Hello and welcome to my blog post How Whisk(e)y is Made. I love the taste but didn’t know how it came to be. Read on as I share the steps taken to create the amazing elixir I know and love called Whisk(e)y. Whisky or Whiskey? What I have been told is, in general, whiskey with an “e” refers to distilled spirits created in Ireland and the United States. Whisky with no “e” refers to distilled…

AU where Hades never cursed the Oracle of Delphi, and it not taking a new host really was just a weird anomaly case of no one "fitting" coming around. When May comes to camp and attempts to become the Oracle, she succeeds without any major issues. Apollo even allows her to raise her son- in her spare time where she isn't acting as his oracle, ofcourse. May's fine with it, overjoyed even. She moves into camp permanently together with Luke, Chiron allowing Luke to stay with his mother instead of going to the Hermes cabin while he's so young. Hermes meanwhile resigns himself to keeping his distance. He loves May- so seeing her like this, unattainable to him without risking the wrath of Apollo- well he simply can't bear it. Best not to risk it at all.

The dream comes crashing down for May much quicker than she expected though- turns out there's a lot more expected of her as Oracle of Delphi than she originally thought. She has to learn ancient greek, the culture of Camp Halfblood, and how things work. She has to advise people, and remain composed as she serves Apollo faithfully. (A younger Oracle would have had more time- would have seen less responsibility as she is allowed to grow into it. But May? She's a grown adult, and she does not have any of the leniency someone younger would get)

Years pass in the blink of an eye- and despite not spending as much time with her son as she wished she could- May does generally say that they are happy. She doesn't think much of it when Luke moves into the Hermes cabin at the age of nine. It's where all his siblings are, and kids to grow up quickly these days. It's note like he'd bee too far away either- all that really changes is Luke sleeping in a different spot! Chiron has been mentioning it anyway that Luke should join his siblings- Hermes had claimed him as soon as he moved into Camp with his mother permanently, and the boy's been kept from his cabin long enough.

It's not like she couldn't use the extra room and time for herself anyway. Being the Oracle of Delphi is a busy job after all. As the years go by May grows into her role more. Luke starts being independent from her more and more- spending more time away from her and with other campers. But there's no reason to be concerned about that, right? It's normal for children to grow independent as they age. And May is so proud of her baby boy when he becomes Hermes head counselor. His failed quest was...well, it was a low point. Especially when she had to look Luke in the eyes and give him a prophecy spelling doom. Believe her when she says that she spend every single day worrying about and praying for her child to return safely.

Especially when her brave boy refuses to take any companions with him, not wanting to endanger anyone else. It doesn't matter to May that Luke returns with a scar and no apple- all that matters is that he's alive. Her baby boy is alive and safe and that is all that matters. It concerns her when Luke refuses any of her attempts to comfort him. Turning his back anytime she approaches him, telling his mother "not to worry" and that "she surely has more important stuff to worry about than him"

May learns soon enough that her son needs space now. All her attempts are met with rejection and bitterness, so clearly Luke does not need- nor want- his mother right now. It's fine, May is sure her son is fine. Or at least she thought so until one day, on the last day of summer, Luke leads Percy into the woods and sticks a pit scorpion on him. Telling him about how horrid their parents truly are- mortal and godly. Afterall, no matter how much they say they "love" their children- there's always something more important. Another prophecy to speak, another camper to advise, another ritual for Apollo to perform. All that matters to them are the gods- a half-mortal child simply isn't important enough. And he's not gonna take it any longer. May is the Oracle of Delphi. Luke hates both his parents. And fate is unavoidable.

Do you think Hozier's Too Sweet could be a Toji song? 🫢

[walks up to the mic and whispers] i do. i think this is very canon au toji rejecting a person younger than him. that trope where you two are just fucking and where you're younger than him and you end up falling in love with his experience, the way he treats you, the knowledge that the years have given him but toji just refuses to give love another chance.

🍸 Writing Cocktail Recipe

Fuck it, I'mma start a game of tag because I can.

Rules: Pick 4 words (or less) to describe your writing and then use those words to make a drink recipe. Tag your writer friends because misery loves company.

Ghost of Futures Past

Equal parts prosaic and lyrical, top with visceral and a dash of the profane. Serve in a highball glass over ice.

Share your top shelf drinks, I'm thirsty. Let's see if we can stock the bar properly.

Tagging (but no pressure): @setaflow @luvwich @fly-amanitaa @dani-the-goblin @wanderingaldecaldo @shimmer-like-agirl @seeker-of-truth @neon-pink-witch @vox-monstera @civilization-illstayrighthere @ladykatie512 @corpocyborg @another-corpo-rat @merge-conflict @gamerkitten @juststayquiete @just-a-cybercroissant @therealnightcity

And anyone else who sees this and wants to join in. The open sign never turns off in this establishment...

Cheers! 🍻🥂
