artemis artemis pulls the string of her bow- the feeling all to familiar- ready to let loose the arrow trained on the poor animal in front of her. she sighs and lowers her weapon. what’s the point? where was the drive that pushed her so strongly? it certainly wasn’t here. not today. 

dionysus another day another party. better practice that smile- it’s starting to appear worn and tired. another day another glass. he drinks himself into a hole in the dark and swears he’ll never emerge again. he used to drink to feel the spark of life, to amplify the laughter. now dionysus drinks to forget.

persephone a dying poppy crunches beneath persephone’s feet. any other time she would have exclaimed in horror and bent to give it life once again. but now she turns and lends it her blank stare. life these days is only riddled with disease and worry. what’s the point? hades is all she has, and she will cling to him for eternity, letting the darkness win her over.

aphrodite she doesn’t see the pleasure in love anymore. too many cheap endings, too many hearts broken. aphrodite doesn’t come out much anymore, people don’t like to be reminded that she exists. she used to be a reminder of happy days. now she’s a reminder of the emptiness left in the wake of those happy days. for one reason or another, love has left aphrodite’s touch.

athena what’s the point in being wise? athena squanders her wisdom and trades it in for impulse. she is trying to to buy back lost time. time spent being ‘wise’, time spent ‘discerning’. she wonders if maybe- just maybe- if she could go back and just make a split decision- then maybe she could change the events that unfolded. change what was. what had been. so the she trades rationality for rash behavior. a loss indeed.

Aries x Virgo: This couple can probably low-key rule the world because they bring out the best in each. Such as determination and overall intelligence. Outside people probably think they hate each other because of all the sarcastic comments. This is the couple that constantly has to one up the other. Aries is VERY protective over Virgo. When they are alone you can find them on the rooftop cuddling while watching the stars.

Taurus x Sagittarius: This is the couple that is traveling the world together and enjoying the sights and tastes. Taurus is the one writing about the adventurous while Sagittarius is the one taking photos. These signs benefit from each other because Sagittarius helps Taurus out of their comfort zone, while Taurus helps Sagittarius be less reckless.When they are alone you can find them outside exploring.

Gemini x Scorpio: This couple you can sense from a mile away. Some might call this toxic love. Each desperately wanting each other yet not knowing if they are trustworthy. They both crave security,which they can give each other. Gemini is the one that does the talking in the relationship, while Scorpio makes the decisions. When they are alone you can find them lying on the bed telling each other their secrets and dreams.

Cancer x Aquarius: This couple wants to better the world together. They benefit from each other by becoming emotionally strong together. Aquarius might not seem like they care but they care so much, and will always be there for Cancer. This is the type of couple that doesn’t need to speak to one another but to just look and know. When they are alone they listen to music and slow dance.

Leo x Pisces: This is the type of couple you see walking around holding hands, and then having tickle fights. You can see that they love each other because of the way they look at their partner. They would do anything in order to make the other happy. Leo is VERY protective over Pisces. When they are alone you can find them building a pillow fort only to destroy it in a massive pillow war.
