuit because shes confessing. Or maybe shes obsessed too?

Another i was wondering is if you could five us a small sneak peak of what it would be like being his darlinf after he murdered all her friends, in front of her, and what he would want daily life to be like? Darling can be complicit or defiant im just so curious!

Thank you and is it alright if i become a emoji anon? If so may i have 🌊?

If not its all good! Also keep up the fantastic work i love it all!

Thank you for taking time to check out my work! Ofc you can be that anon!

---------

I think darling would have to confess directly with words. All your actions would be revised as "My darling is so love with me" under Atticus's delusional brain lol. However, he would still be a bit insecure of the relationship until you specifically say the words.

He would short circuit then celebrate internally. You couldn't tell from the look on his face at first. Only his actions would give you any indication of his happiness.

Atticus moves fast, your spot at night would be next to him immediately. He's marking the day on the calendar as anniversary already. Taking out to flaunt around town at least once. (Doesn't like going to town but is just so happy that he just HAS to show everyone)

"Atticus, I think I really like you. Would you want to be with me?"

Atticus:

-----

Sorry life sucks for you and your friends lol.

Atticus would hate to traumatize you. He doesn't want you to end up hating him. Still, if you accidentally stumble upon him murdering your friends then he'd have to take drastic action.

Atticus has a drug that calms the farm animals down. He'd use a small dose on you to keep you happy and complacent. A small side effect also causes some memory loses in humans. You'd never be truly lucid to understand what's happening. He'd gaslight you into thinking that you were always his spouse.

Sometimes you have strange dreams about some so-called friends. They're all screaming and begging you to run away. The dreams terrify you but on the bright side, Atticus is always there to comfort you. He reassures you that it's only a nightmare.

----

-Daily life!

It wouldn't be too different from your current life on the farm. Only downside, you have to work a bit harder since you don't have any friends to help :(

Also, when you start having your weird dreams, Atticus gives you some shots. He tells you that it's to make you feel better and to keep the nightmares away. Thankfully, it does make the nightmares go away!!!!! ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

Oh! Also, assuming he gaslight you into being his spouse, Atticus is also much more handsy. He's kissing you when you make breakfast, taking baths with you and wrapping his arms around your waist.

-His arms are so heavy when he snuggles with you in bed. It's a struggle to get up in the morning. You'll try to escape but he'll just pull you back into bed.

----

It'd be very difficult for you to escape if you ever regain your memories properly.

-The drug has weakened and altered your body so much. You can't run far without being exhausted.

-There's acres and acres of only farmland.

-Also as much as you love the puppies, they are ratting you out. You'll try to leave, and they'll bark after you. They just assume that you're playing a game with them. They'll happily chase you which in turns leads Atticus to find you.

-Atticus won't punish you. He'll be so angry and upset but blames himself.

-He should've taken care of you more

-He should've noticed you were unhappy

-He failed his duty as a husband to keep you satisfied.

-Atticus will gaslight you and manipulate you into believing that the police would arrest you. He'd convince you that you witnessed the murder and did nothing to stop him so you're an accomplice.

-Logically, you know that this isn't true. However, his words creep into your mind. They influence your subconscious more than you can admit.

-Drugs you more until you forget about it all :/

🌊 the only easy day (3 part buddie. angst. hurt. hea)

“I don’t want them here, Maddie.” “They’re our parents, they should be here, you've been seriously close to dying twice in half a year, Evan! They should be here!” But he didn’t need them. Whether or not good parents would be at his bedside didn’t matter to him. He’d come to terms with the parents –or lack there of– that he had when he was twelve. He hadn’t needed them then, and he didn’t need them now. He managed to barely flinch as she called out his name. It hadn’t been said with any hate, he knew that but he couldn’t help the way his mind traveled. Evan, you really shouldn’t cause problems. Evan, this isn’t the time for your theatrics. This really is all you’re– He shoved the thoughts back down and did his best to lock the stupid mental box that he tried to keep all the bad childhood memories in. He’d liked the idea of Pandora’s box when he’d been younger. It had seemed like a perfect representation of how he felt. All the bad shit in one spot locked away, but if it ever escaped there would always be Hope left at the bottom.

🐝 the pull of us (post lawsuit, buck backstory divergence, buddie, tarlos, buck/tk)

Buck had never had a best friend before Tyler so he wasn’t sure if it was normal to go so long without actually seeing each other and fall right back into how it felt the last time they had –but it felt normal enough for him. They texted and talked all the time, Buck never felt like he lost Tyler from his life even if they hadn’t seen each other in person in years. There was a warmth that had filled his chest and the smile that stretched across his face actually hurt. It was the first time he remembered being genuinely happy since before he’d been injured. “You look good.” Tyler smirked, “And you look like a brick house.”

🫧 ruined (post lawsuit, dark, dead dove, why did i use buck to work through trauma?)

“Sorry, man, I was zoned out.” “I get it. Feel like middle of the night runs usually mean shit’s going on in your head, right?” The guy smiled at him and Buck realized it had been weeks since someone genuinely smiled at him. Sure there were random strangers on the street that gave those half smiles that were considered polite when they passed someone. But Buck hadn’t thought about just how alone he had gotten since the lawsuit started. “Yeah, sorry, I’ve got a big thing later. Should still watch where I’m running.” Buck didn’t want to think about what would happen when he went to his meeting with Chase that morning. He’d be able to see the team again and he hoped that if he could just explain his side they would finally understand.

Somewhere in Tano, sometime in the past…

A pink whimsicott pushed warm sand over Nat’s shoulders, successfully burying his entire left arm. He’d been working hard to cover him entirely while Luxu made finishing touches on the sandcastle they started together. Now that the Whimsicott was almost done, the two could build a structure around their trainer.

In the distance, Gabe drew closer with something fishy at hand. He stopped in front of Nat.

Very unsuspectingly.

AND BAM GET SEAWEEDED IDIOT

The Whimsicott scrambled out of the way as sand quaked below him, and in doing so, unintentionally caught onto the wind. He drifted away from the unfolding chaos, watching the little human jump like a spoink and erupt in an draconic screech. Gabe’s laughter filled the air as he tripped over himself in his getaway, while Nat chased him around the beach.

🌊🌊🌊

The figures on the beach meshed and blurred as they moved, becoming part of the sand, becoming part of the ocean. A blueish purple hue took over as the event faded away with the tide.

....🐉 ( END OF MEMORY ) 🐉....

[ NOTE: Nat, Gabe, Draconia, and Luxu belong to @asktheisle , asks should ONLY be sent to the Whimsicott Character when available!

I’m using their blog’s setting very temporarily with permission, all posts are shown to the mod before posting.

This post depicts a moment in time, I'll explicitly say when the Whimsicott is fully in present for asks. I have 1-2 more posts planned beforehand.

Feel free to send asks with general questions when this is posted, but the answered asks will happen in another location.]

May horoscopes 🔮💫

🔥Aries - With this month’s ruling planet in its home sign, and in conjunction with your natal sun sign, this month will be pivotal in all areas that require action. Now is the time to put more effort into your passions, and only surround yourself with motivating and supportive company. My advice to you this month is to be patient with those around you while you continue chasing after your desires. Aries will be physically and mentally energizing the entire month of May; so, be ready to jump at any opportunity that may involve you throwing yourself at something new! Just be sure not to forget those around you may feel left behind if you don’t ensure to properly communicate your updated life plans, this is especially true for romantic partners. This month is going to jump start a much-needed shift coming to aid you in opportunities to increase your money-making potential!

⛰️Taurus - With this month starting with Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus all in conjunction with your Sun sign, this will bring themes of love, values, expansion, growth, and unpredictability to a close by the end of May. Most Taurus’s have been experiencing a sudden resurfacing of emotion from memories involving these themes since the last week of April. However, by May 25th Jupiter will shift into 0° Gemini, ending a chapter of expansion for Taurus. This will allow you to settle back into your comfort zone, and not feel so driven to grow; expand the areas you’ve been working on for the last year. This will provide you with the peace and solitude you have been yearning for; once you are able to finish what you started. My advice to you this month is to ensure those around you are acting as responsibly as you are. With Uranus staying in its conjunction with your Sun, after Jupiter leaves; that does leave risk for a surprise from a family member, romantic partner, friend, or coworker. If you aren’t stuck in a cycle of enabling bad behaviors in the people around you, this month will be incredibly rewarding. However, if you’re stuck in a cycle; that will be forced to change by the events of the month. It’s time to enjoy some blessings from all your hard work!

 

🌬️Gemini - Gemini, get ready for your luck to change! The full moon this month on the 23rd will put values, money, and properties on the frontline of the themes for you; Jupiter will also move into aspect with your Sun sign on the 25th, causing a yearlong cycle of rapid growth and expansion surrounding these themes. My advice to you this month is to be true to yourself and what you need when evaluating the impact that relationships have on your confidence; and the connection between how much you value yourself, and if your lack of confidence is preventing you from truly living in the present, with a good grip on where you’re headed in the future. Most Geminis have recently experienced a wakeup call that forced them to reevaluate how much they are valued in the lives of the people they care about the most. Some may have not been happy when experiencing this epiphany and may have fallen into a low period while digesting the circumstances. Over the next year, you will enter a new period of growth, and glow up. Get excited for the glow up you’ve been praying for!

 

🌊 Cancer - With Vesta in conjunction with your Sun sign, tied with an opposition from Ceres - this is going to be a huge month for getting a serious refresher on a forgotten skill, or previously undiscovered ability; especially when it comes to family matters. With Pluto starting its retrograde on May 2nd in Aquarius, creating a hard aspect to your Sun; this shows us that these special skills or abilities, is what you’re meant to expand on during this time. If you find yourself being taken advantage of by those within your household, Pluto’s retrograde will help to put an end to that. My advice to you is to stay true to who you are today, and require respect when respect is due; nobody should be allowed to use or abuse you. Pluto will provide hardships for these individuals to aid you by limiting access to you and provide you with space to think for yourself. It might be a good time to start planning a vacation or getaway; new places, and new faces, will help you feel the satisfaction you desire!

🔥Leo - This month is going to help give you a preview of the big changes on the way for you! With the month starting off with the transit Moon in opposition to your Sun sign - causing a possible avoidance to deal with emotional matters, or for those that fight off the avoidance will discover new feelings. Pluto will start its retrograde on May 2nd in opposition to your Sun Sign, which will lead to a rebalancing of power throughout all areas of your current life. My advice to you this month is to stay active and try amping up your style or making a change that helps physically solidify this new era of your life. Any changes that help increase your confidence will be beneficial for you during this time. Keep your eyes open for people or problems from your past resurfacing currently; this is a highly karmic window due to the eclipse last month, and Pluto starting its retrograde early this month. Make sure you keep your eyes open to old trends in reappearing people, if trust was broken; if they should be coming back in, earning that trust back is a requirement. Don’t let anyone have access to you that doesn’t respect you, period!

⛰️Virgo - This month is going to feel like universal intervention! With the transit Lilith, and Juno in conjunction with your Sun sign the entire month of May, this is going to make you angry so you will ultimately fight for yourself; with Juno in this aspect the universe may send you a helping hand if it’s not preventative to embracing your independence. The Jupiter shift from Taurus to Gemini on the 25th will officially start a new period of forced expansion around communication, moving the focus away from property, financial matters and show you a new area of focus to help continue your journey of self-understanding. My advice to you is to refrain from bad habits, or pessimism. Any hardships you’ve been given since the eclipse are happening so you can finally fight for your right to freedom. It’s time to start showing up for yourself and stop doubting what you're capable of attaining. The universe is trying to tell you to try something new!

🌬️Libra - With the month starting off with Mercury, Mars, North Node, and Chiron in an opposition to your natal Sun, most Libras will still find themselves cleaning up the messes made during the eclipse last month. The good news is that when Pluto starts its retrograde in sextile with your natal Sun on the 2nd it will rebegin the time for Libras to start getting results for all the hard work over the past few months. My advice to you this month is to keep a steady momentum towards what really matters to you, and the universe will identify your dedication, blessing you with abundance, and opportunities for massive transformation in these areas. The Full moon on the 23rd will open your eyes to a situation that may have gone under the radar for too long. With the North Node in a libra degree at the time of the Full Moon - it will amplify both your level of intuition, and your manifesting ability during this time. Many libras will receive many rewards, and even blessings in the weeks approaching the Full moon. Get ready to come into your power!

🌊Scorpio - This month is going to shake things up for Scorpio! With the transit Pallas is retrograde leaving Sagittarius and moving backwards into a conjunction with your Sun sign on May 16th - this is going to help you heal everyone's psychological distresses around you. You may even discover that your partner, friends, or coworkers are going through a really difficult time, but trust you when you say it’s going to work out for them. Your words will feel magical this month especially when tied together by strong emotional attachment. My advice to you this month is to be of service to those who aren’t finding this stability and faith so easy to find. Don’t be surprised if you get approached by strangers this month in need of healing, just ensure to maintain your own boundaries to keep yourself healthy and happy. Get ready to help heal others by simply being yourself!

🔥Sagittarius - This month is going to be a game changer for Sagittarius! With Pallas retrograding in conjunction to your Sun sign, you will start May continuing to divulge yourself in topics that interest you. You may also find optimism easier at this time regardless of circumstances due to certain blessings that have landed in your lap, reminding you not to give up hope. After the 16th, Pallas will move out of aspect with your Sun sign, leaving that natural optimism and increased energy behind; Instead, you’ll be forced to see your daily circumstances through a lens of deep reality. My advice to you this month is to use the energy of the full moon on the 23rd mixed with the power of the soft aspect from transit Pluto in Aquarius to make the drastic changes necessary to feel comfortable with what you see through that lens of reality. It’s never too late to change your mind, forgive yourself for what you could not have known. It’s the choices now that will define who you have become!

⛰️Capricorn - This month will help you grow by methods of tough love! With Ceres in a conjunction with your Sun sign in the beginning of the month, then starting its retrograde in your sign Capricorn - this is going to amp up the pressure on long term goals, career matters, business dealings, and retirement; this may come in the form of a derailment of plans, surprise, or having put off these matters for too long. This retrograde period will continue until August 2024, ensuring that these details are sorted before Cere’s stations back direct. My advice to you is to make sure you are in control of your finances and keeping up with doing all the work necessary to reach your goals. Any Capricorns who refuse to step up to the stage this month and get a handle on their own future goals will start to notice their ‘reliable’ things starting to change into a more unpredictable state. This could be housing issues, car problems, loss of job, or ending of long-term relationship, or health. Make sure you are setting your future self-up for success!

🌬️Aquarius - This month is going to be full of creative potential for future desires! With Pluto in conjunction with your Sun sign, this will help Aquarius transform and explode any area they both desire and need on a karmic level. Any form of creation or art will be blessed by Pluto causing a butterfly effect, which will alter the course you’re on. Many Aquarians will receive social validation or recognition for their creations during this month. Those Aquarians with children could receive some positive feedback on them, or recognition for their talents. My advice to you is to do some deep introspection on what you want to create. Then do whatever steps are necessary to accomplish your goals. The universe will be blessing you with a relatively easy month full of high energy, and appreciation from those around you!

🌊Pisces - This month is going to show you just how innovative you can be with emotional matters! With Saturn and Neptune in conjunction with your Sun sign, both your level of intuition, and practical skill, will be heightened. This is especially true considering the shift into Pluto retrograde on the 2nd will only deepen your level of understanding with what is being withheld from you by some of the situations around you. My advice to you this month is to keep an eye out for red flag behavior among the people who keep you involved in their drama. Just because you can emphasize and heal others doesn’t mean that it’s your job to do so. The healing you do for others is an act of service, but not a requirement for your presence to be missed. Anyone you may find who doesn’t seem to understand that you can’t heal without feeling, doesn’t deserve your time. With Saturn’s influence - the only hardships will come from others pushing your boundaries or draining your energy. Either way, these hardships are happening so you can continue to grow in the areas of self-security. It’s time to become your own hero and save your dreams!

The importance of the signs you have in the houses part 2🔑🦋🌌

🔥The sign in 1st house represents your personality, how you dress, how you express yourself. What is the first thing others notice about you. What are you without a mask. Your Ascendant (or rising) sign is a powerful indicator of how you feel about yourself.

🌌Pisces Ascendant - People first notice your mystical nature and your dreamy energy. Your dressing style is usually based on an illusion (you choose something that you think is most beautiful at that moment). You can consider yourself a very intuitive and compassionate person who often feels the emotions of other people. 🥶Capricorn Ascendant -The first thing people notice about you is your intimidating nature. You emit a very powerful energy and people do not dare to approach you immediately. Your style can be very businesslike, or it can be quite the opposite of that. You consider yourself a respectful and strong person.

🧸The sign in 4th house indicates your relationship in the family and how you feel in it. At the same time, how do you behave at home. Your dream home. Describes both your home of origin and the one you have created (or will create) for yourself.

🔑Gemini in 4th house -Relationships at home can be open and involve a lot of communication. You're not afraid to say what you think. Perhaps you have two homes or two distinct strands in your ancestry, maybe an awareness of having split loyalties or moving between two cultures. Your home can have a lot to do with learning (that you have a place to write or a book space). You can have many captions. 🎈Sagittarius in 4th house -Your relationship at home can often be very direct and at the same time chill. Your parents can be optimistic and can also travel a lot. A multicultural element might characterize your family, with an "open door" atmosphere. Coming from, or making, a large family would be consistent with this sign here. You can move around a lot in life before you find your true home.

🌊Sign in 8th house shows your intimacy, intensity, emotions, depth and passion. Investing, inheritance, death and how to deal with it. Transformation and how you deal with troubles. More accurately perhaps, it describes a journey into dark places, whether this is the maelstrom of a divorce, financial crisis, or experiences of grief and bereavement. 8th takes us into deeper processes of intimacy and sharing It is here that we take a dive into the unknown, entwine our financial fortunes with someone else and risk laying ourselves open to loss, divorce, grief, or betrayal.

🫧Leo in 8th house-You want some experience and passion in a relationship. Many times you want people to chase you. To be seen and noticed without you doing anything. During a psychological crisis, they’re looking for more power, but not in others, not the situations happening to them, nor themselves. You are expressing your Light through the power you won and the influence you have over others, meaning you’re many times advantaged. You want to experience life without fear. You want to get back from your partner what you give. Having autonomy over joint finances is important to you. 🌨️Virgo in 8th house -It might take you a while to process experiences of crisis and catastrophe, but equally you can bring your critical faculties to bear in such situations. You desire to create a sense of order in your intimate affairs, shared possessions, and transformative experiences. When it comes to what they look for in a partner, they want someone who makes his or her own money and is practical.

🧁Sign in 11th house represents who you get along with best and what kind of friends you have around you. What are you doing for your desires and goals. What are your dreams and how do you feel in society. Your 11th house also provides clues as to how to approach problems in a friendship, since the 11th can reflect a clash of social values or evoke early memories.

💘11th house in Scorpio- You prefer a smaller number of people and people who are very close to you. Many times you want and value friendships that are intense, passionate, self-sacrificing and deep. You like to create a bond with someone that only you and that person know about. Friendship for you are for life and deep, difficult to achieve and very fulfilling. You always carefully choosing your friends. You are very passionate and persistent about your dreams. When you set something for yourself, you also want to fulfill it and you don't give up. 💜Libra in 11th house -This sign brings a sense of fairness and harmony to joint ventures; so you might find yourself playing the role of mediator between friends. You can easily stay connected with your friends and colleagues for a lifetime.You attract a lot of people and people always find you a person who is kind and sweet. But with libra here can bring a lot of emotional changes and if you don't choose a partner who will also be your friend, can this bring divorce.

Word find tag (shake, leave, useless, quiet)

@kaiusvnoir tagged me to search my story for shake, leave, useless, and quiet. Thank you!

I'm going to use a completed story for this, just because I can. These are from November Breaks (the book that comes before Spin Cylinder), which you can read and download at @novemberbreaksbywintersimpson 🌊

SHAKE Brett's POV

I turn as much as I can to look at you. Not because I’m trying to make you look back. Not this time. Just because I want to watch you, to absorb every detail and commit them all to memory for the thousandth time while the pain flares and I swear to god it’s all I can do to stop my eyes rolling back in my head. My breath shakes and I lift the cigarette to my lips again, but you let go and take it from me. One torturously casual draw and you pass it back.

LEAVE Noah's POV

The children who were playing football earlier run after the car until I turn the corner and leave them behind. I don’t think they were really trying to catch up. They were just chasing something because it moved.

USELESS Brett's POV

Ollie comes in, looking like she crawled out of a burning building. “This better be good, Archer. I’m thirty seconds away from delirium.” “It is good.” I hold up the bag and shoot one of those smiles at her, the kind that means business and gets results. “Oh, thank fuck,” she sighs. “I thought you were going to offer me a fucking energy drink or some other useless shit. What are we doing? Speed?”

QUIET Noah's POV

Parking up and getting out of my quiet dark car in my long dark coat, I, too, might be an exercise in brand identity. I am a cliché holding a gun. I am useful. I am a weapon. I am not really here.

Tagging @a-fox-who-writes, @aether-wasteland-s, @afoolandathief, and @ahordeofwasps, with an open tag for anyone else who wants to join in.

If you'd like to do it, the words to search your story (WIP or completed, because let's show completed works some more love around here) are tear, wear, near, and hear 💜
