#lady of the sea

[chicky-dip]

Day 6 was rain - in which the Lady of the Sea would love to bask in the rain.

[magdalene-spirit]

It is to the goddesses of blood & sea we turn to bring love to humanity-

She emerged from the primordial cosmic Sea, bringing the possibility of divine love to the realm of flesh & blood-Divine love descends into the body & world through us,

NOT we escape the body & blood to reach divine love- is the message of Goddess.

they included corlys offering baela driftmark and baela being like "no i do not want it" specifically to shut us up about how the girls are being done dirty but it didn't work because why on earth would baela not then be like "but you know who does? my sister rhaena who i love and want to be happy who feels sidelined and was being prepared to rule driftmark alongside luke for years" so now i'm just mad at baela AND corlys on rhaena's behalf

you were created out of sand from the palm of aphrodites hand. she formed your body, your soul, your life out of bits of the sea & shells. every curve, every hip dip, every dimple, & every freckle she placed upon you for the goal to show beauty in various ways. the back rolls you loathe every time you look in the mirror was once a pebble from the ocean that aphrodite saw beauty in. the mole on your cheek was once a grain of sand aphrodite walked in. you were made with honor honey, you were made with a purpose from blessed lady aphrodite. do not be harsh on yourself. love yourself, treat yourself as a sanctuary. so mote it be

Hear me out. Siren with a deaf partner that takes them on hunts with other sirens because they know they won’t be hurt by the song

Oh I am definitely hearing you!! That is such a lovely idea!!

Imagine Siren lulls their partner in at first with their song. Seeing how beautiful they are and wanting to add them to their collection of lost souls. But when the person doesn’t react, the Siren is only more intrigued! Not being able to stop their curiosity, they go up to the shore. Completely forgetting to be cautious about this strange human. They’re astonished when they find a person unable to hear. They want to know everything. About them and about how they’re unable to hear.

They’re completely fascinated by them. In awe at the way they move about and look at the world around them. It doesn’t take much for them to fall in love with them, being as wonderful as they are. In return, they want them to know everything about sirens as well. So they start taking them everywhere and showing this human what they do.

It takes a bit to get used to but the human loves their siren and they know it’s completely genuine. Similar to the siren they can’t help but be curious though. I’d imagine the human would ask to feel their throat. Wanting to know what it feels like to hear the siren sing. The siren is worried if it’ll have the same affect as hearing it would but their love drives them to do it anyway.

And while the feeling of the siren’s voice does cause the human’s love to grow deeper, it’s due not to magic but of the trust they have in each other

This time Algy was ready and waiting…

So when the sea rushed in where fluffy birds fear to tread, Algy stood not upon the order of his going but went at once, leaping up into the air with glee, chortling happily at the waves below as they entreated him in vain to take swimming lessons once again…

Hovering low over the water at the point where the tide was washing in over the rocks, Algy began to dance in the sparkling spray, bobbing up and down with each new wave to prevent the surf from catching him by the tail feathers as he whirled and twirled just above the foam, and laughing and singing merrily at the top of his voice:

Oh friends, no more of these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, More full of joy! Joy, bright spark of divinity, Daughter of Elysium, Fire-inspired we tread Thy sanctuary! Thy magic power reunites All that custom has divided; All men become brothers Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

Algy wishes you all a truly joyous Saturday 💕

[Algy is singing the opening (in a standard English translation) of the famous Ode to Joy by the 18th century German author and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. Those who are familiar with the even more famous setting by Beethoven are warmly invited to sing along 😀]
