The fates: CURSED THOUGHT

Persephone: No walls! Just meta jokes

Eurydice: I feel like a deflated grape fruit

Hades: well a trip to the Underworld would be better than just going to the same place again.

Orpheus: Why is everyone so obsessed with who's a top and who's a bottom? I'd be happy just to own a bunk bed.

Eurydice: ...

Hades: ...

Persephone: ...

Hermes: ...

Hades: I'm gonna tell him.

Everyone: DON'T YOU DARE.

Talk to your house

Your house is a sentient being with it’s own spirit and soul. Some people identify this spirit as their household deities or friendly house spirits. But some people have altogether forgotten how important the spirit of their house is. Talk to your house. Houses that have been ignored tend to be dull, tired and susceptible to hauntings and negative energies.  So talk to your house, listen to its aches and pains, say hello. Tell it that you come in peace, tell it that you are there to listen to it speak. Be grateful to your house. And watch the energies of your home transform themselves into joy.
