For most of my life I've been afraid of thunder.

The deafening sound as it cracks overhead, the way it would send everything around me into a tremble and rattle me to the bone. The raw, unbrideled, and terrifying power buzzing in the air.

I've honoured Aphrodite for almost three years, but last year, I started feeling a strong pull to another of the Hellenic gods.

I never expected to feel so suddenly drawn to King Zeus. He was honestly the last God I'd expect to feel such a pull towards. But since then, he is alongside Aphrodite, the only god that never truly leaves my mind and heart.

Since then, I've slowly started to see thunderstorms differently. There is still so much power, and the sound still shakes me. But I also feel a sort of warmth.

I no longer sit through thunder and lightning afraid and rattled, hoping for it to pass.

I can sit in it now, letting myself become filled with the energy instead of pushing it away, and my heart fills with respect, gratitude, and reverence.

I'm still learning how to honour Zeus, but at least this feels right.

// Was looking for a new wallpaper for my computer, and found a really pretty one that gave me some rp feels, so I looked into it more because I’d never played Bioshock before (yes, I know, i know) and even downloaded a demo for the first game and now let’s just say not only am I thirty for a new verse but I’m going to be picking up a copy of the Bioshock Collection when we get to my parents’ house (if I can find it) so I can play it and listen to my muses scream at me the whole time.

I finally got rescued from the mad university house to come home for Christmas and had a lovely surprise - a new bed! My old one I’ve had since I was 4 - I’m 21 in a couple of weeks, so it was well needing replacing! It’s so lovely; had the best sleep in months;;;

// ... That feel when you decide to start up aesthetic/inspo boards for your muses and really start learning about a few who’d been rather quiet about themselves until then. ... //

// ... Watching the Yellowstone marathon got me and a few muses fiending for the chance to work on some verse stuff and maybe even a few starters when we get back home. Of course, Pinterest showing me pics that fit the verse setting doesn't help much, either. XD ... //

// ... When you accidentally go on hiatus for like, two and a half months without realizing it until you’re breaking out of quarantine mode to get things gathered up and ready to go down to Texas...

Apologies, my lovelies! It’s been a weird year this year, and coping has been hard for many of us, myself included. Also, my wifi adapter in my laptop has decided to finally die on me after acting janky for several months, going from simply disconnecting me from the internet every so often to dead refusing to connect even after trying out every fix I could find online.

But now that I’ve gotten an ethernet cable and crawled out of my hermit mode a bit, I’ve been redoing the rules page (yes, again XD but mostly for just aesthetics this time because i wasn’t fully sold on the last one even though it’s a really nice page XD) and even messing with a few bio pieces on the verses pages (which i am once again considering redoing along with the muse pages themselves, but haven’t yet come to a decision on because i do like the current look of them) to get those filled out and looking better. Also, I’ve changed the music for the blog finally since Flash is on its final leg, but if anyone knows how to get a smaller player or a button or something that looks better, I am all ears because while making playlists on Spotify could be fun, their widget is just too bulky.

But, anyway. Yeah. So sorry for disappearing on everyone... Again. My bad. I hope everyone is holding up as well as can be expected and you’ve found ways to cope with the utter insanity that has been 2020. And if you’re still struggling, keep hanging in there. We got this. Might take us a while, but we’ll get there eventually. Chin up, Buttercup. 💜 ... //

// ... Finally got around to playing Outer Worlds. Immediate need to verse. Loving every minute of my playthrough. So pretty and fun. ... //

// ... The damn pre text code isn’t saving so my meme answer doesn’t have its ‘title’ that I like to stick on meme answers to keep them nice and neat and organized and I’m super damn annoyed by it. Can you stop fucking things up, tumblr? Is that too much to ask? Just stop jacking with your own format and shit and sending me off the deep end because you’re screwing with my OCD and shit. Okay? Just chill out already! ... //
