To our dearest loves,

Sometimes, we sit in silence just thinking about how lucky we are to have you both. And honestly, it still feels unreal. What did we do to deserve this kind of love? The kind that doesn’t walk away when things get tough. The kind that sees our messy parts and stays anyway. We still don’t have the right words to explain just how much you mean to us, but we’ll try.

From the very beginning, just the smallest bit of your attention made our hearts flutter. Every little smile, every sweet message, every “how are you?” they never go unnoticed. You two make us feel seen, understood, and safe. The kind of safe where we don’t have to pretend. The kind of love that makes the world feel a little less scary.

We know these past few days maybe even weeks have been hard. There were moments when we didn’t even understand ourselves, and yet you stood by us, patiently holding our hands through the chaos. We’re sorry for the parts of us that were hard to love. For the times we shut down or got overwhelmed. But through all of that, you never treated us like we were too much. You never made us feel alone. Instead, you offered us soft words, warm hugs, and a place to rest.

Solarias, our Sun,

You are brighter than you know. We see it in the way you care, even when you’re hurting. In the way you stay, even when we push. We’ve seen you try so hard to give love, even when you feel like you don’t deserve it. But to us, you deserve all the love this universe has to offer. You’ve pulled us back when we drifted, like the sun that keeps everything in place. You hold us close, not with force, but with light, with love, with patience. Your presence heals us, even when you don’t realize it.

Q, our Knight in shining armor

You fight battles no one else sees, yet you still find the strength to protect and care for others. You’ve shown us that vulnerability isn’t weakness it’s strength in its purest form. You remind us that crying is brave, that needing someone isn’t something to be ashamed of. You let us hold you, trust us with your softness, and that means everything to us. Please know this, our arms will always be open for you. We’ll listen when your voice shakes. We’ll stay when your world feels too heavy. You don’t have to go through anything alone.

You both make us believe in love again. In the kind that doesn’t fade when things get hard. The kind that holds on through every storm. We didn’t expect to find this kind of connection—maybe we were too used to being left behind, too used to believing we weren’t enough. But now, we see love differently. You both showed us that we are enough. That we are worth loving. That we are worth staying for.

So thank you for choosing us. For loving us in ways we never thought possible. For showing up, even when it was hard. We love you more than these words can say. And we’ll keep showing you, every day, in every small and big way we can.

With all the love in our hearts.

I love you both so much."

And yes I will keep bragging about that, But on a serious note, I never thought someone will care so much for me, I never thought an actual Grim reaper would be the one taking care of me, Making sure I eat and sleep, I never thought I would be loved, And I am thankful to meet you, There's no regret to it, I love you...Casper."

My loves… We honestly don’t even know how to begin this, because words could never fully carry everything We feel for you both. But We'll try Our best—because you deserve every word, every feeling, every bit of love We have in Us.

One month may seem like a short time to others, but to us, it feels like a whole lifetime wrapped in love, laughter, and little moments We already treasure.

Solarias, you are the light that warms our coldest nights—you are our Sun. When we feel lost or tired, you shine so brightly that we remember who we are and why we keep going. Just like the Sun brings life to everything it touches, you bring joy, comfort, and meaning to our world.

And Q, my heart sings when we think of you. You’re one of a kind—so special, so beautifully unique that we sometimes find ourself smiling for no reason, just because we remembered something you said or how you made me feel. You make us feel seen, heard, and loved in a way we never thought possible.

We've always thought of ourselves as the Moon—quiet, maybe a little shy, but full of love to give. And having both of you as our Suns... it’s more than we could’ve ever dreamed. You brighten us, you make us glow even in darkness. We orbit around your love, drawn to your warmth like tides to the shore.

Sometimes We lie awake and think about all the days us and you still have ahead of us—the talks we’ll have, the laughs we’ll share, the love that will only grow deeper as time passes. I imagine us someday, old and gray, still holding each other close, still choosing each other every day. And we feel so happy, so full, knowing We get to share this love with you both.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing Us. Thank you for making this Moon feel loved by A Sun.

I love you, always. Happy first monthsary.

GRRR

I fuck with the Nerites/Poseidon ship not because I like old man/young man (really not my thing sorry Ganymede) but more on because I headcanon Nerites as only a bit younger than his Nereid sisters (5 years max) Since Hesiod never mentioned his age, only that he’s the youngest child of Doris and Nereus.

Nerites and Poseidon creating Anteros or Mutual Love makes Amphitrite/Poseidon/Nerites an interesting dynamic (even if its non existent in mythological text). Amphitrite obviously doesn’t want Nerites in her marriage bed (see the myth of Scylla) but that’s her brother, so of course it’s complicated.

Also, Nerites capturing the attention of not one, not two, but THREE gods (aphrodite, poseidon, helios) is such a flex even if he turns into a shellfish at the end (I like to think Poseidon does turn him back but not before laughing his ass off).

[sk3pticillusions]

Hell yea

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let's talk about Nerites and Poseidon. The myth of Poseidon and Nerites is one of the more obscure stories from Greek mythology, but it stands out as a deeply emotional and intriguing tale that highlights a different side of Poseidon—one that is rarely explored. Poseidon is usually depicted as the tempestuous god of the sea, known for his anger, destructive power, and relentless pursuit of lovers. But in the case of Nerites, we see a much gentler, almost tender version of the god, one who is capable of love that isn’t about conquest or dominance. This myth, though not as widely known, offers a refreshing perspective on Poseidon and the complexities of divine relationships.

Nerites was a sea god known for his unparalleled beauty. Living in the depths of the ocean, he attracted Poseidon’s attention. What makes this story different from many of Poseidon’s other romantic pursuits is the element of choice and mutual respect. Poseidon was so enchanted by Nerites that he offered him the chance to join him as his charioteer on Mount Olympus, effectively offering him immortality and a higher status among the gods. This is significant because, unlike other myths where Poseidon is forceful or demanding, here he offers something to Nerites. There’s an implicit respect for Nerites’ autonomy that stands out in the broader landscape of Greek mythology.

Nerites, however, declines Poseidon’s offer. Whether it was because he didn’t want to leave the ocean or because of a deeper emotional connection to his life in the sea, we don’t know. But the fact that Nerites chose to stay is important—it shows that love doesn’t always mean ascent to power or higher status. Nerites was content in his life as it was, and Poseidon, despite being a god who could have easily forced his will, allows him to make this choice. This sets their relationship apart from many other god-mortal dynamics, where the god typically exerts control. The fact that Poseidon doesn’t punish Nerites for his refusal is remarkable—there’s no act of vengeance or anger, which would be typical of Greek gods who are often portrayed as vengeful when spurned. Instead, Poseidon accepts Nerites’ decision, which speaks to a deeper emotional maturity and connection in their relationship.

The tragic end of the story adds a layer of poignancy that makes it all the more memorable. In one version of the myth Helios, the sun god, becomes jealous of Nerites’ beauty and transforms him into a sea snail. This act of jealousy by another god emphasizes how desirable and important Nerites was, not just to Poseidon but in the divine world as a whole. Even after this transformation, Poseidon remains connected to Nerites, and it’s implied that Nerites continues to live in the sea, in some form, forever tied to the ocean and, by extension, to Poseidon.

What’s so compelling about this story is how it subverts many of the expectations we have about Poseidon. In most myths, Poseidon’s relationships are marked by violence, aggression, or manipulation. But with Nerites, we see a god who is in love, not with the idea of domination, but with someone’s beauty and spirit. He doesn’t force Nerites into a role he doesn’t want—he offers and respects the choice made. The tenderness of this story, coupled with the tragedy of Nerites’ eventual transformation, makes it stand out in Greek mythology as a rare example of Poseidon’s vulnerability and affection.

Additionally, the myth of Poseidon and Nerites introduces a same-sex relationship within the Greek pantheon that doesn’t get nearly the recognition it deserves. Many of Poseidon’s other relationships overshadow this one, but the connection between him and Nerites adds depth to Poseidon’s character and challenges the more traditional portrayals of masculinity and power among the gods. In a mythological landscape that often focuses on heterosexual pairings or uses same-sex relationships as a way to emphasize power dynamics, Poseidon and Nerites’ story feels more balanced, driven by affection rather than control.

The tragic end only adds to its poignancy—Nerites remains part of the sea, in some ways always with Poseidon, but in a transformed, more distant way. This transformation is symbolic of how love and beauty can be fleeting, and even the gods are not immune to loss. Poseidon’s relationship with Nerites may not have the grand tragedy of The Iliad or the intensity of Medea, but it’s a quieter, more introspective tale of love, choice, and the inevitability of change. It deserves to be remembered and appreciated as a unique and tender narrative within the vast canon of Greek myths.

In short, Poseidon and Nerites' relationship offers a glimpse into a side of Poseidon that is rarely explored—one that is more complex, emotional, and tender. It’s a story of love not rooted in power but in mutual respect and affection, which makes it all the more special.
