Do you realize that Camp Half-blood is most probably a place full of juvenile delinquents? Like nearly all of them have committed a crime or two? If no, you should.
Hun explain More on your void experience tell me how exactly you asked the universe and what you said
I basically just repeated over and over again in my head for the universe to “take my hand and pull me out of my body” I kept saying it even as my hand was moving up.
It was also this really strange sensation like I could feel myself rising up out of my body in waves, I was sweating buckets and feeling like I’d run a marathon by the end of it.
I would also repeat more general affirmations like “ I am void” or “I am pure consciousness”. This helped more with concentration and gaining confidence.
Hope this is what you were asking for! Feel free to message me again 😊
I think if you asked Percy what his favorite animal is he’d be like ‘oh! definitely my buddy jeff! :)’ and then pull out his phone and show you a selfie of him in the fucking midnight zone smiling next to the most terrifying and fucked up deep sea creature that scientists literally haven’t discovered yet

Okay but if the Mythomagic cards were so accurate about the Minotaur and his underwear, and Grover used them to “train” Percy, does that mean the satyrs designed and mass produced these cards themselves? Whose idea was it? Did they like have a big meeting about recruitment and go “What do the kids like these days? Pokey-man? Let’s make a Greek myth Pokey-man game. That’ll help,” and they interviewed a ton of campers like, “Hey, I know that time you almost got killed by a Gorgon was super traumatizing, but we just wanna make sure our cute little card design is accurate. Were her snakes green or purple? Also, would you classify her as Class A or B in power?” Did the campers get super into it too? Was it a group effort? Do they have to update the decks regularly based on new information? Which generation of Mythomagic cards did Percy use? Is the OG packaging limited edition? How popular are they in normal life? Do they get covered by the Mist, and people like Rachel think they’re just insane when they see Mythomagic in a shop window, and everyone else thinks it’s a Pokémon deck? Are there satyrs out in the world running game shops, and whenever someone asks about Mythomagic, they’re like “Do you come from a single-parent household, and also do you want to be friends?” How deEP DOES THIS GO??
Rachel is officially everyone's sugar mommy. Like girl is the daughter of a billionaire with friends who are a) majorly traumatised b) have shitty parents c) are broke ass kids who prob won't live to see another day so she definitely buys unnecessarily expensive things for all of them
Rachel: Here
Percy: Thank you for the keys??
Rachel: Your welcome. The porche is outside chb
Percy: The what??
Obviously its a full time job to get her friends to accept her gifts but then Piper daughter-of-a-famous-movie-star McLean comes along and they join forces
Piper: I bought Annabeth a motorbike
Rachel: How do we convince her to take it?
Piper: I'm just saying its from Hestia
Rachel: Checks out. It'll probably make Athena pissed too
Geralt getting whacked with a truth spell but instead of Jaskier hearing a confession of love and an outpour of hidden emotions he gets days of a manic Geralt rambling like Brian David Gilbert revealing the most off-kilter unexpected secrets ever, turning his whole worldview upside down with revelations like
