I feel like I need to mention that in all of my AUs Connor Stoll was conceived because Ms Stoll pointed a gun at Hermes when he decided to break in visit in the middle of the night once.
And Hermes found that hot.

Finding Them When They're Trapped: Olympian Edition (NSFWish)
(I promise I'm working on requests but the horny bug bit ok)
🩷Aphrodite🩷
"Oh, darling, I'm afraid something simply tragic has happened. One of my suitors has taken advantage of me and left me like this!"
"...In your own bedchamber?"
Aphrodite waves a hand. As well as she's able to with the short chain connecting it to the bedpost anyway. "Sweetheart, it's sex. We don't need to apply logic to it."
"...I see." You sit next to Aphrodite, admiring the way the restraints draw her body into long, smooth curves. She wriggles in her chains, a deliberate enticement. An enticement too is the way she's looking at you, lashes fluttering and eyes locked sweetly upon your own.
"As I was saying..."
"Yes, yes, a horrible man left you tied to a bed and now I'm here to take advantage of that fact?"
"You do catch on quick, my dear."
⚔️Ares⚔️
Ares does not think this is funny. Unfortunately for Ares it is objectively pretty funny.
He glares at you from the bed, squirming against his chains. "Stop laughing and let me loose."
"I can't believe Aphrodite just left you like this!" You giggle. "I'm pretty sure she just straight up forgot you were here actually."
You can tell Ares is positively fuming about the whole thing. The headboard creaks as he yanks at the cuffs, but all the furniture upon Olympus is far too durable to break that easily. He glares at you once more and then sighs.
"Will you please set me free? I have something I wish to discuss with our dear Aphrodite."
Aphrodite has been so kind as to leave your favorite god naked, and you take advantage of this by resting your hand on his groin. You don't miss the sharp intake of breath when your skin touches his own.
"But it would be such a shame to let you go when I already have you here like this."
"I... be that as it may, I-" Ares's pupils blow wide with lust as you swing onto the bed to straddle his lap.
"Aphrodite isn't going anywhere. And-" You laugh. "Neither are you apparently."
"I suppose... my evening might still be salvageable after all."
🏹Artemis🏹
How embarrassing... to get caught in one of her own traps. Artemis is never going to live this down if anyone finds out about it. Too late for her, though, you've already found out about it.
"It's not funny! I just forgot where I set it, okay? Now let me down so we can both forget this ever happened."
Perhaps Artemis might be more intimidating if she wasn't blushing so fiercely. Oh yeah, and hanging upside-down by her ankle from a tree branch. That too.
"So if you're the prey, what's hunting you then? A deer? A bunny?"
You didn't think it was possible but Artemis blushes even harder. "Yeah, yeah, just get me down."
"Deal... but in exchange for not telling anyone about this, you'll owe me."
If looks could kill, not only would you be dead, you'd have been vaporized from existence. You start to walk away. "Or I guess you could just wait for somebody else to come by... Hermes, maybe?"
It doesn't take long for Artemis to break. "Okay, okay, deal! Now cut me loose before somebody sees."
As you're helping her down, Artemis shoots you another dirty look. "You’re just lucky I've got a soft spot for you."
🦉Athena🦉
One of the last places you expect to find Athena is stuck in a hole in the ground, but here you are. She looks up at you, visibly relieved to catch sight of you.
"Hail, Y/N. It would seem the Lady Artemis is leaving her pit traps strewn about the grounds. Again. I really must have a word with her about it. But first I require your assistance."
"Oh yeah? I hope you're not expecting me to carry you out of that hole." Look, Athena's like twice your size. You love her but it's just not gonna happen.
"No, nothing of the sort. If you could run to Hephaestus's workshop and fetch a ladder..."
You sit down at the edge of the hole, elbows resting on your knees. "I might do that. But to be honest, it's kinda hot seeing you be bested every once in a while."
"I was not bested. This was no battle of wills. This was my foolish half-sister being careless once again."
"Still... you being trapped is kinda doing it for me."
Athena sighs. "If you fetch me a ladder, I swear I will let you tie me up to your heart's content. Do we have an arrangement?"
"Done."
And you can't wait to take her up on that.
❄️Demeter❄️
"I'm going to kill that wretched foster brother of mine. We'll see if he can still throw his precious lightning bolts when he's encased in ice."
You've stumbled across Demeter cuffed to the railing of her balcony. You don't quite know what happened, but Zeus had something to do with it from the sounds of it.
"He told me I ought to get more sun! That it would be good for me! Put a smile on my face! Pah, as if there's anything to smile about upon this blasted mountain."
"Ahem," you say.
Demeter softens. "Ah... my apologies. Of course you give me cause to smile quite often."
"Would it make you smile if you said you looked cute in those cuffs?"
Demeter doesn't look in the slightest bit amused. "It most decidedly would not."
"Ah."
🍇Dionysus🍇
Dionysus had asked you to meet you in his vineyard but how strange, he doesn't seem to be here. Well, since you're here, you may as well look around. As you wander deeper through the plants, you hear rustling and the sounds of someone struggling.
He looks almost sheepish when you find him, half-buried in foliage with rogue vines twined around his limbs.
"Hey, so uh... there may have been a little... incident. Would you mind maybe lending a hand?"
"Don’t you have control over grapevines?"
"...These are special grapevines, yeah?"
And how kind of the vines to splay him out so beautifully. And to let him take off his cape first. And that all of his usual retinue is conveniently absent.
Dionysus shivers when you run a hand down his muscled chest. "And how exactly am I meant to help you if even a god as powerful as you can't set yourself free?" You stop just above where you're certain he wants you to touch him. "Shall I fetch someone to help?"
Dionysus whines when you remove your hand. "You’re such a damn tease, man! Just have your way with me already."
"I'm a tease? I'm not the one who's tied myself up in hopes of being ravaged."
"If you want we can switch places." Dionysus offers playfully.
"Hmm. Maybe later." You think you're gonna pass this up? Not a chance.
🪽Hermes🪽
You didn't expect to find the Messenger of the Gods tangled in a bunch of vines, but to be perfectly fair you're pretty sure he didn't intend for you to find him like that either.
"Oh, hi there, boss. I seem to have encountered a spot of trouble here but don't you worry, I'll be out in a jiffy."
He squirms, trying to free himself, but he's really just making the problem worse. Something he soon figures out when he sighs and looks helplessly at you.
"Don’t suppose you'd care to lend a hand?"
"Haha, oh alright," you manage through your giggles. "Hold on just a moment."
"Kinda can't do anything else," he points out.
You wade into the bushes, reaching for the vines that ensnare his wrist. Unfortunately, there's a bit more of them than you bargained for. One catches on your foot and you go tumbling forward, knocking both you and Hermes to the ground.
"Shit, sorry!"
But Hermes doesn't look as bothered as you thought he would. It's probably because your hand has landed squarely on his groin. You hadn't quite been sure if he was blushing before, but now he most certainly is.
He's not quite looking at you as he says, "You know it would really be a shame for you to let an opportunity like this go to waste, you know."
...He makes a valid point.
🔱Poseidon🔱
"Damn that blasted nephew of mine! I swear when I catch him, I'll- oh hello, dear! Would you mind helping your favorite sea god out of the predicament he's found himself in?"
You laugh. You can't help it; Poseidon looks absolutely ridiculous looking at you upside-down from the floor. Somehow he's ended up wrapped head to toe in chains, his arms pinned behind his back and his legs bound firmly together.
"What happened here?"
"That good for nothing nephew of mine, Hephaestus swore to me that he'd created chains so powerful that nothing could break them! I, of course, had to put such notions to rest. Nothing can overpower the might of the sea! Anyway, I uh..."
"So you let Hephaestus do this to you?"
You've never seen Poseidon look quite so flustered. "I, er... well, we don't need to linger on the past. Why don't you set me free and we can both go out to a nice dinner?"
"Not a chance, sea god." You drop to the floor beside him, greedily taking advantage of a sight you so rarely get to see. The might of Poseidon, bound. And looking quite handsome in his chains if you do say so yourself. "I think I've got a better idea than dinner."
It doesn't take Poseidon but a moment to catch your drift. "Ha! You best take advantage of the moment then because I don't imagine it'll be happening again."
Maybe. Or maybe Hephaestus will let you borrow these chains from time to time...
⚡️Zeus⚡️
It's funny... this situation that you've found Zeus in almost seems... familiar.
"Curses! Damnit... that blasted, darn Hephaestus... and my foul brother. I shall have both their heads for this, I swear..."
"Whatcha doin'?"
You've never seen the King of the Gods blush before. And certainly not so fiercely. "I um... well, I've run into a spot of bother. And it is entirely the fault of that wretched brother of mine. He insisted that these chains were unbreakable. Naturally, I had to show him the error of his ways. None can stand against the power of the heavens!"
Well, apparently being a cocky, arrogant idiot runs in the family. You drop to a crouch beside him, unable to keep the amused grin off your face. "And how's that working out for you?"
"Yes, yes," he huffs, "I can have a sense of humor like any other. You've all had your laugh. Now let me loose."
You reach down and squeeze between his legs, just enough that Zeus's eyes start to go hazy. He won't get mad at you for the imposition; he thinks far too much with his cock for that. "Oh, but I never get to top."
Zeus looks as if he's already having trouble formulating words. "Well... maybe just this once..."
Once? Not if you can help it.

About the confession fic.
PLEASE IM STARVING FOR IT.
Thank you.
Ps.( I need more percy headcanons from you they're so good LORD YOURE AMAZING).
pairing: percy jackson x gn! reader
summary: part 2 to this fic part 3
warning(s): blood, injuries, rough housing, cursing, SLIGHT jealousy, unresolved feelings whoops.. & mutual pining (they're just a little slow..)
a/n: HAHAH TYSMMM <33!! i wanna write more so badly but so much is going on with school i just haven't found the time.. :( (i have something in the works actually!!)
"are you okay?"
you jumped at the sound of grover's voice, waving his concerns off with a dismissive 'just fine'. and you were, for the most part at least. or as fine as you could be with the camp currently split in two on account of the disappearance of the young nico di angelo.
you weren't especially close with him - well, not as close as he would've been with his late sister. though, you had your fair share of moments with him.
while percy was away from camp on his quest with everyone else, you became to unofficial babysitter for the boy. taking on the role you assumed his sister had to play for him during the time they were together. and it was fun. you didn't have any siblings of your own so the thought of having your very own younger one just dropped at your feet was awesome to you.
well, it was till percy and the others came back and nico's seemingly never ending cheerfulness faded with the information of his sister's untimely death. it's things like that which reminded you of why being a half-blood was so dangerous.
she didn’t deserved to die that young - shit, nobody deserved to die that young..and in that way?
it's so..fucked.
"do you know when they said they'd be back?" you asked grover, turning to look at him since the first time you began to speak. he gave you an unsure shrug. "mm..soon? i'm not too sure," he turned to look past the camp entrance. " i wouldn't worry about it though, they'll be fine."
"you'd be surprised the amount of shit percy can get himself into.." you said to nobody at all. grover seemed put of by your uncharacteristic brooding. he spared you a glance before parting ways with you to do whatever it is he had to. you didn't want to do anything right now but sleep.
for whatever reason you'd taken it upon yourself to try your best to help out with every single thing you could around the camp, touring new comers, cleaning the pegasus stables - you even assisted the stoll brothers in cleaning the hermes cabin after someone (travis) had let a couple of gerbils loose in there as a prank.
it wasn't funny. you glared daggers at travis for weeks.
maybe you were trying to preoccupy yourself or maybe you genuinely felt like helping - you weren't sure. or maybe you just missed..something.. or maybe someone? you looked towards the front entrance.
yeah..you did.
you hadn't gotten any time to think about the weird interaction the two of you shared a few weeks ago yet, it was always fresh in your mind somehow. percy was so weird. it felt like since that day you'd started to see him less and less than before. could you believe it? this guy, someone you considered to be your best friend had been blowing you off!
what a dick.
worst part was the fact that whenever you did see him, he was almost always with annabeth. annabeth, annabeth, annabeth. i mean, they couldn't of even asked you if you wanted to hang out? why were they always together? always whispering to each other and avoiding eye contact when you'd meet their prodding gaze. it was so weird..
the last straw had to be when you'd overheard them talking one time. you didn't mean to eavesdrop, you just heard your name in passing and it instantly grabbed your attention.
"so..you're going to do it?" annabeth asked
"i guess."
"come on! don't be like that - you're going to scare her off if you're not passionate. about it"
"do girls..like passion?"
"obviously! you have to make her feel important." annabeth tutted. "you guys never get these kinds of things."
"you sound like one of the hunters.."
"hm?"
"nothing."
why were they talking about girls? did percy have his eye on someone? is that why he was avoiding you? he..liked someone and didn't want to tell you. but, he told annabeth about it.. and not you? you were offended - very offended. how dare he not share his feelings with you! the nerve of some people. it wasn't the fact he didn't tell you that hurt the most, it was the fact he'd told someone else before you. why was this the way you had to find that out? who else did percy tell..?
the idea of it all flooded your thoughts and refused to leave it for days after days. it might've been the real reason you were brooding so much. you stopped dead in your tracks as you looked over yonder. ares campers, and they seemed like they were preparing for something. your breath caught in your throat as they noticed you, a sneer forming onto their faces as they made a beheading motion, dragging their thumb across their neck in a threatening manner.
oh wow, capture the flag. your favorite.
"is too late to run back to my cabin?" you asked nervously, lacing your boots before standing up groggily. percy turned to look at you with a frown. "you gonna be okay?" you didn't spare him a glance, opting to fix your breastplate properly as you stared ahead.
"yeah, i guess." the corners of your lips curled as you made eye contact with another ares camper nearby who seemed to stare you down like a fresh piece of meat. your stomach turned as you clutched your shield tighter, exhaling shakily.
percy stared at you silently, looking forward at the line of campers then back to you. you turned to face him when you felt his hand brush against your own. he didn't react to your head turning, only leaning forward to grab your hand and hold it tightly.
you looked down at where your hands were clasped together then back to percy. he looked back you, a shaky smile making it's way onto his lips as he squeezed your hand tighter.
"for reassurance," he explained, lips tugging into a small smile. you nodded like you understood what he was doing, turning back to face in front as you tried your best to stay focused on not dying.
as so as the match started you were almost hit with an arrow, courtesy of the apollo campers, you concluded. your shoes scrapped the ground as you ran for cover, mud caking onto your shoes as your legs went as fast a they could.
you could hear yells and chants behind you as you dodged the botany of the forest, ducking down to hide behind a larger looking log as you waited for the opposing team to run past. your lungs hurt and you were pretty sure that arrow had just barely missed your face because there seemed to be a small slash on the side of your right cheek. as the sound of the footsteps grew farther and farther you moved out again, running past the log as you made your way to the East Woods.
A hushed whisper of your name caught your attention as you took notice of Annabeth who seemed to be trying to blend in with the surrounding woods.
"jeez, are you trying to get killed?" her eyebrows furrowed. "those ares campers are betting on this match." she rolled her eyes. "those brutes, you'd think they'd try to have some kind of sympathy for the people they hurt." she seemed to ramble on about something under her breath to which you did not hear nor care to even hear.
"where's percy?"
annabeth gave you a look. "i don't know," she looked to her right wearily. "i thought he was with you."
something in your stomach stirred. you'd just seen percy at the start of the match..what happened..? you frowned, moving from annabeth's hiding spot as you planted yourself onto the ground once more, equipping yourself with your weapon once more as you held it close to your chest.
"what do you think you're doing?" annabeth exclaimed. "you can't be out in the open like this, there's barely any cover. you'll be attacked."
"everywhere in this forest is the open."
"you know what i mean." annabeth sighed. "look, i've got a plan but, for to work we've gotta wait a little, okay?"
"what plan?"
"i can't tell you all of it right now." she frowned. "just follow my lead.."
you weren't too trusting of annabeth's plan yet you complied, following after her as she moved from her hiding spot, meticulously through the forest. she was quick on her feet and you tried your best to follow her example but it was harder to recreate with your mud ridden sneakers.
it happened quick, you barely registered the sound of a flurry of arrows being set off at you and annabeth, the two of you ducking out of the way as you took to your feet sloppily, running for your lives. your heart pounded as the sound of 4 different pairs of feet chased after you. annabeth panted harshly as she looked around in a flurry, grabbing your wrist as she made a sharp turn right into the weapon of an ares camper.
they raised their sword and swung down viciously without restraint. your shield was barely able to block the attack, swinging back as you put distance between the camper and annabeth. she seemed shaken up but still readied her weapon, steadying her helmet on her head.
you stared at the ares camper with furrowed eyebrows. "is it true you guys are betting on us..?"
he didn't reply, rushing forward to swing. your shield cushioned the blow yet the rather old material seemed to shatter slightly under the weight of the swing. what the hell did these campers eat?
you threw your shield to the side, backing away steadily as you steadied yourself. annabeth stepped forward as well, swinging at the camper with precision, trying her best to block the harsh slashes. you tried to catch your breath, bringing your hand to your chest as you raised up your head shakily.
you merely stepped forward for a minute when another camper rushed towards you, knocking into your body with full force as you flew to the side, slamming against the tree face first. your nerves could barely register the pain as your collapsed onto your side, falling right onto your right arm.
you cried out in pain, reach forward to clutch your arm as blood smeared against the sleeves of your clothes. you curled into yourself as your body grew heavier and heavier. you could remember the faint sound of yelling before you finally blacked out, losing consciousness.
you woke up gods knows how much later in the infirmary. your ears were ringing and your chest hurt. how long had you been in here? a few hours? a few days even? you looked around the room wearily, nobody else had been inside - it was practically empty. you tried to stand up but took notice of the fact your arm was bandaged.
what exactly happened..?
the door to the infirmary swung open, gaining your attention as your head snapped towards the figure that opened it. your eye widened slightly when you locked eyes with percy. he seemed surprised you were awake, his eyes glinting with a spark of concern.
"hey.."
"hey." you two said in unison. silence fell over the two of you as percy idled in front of your bed for a moment before pulling up a chair and placing it near your bed, sitting down on it as he gazed at you with worry.
"did you just wake up?" percy asked, trying to seem normal.
"sadly," you exhaled. "i would've liked to sleep a little longer."
"well, you were out for a while." percy said absentmindedly. "i - uh, we were kind of worried about you."
"thanks." you smiled slightly, raising your head to peer at what it was he was holding in your hands. "what's that?"
"ambrosia," percy replied, fishing out a small cube from the pouch. he held it towards your mouth, waving it around slightly as he waited for you to lean forward and bite it.
"you know i can feed myself, right?"
percy frowned. "why can't you just let me be nice?"
you didn't reply, shuffling forward as you opened your mouth, allowing percy to slip the treat into your mouth. your mouth swirled with the best flavor imaginable as you sunk into your bed with a sigh, turning your head to the side to gaze at percy who looked at you wearily.
"how long was out for?"
"pretty long, you broke your arm and a few other things when you fell," he tucked the pouch into his hoodie pocket. "those ares campers are so.."
"insane. can't believe they were betting on people's lives." your eyebrows furrowed. "isn't that fucked?"
percy hummed in response and the two of you grew quiet again. you stole a glance at percy taking notice of the slight eyebags on his face and the redness of his nose.
"annabeth told me everything," he paused. "i'm sorry i wasn't there."
you shrugged. "it was no big deal, i mean, i'm still alive, right?"
percy leaned forward in his chair, bringing his elbow to rest on the cover of your bed, bracing his head in his palm. "yeah but," he paused. "i don't know what i would've done if you didn't manage to bounce back." you stared at him quietly as he seemed to zone out.
"i don't know what i'd do with myself if you ever got hurt."
your eyes widened as you registered his words, your lips curling upwards. so, maybe he didn't hate you.. you sat up in your bed slowly, bracing against the pillow you were resting on as you turned your body towards percy.
"that's not gonna happen," you paused. "..again." percy smiled yet still looked slightly distressed about the whole situation. you reached out to cup his cheek, a teasing smile pulling at your lips as you stretched them outward as far as you could.
"hey man, don't worry - i'm going to be fine, stop brooding now."
percy grunted rebuttals in response, exhaling when you finally released his face with a tired giggle, readjusting yourself to lay down on your bed as you settled in with a hum. percy rubbed his cheek soothingly, leaning forward to admire you.
you didn't register he was staring at you till you turned to your side and locked eyes with him, heart beating in your chest as the two of you stared at each other in silence. percy broke the eye contact, placing his hand on yours that laid still on the bed as he interlocked them.
you gave him a quizzical look as you squeezed his hand.
"it's for me." percy smiled sheepishly. "i wanna know that you're okay."
you didn't say anything only smiling to yourself as you closed your eyes, slowly fading out of consciousness as you dozed off clutching percy's hand.

okay so this one might be common knowledge, but something i discovered today that is currently blowing my mind:
the "main hub" of Elpis is called Anagnorisis, right?
From the wikipedia article on the term:
"Anagnorisis (/ˌænəɡˈnɒrɪsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀναγνώρισις) is a moment in a play or other work when a character makes a critical discovery. Anagnorisis originally meant recognition in its Greek context, not only of a person but also of what that person stood for. Anagnorisis was the hero's sudden awareness of a real situation, the realisation of things as they stood, and finally, the hero's insight into a relationship with an often antagonistic character in Aristotelian tragedy.[1]" (emphasis mine) "In the Aristotelian definition of tragedy, it was the discovery of one's own identity or true character (e.g. Cordelia, Edgar, Edmund, etc. in Shakespeare's King Lear) or of someone else's identity or true nature (e.g. Lear's children, Gloucester's children) by the tragic hero."
Anagnorisis is where we meet both Hermes and Meteion for the first time. Not only is Elpis the site of the WoL and Venat both discovering the "true nature" of the Final Days and Meteion, but it's also the turning point for the WoL to understand Fandaniel as a person, and the decisions he's made that led them to this point. You can also argue that Elpis gives us insight into Emet-Selch, and definitely into Hydaelyn and Her decisions - a non-antagonistic example, but still.
Anyway, that just made me lose my mind a little bit. The amount of subtle things like this the devs slip into the game....
#ffxiv#ffxiv meta#i guess?#ffxiv endwalker#ramblings#again this might be common knowledge - a couple people i pointed this out to were already aware#but i still think it's NEAT so posting this for anyone who didn't already know!

BRF Reading - 19th of March, 2024
This is speculation only
Cards drawn on the 19th of March, 2024
Question: Is there a media embargo on news about Harry and Meghan?
Interpretation: Yes, definitely.
Card One: The Page of Swords in reverse.
Pages are messengers, and here the Page is in reverse, so he can't spread his message around. The Page of Swords is my card for gossip and spreading something to the four corners of the earth. It can also represent social media and online news. In both those cases, the message is blocked as the Page is in reverse. So there is definitely something that is stopping some news/gossip from being written about and spread by the media.
The energy of this card is one of pent up energy - something wants to be released and it is being stopped, so it is sitting there buzzing with energy and frustration. The storm caused by this news will probably be bigger for the news being delayed, like a storm builds up and then bursts over the land.
Card Two: Judgement
Judgement is a card of being judged. It is also a card of second chances. Coming after the Page of Wands in reverse, this tells me that the news will have someone (Harry, see below, and possibly others) being judged, most likely quite harshly, by the media and the general public, and the embargo on the news is to spare them the judgement and give them a chance to redeem themselves.
The card shows Hermes, the Messenger God, in the underworld, the place of secrets, so it is quite likely that this news is a buried secret coming to light.
Judgement represents the planet Pluto, a planet of harsh energy and transformations, so it is likely that the judgement caused by this news will be harsh and it will change the life of the people involved, probably not in a good way - I'm getting a very stern and condemning energy from this card.
Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio, so there may be one or more sun sign Scorpios involved in this embargo, including possibly King Charles.
Card Three: The Seven of Cups
The Seven of Cups is a card about choices - where do I put my emotional energy, what do I want to manifest? Some of the choices are good and some of them are not so good. It can also be a card of illusion, wishful thinking, and indecision.
I am getting several energies from this card.
Firstly, someone chose to embargo this news, and part of that embargo was to give choices to the people involved (Harry as per the underlying energy, and also anyone else involved in the BRF).
Secondly, the energy feels like this embargo is based on a delusion or an illusion of some sort - a promise of better behaviour in the future? There is an energy of begging involved. The card shows Psyche begging the goddess Aphrodite to let her reunite with her husband, and the goddess gives her three hard tasks to fulfil before that happens. There is the same energy of begging here, but if tasks were given then they have not been fulfilled - there is not energy of triumph, just exasperation and a reluctance to make the final blow (release the embargo). The reluctance is combined with a 'if I wait things will get better' energy, which itself has the feel of wishful thinking rather than reality.
Card Four: The King of Cups
This is my card for King Charles, a sun sign Scorpio, in his aspect as a person (father/husband etc) and not a king. His energy is coming through this card very strongly, so it is definitely him. I am also getting an energy of emotions clouding rational thought, of making decisions based on what you want to happen rather than what is actually happening. There is a lot of emotional energy coming off this card.
This card confirms that King Charles is involved in this embargo, and is most likely the person who set it.
Underlying Energy: The Knight of Pentacles
This is the card for a sun sign Virgo, and here it is radiating Harry energy. Harry (not Meghan) is the person being protected by this news embargo, and Harry is the one who will suffer when it is released (and hopefully Meghan as well, but the focus of the King of Cups and the Scorpio in the Judgement card is on Harry).
Conclusion:
Yes, there is definitely a news embargo in place. It was most likely set or confirmed by King Charles, or he is involved in it in some way. The news embargo is for Harry and for Harry's sake. It looks like this is to give Harry a second chance and a chance to redeem himself, as when the news is released people are going to be judging him harshly and condemn him. It could also be a chance for the BRF to get their story planned so they appear sympathetic. Part of the embargo or the reason for the embargo seems to be a hope that Harry will somehow improve or make better choices, a hope that appears to be wishful thinking on the part of the King. There is also an emotional attachment to Harry that makes The King very reluctant to lift the embargo - I feel that he would rather the problem just went away by itself and the story could be buried forever.
The news most likely involves the revelation of a buried secret. It is big, and the delay in releasing it will make it appear even bigger. The media wants to tell this story - I can feel the frustration at having to be silent in the energy of the Page of Swords reversed card.

└────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────┘
Tw: crazy with a mix of mania, heated make out, and slight sexual themes not the whole Shabang tho. 🦭🍇
You know as the daughter of Dionysus, I wasn't expected to be sane.
"Yo D whaddup!" I lazily smirk down at my dad while dapping him up.
"How's it going favorite." He returns dapping me up with a crisp smack.
Me and him don't have the most normal relationship, but i'm okay with that, At least it's not like daddy issues over here.
I look over to some curly blonde haired kid with blue eyes, he goes on about wanting to see his father and if Dionysus could help him.
I turn on my heels immediately uninterested, actually i was thinking bout the time i drew a dick on clarisse's forehead with a black paint marker, now that was legendary. Imagine trying to scrub a giant penis off your forehead realizing that it wont budge a inch, dessert privileges were lost, but seeing clarisse with her usual smug smile wiped off and beautiful art work plastered on her forehead, was like a full course dessert table served in front of me on a golden platter.
I walk over to the black smiths to see my friends Jake and Amy, we were known to be the outcasts, we aren't children feining over glory or some bullshit praise from the gods, we were looking for trouble instead.
"Yo Jake" I slide onto the desk he sketches his new weapons project for Amy, the daughter of Hephaestus, Jake hisself was a Hermes boy, not my proudest moment befriending one of them, but he's cool in my book.
You see we're the trouble trio, my charm mixed with Jake's amazing ability to steal and Amy's ability to craft anything we needed for our stupid ideas, we were practically unstoppable.
"Whatcha drawing?" I quirk my head to the side as he quickly scrambles his notebook closed.
"Birthday surprise, don't push it anymore, Mr. D threatened to chop off my toes and feed them to tartarus if i snitched this time." Jake shuddered at the thought of my dad threatening his life.
"Pshh light work, i would've unleashed tartarus in your room instead" I smirk at his mouth dropping wide open.
"And there goes Astrope, always one upping Mr.D's unstable craziness, somehow" Amy rolls her eyes at our bickering.
I push my wine colored hair out of my face and into a pony tail. My sea green eyes with specks of violet in the iris trails back to Luke Castellan the camps golden boy, He defines the word glory, always trying to prove something to someone, if you asked me, i think he's a garde A loser.
"Who else is gonna carry on the legacy" I say booping Jake on the nose.
"Wow very mature of you princess" Luke rolls his eyes.
"Why thank you, I think I'm rather mature myself pretty boy."
I look over to see him slightly blush and look down.
Cute.
"Anywayyys, I'm throwing a party later, thanks giving and all, who's joining." Amy takes a seat next to Jake leaning her elbows on the table.
"Why thank you for the personal invitation, but you're only throwing this party so you can scout out the new ares boy this year." I roll my eyes at her.
"And so what, the new curly brunette is fine." She says with dreamy eyes.
"Your type is brunette curly hair daddy issues and anger management." I say taking the apple Jake was eating, he prostest me with a small 'hey', but that doesn't stop me as I chomp a fat bite in the middle of said apple.
"Hands off, troglodyte. Getcha own apple" Jake huffs while snatching his apple back.
"Booo tomato tomato tomatooooo" I blow a raspberry at him as we get up to head to dinner.
Luke follows Amy on her trail like a lost puppy, everyone suspected he was whipped for her,what they didn't know was my deep crush for the boy ever since I met him, it's a horrible love triangle.
"Well if you want me to get the goods you're gonna have to distract the camps janitor." I say sitting down at the Hermes table with the three for dinner.
"Huh why?" Luke questions.
"Well Luke, Chiron find alcohol In my cabin, bad." I say slowly shaking my head.
"But if Chiron finds alcohol in the janitors cabin, he'll just think he hates his job or something." I shrug.
"So basically you're saying you hid alcohol in dito's cabin." Jake grinned at the challenge.
"That's his name?" I raise my eyebrow.
"Yeah.. what have you been calling him the whole time.." Luke looks at me crazy.
"Irrelevant.." I roll my eyes.
"So we need a plan we can't just walk into the janitors cabin and grab wine out a hiding place" Amy says munching on her celery sticks.
"Righttttt about that. I hid the alcohol there two summers ago and forgot the hiding place so we're gonna need two on watch out and two on rummage duty" I cringe.
"Astrope I should slap the living shit out of you right now. But in the fear of Tartarus and what Mr D would do to me, you are off the hook." Jake says straight faced with a finger pointed at me.
"Look here goes dito right now." Amy whispers.
"We could distract him now, then three of you can head to his cabin?" Jake said shrugging.
"How are we going to distract him." Luke says with an eyebrow raised.
I chuckle sarcastically then go straight faced looking into his eyes.
"Watch the master do her job." I say getting up from the table and turning around hitting dito on the shoulder on accident.
"OH DEER, IM SO SORR-"
I cut him off pulling a spoon out of my pocket, gripping the back of his head and pushing it to his jugular.
"ARE YOU THREATENING ME, CHUCK." I scream.
This takes everyone's attention allowing the three to sneak away.
"MY NAMES NOT CHUCK.." his voice wavers.
I pull the spoon back pointing it in this face while walking backwards.
"AND DONT FORGET IT." I yell turning around so I could sprint to dittos cabins.
┗━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━┛
I slide the window to dito's cabin open abruptly falling face first onto the floor scaring the three to death.
"JESUS ASTROPE A WARNING NEXT TIME" Jake yells.
"Uhhh warning?" I shrug laying on my stomach kicking my feet back and fourth.
"How bout you get up and help look, you lost it princess." Luke says rummaging through cabinets.
"Right, check the floor I remember putting it in a secret wooden floor board that slides open." I sigh getting up looking under the bed for it.
Instead I find skimpy lace panties and diamond earrings.
"OUU EARINGS." I say dangling them by my head.
Out of no where the lunch lady walks into dittos cabin wearing a skimpy silk robe and.. I don't want to know what's under.
She clutches her heart and gasps.
"DITO GET IN HERE!!" She yells.
"FOUND IT!" Amy screams throwing the box out into the long cushioned grass.
Quick I need a distraction.
I take out my blow torch lighter and fire it over by the sheer curtains hanging by dittos bed.
"YEAH DITO GET IN HERE! SO YOU CAN WATCH ME LIGHT YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE." I scream back at her.
I look around to see Luke scramble out the window so I jump out with him and close it behind me.
Amy takes the box and run with all of us behind her we make our grand escape behind Zeus's cabin deep into the woods where a bunch of the people in on the party we're helping us by decorating.
"REALLY? LIGHT YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE ASTRO?" Jake yells at me waving his hands around.
"Well it worked I didn't see you making a distraction?" I roll my eyes.
Everyone just looks at me stupidly shaking their heads. Jake even started to boo me, followed with a train of boos.
I hop on a log pointing at them all.
"GIVE ME YOUR BOOS I AM NOURISHED, BY YOUR HATRED." I yell.
┗━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━┛
Luke pov
To say Astrope was crazy is an understatement. To be honest I don't know how I even developed a crush on her.
It just happened, her crazy and flirty attitude just draws me in somehow. It's like a drug, you taste some and it's never ending.
To say she was the daughter of the god of ecstasy was an understatement.
She just seems so carefree and untouchable. It's hard to make a move on someone who never takes anything seriously.
┗━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━┛
Astrope pov
Surprisingly the party so far was a success.
even after our scandalous breaking and entering fiasco.
Many people were having fun, except for Amy. The ares boy she had her eye on, and even asked out, had ditched her to talk to a pretty Aphrodite kid.
I see her and Luke talking, him resting a hand on her shoulder for comfort. It kind of ticked me off, but bros before hoes yall.
I sigh grabbing my dagger out of my holster sitting down next to Luke and her by the lake in the sand.
a couple of feet away from the party in the woods. Nobody could really see us, but I noticed her running off and Luke trailing behind her, so I followed.
"Who are we killing. I won't do kids that's a rule. BUT the rule is negotiable if the kids a dick." I say wiggling my eyebrows.
And to my success it makes her laugh, I smile putting my dagger back into my thigh holster.
"How do you do it astrope" Amy sighs looking down.
"If you mean being absolutely funny and the hottest one in the room, don't stress it comes natural babe. Ya either got it or ya don't" I smirk flexing whiling grunting.
"You see that, you seem so care free all the time, I don't know how you do it."
"I don't." I shrug
"What does that mean." Luke questions.
"I just don't, I don't care nor have I ever, I just do me"
"If it was up to me, I'd push the girl aside tell him that I like him and that he can either take all this or shove it." I say with a trashy Jersey accent.
Amy lunges over luke to hug me tightly.
"I don't know what I'd do without you girl." She whispers in my ear. Then hopping on her feat she takes a deep breath and starts walking in her crushes direction.
I chuckle laying down in the sand, a small tide washes over my bare feet as the full moon pushes the river.
"You know you're right princess" Luke says.
I turn my head to see him already looking at me.
"Yeah and what about pretty boy." I whisper sitting up leaning closer to him.
"About caring too much." He sighs looking down.
I frown scooting over to push some of his hair back, he leans his face into my touch. I blush deeply, luckily the moons shine wasn't too bright.
"Princess, I like you." Luke whispers to me, his hot breath dusting my cheeks.
"I like you more pretty boy." I smile.
He leans in closing in the space between us kissing me deeply with need.
The kiss was sloppy and fast. It was heavy with need, not really caring who took control, just needing an outlet for these suppressed feelings.
Laying down as he crawls on top of me. His fingers slip around my throat grabbing hold of my jaw with his finger tips, his other hand sliding up the side of my thigh griping it with such strength I knew bruising would definitely show up int he morning.
I slide one of my hands under his shirt feeling his defined stomach, the other hand snaking around the back of his head to grip onto the back of his curls slightly tugging on them.
He groans into my mouth as I push my hips up into his allowing me to release some built up tension while he marks my neck up and down with sloppy kisses and bites.
"Fuck, princess I need you." He groans panting and sweaty.
I sit up immediately taking his hand leading him to my cabin.
As soon as we get in he grabs me by the back of my thighs. I wrap my legs around his waist slamming the door closed behind us he lays me down on the bed taking no time with slipping our close off discarding them around the room.
"Are you sure about this princess" he says just when he lines up collecting slick from how wet I am.
"Yes Luke jus need you." I whine arching my back when he finally pushes in.
Our groans almost pornographic as I could only see straight stars. I wrap my arms around his back scratching down.
He groans snapping his hips harder with more force.
I'm definitely gonna be sore in the morning.
┗━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━┛
I wake in the morning with Luke laid on his stomach arm wrapped around my waist as I lay on my back.
I get up leaning on my elbows looking at all the scratches left on his back from the previous night. As well as the hickies running up from his jugular down to his stomach.
I smile tracing all of the cute little reminders to all the girls that might think that have a chance, that they don't.
"Morning princess" his deep morning voice grumbles out.
"Morning pretty boy, how'd u sleep?"
"Good" he gets up kissing me on my temple.
"You know sooner or later you have to get up and sneak back to ur cabin before my dad throws a fit." I say tolling my eyes.
"Yeah I know" he sighs getting up slinging on his shirt and pants sitting back down on the bad to give you a kiss.
"See you later princess" He says opening my window and escaping into the back of the cabins.
I sigh not really believing yesterday happened. All of a sudden I hear an obnoxious banging on my cabin.
I get dressed with Luke's hoodie and my shorts underneath. Only to open the door face to face with my father.
"Burn your house down.. really?" He scoffs.
"So you're angry?" I squint, just happy the topics not about a cute tall muscular brunette who just hopped out my window moments ago.
"Where is it." He whispers looking around frantically like someone would hear him.
"What?"
"The alcohol I know you have it."
I shake my head smiling.
"Well halfway into the party Chiron busted us and took it, sorryyyyy" I say slamming the door in his face laying back down to sleep.
It's six in the morning and too early for this, I'll deal with the mess I made later...or never.
Sooo ts is long and messy I'll fix it later.

Greek pantheon x WW! Reader
A/N: I had an idea 💡
Zeus: our training will be glorious!
⚡️Power, beauty, intelligence. Say less. Zeus defeintely wears his heart on his sleeve and he definetly loves training with his powerful partner.
⚡️Even if his beloved hits him directly in the face he just loves it and the lasso?! Zeus: Kinky.
⚡️Zeus finds the lasso of truth interesting 🧐; because if they ask what’s he’s been up to while tied with it he always says” I was thinking about you.” Which is the truth. If he gets a hold of it and captures his Amazon Zeus has some interesting questions ⚡️
⚡️Everyone in Valhalla knows Zeus and (Name) are training because they hear “Boom” and see shockwaves throughout the realm.
⚡️During the giantomachy I’d imagine it would play out very differently; the two definitely kicks some ass and have each others back. All is fair in love in war and if Zeus can he’ll save his beloved only to wink and say “You owe me one love.” As he proceeds to fuck up more soldiers.
⚡️Zeus definitely loves to be picked up by his WW! S/o and they are able to fly around Valhalla ♥️ Zeus also likes to woo so his amazon lover should expect gifts 🎁 and little love poems.
⚡️When the time comes he definetly asks his beloved to be in the ragnarok; he has 100% faith they’ll crush their opponent.
🗡️ Ares and his beloved train all the time and everytime he learns something new; in the beginning Ares wasn’t the best but he learned and he’s only getting better even if his s/o is still stronger than himself.
🗡️Sometimes Ares brags about his s/o but it comes from a good place; he just knows his WW! S/o is just powerful and sometimes she will have to kindly tell Ares to knock it down a few pegs.
🗡️ Ares won’t admit it out loud but he loves WW! s/o a lot especially when they fly and they can carry him in their arms ♥️ and when they kiss in the sky Ares will always remember it.
🗡️ Ares is scared of the lasso of truth because his beloved always asks him (while being tied up) “Did you eat my food when I wasn’t looking?” Or “Did you take my shield out today? It has several dents on it.” And Ares has to tell the truth 🥴🥴 but he knows his beloved Amazon will forgive him.
🗡️If his WW! S/O gets picked for Ragnarok Ares will be there and he’ll be cheering and doing a little bragging. Hermes doesn’t mind it because it’s true.
🦁 Like Zeus combat and love mix and training always comes off as nice blend because the two exchange blows but sneak in a few loving moments.
🦁 the two definitely debate about Hercules getting a shield; Hercules doesn’t like it but his beloved Amazon says it’s essential. if Hercules has a mission in Midgard he definitely takes her with him and if there are any monsters terrozing they definitely put an end to them.
🦁 it’s funny because IF his beloved ever takes damage Hercules is very protective of them and he’ll definitely try to get payback. Even though he knows his love is okay.
🦁 Hercules loves that his WW! S/o can fly and will sometimes ask if they will give him a lift; they definitely kiss in the air a few times. (Bitch I’m jealous)
🦁 Lasso of truth has no power here. Hercules always tells the truth. So when he gets tied up he just laughs and says “I always tell the truth.” ♥️ however while Hercules could definitely use the lasso he doesn’t.
🌸 LOVES HER WW! S/O so much.
🌸 “Kick their ass babe!” “How strong, my love is the best.” “A beautiful body with intelligence.”
🌸 before the two get together she’s the biggest fan; the biggest fan. The reason Valhalla knows about (Name) is Aphrodite. Especially in meetings. A monster is in Valhalla? She volunteers for them to go …just so she can play damsel in distress and she knows her idol will save her and when it happens she’s smitten.
🌸 Even though Aphrodite isn’t a fighter she’s definitely there to support her lover anyway she can; if her WW! S/o is training she’s there with water. (And it’s only for her love; if anybody’s else is there ..that’s their problem.) Outfit torn from battle? Aphrodite makes sure her WW! S/O gets an new outfit or she tries to fix it. ♥️
🌸 Their love is definitely sweet; and in Ragnarok she cheers for them and supports them anyway she can. (We’ll ignore that Aphrodite gave her WW lover a tight hug before fighting with shower of kisses 😽
🌸 the lasso of truth is scared of Aphrodite (lmao). Aphrodite tells the truth…a bit too much. “The lasso compels you! Where is your favorite place to be kissed.” “My goodness, I like to be kissed on my cheek-oh! Also my neck and don’t forget my chest-“
🌸 Aphrodite: 100
Lasso of truth: 0
💀The picture of his brothers in his throne room also has a big picture of his WW! S/o. All the while in the background as Hades reads a book as his beloved is round house kicking demons that decided to cause trouble in Helheim that day.
💀 in the Gigantomachy even though Hades handles the titans by himself he wishes he could have seen his WW! S/o take on Gaia and her army. Hades heard it was like watching Athena fighting and when Hades sees the soldiers on the battlefield that she handled he just melts on the inside.
💀 the two train sometimes; Hades in his later years doesn’t do it as much but he will do it for fun if she asks.
💀 Lasso has no power on Hades really, so he asks to borrow it to use it on his brothers. Hades has caught Zeus and Adamas. One day he will get Poseidon. So far he knows more about his brothers; he’s definitely the favorite brother. ♥️
💀 No demon has escaped Helheim with these two; the two are a power couple. When Nostradamus is sentenced to Helheim (Name) feels like he shouldn’t be there and definitely takes the boy in. Which Hades doesn’t protest. Beelzebub has tried to take on the Amazon of Helheim (a title she has earned) and definitely sees why Hades likes her.
🔱 Power Vs Power
🔱 “It’s decided then! We take out their army and destroy our enemies!” (Name) “Wonderfully said! Let us destroy them!” (Zeus) “…” (Poseidon)
🔱 Most of the time Poseidon doesn’t say anything because he respects his WW! S/o strength and intelligence as she does the same for Poseidon. The Greek pantheon prizes strength in all forms and Poseidon believes his WW! S/o will get the job done even if he doesn’t say it.
🔱 The gigantomachy had to been a sight to see as the two were a force to be reckon with. Poseidon destroying his enemies while his beloved Amazon not only keeps up him in combat but helps out others. Yes. Poseidon is secretly preparing a wedding but his beloved doesn’t need to know that.
🔱 Poseidon loves that his WW! S/o can fly and sometimes he hates it. Like in battle, he loves that because it’s such a proficient power and yet if his WW! S/o sneaks up from behind him and scoops him up in her arms there is nothing he can do and it takes him by surprise. Air kisses? No. Put him down first. Instead they get water kisses (since WW can breath underwater and I’m going to assume so can Poseidon) ♥️ (now Poseidon doesn’t mind air kisses in the air if the two have their intimate moments 🫣. Actually they all of the Greek pantheon like that. I’m just saying.)
🔱 lasso of truth is Poseidon’s enemy and he always dodges when his WW! S/o tries to tie him up with it. Poseidon doesn’t like the lasso on HIM because he can’t hide behind his wall. It’s not that he lies, but if he doesn’t want to share something then he just gets grumpy. (Since he has to tell the truth) However! If it’s simple questions like “Who is your favorite brother? The lasso compels you!” Poseidon doesn’t mind questions like that. Although If his beloved isn’t careful Poseidon will tie her up too and get her to answer A LOT of questions 😈 (like her favorite jewelry stone for marriage)
🎼 After a long day of fighting/training Hermes definitely likes to relax his sweet and kick ass amazon. Sometimes by playing music and whatever relaxes her. After a rough battle if she asks for something Hermes will provide; he doesn’t spoil her. Of course not. ♥️
🎼 Hermes didn’t believe in love at first sight but when he first saw her destroying Gaia’s soldiers in the gigantomachy he definitely experience a fiery heart ❤️🔥
🎼 in Ragnarok he silently cheers her on, and if Ares has a question (which he does) Hermes gives concrete details of her power and strength. Maybe in too much detail. ♥️
🎼 Loves, love the fact she can fly and always commends her for giving him a lift sometimes with a kiss and sometimes just with a smile. ♥️ Won’t talk about the two using her flight powers for other purposes 🫣
🎼 Hermes has a love/hate with the lasso of truth, if it’s used on others that’s fine but like he would prefer if she not use it on him. So, he dodges if he can.

*YAPPIN AHEAD; EVERYTHING STATED HERE IS MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION*
Alright I have officially finished TLO and... oh man where do I start. So I'm gonna be real blunt and say, I'm underwhelmed. I genuinely did not like the way this ended mostly because it all felt like so.... little to me? Like, okay yeah- Luke got his redemption. I'm glad for that, I mean he is my all time favorite but like- it felt just sort of rushed? Idk, I wanted to see more of, well, Luke. I wanted to see more of his good side, his caring side. I wanted to see him really struggle against Kronos. See him fight against it, not just sort of suddenly breaking through. More build up would have been nice. Now it just feels like Rick not having known how Percy and Annabeth could have won against Kronos so he shoved Luke in to finish the job for them. I also disliked how Thalia just straight up wasn't there. Like- let me see her reaction to Luke killing himself for them. ESPECIALLY after these just borderline heartless lines she had about him previously. AND THEN THAT LINE AT THE END WHERE HE ASKED ANNABETH IF SHE LOVED HIM OMFG.
Like good god WHAT WAS THAT!? The heck?????? So THAT'S the mother of the groomer allegations? I'm gonna be so for real and say that this line was just HORRIBLE. Not only did it sound REALLY bad, but also???? didn't make any sense?????? First Annabeth says that she never loved Luke and then adds that he was like a brother to her and I'm like???? So you DID love him, like a BROTHER. Rick does know that love doesn't equal romantic feelings for someone, right????? But also how are people calling Luke a groomer because of THAT!? Like yeah that line is,,,, bad, and ngl I hate this line as much as the next person but also????? THAT'S ONE LINE NEVER has Luke shown ANY romantic interest in Annabeth. The one romantic relationship we know he had was off page with an ADULT monster.
Him loving her romantically is just straight up stupid, it had no build up and makes no sense. Not only would it make no sense but it would also royally screw up the ENTIER REST of their theme? Like their whole thing was FAMILY.
"FAMILY Luke, you promised" Like let's all be honest with ourselves , Luke having romantic feelings for her is just... stupid. An objectively stupid take.
Also someone please teach this fandom what the world groomer means, thank you very much. Yeah otherwise I... really don't feel much for Luke's death beyond anger and annoyance and disappointment. I resigned myself to him probably dying at the end as soon as Kronos possessed him at the end of BOTL so I had my time to prepare myself. Again to me Luke's self-sacrifice just felt like the author not knowing how to defeat the bad guy and thus shoving smth in. Well either way at least my fav can get reborn now and have a shot at a good life. BUT ALSO???? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS PERCY DIDN'T DO SHIT TO PREVENT SOMETHING LIKE LUKE HAPPENING AGAIN??????? Like let's be realistic, what did Percy achieve? -Everyone get's claimed and brought to camp now -Everyone has a cabin now And don't get me wrong those are great things but..... what else? Genuinly what else did Percy achieve? The thing that drove Luke off the deep end wasn't just that kids went unclaimed and minor gods not respected. Sure it was PART of the issue, but by far not all of it! The demigods are still used as cannon fodder for quests. Their mortal parents are still abandoned with them. Camp is still training up child soldiers. NOT TO MENTION THAT HERMES HIMSELF SAID THAT GODS AREN'T GOOD AT KEEPING PROMISES FOR THAT LONG AND WILLS ONNER OR LATER GROW JUST AS NEGELECTFUL AGAIN
Like let's all be real here Percy didn't really SOLVE anything! All he did was set back the times of a ticking time bomb and calling it again.
And that time bomb WILL be going of sooner or later! Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in a year, maybe not in Percy's lifetime. But it WILL blow again. That's just inevitable at this point. (And part of he hopes that it's a reincarnated Luke starting a revolution attempt nr.2 purley for the irony & to drive the point home)
I also still don't buy Hermes' bullcrap excuse of not being able to interfere with Luke's fate. I mean bffr that guy SEND LUKE ON A QUEST, and HE COULDN'T HAVE HAD JUST REMOVED HIM FROM HIS MENTALLY UNSTABLE MOM!? Yeah no, I still hate the gods. And now I sort of hate the ending of the books too because in the end they didn't really mean anything, and were sort of underweling imo.

Here's a snippet of the Halloween fic wip, cause I decided to rewrite this chapter
@smileyalater @thel1ghtningthief @unubinary @bodeyeen2132
I am trying to fit a Valgrace plot
Camp Halfblood! Camp Halfblood! BE GLAD YOU'RE STILL ALIVE
Chapter 1. Leo’s Pov
The meeting room of the Big House was in complete chaos and not of the fun kind when I walked in.
Connor (or Travis? I can never tell them apart) Stoll from Hermes was picking at the peeling paint of the meeting table (which was really just a Ping-Pong table with foldable chairs around it). His brother was trying to put a whoopee cushion on my chair. Clarisse, my buddy Frank’s scary older sister from Ares was sharpening her spear Lamer. Clovis from Hypnos was slumped over in his seat, fast asleep. My friends Piper and Jason were in their seats looking really bored. A girl with a blue bob was sitting in the Demeter seat looking like she was about to blow a gasket. She seemed to be Miranda’s replacement.
The rest of the counsellors (the newbies) who I didn’t know were yelling amongst themselves.
“What are we going to do?” I heard someone yell. “Miranda is dead!”
Dios, I thought. Not something you want to hear when you walk in the room. Personally, I’d prefer it if every time I walked in everyone cheered and threw confetti.
“No, she isn't you idiot! She’s in the infirmary!” Someone else yelled.
Oh, that’s better, I thought. I squeezed my way past Clovis to my seat. Since I came back from, you know dying, my siblings made me head counsellor. So, it was up to me, Captain Valdez, supreme leader of Cabin Nine to sit at the Ping-Pong table with the big kids and help solve the latest camp crisis....
Whatever that crisis was. I’ve been in Bunker nine working on upgrading Festus for the past...three maybe five days? And Nyssa didn’t explain much except ‘Miranda got attacked in the fields, Leo get your butt to the Big House stat’.
It was fine though; I figured this was going to be a quick meeting. In and out. Lots of people get attacked or mauled at camp. As much as I hate to say it, this was the normal at Camp. This was probably just going to be a quick meeting on weapon training and a slideshow presentation on the art of not dying.
I pushed the whoopee cushion onto the floor and smiled at the Stoll brother closest to me, sliding into my seat “Hey, what’d I miss?” I asked.
“Nothing much” Piper said across from me.
I sighed, pulling out some pipe cleaners from my belt. “What even happened? Did the strawberries go rogue and start going on a rampage or something?”
Before Piper could open her mouth to reply, Chiron, the camp’s unofficial camp director walked in—or more wheeled in, he was in his wheelchair. Will Solace from Apollo and what I'm assuming was the school year counsellor for Annabeth’s cabin followed him close behind, taking their seats.
“Counsellors!” Chiron called over the noise, “Let’s come to order now,”
The room fell into silence, and everyone looked at him and Will.
He wheeled himself over to his spot at the end of the table “As some of you have already heard. Miranda is in the infirmary from very...” He cleared his throat, “.... gruesome injuries sustained from an attack in the Strawberry fields.” He glanced at Miranda’s blue haired replacement, “Don’t worry, she’s okay.”
I felt like that was contradicting, but that seemed to calm her down.
“Do we know what attacked Miranda?” Jason asked from the end of the table, looking cool in a rugged way, he was growing his hair out. He’s a son of Jupiter, so while me and Piper were living it up, starting super cool clubs and making up secret handshakes; He was on the other side of the Ping Pong table with the other big three kids, who were only there half of the time.
Will Solace shook his head, pulling his bloody medical gloves off and putting them on the table (gross, dude), “No, no one saw it. It disappeared into the strawberry plants before anyone could see it properly.” He replied.
“What about the bite mark? And the scratches?” Annabeth's brother asked, “That could help identify it!”.
Will shook his head, “I already told you, that’s what’s weird about it, the bite didn’t look like any monster I’ve seen before.” He paused, frowning. “It looked… almost human.”
Jason frowned too, “Maybe an Empusa?”
“Doubt it,” Will said, “They usually go for men, and we would of saw it and it disappeared into the plants, very few things do that”.
Miranda’s replacement perked up “Maybe the dryads saw something? We could ask—”
Clarisse cut her off with a snort “Already tried, Sherman’s on a warpath. He asked the nymphs if they saw anything. They all refused to talk”. She lowered her spear, glancing around the room, “I uh...I wouldn’t be so sure on their loyalty.”
Everyone stared at Clarisse. If we were in a movie the soundtrack would be going Dun dun dunnn, right then.
Jason’s brow furrowed, “You think the Dryads are in on it?”
“Not saying they are,” Clarisse replied, “But it’s suspicious they’re not talking. Normally, they’d be jumping to defend their territory.”
“How dare you!” Miranda’s replacement looked around to see if anyone was going to back her up “You all can’t really be thinking—”
Jason cut her off, “—So, the dryads clearly know something. That’s not good, this is more serious than we thought."
I thought he could say that again. Even I knew how bad it was; if the nymphs were covering for a monster, then we were in Trouble with a capital T. Camp was surrounded by nature, they outnumber us. If they decided to do a plant uprising, we’d lose a lot more than the pretty ladies who serve our food at meals.
He looked serious now, his blue eyes were deathly calm, like a storm right before the lightning strike. The small scar on his lip quivered. His elbows were up on the ping-pong table and his chin was resting on his chin, which meant he means business, and he was doing his ‘I have a plan; trust me I am the leader’ face.
I looked down at my hands, I somehow managed to tie my pipe cleaners to both of my sleeves like hand cuffs.
“Here’s what we’re gonna do,” Jason said slipping into his leader voice, and I decided to ignore my pipe cleaner imprisonment to listen to him, “Stolls, Clarisse, get your cabins to patrol the campgrounds, especially near the forest and the fields. Leo and Malcolm, both your cabins can collaborate on traps, right?”
Annabeth’s brother—Malcolm, nodded. Clarisse grunted and the Stolls grinned.
I saluted with both my hands (still handcuffed) “Aye Aye Commander Grace! I won't let you down!” I promised.
Jason smiled at me before turning to Piper and continuing, I grinned back, “Okay, Piper, you and I are going to take a walk and try and figure out what’s up with the nymphs”.
Piper nodded.
Jason nodded back and then looked at the remaining counsellors, he went down the list of cabins, giving them each a job. No one argued with him. That was the thing with Jason’s leader voice, it was like charmspeak. When he spoke, you listened.
#That was the thing with Jason’s leader voice. it was like charmspeak. When he spoke. you listened.#<-Cant tell if I want that to be an actual Jupiter power or Leo just being gay#pjo fanfic#wip#hoo#Leo Valdez#Jason Grace#Piper mclean#Valgrace

OKAY
We GET IT. You want us to die, Uncle Rick. WHY ELSE WOULD YOU MAKE SURE PJO BECOMES SUCH AN AMAZING SHOW. Look I had my doubts. I scowled whenever I noticed a change (however, the everbeautiful Tumblr connected the dots for me to understand why change is sometimes better in scenes I wouldn't change). I WANTED there to be dumb kids shenanigans with auntie M, Crusty and Ares. I wanted to see him blow up cop cars and make it make sense to mortals that Percy is a kidnaped baby so he can scam them for money to go back. But despite that. DESPITE THAT. Rick and EVERYONE. every. Single. Person. That worked on the series in the most miniscule of ways. Did an amazing job, bringing our childhood to life. And I hope it will be a gateway for others to join. Titans know,the Movie That Shan't Be Mentioned was mine.
It's amazing. Backbiter tearing away fabric of space so Luke can be on the run again? A perfect thing for a son of hermes on the run. The way Chiron addressed Percy seeing Luke's point? Flawless. Percy not luring Ares to deep waters and standing on a wave but instead crashing him so he can run up to him, slash his ankle and get it over with? Slay. Lance Reddick as The Man? Lovely performance. Amazing. The pride and power that he displays.. I have clapped twice during the episode out of excitement and once as a paying tribute to his performance. Almost everything was great. Gabe being a shitty guy who gets divorced? Fuck yes. BEING STUPID ENOUGH TO ASK A *LAWYER*, WHOM HE JUST OFFENDED, IF HE KNOWS ABOUT LOCKPICKING? HAH! and stealing that package.. Yes we won't get the Poker Buddy statue that she sells, but it still displays what an asshole he is. STEALING A PACKAGE FROM A KID. HOW DARE YOU.
The only thing that didn't smell right to me was how quickly Percy got to New York from Montauk. He could've taken a taxi or something (I'm sure Tumblr will have a post that'll connect the dots for me again). But the cut just seemed just.. Not handled as best as it could've been but that's such a teeny tiny detail. Anyway. THE OLYMPUS WAS BEAUTIFUL. AND ZEUS IS A BITCHY BIG BROTHER. AS SOMEONE WHO WAS BEATEN UP BY THEIR BROTHER RECENTLY BECAUSE OF HIS PRIDE AND POWER I FEEL THINGS WHEN I WATCH HIM AND POSEIDON. And poseidon giving up instantly to save his SON? Forbidden son like Thalia? (yes I see you, playing to his ego, mwah)
Luke, constantly saying We because he just can't fathom that Percy would say no? Oh my heart. Yes there wasn't the scorpion I hoped for but they made up for it by making the scene amazing without it.
Annabeth being there to see him?? And choose Percy?? AND THE PACT? THE STRING W BEADS AND RING?
AND SALLY TAKING NOTES OF HIS NIGHTMARES W GRANDPA?? SO THEY CAN STUDY THEM AND FIGURE SHIT OUT? I love her. So much.

Transiting Mercury enters Gemini
Monday, June 3 - Monday, June 17, 2024
Two whole weeks…? Mercury is in lickety-split mode. Especially with Mercury speeding through Gemini, “things” are apt to move quickly. Got to keep our wits about us, for sure.
How these next two weeks may go down:
Learning - I love all the myths about the birth of Hermes (upon whom the Romans based Mercury). Dude invents the lyre and of course is an absolute virtuoso - then gets bored with it and hands it over to Apollo. That’s the Merc/Gemini learning style, all right - picking it up quickly but getting bored soon afterward. We’re really interested in everything, which means commitment to one thing shortens our time with everything else.
Thinking and reasoning - my natal Mercury is in Gemini, and one of my complaints in math classes was always, “Why do I have to show my work if I got the right answer?” Sometimes those right answers just present themselves in my brain - I can see it all in my head, but language isn’t involved in the process - making it hard to explain. The position provides for lightning fast intuitive flashes, but not always the step-by-step details.
Communication - slow down, if you want people to understand you. And are you trying to boost your own ego by showing off your extensive vocabulary, or are you trying to be understood by the other person?!?
These aspects - blink and you’ll miss them. They’re good on the day and that’s about it.
Tuesday, June 4:
Mercury/Gemini trine Pluto Rx/Aquarius, 1°52’
Mercury/Gemini conjunct Jupiter/Gemini, 2°12’
This is the one time we may actually kindle an interest in something, that actually lasts beyond the moment. We’re thinking big and profound, with breadth and depth. Pluto gives us staying power.
Sunday, June 9:
Mercury/Gemini square Juno/Virgo, 12°18’
Mercury/Gemini sextile North Node/Aries, trine South Node/Libra, 12°23’
Getting too nitpicky with the partner - or, blowing off what the partner is trying to tell us. If we can get over our egos’ delight in our own cleverness, we have a lot more clarity.
Wednesday, June 12 - Mercury/Gemini square Saturn/Pisces, 19°10’. Depressed - maybe because we can’t commit; maybe because we have to commit and we don’t want to. It’s important to take responsibility for what we say and how we say it.
The next aspects are all close together, but Mercury is moving so quickly they probably won’t blend into one another.
Thursday, June 13 - Mercury/Gemini sextile Chiron/Aries, 22°46’. Apologies go well, provided we don’t get too glib. Opportunities to help someone else out.
Friday, June 14 - Mercury/Gemini conjunct Sun/Gemini, 24°06’. This is the “Superior conjunction,” halfway point of the Sun-Mercury cycle. Up til now we’ve been eagerly experimental about figuring things out, but after today we’re more inclined to the tried and true.
Saturday, June 15 - Mercury/Gemini sextile Eris/Aries, 25°22’. Telling someone off?! We can be very fluent in expressing our anger. We can also speak up for what’s right.
Monday, June 17 - Mercury/Gemini square Neptune/Pisces, 29°52’. Mercury enters Cancer a couple of hours after this square matures - time to get in touch with our feelings, which are scrambling our poor brains.

other people may be too scared to have hermes get sucked into the azem friendship circle but not me i think hythlo and hermes could make pretty decent ''were not friends but were in the same room so often that if i got my foot trapped in a window i would call you over to come help me instead of getting embarassed in front of the fire department'' comradery. when althaea has rats in her apartment and doesnt wanna kill them but gets scared theyre going to eat her maggots she makes them come over (hades wants nothing to do with it) and while althaea is busy choking back sobs theyre standing in her kitchen trying to move her fridge because they saw it go back there and they think its made its hole/nest there but neither of them can really get it moving, and theyre trying really hard to move this fridge and they know they cant just unmake it because althaea is very particular about her shit so hythlodaeus is using his amaurotine brittle bones to try andget this ice box MOVING and hermes is like hold on maybe i can get behind it and push it out and this is where they find out elpis researches are shredded because they have to tackle creatures twice their size, so heres hermes getting up on the kitchen counter and trying to stick his hands as far back behind the fridge as possible and hythlo trying to help by grabbing from the lower bottom sides to make it do a scoochie but little do they know hermes is about to produce a force not unlike that of a polar bears bite and the fridge moves forward just enough to scare hythlo into thinking the fridge might fall on him but it actually just rocks a little as it scoots forward. enough for them to find the hole in the wall the rat lives in and with a bit more wiggle room hermes can jump behind the fridge and push it back farther with his back while hythlo scrambles to get up on his feet. and now whence the fridge is out of the way and the hole is made they recognize that they had no plan for if they actually found and hole and just look at eacher before hermes proffers that they can just. stick their hand in the hole and see whats up. and hythlo is like is this what you do on elpis? and hes like yes. for golphers. and hythlos like golphers? and hes like dreadful golpher problem yes. and with nothing else to lose hythlo takes initative and sticks her hand in the hole and is actually sort of horrified to actually touch the mouse. and once again althaea (and hermes) take issue with just blowing up animals to aether so now hythlodaeus has a hand full of mouse (roof rat actually) with his arm elbow-deep in his girlfriend's wall and he doesnt know what to do. so he just slowly extracts the mouse out which makes althaea cry harder because now its PROOF she had a MOUSE IN HER HOUSE and her POOR BUGS WERE IN DANGER and she was a horrible bug mom to let them be in this danger. while hythlo holds a dusty roof rat in his hand. and hermes asks for the mouse and with nothing else to really do he hands it over and watches hermes slowly approaches althaea with it which only makes her start wailing harder until he waits for her to calm down enough to show her the mouse and start telling her about them and how they primarily feed on seeds and berries and were probably attracted to her bad habit of eating walnuts in bed. and he eventually calms althaea down enough to get her to hold the mouse and shes like Theyre sorta cute up close..... and she starts talking to it and looking at it in its big ol eyes before saying something like this shouldnt live in the city where it can get hurt but she'd feel horrible taking it so far away from the only home its known to a scary place like a big field but she cant have it in her house cause all of her little maggot children might be scared of them
and hythlodaeus knows whats coming and his shoulders flinch backwards cause he can never say no to althaea asking him to house a poor little creature at their apartment for her and that she promises to come over and feed it and bath it and watch over it she just needs it to live at hythlos place. and this is the closest theyll get to having children. so what surprises him even more is when she turns to hermes instead and asks him to house that mouse and hes surprisingly accepting of this and takes the mouse and says hell care for them and then althaea holds the mouse while they set her fridge back to rights and during it hythlo cant help but feel a bit jealous that hermes got to take the animal this time because of said elaborate bullshit about this type of thing basically being the closest he'll get to having children with althaea but he blows this off because its one of those intrusive thinking patterns that he doesnt actually believe in and hermes isnt a threat to their relationship hes just a good friend and someone althaea is really enjoying having around since they met long ago when hermes first visited elpis as a child and althaea got to meet another kid and hang out with him after living at the cthonic horns with just her sister to play with for thousands of childhood years. so its like a heartwarming reconnecting moment where two kids who briefly met and thought theyd never see each other again get to be friends as adults and the mouse is like a welcome back gift between althaea and hermes. but hythlo goes home and has a nightmare about a fridge falling on him

Honestly, i'm OBSESSED with your Danganronpa x Percy Jackson AU and i wanted to know some stuff (you can make separated if you prefer !)
- What are the team in capture the flag ?
- Do you think Aoi and Kiyotaka say weird stuff about nature that freak out people ? (Ex : Kiyotaka : Yeah i can tell that one of those flowers is slightly hungry, let me get her some soil)
- Do the Greek and the Romans know about eachother ?
(Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy it. 😁)
First of all, I like to imagine that Makoto's kind of treated as, for lack of a better word, a mascot to the campers; just this mortal guy who is cool and friends with everyone. Less off-putting than the Oracle. So maybe he gets to blow the conch shell before and after the game, just because they like involving him. For Capture the Flag, I'm going to say Apollo, Ares, and Aphrodite vs. Hermes, Athena, and everyone else. So, side 1: Sayaka, Leon, Mukuro, Junko, Hifumi, Toko, and Hiro. Side 2: Chihiro, Mondo, Taka, Celeste, Sakura, Aoi, Byakuya, Kyoko. (I think the initial status quo is that the V3 cast isn't in either camp.)
Absolutely. I think Taka would be more frequent and casual about it, like, talking about the "infighting" of plants and weeds vying for nutrients. He's just taking a walk and then he suddenly stops and says, "Uh-oh. They're fighting." And he crouches down and takes some time guiding plants' root systems so that they'll both survive. "There. You almost choked the life out of each other!" Whereas Aoi is usually pretty lowkey about her heightened awareness of the sea, unless something particularly excites her. She'll just be dancing in place with pent up energy, and if someone asks what she's so hyper about, she'll answer that there's a great riptide off the coast of Brazil right now and she really wishes she were swimming there. Other than that, she will hold full conversations with fish in front of people.
I'm going to say the camps do know about each other, but they try not to interact much. There are rules about staying separate except during sanctioned meetings, though some characters break those rules. (Hajime in particular probably can argue, and has argued, that he isn't a demigod and so the rule doesn't apply to him.) Maybe they have occasional camp vs. camp competitions, for the gods' entertainment or glory.

Azem: Hey Hermes, hows it going? Hermes: The world is a bleak place, these unfeeling kins hold no value in life. My only recourse is to send out Meteion to travel the stars in hope that she may bring back good news. Azem: Ah, I see. And what did she find? Meteion: The Sun is set to explode in a cataclysmic supernova in roughly 5 billion annual cycles. Azem: ...why don't we just blow it up now? Hermes: ...what would that do? Azem: Give you something to take your mind off your impending doom? Hermes: ...fine. Meteion come hither, we are going to blow up the sun. --Later-- Emet-Selch: Azem, did WHAT!?! Meteion: Blew up the sun. Emet-Selch: WHY!?! Meteion: To cheer up, Hermes. Emet-Selch: Fucking...alright...yeah sure...blow up the fucking sun, we can just build a NEW ONE! Anything else? Meteion: Every bipedal catfish person, seems to be doomed to die a horrible death no matter their planet of origin. Emet-Selch: Well DUH! They shouldn't of commented on Loghrif's lips in front of Mitron.

(”If you plan to push me down the waterfall--”
“Not when we have lives on the line!” Cross snapped back. She jumped down ahead of him as he stared after her in surprise. “If I wasn’t here to save our world, I would’ve pushed you off to lighten you up, sure, but now’s not the time!”
Hades blinked, then quickly recovered his composure and followed after her.)
Of course Meteion’s running was because her sisters had found something she didn’t want to be a part of. Of course something had to have gone horribly wrong with whatever was out in space.
And of course Hermes had to go berserk, transform in front of them, and take off and hide somewhere to listen to Meteion’s report -- something she said would break him when he heard it.
Her pleas for her to protect them settled in her ears as they ran through the research facility, trying to catch up with Hermes. It didn’t stop her from working in sync with her three companions, but....
(”I didn't take you for an archer,” Hythlodaeus remarked.
“I was trained in it when I was young,” Cross said, “but this is my Bard set, actually! I use song to bolster your attacks and mine.”
“I thought I’d noticed a brief strengthening of the aether.”
“You should have chosen something else to diversity our attacks,” Hades shot over his shoulder as he took another attack with his broadsword.
“I would have, but I don’t have the best gear for my Black Mage right now,” Cross shot back. “Between the two, I like my destructive magics more, but I keep finding things I can use with my bow.”
The comment caught Hades by surprise, and he looked over his shoulder with a raised brow.
“I know how to use a little of everything, but give me the chance to blow something up and I’ll do it!”
Hades rolled his eyes, doing his best to hide his shock. “Ah, yes; there’s the Azem I know.”)
And then Hermes caught them in a trap at the top of his research facility, as Meteion succumbed to despair and transformed with Dynamis, as she said she was going to bring them to oblivion because that was the only way to bring happiness, because her sisters only found dead and dying planets.
And...he gave in. Cross could see them -- the seeds of what would become the crazed Fandaniel, the suicidal Amon, had been sewn. He decided that, because the ancients destroyed what they thought were anomalies, they should let the universe -- let Meteion -- decide if man should be allowed to live.
And to even the scales, he would use the magick of his facility to make them forget that a judgement was being passed. That Meteion was bringing the Final Days to them.
Hades, Hythlodaeus, and Venat worked together to get Cross out before the magick could take effect, at the sacrifice of Hades’ and Hythlo’s own memories of their time together those last few days. They tried to catch Meteion as she fled, but the little bird girl was too fast to be grounded.
...as much as Cross wanted them to remember, to know her, she knew this had to happen. This had to play out, for her future to be secure in the way that it was.
Emet-Selch telling her to not let their legacy go to waste...she could see him saying Remember Us again in her mind.
Venat quickly showed her back to her exit point. As much as Cross wanted to smack Hermes silly for what he’d done...she couldn’t when he’d caused himself to forget. And he was already dead in the present. They had a plan now, at least, and information.
And a target.
Meteion wanted Cross to protect the world from her? She’d do exactly that.
...as soon as she could get all the Scions in one place and tell them “Hey, Elidibus sent me to the past and we need to talk to Venat.”
Garlemald was looking to be that place. Again.
Except, this time, under red skies....

Living with Intention - Hermes Edition
Welcome to a new series I'm starting: "Living with Intention" where I compile lists of mundane tasks that you can infuse with intention for different deities or divine purposes. As a follower of Hermes, I'm going to start with him!
Are you about to order a drink from a cafe or Starbucks?
Let's order something with strawberries. How about that strawberry and cream frappe? A wonderful spiritual offering for the fleet-footed deity and a sweet treat for you.
Choosing accessories to wear for the day or maybe an outfit?
How about we choose something with the colours that you associate with Hermes. For me it's orange and red.
Need to remind yourself or someone else about something?
Make sure that message gets delivered! You wouldn't want to let that message go undelivered right? Be on your feet and do what you can to get this reminder across clearly and appropriately.
Along the same line, feeling a bit down?
Write a letter to yourself about what you enjoy everyday and about yourself. Letters are a great way to let our your feelings and Hermes can guide your writing.
Having a day out?
Embrace the wind and FLY. Fast, trickster Hermes is racing you, you better put up competition! Feel the wind against your face and smile. If moving isn't something you can do, feel the wind from a window. Hermes is laughing in the wind and racing it.
See a phase in another language in a piece of media you're watching or reading?
Do some research behind the phase. What language does it come from? What does it mean? Why do people say this?
Need to make a decision?
Roll some dice or flip a coin. Life's a gamble.
Wanna have some fun with dice and a coin anyway?
Make some bets with Hermes and see who wins.
Nice day out? Friends free? Let's go on an adventure.
Even if it's just in your backyard or at the park, make fun out of it in the name of Lord Hermes!
Have a bit of spare change you don't really need?
Leave it somewhere random for another person to find and feel lucky.
Playing games?
Remember to have fun and make the most out of your time. It's just a game but doesn't mean you can't have a hell of a time playing.
Found a patch of clovers?
Pick some (and thank them!) and blow them from your hand like a dandelion while making a wish.
Some bopping music playing?
Dance and vibe like NO ONE IS LOOKING. Well, Hermes might be, but he's also vibing. Join in!
Have a speech to present?
Imagine Hermes is in the crowd cheering you on. He's proud of you.
Feeling lucky?
Celebrate it with laughs and cheer.
Wanna do some writing?
Hermes is right by your side. Let's do it!
A loved one going for a drive?
Wish them a safe drive. Hermes will help them along the road.
