besties idc if we're not in the same fandom / verse / our muses would never canonically know each other, we can and WILL make it work and i'll make whatever verse for em!!! please interact with my island girly!!!

[paradisesmiled]

modern emmeline wears a lot of shell jewelry, either ribbons in her hair or hibiscus flowers she'll see and pick up, a lot of white or pale yellow, lacy textures and soft pastel floral prints. she wears kitten heeled sandals, white or cream mini skirts and she loves!!! pearl necklaces and earrings. her style could be described as romantic island girl, or a mix of coquette and coconut girl according to today's aesthetics.

emmeline in ‘The Blue Lagoon’ , 1980

[xylatra]

“The moon rose up that evening and shot her silver arrows at the house under the artu tree. The house was empty. Then the moon came across the sea and across the reef. She lit the lagoon to it’s dark, dim heart. She lit the coral brains and sand spaces, and the fish casting their shadows on the sand and the coral. The keeper of the lagoon rose to greet her, and the fin of him broke her reflection on the mirror-like surface into a thousand glittering ripples. She saw the white staring ribs of the form on the reef. Then, peeping over the trees, she looked down into the valley, where the great stone idol had kept it’s solitary vigil for five thousand years, perhaps, and more. At this base, in his shadow, looking as if under his protection, lay two human beings, naked, clasped in each other’s arms and fast asleep. One could scarcely pity his vigil, had it been marked sometimes through the years by such an incident as this. The thing had been conducted just as the birds conduct their love affairs. An affair absolutely natural, absolutely blameless and without sin. A marriage according to Nature, without feasts or guests, consummated with accidental cynicism under the shadow of a religion a thousand years dead.”

— Henry de Vere Stacpoole, The Blue Lagoon.
