✿ About Me

Hey, I’m Scylla. Yes, that’s a real name. I’m 15, a Leo, non-binary (they/them), and spiritually vibing with Hermes most of the time. I’m not great at talking about myself without sounding like a Tumblr moodboard from 2011, but I’ll try. I like plants, gods, art, and people who don’t suck.

I live with my parents above their restaurant, which smells like curry and old wood and sometimes burnt toast. I do henna in the garden, collect dead butterflies, and try to make tea taste like emotions. Sometimes the voice (the author? maybe?) talks to me when I'm high or just... feeling weird. Everyone says I'm schizo. I say maybe I’m just in tune.

✿ Likes & Dislikes

I like:

Greek mythology (Team Hermes)
Rituals with candles and too many feathers
Watercolour art that never fully dries
Henna & ink stains on my fingers
Bollywood music that makes me cry for no reason
Tea, especially if it’s herbal and unlabelled
Plants that grow from nothing
Thrift finds that look cursed but cute

I dislike:

People who think they’re better than others
Anyone rushing me
Plastic that smells like new shoes
Cold, grey days that feel like nothing
Unwashed energy
Fake authority and real racism

✿ Currently…

Listening to: a mix of sitar, folk rock, and obscure protest songs
Reading: a zine Maria gave me called My Ex Is a Capricorn
Worrying about: environmental collapse + the political future
Manifesting: better days + blooming things
Making: little charms from broken bracelets

✿ Friend Files

👁 Maria — loud in a hurricane kind of way. Trouble hidden under glitter. Still cooks vegan for me even though she doesn’t get it. I love that.
👁 Carter — thinks he’s tough, acts like he’s allergic to feelings, definitely not straight. Keeps saying my mom’s hot (stop it). Heart’s bigger than he lets on.
👁 Samuel — quiet and a little tragic. Knows things. I worry about his future a lot. Sometimes the voice does too.
👁 Marcus — probably hates all of us. Probably scared of love. Needs a hug (he would punch me for saying this).

🏛️ Greek Mythology Section

✧ Digital Shrine to the Gods

✧ My Patron is Hermes

“Dear Hermes, Messenger of gods, patron of travelers, bringer of chaos and shiny things— I think you’re listening, but also maybe not. And that’s fine. You’ve got, like, Olympus WiFi or something.”

Sometimes I leave you honey or coins, and yeah, maybe my mom threw out the last offering plate because it “attracted ants” but I meant well. You know that.

You’re the reason I started collecting weird keys and coins and little lost things. Sometimes I find stuff on the street and I’m like, “Hermes left this for me,” and I take it. Is that stealing? You’d probably say yes and still be proud.

Sometimes I think I hear you. Not like, thunder voice in the sky, more like a feeling. Like you tap my shoulder when I take the long way home. Or hide messages in the way light hits water.

Anyway. I don’t have a real prayer, so here’s this:

🕊️ Things I Ask You For

Little signs when I don’t know what to do
Luck when the vending machine eats my money
Protection when I wear something weird and go outside
Guidance on whether to dye my hair green again
Chaos. But like, the good kind.

“If you read this, send me a moth. Or a very smooth pebble. Or let me win an argument with Carter.”

Until then… I’ll keep leaving you flowers and secrets.

✧ Gods I Respect (but don’t fully vibe with)

“These gods are cool, powerful, sometimes even gorgeous… but we’re just not on the same wave. Still, mad respect. They’d win in a fight (and I’d let them).”

Apollo

Too perfect. Like, annoyingly so. Wakes up at 5am to play harp in the sun and write five poems before breakfast. I appreciate the music, but I would probably hide behind a plant if he walked into the room. He’s like a golden retriever but… sharp?

Artemis

She gives ✨ancient forest lesbian✨. Scares me in the best way. I think she’d stare at me and I’d start apologizing for things I didn’t do. Love her outfits. She’s a protector, and I respect that. But I’d 100% die trying to make her laugh and failing.

Hestia

She is the warm bread of gods. The hearth, the chill, the quiet strength. I don’t deserve her. No one deserves her. I want her to pat my head and tell me I’m doing okay. 10/10 would cry in her lap.

Dionysus

Okay, so… yes. Obviously. Wine, madness, gender, drama? Sounds like me. But he’s the kinda chaotic that you don’t survive. The kind where you wake up with three tattoos and a curse. I admire him from a distance. Like, “wave at the volcano from a safe zone” vibes.

Athena

If she taught my class I’d be so scared to breathe wrong. But also she’d grade me fairly and write “Promising but too emotional” on my report. I like her vibes when she’s in war mode, less when she’s in “sit still and be logical” mode. We would argue constantly but I think she’d secretly respect me.

Persephone

She IS duality. Queen of the Underworld, flower crown and iron throne. We don’t talk much, but I leave her roses sometimes. She’s got deep grief eyes. I think she’d see through me instantly. That’s terrifying.

✧ Myth Retellings (Scylla-core Edition)

📜 The Odyssey (Scylla-core version)

“13-year-old me read this and never came back. I think about Odysseus more than I think about my own teeth.”

Okay so listen. Odysseus leaves home to fight in the Trojan War, right? He's gone for 10 years just for that, but THEN it takes him another 10 years to get home because the man has the worst luck, zero impulse control, and a face the gods love to mess with.

Key moments:

Trojan War aftermath: Instead of sailing straight home like a normal guy, he’s like “lemme offend Poseidon real quick” and that’s where the fun begins.
Polyphemus (the Cyclops): He stabs the dude in the eye and then BRAGS about it. Like: “Tell ‘em Odysseus did this!!” Bro.
Circe: Turns his men into pigs. Scylla (me, not the sea monster) kinda vibes with her.
Sirens: He literally ties himself to the mast so he can hear their song and not jump overboard. Drama queen.
The Actual Scylla (Not Me): Eats six of his men. He doesn’t even stop the boat. Just vibes past. Rude tbh.
The Underworld: Emotional damage speedrun.
Penelope: Holding it down at home for 20 YEARS, fending off annoying suitors and weaving-unweaving a shroud. She deserves a trophy and a vacation.

Anyway, he finally gets home, murders the freeloaders, hugs his wife, and somehow gets forgiven. The end.

What I love about it:

It’s messy. It’s weird. It’s full of gods ruining lives and people crying in boats. It's literally just ADHD guy tries to go home and keeps getting sidetracked. Mood.

🐢 Hermes and the Baby Chaos (aka That One Time He Stole Cows)

“This is why Hermes is my divine soulmate.”

So Hermes is born — like just born — and immediately decides to cause problems. While his mom’s still recovering, he crawls out of the cave, finds Apollo’s sacred cows, steals them, walks them backwards to confuse the trail (??), and hides them.

Then he invents the lyre from a turtle shell, as one does.

Apollo shows up like “Where are my cows?” and Hermes, literal newborn, goes “Cows? Never heard of her.” With a straight face.

Eventually he gives Apollo the lyre to make up for it, and Apollo’s like “...okay that slaps actually.” They become besties. Zeus is just like “lol kids, right?”

Moral of the story:

Hermes is chaos and charm in one (1) god-shaped package. He doesn’t care about the rules, but he’ll write you a love poem after breaking them. Also he invented both lies and music. Legend.

✿ Fun Stuff

🫖 Scylla’s Tea Leaf Readings
💎 WTF Is This Crystal?

Amethyst

For gay dreams and good naps. Also blocks psychic attacks (and texts from Carter at 2am).

Rose Quartz

Self-love rock. Cry into it. Hug it. Pretend it’s hot. It won’t judge you.

Citrine

Money magnet. Also chaos magnet. Use responsibly (or don’t).

Black Tourmaline

The “back off” crystal. Grounding, protective, sexy in a goth way.

Clear Quartz

Does everything. Literally. Just like duct tape but shiny and spiritual.

Carnelian

Gives hot girl energy and courage. Also helps when you’ve accidentally summoned a demon.

Labradorite

Mystical AF. Makes you feel like an interdimensional sorcerer. Also rainbow-y.

Moonstone

Soft girl feelings and divine feminine rage. Works better if you scream into the moon.

Selenite

Cleanses everything except your browser history. Do not put in water unless you hate it.

Obsidian

Sharp. Dark. Dramatic. Holds generational trauma but make it ✨aesthetic✨.

Fluorite

Focus crystal. ADHD who? (Still you, but now with vibes.)

Hematite

Grounds you so hard it could probably pull your soul back into your body.

Lapis Lazuli

Ancient Egyptian royalty used this. Good for throat chakra and lying elegantly.

Malachite

Big “destroy and rebuild” energy. Use when it’s time to burn it all down (emotionally).

Green Aventurine

Lucky rock. Will not help you pass math but might get you a free smoothie.

Rhodonite

Breakup crystal. Helps you not text your ex or spiral while listening to sad girl indie.

Smoky Quartz

Makes your anxiety shut up. Or at least vape and leave you alone for a bit.

Tiger’s Eye

Confidence. Power. Slightly dad energy. Makes you want to confront the school principal.

Angelite

Talk to angels, or like, maybe just hear weird thoughts from The Voice again.

Chrysocolla

Pretty blue. Feels like drinking tea under a tree while forgiving your enemies (but still hexing them).
🌼 Plant of the Month
Chamomile

Latin Name: Matricaria chamomilla

Vibe: Sleepy comfort, protective energy, floral rage in disguise

“Everyone thinks chamomile is this cute calming tea bitch, but did you know she’s also been used in death spells? Duality, babes. Also helps your gut when you eat too much bread (not that I ever would…).”

Use in Ritual:
- Sprinkle it in your bath to stop spiraling
- Leave it by your window to attract dreams
- Put it in Marcus’s locker. Just because.
