What is the Coral Festival?
Tumblr media
(( In short — some species of merfolk experience a spike in gregariousness, sociability, fertility/virility, and attraction around the high tide and full moon of either late October or early November. This typically happens with the more spread out species, guaranteeing that they begin to gather together into a single place in larger numbers, and thus helping to improve genetic diversity.
In short, it's basically a heat or estrous cycle. That's all you really need to know.
There's more, too, since these aren't mammals we're talking about, and merfolk experience it differently than you might be typically used to, but that's the gist of it.
Since this is merfolk, and they're a sapient species with their own history and culture, and they all experience this at the same time, they usually make an event of it. Hence, Coral Festival, since merfolk especially connect it to the time when the coral spawns as well. The full name is Habp'll pl'qe ane'jhe Oikahj, which is what Miranda tends to call it, though I default to Coral Festival and Coral Season ( and sometimes Coral Madness, when Miranda especially feels frustrated and wants to complain about her own body, though this is much less "official" ). Miranda actually has a pretty good time of it, having a larger party at her castle for the entire duration, inviting the local High Royals and some of their friends, since she has good reason not to want her fellow Low Royals to be involved. There's food, good company, music, beds, and just about everything you could need for a nocturnal orgy every night for a week.
Every so often I've had her bring along other muses as guests, either being invited or wanting to come themselves, though Miranda tends not to just bring it up on a whim to her friends. Least of all because she's usually pretty distracted, mentally, although she's more "be friendly and sociable and just really want to bond with her friends and be friends with everyone" than how your typical "heat" might be written. There's also the factor of how the entire celebration is in the underwater portions of her castle, and typically solely remains there, which means her land friends need to figure out some way to breathe water to join. However, it also presents some unique lore, and represents one of the few chances other muses have to talk to just normal merfolk, who aren't a part of the royal courts and at most have control of a town or two.

I'm really over all this weird hate Lin Manuel Miranda has started getting. Like, he's not perfect, some of his work is very phoned in just for a paycheck or part of a contract, and yeah he should be criticized for the times he's fumbled or worse about racism, but a lot of the criticism this website is throwing at him is just off the mark. Like, you absolutely cannot deny the impact he's had on theater, Pop Culture, recent music, etc.; Of course, people do try and minimize or flat out deny any impact he's had, and they flat out have to lie or misrepresent reality to do it. Hamilton, while obviously worthy of its criticism, definitively made an impact with race blind casting and emphasizing diversity; It's not fully his fault Disney remakes saw people liked race-blind casting once and decided all their remakes have it now regardless of the legitimate criticisms he got from it. Speaking of remakes, a lot of Tumblr people hating on him hard-core right now are specifically hating on him in relation to the Little Mermaid remake, and... I hate to defend it, but Tumblr should really understand by now that not everyone is hating on an admittedly bad remake for the same reason, and in this case a lot of them are hating on it for very obviously racist reasons, and yet because they share a hate for LMM, people just reblog without looking, and now tons of Leftist or Progressive Tumblrs are regularly reblogging Lite to big time racist/fascist Tumblrs. Like, come on, isn't this website the one where everyone was all smug about not falling for "obvious" Right Wing Pipelines? Look, they guy is earnest and imperfect, and I've never really cared about him before now, simply because I recognized the flagrantly stupid "He WaS nEvEr GoOd" takes and recognized the pipeline that was coming because of Little Mermaid. He's just a guy who made it big and kinda gets used a lot, and who works a lot because he likes music and really doesn't want to do anything that could mess up his dream projects; So he takes on some subpar projects for cash or because he's contractually obligated to, so many actors and artists do that, at least he still tries to make it fun. And, in regards to a lot of common criticism, he seems to genuinely be learning and actually trying to better himself and better showcase diversity and darker skinned characters in his work, he's trying which is a whole lot more than honestly most; He seemed to genuinely think the policies he supported for Puerto Rico would help but now he shows regret for supporting things that hurt it. Honestly, he's handling going from "hero of diverse storytelling and music who tries to help more diverse creativies" to "literally as bad as a fascist while also justifying people being racist towards him and calling it progressive" better than most would.

@royalreef​ asked: The act of pulling up a chair beside Vera is so familiar that it almost becomes mundane. Like hearing wind outside, or the rustle of leaves on the ground, or the heating kick on. It's familiar, traced over and over again until all the edges turn smooth. The wheels roll against the ground, and her claws click against the floor, and not for a moment is it not entirely obvious who it is that's joined Vera.
She gets close, close as she can, but she doesn't yet reach out. She wants to. Her body aches with a want for touch, for a demand to feel Vera's fingers trace her lateral line. The sensation, the warmth that isn't warmth, makes her shift in her seat. Makes her lean forward. But she doesn't yet touch Vera, no matter how much she keeps awkwardly shuffling in her seat, trying to find relief that wouldn't come for nearly a month.
There's a box in her hands. Giftbox, flat, wrapped up in a scaled leather and a big golden ribbon tied around its edges. She hasn't handed it to Vera yet, but there's not exactly a mystery about who it's for.
She smells sharply sweet, almost like cinnamon. A strange scent, one that sticks to the roof of the mouth and nearly stings, in that odd pleasant way, and one Vera would have known before now. Miranda always gets this way around this time of year.
She just normally doesn't talk about it.
"Vera," she starts slowly, awkwardly, tongue quickly tangling itself in knots. It feels like it should be impossible, for Miranda, of all people, to stumble over her own words, but still it happens. She has to speak slowly, carefully, lest more come out than she wants to. "How would you feel about... perhaps, visiting by my castle, during early November? My people have a holiday within that time, and I would love for you to join me. It will last around five days, and... I thought it would be beneficial, for you to be able to plan ahead."
Vera doesn’t even react to Miranda pulling up a chair beside her at first, though the very slight turn of her lips makes it apparent she is indeed aware. She’s busying herself, as usual, with work. Rapid keystrokes across laptop, getting things ready for the Halloween festivities that will take place this year at her establishments and getting the work started on the other notable holidays. A slight glance from digital to the paper ones, to compare she’s gotten everything right, before she rapidly returns to her work. 
And, ah, there’s that sweetness that makes her hesitate a brief moment, before her work continues. It’s something that always comes this time of year for Miranda, a foretelling of when she’ll inevitably disappear sometime soon. It’s not something she’d given much thought to any other year. It does make her brow furrow slightly now that the idea has been put closer to the forefront of her thoughts, about if she should bring it up. To see if things would be brought to more light now that they’re in a proper relationship. 
Vera planned to do just that, yes, as she finished the last bit she could for this. A good time for a pause. And, of course, that’s when she heard the other start. Listening, careful, when Miranda of all people is having trouble putting things into proper words. It’s enough for her to scooch the laptop away and give more full attention to Miranda now. How even her snakes heads tilt somewhat at the topic. It explains why she left already, if there was a holiday that time of year, but to join...
Tumblr media
“I’d be delighted to join you, love. Thank you for informing me, I’ll be sure to clear up my schedule in advance...” A week’s worth of time, yes, just to be on the safe side. With a month’s notice, it shouldn’t be an issue to shuffle things to clear that space out.
A slight tilt of her own head now as she considered; leaving it clear there was a question left unsaid. If Miranda disappeared, it’s not unreasonable to assume that it was a proper merfolk thing, and the many issues that would come from someone like her trying to get involved... Vera did not speak up, quite yet, for she was fairly sure her fears of the more physical issues may be abated shortly. If not, she could press anyways.

𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒆𝒅 | for @afraidofchange​ ( miranda ) 
Tumblr media
              𝒓𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕 to pull back. it’s not bitterness or former revulsion towards the xo that bars her from pushing further; it’s the initial resistance she’s been met with that sobers her up. true, she hadn’t enjoyed miranda’s company or presence since boarding the normandy. but somewhere along the lines of nearly dying time and time again as they head towards certain death, that dislike is chipped away and makes room for vulnerability. seeing the so called paradigm of perfection break formation and twist under pressure of fear, just like any other crew member on this ship. seeing her obvious discomfort on pragia, which later grows with each mention of rory’s own cerberus experience. it humanizes her in ways rory hadn’t expected. and rory realizes miranda’s been as much a victim to cerberus’ tactics as anyone aboard this ship is. maybe she thinks that’s where they stand, on common ground, and the mutual situation would give a little way for more. 
Tumblr media
              but miranda holds her at arm’s length like she was poison, somehow. and rory blinks owlishly up at her, still trying to reconcile the whirlwind of how she carried herself into miranda’s office and where she was now. ❝ yeah ... ❞  rory responds, wiping her thumb at her own lower lip as her face fills with warmth. it’s as gently as anyone could be let down but it’s still delicate. she already tries to turn to leave ... but miranda’s hold on her arms doesn’t relent. instead they’re very much still facing each other, shoulders rising and falling subtly as they both force their breaths to a slower rate. rory’s not sure which direction to move in, but her head tilts at miranda’s words, almost in complete confusion as she begins shaking it. 
              ❝ who said anything about emotions ? ❞  she asks slowly,  ❝ that’s not what i’m here for. but ... if you want me to leave, i’ll leave. just say the words.❞

You are SO not invited to my Oscar party
Hollywood is like high school with money. It’s a funny old expression that at this point seems a little too easy, if not reductive.  Sure, there are a lot of mean girls and guys in the entertainment industry that like to punch their power and wealth right between the eyes of all those they deem below them.  That is to say, the rest of us.  And these types don’t necessarily all live in…

       Behold, a merfolk, who is used to merfolk stamina and endurance, and for whom the statement ‘fuck her so hard that she can’t walk’ has an ENTIRELY different connotation.
