Today in Hampton History 1950 - The USS Missouri runs aground near Old Point Comfort. The nation’s only battleship in commission at the time, the ship stuck hard and fast in the sand. Many locals made special trips to Buckroe and Fort Monroe to view the sight. Several attempts to float her failed. Finally, on February 1, a combination of tugboats, pontoons, and an incoming tide managed to free the “Mighty Mo,” and she put into dry dock in Portsmouth for repairs to her hull. Tugboats surround USS Missouri during an attempt to free her 21 January 1950. Wikipedia

pelagic spiral villages
Tumblr media
It's not the prettiest diagram and might be hard to follow. First off, the spiral is a region in the south of the western continent of Siren
Tumblr media
the spiral region is not limited to the actual physical structure of the land, where the characteristic ridges and valleys of Siren crumple up into a twisted shape, but also extends south as far as the icecaps, with the ridges continuing their spiral but underwater (on the map above, the visible spiral is only what extends above water)
It comprises all of the pale blue water in this map area, bordered by the darker deeper water and what is known as the Ice Wall in the south.
The most densely settled areas are within the tallest ridges at the middle of the spiral, as these ridges form physical walls and barriers which prevent many of the dangers of the open sea from entering villages without having to traverse what is quite frankly a labyrinth of narrow valleys beforehand. But at the edges of the spiral, nearer to the ice wall, lies the pelagic village of !uamaa. This is where Huarva comes from and what's pictured at the top.
it is populated by phocids and some selkies underwater and Ice Wall shortwings above water (they are similar to penguins). It consists of a huge three-tiered underwater hall with an air pocket trapped by a tethered tent-like cap made of transparent material derived from sipho scales. The bottom tier is stocked with oxygenating plants (i can only assume they are VERY productive). The middle tier is submerged and where the in habitants enter the hall (through the round openings pictured). Shelf-like beds attached to the sturdy woven walls provide platforms where a phocid can sit with their body submerged but their head out of the water, which is the most comfortable position for them as they do like to have water supporting their weight as much as possible.
The hall was built over a hot water vent in the seafloor. The vent water is directed up through a stone s-duct, which leaves a flat surface above the water which is constantly heated. This is used as a cooking stone; there is a pot of perpetual stew always bubbling here and every villager is expected to contribute something to it every day in return for being allowed to take as much stew as they like.
The other buildings are these balloon type structures which are anchored both to the sea floor and to the floating pontoons above. The balloons do not have oxygen generating plants, but must be manually raised and lowered to the surface to trap more air every day. The colour palette is overall a strongly contrasting black and white (fun fact, pelagic people are hypersensitive to the colour red out of the water, to the point where it might cause headaches)
What's life like in the village? Huarva is often asked this but he cannot truly answer, because he was never a villager. Living out here is extremely tough and demanding, and experience is valued above all else. The eldest and most experienced person in the village is called the All-Bearer and their word is law. The All-Bearer is a matchmaker among villagers, pairing those who are thought to work harmoniously together in arranged partnerships, similar to marriage. Huarva's parents were not arranged; in fact they were strictly forbidden from reproducing because they did not work harmoniously together. They fought and argued and struck sparks off one another, but were inseparable. The All-Bearer gave no blessing for them to have a child.
Tumblr media
^the All-Bearer.
In these cases it's not uncommon for the pregnant parent to find a matched pair and attempt to convince them to claim the child. That way nobody is harmed. But it didn't work out in time, on this occasion, so the child - Huarva - was born and immediately outcast from the village as a potential troublemaker. A pretty rough start all things considered. Huarva was an outsider, not a villager. they could hang around the place, beg, speak to people, but never be granted the elders' wisdom lest it be misused by a child of intrinsically bad character. They basically grew up homeless and uneducated in their village.
And this is a major handicap because of how dangerous this region is. Children are sorted into same-age 'generations' which go through a strict and standardised education before being unleashed as leviathan hunters. A couple years of that, and (assuming they survive), that generation moves on to the next-most dangerous job, replaced by the generation below them. And so on and so forth until what remains is the oldest generation, who are finally granted a safe and comfortable life in return for sharing all the wisdom gathered over the years working different professions. Few will remain by then.
The culture is cold. Repressed. Quiet. Fighting is an exile-worthy offense and disagreements are stifled. The All-Bearer makes every final decision and you cannot question them because you do not have the requisite experience to contradict anything they say. If you must be upset, do it where nobody can see, and never openly express discontent.
Huarva survived to adulthood by choosing to stick around the shallows on top of the underwater ridges. They tried many times to earn the All-Bearer's favour enough to earn a place in the village to no avail. Until the All-Bearer finally had enough of them and sent them away on a fetch quest doomed to fail, because Huarva did not have the education to know how to spot the warning signs of a flow of aerated water. Finding themself trapped under it, they panicked, never having learned any methods to slow their heart and extend their usable breath, and almost drowned. Sheer luck saved them; a leviathan-sized giant sipho flying for the surface caught them between its scale plates. It didn't notice its new passenger and ended up dragging Huarva almost the entire way across the dark and to the spire before they got free.

Snarry-a-Thon 2009 Recs
Snarry-a-Thon is an annual fest of Snarry goodness that always brings so much creativity and joy in the Snarry community. I am forever blown away by how much talent and passion Snarry-lovers have. With that in mind, I wanted to create some special recs for a fest near and dear to my heart.
My original plan was to create a list with one fic per year, but that quicky became impossible. There is much too much to love! I narrowed it down to 5 per year, but I urge you to take a looksy at the masterlists for each year, too, as there are many more fics than the ones I highlight! These lists are my personal favorites and what resonated with me the most.
And with that...
Disclaimer: my rec lists are created based on my personal experiences and preferences. There are plenty of other stories and authors who are quite good and deserve just as much love. This is not meant to be an objective "best of the best" list, but the subjective opinion of a longtime reader and fangirl.
Tumblr media
An Awkward Customer
by AnyaElizabeth. Rated: E. Words: 10,768. Unresolved Sexual Tension. Resolved Sexual Tension.
Snape can't figure out why Potter is hanging around his shop.
The Man Who
by Dementordelta. Rated: E. Words: 10,773. Bachelor auction.
Harry Potter makes a deal with Severus Snape to keep himself from being humiliated in a charity auction. But sometimes a binding magical contract is more than a binding magical contract.
L'ouragan
by Femme (@femmequixotic). Rated: E. Words: 9,111. New Orleans.
As a Louisiana girl, seeing New Orleans in a Snarry brought me so much joy, I have to say.
We had tried, but not even magic could stop the rising flood. Instead, we'd turned to rescuing those we could, joining the wizards and Muggles traversing the streets of the ward in boats, pontoons, any damn thing that could float. We pulled people from rooftops, from attics, from damned trees, until the soldiers arrived finally and sent us away.
The Secret of Seeing Rightly
by Quill_lumos. Rated: E. Words: 25,943. Bonding. Hurt/comfort. Romance.
Severus Snape can cope alone no-longer, he needs help. At the end of his energies he forces a bond on the one person who might be able to help him – Harry Potter.
Seven Steps to Heaven
by whitecotton. Rated: E. Words: 16,938. MCD. Drama. Humor. Parody.
Severus should have died in the shrieking shack and gone on to enjoy a relaxing death in hell - or heaven. However, although he managed the first task, he fell short at the second. Now he's stuck in the land of the living, invisible to all but one person: Harry Potter. Written for the 2009 Snarry-a-Thon. Note: Although this warns for character death, I can promise you a happy ending for our boys. If you are still reluctant, however, there is a good stop point that is still sunlight and roses at the end of Step Seven.
Snarry-a-Thon 2009 Masterlist

I saw in the news recently there was a walrus in Norway known as Freya that had been sunning on/sinking boats - is this the same walrus as the Welsh walrus you reported on?
She was not - Wally was a male (and WHAT a male), whereas Freya was female. They both have recognisable scars, so you can spot the difference.
I have very mixed feelings on what's happened with Freya, actually. I do think the decision to euthanise was taken too quickly, given that they hadn't tried a whole bunch of things they could have done - there was nothing done to keep the crowds away from her, no fines were ever issued to people who literally walked up to her with their kids to take photos. Controlling the human population really should have been the first port of call. But, with that said, a lot of people are saying she should have been relocated - that's not actually a solution, wild marine mammals die all the time when we try relocating them. Plus, you actually can't sedate them. Shoot a walrus with a dart gun, and in the seconds it takes for the sedative to kick in, 1,300 pounds of oceanic cow zipped into a sleeping bag has dropped off the boat it was resting on and swum out to deeper waters to get away, at which point they fall asleep and drown. Relocations have to be done on a conscious walrus, at which point stress kicks in and SOMEONE is going to end up with broken bones and a lung full of brine.
Stena the walrus didn't survive relocation, in fact. That's a recent example. What we have, in fact, is three walruses in the same graduating class, as it were - Stena, Freya and Wally. One relocated, one euthanised, one guarded and given a pontoon and a life coach. Only one of those had a happy ending and a walrus returned to the Arctic. I would like to see more northern European authorities examine those three and see what lessons can be learned, because we're going to start seeing more of this thanks to climate change.
Or, alternatively, northern European authorities can read my personal blog and the thoughts of me, a very important walrus journalist, because here's the big difference:
Wally landed in Wales, and we protected him.
FROM OURSELVES, as well as others. When Wally reached the first Pembrokeshire beach and was spotted by his first environmentalist, his location was kept secret so no one would bother him. When he moved into Tenby for a month and a half, two local women, a mother-and-daughter duo called Linda and Amy Compton who volunteer with Welsh Marine Life Rescue, set up a whole guard line and spent all day every day policing the crowds. Amy even recruited new volunteers to help. We fined people who got too close, by boat or by swimming included. We threatened people with violating the Wildlife and Countryside Act. We made damn sure that walrus was left the fuck alone.
He nearly got lynched on the Isles of Scilly, after he left Wales - so, they built him his own floating pontoon so he'd leave the rich boats alone. They got in a life coach, who helped the locals respect Wally's feelings. They went to a nearby zoo and got several gallons of polar bear piss and sprayed it about to deter his boating exploits.
And it meant that, eventually, he went home by himself, and no one was injured. Meanwhile, Freya spent her last days mega stressed because people were walking right up to her and even throwing things at her. She chased a woman into the sea. Shit got real.
Poor thing. In any case, Wally had his happy ending at least.
