Lantern Plankton Migration
Nereus x Reader
Tumblr media
(Y/n) shot Flora a withering look, not to be combated with Flora’s famous puppy eyes. But (Y/n) held her ground…For ten seconds.
“Fine! I’ll go to the stinking party!” (Y/n) caved, throwing her arms in the air.
Flora cheered, choosing to ignore (Y/n)’s next comment “Who knew that zooplankton migration was Andros’ version of summer solstice…” 
“I’m so glad you're coming! No one else can, other than Aisha. And I’ll get to show you off as the newest member of the winx club!” Flora said excitedly.
“And here I was hoping to have a quiet Saturday after all that Trix nonsense…” (Y/n) said grumbling, but couldn’t help the smile that shone through. “Well, at least it’ll be a fun Saturday with my BFF!” (Y/n) said, jumping into the excitement right along Flora.
“Right?! And I have the perfect outfits for us!” Gushed Flora.
“Oh, is it…?” (Y/n) said, hyping her best friend up. Pointing to a certain set of outfits in Flora’s closet.
“You guessed it! We’re splitting the co-ords!” Flora squeed. 
“YAAS! But I call dibs on using the top.” (Y/n) said, and grinned with mock cunning.
“Aww…so mean.” Flora said with false disappointment.
And that’s how the girls showed up to the party. (Y/n) wore a flutter sleeve tube top with a tropical floral pattern and a pair of white high-waisted shorts. While Flora was rocking a maxi skirt of the same pattern, with a slit to the mid-thigh and a black lettuce edge crop top. Aisha came swayed over to the girls,
“Well, well, don’t you look like a pair of baddies!” She said, hugging both girls. “So glad you guys came.”
Flora gave nothing but a smile, (Y/n) laughing “Like we would miss it! Plus Flora threw those puppy eyes at me… Can’t ever say no to that.”
The girls all laughed at (Y/n)s’ little joke. Aisha turned towards the moon pool in the center of her family's pavilion walking (Y/n) and Flora over to greet her cousins.
“You haven’t met my cousins yet have you (Y/n)?” Asked Aisha as they made their way over.
“Can’t say I have, I was in Linphea College during that whole ocean… fiasco.” (Y/n) said, shrugging. Waving her arms around a bit when mentioning the betrayal of Tritannus.
“Well you’ll get to meet them now!” Aisha said as the girls got to the pool, turning and gesturing to two of the mer-people within the moon pool “Hey guys! I know you know Flora, but we have a brand new member of the winx club! This is (Y/n).” She said, presenting (Y/n) to the merman and mermaid. (Y/n) smiled and gave a little wave. “(Y/n), these are my cousins Tressa, and Nereus!” Aisha said pointing to the mermaid, and merman respectively.
“OH! So you’re fishlips’ brother!” (Y/n) said before she could stop herself. Seeing Nereus and Tressas’ confused glances she continued “Sorry, little nickname I gave him during Flora and I’s talks. So sorry about that whole thing by the way, it must have been devastating for you three. I just wished he didn’t get pushed to that point, ya know?” (Y/n) said a bit melancholy.
Nereus gave a solemn nod in agreement. Her sentiments (and playful insult) instantly endeared (Y/n) to him.
Tressa decided to lighten the mood, “Ah, it’s all in the past now… Come on! the lantern plankton are about to arrive!” She said diving into the moon pool.
Aisha and Flora transforming into their sirenix forms and diving in after her, Nereus hesitated with (Y/n). Waiting patiently to follow after her.
“What’s the matter?” asked Nereus when (Y/n) made no moves to enter the moon pool.
“Would now be a bad time to mention that I don’t have any spells to help me breathe underwater?” (Y/n) said, gesturing towards the pool where her friends disappeared.
Nereus laughed, it was a little funny to see someone so confident get nervous so quickly. 
“Here, stay next to me. I think I’ve got something for that.” Nereus said gently, pulling (Y/n) into the water.
(Y/n) chose not to protest, even though her clothes were getting wet. She was curious to see what the ocean prince would do. Nereus gently placed his arm around (Y/n)'s waist, amazed at her immediate trust in him, wondering aloud.
“You trust quickly,” he said.
“Oh no I don’t! But Flora trusts you.” (Y/n) said her expression turning serious “Which means you're someone worth putting at least a little faith in.” (Y/n) said, instantly returning back to her lighthearted teasing.
Nereus felt his cheeks warm a bit at the statement. He wasn’t sure why, since most people he knew praised his good character. But hearing from (Y/n), who was such a bombastic and friendly person herself, made it feel like guppies were swimming around in his gut. Realizing that (Y/n) had been patiently waiting for him for a bit he hurriedly placed an underwater breathing spell on her. Tucking her to his side and swimming her into the open water. Which made (Y/n) realize something about the spell rather quickly…
“You jerk! Ya could’a told me that the spell keeps you dry!” said (Y/n) playfully, slapping Nereus on the arm.
“Oh, my apologies! I guess I don’t really consider these sorts of things…” Nereus said, cheeks flaming with embarrassment.
(Y/n) couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth trying to hide her smile. “Relax, I’m not actually mad. Now come on, take me to this plankton march… thing.” she said,
“The lantern zooplankton migration?” Nereus said, raising a playful quizzical eyebrow. 
He wasn’t used to people talking so relaxed with him, being a crown prince and all. But he was enjoying it. (Y/n) brought out a playful side to him that he hadn’t had since his brother's banishment.
(Y/n) just rolled her eyes with a laugh, allowing Nereus to swim her to the observation area. Meeting up with Aisha, Flora, and Tressa. They talked until the plankton appeared. It was a beautiful sight, it was like glowing living smoke. The colors shifted with the twists and turns of the zooplankton colony. Everyone was quiet with awe, the occasional sounds of wonder murmuring through the crowd at a particular color shift or swirl of the plankton.
Then something amazing happened, while the rest of the spectators with a large swath of the lantern plankton, a small arm of the colony meandered it’s way to (Y/n). Swirling around her (Y/n) reached out to them, playing with the little creatures pushing them to and fro. Nereus gazed at her, smitten. It was like an aquatic halo of multicolored light surrounded (Y/n), highlighting all her glorious features. Nereus could only equate what he was witnessing, to the magnetic beauty of a siren. Her light hearted genuine laughter was music to his ears. Nereus was bewitched by her, body and soul. Only the lantern plankton hurrying back to their migration was what returned him from his stupor. The tail end of the colony disappears into the ocean waters, causing the spectators to return to their homes.
The swim back to the party was a jovial one. Aisha gushed about (Y/n) and the lantern plankton, since it was something that no one had ever seen before. (Y/n) described how wonderful it felt to be amongst such amazing creatures. And it wasn’t until the trio of girls started making their good-byes that Nereus realized he might not see (Y/n) again for quite some time. It was now or never.
(Y/n) heard Nereus call her over, when got closer to him he waved her down to his level. However when (Y/n) leaned down, she felt lips on her cheek and heard a splash.
“Nereus! I’m so gonna get you back for that!”

I gotta say King Neptune is kind of a douchebag. I would have loved to watch the Tritannus-Neptune-Nereus drama unfold in its full glory if it wasn't so glossed over in the show. King Neptune was obviously playing favorites and didn't even bother with Tritannus. The attention Nereus was getting had a lot of impact on Tritannus' developing inferiority complex not helped by his shitty excuse of a father. So, how does season 5 deal with such juicy drama? It doesn't. Nope, Tritannus turns both of them into monsters and that's it.

Yellow roxy because there isn't a yellow Winx (Stella is Orange not yellow)
Yah I dunno why some people assume stella is yellow when she's orange.
I figure Daphne can fill in for yellow/gold based on her nymph form. never liked the mint.

Next up everybody's favorite Archangel! I want to avoid "White = good" showing beauty goes beyond WASPy, evangelical standards. He can be read as afro/SWANA depending on the viewer.

While i liked the 2011 superbook one of my biggest gripes with it is how every angel was just white, blond haired blue eyed. So i wanted to depict Michael differently from traditional depictions, to demonstrate how anyone can be an angel.

Velvette and moesha i get the feeling velvette is what moesha can be if she continue to be a mean girl. Not only the similarities on their race but moesha give me the ick of girl who only protect someone she like. It's sound cruel but velvette is antagonist someone who are free to liked or disliked. Moesha we are expected to root for her yet we don't we rooting for her downfall
Never seen moesha but I can see it

Awful news.
But I think Octavia is gonna be villainized after I heard Blitzo's voice actor called her a 'slut' and a 'cockblocker' against Stolitz.
I repeat. A 17 yr old teenager, who is going through emotional and mental trauma due to her parents' fight and divorce...is a villain for not liking and supporting her father and the cheating relationship he is in???
This whole show is a joke. Scratch that. It's a whole circus!!! And not a funny one at that!!
Brandon was Joking but it still in pretty bad taste. Like i said hazbinverse will encouraged hate towards female characters for havibg realistic/compled reactions but gas up male characters and the fandom eats it right up. To think ppl have more sympathy for that featherball jock than a teenage girl is mindbogggling

Let's see different character that being shipped with danny
Octavia from helluva boss
Kat elliot from wendell and wild
Now those two are definitely far much more better love interest for danny and they are the same age as him. Kat elliot she have experience being bullied and she have supernatural power. I get the feeling she & danny don't immediately click with one another but soon they begin to trust each other. Octavia and danny share one similarity both of their parent are neglectful atleast for danny his parent is not pos, octavia her father is cheater and abuser her mother is an abuser. Danny is curious about this owl girl, octavia is goth unlike with sam octavia will be far much more better activist. The episode seeing stars danny is not gonna tell octavia to cut stolas some slack instead he validate her feeling. Octavia can be great ally for danny if he need any help about ghost or spirit. I'm gonna say it both kat and octavia are like the much more better version of sam & valerie
It's sad when characters outside DP work better for Danny than his canonical (and fanon) choices, his only options are grown people and bullies yuck
You know who i ship with danny? XJ9.

The biggest crime Disney commited was that instead of making a series they produced that sequel of Atlantis.
So much potential wasted.
The sequel was the series it was a compilation movie of episodes that could've been. I would love to see disney revisit atlantis again it needs to invest in more past works instead of milking the same movies.

Is anyone here tired seeing depiction of lucifer as evil? Whether he have depth or not i'm just so tired seeing that. So lucifer series and lucifer hazbin hotel, lucifer obey me offer something more different. I'm not christian but seeing people depicted christian god as evil tyrant or dictator is kinda annoying. So why don't someone make where lucifer and christian god getting along despite the differences? Whether the relationship as friend family etc go ahead. Lucifer never have any beef with god he just don't see eye to eye on some thing so they part away. Won't that be interesting to see?
It offer more nuance it gave us morally grey and complexity between those two
Yeah i guess but i think lot of morally grey depictions tend to leave out the part of his jealousy towards humanity. Like he gets along with us too easy? I think it be fun to see a lucifer begrudgingly hang out with humans!
