As the fragrance of non-criminalized cannabis and distorted illegal midi knockoff ringtones from the local ice cream truck drift through my unnecessarily open windows this fine spring evening, here in the Best City on Earth (Philadelphia), I have been overcome by an uncharacteristic generosity that I for one blame on my unregulated hormonal cycle.
I am very pleased to announce that I have purged my extraneous Tumblr urls, and they are all now available to claim as your very own!
Context: I have been on and off this site since its beginning. So yeah, I obviously locked myself out of my first account like an idiot in like 2010, and I floated around a long while after. I guess i only dug back in enthusiastically around 2013/2014?
Anyway. Clearing out the stockpile. I had been planning to hold onto these for barter/ransom during the coming internet wars, but since I'm on like 4 psych meds now I see the error of my ways.

How far does the prophecy from The Lightning Thief stretch across the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series? Spoilers Ahead!
"You shall go west and face the god who has turned."
1. In The Lightning Thief, Percy, alongside his friends Annabeth and Grover, travels from New York to Los Angeles to retrieve his mother, Sally, from the underworld and confront the god who stole Zeus's lightning bolt.
2. In The Lightning Thief, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover discover Ares is in alliance with a revolt to free Kronos. Percy fights Ares and successfully secures Zeus's lightning bolt.
"You shall find what was stolen and see it safely returned."
1. In The Lightning Thief, Percy returns Zeus's lightning bolt. Conversely, Hades, who kidnapped Sally, returns her home.
2. In The Sea of Monsters, Polyphemus the Cyclops is stated to have stolen the Golden Fleece to improve the nature of his Island and lure Satyrs to their death. Conversely, Luke Castellan and his crew are stated to try and steal the Golden Fleece to quicken Kronos's resurrection.
3. In The Titan's Curse, Atlas holds Annabeth and Artemis hostage, and Percy, alongside his quest partners Grover, Thalia, Bianca, and Zoe, travels west and rescues them.
"You shall be betrayed by one who calls you friend."
1. In The Lightning Thief, Luke lures Percy into the woods, reveals he stole the lightning bolt and that he's working with Kronos to bring about the downfall of Olympus. In doing so, Luke, Percy's former friend, tries to hurt him and, inadvertently, sets Percy's story in motion.
2. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Rachel discover that Luke allows Kronos to use his body as a vessel to bring about the downfall of Olympus.
"And you shall fail to save what matters most in the end."
1. In The Lightning Thief, Percy fails to retrieve his mother from the underworld. Thus, his initial motivation for going on the quest remains unfulfilled.
2. In The Lightning Thief, Percy cannot convince Luke that bringing about the rise of Kronos is not an efficient way to dismantle a neglectful system between the Gods and demigods. This conversation is the catalyst for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
3. In The Last Olympian, Percy hands Luke the knife. Luke stabs himself in his Achilles Spot, stopping Kronos from rising, and preserving Olympus. It took the death of a hero fallen from grace to dismantle a neglectful system. From the beginning, Luke was destined to be beyond saving.

As a woman, figuring out that you like women along with liking men is not a huge deal, personally. But, exploring the fact that you may like women only and NOT men is daunting, honestly.
