Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Ch.7)

Chapter 7. As mentioned in many times in the story, Bivalve is currently located in Atlantis under the water. Of course, Author forgets this a lot and has to go back to edit a lot to make sure she remembers. Originally the “Bioluminescence fish scene” was a bunch of stars that reader could see due to it being far from human civilization. Of course, stars don’t exist under the sea so Author had to pull a fast one. It turned out good in the end though.

For some reason people were sad about the jellyfish being killed, Author was confused. Author lives near the sea and has been stung by jellyfishes more than enough times. Author hates jellyfishes. Author had to wrap her head around the fact some people find jellyfishes cute. It’s the same as going up to a person in new York and saying rats are cute. It mind boggles you.

Originally after killing the Jellyfish, Poseidon was going to take you back to his manor because he believes you couldn’t be left alone. Reader would have stayed in his room (nothing would happen) and this would have made Amphitrite jealous. Of course, this didn’t make sense in Poseidon’s character as he currently is still only physical attracted to reader and would never show he cares. So, Author changed it last minute.

Ch.7 was a lot of last minute editing, a lotttt. Author was surprised it turned out so popular in the end.

Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Ch 3-6)

Chapter 3-6 have a bunch of mini gags sprinkled in (none really major ones). So rapid fire round:

- Ch ¾: The giant turtle is named Alexander The Great. This is a gag to the Greek hero/king Alexander the Great. Author thought she was a genius at the time for coming up with the idea.

- Ch.3: The dress/toga scene is another reference to Zeus being attracted to reader. Hence “the dog in heat” reference.

- Ch.4: When Triton thinks that he will never mention that his mother is more beautiful than Aphrodite. References Greek mythology on how Aphrodite will kill anyone more beautiful to her.

- Ch.5: Bryce tries to stop and protect reader. This was a subtle hint (as well as in chapter 2) that he had feelings for her.

- Ch.5: While many might think Poseidon is the voice calling out to the reader or possibly an inner instinct, it’s actually Zeus. Its another reference to greek mythology.

- Ch.6: At the start of the chapter when Poseidon says “my brother must be losing his mind”. This references not only the fact that Zeus is trying to set Poseidon up with reader but also Poseidon thinks Zeus is crazy for finding the reader attractive.

- Ch.6: Reader tries to hold Triton’s head over the water even though she knows that he is the son of Poseidon. Not her best moment.

- Ch.6: This is once again obvious and seen throughout the book but reader is written to be the total opposite of Amphitrite. This is first seen in the fact the reader is much weaker compared to Amphitrite. For some reason, even author doesn’t know, this attracts Poseidon.

- Ch.6: Before snapping himself out of the kiss (or giving his blessing), Poseidon was actually enjoying the kiss with the reader. He pulls away because he feels it defines him as weak.

- Ch.6: Marine is actually a tribute to the precious Beta Fish of “glitching-art” that passed away. Glitching art is one of the first loyal fans of Bivalve and motivated me a lot to continue writing the series.

Things you might not know about Bivalve (Ch.12)

A/N: Once again, Minors do not read. Explicit content you have been warned.

Chapter 12; another fun chapter. Get ready Folks.

Fact 1: Vol. 3 is called Kiss the Girl. Messed up in many ways as it’s a Disney reference (and Amphitrite ironically looks like Ariel) and it is right after they hit 3rd base.

Fact 2: Reader casually wishes she had google to help search up what to do if you have sex with a god. Just normal things.

Fact 3: Poseidon is the type to read a book then fall asleep after sex. Then again he probably has more stamina than the reader so he isn’t likely that tired.

Fact 4: His bedroom also secretly reveals a similarity between him and Triton. Poseidon bed is a circle bed in the center of his room, Triton build a nest like bed out of pillows. Poseidon is laying on a pile of soft and silk pillows to keep himself upright, Triton likes soft and comfy things. Coincidence? I think not.

Fact 5: Reader casually insults Poseidon by saying she doesn’t see him as the type to read. Poseidon is also reading a book about Penguins btw. There was going to be a scene where the reader snatched the book away but that got replaced by the pillow scene.

Fact 6: The fact that Poseidon wrinkles his nose up at the term “wife” when referring to reader, once again shows that Poseidon and Reader are physical attracted to each other. They aren’t emotionally nor do they like each other like that yet.

Fact 7: However when the servant knocks on the door and both of them think it’s Amphitrite, Poseidon acts very defensive and suspicious. This shows that he is instinctively acting protecting over the reader, not feeling yet but he’s ahead of the reader a little.

Fact 8: Poseidon casually gives reader a vitamin/birth control pill. This reveals Poseidon didn’t wear a condom. Poseidon is an asshole.

Fact 9: Reader casually thinks it’s a good idea to throw a pillow to Poseidon. Poseidon also didn’t catch it. This shows his guard was down, either because he didn’t care since the reader is human or that he felt relaxed with her. I’ll let you guys decide which one is correct.

Fact 10: When Poseidon says “You aren’t going anywhere, Human.” Was this sexual? Yes.

Does that mean Author wrote another smu— Shush. Yes. Just take the answer as always yes. Once again, it’s locked in the deepest dungeons of my abyssal docs.

Fact 11: Amphitrite casually wondering where it all went wrong when Poseidon is currently having sex with reader. How convenient.

Fact 12: Amphitrite wears a dark veil to hide herself from the eyes of the gorgon sisters. This reveals that gods are affected by the powers of the gorgon sisters.

Fact 13: In Bivalve, Medusa is not pregnant with Poseidon’s kids (Pegasus and Chrysaor). This means Medusa is not raped by Poseidon. And before you all come for my head about that, I have my reasons. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that version of the Medusa story. I just felt that it didn’t fit with the fact that a. Amphitrite scares off any female near Poseidon and b. Snv Poseidon in Bivalve doesn’t really fit Mythology Poseidon. I made him much colder than a gross player.

Fact 14: So, this begs the question, SPOILERS IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP TO CHAPTER 19, how did Euryale get pregnant with Orion. Well, that will be mentioned in chapter 20. It’s not through the usual way I assure you. Could this mean Medusa could secretly have Pegasus and Chrysaor when her head is cut off, perhaps? It’s going to be a little weird writing it though.

Fact 15: Now, I know people liked the gorgon sisters during this chapter but I promise from Ch 20 or 23 forward you will hate them. I will be surprised if you don’t.

Do with this information what you wish.

Things you might not know about Bivalve (Ch.11)

A/N: If you are Minor please don’t read this, I know I can’t technically stop you guys but just a warning. It gets explicit.

The chapter most of you have likely been waiting for Chapter 11. Chapter 11 is filled with references. It’s honestly a chapter Author had a lot of fun with.

Fact 1: The Pacific Manor is the largest manor just like how the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean. Author once again thought she was creative.

Fact 2: Reader is dropped on the couch in Poseidon’s office. This is the same couch Poseidon was sitting on when Amphitrite was flirting with Poseidon in Chapter 9. Aka the Couch Poseidon got a boner on thinking about the reader. It was a forewarning about what was to come.

Fact 3:Poseidon hands the marriage document written in old English to reader. This is a funny joke in of itself. Though if you look closer it’s even funnier. At first one would assume that Poseidon just didn’t want to bother translating the document to modern English but you have to realize Poseidon is a GREEK god so they speak GREEK (Ancient Greek as well). So he basically translated the document in English for the reader but then didn’t want to seem too caring and translated it to old English. The P in Poseidons name stands for petty people. PETTY.

Fact 4: Not only in this chapter but in the last one as well, Poseidon has begun staring the reader in the eye. Subtle character change in Poseidon and reveals his change in opinions about the reader.

Fact 5: Poseidon helping the reader about to go through a panic attack. Once again, subtle character change.

Fact 6: Author writes about reader struggling to breathe when the reader IS UNDERWATER. But then again how do you write fish accepting oxygen in the water. You call it breathing. Author was having a mental break down after realizing that fact, she hopes you are too :).

Fact 7: There is a million other ways for Poseidon to give the Ambrosia to the reader. He could have honestly put in the cup for crying out loud or help his arm up for her to drink from. But he chose kissing. He uses the excuse that it is because she will only mess it up. I’ll let you decide whether he had his mind in the gutter or not.

Fact 8: Technically this is the readers first kiss with Poseidon as she was a. unconscious for the previous one and b. doesn’t know how Poseidon gave her the blessing in the first place (likely believes he waved his magic wand and poof). So, also technically if you were to ask either one of them what was there first kiss with the other, they would have totally different answers.

Fact 9: Reader compares to drinking Poseidon’s blood as building up a tolerance as if it’s Poison. An off handed insult the Author put in.

Fact 10: The fact the Poseidon hasn’t had sex with anyone since Triton was conceived. This means this is the first time he is getting laid in at least a century, probably more if you consider how far back greek mythology is written. A century!

Fact 11: Does this technically mean Poseidon’s dick is an ancient artifact?

Fact 12: People believe that Poseidon looking at reader’s stomach was supposed to mean that he was imagining knocking her up. I originally wrote this scene to symbolize the inner battle with himself and that he was trying to ground himself. But I much better like the people’s opinion.

Fact 13: Poseidon is prideful but still admits he is an idiot. This shows that he is internally constantly bashing himself into being the perfect being. An small scene into Poseidon’s psychological self… during a make out scene. Yay!

Fact 14: Reader is willing to sleep with Poseidon even though she hates him. This shows that while she doesn’t like Poseidon, she is attracted to him.

Fact 15: And finally. The secret that I keep in the deepest depths of my hidden dungeon and the question I get asked the most. Was there going to be a smut scene after this chapter. And I can finally answer said forbidden question. Yes, yes there was. Author just decided to change the rating to more family friendly last minute . So you can thank your author for that.

Do I still have the smut scene? Yes, yes I do. Is it almost a full chapter long as well? yes yes it is. Is it going to ever be released? ‍♀️‍♀️

Do with this information what you wish.

Is there a specific chapter of bivalve people want Easter eggs released to first? The 1st Vol secrets are pretty short from what I can see in my drafts and I feel like I should give you guys something good.

I’m relying on my more vocal audience for this one.

Okay, Serious Talk

Hello everyone so I decided to create a post to talk about things. For anyone who has been on this blog for a while I’m sure most of you guys are either a HxH fan or Record of Ragnarok Fan. And I’m sure most of you guys are here for my Bivalve story especially as it’s my most popular fic/story on here.

And, I’m sure you guys have notice Bivalve hasn’t updated for a while. And I’ve also been getting a lot of questions about when it’s coming back. What’s happening next, how long the series will be, if I’m working on the series at all, etc. So just to make it easier on myself and all my readers, I created this big post with all questions I’ve gotten over the last few months.

(You don’t have to read everything on here (I would suggest it though))

Why hasn’t Bivalve been update?

Okay, so this is the most asked question I’ve gotten. I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve had this asked. To put it simply Bivalve hasn’t update because I’ve simply been… Busy. I know it’s like huh? What? That’s it? But I’m sure once I go into further detail you’ll understand why I haven’t updated it.

So, I’m a college student (which I’m sure 50% of tumblr people relate to) but more specifically I’m a Film and Business (Finance mostly right now) Dual Major. And If you guys don’t know, Business major write a shit ton and film majors do a fuck ton of story/plot telling. So I’m sure you can understand once I’m done with college stuff for the day, you can kind of guess that I don’t want to do those sort of things in my free time. So I don’t really want to update Bivalve or write fanfics at all. Plus in addition to College, I have a part time job. Which is another huge time commitment.

Of course, this pans into the next questions you guys are probably asking.

Why have you been updating fics but not Bivalve?

Well,1st as I’ve stated in a previous post the only fics I’ve posted since being in college are all old rough drafts. I’ve been on tumblr for about 2 years (maybe 1.5) and so I have a bunch of old fics I never posted before because I simply didn’t like them or didn’t know how to write them.

2nd, compared to all the other stories/series I’ve written, Bivalve takes a lot more time to write. Bivalve is completely Non-canon compared to other series and takes a lot of world and character building in order to write one chapter. Think about it, things like Amphtrite, Persephone, Orion, Triton, Atlantis, structure of gods, etc. don’t exist in canon and I have to plan and write them out in chapters. I also have to read and refer to mythology since it’s an important part of Record of Ragnarok. So it can take hours in order to plan and write certain chapters. The quickest I’ve ever written a chapter for Bivalve is likely 3 hours, it’s not easy work.

Plus, take this in perspective, think about how my previous work schedule was. I used to post 2-3 times a week, that means at a minimum I would dedicate 6-9 hours (more likely 12+ hours) a week just to Bivalve. I dedicated a huge portion of my life to this series and I simply don’t have the time with how my schedule is right now.

Have you worked on Bivalve all?

Of course, it’s not like a left Bivalve high and dry. I’ve kept up with the Manga and have been planning out world building when I actually feel in the mood.

Over my two semesters at college, I have been slowly making documents to keep the series of Bivalve in order. Especially as I will be picking up writing it after a long hiatus. I have the whole series from Ch. 20–End planned out. I have yet to done chapter by chapter but I have a general idea of what each chapter will include.

This planning will also ensure Bivalve can easily be written and picked up when I have the time.

When will Bivalve be back?

Bivalve will be back once I’m done with my spring semester of college. For those non-college people, Bivalve will be back sometime in May. Perhaps early May? I have to see how fast it takes me to settle back in.

However once I am settled, Bivalve will be back on. I’m mostly working the summer and visiting friends so with college out of the way, Bivalve will have much much more time to be dedicated to it.

How long will the series be?

I’ve said this 100 times before, even while writing this series, and I’m honestly not sure. It says on the description on my general masterlist that Bivalve is a “Slow Burn”. And honestly I use the term slow burn with a grain of salt. This is because my “slow burn” is going quite fast for something in the slow burn genre. Most slow burns are about 30 chapters long before they even hold hands.

So,… it’s going to be a while before this series comes to a close.

Why don’t you respond to messages?

Honestly, I have a pretty good reason for not responding to peoples messages. It’s not that I want to ignore you, I appreciate your “how are you doing” and “I hope you are doing okay” but I just won’t respond.

To put it simply, I’ve had bad experiences talking to people through messages. To put it even simpler. Minors.

I can’t even count the about the amount of times I’ve gotten an explicit message talking about how hot Poseidon (or any character really) is and then I go to check their profile and I find out they are a minor. It’s just… no. I understand, I was a horny teenager at one point but just don’t go talking to me, a grown adult, about it. It makes me very, very, uncomfortable.

So, I’ve sort of stop responding to people through messages. I found that it stops people from messaging me or leading to conversations about explicit things if I am known not to talk to them.

How can I contact you if I can’t talk to you through messages?

Use my ask me or put messages on my posts. Honestly. I keep my ask me and comments on at all times. I also get a notification whenever someone sends it in.

Also please comment over sending in asks, I’m more likely to take your thoughts into considerations, I literally review and write down questions people ask when I’m writing my next chapters. Asks me’s get lost in my feed and it gets clogged in my ask me box easily.

Are you taking request? Why?

I’m not taking request. I don’t have time. Refer to question 1 for reason.

When will you be taking requests?

Probably sometime in the summer. I want to focus more on my series before I do requests. I have a love hate relationship with asks. I love the people asking them but 90% of the time it’s about writing a smut and I don’t really want to write that as much anymore.

Are you updating any other series? (HxH, Kakegurui, etc)

Yes. I’ll be trying to post updates to Helping Hands and my Rin Obami series (I can’t remember the name for the life of me right now). Just not as frequent as Bivalve.

As for the Family series I’m 50/50. It’s the first fic I have ever written on tumblr so I love, yet also hate it at the same time. It was my way of trying dark yandere writing and I’m not really that type of writer. I love my Feitan side of the story, I’m obsessed with those fics don’t worry. But if I ever continue Family, I’m going to have to rewrite Chrollo’s first part of the story. I just can’t stand how I started off that series.

Any other questions that were not answered, please put them in the comments below. If you are wondering why I’m not being my jolly self in this post, don’t take it personal; if you had to repeatedly answer these same asks for about 5 months in a row, you would be in the same position.

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A RUNDOWN OF WHATS GOING ON IN THE NEW FIGHT????

So…. knowing what we know now from round 7…

How does context change this scene?

We thought in the past that Poseidon’s whistle was him mocking or warning Adamas that he’s bout to F*CK HIM UP.

But now, it seems like it was either his way of trying to remind Adamas of the sacrifices and victories they’ve made as 4 brothers… (which would explain Adamas’ pained look) or it was Poseidon remembering Hades’s act of brotherly love and using it to cool his anger at Adamas.

Either way, his callback to Hades’ solo battle against the Titans for the sake of his brothers seems very purposeful, considering that Adamas is trying to break that brotherly bond thru betrayal, and seems now like his own way of trying to reach his brother before it escalated to violence.

What do you think???

So in light of the latest raws being released, I had the cringiest dream about Hades last night. It was like a music video with a softer, angsty rock song playing. Hades was lying injured on the steps of a white tower. The lyrics were kind of hinting at, like, his regret at not influencing the other gods to be more considerate to humanity?? And something about being poisoned?? Eventually he lost his strength and just went tumbling down a few flights of stairs before laying on a landing. Very sorrowful.

The Little Nereid Part 27 (final)

Record of Ragnarok fanfiction

Poseidon x OC

Word count: 1,700

Dynamene, youngest of the 50 Nereids, has lived most of her adolescence as a servant alongside her sisters at Poseidon’s palace. But with her coming-of-age birthday and other developments, what she initially thought was just admiration of her master blossoms into something stronger and more passionate… and painful. Loving someone like Poseidon is not easy period, let alone as your first love. But Dynamene is young and naïve, and all she wants is a chance to be at the sea god’s side.

Categories and warnings: Romance, angst, unrequited love, coming-of-age, earn-your-happy-ending, slow-burn (ish); sexual content. Graphic violence parts 15 and 16. Smut part 25.

Now completed.

—

It was with wobbly legs that Dynamene made her way out of the palace and down to the water’s edge. She felt as if she’d just left a court trial, confessing her engagement to Poseidon to her parents, and now she felt so weightless she was nearly light-headed. She all but collapsed onto the sand and buried her hands and feet into the warmth. “That didn’t go so bad,” she murmured to herself, giving her shoulders a shake. “That didn’t go so bad at all.” She smiled with relief, watching a group of merpeople play in the distance. Now all that’s left is to tell my siblings… But that can wait until after the Gods’ Council; perhaps when I have Poseidon at my side once more. He can make his case then, too.

“Feeling less worried, now?” Dynamene jumped and whipped around to look behind her. Eione was standing there, hands on hips, grinning knowingly at her.

“I was, until you frightened me half to death,” Dynamene groaned. “Thanks for the heart attack.”

Eione plopped down besides her on the sand. “So little Dynamene is joining the ranks of our married sisters, huh? Where has time gone…” She squinted into the bright sky. “I’m glad Mother and Father didn’t give you much grief.”

“You eavesdropper,” Dynamene sighed, resting her face against her hand. “But I suppose it’s alright to let one of you know before I tell the others. It feels weird, keeping something a secret from you all.”

“Well, perhaps I shouldn’t have listened,” Eione confessed, leaning back on her arms. “But I was already lounging on the roof when Poseidon came by to speak to our parents. They never went inside, so I heard the whole thing.”

“You did?!” Dynamene started.

“It didn’t take very long. He said his piece about how he wanted to marry you, and that he’d keep you safe… And Mother said, ‘what, like last time?’ I thought for sure that’d set him off again. But it didn’t.”

After what had happened in the past, Dynamene found it hard to picture her love maintaining a stoic face against her mother’s barbs. “What happened next?”

“He just stood there, and then Father said it was entirely dependent on what you wanted. Then he left. Very dramatic, as I’m sure you can imagine.”

Dynamene snorted. “Ah, yes. My fiancé and his flair for drama.” But inside, her heart was jumping for joy. It was the sweetest feeling to know that he was making an honest attempt to rebuild bridges with her family. She turned to look at Eione. “…Tell me, do you think I’m foolish for wanting to be with him again?”

“No,” Eione said flatly. “I knew it would happen. And I think, once you tell the others, they’ll say the same thing. If the old wounds had healed, and the feelings had died, you wouldn’t have continued to avoid him two thousand years later.”

Dynamene winced. “It was really that obvious, huh?” She sighed. “I tried so hard to forget him, you know. I was just never successful.”

“So you have to tell me then, what happened that you two reconnected? This is all so sudden. Nothing for two millennia, and then overnight, you two get engaged?” Eione chuckled. “Sure you’re not pulling our leg? Or have you been keeping it under wraps for a while?”

“No!” Dynamene got flustered as she remembered last night’s rather passionate reunion. “Um, we just happened to meet last night when I went to see the old palace, and we started to talk, and… um…”

Eione guffawed, her eyes wide, as she put two and two together. “Wait, what?! Is young Dynamene a maiden no longer?!” She fell back in the sand, laughing. “You spent the night with him, and now you’re engaged?! It was that eye-opening of an experience, was it?!”

“It is not that cut-and-dry!” Dynamene protested, her face bright pink. “We reconnected emotionally! We had a very honest conversation with each other about how we feel, and the future.”

“Oh, I bet you did,” Eione gasped, pushing a curl out of her face. “Ah, bless your heart. And his. I’m impressed. Well, I’m glad you two found happiness with each other.” She started to laugh once more.

Dynamene gave up her fight against the embarrassed smile that was spreading across her face. “Happy, indeed,” she giggled, turning her face away.

“So we’ll be getting a niece or nephew sometime, then?” Eione teased, poking her leg. “Hopefully after the wedding, and not before?”

“What, a baby? This soon?!” It was Dynamene’s turn to laugh. “I don’t think so! We’ll have all of eternity to start a family. I’d rather focus on the two of us for now.” She playfully tossed a pinch of sand at her sister. “Anyway, I know it’ll take time for Mother and Father to completely accept him, but I know it’ll come eventually. As long as they can be civil, I’ll be happy.”

“They’ll come around. Poseidon’s done some terrible things, but at some point, with the passage of time, even he can change. He may be a god, but he is still a man.” Eione leaned over to poke at the glimmering necklace on her sister’s neck. “I’m guessing these jewels are from him, then?”

“Yes.” Dynamene straightened up proudly. “He’d actually kept the bracelet he originally gifted me all this time… Unexpectedly romantic, don’t you think?” She held out her hand to show off the way the bracelet caught the brilliant sunbeams. “I suppose I should take them off, though, until I’m ready to tell everyone else. They’ll give it away.”

“Aye,” Eione agreed. “The moment they see your bracelets, they’ll know. But how long will you keep from telling them?”

“Only until the Council has ended. With humanity’s fate hanging in the balance at the moment, it’d be heartless to gush over our engagement. It can wait another day or two.” She reluctantly slid the bracelets off her wrists and tucked them into her peplos.

“Here.” Eione helped her undo the tania and necklace. “There we are. Back to unengaged Dynamene.”

“That’s the idea,” Dynamene teased, holding a finger to her lips. “Why don’t we go back inside and see if they’ve started lunch? All this excitement is making me hungry.”

“A woman after my own heart,” Eione sighed. She threw her arm around her sister’s shoulders. “I hope you’ll be staying with us, then, until the Council is over?”

“Of course!” They got to their feet and began the short trek back to the palace. “It really is nice to be home again with all of you. It’s just like old times.”

“I’ll drink to that,” Eione agreed, brushing sand off of Dynamene’s arm.

—

The afternoon’s hopeful atmosphere was quickly extinguished by the following evening. All fifty of the Nereids were gathered in the palace’s largest parlor to watch the Gods’ Council unfold. A large holoscreen projected on one wall stood in stark contrast to the room’s organic stone walls and antique furniture. Dynamene took a seat next to Ianeira and tried not to let her nerves show too much. It was in vain, though, as Ianeira took one look at her and immediately knew what she was trying to hide. “It’s going to be okay, Dynamene,” she said, patting her sister’s hand. “No matter what the gods decide, we’ll be fine.”

“It’s all such gloomy business, though,” Dynamene frowned. “In just a few minutes, humanity may be doomed to extinction. And we’re such young spirits; we’ve never known a time when Midgard didn’t have humans.”

“Maybe the gods will have a change of heart,” Ianeira comforted her, although her eyes weren’t convincing. “As far-fetched as that may seem.”

Dynamene stared ahead at the blank holoscreen and bit her lip. Poseidon more likely than not wouldn’t vote, and his vote was just one out of thousands either way. A single vote was vastly unlikely to change the tide, but… I really wish you would vote against their destruction. Her hands curled into her peplos, and she wished she was wearing her comforting bracelets.

“Look, it’s starting!” One of the sisters announced, and the room fell silent with nervous anticipation. The holoscreen flashed a silver light, and the vast interior of the magnificent Council of Valhalla’s Parliament faded into view. Gods of every pantheon, far too many to count, had taken their seats and were waiting for the meeting to officially begin. A wizened old man made his way jerkily to a throne with a dragon curled around it in the center of the room, below the impatient eyes of the gods all around. The chairman of the council, he hardly looked like someone powerful enough to command such an important meeting of deities.

“That’s Zeus?” One of the sisters exclaimed. “He looks even frailer than usual.”

“Shush,” Ianeira hissed.

Having taken his seat, Zeus began his opening remarks. Dynamene tried to stay focused, but her heart was pounding dizzily in her ears. Would this really be the end to humanity? Would there really be no more trips to human villages, no more dodging sea vessels?

Ianeira reached over and took Dynamene’s hand, and she chanced a glance at her elder sister. Ianeira’s expression was remarkably stony, but Dynamene could see the tension in her taut jaw and narrowed eyes. Dynamene squeezed back, trying to offer some semblance of reassurance. She thought of Poseidon; wondered what he was thinking about at that moment. Will you really not vote this time around, even with things this dire? Even the thought of him voting against humanity was more palatable than him just sitting back carelessly and doing nothing. Won’t you at least take a stance for what you believe in, even if it’s at odds with mine?

“It’ll all work out,” Ianeira murmured. “You’ll see.”

Dynamene nodded assent. “…It will.” She rose her hand to gently nudge the bracelets hidden within her peplos. I believe it will.

And so all the many Nereids sat, together and united as they had been for millennia, as the council began.

—

9 and a half months later…

Thank you.

Dreamt I fell in love with Adamas last night. Not sure why exactly. I think I admired his hotbloodedness? Everyone was surprised, including him.

Really not sure how to feel now.

Guys, I am honestly pretty speechless right now. The infamously stoic Poseidon…

…was actually not very stoic after all.

Like, this warrants a completely new view of his character. I never ever thought we’d see him this expressive. Or giving this much of a damn about something or someone. I don’t really know how to feel. It’s like he’s a brand-new character. Guess I need a moment to recalibrate.

Word count: 2,880

Warnings: None

As a naïve ten-year-old deity, there’s a lot young Aethusa doesn’t understand. She doesn’t understand why her father, the mighty Poseidon, never seems to have time for her (or even like her). She doesn’t understand why the innate powers she should have inherited haven’t surfaced yet. She doesn’t understand why her classmate, Eumulus, is such a pain in the ass. And she doesn’t understand why she’s not allowed to spear the palace koi.

But she’s determined to find the answers to at least three of these questions, even if it kills her.

Mom always told me that the day I was born, all the blue ocean was sparkling with joyful waves, and that the sea life, from the tiniest plankton to the largest whale, danced in jolly ribbons and schools to celebrate my arrival. They were all happy because my father, the great sea god, was happy. He was so happy that I was born.

I don’t see how that could be the case, though, because he doesn’t even talk to me.

I try not to think about it too much, because it usually makes me sad, but it’s hard not to. Everyone expects me to be like him, and my whole life revolves around the fact that I’m his daughter. But he doesn’t even act like he’s my dad. Not the kind of dad my friends seem to have, anyway. They live with their dads, spar with their dads, and hug their dads. But me and Mom live on Valhalla, and Father hardly ever visits.

“I don’t want to go to school,” I complained. Mom was pulling my hair too hard as she struggled to brush the knots out. “I want to practice with my spear alone some more!”

“I told you before that you may do as you wish after your school day is finished.” Mom poured a little oil onto my waves to ease the knots out. “Now sit still. The more you pull, the more painful this will be.”

“It’s painful because you pull too hard!”

“You’re supposed to brush your hair every night before bed so it doesn’t tangle like this in your sleep. Will you remember to do it now?”

“Yes,” I grumbled. I kicked my legs impatiently. “So I can play the rest of the day after my lessons?”

“Yes.” Mom began to carefully pull the brush once more. The oil had succeeded in detangling my hair. “But be mindful that your father will be visiting this afternoon.”

I stopped kicking my legs. “He will?” Dad only visits once a month. Me and Mom live on a palace on Mount Olympus, one that Dad technically owns, but he spends most of his time on Midgard. Mom says he always has a lot of work to do, repairing the damage humans have done to the oceans.

“Yes. So don’t cause too much trouble, all right?” She set down the brush and squished my cheeks affectionately.

I stared hard at my reflection in the mirror as I thought about Father. “Mom, why don’t I look like Father?”

“What do you mean?” She laughed as she corked the oil bottle and put it away. “You have his grumpy face when you’re mad. And your eyes are ocean-blue, just like his.”

“But I have freckles. And my hair isn’t golden.” I made a grumpy face at the glass, wondering if she was telling the truth. I’ve never seen him really grumpy, just annoyed. That’s just fine, though, because I’ve heard my father’s anger is terrifying.

“Why do you ask this so suddenly?” Mom put a hand on my shoulder. “You’re more like him than you realize, I promise. I’m sorry that my genes edged his out as far as your looks, though. I hope you can forgive me.” She nudged me to my feet. “Now go get your scrolls.”

If I’m so much like him, then why doesn’t he ever pay attention to me? I pouted, but I turned my head before Mom could see. I didn’t want her to worry. But before I could leave my bedroom, one of the maids stopped in the doorway.
“Pardon me, my lady. Lord Poseidon has arrived earlier than expected.”

Father is already here?! I felt myself lighten up, even though I knew he wasn’t really here to see me. He usually comes to talk to Mom about boring adult things. If he does talk to me, it’s to ask me about how I was doing with my schooling. But I’ve been practicing a lot with my spear lately, and I wanted to tell him how much better I’d gotten. “Father’s here?!” I grabbed my spear from its rack and bolted out of the room, down the marble halls, towards the courtyard.
“Don’t run so fast, Aethusa!” Mom called, but I ignored her warning. Even if he didn’t really want to talk to me, I was still really excited to show off what I’d learned.

My sandals slapped loudly against the sun-warmed marble, and I skidded to a breathless halt at the palace entrance.

Father was walking at a calm pace through the gates. The guards were bowed at a perfect ninety-degree angle, their eyes only daring to follow him once he’d walked past. Somehow, he looked even taller than I remembered, but everything else about him was the same. Like every other deity, Father didn’t change. The passing of time didn’t affect him at all. He seemed to glow under the bright sunlight. My eyes squinted as they adjusted to the brightness.

“Father,” I stammered as he came closer. “Um, welcome.” I was technically supposed to curtsy, even though he was my father, but I never did. None of my friends curtsied for their parents, so it always seemed weird for me to do it. Plus, I wasn’t wearing a dress. But Father never said anything, so he didn’t seem to care.

“Aethusa.” He stopped before me. I tilted my head back so I could see his face. I was always in awe of how tall and strong he looked, especially up close. Would I ever grow up to be like that? “Where is your mother?”

“She’s coming.” I fidgeted with my spear awkwardly. Now that he was in front of me, it felt like all of my courage and excitement had gone away. Father was too intimidating. His own trident was so much larger and sharper than my own weapon. My recent victories with my spear seemed so small in comparison to his legendary feats. The idea of bragging about catching a few fish became embarrassing. “Hey, um, I’ve…” I held up my spear a little bit. “I’ve been practicing a lot lately.”

He stared down at me with no expression. “Have you?”

“Yeah!” Just hearing his simple question encouraged me to go on. “I can’t catch a lot of fish, yet, but I can catch a few! I even caught a squid! I’m going to keep practicing so I can get better!”

His eyes flickered to the side for a moment before returning to me. “…I hear you’ve been ‘practicing’ with the koi in the palace ponds.”

I froze up immediately. How did he know that? It was true that I sometimes tried to spear the koi when I didn’t feel like going all the way to the beach, but they always got away. I’d never actually hurt them. It was harmless, wasn’t it? “Um… yeah, I have. But how did you find out?” My curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn’t resist asking.

“The koi told me when I passed by.” His gaze narrowed, and I frowned, staring down at my toes. “Don’t do it again.”

“Yes, Father,” I mumbled. My shoulders drooped. I hadn’t even thought about how the koi felt about being used as targets. I can’t talk to fish yet, so sometimes I forget that they’re just as smart as us.

Then I felt Father’s large hand gently rest atop my head, and my eyes grew wide. When I looked up again, he didn’t look angry. “The palace koi aren’t our enemies. Practice on something else.”

“Um, okay.” He pulled his hand away and continued to walk down the path towards the palace, where Mom was waiting for him. I reached up and touched my hair where he’d patted it down. It was warm from his touch.

“Aethusa, come now. You’re going to be late,” Mom called out with a warning in her voice. I sighed and dashed after Father.

My lessons on special things like etiquette are taught at home, but I also go to school with other kids a few days a week. Father wanted me to be taught by a tutor at home, but Mom said it was better if I went to school with the other children. She said it was important for me to learn to get along with people and make friends, especially since I would grow up to be an important deity. The school I attend is underwater on Midgard, in Atlantis. Every morning that I have to go to school, I get my things and teleport to Midgard using one of the special rune gates that the adults in the palace use to go back and forth as they want. Right now, I can only use it when I’m going to and from school.

I have friends at school, and the teacher, Triton, is really smart. He treats me like every other kid, and he’s really excited when he talks about history. I always pay attention and try to get the best grades in the class, because I want to make Father proud, but sometimes I fail. Triton understands, though, and he cheers me up. He tells me it’s alright to fail sometimes, as long as I always give it my best.

Not everyone else in the class is so understanding.

“It’s not fair when you bring your spear from home to practice!” My least favorite classmate was starting to complain about my spear again. I’m pretty sure Eumulus would’ve stomped his foot if he had one, but like the other merpeople he only has a tail, so he just makes an angry face instead. “I bet you bring it just to show off. But no one cares about your stupid silver spear!”

“Shut up, Eumulus!” I wrapped my hands tight around the spear, even though I knew no one was going to take it away. “Triton says it’s alright for me to use it for spearing practice, so it’s none of your business! It doesn’t do anything special, it just looks different!” My spear is really important to me. I got it on my eighth birthday from Uncle Hades, but he told me in secret that my Father had helped design it too. It looks a lot like his trident, so whenever I use it, I think about him.

“You’re lying! It’s a weapon made by the gods, so it has to be special! Why can’t you just use one of the spears the school has?!” Eumulus could tell that he was making me mad, and he smirked.

Eumulus is the son of King Elasippus, the ruler of Atlantis, so I guess that makes him a prince, but all he acts like is a jerk. Sometimes I’d like to call him something even worse, but I got in trouble the last time when Triton overheard me.

“That’s enough, Eumulus,” Triton warned him. “We’ve talked about this before. All students are allowed to use a spear from home, and Aethusa’s is a normal weapon. Now take your seat and be quiet. I’m going to go over the rules.”

We sat down and made faces at each other once Triton had turned around. Eumulus is probably just mad that his dad won’t let him bring a fancy spear from home, even though they’re royalty.

Triton explained to us that today’s practice would be spear-throwing, and he demonstrated the best way to aim for the targets. After that, we split into groups to take turns at the targets. Eumulus wasn’t in my group, thankfully, but he was in the group next to us, which was almost as bad.

“For the daughter of Poseidon, you sure are a bad aim,” he taunted me as I tried to focus. “Last time you didn’t even hit half the targets.”

“Knock it off, Eumulus,” my friend Clymene snapped at him. “She’s trying to concentrate!”

“It won’t make a difference,” Eumulus laughed. His insults were making my blood boil again, and I missed the target in my anger. “See?”

I’d had enough. I retrieved my spear and got up close to his face. “I’ll spear you up close, and then my throwing aim won’t matter!”

“You won’t spear me! You’re a coward.” Eumulus looked scared at my threat, but his words were still nasty. “You’re so weak for the kid of an Olympian. Your aim sucks, and you can’t even control water or talk to fish. You don’t even look like you’re Poseidon’s daughter. Your mother’s probably a whor-”

I leapt at him, tearing at his hair. “Shut up! Shut up!” My angry tears bubbled around my eyes in the water. “Poseidon is my dad! You’re just jealous that your dad is a lame mortal king!” Eumulus cried out and tried to shove me off as I yanked on his hair. But I was stronger than him, and I was able to get a few scratches on his face before Triton darted over and pulled me away.

“That’s enough!” Triton scolded. He brushed both of us off and made sure we weren’t seriously hurt. “There will be absolutely no fighting in this class! Eumulus, go sit down at your desk. That was very cruel of you to say.” Once Eumulus had sulked away, he looked down at me. “Aethusa, what he said was unkind. I understand you’re upset. However, you can’t strike people for things they say, even when they upset you. I’ll have to speak to your parents, and Eumulus’, about what happened.” He sounded disappointed.

I rubbed my eyes, wanting my tears to stop. It was embarrassing to cry like that in front of the class, and now my parents were going to be told I’d attacked someone in class. What would they think? “I know. I’m sorry, Master Triton,” I mumbled. I blinked hard to clear my vision.

“Now, take a deep breath. Pick up your spear, and try again.” He gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

I sniffled and tried to calm myself down as I rejoined my group at the target. But despite the reassurances of Triton and my friends, I couldn’t forget Eumulus’ stinging words. He’d landed a blow on my deepest fear. Maybe the reason why I didn’t look like Father or have his powers was because… I wasn’t really his daughter after all.

My shoulders were slumped as I walked down the palace halls after school towards my room. Mom wouldn’t keep that a secret from me, though, would she? She’d never lie about Father being my father! And wouldn’t Father himself know, either way? Maybe I’m actually an orphan they took in, and that’s why Father never has time for me. He doesn’t want to take care of a kid that isn’t his. As much as I wanted to believe that Mom would never keep the truth from me, I also knew there were secrets that adults kept from kids. Just like every other child, I’d been told plenty of times that there were certain things I wasn’t ready to know about until I was older. Maybe this was one of those things.

I stood in the doorway of my bedroom, hugging my spear. Maybe something’s wrong with me. Maybe I am Father’s daughter, but there’s something keeping me from having the same abilities. As a nymph, Mom has a lot of the same powers as Father, just on a smaller scale. Just like him, she can talk to fish and move the water. All of her family members - my grandparents, aunts, and uncle - can too. Perhaps I was just born weak, doomed to never have the same cool powers as other water deities.

I stared down at my reflection on the spearhead’s smooth surface. Seeing my own sad face just made me feel worse, but then I had an idea. Maybe I just haven’t proved that I’m worthy yet. I probably haven’t been practicing as hard as I should be. Trying to spear fish in a pond was pretty pathetic. If I gave myself a good push, would that awaken my powers? But where could I find such an opportunity?

I could still feel the faint hum of power that came from the rune gate. I stepped back from the doorway and stared down the hall, mulling over my idea. I could still go through the gate to Midgard right now. I had a window of time every day that I was able to use the gate, ideally for school. I could go to the ocean outside of Atlantis and really put my skills to the test. Then I would know for sure if Poseidon was really my father, and if I was truly born a weakling or just unpracticed.

I ran back into my room and grabbed my satchel from its shelf. I scooped a few items that might prove useful inside and slipped it across my body before bolting back out towards the gate. If I hurried, no one would see me. Sure enough, the hallway was empty of any servants, and my quick escape to the gate went unnoticed.

I’ll prove myself, and then Eumulus will have no choice but to shut up once and for all. I gritted my teeth as I stepped onto the rune gate’s platform. The tingling purple energy the rune emitted felt even stronger than usual against my frazzled senses. “Midgard,” I commanded, in the same voice I heard my parents use.

And with that, I felt myself being swept back to the oceans of the mortal plane.

Author’s notes: Woohoo, Poseidon has a daughter! Or a maybe daughter? Naw, she is his kid. She’s just a silly ten year old who doesn’t know any better. lol

Her parents probably haven’t given her The Talk yet, so she doesn’t know how they could be sooo sure Poseidon is her dad. If she was older, he’d probably just tell her with a straight face, “I know because I was there when you were conceived.”

So I just really want you guys to appreciate the obvious art evolution with our sexy Aquaman here. Seriously. Look at how much more beautiful he’s become.

Like he was obviously handsome before, but now he is a certifiedheartbreaker and I’m weeping that the world has lost such a hot man. I can’t wait for the chapter to be translated!!

I….

GUYS I JUST CAN’T MORE POSEIDON HE SMILES.! HE’S SO MUCH MORE GENTLE LIKE WTF WE WERE SO WRONG HE’S SOOOOO YOU KNOW MY BRAIN IS MELTING POSEIDON BABY I LOVE YOUUUU
