Differnt anon but i love the swimsuit top falling off imagine, can we see it with Cater, Vil, Rook, Malleus and Lilia please?

Cater Diamond:

Cater had been mid beach selfie, striking a cute pose when he heard your cry of shock. His head whipped around and he became pink up to his ears, whipping his head the other way just to meet the prying eyes of others on the beach. He’s struggling to come up with a plan but finally points in a direction and gasps, yelling out a random influencers name and hoping their follower count was legit enough that they’d be known by the general public. It worked well enough that you were no longer the center of attention, an excited crowd forming and looking for the rare celebrity sighting while Cater rushed over to you. The crisis had been averted as you found your top, mumbling you’d just be lounging on the blanket the rest of the time. Later, when he’s sorting through his photos, he’s reminded of the moment as he caught the exact moment your top fell off, his face growing red as he hurriedly deleted the picture.

Lilia Vanrouge:

Lilia is no stranger to accidental nudity, these old eyes have seen some things in his many years on this planet, and it doesn’t leave him feeling any specific type of way. He can see that you don’t share the philosophy of ‘oh well’ when something embarrassing happens and does his best to save you, summoning a sudden wave that crashes onto shore and almost washes away some of the beach gear the gawkers had left unattended while ogling. He walked up to you with your top in hand, humming as he did; he held up a towel to cover you while you put your top back on, chuckling as he commented he knew the day would be interesting when you asked to spend it together.

Malleus Draconia:

The storm clouds that appear just as you’re kneeling on the ground, desperately searching for your top before others start pointing you out, was a blessing in disguise. Most beach-goers are too shocked by the sudden change of weather to pay you any mind and it leaves you with plenty of time to find your top, which Malleus casually stepped over to help you with. You feel embarrassed again because a prince of all people was witnessing you in such a state, but Malleus paid it no mind, seeming more protective than judgmental in the moment. You don’t catch any hint that he was the cause behind the storm, the clouds clearing away as he helped you tie your top back on and asked if you were ready to continue your stroll in a more secluded place along the beach.

Rook Hunt:

Rook had seen the unraveling as it begun, but you had not heeded his warnings of the top not being tied securely as every time you tugged it seemed to stay in place. He kept a diligent eye on you, not like there was anything else as striking as you on this beach regardless, but he does find himself failing in his duty when you point out a group of dolphins frolicking close to shore. When he hears your gasp he already knew what happened, his brain calculating in mere seconds that the disastrous future he had predicted had come to be. With a swift movement he removes the towel from your bag he’d been carrying, holding it over your chest and requesting just a moment to allow him to find the harbinger of chaos that was your swimsuit top.

Vil Schoenheit:

This was the issue with fashion these days. There was no practicality even in swimsuits, and while Vil lacked a real opinion on most beach outfits, he found yours seemed flimsier than most. It wasn’t quite a warning but he was unsurprised to see the top had pulled loose and left you in the middle of the beach, covering your chest and frantically looking around for your top before your humiliation limit was reached. He knew you’d rather be buried in the sand but he snapped his fingers to draw your attention, telling you to stay calm as it would attract less attention that way. He walked around you and finally found it half-buried in the sand, scolding you as your panic had nearly buried the only thing that would stop the staring. He suggested a nice cover-up next time, just to have a back-up plan should a swimsuit fail you again.

A devotional post for Lady Aphrodite Chrysea.

O sweet Lady Aphrodite,

Foam-Born Goddess of velvety waves,

She as golden as the apple of Paris,

Upon the shimmering water, I see your dancing form,

In the brilliant evening sun I see your golden smile,

Amongst the frolicking dolphins, I see your joy,

I praise you in all names, sweet Goddess

[maculategiraffe]

sometimes I will be watching or reading something and I am not sure where it is going. not plotwise but like... what is meant by this. what worldview is informing this. am I feeling weird right now because the creator wants me to feel weird and is doing a good job or because the creator wants me to feel some other way and is doing a bad job. you know?

and then sometimes there will be a line or a moment when it crystallizes and I'm like OH I get it now! okay no this is actually awesome! I will settle in and appreciate it! like a magic eye click. like OH now I see the dolphin. and all the little frolicking fishes and the coral reef! nice!

most recently last night when I was watching bodies bodies bodies and sophie said "okay not to be mean but she wasn't THAT good in hedda gabler"

APHRODITE

“Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all that the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Cytherea."   (-Homeric Hymn, translated by H.G. Evelyn white)

APHRODITE (a-fruh-DIE-tee) (Roman- Venus); The goddess of love, pleasure, and fertility, was born from Ouranus' severed penis which was cast down into the sea by his son, the titan Cronus, and the resulting sea spray. While in some versions she is the daughter of Zeus and a sea nymph name Dione. 

She reclines upon a swan (early depictions in ancient Greek art show her riding a swan, a symbol of grace and divinity) and underneath is the commonly portrayed scallop shell. Aphrodite holds her sacred golden Apple of Discord, won by Paris choosing her in the beauty contest between her, Athena, and Hera. Upon her waist sits a golden chastity belt, said to invoke lust in gods and mortals alike. 

Aphrodite had a lively entourage. Resting upon her arm, is Eros, the winged godling and her companion, (later becoming cupid in roman culture) who whispers sweet sensualities, while a couple Erotes(more winged godlings associated with sex and love) flitter above tossing flower petals. Frolicking at the lower left are three goddesses, the Charites(or Graces) who symbolize beauty, dancing, and banquets. Swimming atop the dolphin is a Nereid, a reference to Aphrodite's oceanic roots. and finally, above right, near the waterfall, are three more goddesses, the Horai, who represent the seasonal shifts and constellations. 

But the goddess of love has a dark side, like when she punishes arcadian princess Atalanta and her lover Hippomenes for neglecting to honor the goddess. The Spartans worshipped an armored, warlike variation of the goddess; Aphrodite of Areia.

Hot take you guys are getting too invested in the FANDOM of this show

Take it as seriously or unseriously as you want like the characters you want ship what you want live and let live peace and love on planet earth and whatnot.

but sending death threats to an artist over how they draw a character is abhorrent behaviour and I bet almost all of you are old enough to know better and if you aren’t you shouldn’t be here that is a real person sending death threats to ANYONE for ANY reason makes you scum and I shouldn’t have to explain that.

Also none of these takes matter in the end you will live and probably forget about them in due time so instead of seething maybe go outside, get some fresh air, maybe touch grass and smile at your neighbor :D

(Can’t send photos on anon but imagine a Lisa frank poster here with a bunch of dolphins and rainbows

We should all go frolicking in a field somewhere

sharing real quick a little poem i made for the Free! Day of the @nanaseharukabirthdayexchange (with a translation under the cut)

AVANZANDO

El delfín va nadando

a un futuro brillante.

En nuevos horizontes retozando,

bello cuál pájaro errante.

Agua viva y un equipo inquebrantable.

El no nada sólo, lazos insondables.

Gota que...

cae.

Haz que tú pasión vibre.

Sigue avanzando, delfín.

Sigue siendo libre.

MOVING FORWARD

The dolphin is swimming

to a bright future

In new horizons frolicking,

beautiful like a wandering bird

Living water and an unbreakable team.

He's not swim alone, unfathomable ties

Falling...

drop

Make your passion vibrate

Keep moving forward, dolphin.

Keep being free!

[jarnt8]

Overcome with feelings of body horror looking at dolphins and thinking they should be frolicking in a meadow, sniffing dry leaves and rolling around in the mud but instead they are trapped in a dim watery cold world in strange alien rubbery fish bodies

So shall it be, and you will say that you know everything about Achilles. I have heard the following about him. An apparition of a daimon of the sea used to visit Peleus. Because she loved him, the daimon had intercourse with Peleus, although out of shame for the crowd she did not yet speak about herself, not even from where she came. When the sea was calm, she happened to be frolicking seated upon dolphins and sea horses, while he, looking at these things from the summit of Mount Pelion, became aware of the goddess and feared her approach. But she made Peleus courageous by reminding him how Eos loved Tithonos, how Aphrodite was in love with Anchises, and how Selene habitually visited the sleeping Endymion. "Peleus," she said, "I shall even give to you a child mightier than a mortal." When Achilles was born, they made Kheiron his foster-father. He fed him honeycombs and the marrow of fawns.

-Heroica, 729-730.

(I like that in at least one version Peleus and Thetis’ relationship wasn’t terrible)

Wait this is kinda sweet, tho I haven’t heard of this Heroica before and I can’t seem to find it… do you mean Heroides?

California beach day for Chrissy and Billy. He teaches her how to surf and shows her the tide pools filled with small crabs and sea urchins. They build a sandcastle together and decorate it with shells that they found on the shore. As the sun begins to set, they see a pod of dolphins jumping out from the water. Billy remembers seeing them when he was just a kid, wondering if he could be as free as them. Chrissy had only seen pictures of dolphins in books, to see them frolicking like that makes her smile. Billy holds her hand, she rests her head on his chest. They stare out at the endless oceans, watching the mammals shrink as they swim towards the horizon. The two of them stare into each others eyes, sharing a beautiful kiss as the last sliver of light fades away.

I have a job that I have amply demonstrated can be done 95-100% remotely but I've been forced back in the office 2 days a week with everyone else "to develop camaraderie" *eyeroll*. It's a stupid and pointless order from the head honcho who, it should be noted, never seems to be in the office herself. But at least I have a commute with million dollar views. This morning I saw a pod of dolphins frolicking in the surf! That ought to get me through the day.

[rogzeeyaya]

Crazy that after like 10 months of the worst depression I've experienced in my life everything suddenly feels like that happy frolicking dolphin image
