I was pouring a promised libation out to Hermes, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Dionysus this afternoon (I'd asked them for help with a personal matter involving a sibling) and as I was looking up at the sky talking about the situation I saw three hawks start to circle something a little ways in the distance. Hawks aren't exactly uncommon here but it had been a while since I'd seen any, let alone three at once, so it caught my attention.
And while I was trying to figure out what type of bird they were (not an eagle, too short a neck to be a vulture, etc) one of them swooped down into a neighbor's backyard and back up along the tree in my backyard, close enough that, if a branch weren't in the way, I would have been able to see its feather markings. While hawks were somewhat usual, experiencing that certainly was not. So, of course, when I got inside I looked up if any Greek gods are associated with hawks.
And, of course, Apollo is.
I've been thinking a lot about the difference between "this is just a Thing That Happens" and a sign so it was nice to see a direct example of how something differs when it's coming from a god.

My friend accidentally dragged me into another fandom
I suspect mind control may be at play. You might think Mind Control isn’t real; but you only think that because it’s what mind controllers want you to think.
They barely mention it in a conversation, and suddenly I have the urge to consume dozens of fanfics? The urge to procrastinate on all my projects in order to read the fics? The urge to ignore my homework?
I’ve never done such a thing in my life (ignore all evidence to the contrary). Clearly mind control is at play.
Anyway, I’ve read quite a few Percy Jackson fanfics, and now have a few bubbling in my drafts.
Maybe I’ll actually write some fanfic? Actually finish a piece of work? Hahahhhhaa

Coworker comes into the staffroom on my 15 and then turns her phone on speaker, stands by the door, closes the door, leans on the door, talks loudly annoyed to the robot receptionist on the phone.
I must have been blistering my vehemence because she left after a minute with a friendly laugh ("what can you do about these robots"), but I was about to rip my face off in front of her.
