@singofus whispered : Dystonia approaches mother in a humanoid form and wraps their arms around her. They have seen how much longing their mortal self has for this interaction, and so it has made them wish for a hug from their mother in this form all the more.
𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 . 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 . 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒚 . 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 . the flavors and sensations of her eldest's aura wash over her , her eyes growing wider in mirrored distress . is this how they are feeling ? how can she help ?
she rises from her garden bed , dirt on her bare knees , her hands dusting each other off as the small nicks and cuts heal themselves in record time . she is … surprised , to see them venturing towards her in a humanoid form . their upset must not be too much — she has no doubt they would resemble a much different form should that be the case .
more teeth ; more ink ; less sanity .
she coos softly as she feels the upset shift to desperation aimed at her , followed by relief as they connect . tan arms wrap around her child , pulling them closer as she lets them take comfort from her . she tilts her head so they can bury their face into her shoulder , tall as they are .
maggie has some suspicions as to why dys is upset , but they can tell her in their own time . they are one of her more sensitive ones ; she won't push where they may not want to be pushed .
( in this , at least . )
“ miss me ? ” she murmurs , as if her realm experiences any celestial light brighter than starlight , around the clock . “ or did you have a long night ? ”
her own aura is wrapped around them , warm wings of protective love .
When would be the first time that little Maggie begins to trust Ariadne? What is their eventual familial relationship like? (Ari loves her so much)
ohhh the first time maggie really begins to trust ariadne would be probably around when she's starting to hit that early puberty , changes are beginning to happen and i feel like crying all the damn time , era . because she needs a woman who gets it - hermes & pan , love them to death , but they aren't really that helpful .
ari ( and dio , but this isn't about him ) have lived through this process before and can approach with empathetic experience , not just sympathetic words . it helps immensely that ari takes what she says seriously , as was established when maggie was younger .
maggie feels listened to , and not just because she's being funny or commanding attention . ari teaches maggie that her words , desires , and experiences are worth respecting and showing even when it is not rooted in entertaining others . especially when it's not rooted in entertaining others . ari helps maggie find her voice .
i think , opposed to pan , maggie can't sub ari in as her mother . because she has those memories — she sees her mother every time she looks in the mirror , ffs — and she can't shake them . she knows where she came from .
but ari , to use a meme , isn't the stepmom ( duh ) but rather the mom who stepped up . and so while maggie calls her aunty ari , and that is her relation , she also is using aunty in the way one would give respect to an older woman , regardless of relationship .
as maggie grows into an adult , especially after her rehab and in-patient experiences , she circles back to ari , ready to actually internalize her lessons and teachings .
and , most importantly , to finally feel worthy of such things .
upon more thought , what if her father was an anachronastic quic.ksilver-esque character . someone who was on a mission through time , stopped to mess around , and accidentally made a child with someone who would later join the brotherhood with ma.gneto . maybe the character only seems fast , but he's really bending time ? small wormholes just for him to mess around with ?
her mother's telepathy was strongest with animals and illusions ; she specialized in making people firmly believe they were animals , down to movements , habits , and mannerisms . maybe she's more powerful if she uses a particular plant that allows her to manipulate reality ; literally turning people into animals .
this would give maggie the softball set up to be connected to portals & travel ( through her father ) + illusions & substance use ( through her mother ) .

ZENDAYA COLEMAN The Zendaya x Boohoo Edit
▌real name: magissa. ▌single or taken: married to hypnos. ▌abilities or powers: aura reading & manipulation , illusions ( regardless of if someone is under a substance's influence or not ) , transmutation ( like mother , like daughter ) , phyllokinesis ( especially fungi & thorned plants ) , pyrokinesis ( limited , but taking after both helios & zeus as grandfathers ) & toxikinesis ( the ability to manipulate plant based toxins and poisons ; she herself is immune to most poisons and venoms ) .
▌eye color: hawk yellow ( like her mother ) . ▌hair color: dark brown 3a/3b , around shoulder length ( to mid-back if straightened ) .
▌family members: hermes ( father ) & circe ( mother ) ; pan ( brother by hermes ) & telegonus ( brother by circe ) ; dystonia & atonia ( eldest twins ) + dysalyo & kaluciyo ( youngest twins ) . from there , things get messy and interwoven , as is to be expected of greek gods . ▌pets: romeo , her beloved black cat !! she practices regular necromancy on him to keep him alive , centuries after first finding him as a kitten . after her deification , romeo basically lives in subliminal with her , but ventures to the mortal world every so often .
▌something they don’t like: deer . she is completely freaked out by deer , mostly because of their capacity for diseases . but any and all deer are off limits to her . ▌hobbies/activities: traveling , bar crawls , tarot , working on her poison garden , baking custom desserts for loved ones , designing tattoos , napping . ▌ever hurt anyone before: yes ; emotionally & psychically , though physically is heavily verse dependent . ▌ever killed anyone before: very verse dependent ; typically no .
▌animal that represents them: foxes , hares , ( some ) venomous serpents . ▌worst habits: self-loathing , carrying & worshiping untended guilt , substance (ab)use ▌role models: ariadne , nerisei ( pan's wife ) , hermes , & nyx .
▌sexual orientation: bisexual . ▌thoughts on marriage/kids: for the longest time , maggie did not believe it was for her . she had too much baggage from her own childhood to consider bringing life into this world ; not to mention , she thought she was infertile for much of her life . she put the thought of children & marriage far from her notice . her dalliances & flings were just that ; nothing that could have become substantial . then she met hypnos , & died , & became a goddess , & got married , & much of that was a dream come true ( literally ) . children were a possibility all of a sudden ; when she found out she was pregnant , she made a promise to herself to never embody the cruelty and distance her mother had given to her . & now , being a mother and wife is her greatest joy . oh , the fear still exists ; there are moments she opens her mouth and her mother's venom threatens to spill over . but she has put so much work in that she has more faith in herself than to give in .
▌fears: becoming her mother , abandonment , neglect , not measuring up , & , once again , deer . ▌style preferences: maggie dressed with whatever was in style at the time , often on the more masc side for casual wear , & femme for fancier dress . she slept in “ your dad is my cardio ” t-shirts with shorts that said “ enemy of the state ” on the ass . when she died , she was dressed like romeo from the 90s version with leonardo dicaprio . since becoming a goddess , she does dress a little more upscale , a little more calmed down ; & has passed some of those articles of clothing to her children . she prefers comfort , over expectation , but can dress as a queen should . ▌someone they love: triple h ; hermes , hypnos , & her children . she's come so far to have the ability to openly love them & trust that when they say they love her , they mean it . they are her home base , the six souls she would do anything — too much — for .
▌approach to friendships: she's outgoing , friendly , amiable , will go the extra mile for others who matter to her ; but she is also not someone to trust easily . i think a lot of people in her life considered them friends , while she had them at arms length . these days she's getting better at truly letting people in , but her interesting disdain for hierarchy plus recently healing ability to trust others means where she's looking for friends comes in strange places .
▌thoughts on pie: excellent choice of dessert . ▌favorite drink: seasonal coffee & we're in pumpkin spice season now so … that . ▌favorite place to spend time at: anywhere her loved ones are / her poison garden . ▌swim in the lake or in the ocean: the ocean , she feels off balance when she swims and there's no salty aftertaste . ▌their type: “ date a dork ” + tragic backstories & humor & height differences ( and she's 5'10" so they need to be properly tall ) + “ i can do it myself ” & “ i know you can but let me ” + feral in complimentary ways + approachable , sleepy hot + caregiver energy ( help her heal ) + warm . ▌camping or indoors: again, wherever her loved ones are !!

erebus , 21xx .
maggie looks up at the first call from her child - a softer , hazier quality to the swirling , bubbling aura - daughter , as she runs in . it takes her a second to think back , over a century and with the drugs in her system it felt even longer , but soon the memories come to her .
meadow , a sweet girl from a blank void of a background , something maggie surely did appreciate . she was always down for a good time , loved music , loved love , and really loved maggie's fun little tabs , infused with a certain degree of intention .
maybe maggie had been casting spells after all .
she had thought a serial killer had gotten to her , honestly . but - wait .
“ well that's very sweet of her to say !! how did you two meet , anyway ? is she a shade , like , what's she up to ? i haven't seen her in a long time . ”
they didnt give him more backstory bc they knew he'd be too powerful narratively😔

@singofus asked : Kal is grinning from ear to ear and comes in with a cake box that's clumsily tied with a bow. He is just a tad high but just so excited. "Mom! I made you this." He holds the box out. Inside is a handmade chocolate cake with lots of chocolate icing and the words 'best mom in the universe' on it. Universe curving around the edge of the cake to fit, clearly he underestimated how much space it would take up. ⇢ magissa ﹠ kaluciyo

maggie looks up as her youngest crashes through the kitchen revolving door , simultaneously delicately holding something . her heart warms at the playful swirling nature of his aura . she lets hers bloom and swirl in tandem , the equivalent of cupping his cheeks as she looks down at the cake .
she puts both her hands over her chest , looking up at kal with nothing short of love and gratitude .
“ is this what you were doing in the kitchen that required me to leave ? “ she asks , gently taking the cake from him and setting it on the counter . ” this is lovely kali-boy , thank you . shall we have some ? "
she may be already planning a treat basket in return for him .

@singofus asked : ❰❰ SAVE ❱❱ sender saves receiver’s life ⇢ magissa ﹠ hypnos
new orleans , 193x .
she's walking from her coven's shotgun house to hypnos' part of the estate , wanting to be with him . it's not the shortest walk in the city , but she hates having to rely on carriages and cars when she could just get by on her own . she'd done it plenty back home , and she can do it here .
she's also thrumming with energy and power from the new moon ritual they'd done . while it's not the most replenishing part of the cycle , it is an excellent time for planting ideas in the dark , and watching them spread . she's hopeful for changes , if they aim their hexes right .
damn politicians . damn depression . damn wars .
she cuts through the french quarter , towards their territory , wanting to feel a little less like she's being watched . of course she is , a young woman alone in the wee hours of the morning , but she doesn't see any colors to indicate sound . whoever it is , whatever it is , isn't moving .
or is moving too fast for her to hear .
stupidly , naively , feeling the rumble of the river nearby and all the life she can pull from it , she stops .
listening , watching .
then , too fast for her to comprehend , there's an explosion of black-white jagged edges and the sensation of wind across her face . she falls back - was she pushed ? - and feels a stinging at her neck . she reaches up , trembling fingers touching the point of pain and coming back bloodied .
claws ? teeth ? she can't see , so she doesn't know .
a pale hand is offered to her abruptly . she blinks as she looks up , already taking the hand , intimately familiar already . beyond hypnos is the slumped form of the would-be vampire attacker , who had gone for her throat before being stopped by hypnos .
she very well could have died .
the realization makes her cling to hypnos tighter , feeling much safer in his grasp . now comes the political questions - is it because she's a witch , or because she's his witch that made her a target ? was she just easy prey ? there are drunks in every hotel , surely that would be easier . why come here , near a church , after following her for several blocks , just to attack ?
so many questions , but the most relevant one sticks out to her . she tilts her head , revealing the wound to hypnos .
“ can you close it ? ” she asks in a quiet voice .
