#queen nerea

[roland-crane-leafbook]

This was quite an interesting doodle. A certain orange friend drew Queen Nerea of Hydropolis and myself as traditional merfolk for "Mer May" this year. They said they would love to include Leander as a human prince that encounters us in a Little Mermaid-esque AU, should their health permit them to before the end of this month.

Either way, I hope you enjoy Rara's artwork of us. Nerea is quite stunning in any form, isn't she?

First Sight

Fandom: Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Characters: Leander Aristides, Queen Nerea Length: 775 words Warnings: None

The king of Hydropolis has called a meeting with the head of the Aristides family to discuss matters of state. The families have always been close, the Aristides providing financial support and their intellectual capabilities to the endeavors of the royal family in exchange for social influence and authority. The arrangement suits both parties just fine as it has ensured the successful ruling of Hydropolis for centuries now. 

Today, the matriarch of the Aristides family brings the newest member of their clan to meet the king. His name is Leander, and he has just turned six. He clutches his grandmother’s hand as they descend into the palace below the waves. 

He tries his best to be brave as they pass by palace guards in shining suits of armor. His grandmother has explained to him that he must make a good impression, so he’s wearing his nicest clothes today, a green coat and purple trousers, and he has on his most serious, grown-up face. 

It wavers a little bit as his grandmother stops them outside of a large room and informs him that this is the throne room and that he must be on his best behavior because the king is inside. Leander has never met the king before, and this makes him nervous, but he nods and promises that he will. 

She opens the door, and they enter, him half a step behind her and almost hidden in her skirts. He would prefer not to be seen until he has gathered his bearings, and the throne room is large and round and frightening for the youngest member of the Aristides family. 

Most intimidating of all is the man who sits in the center of the room on a plinth. He has blue hair and a beard, and he is attired in gleaming golden scales that make Leander’s eyes water. In his hand, he holds a scepter, and his expression is even more serious than Grandmother Aristide’s. This, Leander has no doubt, is the king. 

“Your Majesty,” his grandmother says with a curt bow. Leander does his best to mimic it. 

The king smiles, and he instantly becomes far less frightening. “Phaethusa, my old friend. And who is the little one you’ve brought with you?” 

His grandmother nudges him forward. “Introduce yourself, child.” 

Leander swallows nervously. His gaze is on the ground. “L-leander Aristides, Your Majesty.” 

“Another Aristides!” the king proclaims. “This is fine news indeed. And how old are you, young Leander?” 

“S-six, Your Majesty,” he says, wide-eyed. 

The king’s smile widens. “Why, that’s the same age as my daughter! Nerea, dear, come out from behind those columns! I know you’re here.” 

A girl with her father’s blue hair steps out from behind a column with her hands on her hips. “I wasn’t hiding,” she says. 

Leander’s eyes are round as saucers at this young girl’s bravery, but the king just laughs. “No, you weren’t hiding. You were eavesdropping again, little one,” he says. “Come and introduce yourself to our guests. This is Phaethusa, an old family friend, and her grandson, Leander.” 

The girl walks over to stand in front of her father and lifts her little chin. “I am Nerea, princess of Hydropolis.” 

Leander stares at her, starry-eyed. She is the prettiest girl he has ever seen and she’s a princess. 

“H-hello, Your Highness,” he says and bows again. 

This seems to please her because she smiles. 

“Nerea, dear,” the king says. “Why don’t you show Leander to your room while the grown-ups talk business?” 

She seems to consider this. “Yes, that would be fine. Come along, Leander.” 

She sweeps out of the room, skirt swishing dramatically, and Leander hurries after her with a nervous look at his grandmother who nods in approval. This is fortunate because, between the wills of his grandmother and the princess, he isn’t sure who would win out. 

As it is, he follows Nerea down the corridor with his heart in his throat, and after a moment, they enter a tidy and well-furnished bedchamber. The walls are painted with images of jellyfish and sea stars, and a large toy chest rests in one corner. Nerea immediately goes over and opens it. She pulls out a toy sword and hands it to him. 

“We’re going to play princess and knight,” she says. “You’ll be the knight, and I’ll be the princess.”

“Alright,” Leander says eagerly. He brandishes the sword, and she nods in approval. 

“Your task is to vanquish the dreaded monster Cetus. Are you capable of it?” 

“I am,” he says as seriously as he can. 

“Very good,” she says. “I think we will get along swimmingly.” 

He quietly agrees.

Taking a quick break from Euros, here’s a quick update on “how shitty can USAG be this month?”

Lennox Hopkins, formerly one of the top USA rg national team gymnasts, posted to her story on ig about more shadiness from USAG after the elite qualifiers.

She successfully sued the organization when she retired, for promises not delivered on, and other unfair practices among other things. When she became injured, it was also months before anyone in the organization reached out to her, and this was far before she took legal action for the other concerns. Those in charge obviously have beef with this multi talented queen who took a stand.

Her post came after rampant questionable judging at the elite qualifier, where coaches and parents were taking to social media to protest this.

These competitions in the USA are not allowed to be streamed, and parents attending can ONLY film their own children.

Coaches began defending their gymnasts, after receiving low scores, especially in comparison to other gymnasts with many losses in their routines.

Mother of former national team member, Nerea Francis, also chimed in on how it drove her daughter to end her career with rg.

I LOVE seeing the USA work to get put on the RG map in the past decade. When will this organization stop self sabotaging??

How can these judges behave like teenage schoolgirl bullies? ����

Oh right, because nothing ever changes.

I LOVE Evita and Lili, and would love to see more US gymnasts shine in the next quad.

So why must they hide their gymnasts away? It only hinders growth and popularity for the sport on a domestic level.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Wonder if they’ll get a scandal free nationals 🫣

¡My new OC!

🌸—I love cult of the lamb too much that I made my own OC! She is the queen of the seven seas! Nerea! Her voice sounds like the song of the mermaids, beautiful and dangerous, man I love her... she is my new baby.

I wrote a pretty traumatic lore to the poor thing.

🌸— She was the leader of a cult, I say it was because she is no longer a leader. She was nicknamed the queen of the 7 seas because she traveled in search of the 7 crystals of sin, in each sea there was one hidden. Oops spoilers. Well, actually there were 6, there is one left to find.

🌸—She is passionate, energetic and kind, worthy of being a leader. She loves to defend her people, maybe she looks a little rude but she is an adorable little goof.

[fishinthewater2611]

Amaiur, Nerea, Pina and Patri are still so young. Mapi has at least 4 more years of her best level. And many other players too.

They will "probably" never play in the international stage again. They will be called drama queens/cry babies for so many years. All because they stand firm and fight for the better.

I will always support them and them only.

Yes I'm bitter but I don't feel the least bit happy for the players who don't unite for the better.

day 13 - au! shiho is included, alongside the rest of leo/need, tsukasa and a few others

small fandom (this is all self-indulgent anyway) BUT. i've been thinking about a ni no kuni ii au:

Tsukasa as Roland, Saki as Evan. One of the main reasons for this is how each person from Roland's world is connected to one in Evan's. Though I don't think it's ever said, Roland's son is at least implied to be tied to Evan. Roland's son is also implied to have a chronic illness. Throughout the story, he protects and encourages Evan, watching him grow. Evan goes from a timid, frightened former King to the confident ruler of Evermore, a kingdom he founded with Roland, and the boy who united all 5 kingdoms.

Airi as Aranella. I didn't know who to put here, but because Saki looks up to Airi, I thought this would be sweet. Even if Nella does die at the start. It's fine.

Ichika as Tani. I almost picked Shiho because she's also a bit of a stick-in-the-mud with a secret love of cute things (which also matches anessa from dqb2 but anyway.), BUT I decided on Ichika instead. It's implied that she eventually marries Evan, for one thing, but I thought that overall, she just fits better with her extroverted, optimistic nature (fits Saki better, but she's already Evan).

Shiho as Batu. Rather than a parental figure to Ichika, she would be more of a mentor and experienced fighter, both to her and Saki. I have less to say here. In this AU, the way she found Ichika wouldn't be that different. However, rather than stealing from Ichika's dying mother, she'd probably just take her to protect her, though she'd probably be a child or teenager rather than a baby. Plus, she's lonely (and in need of an heir, but that's not important). I do think it would be sweet if she used to be cold, but softened with Ichika.

Honami as Martha. She gets to look after all those little Higgeldies. I just think that would be cute. As a bonus, Kanade and Mafuyu could either live with her, OR be Higgeldies. Either are really sweet.

Miku as Lofty. It's funny.

Rui as Leander, Shizuku as Nerea. Shizuku would be a Queen, Rui would be her chief adviser. They're also in love, which was the main reason. Besides that, Leander is (one of) the most knowledgeable in the party, though it's Bracken whose knowledge is based around machines, as she is from Broadleaf (and her best friend is its ruler).

Bracken as An. I know Nene (with Zip as Rui) or Haruka might've made more sense, but I cannot let this go now. However, it could also be Toya as Leander, Haruka as Nerea, Nene as Bracken and Rui as Zip. Anyway, Bracken as An. That's it.

Akito as himself because I just really wanted him in here, especially where Toya is Leander rather than Rui.

NOW the part I was struggling with: Alisandra and Doloran.

A King isn't supposed to fall in love with his Kingmaker. Doloran did what he never should have. Alisandra reciprocated his feelings and for a while, they were happy. Alisandra, though, was immortal. Doloran wasn't. As a sort of last resort, she attempted to split herself into two and succeeded. One half mortal, the other being the powerful half, which became a great evil, the Horned One. Though she worked with Doloran to defeat it, this was only temporary. She gave up her future with her lover to seal the Horned One away and guard it, though Doloran didn't know this. She was also the one to bring Roland into their world.

Doloran wanted his kingdom, Allegoria, back, as it had been destroyed (sort of). He brought the Horned One back and took souls from across the world so he could begin to rebuild. Basically, he wanted his kingdom and he wanted Alisandra. So, who to pick?

For this one, I went with Mizuki as Alisandra and Ena as Doloran. Mizuki breaking unspoken rules for the woman she loves, then giving everything up to protect her. Ena never knowing this, desperate to return all that she lost, only to lose it again because not only did she not know everything she needed to, but because she was too hurt to care about what she did. It might not necessarily fit their characters, but I think it fits them best (though KanaMafu, AkiToya or MinoHaru could've worked well too imo).

As I said with Akito, Kanade and Mafuyu, the other characters would probably just be themselves. Assuming they're residents of different kingdoms that they can pick up along the way (the side quest characters, that is), here are their kingdoms, including the characters who could be replaced by others:

Ding Dong Dell: Minori, Emu

Goldpaw: Kohane, Toya

Hydropolis: Haruka, An, Shizuku

Broadleaf: Nene, Rui

[marine-indie-gal]

Ok, so real thing;  Originally, I was going to make Pontus and Thalassa as Roman Titans/Counterparts to Oceanus and Tethys but then I realize that upon my own big mistake, Pontus and Oceanus were not exactly the same God, thus, I completely mistook for a version of Ocean Parents. 

In Greco-Roman Mythology, Amphitrite was actually the Daughter of Nereus and Doris. However, since in my version, Amphitrite is Oceanus and Tethys' Daughter (based on some sources where she was an Oceanid), my mind completely wanted Me to have Salacia as Nereus and Doris' Daughter giving as to how that there are Rare Media showing Nereus being barley the Father of Poseidon's Wife (example is in Disney's Hercules). And mainly because Nereus and Doris are Amphitrite/Salacia's actual parents throughout lore, I felt really embarrass of making Pontus and Thalassa as replacements for Nereus and Doris as The Parents of King Poseidon's wife in my AU since I know for a fact that SpongeBob isn't that 1.1 accurate towards Mythos (and defiantly wouldn't take Mythos THAT seriously), but based on the Wife Swap scenario in Different Timelines between Timeline A and Timeline B (which is Kamp Koral), there's only unsolved questionable asks like who could Amphitrite and Salacia's own Parents be if Poseidon and Neptune had swap their own consorts? That is, who exactly are the Parents of the Wives?

So yeah, another Headcanon Retconned for my SpongeBob AU (mainly because on how my brain is slowly progressing a change development for Certain Alternate Backstories which I still have kept developed ever since). Granted, I was actually going to consider Nereus and Doris having their own Family (in which Nerites and Nerea would've been Nereus and Doris' only children) but seeing as to now that Pontus and Thalassa just now don't really work as Different replacements for them as I feel like that keeping the one popular version where it's an Elder Man of the Sea is a Father to Fifty Beautiful Daughters is a lot more comparable to the Elderly Parent type in a Fairy Tale where their own Child sacrifices their own Parents' lives to be in their own place (Beauty and the Beast, anyone?). It's not necessarily that I would keep the Counterparts to have the same body type, because we live in a world where we have our own shapes and sizes (like comparing an Apple with a Pear), though one can say for sure is how that not every God has a Counterpart of their own by different name. So, just why not have the Two Different versions of the Sea Queen's Parents be Counterparts of each other for the sake of their own Daughters? Could've been a LOT more easier if I already had done that before in the first place...

Anyways, here's a little new re-addition of Nereus and Doris, the Parents of the Nereids (including Salacia).

Nereus is very Wise and Strict, always keeping a close eye to each of the Seven Seas and even most importantly towards his Daughters, the Nereids. He is annoyed by Salacia's actions whenever she's doing something that gets her in trouble but despite the fact that Salacia is one of his Nereid Daughters who is the most different, he still loves all of his daughters briefly no matter what.

Doris is very Patient and Calm, often hard-working with all of the choices that she tends to get done and is indeed an watcher of all of the Seas just like her own Husband. She takes very good care of her own Daughters and would often tell them stories (usually Fairy Tales). Of course, being a Supportive Mother she is, she would mainly comfort her daughters (including Salacia) no matter what sorts of trouble situations they are in.
