Like Earthly celebrities, the gods are also prone to receiving letters from fellow starlings. These can range from fan mail, hate mail, suggestions and even complaints. Of course, the gods aren’t compelled to write back unless it involves a serious matter, but some do reply to fan and hate mail.

Dear [name has been redacted for privacy reasons],

I don’t remember you from when I was still attending school like you claimed in your letter. I double-checked and apparently, you’re in your third year so that checks out I guess.

Let me just start off by saying that I am very…gratified…to receive your letter last month…no one’s ever sent me something like that before…but I would appreciate it if you never send such letters ever again.

Well, I guess you can tell by the way I use my walk that I'm a woman's man. I’ve got no time to talk. Maybe when I was younger, I would’ve taken you up on that offer — music loud and women warm, down at a club where no one would bother us. We would feel the city breaking and everybody shaking, but we wouldn’t care, just staying alive to see the sunrise.

But now’s different. I'm a certain woman's man and have no time for other women looking to crawl into my bed. I’m in a happy, stable relationship.

Now, in the next part of your letter, you mentioned about the boys in your level. I have been checking in with Principal Aquila and even visiting the school myself. And she has said a lot of things about you. Plus my last visit only confirmed my suspicions. I’m not going to embarrass you by listing everything I heard here but I just want you to know that it’s not too late to change for the better.

You want more boys falling over their feet for you? The answer is simple. You’ve got to change from the inside first. No boy would want even the most beautiful of girls if their personality is rotten to the core.

Stop bringing your friends down and doing things to try and look cool. You’ll only make not only the boys, but also the girls run away faster.

I hope this helps :)

Regards,
Leo

Ps. You’re young and sometimes impulses can be hard to ignore, but you’ve got to look at the bigger picture. And lying isn’t exactly a good look on you. Just so you know, men don’t like desperate girls and your letter reeks of nothing but desperation and the raging hormones of a maturing starling. Keep this up and I, unfortunately, might have to have a chat with your parents which I’m sure you wouldn’t want.

This letter is from Leo to a fellow starling who had sent him an inappropriate fan mail. Sometimes starlings don’t understand that gods are just like us too, and have their own boundaries. For more information on fan mail guidelines, you can check out A Fan’s Handbook by Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon.

And for those who are wondering, the woman that Leo mentioned he was with is actually Aquarius ;)
