I have a feeling that Lance is one of those people who likes to give others cute nicknames 🌞

Okay so little witch tip: do not read tarot cards while you are upset. Here's why.

I've been struggling with reproductive/fertility problems. I generally have a rule where I do not do readings on myself because it can sometimes cause anxiety and you aren't always the best person to do your own readings. Out of frustration and desperation, I decided to read my own cards.

I did my first spread and read them. Not only did it not involve the question at hand in any way, it pointed me to a bunch of other possible problems. This is when I broke my other rule that I have for myself: never ask the same question more than once in a sitting.

I pulled multiple spreads, each one giving me confusing, stressful, and paranoid answers. I kept pulling cards with similar, negative messages of relationship struggles, along with reoccurring suggestions like "concentrate", "rethink your priorities", "now is not the best time to make decisions", "try not to dwell on the past", "you may experience difficulties soon", "a period of hardship brings new opportunities"

I gave up at one point, stressed from the negative answers. Eventually I took an anxiety pill. It wasn't until I calmed down, that I realized that the deck was trying to communicate something that I wasn't hearing. The negative, frightening messages were a reflection of my own paranoid insecurities. The reoccurring suggestions were the deck screaming at me to put it down until I could concentrate, clear my mind, and calm down. My wack emotions were grossly interfering with my ability to work with the deck and properly read them. Tarot decks are funny like that. They tend to mirror the person wielding them. The deck is only as good as the reader, and if the reader is putting off crazy negative vibes, the cards will only have that to go off of.

When I was finally calm enough, I redid the spread. It gave me a normal, straightforward reading about the subject I had asked about. It was that easy.

Be aware of your mental state before using divination tools!

it’s ok to disappear for a lil while and get your shit together.

Okay so my fave headcanon ever is trans guy Frank Zhang, and his grandmother and all of his friends are very supportive and! yeah that's it I just love trans Frank

I ALSO LOVE TRANS FRANK!!! our big handsome sweetheart…. he’s not very secretive about it, doesnt see the need to at camp jupiter. he wears cute trans flag buttons if he can and, before deciding apollo was his father (ding dong you are wrong) be briefly considered bacchus, as bacchus/dionysus was/is the god of transgender people. he brushes it off as a silly thought and, upon meeting dakota, is even more certain that, yes, obviously my father is apollo (honey you got a big storm comin)

dakota is a good friend, however, and a good resource. grandmother had been accepting, in her own way, and he was grateful for it, but frank was still under-informed, seeing as grandmother is an old lady who isnt well informed either. dakota is trans as well, genderfluid, if frank remembers correctly, amab and feminine-presenting, but knows a lot about transmasc stuff as well. they help each other, support each other, and frank is glad to have a friend like him. he meets jason, too, who occasionally asks him or dakota to paint his nails before hurriedly chipping it off so others dont see.

then he meets hazel, who is so happy to be able to grow out her hair into long honey-colored curls. she gets to try make up for the first time, cries a little when dakota, frank, and… whats his name, the brother - nico, when they help her into her first dress. nico shooshes her, says she looks very pretty, even makes a sarcastic comment that sounds like an endearment about having to beat boys off of his sister (and he says that word, sister, which makes her smile that blinding smile). nico doesnt stay often, but the way he hunches his shoulders and forces his voice deeper makes frank wonder.

“is it… a demigod thing? do gods just not do gender that way?” frank thinks to himself sometimes. “or is it a… like attracts like sort of thing?”

poor frank never finds the answer for certain, but hes the praetor of new rome now, so he doesnt mind. B) aldka sorry if i answered this late! i only just saw it for some reason? but trans frank is my life, my livelihood. yes please. - mod will
