Happy New Year 🎆

Thank you to all my lovely fandom friends and followers who have made the last year amazing 💕

I’m very grateful to all of your love and support which have made me smile like an idiot countless times in public transport.

I hope in 2019 everything works out to y’all and that you get to share the best moments of your life this year with your most beloved ones.

I wish I could contribute more to the Kingsman fandom other than the occasional ficlets and head canons, which is why I will let that be a goal for this new year (finishing wips, prompts, starting new AUs I have planned for a while now).

Stay healthy, positive, and happy, even when life gets in the way and makes it hard to, sometimes.

@harrypotternetwork’s Create Your School Event

By: Vivian @pumpkinjily & Rose @pumpkinspicepomfrey

Name: Aneropos - Variation of Anapos (Water god of Eastern Sicily) and Nero (meaning “water” in greek)

Location: Underwater Eastern Sicily

School: An underwater dome complete with a neighboring town with shops and housing

Logo:

Students: Living on islands - Pantelleria - Lipari - Ustica - Vulcano Exchange students from other schools Italian

Motto: “σφουγγαρίστε το σφουγγάρι σβήνουν τη σάλια” (I would like to point out that it was going to be “this is motherfuckin’ seahorseland”)

Mascot: Seahorses

Uniform: All uniforms include a black robe with a collar, cuffs, and a school logo coloured depending on their house, and a shell necklace Ex. Pygmy

Houses: (Named after seahorse breeds) Pygmy Traits: resourceful, inventive, determined Logo: coral gradient shell

Leafy Traits: sensitive, curious, nurturing Logo: green gradient shell

Kuda Traits: outgoing, leader, devoted Logo: yellow gradient shell

Cape Traits: spontaneous, prideful, adventurous Logo: purple gradient shell

Dorms: - Common room connects all 4 dorms together, which is where all houses can meet in the lounge and be together in unison - Entrance to each dorm requires their specific house necklace - Each house tower is painted with their official colour - All dorm rooms include 4 beds, complete with a loft and a seating area - 6 floors per tower

At the age of 10, each student gets sorted into their houses where they receive a wand and a shell necklace, which corresponds with the colour of their house. Each necklace allows the students to breathe underwater (bubble charm) in case they are ever in a situation. If a dangerous creature happens to be lurking near, the seashell will detect it and start making a slight beeping sound as well as turning white to warn the student to return back to school.

History:

Anapos, the god of water, always stood up for what he believed in, one of these things just happened to be not kidnapping young nymphs. Hades disagreed. Because of this disagreement Anapos unfortunately lost his life as a god, and was transformed into a river for opposing Hades. Anapos did not let this get him down, instead he chose to try to stay positive. He devoted his days to trying to learn how to unriver himself, however, this was rather difficult seeing as Anapos was now just a body of water. Luckily for him, his charm and charisma made the creatures of the sea, particularly the merpeople and seahorse community, like him. Together the merpeople and seahorses worked to bring young witch and wizards to the mediterranean sea to see if the brilliant young minds could help unriver their dearest friend. The Aneropos school was founded in the deep waters near Sicily and eventually the students were able to unriver Anapos. Nerma Splurk, a mermaid who stood by Anapos’ side, has since been named headmistress of Aneropos School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. The school stands today for equality and fights to do the right thing, most notably during the second muggle war when witches and wizards were welcomed into the school to escape the violence and brutality of the muggles.

Thinking about. how I write both Meg and Nyx as the less traditional-looking partner in a polycule and ways in which they’re similar and different in that regard. Disclaimer: this is 100% about how I write this subject and is not to be taken as prescriptive.

Both Hades/Persephone and Thanatos/Zagreus are first and foremost romantic in nature, and in my working canon these are the relationships that turn into official, on-record marriages, while Nyx/Persephone and Megaera/Zagreus are—let us say off the books. They are not thereby lesser relationships—this is important. They’re just not as front-facing. And I think that Nyx and Megaera are both comfortable this way, but in slightly different ways that I’m trying to articulate here.

They are both, in my opinion, on the aromantic spectrum, and moreover on the asexual spectrum. But, again, in different ways. Nyx I characterize this way simply because she came into existence before romance and sex existed. She’s not a being whose heart and body have those kinds of desires built in, although they may be elicited situationally. Meg, on the other hand, I write as romance-repulsed—uncomfortable at the idea of romantic entanglements touching on her, at being asked to respond in ways that don’t come naturally to her. And this may have to do with the kind of being she is, or maybe it’s just who she is as a person. The “source” is less clear-cut in her case, and is less a factor in how she understands herself. Moreover, I write her as uninterested in sex unless there’s kink involved to the point of calling her gray-ace. This is not something I can or will back up with text; it’s just how I like to write her.

So in these ways, Nyx/Persephone and Megaera/Zagreus don’t resemble amatonormative relationships in the same way that Hades/Persephone and Thanatos/Zagreus do. But what I’m thinking about is how Nyx and Megaera, respectively, frame their importance to their partners. I’m struggling to put vibes into words here, but—

Nyx/Persephone is—inasmuch as I feel comfortable using the term without a full and felt familiarity with it—a queerplatonic relationship. It is underlain by a strong emotional connection in the same way that Hades’ relationship with Persephone is, but rather than that connection being a romantic one, it's something other than that. So, for this reason, I think it feels injurious to Nyx to think that her relationship with Persephone might be considered less worthy or real than Hades’. Of course this polycule has additional considerations of politics, and I don't think that Nyx wants to be Queen of the Underworld to Persephone's Queen any more than she wants to be so to Hades' Lord of the Underworld. It is more deeply felt than that, and unconnected to it, and special for its unconnectedness given how closely twined Nyx is with the realm.

If the foundation of Hades/Persephone and Thanatos/Zagreus is romantic, and of Nyx/Persephone is emotional, then the foundation of Megaera/Zagreus is absolutely sexual(/kink). I will say a thousand times, to anyone close enough to hear, that this doesn't mean that they're only interested in each other on a physical level—simply that their first connection happened on a sexual level and further connection grew out of that. Meg feels, I think—in part due to her responsibility to stop Zagreus from escaping the Underworld, but also because of her romance repulsion—that she would rather her relationship with him go publicly unrecognized unless it can be accurately perceived.

I think what I'm feeling—what I'm trying to put into words—is that Nyx feels that her relationship with Persephone should be considered of the same class as Hades', despite its different foundation, while Megaera considers her relationship with Zagreus to be of a different class than Thanatos's. In each case, however, the relationship is equal in significance and weight.

not to go all marauders era here but I kinda want to know everything about how hades and persephone and nyx fit together

today I am imagining a pre-canon relationship in which each of the three think the other two have a better-established basis for interaction:

persephone, late to the game, uncomfortable in the dark, and lacking an explicitly fate-given responsibility in the underworld; nyx, seeing the surface-born hades and persephone fall in love and get married, stepping back in deference to that; hades, watching an easy friendship develop between persephone and nyx and being baffled at how easily it comes to them

(by the time persephone’s back, zag has brow-beaten the entire underworld into trying out this hot new fad called “communicating how one feels” so there’s less angst in the present but I want to imagine the angst of the past)
