Zendaya wearing DRIES VAN NOTEN – Vogue Australia
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 .
assorted bits and bobs of maggie's ✨ star wars verse ✨ :
her father was a human smuggler; her mother was a human force sensitive princess from an aquatic planet, left to her own devices on a "peaceful" moon orbiting her home planet (it was a prison and her mother was the one in charge of it, loosely, while also being locked there herself)
their affair was quick and messy, her father only periodically stopping through on his ways to and from various far more exciting places
her mother was never trained by the jedi or sith, instead self-training in her own blend of light and dark sides, though her favored method of punishment for political prisoners isolated on her moon influenced her further towards the dark side
maggie, for better or for worse, was also force sensitive, and learned of the force through her mother's teachings, though she was far more inclined to embrace the full spectrum of attitudes through the force than her mother
by the time the conflict between the separatists and republic grew to full blown war, maggie had left the moon she'd been raised on and instead found herself in a much bigger pond
her dabbling in the darker side of the force marked her with her mother's iconic yellow eyes (though her sclera remained white) which she covered with a mask and visor, fashioned in a parallel fashion to the clones helmets
her preferred weapons are distance, information, and the force itself, though she is quite lethal with a blade (she loves her vibroknife) and though she doesn't have a lightsaber of her own, if she were to come into possession, bond with, and wield one, it would turn white over time
in all of her different eras, she struggles to balance her place in the force, especially when she sees how others with this ability are using it. neither the jedi nor the sith look particularly appealing, so she hides herself (as best she can) from both.
in the clone wars, she focused on familiarizing herself with her father's handiwork from a distance, using his networks to establish her own, interconnected and interwoven with the smuggling rings throughout the galaxies. an independent entity, she made her coin through racing, pleasure, and information smuggling (20-23 yrs)
in the age of the empire/post-order 66, she stepped as far out of empire control as possible, without allying herself with the rebel forces outright, though assisting them in exchange for temporary protection when the empire upped the hunt for force sensitive adults who escaped the previous purges/collections (23-47 yrs)
in the age of the new republic, maggie has leaned hard into replicating her father's smuggling of goods and information, seeking her own power and security in the vacuum left behind, as tales of force sensitive users become stories of a distant past (separate timeline OR 47+ yrs, depending on vibes)

@singofus asked : ❰❰ PULL ❱❱ sender pulls receiver close to them ⇢ magissa ﹠ hypnos
athens , 202x .
she's definitely tipsy . like , not nearly enough to not remember tonight , but still - tipsy . a guy's behind her , the same guy that's been dancing with her for the past three songs , his hands tight on her hips , one hand creeping up to her bare midsection . his hand is hot , heavy , against her skin , and she breathlessly laughs , tilting her head to the side . lips skate along the curve of her neck , and she conjures a moan for him .
maybe she'll get lucky this time .
she feels a heavy gaze on her . nothing she's unaccustomed to , but she looks over anyway , too tipsy to stop the thought of caring .
sleepy , but intense , gold eyes stare back at her , briefly lit by a spinning light . she blinks - the eyes are gone .
she's tipsy , not tired , right ?
the guy behind her tugs her closer , and she works to move her attention back to him ; an impossible feat when she's suddenly pulled into someone else's arms . surprisingly strong arms , but he is a god , she supposes .
she looks up , chin on his chest , her own yellow eyes dilated . the guy says something but she's not paying attention .
she slips her hands into his back pockets , him wearing the joggers and cropped t-shirt she'd cut for him , and presses closer to his form . she can see his fangs from this angle .
yum .
“ never thought i'd see you here , ” she says , biting her lower lip . “ you jealous , my lord ? ”
